Chapter 503 Attack on Fahrenheit City

Of course, Xiang Yu didn't know that in the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty, the worst job to do was feeding and training elephants.

The elephants of this era are all wild elephants brought back from the jungle. Although the people of the Mauryan Dynasty have left some tricks in taming elephants since ancient times, they really cannot reach the level of being able to understand the language of elephants as Xiang Yu imagined. They just had a little understanding of the elephants' living habits.

The reason why the number of peacocks in the Mauryan Dynasty raised more and more in recent years was that taming and feeding elephants was a very expensive job, and the death rate of the soldiers of the Mauryan Dynasty, who were striving to raise and train elephants, was very high.

These two reasons have made fewer and fewer elephants under the rule of Sharishuga. At the same time, the sergeant who was a sergeant died in an accident and no one could make up for it in time. The level of elephants was not much worse than the time when Ashoka was in the first period.

If we say that the Mauryan dynasty was domesticating elephants during the Ashoka period, then now it is just raising them. As for training, the soldiers who raised elephants wanted to live two more years.

Of course, Xiang Yu and Han Xin didn't know about these backgrounds, and even Sharishuga didn't know about them. Since he became the monarch of the Mauryan Dynasty, he had hardly seen the power of this elephant army with his own eyes, because in his opinion the smell on the elephant was really too big.

On the night after the three of them discussed, Long Qi took 20,000 Hun cavalry around a hill, lined up in a row, and slowly approached a military camp next to it.

Because they guarded the capital, their guards were quite tight. Teams of guards patrolled around the camp, but their purpose was more to protect Fahrenheit City than to guard the military camp.

Their military camp was set up very reasonably because of the previous fine traditions. They all believed that it was not necessary to be guarded all the time, but this also gave Long Qi a chance.

Long Qi slowly walked from the other side of Fahrenheit to a dead corner between an arrow tower and the military camp, and then stopped temporarily because he knew that if he moved forward, he would probably be discovered.

He had to observe the course of the patrolling guards first, so as to choose the opportunity for him to be discovered at the latest. For the cavalry he led, every second was very precious after rushing.

"After rushing into the camp, kill as many soldiers as possible on the periphery. Don't go deep into the camp. Our goal is to lure them out!"

After conveying this sentence at the end, Long Qi gave the order and rushed out first. Then the Huns' cavalry all rushed out, heading for the direction of the camp in the dark.

The soldiers who were the first to patrol the Mauryan Dynasty were hearing a sound of horse hooves. They did not realize what was going on for a while. It was not until another team of patrolling people not far away that they suddenly realized that there might be enemy troops outside their military camp.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The sergeant who first reacted quickly shouted while raising the signal, but within half a minute, after a while of horse hooves approaching, he was also killed by the Huns' short sword.

But at this time, the situation below had already attracted the idea of ​​the people above the Arrow Tower. Although they could not determine how many enemies they had come for a while, they could know that they were attacked by a team of cavalry.

According to normal logic, these cavalry should have attacked Fahrenheit City, so after receiving the reminder from the guards above the Arrow Tower, the soldiers in the surrounding camps rushed to the city gates of Fahrenheit City and set up their formations to guard their city gates.

When he saw this situation, a smile appeared on Long Qi's face, which was almost exactly the same as what Xiang Yu guessed before leaving. Under such circumstances, the military camp he was going to was caught off guard again.

When Long Qi and a group of cavalry rushed towards the barracks without any sluggishness, many soldiers in the barracks were about to leave and wanted to go to the gate of Fahrenheit City. Suddenly, they found that the enemy had rushed to the gate of their camp, all of whom were confused. However, when they found that their companions were killed by the other party without any mercy, they finally knew that this wave of sergeants would not rush directly to the city of Fahrenheit City, but would start a killing in their barracks.

Such a battle can be said to be the best way for the Huns cavalry. In Heitian, the opponent is also an infantryman. As long as the sword in his hand is casually spreading across his chest, he can take the lives of the enemy troops in his rapid running.

The defenders in the Mauryan dynasty camp lit torches because they couldn't see where the enemy came from. However, such torches not only failed to let them see the enemy more clearly, but made them a clearer target for the Hun cavalry. Often, a torch was just lit for a short while, and the soldiers holding the torch were killed.

According to Long Qi's instructions, the Hun cavalry did not go deep into the barracks, but only attacked and killed the outside of the barracks. After all, there were 50,000 or 60,000 infantry in the barracks. When the soldiers inside reacted, they no longer went out blindly, but began to gather together. They also knew that when dealing with such cavalry, everyone must be dispatched together, and a thin front line would not play any role in the other party.

At this time, Long Qi was also observing the enemy's every move. Seeing that the deep inside the camp was silly, it was obviously already gathering. So he quickly ordered his cavalry to continue chasing the enemy alone while slowly moving towards one direction of the camp, and that direction was the military camp full of elephants.

At the same time, the enemy's incident outside Fahrenheit City was transmitted to Fahrenheit City as quickly as possible, and into Sharishuga's ears.

"What? Tens of thousands of cavalry have actually attacked the city of my Fahrenheit City? Why haven't I heard any reports before? It's just that an insignificant city on the border was captured. It took only a few days to attack the walls of the royal city?"

Since he became the master of the Mauryan Dynasty, the majesty of the dynasty has never been provoked like this and hit the doorstep of his home. If this is spread in the future, even the small countries scattered around the Mauryan Dynasty will laugh out loud.

Shari Sugan wondered, but his advisers were not puzzled. The cities and troops on the border and the seaside were defeated by mysterious forces with explosive combat power. This is a sign. If they really want to go against your Mauryan Dynasty, their ultimate goal is of course your royal city, Huashi City, and there will be no second place.

"Son, since the opponent has only 20,000 or 30,000 cavalrymen, and the guards around my Fahrenheit City are as many as 200,000 to 300,000, we don't have to worry. Even if these cavalry have amazing combat power, they are definitely not the opponent of our hundreds of thousands of troops."

"Yes! Mobilize all the soldiers in the barracks to meet the enemy. If the infantry cannot catch up with the opponent's cavalry, we will release our Mauryan elephants. These 20,000 to 30,000 people, and one hundred elephants can break them, so that they can see the ability of our Mauryan dynasty and let them retreat in the face of difficulties!"

At this time, Shari Saika was already in anger. He originally wanted to attack a Qin that was about the same size as him, and get countless treasures and beautiful girls from the Qin Dynasty. But now, not only the soldiers who attacked the Qin Dynasty were killed and dispersed in unknown ways, but even the guide didn't know where to go. Later, his dynasty was fucked to the capital by others. The contrast between the up and down really made Shari Saika a little unacceptable, so he wanted to destroy this 20,000 30,000 people who were ignorant of life and death as quickly as possible.

Of course, his men did not dare to disobey the orders of Sharishuga, and they did want to eliminate these enemies quickly, so the generals under his command issued an order at that time to dispatch all the defenders and elephants to annihilate all these cavalry under the city of Fahrenheit!

In this way, it was a bit unfunny for Long Qi. Originally, because almost all the soldiers were heading towards the city gate, he only attacked the people in one camp, and there was almost no pressure. However, after receiving the order from Sharishuga, the generals of each camp came to Long Qi's team. At this moment, Long Qi could see that something was wrong.

"Maybe they don't want to send out the elephants?"

After thinking of this result, Long Qi was still very disappointed. If this wave of fierce operations as fierce as a tiger could not lead to an elephant, it would be equivalent to a failure of his mission. Even if he killed 18,000 enemy troops, it would naturally be very unprofitable for their exposure.

However, according to Xiang Yu's arrangement, under such circumstances, he still had an action. If this action still did not work, he would probably have to withdraw his troops. Otherwise, when the large encirclement of others was formed, most of his 20,000 cavalry would have to be explained here.

Han Xin and Xiang Yu were also secretly observing this scene not far away. They each brought 30,000 to 40,000 people and horses in two directions of Fahrenheit City. According to the results they discussed before, once the scene in their minds occurred, they could almost send troops. After all, the current Mauryan Dynasty may only know that the 20,000 people and horses are currently attacking their barracks, and they do not know that there are 80,000 cavalry behind these 20,000 people and horses, and there are at least tens of thousands of infantrymen closer to this place.

At this time, Long Qi gave a decisive order, killing and leaving, and the direction was the camp where the elephants were raised.

The actions I saw in the eyes of the Mauryan soldiers, they were running away in a panic, and their luck was not very good. They were heading to the camp they thought were the most terrifying. If the elephants were released there, they would be a existence that even their own people were afraid of.

It was also at this time that the camp that raised elephants received the order from Sharishuga, instructing them to dispatch elephants to wipe out these cavalrymen who were slipping in the hands of the infantry.

"General, do you really want to dispatch the elephants in this barracks?"

After receiving this order, a deputy general in the battalion asked his chief general hesitantly. Obviously, they were not very happy with the news that should have allowed them to show their skills.

"How many elephants can we control well?"

"This... hasn't been tried for a long time, but we often practice the sound of the flute that activates the elephant. I think there should be no problem within a hundred heads."

After this sentence was said, their chief general frowned. In this sentence, he could hear too many uncertain things. However, since Shariputra gave the order, it was under the city of Fahrenheit. People were waiting for their news in the city. More or less, they had to perform, so that these 20,000 cavalrymen who didn't know how to live or die could see the power of the unique elephant of the Mauryan Dynasty.

"Then let's just send out a hundred heads for now. With this rush, I think it can make these 20,000 troops fall into pieces. The rest are those infantrymen."

In this way, the beast pens that were holding elephants were opened quickly. Some people who tame these elephants on weekdays sat on horseback and followed closely next to the elephants. Each elephant slowly climbed up a person on the back. Everyone was holding something like a flute in their hands.

On both sides of the elephant are about a thousand cavalry. Their role is to cooperate with the elephant to fight. If the enemy is shocked by the rushing elephant, they will reap the lives of the enemy next to them.

"It's the elephant. This time they really used the elephant. Pay attention to my order!"

Long Qi, who was in the lead, was staring at the gate of the camp, so when the elephants came out, listening to the elephants' neighing, Long Qi knew that the other party sent an elephant.

At this time, he wisely slowed down the marching speed. If he really faced the rushing elephant, there would be no need to say anything. These 20,000 people could basically not go back.
