Chapter 539: The Action That Makes the Enemy's Throat

Meng Tian did things like chopping melons and vegetables. After five days of setting off, he and the 100,000 cavalry he brought no longer paid attention to other matters, but rested in Fahrenheit City for five days.

Five days later, when Meng Tian appeared again, it was like a different person. Compared to when he first arrived here, he seemed to be several years younger. With such recovery speed, Long Qi and Peng Yue, who were much younger than him, had to admire him. Whether it was a habit or talent, a successful general would definitely need Meng Tian’s ability.

Meng Tian directly ordered the 100,000 cavalry he brought from Xianyang City and Shangjun, and the 30,000 Xiongnu cavalry under Long Qi's command. The cavalry alone had reached 130,000. This scale was no small. According to the feedback from the scouts sent by Peng Yue and the others, it must be much more than the soldiers of the Seleu Dynasty.

Before sending the troops, Meng Tian summoned Peng Yue and Long Qi to him and informed them of his plan. This plan obviously won the approval of the two. After listening to Meng Tian's arrangements briefly, when the sky gradually became darker, the three of them set off with a large army.

When Meng Tian led his army to the City of Fahrenheit, the generals of the Seleuth dynasty obviously did not know that the generals of our dynasty were close to the City of Fahrenheit, because the soldiers of the Qin and the Huns were very strict. Although the generals of the Seleuth dynasty sent some scouts to investigate the situation of the City of Fahrenheit, they basically returned without success except for being left forever.

On this day, the general responsible for the use of troops from the Seleuth Dynasty on the Qin territory was waiting for the news of Ankets III in the city he guarded. According to his previous reward, his advice to Antiots III was to quickly send some defenders with objects and equipment to take over the cities he had attacked, especially the ones they were currently stationed.

The Mauryan Dynasty turned out to be a great dynasty. It has a very deep dynasty heritage. If there are enough personnel and equipment to defend each city, it will be very easy to defend. However, the guy Sharishuga really feels too good, which leads to this huge disaster for the Mauryan Dynasty.

However, Antioch III's reaction this time was not as fast as expected, and they had already arrived at a relatively deep place. It was very time-consuming to transport the infantry and the equipment that defended the city.

However, the enemy often does not wait for you to arrange many affairs before launching an attack. The notice this general suddenly received on this day was a very bad news for him.

"What? They dared to occupy cities so close to the several cities we occupied? It's really a lie!"

It turned out that Meng Tian led Peng Yue and Long Qi to march all the way, bypassing the scouts of the Seleu Dynasty from the side, and then stationed them on the side of the four cities of the generals, which was the one that was attacked by the generals who were defeated and killed by Peng Yue and Long Qi.

Since the general was killed by the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty, the generals of the Seleu Dynasty did not want their troops to be too dispersed due to division of troops, so they emptyed the city. They never dreamed that they would be swung into the city by the enemy's cavalry.

"Not bad, but this time the enemy troops came here seem to be much more than before. Although they had already entered the city when we discovered it, this large group of people was definitely no less than 60,000 to 70,000. However, according to our previous investigation, it seems that the alien race did not have so many cavalry on the land of the Mauryan Dynasty, which is a bit strange."

The people of the Seleu Dynasty were actually not sure how many cavalrymen had entered the city. They just said 60,000 or 70,000 based on their feelings. And even with such a number, they thought they should have overestimated the team of this alien race.

Although they annihilated the entire team of their own side through a surprise attack with less troops last time, in their opinion, it was because the general did not follow the command and was eager to make contributions, so he gave the enemy such an opportunity. If he had been staying in his city honestly, there would naturally be nothing like that.

"They must have known that the four cities not far away are all from my Seleu Dynasty. Since they dare to occupy such a city, they obviously have some support. This matter should not be taken lightly and quickly summoned the other three people to me to discuss this matter!"

The general's mentality was still very steady. Through the last sneak attack, he had already taken the attention of the cavalry of the alien race. The guy who fled back told him that the opponent's archers were very strong. If the two consecutive rounds of arrow rains were not shot at them at the beginning, even if they were attacked, they would not have suffered so many casualties.

Not to mention that the four generals of the Seleu Dynasty began to discuss how to deal with Meng Tian and the others, after Meng Tian and the other three led their troops into this small city, the people all over the city were very afraid of the tens of thousands of cavalry who were entering one after another.

At this time, the remaining people in this city are basically the old, weak, sick and disabled. They are unable to escape, or they are not far away to endure the pain of leaving their hometown, so they simply do whatever they should do in their homes, waiting for fate to arrange for themselves.

Meng Tian and the others have already prepared for this situation. After so long studying and research, the scholars of the Qin Dynasty have already mastered the language of the Mauryan Dynasty to a very good level.

Under such circumstances, Meng Tian and his friends brought a few translators. As soon as they entered the city, they explained to the people in the city that although the Qin Dynasty took over the Mauryan Dynasty, they would not harm the people of the Mauryan Dynasty. They would bring equal Qin laws without caste system to the people of the Mauryan Dynasty, and would exempt them from corvee labor when they were in trouble and distribute food to them.

Such a statement is indeed very satisfying for the people of the Mauryan Dynasty, because after more than 100,000 well-clad cavalry entered the city, they did not infringe on the people. They just observed the structure of the city and the guard points. Compared with the generals of the Seleu dynasty who had occupied this place for a very short time, they were truly one in heaven and one on the earth.

But these translators also said that if the Qin Dynasty transformed the Mauryan Dynasty, the primary task was to drive out the robbers from the Seleu Dynasty. Our more than 100,000 troops came for this purpose. As long as you ordinary people cooperate well, don’t panic and don’t be confused, that’s all.

After these words were instilled in, the city was indeed very stable, and there was almost no incident of the people running around. Such an environment also greatly facilitated Meng Tian and his friends' arrangements in the city.

As soon as he entered the city, Meng Tian used all the arrow towers that made the city and the arrow holes that could be arranged on the city wall.

Although this is the design of the predecessors of the Mauryan Dynasty, it is perfectly matched with the Qin crossbow, the largest Qin crossbow. If the lethality was pulled on the arrow tower, if it was three points, then the lethality would be ten if it was replaced by the Qin crossbow.

"General, we really put the army under the enemy's nose like this. Once a war breaks out, it will be very tragic!"

Although the plan has been following Meng Tian’s arrangement, Peng Yue was still a little worried. What he was good at is guerrilla warfare. When it came, the front might happen, he would feel nervous for no reason.

"The tragic is certain, but the tragic thing is not the general of the Qin Dynasty, but their soldiers. If they do not occupy such a city, it will be a tragic battle. If they leave the city, our army will be half of the victory in this battle. You tell General Long Qi that he can go to the place we set tonight as planned. Tonight the generals of the Seleu Dynasty will definitely discuss how to send troops, but most of them will not promote the attack on our army. After all, they do not know the exact number of our army, and they think that our army has become a turtle in the jar in this lonely city."

After Meng Tian explained this, Peng Yue was a little relieved. He didn't dare to delay and immediately told Long that it was time for him to appear.

According to their previous plan, when it was dawn, the army entered the city while it was unprepared. When it was dark, Long Qi quietly left the city with his men. About thirty miles away from the city, a small river slowly flowed out of a forest. Long Qi's destination was the forest.

Originally, Long Qi was very incomprehensible about such an arrangement. Even if they hid it very well before, more than 100,000 people entering a city in broad daylight would definitely be discovered by the enemy. This makes it difficult to understand what Meng Tian means.

But when Meng Tian said what Long Qi wanted Long Qi to do in the end, Long Qi finally understood Meng Tian's meaning, so on this night, he quietly left the city without any hesitation.

Also on this night, just like Meng Tian had guessed before, they walked into a city with great swaggers. For the people of the Seleu Dynasty, the heated discussion was not over until midnight.

"Since we have been attacked by these people once before, we naturally cannot allow these people to occupy a city so easily. Today they will gain a firm foothold in this city. Tomorrow they will attack another city, and we are divided into four cities. If we cannot clear these people out as soon as possible, I will probably be defeated by them one by one when I wait for the four cities."

At the end of the discussion, the responsible general expressed his thoughts. Obviously, this was not a question they wanted, but the enemy suddenly made such a move under their noses. Although it seemed very brainless, it seemed to them that a bone was stuck in their throats. In the end, only by eliminating these people could avoid greater trouble.

"Then according to the general's wishes, should we take the initiative to attack?"

"Yes, although we don't have any siege equipment, that city is much smaller than the four cities we currently occupy. The walls and gates are not solid, and the enemy is all cavalry. The cavalry cannot play any role in the city. It is just that we can use the arrow tower to fire some bows and arrows. How can we concentrate our superior forces and force them to go out of the city to fight head-on with our army, and our army can achieve its contribution in one battle. If we can kill all these cavalry, we may go a step further and take down the city and nearby cities..."

This general was obviously quite extraordinary. After he was suddenly stuck in a good place, he was not angry, but saw an opportunity in such a situation.

After he said this, the generals who were a little upset all had some energy. Of course, they knew what it meant to their dynasty if they could capture Fahrenheit City. They originally thought that the enemy's hard power was quite strong, and there was no hope of capturing Fahrenheit City, but in this way, it seemed as if the enemy's operation gave them a chance.

"Then we will immediately reorganize the troops and set out. Our four armies have a total of more than 80,000 cavalry, which is enough to fight against tens of thousands of people on the other side!"

"Yes, I'm going to take it down directly while the enemy has just entered that city not long ago and the defense of the city is not perfect. Wouldn't it be very simple?"

Suddenly, several generals of the Seleu Dynasty not only felt confident, but also couldn't wait for this battle.

"It's not appropriate. If our army mobilizes its troops at this time, its combat effectiveness will not be the strongest time, and the enemy will take the initiative to attack. It is extremely easy to be ambushed in such a dark night. It's better to wait until tomorrow and tomorrow. You and others will bring their own troops to attack that city together!"

In this way, they made up their own plans.

The time of the night almost passed quickly. When the sky was getting brighter, Peng Yue found Meng Tian with a worried look on his face and said, "General, the enemies in those cities did not move at all. As expected, they did not come to attack the city we just occupied last night. Is our army..."

"Continue to observe carefully. The enemy generals are still somewhat capable, but it is precisely because he may be a little capable that he must make some moves within a day. Our army will still rest in batches without any changes!"
