Chapter 1269 Zhao Kuo's Trap(2/2)
Not only do we have to issue a letter of war, but we also have to find a wide area and set up a formation to hedge. Victory people often have to salute the defeated people.
So from this perspective, these guys from the Mauryan Dynasty really didn't get rid of this more sloppy aristocratic thinking.
So Zhao Kuo smiled very readily and said to the envoy in front of him: "Since your emperor has made a request, then as the emperor of Chongzhen, I can agree to his conditions. At noon tomorrow, we both sides will each send out 5,000 troops to fight on the battlefield."
Looking at the back of the messenger who was leaving happily, Li Mu couldn't help but say curiously: "Does Your Majesty really want to rule out our musketeers and attack them?
I feel it was a massacre.”
Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "It's not impossible to use musketeers, but this will bring a problem, that is, once these guys find that they were defeated by us, they should be hiding behind this line of defense and are unwilling to come out to fight a real decisive battle."
After hearing this, Li Mu understood what Zhao Kuo meant: "So Your Majesty plans to use our servants to fight, right?"
The so-called minion army, that is, the troops recruited from the land Zhao Kuo reconquered, came from the original empires such as Seleucid, Ptolemy, and Antico.
Zhao Kuo nodded with a smile. This was Zhao Kuo's idea, because what Zhao Kuo wanted was not the line of defense in front of him. What he wanted was to directly destroy all the main forces of Ashoka in a big battle.
Therefore, Zhao Kuo didn't mind showing weakness first. Only by showing weakness can these guys be relieved and not wasted. Zhao Kuo has been waiting here for more than half a month.
