Chapter 708: Hole Card
"Under the leadership of your Majesty, our Peacock Empire is unprecedentedly powerful. How could we lose to those weak generals of Great Qin?"
In Huashi City, in the splendid palace, a middle-aged man who was ranked first among the ministers spoke contemptuously.
He is the most trusted minister of King Jialuo, and his status is also the highest among the ministers.
The treatment he enjoys is even better than that of a prince!
"Yes! That's right! The reason why Jilinga City was defeated must have been a mistake in the tactics used by Beard, which gave the Qin army an opportunity! If it were a head-on confrontation, they would definitely not be our army's opponent!"
After hearing what he said, King Jialuo's face became even more proud.
Obviously, the middle-aged man’s flattery was very effective!
He only relied on flattery to get to where he is today!
In his words, they are all the king's ministers and must act according to the king's face!
And he just saw that King Jialuo did not take Qin Jun seriously, so he belittled Qin Jun and praised King Jialuo!
The result was what he expected, King Jialuo was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear and nodded repeatedly!
"Your Majesty! Even if Beard made a tactical mistake, it is an army of 100,000 people. If the two armies clash, it should be no problem for a few days. How could it be destroyed within a few hours?"
Several city lords stressed with anxious expressions.
You know, their families are still in the city. If the king doesn't quickly send troops to stop the attack, their families will be in danger!
"Have any of you seen with your own eyes that the one hundred thousand troops of the Mauryan Dynasty were destroyed in a few hours?"
As soon as the city lord finished speaking, King Jialuo immediately sat up and glanced at them coldly, obviously unhappy.
Isn't this just flattering others and saying that the people under their command are just losers and inferior to the Qin army?
"Forehead……"
Seeing that the king was angry, the city lords did not dare to speak again.
"Okay, come with me, let you see the power of my Mauryan Elephant Army...!"
King Jialuo frowned, stood up slowly, and walked out of the hall. As he walked, he turned his head and said to the middle-aged man just now: "Mor, go and gather the elephant army and let them prepare."
good!"
"yes!"
The middle-aged man showed a proud smile and responded.
The rest of the people followed King Jialuo and looked at each other in confusion.
It's not that I haven't heard of the power of the Elephant Army, it's just that I haven't seen it.
This army has been kept in the palace, and even the princes and ministers rarely see it!
Although I train every day, I will never use it unless there is an emergency!
In other words, this army is the trump card of the entire Mauryan Dynasty!
"Don't you say that the Qin army is very powerful? Today I will let you see whether the Qin army is more powerful or our elephant army is more powerful!"
King Jialuo sneered as he walked.
It was as if those frightened city lords just now were clowns who had never seen the world!
"General Reis, have you seen the Elephant Army?"
On the way to visit the Elephant Army, a city lord at the back quickly took two steps to catch up with the young general in front of him and asked softly.
"I was lucky enough to see it once, during the elephant army parade, but the elephant army did not have any equipment, and they did not exert their combat effectiveness. They were no different from ordinary elephants!"
The general glanced forward to make sure that King Jia Luo had not noticed them, so he lowered his voice and responded.
The Elephant Army holds a parade every two years. Tens of thousands of elephants, led by soldiers, circle around Fahrenheit City.
It is an auspicious symbol, and it also tells the people that the Maurya Dynasty’s trump card is still there, so that everyone can feel at ease!
Whenever there is such a parade, almost all the people in the city will go to watch it.
One by one, they knelt on both sides of the street, kowtowed and prayed for peace!
But what everyone has seen is only the biennial parade. As for the strength of the elephant army, few people in the entire Maurya Dynasty have seen it!
I heard that the king was going to take them to see the elephant army, and even the generals seemed very excited!
"Your Majesty, the elephant army is ready and can go in at any time!"
Outside a martial arts arena, More strode back and reported to King Jialuo.
"good……!"
King Jialuo smiled with satisfaction and said to the people behind him: "Let's go and see the elephant army of our Maurya Dynasty! We will discuss it after seeing it!"
After saying that, he took the lead into the empty martial arts arena.
He believes that as long as those timid city lords see the powerful elephant army, they will be more confident and will never say those depressing words again!
"yes!"
Everyone lowered their heads, responded, and followed King Jialuo in.
After a while, hundreds of well-equipped elephants walked out in unison.
The elephant army is huge and heavy. Hundreds of them walked out together, and it felt like the whole earth was shaking!
When the city lords saw this shocking scene, their jaws dropped in shock!
Seeing their shocked expressions, King Jialuo laughed proudly!
"how?"
"The elephant army is mighty!"
Apart from these four words, the city lords really couldn't think of any other adjectives.
"Our elephant army wears heavy armor made of fine iron. No matter whether it is a sword or a crossbow, it cannot hurt it at all! Even if the Qin army has any secret weapons, this heavy armor can protect them!"
"Compared with our powerful elephant army, the Qin people are like ants. The elephant army can easily crush them to death with one foot!"
"What's more, these are only a small part. Our Maurya Dynasty has tens of thousands of elephant troops, all of whom are marching into battle. Not to mention the Qin army, even their horses are so frightened that they lose their combat effectiveness and run wildly in all directions! Hahaha!"
Seeing the shocked looks on the faces of several city lords, King Jialuo laughed proudly.
"Send the order and let the elephant army start practicing!"
As if he was not satisfied with the shock of several city lords, King Jialuo ordered another drill.
After receiving the order, the soldiers followed the usual training methods and guided hundreds of elephants to practice!
The elephant's trunk was raised high into the sky, making a deafening neighing sound that even the city lords felt frightened when they heard it!
The elephant keeps raising its legs, crushing the targets placed on the ground.
With a flick of the elephant's trunk, several sections of the tree stump buried in the soil were swept away.
You can imagine how powerful it is!
"The elephant army is protected by heavy armor. The enemy army cannot be harmed at all, so they can only wait to be crushed by our elephant army, haha!"
The more King Jialuo saw it, the more confident he became, and he laughed heartily.
After a while, he glanced at the several city lords with a proud look on his face, "How do you feel? Do you still think that the Qin army can defeat our Maurya Dynasty?"
"The king is mighty!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
The city lords who were pale and at a loss before now have their faces restored to rosy and feel confident!
If such a powerful elephant army is sent out to deal with the Qin army, the battle will not be resolved in an instant, but at least it will be a sure win!
