Chapter 714: Xiangjun may not be delicious
After learning that the army was defeated and the lord of Bodhgaya City fled, before More could react, he was forcefully dragged out by several other veterans and ran out of the back door!
"Lord Moore, run quickly. The Qin army is already attacking the city. They really have magical weapons that can explode. If we run too slow, we may not be safe!"
"Yes! It's better to hurry up!"
The veterans were running and urging.
But until he left the city lord's palace and took a detour out of Bodhgaya City through a winding path, Moll still looked confused and full of disbelief.
"What we just saw was really done by the Qin army?"
"That's right! Lord Moore, we clearly heard the Qin army's charge. It's absolutely correct!"
"That's right! The deafening roar raised up a huge cloud of smoke and dust, and its power can be imagined. Even if we are still a long way away from the city wall, we can still feel the warm firelight!"
Mentioning this, the expressions of horror on the faces of the veterans became even worse, and they couldn't help but speed up their pace.
"Lord Moore, let's run away quickly. If it's too late, the Qin army will definitely come after us after entering the city!"
"Escape from the city of Bodh Gaya first, go to the next tribe to find a few horses, and quickly go back to report to the king, so that the king can send out the elephant army, and maybe we can compete with the Qin army!"
Now the veterans understand that the survivors of Jilingjia City are really not talking nonsense. On the contrary, the strength of the Qin army may be a bit stronger than their legends.
All 360,000 people were wiped out in less than half a day.
With such an astonishing speed, only the Xiang Army can compete with it!
"Your Majesty attaches great importance to the Elephant Army, and I wonder if he will agree to send the Elephant Army out?"
Moore frowned and ran forward together.
He got to his current position only through flattery and flattery, and he was the best at guessing King Jialuo's thoughts.
Seeing how King Jia Luo treats the elephant army like a treasure, you know that he will not let the elephant army out to fight easily!
"Whether we agree or not, we all agree that the Qin army is too powerful. If we don't send out the elephant army, there is no chance of winning!"
The old ministers all had sad faces.
"Lord Moore, the king trusts you the most. When the time comes, we will go together to persuade the king. The king will definitely believe us!"
"Yeah! That's good!"
Moore thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
…
As soon as More and others left the city of Bodhgaya, Han Xin led his army to attack the city.
The troops were dispersed, and after cleaning up the remaining troops in the city, they went straight to the city lord's palace!
"Damn it, weren't these guys pretty tough before? In less than a day, why did they just apply oil on the soles of their feet and all the people running away disappeared?"
The entire city lord's palace was empty. Fan Kuai put his hands on his hips and cursed when he opened his mouth.
"I guess they won't be able to run far. General, how about I lead a team and go after them?"
Peng Yue took the initiative to ask for help.
"Yes, weren't you still arrogant last night? We must capture them!"
When mentioning the envoys entering their Qin camp last night, Fan Kuai still looked aggrieved.
"No need!"
However, Han Xin shook his head.
"Why is this?"
"Let them run back and deliver a message to inform King Jialuo of our strength. In this case, King Jialuo will definitely summon all the troops to deal with us, and maybe even release the elephant army. This is no better than our attack on one city after another.
Much faster?"
Han Xin smiled lightly and said.
"Yeah! That makes sense!"
Wang Li and others nodded repeatedly.
The Mauryan Dynasty had a lot of troops, but it was impossible for them all to be concentrated in Fahrenheit City.
Instead of attacking one city after another, it is better to let those who escaped run back to deliver the message, bringing fear to Huashi City and making King Jia Luo feel the crisis.
In this case, they will definitely mobilize their troops and attack with all their strength!
"Hey! This is better! When they release the Elephant Army, I will tell the artillery team to hit the Elephant Army on the head. Don't beat the body to pieces. I also want to taste what the Elephant Army is like.
What a taste!”
Fan Kuai stared with eyes as big as copper bells and laughed with great interest.
"Lao Fan, let me tell you, you don't have to worry about it all the time. That thing may not be as delicious as mutton!"
Meng Yun put one hand on his shoulder and said with a smile.
"Why is this?"
"Think about it! Is the chicken tender?"
"It must be tender!"
"Where's the mutton?"
"Hmm...! A little worse, but not bad!"
"Where's the horsemeat?"
"After the horse meat is cooked, it smells great, but the shreds are too thick and not as tender as mutton!"
"Wouldn't it be better to cut it off? This means that the bigger the animal is, the rougher the meat will be! If the elephant army is really as big as the rumors, it probably won't taste very good!"
"Forehead……!"
After some analysis by Meng Yun, Fan Kuai suddenly felt that it made sense, and half of the twinkling light in his eyes disappeared.
"Okay, after struggling for so long, hurry up and send the order to bury the pot to make rice. The rest of the people will have a good look inside the city lord's mansion to see if there is any fish that has slipped through the net!"
Han Xin issued the order.
"yes!"
Fan Kuai responded and quickly went to do it.
"Haha! If this guy doesn't persuade him properly and is always thinking about stewing the Elephant Army, he will let the artillery hit the Elephant Army on the head. If he misses, with this guy's temper, he will fly into a rage and beat up the artillery soldier.
Instead of reprimanding him, it is better to let him expect less, and the artilleryman will be spared this scolding!"
After Fan Kuai left, Meng Yun smiled and told the reason.
"Haha! I have to say, you are the one who put away Lao Fan's thoughts in just a few words!"
Peng Yue smiled and made an admiring gesture towards him.
"You said... when the war is over, a meal of elephant meat will be surprisingly delicious. How can you explain it?"
"Is there any explanation? I just analyzed it according to common sense, and I just said that it probably doesn't taste good, but I didn't say that it must taste bad!"
Meng Yun shook his head and said with a sly smile.
"Hey! You really are a kid!"
"That's...!"
After a few people chatted for a while, they each took their own people and started searching in the city lord's mansion.
As long as there is a place where people can hide, they will not be left alone.
Even the pile of firewood was spread out and rummaged through carefully, for fear of missing any part!
Just after noon, the city lord's mansion was turned upside down, and everything that needed to be found and the people that needed to be arrested were found out!
At the same time, the pots of horse meat are almost done!
Some of the soldiers were holding small daggers and cutting the horse flesh piece by piece.
Some of them were generous and voracious, so they just picked up the horse's leg and started chewing it!
"Such fresh horse meat, it would be great if it could be paired with some strong wine!"
"Are you overthinking it? We are on an expedition, are we drunk and waiting for the enemy to attack us?"
"Haha! I just said that, why do you still take it seriously?"
"I want to drink! Let's wait for the victory. Then there will be good wine and good food, and you can eat whatever you want...!"
Chapter completed!
