"Damn, after being here in Maurya for so many days, they are finally willing to come up with something real!"

After hearing the report from the scouts that the Maurya Dynasty sent ten thousand elephants and five hundred thousand soldiers, Wang Li, Peng Yue and others suddenly grinned.

"Yes! I wonder if the elephant army is really like the legend, with a body like a hill, ears like cattail leaf fans, and four legs like pillars!"

"No matter what he does, as long as we win this battle, we will have won more than half of it this time!"

"Yes! Defeat their main force, capture their king, and then go to other cities. It would be strange if the generals didn't just catch them, haha...!"

The few people talked more and more enthusiastically, and finally started laughing.

"I'm happy, but still..."

"It's better not to take it lightly. The lives of the soldiers must be guaranteed, right?"

Han Xin was sitting at the main seat, looking at the happy faces of several people. He was afraid of any accidents and was ready to give a warning.

But they had just finished speaking half of the sentence when Wang Li and others continued the second half with a smile.

It was exactly what he was going to say, not even a single word was wrong!

"Hahaha! It's good that you know!"

This wave of operations directly made Han Xin laugh.

Apparently, he kept saying this along the way, so that as soon as he opened his mouth, several guys knew what he was going to say!

"Don't worry, General Han. We remind ourselves all the time!"

"Yes! The injured brothers have stayed in Jilingjia City to recover from their injuries. We will come back to join them after we take over the entire Mauryan Dynasty. By then, their injuries will probably be healed and they will return to Xianyang with us!"

Even though they are all rough guys, they treat the soldiers under their command the same as they treat their relatives.

They landed from Kalinga, went around the Maurya Empire, and finally returned there to pick up the injured soldiers, so they could board the ship together and return!

"Well! Okay, as long as you have an idea!"

Han Xin smiled and nodded, feeling relieved.

The Qin army moved very quickly. After clearing the city of Bodh Gaya, they marched towards Rajagaha.

It was not until they captured the entire city of Rajagaha and set off for Nalanda that the Mauryan Dynasty's half-million-strong army had just arrived at Nalanda City. The elephant army was even slower, and it would take at least a day to reach here.

Without the elephant army, the 500,000-strong army would not dare to move forward. They could only huddle in the city and wait for the elephant army!

The distance between Rajagaha and Nalanda is less than a hundred miles. If the Qin army wants to charge, it can be reached in a few hours.

"What should we do now? The Qin army has already set off for Nalanda. If we arrive before the elephant army, what should we do?"

Several generals and ministers sent by the Mauryan Dynasty sat together and discussed countermeasures with sad faces.

According to the previous combat effectiveness of the Qin army, an army of 500,000 was simply not enough for them to fight in one day, so they had to wait for the elephant army to arrive before the war could begin!

But the elephant army had to wait until at least the next morning to arrive.

According to the current marching speed of the Qin army, the army will approach the city at noon. They must think of a countermeasure now!

"The Elephant Army is the main force in this battle. Our army of 500,000 is no match for the Qin Army. We absolutely cannot resist the Qin Army!"

The veteran minister who escaped from Bodh Gaya said cautiously.

"No resistance? Could it be that the Qin army starts to attack the city, and we just sit in the city and wait to be killed?"

"No! If the Qin army attacks, we will be in more danger!"

"We can't attack or defend. Is it possible that we can still retreat?"

"That's right! Once the Qin army starts to attack the city, we really have to retreat! Only in this way can we fight together with the Xiang army and exert our greatest power!"

Facing the doubts of several other generals, the old man nodded.

"What? Retreat? If the king knows this, he will definitely be scolded again!"

The general immediately shook his head.

"Compared to the annihilation of the entire army, what is being scolded?"

The old man asked back.

"Forehead……"

The general was speechless.

"What do you think?"

Then the old man glanced at the other people present.

Several people did not speak and seemed to be thinking about it.

After a moment, he nodded slightly.

For the sake of safety, this is the only way to do it!

After discussing everything, everyone did not disperse. Instead, they immediately sent people to keep an eye on the movements of the Qin army and report them every once in a while!

Once you discover that the Qin army is moving to attack the city, retreat immediately!

However, the Qin army stopped moving forward after arriving ten miles outside Nalanda City.

"It's really strange that the Qin army has started to set up camp. Judging from their posture, they don't plan to attack the city today!"

After receiving the news, the generals and veterans sitting on the ground all showed expressions of disbelief.

"The Qin Army's behavior is really strange. It can't be a scam, right?"

"Well! It's very possible!"

"No! Send more people out to carefully investigate the Qin army's movements!"

The generals and ministers of the Maurya Dynasty were even more frightened when they discussed it.

He was afraid that Da Qin was trying to confuse them on the surface, but in fact he was trying to sneak attack while they were unprepared.

So we sent more people to investigate from all directions!

However, every time I report back, the result is the same.

Either eating, drinking, or digging holes to defecate, none of which is serious!

"Are you right?"

The more this happened to Great Qin, the more panicked the generals in Nalanda City became.

The army has already arrived at the city, but instead of continuing to attack the city, they are doing useless things!

"Explore again!"

In desperation, they could only let them continue to explore until the elephant army met them.

…

On the other side, the Qin army had enough to eat and drink, and rested in place.

Han Xin, Wang Li, Meng Yun and others also lay in the big tent to calm their stomachs!

"We marched all the way, and when we arrived at the foot of Nalanda City, we suddenly stopped attacking. I think everyone in the city was scared to death!"

"Haha! That's for sure. Didn't you listen to the reports from the soldiers? Almost every time someone burns incense, someone will come quietly to investigate!"

"Hmph! They are all long and black, and they turn into black shadows if they move at the slightest moment. Do you really think that the people under our command are blind and cannot detect them?"

"Not to mention, their looks do have a lot of benefits at night!"

"Quickly pull it down! I always thought that I was the darkest one, but when I got here, I realized that my special mother is much whiter than them! They are all black!"

"Ha ha……!"

As a few people were chatting, their style suddenly changed, and bursts of wild laughter spread out.

"The Elephant Army has really been dragging its feet, and it hasn't arrived yet!"

"Yes! What's the point of just attacking these 500,000 people? It's more fun to wait and catch them all!"

"Yes! Let those niggas wait in fear. Let's have a good sleep, recharge our batteries, and wait for tomorrow to have a big battle with them, haha...!"

The idea of ​​stationing outside the city was proposed by Han Xin, who hit it off with several others.

They were afraid that after the 500,000-strong army was dealt with, the elephant army would turn around and run away after receiving the news.

At that time, they will have to pursue further, which will be very troublesome!

It's better to give them some time, let their two armies join together, take the initiative to fight, and deal with them all at once!
Chapter completed!
