Chapter 732 Attack on Fahrenheit City
After finding a solution to the locust plague, fried locusts became the staple food and snacks of the Qin army.
As long as you want to eat it, you can eat it anytime and anywhere!
Not only did they eat it, but the captives also had to eat it with them!
At first they were very resistant, but apart from fried locusts, they were never given anything else to eat.
They feel so hungry that they have to eat even if they don’t want to!
Anyway, the Locust God was angered, and it was the Qin army who suffered revenge!
After figuring this out, the prisoners began to eat hard!
Six hundred thousand people move together, and the daily consumption of locusts is huge!
About seven or eight days later, either because there was nothing to eat in Nalanda City or because they were afraid of being eaten by the soldiers, all the locusts flew away!
"Oh! What a pity! It was so good, why did it fly away?"
After the locusts flew away, Fan Kuai still pursed his lips, feeling very regretful.
"Humph! They are smart. If they don't leave, they will have no descendants!"
Wang Li snorted coldly and said with a smile.
"No! It's very difficult to catch locusts these days. It takes a long time to catch enough for a meal! If two more days pass, even if the entire army is dispatched, it won't be enough to catch them for a whole day!"
Peng Yue also nodded repeatedly.
"His Royal Highness's method is better. In a few days, the locust plague will be solved, and at the same time, we will be able to satisfy our hunger...!"
With no more obstacles, Han Xin was relieved and said, "Give me the order to assemble the army immediately and prepare to go to Huashi City!"
Huashi City was the royal city of the Mauryan Dynasty, and their ruler, King Jala, lived in it.
According to reports from the scouts sent out, there are still about 100,000 troops in Fahrenheit City. Once they are dealt with, Fahrenheit City will be finished!
Even if there are remaining troops in other cities, they are less than 10,000, so you can treat them as if they don't exist!
"yes!"
Wang Li and others accepted the order and immediately went to assemble the army.
A part of the army was divided to guard the prisoners and guard the city of Nalanda to prevent the prisoners from rebelling!
Another part of them followed Cao Shen and went to the beach to get supplies!
In the end, Han Xin led an army of 200,000 people to Huashi City!
…
In Huashi City, King Jialuo's body has almost recovered, and he is furious in the palace!
"Where are the people? Where have they gone?"
"I sent so many envoys out, why didn't any of them come back?"
"How far is the distance between Huashi City and Nalanda? Two days is enough for one trip. Seven days have passed, why is there still no movement at all? Could it be that Chengdu died in the Qin army camp?"
King Jia Luo was so angry that he smashed everything he could throw in front of him.
When Nalanda City encountered a locust plague, he placed all his hopes on those envoys and even agreed to give up the four cities as long as the Qin army agreed to withdraw!
Unexpectedly, these envoys would never return!
During this period, he also sent people to Nalanda City to question him, but the answer he got was that he had already driven away the envoy!
But he hasn't seen any sign of the envoy until now!
"Your Majesty... it's not good! The general has already visited the envoys' homes. No one is there. It seems they have run away!"
At this moment, a soldier he sent came to report.
"What?"
This reply was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him.
No need to ask, you know that the Qin army must have not agreed to their request, and the envoy was worried that he would not be able to deliver the mission, so he quietly escaped with his family!
"Report..."
"Your Majesty, the Qin army is coming towards us!"
Before he could recover from the last bad news, another bad news came one after another.
"What? The Qin army is coming? Could it be that they have already gotten rid of the locust army?"
The few remaining officials in the hall suddenly changed their expressions, grabbing the lapels of the soldiers who came to report the news and questioning them.
"Ahem... no... I don't know!"
The soldier was so choked that he couldn't breathe, and his originally dark complexion had now turned black and red, like a pig's liver.
"Your Majesty, we only have 100,000 troops left in the city, and we cannot resist the Qin army at all!"
The remaining people in the hall suddenly started wailing.
By now, they have understood the strength of the Qin army, which is simply not something that the Maurya Dynasty can stop.
Not only the Maurya Dynasty, I believe that no country in the world can stop the great Qin!
"You must block it even if you can't! You...you...and you...you...all go out to fight. You must keep the Qin army out of the city!"
King Jialuo seemed to be crazy and commanded the few people left in the palace.
"Your Majesty, we...we...?"
The remaining people in the hall were all civil servants, and the only military commander was the most disliked one.
As long as all the generals who can take action have been sent out in the previous battles, it is not an exaggeration to say that the remaining people are powerless!
If you let them go out to defend the enemy, isn't that the same as letting them die?
"Go! Go quickly! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
King Jialuo issued a death order, and the few remaining ministers in the hall did not dare to say anything. They had no choice but to walk out of the hall angrily and summon all the soldiers and horses in the city.
…
"General Han, don't tell me, this royal city is just different!"
The Qin army galloped all the way and arrived at Huashi City before dark.
Peng Yue, Fan Kuai, Yingbu and others looked up at the majestic royal city in front of them and sighed!
"Of course. It is said that the city wall is composed of 570 towers and 67 gates. There is a wide moat outside the city, and various exotic flowers and plants and towering ancient trees are planted in the city. In addition,
In addition, there are many kinds of peacocks raised in the palace, hence the name Maurya Dynasty!"
Han Xin looked at the magnificent royal city in front of him with a look of surprise.
"Oh! That's it! No wonder it's called the Maurya Dynasty!"
After hearing this, Peng Yue showed an expression as if he had suddenly realized something.
"This royal city is majestic and magnificent, and it is full of exotic flowers and plants. Isn't it a bit wasteful for us to bombard it like this?"
"Yeah! It's true! If His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come to such a beautiful place, they will definitely like it!"
"Yes! How about keeping him?"
Wang Li, Fan Kuai and others looked at the magnificent building in front of them, and imagined the beautiful scenery inside through Han Xin's words, and suddenly felt that it would be a pity to blow it up.
"General Han, what do you think?"
After all, they are not the head coach, and Han Xin still has to make the final decision.
"Yeah! That makes sense!"
Coincidentally, Han Xin also felt the same way.
"Then we don't need artillery attack!"
After reaching an agreement, Wang Li and others seemed very excited.
"General, if we don't use artillery to attack, then what attack should we use?"
The soldiers behind them scratched their heads and asked.
"Is it possible that we, the great Qin Dynasty, can't attack the city without artillery?"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately stared at by Wang Li and others.
Chapter completed!
