Haolat City Lord's Mansion:

"Generals, we have just annihilated the nearly 100,000 Parthian troops who invaded, and the 100,000 Parthian soldiers were basically captured.

However, the problem we are facing has not yet been solved. In the past two days, the Mauryan Empire has more than 300,000 troops.

We have already accelerated our speed. We are only two hundred miles away from Haolat City. We can reach Haolat City in at most two days.

This time the Peacock Empire's army reached more than 300,000, including 250,000 combat soldiers, which was more than eight times that of our Xiakou army.

In addition, the Peacock Army has hundreds of war elephants and 50,000 cavalry, which is difficult to deal with! Let's discuss how we can repel the Peacock Army."

Xu Shu said.

If the Peacock Army hadn't wanted the Central Plains Army to engage in a decisive battle with the Parthian Army, the Peacock Army would have taken advantage and would have reached the outskirts of Haolat City.

"General Xu, we cannot compare with the Mauryan Empire's army in terms of military strength. Once the Mauryan Empire's army is released to surround the city,

The situation is not optimistic. I feel that I must attack and first consume the strength of the Peacock Army in the wild.

Reduce the opponent's spirit. Especially the war elephant soldiers, once they are sent in to attack the city, the situation will be very bad.

If there is a chance to solve it in the wild, that is the best choice."

Cao Rendao.

"Yes! General Zixiao is right. Putting an army of 300,000 peacocks to surround the city is indeed very detrimental to us.

Find a way to solve it in the wild, especially if the war elephant is not allowed to attack the city. In a war of attrition, we cannot resist the opponent."

Ma Chao said.

Xu Shu nodded.

"Generals, since we are united in thinking, we can make a good plan to fight the Mauryan Empire army in the wild."

Xu Shu said.

"General Xu, since we have a battle plan, let us all listen to it. Why bother with it?"

Cao Hongdao.

"This is what I, the general, think. The Peacock Empire dispatched 300,000 troops and must have investigated the situation in Haolat City.

We can't hide how many troops we have from the Mauryan Empire's spies. No matter how much we hide it, it won't be of much use.

Since the Mauryan Empire knew the situation, it must have miscalculated that we did not dare to go out to fight in the city and would defend the city.

We definitely didn’t expect that our Xiakou Army would go against the channel and fight out of the city. Seize the opportunity of being looked down upon by the Mauryan Empire’s army,

The peacocks were caught off guard outside the city. Now we have to formulate a battle plan and what plan is feasible."

Xu Shu said.

"General, we do not have an advantage in terms of strength, so we can only use sneak attacks at night. After all, the Peacock Army

I would never have dreamed that we would go out to fight in the city. Now that we are two hundred miles away, we can consider fighting fifty miles away.

According to the Lord, war elephants are afraid of fire. We can use the cover of darkness at night to send soldiers to lurk in the Peacock Army camp.

Untie the rope of the war elephant quietly, and then find a way to set fire to the camp. Let the war elephant attack the barracks of the Mauryan Empire army,

It will definitely cause huge casualties to the Peacock Army. Under this premise, our Xiakou Cavalry Division will rush into the camp again and make a good mess."

Ma Chao said.

"Since war elephants are to be unleashed, why not also unleash the war horses of fifty thousand cavalrymen? By then there will be hundreds of war elephants.

With the addition of 50,000 war horses, it is definitely a very happy thing to charge into the Peacock Army barracks."

Cao Rendao.

Several generals sat together, you said something, I said something, and soon the entire battle plan was presented.

…

Peacock Empire Central Army:

"Reporting to General Ajamila, the battle between the Parthian Empire army and the Lysians has ended, and they have not been defeated or injured.

The Parthian Empire army was harassed by the Lysians at night and could not sleep peacefully. They were attacked by the Lysians and annihilated the Parthian Empire army in one fell swoop."

Send orders to soldiers.

General Ajamila was slightly startled!

It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and the result of the battle between Anxi and the Lysians was completely unexpected.

Originally I wanted to take advantage of it, but when the war between the two countries was exhausted, the Mauryan Empire's army moved out again.

Steal the chicken but lose the rice!

Missed the opportunity to contain the Lysians, and had the opportunity to attack the Lysians immediately.

"Didn't the Parthians cause difficulties to the Lysians? Even if the sneak attack is successful, the Lysians are not superior in terms of military strength, so the losses must be huge!"

Ajamila said.

"General, I can't figure this out for now. After the battle, the Lysians buried the dead bodies.

Our men do not dare to get close to reconnaissance. If we want to find out the situation, we will have to wait a few days to figure it out."

Send orders to soldiers.

"Immediately let the spies figure out how many troops and horses were consumed in the decisive battle between the Parthians and the Lysians.

How many Lisian soldiers and horses are there in Haolat City now? These information must be clarified and there must be no mistakes."

Ajamila said.

"As you command!"

Send orders to soldiers.

"General Ajamila, the battle between the Lysians and the Parthians has been won. The war is over. Should our army speed up its march?"

an adjutant asked.

General Ajamila shook his head.

"Let Tan Ma figure out the situation of the Lysians first. Once the situation is clear, it won't be too late for us to speed up the march."

General Ajamila said.

"General, in fact, you don't need to pay attention to the situation of the Lysians. In terms of military strength, our Maurya Empire has the upper hand.

Just lead the army to push forward and completely surround Haolat City. To prevent the Lis people from escaping from the city, it is best to do it all in one go."

A Mauryan Empire general said.

"Yes, General, the Lysians have only 30,000 troops in Horat City. The reason why they defeated the Parthian Army is

It was purely a sneak attack. Now that we have dispatched 250,000 regular soldiers, the Lisians must not dare to carry out a sneak attack."

Another general said.

Hahaha!

General Ajamila was so flattered by several generals under his command that he suddenly became elated and beamed with smiles.

"Everyone, even though the Lysians are very weak, we still need to figure out the situation in Horat City. Once the situation is clear, it won't be too late to send troops."

General Ajamila said.

…

The people of the Maurya Empire would never have dreamed that at this time, more than ten men in black had lurked in the military camp.

The men in black are the scouts of the Xiakou Cavalry Division. Before the Xiakou army is dispatched, they must find out the Peacock camp.

Be targeted.

Find out where the war elephants of the Mauryan Empire are, where the war horses are, what defenses they have, etc.

Haolat City Lord's Mansion:

Boom, boom, boom!

"Come in."

Xu Shu said.

"Report to General Xu that the location of the Mauryan Empire's army has been clarified, as well as the positions of the war elephants and war horses.

However, the Peacock Empire's army is very well-defended, and there are thousands of Peacock soldiers on duty, making it inconvenient to cause trouble."

Send orders to soldiers.

oh!

"Are those thousands of peacock soldiers on duty really patrolling all the time?"

Xu Shu said.

"General, our scouts will observe in detail. When it is almost dawn, the patrolling soldiers will sit down and rest in the backyard of the camp. However, it is really difficult to send a large number of soldiers into the backyard of Peacock Barracks."
