The giant elephant of the Mauryan Dynasty was simply an invincible monster. The defensive front of the Han army that could withstand the impact of the war cavalry waves was actually scattered by the giant elephant army as if it were paper-filled!

The giant elephant broke through the formation and began to kill wildly. Even the elite Han army could not resist the attack of the giant feet and fangs, and fell one by one in a pool of blood!

The peacock soldiers sitting high on the elephant's back fired arrows at their current opponents, and the arrows flew out, and there were always Han soldiers falling on the spot!

Facing the terrifying battle elephant of the opponent, the Han army used various means to counterattack, chopping and stabbing with long swords and spears. However, facing the tall giant elephant as a city, all these counterattacks were ineffective.

Seeing that the Han army could not resist, the Allied forces were frightened. The Kushan army fled first. After a while, the entire Allied forces were defeated!

Seeing that the Allies had collapsed, Ma Dai felt that the Imperial Army under his command was really hard to support, so he had to order the entire army to retreat.

The Han army broke away from the battle and rushed towards the fortress.

The giant elephant troops chased the opponent until outside the city gate. At this time, the peacock officers and soldiers sent huge cheers that seemed to be victory.

The Han army and the Allies retreated into the fortress and quickly arranged defenses.

Ma Dai quickly climbed to the top of the city and looked at the enemy troops outside the city.

Peacock Marshal Ram said to Princess Ashin: "Your Highness, our war elephant is powerful, but it cannot attack the city! What should we do next?"

Ashin was just a princess of the Mauryan Dynasty. How could she think of any way? She said angrily: "You are the Grand Marshal! Shouldn't you decide on how to attack?"

Ram said intimately: I knew you would say that.

But he said with a request for instructions: "Our army's war today has severely damaged the enemy, which has achieved its goal. It is better to stop the attack for the time being, set up the camp first, let the officers and soldiers take a good rest and then attack with all their strength!"

Princess Ashin felt that what Ram said made sense, so she nodded and said, "Okay. Just do it like that."

Ram immediately issued an order, ordering the troops to retreat for several miles and set up camps according to the mountain situation.

As night fell, Ma Dai, who was standing on the fortress wall, looked at the overwhelming, brightly lit and noisy camp outside, frowned tightly.

A general quickly walked behind Ma Dai, clasped his fists and said, "General, the number of casualties has been roughly counted. The total number of casualties in our army is more than 1,200..."

Ma Dai was shocked and couldn't help asking, "So much?"

The general nodded and said, "It was all casualties in the hands of the opponent's war elephant troops when they attacked..."

Ma Dai nodded and frowned, "I heard that the giant elephants of the Mauryan Dynasty were so powerful before. I didn't feel anything at that time. When I saw it today, I realized that this kind of war elephant army was simply not something that humans could fight against!"

He looked at the general and asked, "What is the loss of all the Allied troops?"

The general said: "The losses are quite large. Most of them are casualties at the hands of the opponent's war elephant troops."

An officer came hurriedly and clasped his fists and said, "Report to General, Your Majesty is here with all the generals and the imperial concubine!"

Ma Dai was surprised and hurriedly ordered someone to notify all the Allied commanders.

Not long after, Ma Dai led a group of Allied commanders out of the city gate behind the fortress to greet Liu Xian.

After a while, a soldier came over. When they came to the front, they saw Liu Xian and immediately bowed: "Greetings to Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!" In an instant, a large area of ​​darkness fell on Liu Xian.

Liu Xian sang: "You don't have to be too polite! Get up!"

Everyone stood up. The Kushan King suddenly saw the three peerless beauties following Liu Xian, and was stunned on the spot, and then his eyes showed a strong desire. At this time, a group of Wusun generals bowed to Aimu.

Ma Dai clasped his fists at Liu Xian and said, "I don't know if Your Majesty is here, I will be in a hurry to welcome you. Please forgive me!"

Liu Xian smiled and said, "It's us that we came suddenly, you don't have to blame yourself."

Ma Dai asked, "I will lead Your Majesty into the city at the end!"

Liu Xian nodded.

Ma Dai immediately stepped on his mount and walked a little behind next to Liu Xian to lead the way for Liu Xian, while other Allied generals followed behind.

The group entered the fortress, and officers and soldiers of all races along the way saluted Liu Xian one after another.

Liu Xian said to Ma Dai: "I received a report saying that you had a battle with the Peacock Army not long ago?"

Ma Dai nodded and said, "With the power of hundreds of artillery, our army once had the upper hand.

However, when the general attacked, he encountered the opponent's war elephant army. He suffered a considerable loss and was defeated for a while...." Speaking of this, Ma Dai seemed very depressed.

Liu Xian looked thoughtful and asked, "I heard from Wenhe that the war elephants of the Mauryan Dynasty are completely different from the Southern Barbarian elephants we have encountered before. They are not afraid of fire or loud noises, and are extremely difficult to deal with. Is this really the case?"

Ma Dai nodded and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty is wise! When our army's artillery bombarded the enemy, the enemy's war elephant was close to the side, but was unmoved at all! If it were the Southern Barbarians' war elephant, I would have been running long ago!"

The group came to the fortress's capital hall. Liu Xian walked to the throne and sat down. Everyone gave a formal greeting. After the ceremony, they stood on both sides of the hall.

The Kushan King came out and saluted to Liu Xian and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that to defeat the Mauryan Dynasty, more troops must be mobilized, otherwise this war will be difficult to succeed!"

Liu Xian smiled without saying a word.

Wusun General Mangke couldn't help but say angrily: "King Kushan, you are not qualified to ask His Majesty for your identity!"

The Kushan King was very angry, but he did not dare to refute. He quickly clasped his fists at Liu Xian and said, "I dare not make any requests! I am just anxious...!"

Liu Xian smiled and said, "I can understand your mood. But since you are already a member of the Iron Blood Alliance, I will naturally help you restore your country!"

The Kushan King hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" He stood up and returned to his position.

Liu Xian got up, glanced at everyone, and said to the Allied leaders: "It's getting late, everyone can go down and rest."

A group of Allied leaders bowed and left the hall.

Ma Dai and Mangke did not leave and remained in the hall waiting for their orders.

Liu Xian walked between the two and asked, "What do you think of the army of the Mauryan Dynasty?"

Mangke clasped his fists and said, "It's almost the same as the ordinary Western Army, but it's far worse than the imperial heavenly soldiers! But their war elephants are so powerful! No one can stop them! Under the trampling of those terrifying giant elephants, no line of defense can resist!"
