Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Simply put, this can be understood as an animal version of Huaxia Chariot.

Zhao Kuo couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene. For Zhao Kuo, the magical arms of elephant soldiers really only existed in legends.

Although it is said that the south of the Yangtze River in China in this era is actually full of elephants, the problem is that the south of the Yangtze River is basically a place where Baiyue is satisfied, and there is no decent country at all, so naturally it is not It may have created an elephant army like the Maurya Dynasty.

In fact, this elephant army will not be summoned. I feel how difficult it is to solve. In fact, it can be done with a few grenades.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Kuo can watch this battle with a very relaxed attitude.

The elephant's rampage did cause a lot of trouble to the soldiers of the Great Korea. The pikemen who rushed to the front row had no way to resist the impact of the elephant.

In a short period of time, the pikemen who rushed to the front were trampled to death and injured a lot by elephants. The formation of the Han army seemed to have become a little chaotic.

This scene fell in the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the Maurya Dynasty, which naturally gave them a little more confidence in victory.

"It seems that this so-called Great Han Kingdom is nothing more than that. There is no way to deal with our elephant soldiers. They are doomed to fail in this battle with us, or even perish."

"I have already said that we are the only ones who are blessed by the Buddha. Those who are not blessed by the Buddha are all sinners destined to go to hell."

"After today's war is over, we can launch a full-scale campaign to drive these guys from the East back to their hometown."

After hearing the words of these courtiers, the expression on Ashoka's face did not relax in any way. He was still sitting there so calmly, watching the continuation of the war.

As an excellent commander, Ashoka had an intuition that the Han Kingdom could not be defeated so easily by a few elephants.

Sure enough, what happened next really made Ashoka look surprised.

In a burst of screams, an elephant suddenly fell down.

This scene immediately attracted the attention of all the people from the Maurya Dynasty. Many ministers couldn't help standing up, shocked, and shouted.

"What's going on here, the Buddha's envoy actually fell down?"

"Those pagans from hell were able to defeat our Buddha's envoy?"

In the shock of everyone, Ashoka's brows gradually relaxed.

Although Ashoka didn't know why the soldiers and horses of the Great Khanate were able to repel and kill an elephant, Ayang clearly felt that this was a powerful imperial army that could defeat and destroy the Seleucid Empire The strength that should be exerted.

King Ashoka couldn't see it clearly because it was too far away. As the third prince who was the direct commander of the combat troops of the Mauryan Dynasty, he could clearly see what happened.

In fact, this matter is very simple to say, that is, the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty on the opposite side relied on their superiority in numbers, and after surrounding the elephant, they directly stabbed the elephant to death with their spears.

Ordinary weapons are actually difficult to penetrate the rough and thick skin of an elephant, but the army of the Han Dynasty uses fine steel weapons, which are better than ordinary iron weapons, which are somewhat close to those of later generations. Sharp weapons of steel.

One or two blows of this weapon may not cause much trouble, at best it can only cause a slight injury to the elephant, but more times will always have an effect.

So it is so simple for the soldiers of the Han Kingdom to deal with the elephants purely by killing people.

Thinking of this, the third prince couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and subconsciously looked at the army commander opposite.

He knew very well that this order was issued by the army commander of the Great Han Kingdom. This guy was really cruel to his subordinates, and he could think of using such a method to deal with the elephant.

With the fall of the first elephant, the morale of the soldiers of the Great Han Kingdom has improved a lot, so soon the second, third and fourth elephants fell one after another, and each one was better than the last one. The time to fall is even shorter.

After seeing this scene, the third prince finally completely gave up his plan to repel the 5000 soldiers and horses in front of the Han Kingdom simply through the impact of elephants. He issued the second, and it can be said to be the last order .

"All the soldiers and horses are on the ground, let's fight with them!"

This time the battle has reached this point, since both sides are facing each other in the plain, fighting face to face, so the third prince actually doesn't have too many tricks to use, he can only say that he just rushed up, and then Let's compare the real level of hand-to-hand combat between the two sides with these soldiers of the Han Dynasty.

After saying this, the third prince also drove the elephants under his command and rushed towards the opponent's position.

This time the third prince did not intend to lose, because he had already realized very clearly that the opponent did not have the kind of musket weapon that made him terrified.

No matter what the reason was, the Korean army did not take out their muskets. Anyway, the third prince felt that as long as he could win the battle, he would not agree to be the loser.

So he adopted the most inspiring method, which was to charge directly as the chief general.

In a team, when they see that the main general can charge forward, the soldiers at the bottom will be greatly motivated, and they will be more willing to fight desperately.

When Zhao Kuo saw this scene, he couldn't help but nodded slightly, and asked many Han generals around him: "Do you know who the guy in charge of the opposite is?"

Mao Sui, the Minister of Intelligence standing beside Zhao Kuo, answered.

"Returning to Your Majesty, judging by his age and the pattern of his flag, the person opposite should be the third prince from the Maurya Dynasty. At present, he is said to be the most admired prince by King Ashoka."

Zhao Kuo nodded slightly and said, "It turns out that this is the man. No wonder his father appreciates him. Just judging from his military command ability, he is indeed remarkable."

Don't underestimate Zhao Kuo's comments, you have to know who Zhao Kuo is, he is the most war-fighting person on the planet right now, it is very, very rare for Zhao Kuo to say that he is remarkable Kudos to it.

Having said that, Zhao Kuo is still very calm.

In the process of Zhao Kuo perishing all countries, he met countless heroes, but these heroes were all defeated by Zhao Kuo in the end.

This third prince may also be a talent, but compared with those top Chinese heroes that Zhao Kuo had defeated, he is actually still a lot worse.

What Zhao Kuo is looking forward to more is, what decision will the army commander under his command make under such circumstances?

The decision made as the head of the legion in the next moment was seen by everyone.

This decision is actually the same as the decision made by the third prince, that is to drive the chariot directly into the battlefield.

When the main generals of both sides choose to charge forward, the real hand-to-hand combat level of the two sides will determine the outcome.

The armies on both sides strangled fiercely.

The spear kept piercing, the big shield kept blocking, the big knife kept chopping down, and the long sword kept slashing.

Under such circumstances, the entire battle became abnormally bloody stumps and broken arms flying in the air. Even if you watched from a distance, you would be a little horrified by the tragedy of this battle.

Whether it was the Han Kingdom or the Peacock Dynasty, everyone was immersed in this battle, and they were all very worried about the lives of their soldiers.

The number of soldiers on both sides is constantly decreasing, and the core of the battle is gradually concentrated around the two generals.

Anyone can see that if the fight continues, one of the main generals will die in battle, and then the winner can be truly determined.

At this time, Ashoka sighed, and said slowly: "There is no need to fight any more, blow our horn and let our soldiers come back."

Ashoka didn't dare to gamble, because Ashoka saw that the opponent should be just an ordinary general, but Ashoka sent out his most beloved third prince.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Ashoka to allow the third prince to fight an ordinary general, so he took the initiative to back down.

The sound of the whining horn reached the third prince's ears, which made him completely plunged into the thought of fighting, which soon subsided.

The third prince sat on the elephant, stared at the army commander of the Great Han Kingdom opposite, and said somewhat dissatisfied: "If it wasn't because of my father's kindness, then you must be the one who died today."

After hearing the words of the third prince, the legion commander on the opposite side couldn't help laughing. Compared with the third prince, this legion commander's body was covered with blood, but it was basically the blood of the soldiers of the Peacock Dynasty .

"I can guarantee that if one day we meet on the battlefield with real swords and guns, the only ending will be that I step over your corpse."

As I said before, the Seleucid Empire and the Mauryan Dynasty were long-standing enemies, so the communication between the two of them didn't even need a translator.

The third prince retreated very unconvinced. Anyway, since Ashoka blew the horn to retreat this time, it meant that the Maurya Dynasty had lost the war.

On the other side, the bloody legion commander also returned to the position of the Han Kingdom.

Zhao Kuo walked up to the army commander in person, knotted the saber around his waist and put it in the army leader's hand.

This scene surprised everyone, and everyone understood that this meant that Zhao Kuo highly recognized the army commander.

The legion commander was even more excited, and he knelt on the ground with a plop and said in a relatively blunt manner: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Kuo laughed and patted the shoulder of the head of the army, completely ignoring that there was still undried blood on it.

"You are a warrior of our Great Han Kingdom, and all the soldiers under your command are warriors of our Great Han Kingdom.

Go back and rest well, in the future I will rely on you to help me pacify more places! "

Chapter 1271 Zhao Qian's Return

In this way, the third prince returned to the army of the Maurya Dynasty.

When they came back, many people looked at the Third Prince with admiration on their faces.

Although it was said that Ashoka had given an order to stop the battle, everyone knew that if the battle continued, the third prince still had hope of winning.

Of course, this also means that if he fails, he will definitely die.

It's just that dying in this world is commonplace for many people. If death can be used to win glory, many people are willing to do so.

Ashoka obviously thought the same way, he came to the third prince himself, and patted the son on the shoulder.

"You did a good job, this time it's not your failure, but I don't want you to lose your life in this kind of place."

Being able to get the affirmation of his own father undoubtedly made the third prince very excited. He knelt down in front of King Ashoka with a plop, and said firmly: "Don't worry, as long as I am here, I will never let these enemies be defeated. Our army, victory will surely belong to our Mauryan Dynasty.”

There is no doubt that the third prince has made a big splash today, even in terms of losses, the Maurya Dynasty actually has more losses than the Han Kingdom.

You must know that there are more than 10 elephants alone, and they were only killed in this battle, and the remaining few were all injured. Not only that, but also a large number of soldiers were killed by the Han Kingdom in this battle. was killed by the army of the Han Dynasty, and the army of the Han Kingdom suffered the most casualties when it was actually fighting against the elephant soldiers.

But generally speaking, in terms of the results, both parties in the decisive battle are actually quite satisfied, because they all derived a conclusion from this result, that is, their own side should be able to win the final victory of this war.

Now that both sides have reached the same conclusion, it is natural that a decisive battle will be held immediately.

Later that day, Zhao Kuo sent envoys to King Ashoka's camp, agreeing to win or lose after three days.

Ashoka looked at the Han Dynasty envoy in front of him, and suddenly asked a question.

"Do you think you're going to fail?

You have to know that we are blessed by the power of Buddha. "

The envoy of the Great Han Kingdom showed a smile after hearing these words, and gave an answer almost without thinking.

"Your Majesty, maybe you have the blessing of the Buddha, but don't forget that we also have our own gods. In this battle between gods, you may not be able to win, right?"

After listening to the words of the envoy of the Great Han Kingdom, Ashoka nodded, also expressing his agreement.

"Go back and tell your emperor, if I capture him in this war, then his life will not be in danger."

Regarding Ashoka's self-confidence, the envoy of the Han Dynasty could only answer the same thing after thinking about it.

"If the Maurya Dynasty is destroyed by our Great Han Kingdom, I believe that our emperor will spare your life."

The verbal confrontation ended in this way, and Ashoka agreed to Zhao Kuo's request for a decisive battle, and the time was set in three days according to Zhao Kuo's statement.

After getting the reward, Zhao Kuo also smiled very happily, and said to all the generals in front of him: "Although I think we will win this time, I really hope that you can still be vigilant, because until now So far, we haven't really won yet.

After we have completely defeated and wiped out this country, we can celebrate victory freely at that time, do you understand what I mean? "

To put it bluntly, Zhao Kuo is actually doing one thing, which is to plan for a rainy day. After all, this kind of war is actually quite difficult for him to say. It doesn't mean that you must have advanced weapons and you will be able to win 100% of the time.

There is a saying that is very good, arrogant soldiers must be defeated, Zhao Kuo now hopes that his soldiers can understand this matter.

Facing Zhao Kuo's lecture, naturally everyone responded in unison.

Then all the generals of the Han Dynasty began to prepare for the war.

It was at this time that he came from the east and set foot on the territory of the Korean peninsula alone.

This person is none other than Prince Zhao Qian who returned to the Central Plains after receiving the news.

Why is Zhao Qian's comeback so late?

This is mainly because the early signing and receiving of the news was relatively late, and in addition, he still has some matters that need to be resolved here in Foshan.

For Zhao Qian, he originally planned to stay in Fusang for several years. With this kind of thinking, he was not in such a hurry to do anything, and he did it step by step.

But the problem is that Zhao Qian did not expect that Zhao Kuo would suddenly choose to go to the Maurya Dynasty, and because of this reason, Zhao Qian was asked to return to the Central Plains.

Zhao Kuo's order was immediately disrupted. Zhao Xiansuo had some preparations for him to return early, so he had to make some preparations in advance to prevent the measures he had taken from failing after he left.

Looking at the territory of the Korean Peninsula in front of him, Zhao Qian was filled with emotion.

"I didn't expect that in just a few short years, this place has gathered such a high popularity."

Zhao Qian landed at Busan Port on the Korean Peninsula. If we look at the distance, it should be closer to crossing the Yellow Sea. However, the photo is of the prince of the Han Kingdom after all. His safety depends on the fact that Zhao Kuo has already set off. The situation is very important, so there is already an army of 5000 people waiting for Zhao Qian here. They will directly escort Zhao Qian along the land road until he returns to the imperial capital.

The Busan Port in front of this photo can be said to be very lively, because this is the land part of Dahan Kingdom closest to the four islands of Fusang, so it is very easy to communicate with Fusang here, and a large number of businessmen from Fusang The goods are shipped here, and then continue to be shipped from here as a transfer point to the inland parts of the Han Kingdom.

Since Zhao Kuo conquered this place relatively early, it is said that there are basically some aborigines here. These aborigines were basically killed during the conquest at that time, and the rest were all regarded as big men. The slaves of the country, these natives are basically not seen in this city now, all of them are immigrants from the Han country.

Since the Chinese people have always been a farming civilization and farming civilization, the most basic requirement is diligence. If you are not diligent, then there may be nothing to eat all year round, and you will be starved to death in winter, so Under the survival of the fittest from generation to generation, the gene of diligence has been passed down in the blood of the Chinese people in the Han Kingdom.

This kind of gene is also perfectly reflected in the Busan Port in front of people. Today, it is already a port city of quite a large scale. Speaking of the embryonic form of the city, he absolutely couldn't believe it. In just a few short years, a city can change so much from scratch.

On the pier, there was already a group of officials waiting for Zhao Qian. After seeing Zhao Qian, they rushed up and saluted the Crown Prince of the Great Han Kingdom.

His Highness the Crown Prince is the future Emperor of the Great Han Kingdom. Everyone hopes to report his thigh before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually ascends the throne.

It's just that Zhao Qian obviously didn't give these officials this chance, he just had a formulaic smile here, casually chatted with these officials in front of him, and then appeared Among the prepared mansions.

On the next 2 days, Zhao Qian started to go all the way north under the escort of 5000 Musketeers.

The topography of the Korean peninsula is high in the east and low in the west. In the east, there are basically mountains created by the extension of the Changbai Mountains. In the west, there are even some plains. Zhao Qian took it for granted this time to follow these plains all the way. .
