Chapter 262
"It's true that we can't fight recklessly, or should we continue to adopt the strategy of night attack?"
Zhong Limei, who was at the side, thought for a while, and made a suggestion.
"Night raids probably won't work, and the peacock people are not fools, so they must be prepared after suffering so many losses.
Now that our army has penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Maurya Dynasty, and there are enemies everywhere, it is impossible to continue setting up an ambush in advance.
Moreover, most of the god-arm crossbows in our army were taken away by Meng Duhu and Zhang Changshi, and now there are only [-] of them left. It is already impossible to cause damage to the rough-skinned and thick-skinned elephant soldiers. "
Zhou Bo hesitated for a moment, and then made an analysis.
"Who said that Ben was about to set up an ambush? This time we will have a head-to-head contest with the Maurya army, and destroy their last confidence in the first battle."
With a confident look on his face, Han Xin spoke calmly.
Zhou Bo, Zhong Limei, and Bo Cai all looked at each other with horror in their eyes.
On the other hand, Yang Zaixing, who was not afraid of anything, showed a look of excitement.
One hundred thousand light cavalry, confronting five thousand war elephants plus thirty thousand cavalry plus 20 thousand infantry regiments, has no chance of winning no matter how you look at it.
This Han Xin, couldn't be dazzled by the previous victory, right?
Although he has not been in contact with Han Xin for a long time, Bo Cai knows that General Han is by no means such an impulsive person.
That being the case, why did he issue such an order?
Could it be that he wants to get rid of Da Yuezhi?
You know, all the elites of their Da Yue Clan are here, if these [-] elite cavalry are destroyed, then the Da Yue Clan will be finished.
Thinking of this, Bo Cai's face suddenly became ugly.
Han Xin saw the change in Bo Cai's expression, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
He knew that the crown prince had always been on guard against the Da Yue clan, otherwise he and Zhang Liang would not have let him and Zhang Liang take over the command of the Da Yue clan's cavalry.
And what Han Xin has to do now is similar to what Po Lai guessed.
It's just that Han Xin didn't want to destroy the Da Yuezhi, but planned to take this opportunity to completely eliminate some discordant voices among the Da Yuezhi, and completely control the [-] cavalry of the Da Yuezhi.
No matter how good a subsidiary country is, it is still a subsidiary after all.
......
After receiving the news from the front line of the Maurya Dynasty, the Xianyang Chaotang immediately exploded.
"Han Xin underestimated the enemy, I'm afraid he will suffer a big loss this time! There are [-] war elephants and more than [-] troops! How can this be reckless?"
Zhao Tuo frowned.
In the history of the Central Plains Dynasty, there have been footprints of war elephants, and every time they appear, they can cause a huge sensation.
The main reason why they gradually withdrew from the battlefield was that the number of elephants in the Central Plains was too small.
If it cannot be formed on a large enough scale, it is easy to be instantly killed by crossbow arrows, heavy equipment, etc.
However, on the current front of the Maurya Dynasty, the opponent has assembled a total of [-] war elephants.
This number has caught up with the number of god arm crossbows on Daqin's side.
If a numerical advantage cannot be formed, even if the divine arm crossbow can kill some war elephants, it will not be able to change the entire battle situation.
Once a war elephant with a scale of [-] is charged, it will be an existence that will destroy the world.
Even the slightly less thick city walls couldn't stop the direct impact of the war elephant army.
Although there are hundreds of thousands of Da Yue's cavalry, it is difficult to cause damage to the rough-skinned and thick-skinned war elephants.
And before such a terrifying war elephant impact, how much strength the Da Yue Clan cavalry can exert is a big question mark.
What's more, behind the Maurya War Elephant Army, there are more than [-] cavalry infantry following the charge.
Although the general army of the Maurya Dynasty is far inferior to the cavalry of the Da Yue Clan, with the War Elephant Legion leading the way and the superiority in numbers, it is not a problem to fight with the wind.
If it were Zhao Tuo himself, he could only retreat first, using favorable terrain such as valleys to prevent the Zhanxiang Army from exerting its maximum power, and then try to break it.
In Zhao Tuo's view, Han Xin's confrontational behavior is completely an act of death.
"I mentioned before that although this Han Xin has read some military books and has some skills, he is still too young to be the leader of a party!
This has only won a few battles, and it has swelled to such an extent. "
"At the end of the day, it's best to quickly transfer Han Xin back and replace him with a seasoned and prudent general."
Seeing Zhao Tuo's swearing appearance, many officials also joined in.
Ying Yu glanced coldly at the court.
Those who questioned were basically officials with relatively low positions.
To put it bluntly, it is the key object of this official assessment and adjustment.
It seems that this group of people felt threatened and tried to put pressure on themselves in this way to change their minds before the official assessment was implemented.
I have to say, these people really have courage!
"Xianyang City is thousands of miles away from the Peacock Dynasty. It may be too late for a temporary general change!"
"Then what should we do? If the Da Yue Clan's cavalry is defeated, wouldn't it mean that our Da Qin majesty will be compromised?"
"Hey...even gods, they will inevitably make mistakes, and sometimes they will miss it!"
Seeing that Ying Yu was silent, the voices of the group suddenly became louder.
In their view, the reason why the prince remained silent was that even he himself was not optimistic about Han Xin.
Anyway, His Majesty will not punish people for their words, and what they said is not completely unreasonable.
Although Zhao Tuo was not as famous as Wang Ben and others, he was also a veteran general in the Great Qin Army. He followed Ren Xiao to pacify Baiyue, and he had rich combat experience.
Moreover, it is said that among Baiyue, there are also people who can drive war elephants, so Zhao Tuo would not be talking nonsense.
The War Elephant Legion is so powerful, so Han Xin still intends to head-to-head. This is obviously not an order that the leader of a party should issue.
Seeing the people discussing in the audience, Ying Zheng's face on the throne suddenly darkened.
He coughed lightly.
A group of officials who were still spitting all over immediately stopped discussing and lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.
However, their faces facing the ground were full of complacency.
In their view, His Majesty is just protecting the face of the crown prince.
But if it can be maintained for a while, can it be maintained for a lifetime?
As long as the news of Han Xin's defeat comes back, Ying Yu's reputation will inevitably be greatly affected.
When the time comes, these nobles will join hands to force Ying Yu to take back the official assessment, and it is not impossible.
Maybe, even the Tweet Order that made the nobles gnash their teeth can be canceled together.
As long as they can succeed, these nobles can maintain their high status as before.
Looking at the officials who were shaking their heads, Ying Zheng snorted coldly and announced the end of the court meeting.
......
"This group of people is really hateful!"
"Fortunately, Yu'er discovered it early, otherwise this group of people wouldn't know what they were going to do to my Daqin Chaotang?"
In the Qilin Hall, Ying Zheng said with a look of indignation.
"It's just a bunch of clowns. You don't need to be angry, just relax. They won't be able to dance in a few days."
"Hey, according to the old minister's advice, it's better to add fire to them and make them more proud, so that there will be a basis for tidying up in the future..."
Wang Jian on the side suggested with a smile.
"The old general is still thoughtful."
Ying Yu immediately laughed too.
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "It's up to Han Xin now, I hope he won't let me down."
The corners of Ying Yu's mouth rose slightly.
Han Xin can be honored as a soldier fairy by later generations, is there any need to say more about his ability?
There is no problem at all in cleaning up the assams of the Maurya Dynasty.
