Daqin: Reign in the world

Next to a trebuchet, dozens of people were densely surrounded, becoming the best target for archers.

On the side of the Mauryan Dynasty, there is no good way to deal with it. It was only possible for the soldiers to forcibly attack the city with improvised shields.

However, under the dense hard crossbow of Daqin, the wooden shield would be shattered without a few arrows.

The Mauryan Dynasty really could not capture the city head of Mandu, so it had to besiege it outside, wanting to consume the defenders in the city to death.

Wei Ping ignored the army outside the city and was busy with one thing.

When Mandu was captured before, in addition to capturing prisoners of war in Yicheng, he also captured the younger brother of the Peacock King, the Lord of Banta. And let the Mauryan dynasty take two hundred pounds of gold to ransom people.

The two sides sent emissaries and discussed back and forth for a month. In the end, the Mauryan dynasty gave away gold and prepared to redeem people.

However, the gold was sent from Fahrenheit City. As soon as he crossed the Ganges, he was intercepted by Bai Wu.

Wei Ping, on the grounds that he had not received the ransom, refused to release Banta and a group of other prisoners of war.

At this moment, the Peacock King is fried!

The territory of the Mauryan Dynasty, in the northwest, also had a large territory. There were neighbors with the small countries of the Persian race, and there were constant wars with each other.

Therefore, the Peacock King placed most of his heavy troops in the northwest.

At this time, 100,000 border troops who could fight were mobilized from the northwest to attack Mandu.

The northwestern frontier army of the Mauryan Dynasty was different from the army in the interior. The configuration of weapons and equipment is the top of the Mauryan Dynasty.

This time on the expedition to Mandu, the war elephant legion alone brought a full two thousand heads.

However, this is not very good.

Wei Ping did not pay too much attention to these enemy troops. He gathered some old and weak women and children who had been captured before and told them in detail.

It was east of Mandu, now named Tianzhu. A new law is being implemented here, so that everyone can live a prosperous life if they are willing to farm honestly.

And then, put them all …

Say yes, give them themselves, let them go to the four fortresses of Tianzhu themselves. There, you can get a piece of land of your own free of charge.

The Mauryan Dynasty was also an agrarian country, and the people attached the same importance to the land as the people of Daqin.

With the land, my heart is steady, and I feel that I finally have a foundation in this world.

These released people are in a good mood. After leaving the city, they all fled east.

It’s just that the current Mandu City has been besieged by the Mauryan Dynasty’s large army.

Of the released captives, none of them escaped, and they were all captured.

The Mauryan dynasty liked to use slave soldiers to fight forwards.

However, these people caught were all old and weak women and children, and they could not be used at all. Keep and give them rations, the gain is not worth the loss.

In the end, they were all released.

However, before you know it, a rumor slowly rises and spreads among the army of the Mauryan Dynasty.

This rumor is like a plague.

At the beginning, the generals of the Mauryan Dynasty did not notice abnormalities.

It was reported every day, and how many soldiers escaped today.

More and more soldiers escaped every day.

Later, the overseers had to be used to supervise the sentries who were on duty every day.

However, even the supervising battle team also escaped!

The people in the overseer team are all the cronies of each general, and they are the most loyal group of people in the entire army.

Only then did the general of the Mauryan Dynasty realize the problem in his eyes and began to investigate.
