Daxia's sudden declaration of war completely stunned King Ashoka!
Ashoka had speculated many ways about how he would get along with Daxia in the future, but he never expected that Daxia would be so ruthless, and just after the cooperation ended, he swung the butcher knife at Ashoka.
Turn your face like a book!
Daxia North Route Army, fourteen field regiments, 700,000 elite divisions, divided into three groups, entered the hinterland of the Ashoka Dynasty from the border fortress in Xikang Province.
Two years ago, when the Ashoka dynasty attacked Tubo, it took the same path.
At the same time, the Great Xia South Army and West Army, which had joined forces in the Gupta Dynasty, quickly swung their troops northward, chasing the tail of the Ashoka Army, and brazenly launched an attack on the former friendly army.
The huge Gupta Dynasty is the logistics base of the Great Xia Army, so it can be confident.
It has to be said that Daxia chose the timing of the war this time, which is really a coincidence!
At this time, in the Ashoka Dynasty, half of the troops were stationed in the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty, responsible for guarding prisoners of war and sweeping up the remaining bandits; 40% of the troops remained in the territory of the Gupta Dynasty.
Only 10% of the troops left in the mainland, less than 150,000, were basically concentrated in the royal city of Delhi.
With such a military force, facing the Great Xia North Route Army, which has been recharging its energy and recharging its strength, it really has nothing to fight back.
Under Li Jing's superb command, the Great Xia North Route Army attacked on three sides, like a torrent of floods, sweeping away all resistance forces, and everywhere they went, cities and towns fell in anticipation.
The Northern Route Army did not give the enemy a chance.
This is Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty. He is a nightmare for the enemy without making mistakes.
According to the plan, the three armies of the North Route Army will join forces in the city of Delhi, take down the most critical city in Tianzhu District in one fell swoop, and then use the city of Delhi as a base to sweep across the entire Ganges plain.
This is the most critical step.
Once the city of Delhi and the surrounding Ganges Plain were occupied by Bactria, even if the Ashoka Dynasty had the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty as its strategic rear, it would be difficult to make any big waves.
Therefore, the battle of Derry City is the key to this battle.
But at this time, King Ashoka was still calming the hearts of the people in the territory of the Maurya Dynasty. When he heard the news of the war in Daxia, he was so angry that he vomited blood for three liters, and almost fainted from the anger.
"Shameless!"
Ashoka, who woke up, was dripping with cold sweat.
The events that happened in the past few months flashed through Ashoka's mind like a movie, and gradually strung together into a sober line, which made people tremble.
"So, was the so-called alliance a trap from the start?"
Ashoka's mouth was dry, and his heart felt even more bitter.
Daxia's calculations were too vicious. First, he provoked internal strife in Tianzhu, consumed Tianzhu's strength, and then pretended to unite with the Ashoka Dynasty to eliminate the two confidants of the Maurya Dynasty and the Gupta Dynasty.
In the end, he showed his true colors, and the soldiers pointed directly at the Ashoka Dynasty.
"I should have thought about it a long time ago. How could Daxia's wolf ambition be satisfied with a Gupta dynasty." Ashoka hated his own greed and stupidity a little bit, and fell into Daxia's trick.
It was greed that blinded Ashoka and made him cooperate with Daxia to set off a great chaos in Tianzhu.
It was also stupid, which made Ashoka gradually lose his guard against his "ally" Daxia, and kept moving his troops away from the mainland, so that the local defense was empty, giving Daxia an opportunity to take advantage of.
What made Ashoka even more painful was that after the last round of game update, there was only one teleportation array in Delhi City in Tianzhu District. It was impossible for Ashoka to return to Delhi City quickly.
Thinking that the old nest might be breached by the enemy at any time, Ashoka was very anxious.
"No, I can't give up!"
Ashoka's eyes were red, like a lost gambler, ready to risk everything. In fact, for the Ashoka Dynasty, it was not without a chance of winning.
First, the army of the Ashoka Dynasty is still there, with a total of more than 1.4 million, and after more than a year of war, all of them are elite troops.
Second, as long as the Ashoka Dynasty survives the most difficult moment and delays the war, it will be able to transform the prisoners of war of the Maurya Dynasty into a viable force and put them on the battlefield.
At the same time, Ashoka was able to recruit troops on the spot.
All in all, for the Ashoka Dynasty at present, there are two strategic goals that must be achieved. One is to arrange for the army to travel day and night to help the city of Delhi.
The army of the Ashoka Dynasty can only defend the royal city if it enters Delhi City one step ahead of the Great Xia Army.
As long as the royal city does not fall, the Ashoka Dynasty will last forever!
The second is to buy time, turn this battle into a protracted war, and win the opportunity for the dynasty to recruit troops. Even better, it's already October and winter will soon be upon us.
Therefore, from the perspective of weather, it is more beneficial to the Ashoka Dynasty.
Coupled with the fact that the Ashoka Dynasty fought on its own territory, and the right location and people were all present, so the right time, place and people were all dominant. There is no reason to say that the Ashoka Dynasty would not be able to win this battle.
When convening the generals to discuss the matter, Ashoka made such a generous statement.
Ashoka's words lit up the lights in the hearts of all the generals, all of them were full of energy and enthusiasm, and threatened to drive Daxia out of Tianzhu completely.
"Not even the Gupta Dynasty!" said the generals.
At this military affairs meeting, King Ashoka made a decision to send 150,000 elite troops from each of the Maurya Dynasty and the Gupta Dynasty to help Delhi City day and night.
Ashoka was responsible for coordinating the remaining troops, fighting steadily, personally leading his troops, and fighting a decisive battle with the Great Xia Army.
"If this battle is lost, the king can only apologize with death!"
Before the expedition, King Ashoka made a blood oath and screamed out the excitement of all the generals.
"The bloody battle to the end!"
"You can't pay back!"
It has to be said that King Ashoka is a ruthless man, and his subordinates have no cowards, they are all heroes who dare to die.
…
October 15th, Bangalore City.
After sending off the advance troops, Ashoka took the army and prepared to set off.
On that day, Hao Haoran's army of more than 500,000 troops held a swearing-in meeting, but surrounded Ashoka, left the city of Bangalore, and marched towards the mainland.
Facing the provocation of Daxia, the Ashoka Dynasty took up the challenge!
This is the biggest battle in Tianzhu District, whoever wins will be the master of Tianzhu District.
At the same time, the capital.
The news of Ashoka's expedition was reported to the capital in real time by the Black Snake Guard.
The imperial palace, the imperial study room.
Ouyang Shuo hung up the video chat with the Black Snake Guard agent, and a complicated smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Ashoka, go all the way!"
As he spoke, Ouyang Shuo took out a mysterious talisman from his bosom, which was the "Emperor's Immediate Death Talisman" that Gaia rewarded when he was promoted to the dynasty. After using it, he could designate any NPC emperor to die instantly.
Without hesitation, Ouyang Shuo picked up a pen and filled in the name of King Ashoka in the blank space of the talisman.
In an instant, the talisman ignited and spontaneously ignited, and then turned into a golden light. With a "swish", it passed through the barrier of space and fell into the body of King Ashoka who was marching thousands of miles away.
