In the vast plain, a small group of people were riding horses in an orderly manner.

The leader was Ma Chao.

As the vanguard of a small surprise attack, their team moved freely in the northwest of the Maurya Empire, marking the beginning of the attack on the Maurya Empire.

After the outbreak of a full-scale national war, their team became inconspicuous.

But their role is still significant.

The supply lines of the three cities of Gandhara, Kashmir and Takshintar in the northwest of Maurya and the internal transportation of the Maurya Empire were riddled with holes due to their attacks.

Due to the fall of Savatthi, the Maurya Empire's connection with the three northwestern cities was greatly reduced. Now that the supply lines were attacked by Ma Chao, the three northwestern cities were almost in a situation without supplies.

In the northwest today, Ma Chao's team is like a ghost that appears and disappears out of nowhere, causing chaos in the three northwest cities of the Maurya Empire.

At this time, this ghost team was at the junction of the plain and the mountain pass, looking into the distance, as if waiting for something.

Suddenly, a legion appeared at the mountain pass, and the army behind it continued to pour out.

In a short period of time, hundreds of thousands of people gathered.

Soon, the army galloped towards the direction where Ma Chao and others were. The galloping horses were like thunder, and the solemn and murderous atmosphere seemed extremely bleak on the plain.

When approaching Ma Chao, the leading cavalry suddenly stopped. The exchange of movement and stillness in an instant gave people a great sense of incongruity and visual impact.

The cavalry separated in the middle, and a tall black horse stepped out from among them.

It was Li Jing.

On the blazing banners of the army in the rear, there was the eye-catching black and gold lettering of "Xia".

The Great Xia Legion, Li Jing's God of War Division.

"Marshal, I am Ma Chao, and I have fulfilled my mission." Ma Chao stepped forward to report.

"Well done."

Li Jing glanced at the immensely grown Ma Chao and nodded in satisfaction. Ma Chao, now like a sword whose sharp edge could not be hidden, had benefited greatly from this sudden attack in the national war.

"Is this the Khyber Pass?" Li Jing looked around and nodded with satisfaction. "This is the choke point of the country, and yet the Maurya Empire remains indifferent."

Before declaring war on the Maurya Empire, he ordered people to collect detailed intelligence, including maps and terrain.

This throat area is an excellent strategic location. As long as a city is built here, the land where the Maurya Empire is located will be the back garden of their Great Xia in the future.

Guo Jia, who was standing next to him, looked around and nodded with a smile.

This is the most important border entrance of the Maurya Empire in the northwest, with continuous mountain ranges. This mountain pass just happens to be a natural entrance to the Maurya Empire.

Controlling this place can radiate to the entire Maurya Empire, and the baggage and supplies of the Daxia Empire can easily enter the Maurya Empire's front line.

This strategic land was flat and accessible to the Maurya Empire.

"Order the craftsmen to begin construction of 'Peacock Pass' and turn this into a natural fortress. Spare no expense."

"Send a message to Huang Zhong, ordering all the prisoners of war from Savatthi to be brought here and build a city here."

"The army will rest and set out tomorrow to attack the city of Kashmir."

Li Jing issued three military orders in succession.

With the Khyber Pass as its background, the Peacock Pass, as the construction order was issued, the team of craftsmen entered a frantic stage of design and construction. The preliminary preparations were sufficient and everything was in order.

…

Li Jing led the army into the territory of the Maurya Empire, which meant that the entire army in the plateau war zone officially entered the Maurya Empire and launched a full-scale attack on the Maurya Empire.

The news shocked the world.

Especially after Li Jing led his army into the Maurya Empire, the three cities of Gandhara, Takshintar and Kashmir were captured in just three days.

The 20 million players and soldiers stationed around the three cities were unable to withstand a single round of attack from Li Jing's army and were all defeated.

Wherever he went, corpses were left everywhere.

Countless soldiers surrendered.

A steady stream of prisoners of war were being brought from the Maurya Empire's front lines and sent to the Khyber Pass to build the Maurya Pass.

There are very few players among the prisoners of war. Most players do not choose to surrender when they are defeated. They either die in battle or escape, resulting in a situation where all prisoners of war are system characters.

The huge Peacock Pass is rising from the ground in the Khyber Pass.

At this moment, the South Indian players realized that the Great Xia Empire wanted to completely enslave their Maurya Empire.

In history, the people of South India were enslaved by foreign empires for more than two thousand years. Unexpectedly, they still could not escape this fate in the game.

Panic and unwillingness are spreading across the South Indian server as Li Jing's entire army arrives.

…

Inside the meeting hall of the imperial palace in Hua City, the air was filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere.

The murals on the wall looked particularly solemn and dignified under the dim light, but at this moment, no one was in the mood to appreciate these works of art.

The nobles and high-ranking officials of the Maurya Empire sat around the long table with solemn expressions, their eyes occasionally cast towards the center of the meeting - Ashoka.

Now the Maurya Empire was on the brink of collapse.

Ashoka frowned and looked worried.

Not only him, but the presidents of several player guilds were also silent at this moment. As players, they had modern thinking, and no one understood the urgency of the current situation better than them.

The invading party had to fight to defend the capital. They were very familiar with this scenario, but they just didn't want to admit it.

"King, the Great Xia Army is at the gate of the city. What should we do?" An elderly noble stood up trembling, breaking the silence in the conference hall.

His finger pointed to a mark on the map.

"Gandhara, Takshintar, and Kashmir have fallen. Savatthi, Mengga, and Kapilavastu are all under the control of the Bactrian army. If we don't have a plan, they will attack Pataliputra."

"How can the strength of the Daxia Legion be so strong?" Another noble hesitated, his face full of worry.
