Ashoka ordered the giant elephant army to go to war. This decision was like a bombshell, causing an uproar among the players of the Maurya Empire.

In the "Dynasty" game forum on the South Indian server, discussions about the fate of the Maurya Empire are in full swing.

As the news of the Giant Elephant Legion's expedition spread, the players' emotions were like a ignited volcano, and it was difficult to contain the eruption.

"Is our dynasty about to end? The Great Xia Army is too strong, we can't resist it at all!"

"The Maurya Empire in history was enslaved by foreign empires for over two thousand years. Are we going to repeat the same mistake in this game?"

"The Giant Elephant Legion has set out. Did they get slapped in the face? Hahahaha. The Giant Elephant Legion is invincible. They will kill all outsiders."

"Invincible, our Giant Elephant Legion is invincible, they are doomed."

"The Daxia Army is not weak, and Li Jing is their military god," one player posted a warning. "Even with the Giant Elephant Army and Ashoka, we can't guarantee victory over the Daxia Army. We need to proceed with caution and not take it lightly."

"What a coward! The Giant Elephant Army is going to war, but he is still afraid of the Great Xia Army? What a joke. We have the Giant Elephant Army, which is invincible! We can trample on everything."

"Yes, we have the great king Ashoka. His wisdom and courage will lead us to victory."

"Yes, if we defeat Li Jing, we can invade the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty and capture Lin Han alive. All the territory of the Great Xia will be ours."

"The Giant Elephant Army is invincible, Ashoka is invincible."

"Don't underestimate the enemy. The Great Xia Empire is very powerful. Li Jing is the military god of the Tang Dynasty in their history."

"No, this time is different! We are players. Modern players are much smarter and more strategic than those ancient people. It's easy to find a way to defeat the Daxia Legion!"

…………

Kashmir city.

Li Jing was on the top of the city wall, looking towards the south.

Soon, an intelligence officer hurried over and stopped respectfully beside Li Jing.

"Reporting to the Marshal, the latest intelligence is that the Maurya Empire's giant elephant army has set out from Pataliputra and is heading towards Savatthi."

Li Jing nodded slightly after hearing this.

"What are the details of the Giant Elephant Legion?"

"The Giant Elephant Legion consists of 80,000 giant elephants, each wearing heavy iron armor and carrying 20 archers and spearmen. Spies report that the Maurya rebel army has nearly 100 million soldiers, bringing their own food and fodder, accompanying the army."

Guo Jia walked forward and followed Li Jing's gaze towards the south.

"The Maurya Empire's population is indeed huge. The giant elephant battle formation is a threat. Add in 100 million rebels, and this battle formation is unique."

"As expected." Li Jing said calmly.

Before attacking the Maurya Empire, he had anticipated this day.

Because of this, he did not act rashly. He chose to take action only after the four fronts of Baiyue, Goguryeo, ancient Mongolia and Japan were all conquered.

Because of logistical issues.

This was the largest war he had ever commanded, and it went deep into the Maurya Empire. The logistics had to keep up, otherwise it would be a quagmire.

Now that the other four major battlefields have been fought, the logistics of the Great Xia Empire will be able to fully support the Maurya Dynasty battlefield.

"Tell Huang Zhong to abandon the defense of Savatthi and lead his troops north to rejoin us. Drive all the demon cattle captured from the Maurya Empire back here. Fortify the defenses along the way and burn any food that cannot be carried away on the spot."

"Send the order to Yu Du to defend Kapilavastu. The terrain of Kapilavastu is steep and not suitable for the Giant Elephant Legion to fight. There is no need to worry about being attacked by the Giant Elephant Legion."

"Order Xu Huang to assemble his forces. After the Giant Elephant Corps recaptures Savatthi and continues its pursuit northward, Xu Huang's forces will march from the eastern Maurya Empire to attack Nara."

"Order the entire army to capture the cattle and gather them outside the city of Taxashiro."

Li Jing issued five orders in a row with confidence.

A 100 million-strong army sounds scary, but in his eyes it is not scary, but happy.

If generals do not know how to command and lead, the larger the legion, the greater the burden will be and the more difficult it will be to command and operate.

A legion of 100 million is like a huge machine. If the "general" driving this machine is not capable enough, the machine will not be able to move. Instead, after the machine is crushed by the outside world, the core driving parts will collapse due to insufficient strength.

Li Jing was well aware of the horror here.

So even though there were many rebel forces in Daxia who wanted to sign up to attack the Maurya Empire, they ultimately refused.

Because the more people in a legion, the better. It depends on how many people the commander can control.

As a commander, he knew how terrifying it was to command a legion of 100 million people, but he also knew how terrifying the scene would be if this legion got out of control.

An avalanche effect will occur, and the collapse of 100 million people will drive the entire Maurya Empire out of control.

He looked up the specific information about the Maurya Empire.

There are very few talented commanders.

Because the northern part of this place is isolated by mountains, there are few foreign invasions, and there is only one powerful country around it, Daxia. It has experienced very few large-scale wars and has never fought any super-large-scale wars.

It would probably be a bit difficult to command 100 million people to fight against him.

As long as they defeat the most elite legions of the Maurya Empire, the rebel army will be in disarray, and the fear of collapse will spread to the entire Maurya Empire.

The inertia of that avalanche will destroy the entire Maurya Empire.

Subsequent processing will be effortless.

And all we need to do is defeat the giant elephant army.

The Giant Elephant Legion is the foundation of the Maurya Empire and the invincible legion in the hearts of every citizen of the Maurya Empire. As long as the Giant Elephant Legion is defeated and annihilated and the faith of the Maurya Empire is crushed, the subsequent Maurya Empire will be vulnerable.
