Chapter 823
Instantly, everyone was thrown into chaos.
When these people saw the white eagles circling overhead, they knew they had been discovered.
This army of 200,000 included elephant cavalry, camel cavalry, and warhorses.
In addition, there are a large number of heavy weapons here.
This will make things very complicated.
The scene was chaotic, and many people were like flies, not knowing what to do.
Han Xin looked up at the sky.
As he had predicted, the eagles had already spotted Ashoka's large army.
Judging from the position of the eagles circling in the air, Han Xin had already roughly guessed the location of Ashoka's main force.
"Why didn't those Indians attack us last night?" Han Xin roared. "If they had attacked us last night, we could have wiped them out completely!"
"Li Cunxiao." Seeing Li Cunxiao carrying the barbarian king's corpse as he charged back with his weapon, Han Xin quickly pointed to the eagle circling in the air.
"That should be the enemy's main force. You take the gunners and musketeers and wipe them all out."
Li Cunxiao nodded after hearing this. He hadn't had enough of killing when he went to charge at these barbarians earlier.
He hadn't expected these tall, dark-skinned barbarians to be so easily defeated.
"Understood."
After Li Cunxiao finished speaking, he threw the corpse of the barbarian king from the weapon in his hand.
With a whoosh, the guy's corpse flew more than ten meters away and crashed heavily to the ground.
The barbarian king's corpse instantly turned into a pile of minced meat.
Soon, the sound of war drums and horns filled the air.
Dozens of trains rushed out of the military camp.
The trains roared deafeningly.
The train emitted plumes of smoke.
At the same time, the train whistle sounded one after another.
Waaaaah... Waaaah...
The train's whistle resounded through the sky.
At this time, King Ashoka was leading his soldiers to reorganize the resistance.
These soldiers are now like headless flies.
Even if the order is quickly relayed, they may not necessarily obey it.
Some of the soldiers ran around aimlessly, while others headed directly south.
"Get the catapults ready for me."
"Aim all the heavy crossbows at a distance, and don't panic. If we panic, we're all doomed."
"Everyone must obey my orders, or they will fight to the death if they don't want to die."
Many soldiers realized at this point that even if they wanted to retreat, there was no way to do so.
The people in front were already packed together.
Those behind should hurry up and catch up.
Soon, more and more archers turned around, holding longbows and heading towards Li Cunxiao's dozens of trains.
Just then, the whirring sound of a train rang out again.
Elephant cavalry, camel cavalry, and horse cavalry.
They had never seen such a steel behemoth before.
These cavalrymen lined up in formation.
"Don't panic, absolutely don't panic."
"No matter what, we must form a proper formation and fight them."
"If things get out of control, the consequences will be unimaginable. We are no match for them at all."
"You all better fight them to the bitter end."
Many cavalrymen slammed their legs into their horses' bellies.
Soon, these cavalrymen charged forward like arrows released from a bow.
The cavalry charged at the forefront.
Following closely behind were camel cavalry and elephant cavalry.
Seeing the cavalry charging ahead, Ashoka was overjoyed.
"All heavy crossbows, prepare to fire. Once the enemy is within our firing range, fire as hard as you can."
"We must show no mercy to anyone. We need to let them know that they have no chance of fighting us."
Soon, all the archers fired their crossbows into the sky.
For these people, all they had to do was wait until Han Xin's troops entered their firing range before they started shooting arrows into the sky.
When the time comes, these arrows will trace beautiful arcs through the air and surely land on these trucks.
However, to their utter surprise, the trains were moving much faster than they had imagined, and the noise they made startled the warhorses charging at the front.
Li Cunxiao pointed the Yuwang Divine Spear in his hand forward sharply: "Listen to my command, prepare to fire!"
With Li Cunxiao's command.
Dozens of cannons were all aimed at the charging cavalry.
"Fire."
At another command, the thunderous roar of cannons echoed continuously.
Puffs of blue smoke billowed from the cannon muzzle.
A barrage of cannonballs rained down on the cavalry.
The cavalrymen watched as plumes of smoke rose in the distance, completely unaware of what was happening. However, they soon heard deafening cannon fire.
By the time these guys heard the deafening cannon fire, the shells had already landed among the crowd.
The sound of explosions continued to ring out.
Many people were thrown about by the bomb, ending up in a sorry state.
When had these warhorses ever encountered such a formation, with all the warhorses, elephants, and camels?
They were already terrified by the oncoming trains.
The whistling sound of the train had already startled these beasts.
These elephants, camels, and warhorses were completely out of control.
When these cannonballs landed on the cavalry, the warhorses, elephants, and camels became even more uncontrollable.
Many livestock fled in all directions, disregarding everything.
The cavalrymen on the backs of these animals tried their best to pull them back, but they were powerless to do so.
Shells were fired one after another, and violent explosions occurred among them.
Hot and sharp shrapnel pierced their bodies rapidly, like raindrops.
Many people and the livestock they were riding were blown up, their bodies torn apart and limbs scattered everywhere.
A cannonball hit an elephant precisely.
Before the elephant could even let out a scream, it was blown into a cloud of blood mist.
The cavalrymen on the elephant had no chance to dodge and were sent flying. They were propelled tens of meters into the air by the shockwave of the explosion and crashed heavily to the ground.
When these people fell to the ground, the cavalry behind them were completely out of control, trampling over them.
The scene became extremely chaotic.
Ashoka had not expected that the enemy had only fired a few dozen cannon shots, yet his thousands of cavalrymen were already routed and fleeing in all directions.
"You idiots, where do you think you're going?"
"Quickly regroup and charge at the enemy. We absolutely cannot fight like this."
"Running around like this is like they're tired of living and should change direction."
When Ashoka saw this, he couldn't wait any longer.
But the cavalry in front of them simply wouldn't listen to commands.
