"That's right. We've followed the King in his campaigns across the country, and we've seen all sorts of things over the years."
"We will wipe them out completely. No matter who they are, if they come, we will beat them until they kneel down and surrender."
Discontent has quickly spread throughout the army.
These guys think they're invincible.
A few days later.
These Indian communications cavalry charged over.
“We discovered that tens of thousands of people are heading this way.”
"They are less than a day's journey from here."
Upon hearing this, King Ashoka was immediately startled.
He knew these people were all after them.
This must be Han Xin's army.
"Pass down the order to all soldiers to prepare for battle. The enemy has arrived, and we cannot allow them to live peacefully."
"This time, we have no choice but to fight the enemy to the death. Remember, these people are not to be trifled with."
The order was quickly relayed. For these Indian soldiers, this was finally an opportunity to demonstrate their abilities.
The crowd began to discuss it again.
"I really didn't expect that we'd been waiting for this day and night, and now these bastards have finally arrived."
"Now that they're here, let's make sure they don't leave alive."
"The king said that these guys are all incredibly brave, and each of them can take on thousands or even tens of thousands of us."
"I suspect Your Majesty has said the opposite. Each of us is capable of dealing with thousands, or even tens of thousands, of them."
"In short, we must take their path."
These guys were all full of confidence; they didn't even consider what kind of opponents they would face in the future.
Early the next morning, everyone heard the roar of machinery.
Ashoka's army had never heard such a sound before, and many thought it was thunder.
Immediately afterwards, they felt the ground shake.
These people didn't know what was happening. They looked into the distance in terror. What they saw was nothing but trains rushing towards them from afar.
The women, who had been boasting about their steel might just the night before, were all stunned. They had never seen such a steel torrent or such a steel behemoth before.
These trains were all belching out black smoke.
"What are those? I've never seen vehicles like those before. Are they even vehicles?"
"Why is this vehicle so long? If it's like this, then we are no match for them at all. We can't beat them either."
"Don't say such things. Don't boost others' morale and diminish our own. We are the elite of the Mauryan Dynasty. If we can't even defeat them, then they must be heavenly soldiers."
"We are sure we can beat them to a pulp and make them flee in disarray. As long as we fight with all our might, we can defeat them."
“These people aren’t scary at all; they’re just putting on an act. If they come over, we’ll show them what we’re capable of.”
"In short, these people are no match for us. We need to make them understand that we, one person at a time, can defeat them utterly, and that we, one person at a time, can make tens of thousands of them kneel down and surrender."
As the train drew closer, these people pretended to be calm, but inside they were terrified. They had never seen anything like it before.
At this moment, Han Xin stood in front of the train, looking at the magnificent palace, and he was overjoyed.
"General Han, we are about to reach Ashoka's capital. The enemy has already amassed over a million men, in addition to more than two million troops. However, in our view, these men are utterly insignificant."
Upon hearing this, Han Xin nodded in satisfaction. With a wave of his hand, the men quickly rushed to the enemy's city walls.
The two sides were locked in a tense standoff, and the atmosphere became unusually terrifying.
Han Xin carefully examined the enemy's troop formation. Although the enemy had a large number of soldiers, a dark mass of them fighting, these Indians had never been good at fighting. To think that one could fight against the Indians was simply wishful thinking, a pipe dream.
Even if you give these Indians a lot more men, they still won't be able to fight a good war.
On the other hand, look at Han Xin. Who is Han Xin? Han Xin is a troop commander. Even if you give him very few men, he can still win the battle.
Although the two sides were not on the same level, Han Xin knew that this move was a war of annihilation for the enemy, and he was certain he could defeat them decisively. Facing the massive, dark-skinned enemy forces, Han Xin's confidence soared.
At this very moment, these Indian guys all felt like they were invincible again.
"I thought they would send a lot of people, but I never expected that they would only send this many."
"The advantage is with us. As long as Your Majesty gives the order, we can all rush in and beat them to a pulp, forcing them to flee in disarray."
"I never thought about the other side; how could they dare to do this with only tens of thousands of people?"
"If we kill these people, we can rest easy."
"What right do these people have to act so arrogantly on our turf?"
"They've walked right into our trap. We're sure we can crush them."
Everyone was eager to try. For them, there was only one thing on their minds: to end this matter as soon as possible and to end the war as soon as possible.
In that case, they can do whatever they want, whatever they want to do.
At this point, all the Indian soldiers were becoming restless.
They all looked towards the city wall.
"Your Majesty, why haven't you given the order yet?"
"As long as the king gives the order, all of us will unleash a volley of arrows and we will surely defeat the enemy."
"We are sure to show them what we're capable of; everyone is eagerly waiting."
Just then, the family on the city wall also volunteered to fight.
Ashoka's face was grave. When he saw the dozens of trains rushing to the city walls, he knew he had lost the battle.
But the arrow was already on the string and had to be released; if he didn't fight, their defeat would be even more devastating.
"Pass down my orders: prepare for the attack."
