.
"If the enemy surrounds us, the food supplies in the city won't last long."
"They've surrounded us, but what are they going to use to surround us?" Ashoka had already realized that although Han Xin's army was very capable, its numbers were simply insufficient.
In his view, if there aren't enough people, don't even think about besieging the city.
As long as they have no other options, the siege becomes much simpler.
"Your Majesty, the enemy's fighting power is simply too strong. Each of them can easily defeat 100 of us?"
"If they simply set up a city wall outside, how are we supposed to break through?"
"We won't be able to spare much time before they wipe us all out."
"That's absolutely right, that's exactly how it is." Ashoka saw that the sounds of gunfire outside had gradually subsided by this time.
Now, the enemy cavalry are charging in all directions.
These cavalrymen brandished gleaming sabers.
Wherever they went, the people who scattered and fled were not enough for them to cut down with their swords.
Han Xin also knew that there was no need to use guns to deal with these weaklings.
When their main force arrived here, guns and shells were extremely precious.
If we use guns and cannons to deal with these Indians, once the guns and cannons are used up, they will not be renewable and will need to be transported over.
A large number of bullets and shells had to be transported from the homeland of the Great Xia Dynasty, a very long journey.
Now is the time to put these bullets and shells to good use.
At other times, we used these horse-slaying swords and bows and arrows to deal with these Indians.
Now is finally the time for these fierce generals, like Li Cunxiao, to put their strengths to good use.
These Indians were no match for them at all.
The group rode their horses, fighting their way from left to right and from right to left.
Within two hours.
The hundreds of thousands of defenders outside the city were all wiped out by them.
Two hours later.
Li Cunxiao and his men arrived before Han Xin, dejected.
"General Li, what's wrong? You seem a little unhappy."
“These Indians are no match for us, but they were too scattered. It took us two hours to completely wipe them out,” Li Cunxiao said, looking at the mountains and fields covered with the corpses of Indians.
“That kid Li Yuanba told me that he wiped out the enemy’s million-strong army in less than four hours. Compared to Li Yuanba, I’m nothing.”
Han Xin smiled slightly and pointed to the city wall.
"Is General Li capable of leading the first troops to charge in and defeat them decisively?"
"Just leave it to me, and I will definitely be the first to lead the troops in. The Indians are no match for us. Don't be fooled by their high walls; I can assure you, I will be the first to break through."
Han Xin nodded after hearing this.
"Gentlemen, pass down the order: we must take this imperial city in one fell swoop. After we take it, we can rest properly inside the imperial city."
He hadn't expected the attack to be so much easier than he thought.
The order was quickly relayed.
Li Cunxiao charged ahead of the group all by himself.
At that very moment, Ashoka, standing atop the city wall, saw Li Cunxiao charging towards him.
"Your Majesty, we must think twice before we act. There are so many people in the city, and they will definitely need food in the future."
"The simplest thing for us now is to drive all the people in the city out."
"The only way is to drive all those people out."
"Your Majesty, we have driven all the people out of the city. The grain they left behind is enough for us to hold out for a year and a half."
"These people from the Great Xia Dynasty have come from afar."
"If they can't break through, they will naturally withdraw their troops."
"At that time, we will be able to win without fighting."
King Ashoka nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
He wholeheartedly agreed with what these princes and ministers said, and every word they uttered pleased him greatly.
"That's right, that's exactly how it should be. We should drive all those people out of the city. Only by driving them all out can we have a good time."
"Guards, pass on my order: drive all those people out of the city!"
"These ordinary people might be able to hold them off for a while. Only by letting them hold off for a while and exhausting their strength can we live a good life."
The order was quickly relayed, and many local residents had already reached the edge of the city walls, eager to watch the spectacle. For them, their favorite thing to do was to enjoy the lively atmosphere and watch the excitement.
After the order was given, the doors quickly opened.
“Our king has ordered all of you to leave the city now.”
"Listen up, all you people! No one is to stay in the city. If anyone is found to be in the city, beat them to death."
Once the order was given, everyone chased the Indians away like cockroaches and rats.
The Indians inside the city poured out of the city gates like a flood bursting its banks.
These Indians' lives are as fragile as cockroaches'.
No one cared about these Indians. At this moment, they had no idea what had happened. They were completely unaware of what had just occurred outside the city. All they wanted to do was follow their king's orders and leave the city as quickly as possible.
As for what will happen after leaving the city, these Indians have no idea.
"Everyone, get out of the city immediately! The King has ordered that everyone must rush out within one hour, or be killed without mercy."
The city's garrison soldiers brandished their weapons, which gleamed in the sunlight.
Seeing the gleaming weapons, all the Indians were terrified. At this moment, the most important thing for them was to leave this place as quickly as possible; otherwise, they would surely die.
"Hurry up and get out of here, or we'll be killed by the people behind us."
"What are you all dawdling about? Don't crowd at the city gate, hurry up and get out. Once you get to the city gate, everyone has to rush out quickly."
The city's garrison was ecstatic. They herded the Indians out of the city like rats, many of them buoyed with excitement as they went.
"Hurry up, all of you, or I'll kill you all."
