    November 3rd.  The vanguard of the Peacock Kingdom, led by the royal family Bai Cheng, led 50,000 mercenaries into Bamiyan, an important town on the Persian Plateau in Suiye Province.  Bamiyan is located in the jurisdiction of Suiye Province and borders the Indus River Basin. It is an important node on the Silk Road. This small city travels between the Persian Plateau and Congling, carrying the civilizations of the south, east and west.  Intersection, the first goal of the Maurya army heading north, this is here.  Ma Jin, the Qin military captain who was guarding Bamiyan, had about 4,000 soldiers under his command. This force was also the only force with combat effectiveness in Suiye Province besides Ji Bu's 10,000 soldiers.  .  However, now they have to face an attack by an enemy that is many times larger than their own.     give up!  Ma Jin can¡¯t do it.  This is not only because his sense of military honor does not allow it, but also because once Bamiyan is lost, the Peacock Army will be able to take the Suiye City along the Bamiyan Valley all the way to the lower reaches of the Amu Darya River.  If the enemy can be held back in Bamiyan for a while, I believe Jibu will be able to more easily gather the strength of the entire province, and the reinforcements coming from the east and west will arrive before the cold weather.  Defense is not weakness.  Both Ji Bu and Ma Jin are generals who have experienced battles for a long time. Their age has long passed the time of impulsiveness. As long as Suiye City is not lost, the Silk Road will not be interrupted. Ma Jin, who is determined to persevere, begins to follow the path of impulsiveness.  Fortresses were built one after another along the Bamiyan Valley. The thick loess here can easily dig out caves one after another, and these caves are the natural tunnels for the Qin army to hide their troops.  The Baicheng mercenaries led by Shili were obviously not adapted to the cold climate in the north. The inherent laziness of the South Asians was fully demonstrated in the attack on Bamiyan. The four thousand Qin troops led by Ma Jin continued to block the attack.  Sri Sri's army continued to obstruct it for about ten days. It was not until November 13 that Sri Sri's army began to break through the defense line of Bamiyan's outer city.  The decline of the Baicheng mercenaries made the general Pushyami Tuo very angry. The original intention of this general from the Xunjia tribe was to use the hands of the Qin people to weaken the rival Shili.  But the current situation is difficult to get off. The weather in November is already full of wind and snow for the Amu Darya River area.  Years of drought and warmth in South Asia are very different from the ice and snow in the north. After the Indian army arrived in Bamiyan, they began to fear the weather here. For ordinary soldiers, especially the mercenary soldiers of the Baicheng Kingdom.  The so-called struggle for power by the big shots has nothing to do with slaves and civilians like them. What they care about is that they can have a mouthful of food every day to fill their stomachs.  Pushyamiduo urged Sri Sri to attack the city but failed. In anger, the ambitious general decided to change the siege troops. This time, he directly sent his direct troops - the war elephant troops of the Sunga tribe.     Like soldiers.  It is a unique military unit in South Asia, a behemoth like an elephant.  Suitable for survival in tropical and subtropical jungles, they like to eat tender branches on broad-leaf branches. As early as around 2000 BC, Indians had examples of taming elephants to serve humans.  The establishment of the war elephant army can be traced back to the beginning of the Mauryan Dynasty.  The elephant is huge in size and powerful, and a general defensive formation is of no use to the army of soldiers.  Pushyamitra took the elephant soldiers as the forerunner, and he was interested in the deterrent power of the elephants' rampage.  The city of Bamiyan.  It¡¯s just a simple earthen wall made of loess. This kind of city wall.  It's okay against ordinary infantry, but it's not good enough against war elephants.  November 20th, in Bamiyan city.  After a series of hard battles, there were still more than 2,200 Qin soldiers guarding the city. It became increasingly difficult to defend the city. Although Ma Jin made various arrangements, his troops were still not enough.  On the city tower.  Ma Jin and several military princes stood on a high place, watching the enemy camp in the river valley.  "Captain Ma, the attacking troops have been changed outside the city. Those cowardly Baicheng people have withdrawn. Now the ones coming up are the war elephants of the Xunjia people. Our city walls cannot withstand the impact of such big guys."  Among the military princes, a big man with a beard said worriedly.  "Bamiyan cannot abandon its defense. Even if we all die in battle, we will still be nailed here like a nail. If those brown-skinned aliens want to go to Broken Leaf City, they must first step over my body, Ma Jin. You  "You guys have heard it clearly, if you are timid later, don't blame me, Ma, for being unkind?" Ma Jin's eyes widened and he shouted at Qiuxu Junhou.  "Don't worry, Colonel, we will do our best." All the military commanders heard that Ma Jin was determined to fight, and all of them had solemn expressions, and they agreed in unison.  ¡ª¡ª.  Bamiyan fell into enemy siege,Suiye Province was in an emergency, and Li Yuan received Ji Bu's urgent report in early November.  In the autumn of the seventeenth year of the Qin Dynasty, the Qin army was preparing for a new round of land offensive against Rome. To be honest, the Peacock Kingdom on the Indian Peninsula had the courage to confront Qin. This was something Li Yuan ignored. For this  The South Asian subcontinent is known as the third largest ethnic group in the world, but Li Yuan actually doesn't know much about it.  Rome was the most powerful Western power in the same era as Qin. Regarding its history, from famous figures such as Scipio and Fabian, Marius, Pompey, Caesar, Octavius, and Antony,  It is well documented in Western history books, but the situation in the Indian peninsula is different.  The ancient civilization born in the Ganges River Basin and the Indus River Basin is a splendid culture as famous as Egypt, China, Greece, Rome and other civilizations, but its influence has never been comparable to the first four. The reason is very simple.  There has never been a strong and long-lasting dynasty in the Indian peninsula. The only thing that has left a deep impression on the world on this South Asian peninsula is their religion-Buddhism.  The Mauryan Dynasty once unified most of the peninsula during the Asoka period, but the time was very short-lived. After Ashoka's death, the Mauryan Dynasty also declined immediately. According to the development of history, Jucha was the last king. His  Death also occurred within these few years.  A country that is about to die is naturally not within Li Yuan's sight. Da Qin's war goal is always aimed at the most powerful opponent.  This time the Indians jumped out and wanted to bleed Qin's arteries. Naturally, Li Yuan would not let this potential opponent go.  The crisis in Suiye City suddenly put the seemingly powerful Qin State into a dilemma.  Throughout Central Asia and the Middle East, the flames of war have begun to ignite.  The differences between yellow people and white people, as well as the differences in living habits and personal beliefs between Eastern and Western peoples, cannot be eliminated in a short time.  The sudden attack of the Indian Peacock Kingdom was like a bomb that exploded at a certain point, detonating all the unstable factors on the long Silk Road.  On the Persian plateau, those Persians who were unwilling to lose power began to attack Qin's pavilions non-stop. On the Syrian plateau, the descendants of the Assyrians also raised the flag of resistance. Their purpose was to expel  People of Qin, restore the country of their ancestors.  The Western Region of the Qin Dynasty.  There are wars everywhere. Under such a situation, although the Qin State's Western Expeditionary Forces are strong in strength, if they do not withdraw their troops from the European front lines, there will be insufficient troops to return to Suiye City and quell the wars in various provinces.  Mid-November.  After Li Yuan urgently summoned his counselors and generals to discuss, he issued an emergency order in Xin'an City. The 80,000-strong westward marching army led by Luo Jia and Cao Xin, together with the 20,000 mercenaries of the Thracian general Spartacus, continued to march.  Guarding the front lines of Macedonia and the Greek peninsula; at the same time, the Han Xin Army, which was oppressing the Germans and Saxons on the northern front, continued to maintain its pressure on the Nordic peoples, striving to squeeze the northern barbarians toward the Roman border as soon as possible.  At the same time, about 60,000 soldiers were mobilized from the second line to form a return army. This support army included a group of young generals such as Yang Yu, Zhou Ping, Han Anguo, Feng Tang, and Li Shang. They were directly led by Li Yuan himself.  Command, prepare to cross the Persian Plateau, follow the route that Alexander the Great took when he captured the Indus River, and outflank the Mauryan Dynasty's retreat.  It is rude to come and not go back.  With Li Yuan¡¯s style, of course he had to retaliate against the Indian, and this time after punching the Indian with a heavy left hook, Li Yuan hoped to beat the Indian Asan until he couldn¡¯t move.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
