    Li Yuan promised.  The Persians were overjoyed. Facing the powerful Qin that spanned Asia and Europe, Mudor no longer thought about resurrecting the honor and status of the Persian Empire. He now only thought about joining the Qin ship to save himself and his country.  Brothers get some benefits.  Darrow City.  This city, located at the junction of the middle and lower reaches of the Indus River, was an important northern town of the Sunga Dynasty. It was also an important node for the Sunga people to control the Sindh and Suleiman Mountains. After Pushyamidu became king, he stationed a military commander in the city.  Elephant troops, two infantry troops, about 5,000 troops.  The Sunga official responsible for guarding the city was a powerful minister and friend of the former Maurya Dynasty. This ally of Pushyamitra had a very high status among the Sunga people. He was a staunch supporter of the Brahmin caste religion, and he was also a strong supporter of the Brahmin caste religion.  The highest religious leader of a sect in the Indus Valley.  In fact, the reason why the missionaries betrayed Juche was because of their differences in beliefs.  In the later period of the Mauryan Dynasty, especially in the later period of King Ashoka's reign, his support for Buddhism was quite strong, while other sects, including Brahmins, were severely suppressed. This kind of religious conflict eventually led to the collapse of the Mauryan Dynasty.  destruction.  After the establishment of the Sunga Dynasty, Brahmanism replaced Buddhism as the state religion. However, a large number of Buddhists were persecuted and had to leave their homeland and go to strange places to spread their teachings. Buddhist ascetics and others traveled thousands of mountains and rivers.  , arrived in the Chang'an area from India, which is also the earliest record of the eastward spread of Buddhism in historical records.  This kind of religious dispute between Brahmins and Buddhism was even more obvious in the city of Daro, which was guarded by Chaiyou. In order to deal with possible resistance from Buddhists, Chaiyou stationed one of the two infantry regiments in the city, and the other  Liaison outside the city and responsible for the security of the supply line between Daro City and the outside world. As for the elephant soldiers, due to the elephants' huge size and food supply, they can only graze in the foothills of the southern part of Suleiman Mountain.     should say.  From the perspective of safety, there is not much of a problem with this arrangement of the missionaries. Daro City is located in the hinterland of the Indus River and is the core area of ??the entire Sunga Kingdom. Generally speaking, it is unlikely that large-scale hostile forces will appear.  , an infantry regiment with a strength of more than 2,000 people.  It was enough to maintain the security around Darrow, but he overlooked one point. Sometimes being overconfident can often lead to disaster.  Mudor's Persian soldiers appeared in twos and threes near the city of Daro. Their behavior was no different from ordinary refugee soldiers. Their hair was messy, their leather robes were extremely dirty, and their only travel season was probably  A small cloth robe under the waist.  As for what's inside?  No one knows except me.  For this group of refugees from Persia, Bactria, and Parthia, the Sunga people were angry and helpless. What made them angry was that this group of bandits had looted several villages and killed many compatriots, but what disappointed them was that  Reports of the Persians' indiscriminate killings and looting often fell into disgrace to the great nobles in the court.  We still have to use the power of the Persians to fight against Qin. How can we punish them severely?  In the glare of the Sunga civilians and slaves on the side, Mudor and a few cronies waved to the Sunga soldiers guarding the city and entered the city of Daro.  Cities in India.  The biggest feature is that it is very messy. If you accidentally step on the cow dung on the ground, there are too many people. As soon as Mudor and the others enter the city.  After wandering for a few times, he blended into the crowd and disappeared.  ¡ª¡ª.  March 2nd, midnight.  It had been five days since Mudor entered the city. After marching for several days, Feng Tang's advance troops finally arrived at the outskirts of Daro City before dawn.  The night is freezing.  The soldiers of the Qin Army ignored fatigue and marched with high intensity in the dark night, in a place where they were unfamiliar with their lives.  Being left behind means death. Once the yellow man's face is exposed, no matter how slow the Indians are, they can still react.  This must be the work of the Qin people.  According to the agreement with Mudor, three o'clock in the morning today is the time to launch an attack on Darrow City. At that time, Mudor and others set fire to the city, while Feng Tang and others responded outside the city, and the two forces met.  The location was chosen at the Sunga people's supply camp in the east city of Daro City.  As a transit point, the baggage of Daro City is the main supply point for the Sunga people in the Indus River Basin. If Feng Tang and others can burn and destroy these baggage, not only the guards of Solomon Pass, but also the Suleiman Mountains will be affected.  Troops on the front line will encounter supply difficulties.  If you want to do it, do it big time.  From the moment Feng Tang stepped into the Indus River Basin, he put his life and death at risk. For him, going deep behind enemy lines alone, no matter what he did, he might encounter danger. If he was cautious, he might be discovered by the enemy.  In this case, it's better to make a big fuss.  ? ??¡ª.  In the city of Daro.  On the quiet street, there was no sign of anyone. Only the cattle that were led at the intersection were gnawing on dry grass roots, trying to accumulate more nutrients in their bodies to cope with the secretion of milk at dawn.  Not far from the dairy herd.  It is the place where the Xunjia people store their baggage. Different from the various armors, weapons and food in the Qin army, the so-called baggage place of the Xunjia people mainly consists of food, that is, all kinds of cakes. Of course, it is absolutely indispensable.  He is a fan of Gali. On the contrary, he does not have many weapons, mainly wooden spears and crossbows.  Mudor had a sullen face and carefully counted the number of his subordinates, fearing that one or two were missing. He was not afraid that his subordinates would be in any danger, but was worried that the plan would be leaked and play a black tiger role in the enemy's city.  This is a trick that only Qin people can be so crazy about.  "Brother, everyone is here, and there is no one left behind." A thin Persian man in charge of counting came to Mudor and reported in a low voice.  "Okay, brothers, hold the guys. When the fire breaks out, we will fight out from the east gate. General Feng is already waiting there." Mudor ordered.  The flames flickered brightly in the blackness of the night.  More than a hundred people in Mudor spread out holding torches, and a long dragon passed by, immediately setting the wooden baggage house full of fodder, wood, and food on fire.  In just a moment, the fire became monstrous.  When Mudor and others saw that the fire was already in progress, they did not stop. They quickly ran towards the city gate, shouting as they ran: "It's on fire, it's on fire, go put out the fire!" In the middle of the night, people were sleeping.  The most mature time.  The Indians in the city heard someone shouting about a fire in the haze. They ran out hurriedly, and then ran towards the fire carrying barrels and other items to put out the fire.  There was chaos in the city.  The missionary who had just fallen asleep was woken up from his sleep by the attendant. He hurriedly put on his robe and came out. When he looked up, he saw that half of the sky in the east of the city had burned into a fiery red. Not only was the baggage area ablaze, but also the entire area in the east of the city.  Houses were also affected, and the shouts of displaced civilians could be heard from time to time.  "Hurry up and organize manpower to put out the fire. Don't let the fire reach the west of the city." The missionary shouted angrily.  In Indian cities, slum areas and rich areas are completely separated. The east area of ??the city is dominated by poor people. The houses are simply made of wood, and it is easy for continuous fires to occur.  "Also, what's going on with this fire? Go and find out, especially those Buddhists" Chaiyou has been an official in the Maurya Dynasty for many years and has no shortage of experience. In his heart, he has already faintly  Thinking about it, this fire was a bit inexplicable. If no one set the fire deliberately, there would be no such big fire.  "However, as a civilian official, Chaiyou's military acumen is much lower. There is only one target he can think of, and that is the powerful Buddhists who were brutally suppressed by him.  He never imagined that when the Suleiman Mountains were blocking the way and the Solomon and other passes were still in their own hands, the Qin army would boldly send a surprise force deep into the city of Dala.  The messenger made a mistake in judgment.  It gave Mudor a chance to leave the city.  After discovering the fire, the soldiers guarding the city hesitated at first to seal the city gates to prevent suspicious people from escaping. Later, they learned from their missionaries that the fire might have been set by Buddhists.  Based on this, the guards began to focus on hunting down the Buddhists. As for the guys like Mudor who looked like Persian refugees, they simply waved their hands and expelled them from the city.  So what if we don¡¯t expel?  After this fire, the food in the city of Daro will be very tight. The residents in the city will not have enough to eat, so how can they have any leftover to entertain these down-and-out Persian neighbors.  The Persians set fire to and looted the villages outside the city. The soldiers guarding the city could pretend not to know about these things, but if such an incident happened inside the city, they would be responsible. If a conflict broke out, it would be difficult to deal with.  Feng Tang waited outside for a long time. He originally planned to storm the city gate, and the Qin army generals who cooperated with Mudor and others to fight inside and outside were surprised to find that Mudor came from India openly.  The soldiers left the city under their noses.  "Mudor, you and your people will work hard again to reconnoiter the situation of the Xunjia Infantry Regiment. We will follow behind and find a suitable place to ambush them." Feng Tang's face flickered in the firelight.  A kind of severe and mysterious aura.  The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly.  Feng Tang temporarily changed his mind.  In the city of Darrow.  There is only one Indian infantry regiment, and another infantry regiment is stationed in the city.In this area, after learning this important information from Mudor, Feng Tang made a prompt decision and chose to give up attacking the worthless Darrow City and instead raid the Indian infantry unit outside the city.  Only annihilating the enemy's effective forces is the best way to protect yourself. On the contrary, even if the Qin army succeeds in attacking an enemy town like Daro, it is impossible for the Qin army to occupy it for a long time. Moreover, due to the panic of the residents in the city,  The Qin army may also fall into a civilian war.  PS: Continue to ask for monthly tickets and support.
