Chapter 1469

~5 min read 866 words

The Great Qin soldiers discovered.

The power of the Maurya Dynasty's bows and arrows was very small.

Some soldiers were hit by arrows.

Originally, they thought they were injured.

They were also prepared to be injured.

But what surprised them was.

Those arrows couldn't even pierce the armor on their bodies.

Unless they were shot at the exposed skin without armor protection.

As long as they hit the armor, they were almost fine.

This discovery made the Great Qin soldiers excited.

They also never expected that the Maurya Dynasty's long-range weapons would be so weak.

This discovery made the Great Qin soldiers completely relieved.

The steps of both sides stopped.

That shooting was one round after another.

Until the arrows were exhausted, both sides stopped.

This stop made the battlefield fall into a brief silence.

But soon there were screams one after another.

Most of the sounds came from the Maurya Dynasty great army.

And the situation on the Great Qin soldiers' side was much better.

Because armor and shields blocked the arrows.

There were also some unlucky soldiers and soldiers with bad luck who were hit on the exposed skin.

Or those who were hit in vital parts and died directly.

There were many injured soldiers, but not many dead soldiers.

Conversely, the Maurya Dynasty great army was different.

The situation was exactly the opposite of Great Qin.

With a great army of more than thirty thousand, the number of people shot and killed by arrows was close to one hundred thousand!

This was a terrifying number.

It is estimated that even if the Maurya Dynasty general was beaten to death, he wouldn't have thought that the enemy's long-range bows and arrows would be so powerful.

This point exceeded their expectations, thinking that the other side's long-range weapons were the same as theirs.

They overestimated themselves and also looked down on the other side's strength.

Insufficient awareness, therefore, caused such a heavy price.

All the Maurya soldiers looked blankly at the comrades beside them.

They really didn't expect it to be such a result.

This was also too miserable; just one round of long-range attack and they lost so much.

If they came a few more times, wouldn't the entire army be wiped out?

The screams at the scene were constantly stimulating the soldiers.

The soldiers were also frightened.

So they began to flee in a panic.

Regardless of anything, they ran wildly.

They quickly fled toward the direction they came from.

What war, what resisting the enemy, at this time they didn't want to think about it anymore.

They just wanted to get away from these people quickly.

After all, after just one round of attack, so many people died and were injured.

The number of people on the other side was still more than double theirs.

If they continued to fight, they would certainly all die here.

Therefore, everyone chose to run away.

The difference in strength was too great, and they didn't want to die.

If they couldn't win, they could only run.

Even if there were generals who wanted to stop them, it was useless.

Later on, even those generals began to run.

Fear is contagious, spreading from ten to a hundred.

The cavalry ran fast, and they also began to run.

Just now there were still some soldiers who were not shot and killed.

Now seeing that people were running, they also hurriedly slipped away.

The general responsible for leading this great army saw that the military morale was scattered.

And could no longer turn the tide.

No one wanted to die, it was better to run for their lives.

Finally, even the general responsible for the great army ran away.

He was sitting on a war chariot.

The war chariot was pulled by three warhorses.

The speed of running was much faster than the infantry.

Soon he ran to the very front.

Leading the scattered great army to begin their flight.

Thus—

The entire Maurya Dynasty great army was scattered.

The Great Qin soldiers were dumbfounded.

Originally, after the arrows were shot, it was the turn of the soldiers holding long spears to launch an impact.

But... but the next scene left them speechless.

The Maurya Dynasty soldiers actually ran away!

They hadn't launched a charge yet, and the enemy army actually turned around and ran.

What kind of operation is this?

Can they still run away so blatantly?

At least resist a little bit?

Wouldn't this be too spineless?

Do they still want face?

But thinking about it, it's right, even their lives couldn't be saved.

What do they need backbone for?

Before life is threatened, face is worthless.

Running away is the best policy.

Under the threat of life and death, many people will choose to run away.

Especially in situations where some countries have no cohesion.

This situation is particularly serious.

The current Maurya Dynasty is like this.

Perhaps their king is too cruel.

Under the rule of a cruel king, the soldiers also don't want to sell their lives for him.

When there is no war, they will listen obediently.

Once there is a war, it would be good if they didn't turn against them.
