The cold wind howled.

Blowing through the pass, in the February season, the cold currents of the northern continent took the initiative. They roared and vented their remaining strength, and then merged into the vast Indian Ocean, becoming an uncertain place in the ocean.

hurricane storm.

On the left side of Solomon Pass, there is a gentle slope. On the lower left side of the slope, there is a depression with an angle of only about 30 degrees. From a distance, it seems nothing special, but if you get closer and look carefully, you will find that

There is actually a cave in the depression. A huge rock covers a large area, and underneath it, due to the erosion of rain and weathering, an empty half-mountain cave gradually appears.

Qiulijin was very lucky. Because of Han Xin's support, he was given the task of attacking the pass again. But this time, he decided to avoid reality and use this depression to make some articles.

Strategy.

It is the most important means to defeat the opponent. After following Han Xin for a while, the Wuhuan people with a straightforward temperament finally learned to use other methods to fight.

Soldiers are hidden in depressions.

This was the plan that Qiu Lijin and his men had thought hard about. However, the area of ​​​​the cave was too small. Even if it was crowded, it could only hide more than ten people. If they wanted to launch a battle to seize the pass with this small force,

It was simply impossible, so the Wuhuan people decided to use the cover of night to dig the cave deeper, so that at least they could hide more than a hundred people.

Digging trenches in winter.

The extremely hard rock and hard soil made Qiu Lijin regret it from the beginning. There was always a big gap between his assumptions and reality, and the Wuhuan people who lacked scientific and technological knowledge were helpless.

Fortunately, at this time, Li Yuan sent Jia Yi to the front army. After hearing about Qiulijin's difficulties, the Chinese army was affiliated to the engineering unit of the Qin State. They sent over special iron excavation tools, such sharp iron tools.

It was originally used for plowing the land in winter. Unexpectedly, this time, it would be used on the battlefield.

The weather in late February.

It is unpredictable. Mount Suleiman is at the intersection of oceanic climate and continental climate. The wind force at the pass reaches level 6 or 7 at night. The sound of the wind tightens at the pass, like a hoarse voice.

It was like a woman with a broken throat moaning helplessly.

The Xunjia soldiers who were in charge of the inspection shrank down and hid as far away from the wind as possible. They would not think about it. Just under their noses, a group of field rats were digging their holes little by little, and then divided them into batches.

For the first time, the troops from the foot of the mountain were transported up. This move was very slow and seemed stupid, because as long as the soldiers above leaned out half of their bodies, they could detect the movement in the depression.

The first night passed when the bowstring held by Qiulijin's hands was about to go numb. Although he was past his prime, Qiulijin's eyes and shooting skills were still extremely accurate.

The eagle on the prairie will never stop flapping its wings even at the last moment of its life. Qiulijin only hopes that the feat of this expedition to the south will give his people a chance to survive.

——.

The eastern foothills of Suleiman Mountain.

The green grass in early spring gradually sprouts tender tips from the hard soil. When the dry season is about to pass, a few light rains after the intersection of cold and warm air currents make the mountains begin to regain their vitality.

Twenty-five kilometers away from Solomon Pass is an unnamed tributary of the Indus River. Due to the sparse forest vegetation on Mount Suleiman, this stream also flows intermittently and has become a seasonal river.

During the dry season, the river bed becomes a passage for traffic, and during the rainy season, it turns into a roaring river.

On one side of the river valley, a team that looked like refugees was marching south along the river valley. This team was none other than Feng Tang and his more than 2,000 elite men.

After two days of grandly circling in front of the Indian defenders at Solomon Pass, Feng Tang, who predicted that the defenders would not move out again, immediately ordered to change his armor, put on a Persian robe, disguised as a group of Persian rebels, and marched towards

Heading into the hinterland of the former Mauryan Dynasty.

"Mudor, where are your people now?" Feng Tang, who seemed to be just avoiding direct sunlight, covered his face with a long scarf, leaving only a pair of eyeballs, plus more than a year of fighting in the Western Regions.

, which makes him look no different from Persians, Daxia people, and Kangju people at first glance.

"General, my people have arrived near Daro. There is an elephant regiment and two infantry regiments of the Sunga people there, about 5,000 people. However, their defenses are very lax and they don't seem to care about our sudden appearance.

!" Persian general Mudor has been living quite a proud life recently.

His team sneaked into the Sindh area in the middle reaches of the Indus River and Daro, downstream, pretending to be Rustam's broken troops, and ruthlessly looted several villages. The Sunga people were quite angry at their banditry, but they

There was nothing I could do for a while.

Rustam not only played a great role in the assassination of the giant chariot by Pushyami Tuo, but also, as the Qin army approached, the Sunga people felt more and more pressure. This

At this time, they desperately hope to have an ally who can fight alongside them.

Originally, the most suitable allies of the Sunga people should be the Baichen people and the Andaro people located on the Deccan Plateau, not only because these two tribes live south of the Indus River, but also because as the three members of the Mauryan Dynasty,

Great pillars, they share a common desire to fight against foreign enemies.

But now, due to the assassination of the giant chariot, the Sunga people, Baicheng people, Andaro people and the declining Magadha people have become incompatible with each other. It is lucky that they do not fight, let alone fight together.

, therefore, the Persians, who were originally not worthy of being on the stage, gained the attention of the Sunga people, and even Mudor, a group of fake defeated soldiers, also gained a lot of freedom.

"Daro is an important city behind the Solomon Pass. If we want to cut off the supply of the pass, we must first disrupt the guards of Daro City. Mudor, do you dare to sneak into the city and then kill people and set fire to cause trouble?

Reply?" Feng Tang thought for a while, a look of determination appeared on his face.

If there is going to be a big disturbance, there will be a big one. Only in this way can the confidence of the Sunga people be shaken and they will be forced to relax their support for Solomon Pass. The lax security of Daro City also moved Feng Tang's heart.

"General, what's so difficult about this? We've been in and out of the city many times in the past few days. Those Sunga people only recognize gold coins and don't care who comes in and out of the city?" Mudor said with a proud smile.

Her curly hair was blown back by the wind, revealing a deep scar on her forehead.

"Well, if you perform well in the mission of attacking Daro City, you and your subordinates will be officially allowed to join the Qin army. This is a promise personally made by His Majesty the Shenwu Emperor. How about it? I'm excited!" Feng Tang

The calm tone sounded like thunder in Mudor's ears.

"General, is this true?" Mudor asked with eyes filled with disbelief, his brown face flushed with red. In the past few days since surrendering to Qin, Mudor has been trembling with fear under the intimidation of the Qin army every day.

In life, if he didn't know much about the power of Qin before, following the Qin army in the Eastern Expedition to sweep India this time, he really felt the power of this powerful country in the east.

Confronting the Qin State, Rustam, this madman, why didn't he die early? If it weren't for his ambition, the Persians would not have fallen to the point where they are now on the verge of genocide. Fortunately, Mudor knew the opportunity

Quickly, surrender to the Qin army early, otherwise, if you continue to follow Rustam, you will be killed one day.

While feeling lucky, Mudor also admired the generals of the Qin Army even more, especially after seeing that there were many soldiers of different races in the Qin Army from Judea, Bactria, Parthia and other places. Since other tribes can, then

Persians can also join the Qin army.

After receiving the order from Feng Tang, Mudor did not hesitate and immediately returned to the temporary station of his subordinates. He wanted to tell the good news to his brothers immediately. Mudor couldn't help but be excited. To know that his team
