Chapter 208: Bashu Giant Pit

Under Nan'an City, the general's tent of Zhuluo's army camp.

The general of the Juro Empire, Lahal, the first "Senas" (the large legion), had his eyes lowered and sat on a low bench. The generals of the legions under his command sat cross-legged and arranged neatly opposite him.

There were also several Han and Southern Barbarians sitting next to Lahar. They also sat cross-legged as if they were poisonous. Some of them were captured by the Zhuluo army, and some of them took the initiative to defect to Lahar as a staff member and a translator.

The curtain of the big tent was lifted, and another person came in. It was Rahal's younger brother Dikal, who also sat cross-legged in the crowd silently. At this time, the guard standing beside Rahal had just attached himself and whispered to him: "General, everyone has arrived, you can start."

Rahal then opened his eyes, raised his head and slowly swept to everyone, and then said:

"Now, our army, including the two war elephant regiments that were originally guarding Hongshawaddy and Nanzhong, have been transferred to Shu. The 30,000 Karabola conscripts sent by the Shangwang also rushed over.

From Hongshawadi to Nanzhong, we also used tens of thousands of people to open a simple road of two thousand miles in these months. We were also filled with grain in the granary of the base camp of the Path. And the arrival of midsummer is the favorite season for our war elephants."

Speaking of this, Rahar adjusted his mood and tone and said solemnly: "So now, it's time for us to attack the Han Kingdom. If we take Bashu, everyone here can be the successor. At least they can be the king of the priest. When we gain a foothold in Bashu and grow stronger, we will continue to occupy more fertile and rich land downstream along the river outside the camp. Let Shiva..."

After Lahar talked endlessly, the generals and officers of each legion showed excited expressions. Only Descartes asked with doubts: "General, have you said that the second largest legion is going to be transferred from Mogadha? They won't come to join the war?"

Lahar smiled slightly and said, "His Majesty Karikara, the Supreme King, has agreed to my request. The Second Legion takes over us to garrison and manage Hongshadiwa, and we only focus on seizing new territory."

As soon as he finished speaking, the generals in the tent showed complicated expressions on their faces. Descartes also said in disappointment:

"Hongshadiwa was developed after several years of our largest legion.

There is a large area of ​​land to open eastwards of Hongshadi, and the Funan Kingdom to the southwards. There are a large number of Brahmins there, which is very convenient to rule. Such a piece of fat was taken away by the Second Legion for vain.

But we have to face new enemies that we are unfamiliar with and do not understand. Whether we can conquer them and whether we can effectively rule them is uncertain!"

When everyone saw that Dekar took the lead, although they were afraid of Rahar's authority, they did not give any clear advice to Rahar. However, they all expressed their support for Dekar with low praise and nod.

Rahar Shama smiled coldly and said calmly:

"Everyone, your eyes are too short-sighted. Don't you know how vast the territory of the Han Kingdom is? How fertile the land is? How rich are the resources? Let me tell you, to the east and north, the plain land of the Han Kingdom is comparable to the fertile soil of the Ganges basin. These lands once supported tens of millions of people. More than the entire Jura Empire now. How can this be compared to the uninhabited and smoky jungle in Hongshawaddy? And now, after they encountered a major disaster, the population was less than 10%. Isn't this the opportunity given to us by Lord Shiva? I strive to do this to prevent His Majesty from coming to compete with us!"

After Lahar's words, everyone shut up. Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Lahar ordered:

"We passed our military orders. From today on, we will launch a comprehensive attack on Nan'an and Han'an, and we must take it down within three days. In addition, we will also order the Third Battle Elephant Regiment, the 12th Assault Regiment, and the Seventh Auxiliary Regiment of the Sixth Infantry Regiment to cross Han'an and attack Chengdu City."

The generals in the tent, including Dikar, agreed and each stood up and prepared to go.

Almost at the same time, Feng Yu also held a church meeting in a ruined mansion in Chengdu. In addition to the Liang side, the participants also included some ministers of the former Shu Kingdom. Everyone looked frowning, and they all knew that a large number of Zhu Luo soldiers had entered Shu.

Today, Feng Yu, including the Navy Legion of Ganning, has four legions in front and behind, as well as a large number of scouts and Viking warriors entering Shu. In addition to the local troops left by Shu, there are nearly 40,000 troops in total.

On the Zhu Luo army, according to scouts' investigations, it was estimated that there were about 140,000 total troops. In fact, this number was to count the armed civilians and the Karabola people from the other side. But this made the Han generals think that their troops were only a fraction of the other side, and naturally felt anxious.

In the hall, Feng Yu was calm and composed. He first asked the general who was in charge of the transfer of the people in Shu. After he confirmed that all the people had been placed in Brazil, Badong and Hanzhong, he said confidently:

"Everyone, although the Zhuluofan army invaded our Han territory has a large number of troops, I have prepared a huge trap for them. No matter how many people they come, they will be buried in this big pit that looks like a bottomless pit. This huge pit is the entire Bashu Basin..."

...

Under Nan'an City, another strange rumbling drum sound came, which was the sound of the unique war drums of the Karabola people. After a while, dense Karabola soldiers rushed out of the nearby woodland and rushed towards Nan'an City.

These Karabola people are barbarians living in the tropical jungle of the southernmost part of the Sindu. Because they do not believe in Brahmins, they do not belong to a part of the caste system at all. They are not even the lowest "Dhara" in the caste system, but are untouchables.

Therefore, these Karabola conscripts did not enter the camp of the Julu Army, but instead used local materials to build shacks and set up temporary camps in nearby woodlands.

At this time, countless simple bamboo and wooden ladders were erected on the walls of Nan'an City, almost covering the four walls on Nan'an.

These Karabola conscripts with upper bodies and covered in sackcloth skins held simple weapons and followed the ladder ants.

The north gate of Nan'an City suddenly dropped the suspension bridge, the city gate opened wide, and a large group of war cavalry rolled out from the city, for Xu Rong's heavy iron cavalry. The large group of Shu army infantry were followed by a large group of Shu army infantry.

Lahar never expected that the defenders in Nan'an would suddenly rush out of the city when they launched a large-scale attack. Because the defenders in Nan'an did not give up on Nan'an's intention from beginning to end. They could retreat early, so why should they wait until this time?

Caught off guard, Rahar had no time to mobilize the regular army of the army to block the enemy who broke through.
