Their leaders or lords have all been killed by Ashoka for various reasons. Strictly speaking, they are just a group of cannon fodder thrown on the battlefield without any value.
But if they can get the title of Marquis of Qianhu, that will be the time for them to turn around.
At the beginning of the war, these people rushed to the fortress at the risk of their lives.
After this period of accumulation, the merchant soldiers guarding the fortress have been armed to the teeth.
Everyone has countless weapons and equipment, and some people even prepare two sets just in case of emergencies.
Not to mention other long-range offensive weapons, once enough resources are available, a machine-tool crossbow that can shoot extremely far will be equipped every ten steps.
Moreover, the artillery mines fired on these roads are no longer the ordinary paths before, but specially made artillery mines.
After countless modifications, these things have been greatly reduced in size, and this large crossbow can shoot up to a dozen artillery mines at one time, which can cause large-scale damage to the enemy.
All the stones on the catapult were replaced with cannon mines.
Zhao Rui was standing on the city tower at the moment, looking at the whimpering Mauryan army approaching from the city, with eyes full of ridicule.
Although the opponent's military strength is extremely large and the weapons are extremely advanced, under the leadership of Zhao Rui, Daesheng is no longer a simple empire, but a civilization that surpasses this era countless times.
Under the crushing force of such a civilization, it was only a matter of time before the Mauryan Dynasty failed.
When the enemy army was about to approach the fortress wall, countless artillery mines fell like raindrops.
Earth-shattering explosions continued to sound on the battlefield, with a kind of devastating power. It didn't take long for the vanguard army responsible for attacking the lightning protection to lose most of them, and the rest were so frightened that they fled the battlefield.
Ashoka, who was watching the battle from a distance, saw this scene and his whole body was there.
When Dashang used this kind of weapon for the first time, he thought it was just a coincidence. After all, that kind of weapon had never been used for such a long time. But today, the strange balls falling from the sky were destroyed in the blink of an eye.
He killed tens of thousands of troops.
The vanguard army, which had been full of fighting spirit just now, had no intention of charging at all at this moment. They were all huddled there, not even daring to move.
Ashoka's breathing suddenly became rapid. At this time, he could not care so much and immediately had someone take out the most advanced catapult of the Mauryan Dynasty.
This kind of catapult is made of an extremely advanced type of wood compression. It takes several years to make one, but its range is very long, and the stones it projects can weigh hundreds of kilograms.
It didn't take long for more than 30 complained cars to be moved out.
Zhao Rui happened to see this scene through the telescope. When he saw these carriages, he roughly calculated their range in his mind. He did not expect that the Mauryan Dynasty had such a powerful weapon.
Even if the catapult throws stones, it will cause widespread damage to the soldiers on the barrier.
We must find a way to destroy all the catapults before they attack, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
