Chapter 132: Reversal of Defeat
Then Ashoka looked at the battlefield in the distance with horror, and saw that when the two sides were about to collide, thousands of preachers began to leap up one after another, and the long swords in their hands kept sweeping across the necks of the Maurya cavalry.

Streams of blood splattered out as their figures flew rapidly. The war elephant cavalry and war horse cavalry fell one after another, leaving them no time to react.

Even if several of them happened to block the preachers who were rushing over, their javelins and spears could not pierce the golden light on the preachers' bodies.

Ding, ding, dang, countless sparks flew. The cavalrymen who raised their javelins and spears to fight back failed to achieve any success. The next moment, their necks were cut open, and countless blood gushed out.

“They are not human!”

“Run!”

“They are protected by the gods, and we can’t kill them.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers and generals of the Maurya Empire were horrified and then collapsed like a landslide.

When more than 200,000 people started to make a mess, it was like a mountain torrent or a tsunami. Countless densely packed heads were moving around, thousands of war elephants were running around in panic, and a large number of war horses were neighing and starting to charge.

At this time, the most unlucky ones were the nearly 200,000 Maurya infantrymen. The defeated crowd rushed towards them, and countless people were squeezed and trampled, and countless screams and wails were heard.

The so-called defeat is like a mountain collapsing. The panic caused by defeat often accounts for a large proportion of casualties on the battlefield.

"kill!"

"Shoot them through!"

Seeing the Maurya Empire's army being defeated, tens of thousands of Qin soldiers waiting behind them raised their spears and shouted loudly. Then a black torrent like a sharp sickle began to harvest these remnants of the defeated army.

The joining of the Qin army caused the Maurya Empire's army to be defeated even faster.

Seeing this scene, Ashoka's eyes widened in disbelief.

His invincible army that dominated all directions was actually defeated just like this?
"They are coming to kill us."

"King, run."

At this time, the magnificent chariot at the rear of the army naturally attracted the attention of many registered disciples of Hidden Immortal Peak. After killing their way through the army in front, they began to charge towards King Ashoka in the distance.

Seeing this scene, the generals around Ashoka were horrified and hurriedly urged the chariot to escape.

Ashoka then woke up as if from a dream, abandoned his chariot, climbed onto a war horse, looked at the thousands of preachers who were approaching him quickly with a complicated expression, suddenly turned the horse's head and kicked the horse's belly.

Suddenly the warhorse neighed and ran away at full speed.

Not only Ashoka, but also many generals around him followed him and left.

"Stop them and kill them!"

Several of Ashoka's confidants raised their spears, their faces were cold and they shouted angrily. In an instant they led thousands of cavalrymen to rush forward to stop and delay the preachers.

Thousands of war horses roared out, but were quickly slaughtered in an instant. However, these ten or so breaths were enough for Ashoka and others to escape for a distance.

This war was destined to cause a sensation in the entire Maurya Empire and other surrounding Central Asian countries.

The Maurya Empire was defeated, and it was defeated completely. Nearly half of its troops were completely destroyed. Ashoka fled south in a panic, shocking almost everyone. This shock was no less than the sudden appearance of an army of tens of thousands of people from outside the country, defeating the Qin Dynasty that unified the six kingdoms, and tens of thousands of people against more than 200,000 enemies.

This kind of thing shocked the entire Maurya Empire and was unbelievable.

But at this time, the Qin army had already conquered Tocharistan and marched straight into the heartland of the Maurya Empire.

At the same time, Ashoka, who had just fled back to the capital of the Maurya Empire, Pataliputra, heard a terrifying and horrifying piece of news.

"What are you talking about? The Qin army from the far east has also appeared in the east? And there are also many preachers?"

When talking about the preachers, Ashoka's whole body shuddered slightly, recalling the horror of those preachers that day.

During this period, as many tribes in Southeast Asia were conquered by the Qin Dynasty, more than half of the 500,000 troops originally stationed in Lingnan began to be transferred to Southeast Asia for garrison.

In other words, there are now more than 200,000 troops in Southeast Asia, and several thousand registered disciples of the Hidden Immortal Peak.

When he first occupied this place, he started to build temples to preach, and even displayed some magical skills occasionally. He quickly conquered the local people and made them believe in the existence of the Taoist Master.

In addition to leaving behind a thousand registered disciples from Hidden Immortal Peak to continue teaching and maintain the faith formation in Southeast Asia, there were also about 100,000 Qin troops stationed there.

The remaining hundreds of thousands of Qin troops and thousands of registered disciples of Hidden Immortal Peak continued to expand westward.

In fact, we have been exposed to information about the Maurya Dynasty during this period of time, otherwise the news would not have reached Peicheng so quickly and been announced to the world in the official newspaper.

However, according to the information we have gathered, there were many religious sects within the Maurya Empire, and because the dynasty was at its peak, it was very hostile to foreign religions and even expelled them.

After preliminary probing, they showed no sign of change, which led to the Qin army of over 100,000 soldiers and thousands of missionaries approaching the border of the Maurya Empire.

"This is a conspiracy. This is definitely a conspiracy by the great country in the far east against our Maurya Empire. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that they attacked us from both sides?"

"They really seem to be blessed by gods, invulnerable to swords and guns, and can leap and fly. How can we fight this battle?"

"Buddha, please show your power quickly, otherwise how can we defeat the other party's followers who have shown their power to help us?"

Not only Ashoka, but many officials and generals of the Maurya Empire in Pataliputra were already frightened and their faces changed drastically.

But facing such a situation, unless the Buddha appeared, what other methods could be used to reverse the defeat?
An army of more than 200,000 was even directly killed by thousands of preachers. Even if the Maurya Empire still had nearly 300,000 troops, what could it do?
A group of thousands of preachers could crush the remaining army of the Maurya Empire. At this time, a new group appeared in the east. In this case, what hope is there for them to survive?
"Could it be that the Maurya Empire, which prospered under my leadership, will also fall completely under my leadership?"

Even a powerful ruler like Ashoka could not help but feel despair in the face of this situation.

Next, whether it was the Qin army that continued to move south or the Qin army that moved west from Southeast Asia, they did not encounter any obstruction.

When they arrived at the capital of the Maurya Empire, Hualien City, the two Qin army units and the registered disciples of Hidden Immortal Peak successfully joined together.

Hundreds of thousands of Qin troops and tens of thousands of registered disciples of Hidden Immortal Peak arrived at Hua City. Only then did they realize what the Maurya Dynasty was up to.

In front of Pataliputra, there were nearly 300,000 Maurya army troops lined up in neat rows, with 10,000 remaining war horse cavalry on one side, and more than 2,000 remaining war elephant cavalry on the other side.

In addition, not far from the Maurya Army, there were tens of thousands of clearly defined groups dressed in strange costumes.
