Chapter 265 The Class Concept of the Maurya Dynasty
Just as the Dayue Clan cavalry were searching around, a dazzling flame suddenly burst out from the direction of the Maurya Dynasty's central army tent.
"What's going on, didn't you tell you not to use rockets?"
Bo Lai was furious immediately, and asked accusingly.
Those silk and satin and glazed lamps, the most valuable items, could not withstand fire.
I don't know how much money I will lose with this fire.
"I don't know, maybe those cowardly peacocks knocked down the torch when they were running for their lives?"
The captain of the personal guard also said with a distressed expression.
"Don't rush over, before the fire ignites, it's a little bit more to grab some!"
Po Lai hopped anxiously.
The Dayue Clan cavalry rushed towards the large tent of the Chinese Army immediately.
After fighting against the army of the Maurya Dynasty for a long time, they all knew that the Maurya Dynasty was also slavery.
Most of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of high-level generals, and the soldiers don't have much money at all.
There is still time for the captive to catch slowly, anyway, it is impossible to outrun a war horse with two legs.
On the contrary, these good things, if they are later, they will really be burned away.
Dazed by the money, Bo Cai and the others did not realize that the flames in the tent of the Maurya Dynasty were getting more and more intense.
When Po Lai found out that something was wrong, the entire camp had completely turned into a sea of flames.
"No, Lord, we have been tricked..."
The captain of the personal guard was the first to react and shouted.
Bo Cai's face was also extremely ugly. Seeing the tents in front of him being engulfed by the fire, Bo Cai was extremely depressed.
He didn't expect that the other party was so ruthless.
I am all cavalry on my side. Although I will lose some in the face of this flood, it is not difficult to rush out.
But the Maurya army in this tent is all infantry.
"Master, let's go, if you don't go, it will be too late."
Seeing that Bo Cai was still in a daze, the captain of the personal guard hurriedly urged her.
"withdraw!"
Feeling that the surrounding temperature was getting higher and higher, Po Cai decisively gave the order to retreat.
It's just that they have already penetrated into the camp of the Chinese army at this moment, and there are raging fires in all directions, so it is not so easy to evacuate.
"Everyone listen to the order, blindfold the horse, and charge me!"
Bo Cai roared angrily, and then, ignoring the others, he slammed the horse with all his strength and rushed towards the sea of fire on his own.
......
"This Peacock King is really ruthless."
"His big fire is simply injuring the enemy one thousand and self-defeating eight hundred. Isn't he afraid of causing mutiny by doing so?"
Zhou Bo looked at the information sent by Jin Yiwei in disbelief.
The fire in the vanguard camp of the Maurya Army killed more than 3000 Yuezhi cavalry.
Even Boca was seriously injured, but the Maurya Dynasty's own people who were burned to death were at least ten times as many as the Da Yueshi cavalry!
If this was placed in Daqin, any general who dared to do this would definitely end up dead.
It is clearly stipulated in the Great Qin Military Law that those who die in the battlefield and cannot be rescued will be beheaded!
The casualty rate is also one of the key points in the assessment of the military merit title system.
Even if he wins the battle, if Moxia's casualties are too high, not only will the leader of the army not be promoted to the title, but he will be punished instead.
This fully reflects how much Daqin cherishes the lives of soldiers.
Of course, these regulations only apply to the soldiers of the Great Qin, the troops of the dependent countries such as the Great Yuezhi, and are not within the scope of protection of this regulation.
"General Zhou doesn't know that this Peacock Dynasty is different from my Great Qin Dynasty. They have a very strict caste hierarchy."
"Every Mauryan Dynasty person was assigned a class when he was born, and the lower caste must obey the orders of the higher caste unconditionally."
"It's the same in the Maurya army. Once you enter the high caste, you will be an officer or even a general. If you are a low caste, no matter how brave you are in the battle, you will at most be a corporal leader or a captain, not even a school lieutenant."
"The lives of these low-caste officers have never been taken seriously by high-caste officers. The so-called casualties are just numbers."
Zhong Limei put down the book in his hand and explained to Zhou Bo.
Since being transferred to Han Xin's side, Zhong Limei began to study the books of the Maurya Dynasty, because he still knows a lot about the Maurya Dynasty.
"This..."
"Are the lower layers of the Maurya Dynasty all soft-bodied? They are so oppressed that they don't resist?"
Zhou Bo was a little stunned when he heard that, in his opinion, this was simply unbelievable.
"They have been brainwashed by religious gods since they were young, saying that the more suffering they suffer in this life, the more blessings they will enjoy after reincarnation in the next life. In addition, all resources are monopolized by nobles and high castes. They can only endure it."
Zhong Limei sighed and said:
"After seeing the tragic experience of the common people in the Peacock Dynasty, I understand how happy the people of Daqin are now."
Zhou Bo nodded approvingly.
Since Ying Yu ascended the crown prince, various decrees have been issued continuously, but he doesn't know about other places.
But he is still clear about the living standards of the people in Pei County.
Compared with before, it is a world of difference.
While the people of the Maurya Dynasty were still struggling at the bottom, the common people of Daqin had already been relieved.
Solved the problem of food and clothing.
The students from poor families are studying the content of the exams in various departments of the court. Once they pass the exams, they will be the real carp jumping over the dragon's gate and directly enter the official class.
The gap between the two is not on the same level at all.
"Don't think about it so much. What we need to do now is to defeat the main force of the Maurya Dynasty. This is the best way to repay His Highness the Prince's kindness."
Han Xin said with a smile: "Although what Zhong Limei said is the truth about the Maurya Dynasty, but this time, Sari Shuka has gone too far. Those monarchs of small countries who were not convinced by him in the first place must be full of resentment at this time."
"As long as we can defeat Sari Shuka on the battlefield, we will be able to completely disintegrate the Maurya Dynasty, and we can gradually eat away at that time."
"What the captain said is true!"
Zhong Limei and Zhou Bo clasped their hands together.
......
Maurya side.
After two days and two nights of hard work and the loss of thousands of hands, the collapsed wooden bridge was finally restored.
And also collected a lot of boats, and set up a few pontoon bridges.
The main force of the Central Army of the Peacock Dynasty, who had been waiting for a long time, also crossed the Peacock River one after another, and was ready for a decisive battle with the Qin army.
