Chapter 42: Two-way Sweeping Peacock
If no generals under his command dare to respond during the battle, that would be the king's sorrow!
Ye Huai said in a deep voice:
"This time I attacked the Mauryan Dynasty, I decided to divide my troops into two groups!
The first road, led by me and Zheng He, went directly up the Ganges River and rushed to the Peacock Capital of the Peacock, located on the banks of the Ganges River.
The generals of this route led 50,000 Beiwei Army, 50,000 Longbow Warriors, 50,000 elite navy, 101 treasure ships, and 7 generals including Qi Jiguang and Deng Zilong followed.
The pioneer of this road is Yu Dayou.
The second route, led by Liu Rengui, attacked the major cities in the Ganges along the Ganges River.
The generals of this route led 30,000 Beiwei Army, 30,000 magic weapons in the magical shooting, 30,000 elite navy, 50 treasure ships, and Zhou Yu and other remaining generals followed.
The pioneer of this road is Zhou Yu.
In addition to Fang Xuanling, Li Shanchang and Guo Jia, the three civil officials followed me and Zheng He's army, while other civil officials followed the second army."
"Yes, the Overlord!!!" All the civil and military officials in the Political Consultative Hall clasped their fists and said in unison.
Then, the civil officials and generals left the Supreme Treasure Ship and returned to their respective ships in small boats to preside over the affairs.
...
When the Overlord Fleet drove to the mouth of the Ganges River, the fleet was immediately divided into two.
Ye Huai and Zheng He led the way to the Peacock Kingdom's capital, Huafa City; Liu Rengui led another army to the Manto City.
When Liu Rengui's fleet arrived at the port of Manto City on the riverside, all the ancient Indians wrapped in cloth bags on their heads were shocked and stunned.
They had never seen such a huge ship like a castle, and their fleet was as large as this.
What's more, they knelt down and kowtowed to the giant ship heading towards the dock while talking.
Then, many people knelt down and chatted non-stop.
Liu Rengui, who was standing on the bow of the treasure ship, saw this scene and said to a young man beside him: "What are they talking about?"
This man is a translator trained by Zheng He and is well-versed in ancient Hindi.
Zheng He went to the West seven times and learned a variety of languages, including ancient India.
After he came to the world of Chu and Han to fight for hegemony and was loyal to Ye Huai, he learned that he would help the domineering emperor dominate the world in the future, so he began to focus on cultivating language talents.
In the past year, Zheng He has trained hundreds of talents who are proficient in ancient Hindi, Babylonian, and Ancient Egyptian.
"Report to Liu Shuai, the ancient Indians said that the gods came to Manto City! They were praying to the gods! Pray for peace!" said the young translator.
Liu Rengui nodded when he heard the sound, and his eyes with the light of wisdom began to move.
At this moment, a soldier from Manto City appeared at the dock. They looked panicked and immediately sounded the horn to warn.
"Ship Liu, the soldiers of Manto City are warning!" said the young translator.
Liu Rengui already understood the intention of the soldiers in Manto City. He said: "Let all ships be prepared for combat and aim the muzzles in unison at the direction of the dock."
The commanders immediately blew the flags, and the fleet turned around, and the red-clothed cannons on the side aimed at the dock.
Of course, Liu Rengui was not ruthless against the ordinary people here, but against the army of Manto City.
As he expected, half an hour later, a large number of Manto City troops arrived at the dock, and the people here were dispersed, and the archers pointed their arrows at the ships.
There were also a castle, which was aimed at the fleet.
At this moment, an ancient Indian, who looked like a general, rode forward on a horse and shouted loudly in the direction of the fleet.
"What did he say?" Liu Renguidao.
The young translator said: "That man is the general guarding the city of Manto City. He said this is the territory of the Mauryan Dynasty. Let Liu Shuai lead the fleet away immediately, otherwise, he will use force against us!"
"Try force against us?"
