Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Wei Shishi stood up and looked at Wei Yunqi with a determined gaze.

"I obey your orders! As long as I am alive, I will never let any enemy troops come!"

Wei Yunqi looked pleased and said, "Okay! Once I capture Varanasi, I will immediately send troops to support you."

Wei Yunqi then looked at the others and spoke solemnly.

"Everyone go down and prepare. The siege will begin in two days!"

Wei Yunqi's army now consists of only 3,000 Shenwu soldiers and 20 new cannons, all of which were sent to Wei Yunqi by Li Yuanji through the navy.

For this siege and blocking, Wei Yunqi allocated two thousand Shenwu troops and ten new cannons to Wei Shishi. In addition, Wei Shishi's army was still equipped with the original two thousand flintlock rifles and ten original cannons.

Two days later, Wei Yunqi personally led the army to march towards Varanasi. This time, the Japanese troops had no intention of fighting in the field and all retreated inside the city.

Wei Yunqi sneered, he knew very well what these people were planning. They were just waiting for the arrival of the army of Kapilavastu and Srivastava, so as to besiege him.

Wei Yunqi could only say that these people had good ideas, and that was good ideas.

When Wei Yunqi's army began to march, Kapilavastu and Sravasti gathered an army of 100,000 and began to move rapidly southward, approaching Varanasi.

On the way forward of the 100,000-strong army, Wei Shishi led 40,000 troops and had already taken position, blocking the way of the 100,000-strong army.

Outside the city of Varanasi, Wei Yunqi led a large army to arrive from afar. After half an hour of preparation, they launched an attack on Varanasi.

The cannons roared first, pouring shells towards the top of the city and the inside of the city. Yuwen Bao's naval fleet on the Ganges also began to bombard Varanasi.

The scenes of the previous bombardment of Hualien City began to be played out again in Varanasi. The Japanese soldiers fled and hid everywhere, and more people were trembling in the corners.

Wei Yunqi watched the explosion on the top of the city wall through a telescope. Even though there had been three rounds of artillery fire, there was still no charge and the artillery continued to bombard the city.

After another five rounds of artillery fire, Wei Yunqi immediately ordered the army to begin attacking the city.

The army charged ahead and launched a fierce attack on the blasted city wall. They were followed by musketeers armed with flintlock rifles, and then the Shenwu Army, who provided fire support for the charging army.

The army rushed into the city and the Japanese troops offered little resistance until they gradually began to resist in the city streets.

But under the suppression of the Shenwu Army, the Jie Ri Army was defeated again and had no desire to resist at all.

Wei Yunqi looked at the army rushing into the city without feeling much joy of victory. It was indeed that attacking the city was now a little too simple, so simple that he could not feel the joy of a great victory.

Although the Japanese troops put up some resistance, it was not strong and Wei Yunqi did not feel any difficulty at all, which made it a bit boring.

In just over two hours, Varanasi was captured, and the Jie Ri troops were either captured or killed. Wei Yunqi, who had complete control of the entire city, immediately led an army of 50,000 to reinforce Wei Shishi.

Wei Shishi's blocking position was still in the midst of a bloody battle. To be precise, Wei Shishi was charging at the 100,000-strong Japanese army with only 40,000 troops.

Wei Shishi mobilized artillery to launch a fierce bombardment on the rear of the Jie Japanese Army, and mobilized the Shenwu Army and musketeers to target the Jie Japanese Army's elephant soldiers. He then mobilized 20,000 troops to launch an attack on the Jie Japanese Army under the cover of artillery.

Originally, Wei Shishi was mainly on the defensive, but his warning to the Japanese army was really useless. After three consecutive charges, they failed to reach his army. Even the Shenwu Army, musketeers, and artillery firepower could not get through.

Seeing this, Wei Shishi immediately launched an attack on the Japanese army and said, "Since you don't come to fight me, then I will fight you."

As the elite elephant soldiers of the Qie Ri Army were defeated and suffered heavy casualties, they began to flee. The rest of the Qie Ri Army lost the courage to resist and began to flee in all directions.

The most elite and powerful troops of the Harsha Army were the elephant soldiers. They were once invincible and victorious in the expansion of the Harsha Dynasty, but now they have lost all their effectiveness.

Elephants are not like war horses and their movement speed is not that fast. It can be said that they are quite slow. They rely on their armor, size, thick skin and strong resistance to beatings. In the absence of rifles, flintlocks and heavy cannons, it is difficult to break through the elephants' defense with bows and arrows alone, causing the elephant soldiers to rampage on the battlefield, with no effective way to deal with them.

But now, under the suppression of rifles and flintlocks, the elephant soldiers could do nothing at all. The elephants were large in size and big targets, and for the Shenwu Army and the musketeers, they were simply slow-moving targets.

Coupled with the bombardment of artillery, the huge noise and the injured elephants running around without listening to the orders of the people on the elephants, the elephant soldiers of the Jie Ri Army were in chaos. Even with the coordination of rifles and flintlock rifles, they could not rush to the front at all.

"kill!"

Wei Shishi led the entire army to start attacking the Japanese troops in Jie. The Japanese troops in Jie fled in panic. The slow ones stayed behind, while the fast ones ran even faster.

Wei Shishi pursued the enemy for twenty miles before finally leading his troops to stop the pursuit.

When Wei Yunqi led his army to arrive, he was also shocked to see Wei Shishi's army carrying rows of prisoners back.

"Shi Shi, how is the battle going here?"

Wei Yunqi looked at Wei Shishi coming to him. Seeing Wei Shishi covered in blood, although he was worried, he was still concerned about the war first.

"General, our army won a great victory in this battle. The 100,000 Japanese troops fled with heavy casualties, at least 20,000 losses. Our army captured more than 30,000 enemy soldiers, as well as various baggage. The specific count has not yet been completed."

Master Wei was full of excitement. He originally came to stop the Japanese army, but he didn't expect that he would become the attacking party. He didn't expect that the Japanese army was still the same as before, without any improvement.

They have fought with the Jie Ri Army many times, advancing all the way from Gaoda Country to here. He thought that the Jie Ri Army realized their own shortcomings. He and Wei Yunqi were extremely solemn about this battle, but the result was like this. Wei Shishi didn't know what to say for a while.

"Well, well done! You fought beautifully in this battle! In this case, I will give you another 30,000 troops, 1,000 Shenwu troops, 1,000 musketeers, and 10 heavy artillery pieces. You will lead your troops to capture Kalpilavastu and Sravasti immediately.

"Capture and occupy Sri Lanka. If the Japanese troops from Kumucheng attack, I will defend it and do not attack!"

Wei Yunqi was extremely happy. He had not expected that the war here would go so smoothly and that Wei Shishi had achieved such a great victory.

According to what Wei Shishi said, the army of Kapilavastu and Sravasti is less than 50,000 now. If he does not take advantage of such a good opportunity to send troops, he will be sorry for the great victory that Wei Shishi has achieved this time.

Wei Yunqi knew very well that Li Yuanji wanted to end the war here as soon as possible. As long as they captured Kapilavastu and Sravasti, only Kusumapura would be left, and the destruction of the Harsha Dynasty would be imminent.

As for the Japanese-Anti-Japanese Army in Patraya, Wei Yunqi was originally worried that the Japanese-Anti-Japanese Army would make targeted improvements and then pose a certain threat to them, but now he is not worried at all.

Xie Shufang was leading an army of 100,000 and was blocking the Jie Ri army of Bolaya there. If he captured it now, as long as Yuwen Bao's naval fleet rushed over, Bolaya would be in their pocket.

By then, all the areas around Kusumu City will be conquered, and the Harsha Dynasty will have no choice but to retreat to Kusumu City. Once Kusumu City is captured, the war for the Harsha Dynasty will be over.

Originally, Wei Yunqi was going to wait for Li Yuanji's army to come and besiege together, and then he would concentrate his forces to capture Kapilavastu and Sravasti. But judging from the current situation, there is no need to do that at all.

Upon hearing this, Wei Shishi immediately agreed excitedly.

"Please rest assured, General. I will definitely capture Kapilavastu and Sravasti and occupy Sravasti. There will be no loss!"

Looking at Wei Shishi, Wei Yunqi was extremely pleased and waved to him. "Go and prepare the army."

Wei Shishi nodded firmly, and the next day he led an army of 70,000 troops to march towards the Jipilavastu.

Fifty miles east of the city of Patraya, Xie Shufang led an army of 100,000 and was stationed there.

Xie Shufang was speechless at this time, expressing his speechlessness and helplessness towards the Japanese army in Bodhgaya.

"These cowards are so afraid of death even on the battlefield. Wei Yunqi's army has already started the attack on Varanasi, but the Viharaya army in Patraya has not made any move.

They have 80,000 soldiers anyway, and they don't even dare to leave the city. They are just trash, even more trash than trash!"

Xie Shufang was furious. He arrived excitedly and started to make deployments, but now the Viharaya Army of Patraya did not move at all, making his work in vain. Xie Shufang felt infuriated just thinking about it.

After being angry for a while, Xie Shufang gradually calmed down. This time he led 100,000 troops here. Intercepting the Jie Ri army in Patraya was secondary. The main thing was to capture Patraya.

Since the Viharaya army in Patraya did not come out, why didn't he take the initiative to attack them?

After waiting for a few hours, a soldier hurried into the tent.

"General, news has come from Varanasi that General Wei has led his army to capture Varanasi, and General Yuwen has led the naval fleet to Boroja."

After hearing this, Xie Shufang was overjoyed. As for the fact that Wei Yunqi also took a few hours to capture Varanasi, he was not surprised at all. With the example of Hua Shi City before, there was nothing to be surprised about.

Xie Shufang was happy that Varanasi was captured by Wei Yunqi, so he could start taking action, especially since Yuwen Bao's fleet had already set out, so he had to hurry.

"Come here! Tell all the troops to break camp and march towards Patraya!"

Xie Shufang led his army to Patraya, and seeing the city built on a high place, he was not worried at all.

If he did not have equipment such as rifles and cannons, he would be more cautious, because the terrain of Patraya is indeed quite good. But now, it is even a question whether the Japanese army can make full use of the advantages of this terrain.

"Has Yuwen Bao's fleet arrived?"

Xie Shufang was not polite to Yuwen Bao at all. They were all old men from the Prince of Qi's Mansion. Others were polite to Yuwen Bao, but he would not.

"General, General Yuwen is ready, and the ship's guns are aimed at the Japanese army."

Xie Shufang nodded, and then moved the artillery position forward again. After all, the terrain of Bolaya was high, and in order to extend the artillery fire backwards, they could only move forward a little.

Later, rockets were deployed in the front army. They had not been used before and were useless, but they had to be used here.

Then Xie Shufang coordinated the Shenwu Army with shield soldiers, spear soldiers, and sword and shield soldiers. Every four people formed a team, ten teams formed a squadron, a squadron was equipped with two small-caliber artillery pieces, ten squadrons formed a battalion, a battalion was equipped with ten small-caliber artillery pieces, ten medium-sized artillery pieces, and fifty rockets.

When everything was ready, Xie Shufang fired a signal flare into the air, and the artillery immediately began to pour shells on Bolaya. At the same time, Yuwen Bao's naval fleet began to bombard Bolaya.

After five consecutive rounds of bombing, Xie Shufang still did not order the army to charge, allowing the artillery to continue bombing, while mobilizing rockets to join the bombing.

Xie Shufang knew very well that the Japanese troops here had the advantage of terrain, and if they didn't bombard the city a few more times, the army attacking the city would encounter great resistance.

Inside Patrayaja, the Japanese troops were constantly under artillery bombardment. Their courage was lost in the bombardment, and they fled everywhere crying. They found a corner to curl up, sobbing silently, listening to the heart-wrenching cries and calls for help, but they covered their ears and dared not to look.

There were six consecutive rounds of bombing, and Xie Shufang immediately ordered the army to launch an attack.

"Order the artillery to extend forward!"

When the front army charged and attacked the city, the heavy artillery began to adjust its angle, extended its fire behind the city wall, and continued the shelling.

The army charged in coordination and quickly reached the city with almost no obstruction, but they still fired rockets again to clear the top of the city wall, and the army then rushed in.

This time, there was no street fighting and the Japanese troops offered almost no resistance. Wherever the army went, the Japanese troops surrendered, crying, shouting, and begging for surrender on their knees.

After conquering Pataraga, Xie Shufang no longer felt excited. Just like Wei Yunqi, he felt really bored.

On the other side, Li Yuanji, after nearly a month of rapid marching, simply abandoned the heavy artillery and took medium and small-caliber artillery, and finally arrived ahead of the 380,000 coalition forces.

"Order all units to rest immediately!"

After arriving, Li Yuanji called Feng Li, Xue Wanche and others and opened the map.

"There is a mountain road here that the enemy must pass through. Now that our army has arrived, they must not know about it. Let's rest for two hours. After two hours, the army will ambush on both sides!"

Despite his absolute advantage, Li Yuanji still did not choose to confront the 380,000 enemy troops head-on.

If you can ambush, only a fool would want to engage in a head-on fight.

After making all the arrangements and waiting for the army to rest, Li Yuanji personally went to the right side to set up an ambush.

Behind him, artillery and rockets were all ready, waiting for the enemy to arrive.

After waiting for a whole day, the enemy finally began to appear in sight.

Li Yuanji looked at the enemy army approaching and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

"Pass the order down, let the enemy's vanguard and front troops go, and attack the enemy's center!"

This time, the ambush had a very long battle line, designed to wipe out all 380,000 people in one fell swoop.

When the enemy's center army slowly appeared and gradually came to the main square, Li Yuanji immediately waved his hand.

The signal flare was launched into the air, and the artillery and rockets that had been prepared in the rear were fired at the same time and fell towards the enemy.

Xue Wanche and Feng Li, who were ambushing on the left and right of Li Yuanji, saw the signal flare and began to attack the enemy's front and rear armies respectively.

The continuous falling of artillery shells caught the coalition forces below off guard, killing and injuring countless people, and everyone was fleeing in all directions.

After five consecutive rounds of artillery fire, Li Yuanji gave an order and the army rushed out and attacked the enemy below.

"Kill!" (End of this chapter)
