Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 662 Breaking through Lishi Fortress!

In the dark woods under the hazy moonlight, the army is resting and marching continuously, which has already made the soldiers of the Qin army feel tired.

It was the Qin army's custom to order the army to rest before attacking.

After all, only the Qin army at its peak can be invincible.Moreover, the military achievements of the Qin army are not only related to the number of enemy heads, but also to their own casualties.

……

Lishi Fortress is also the gateway to the northwest of Wei State, where the most elite Wei army gathers, and Lishi Fortress is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is a battleground for military strategists.

At this time, even the general Wang Ben did not dare to underestimate him.

At the same time, looking at the sixteen commanders in front of him, Wang Ben pointed to the map in front of him and said.

"Everyone, this is Lishi Fortress, only a hundred miles away from our army!" A sheepskin map was hung on a thick tree trunk, and a torch was swaying in the hand of Sima of the Chinese army beside the tree.

Standing under the tree, Wang Ben circled the map with his long sword, and quickly conveyed orders one after another.

All of a sudden, hearing the military order from General Wang Ben, all the generals couldn't help straightening their chests.They all knew that following Wang Ben, as long as they survived, they would have meritorious service.

Different from the excitement of the soldiers, Wang Ben's voice was low and short at this moment, and he paused every word, saying: "Our army will conquer ten cities in ten days!"

"Including the other two armies that are about to attack, Jiexiu, Wuxian, Zishi, Qi, Genyang, Yuci, Langmeng, Lin, Gaolang, and Lishi."

"That is to say, within ten days and nights, our army must start from the south of Taiyuan County, go northward in a big circle, encircle Jinyang with three armies, and destroy Wei State in one fell swoop."

"After the city was broken in this battle, the army did not stop, and did not plunder except for food and grass, and broke Jinyang in one fell swoop! Tell this general, do you understand?"

"Yes!"

The sixteen commanders, including the crown prince Yingzhi, let out a low growl, and then quickly returned to silence.For this battle, almost the whole army is single-minded.

They knew in their hearts that the task could only be completed if Wei was destroyed. After all, when the army set off, the strategic mission issued by Hu Hai was to destroy Wei.

As invincible fighters of the Qin Dynasty, they were naturally unwilling to disappoint the second emperor.

Seeing the excitement on the faces of the sixteen commanders at this moment, Wang Ben nodded in satisfaction, and ordered decisively, "At dawn, attack Lishi first, order the army to eat, and advance in half an hour!"

"Yes!"

Nodding in agreement, the commanders hurriedly dispersed.They knew in their hearts that there was no time to wait, they had to eat urgently, and then they were ready to go.

Half an hour passed by in a hurry, and among them, [-] knights had completed various tasks such as cold eating, feeding and brushing horses, and repairing harnesses and weapons.

Today's Qin army cavalry has already prepared everything, and can't wait for a hearty war.

"General, there is news from the Black Ice Terrace that all the spies and scouts have been wiped out within half a day, so we can guarantee that the news of our army will not be leaked!" Sima of the Central Army hurried over and said to Wang Ben.

"Ok!"

Nodding his head, Wang Ben said, "If the opponent doesn't notice, we can use less strength, and the soldiers will die less!"

Speaking of this, Wang Ben swung his sword and said: "The general ordered the army to set out——!"

"Yes!"

Since the army set out, it was necessary to ensure that the enemy did not understand the reality of the Qin army. The soldiers of the Qin army were careful not to disturb the people in the Lishi fortress.

……

The Qin army has always been well-trained and super powerful in action. Under the order of the general Wang Ben, the army was dispatched quickly.

Along the way, the army waited cautiously until all the army rolled out of the valley, and the morning star was still shining brightly in the sky.

At the same time, at this time, just as the gate of Lishi Fortress was opened, a storm suddenly descended.

"kill……"

Before the generals of the Wei army who had just opened the city gate could react, they were caught off guard by the sudden arrival of the Qin army.

In just a moment, the city gate was lost!
"The army forms an array to hide and kill—!" After capturing the city gate, Wang Ben ordered categorically, said.

As the commander-in-chief of the army, Wang Ben did not personally participate in the fight this time, he just dispatched and commanded in the middle.

Because he knows that in such a war, whether he participates in the fight or not, the result is already doomed, and his military exploits have reached the peak.

Therefore, Wang Ben consciously reduced killings, and he didn't want to go to the point where he and Hu Hai would meet each other.

When a general reaches the step of being unsealable, he is looking for death.In the Great Qin Empire, there was a twentieth-level military title system, and his title of Lord Wu'an was already top-notch.

There are no kings in the Great Qin Empire, so even if he has made great military achievements, he will not be crowned king. In this way, Wang Ben at this moment is almost equal to being unsealable.

It's just that this is a troubled time, and Wang Ben has no hesitation in order to win.

"puff!"

With a long sword, Ying Zhi killed a soldier of the Wei army, and quickly rode his horse deep. On both sides of him were soldiers of the Qin army to clear the way, and Ying Zhi only had to charge forward.

The training for more than five years has come into play today. Yingzhi rushed from left to right, and entered the land of no one among the Wei army.

At this moment, the stunned Wei Jun didn't know how to fight back, but retreated again and again.A moment later, when they came to their senses, there was no room for a counterattack.

In this battle, Wang Ben's light cavalry divided into four groups and stormed the four city gates at the same time.The defenders at the top of the city were sleepy, and just as they lowered the suspension bridge, the Qin army quickly rushed out.

In the final analysis, Wei Guo was too negligent towards the Qin army, thinking that peace could be truly achieved after signing the covenant, so that the defense of Lishi Fortress was a little lax.

……

"My lord, the Lishi Fortress has been completely controlled. Of the [-] Wei troops, [-] were killed, and the rest of the army surrendered..."

"Our army is cleaning the battlefield..."

Glancing at Sima of the Chinese army, Wang Ben was silent for a while, looking at the rising sun, he ordered decisively, and said.

"Send an order to control the Lishi Fortress, and at the same time break up the surrendered army into our army, and rest in the Lishi Fortress for a day!"

"At the same time, I ordered the general of Lishi Fortress to send a letter to Lincheng and Gaolang immediately. He will patrol the city in a day's time!"

"Yes!"

Nodding in agreement, Sima of the Chinese army walked out with a look of admiration on his face. He knew in his heart that with Wang Ben's strategy, Lin and Gaolang would break through overnight.

They went down to Lishi Fortress without bloodshed. This battle was really well fought.Breaking through a Lishi Fortress is equivalent to breaking through three cities in one fell swoop.

Even if Sima Ming of the Chinese army knew Wang Ben's sharpness, he still felt a huge shock at this moment.

This is the famous general!
One step counts as three steps, and there will always be surprises!
