Chapter 121 Wei Qing's Caution(1/2)
"Master Wuhou, the Han general Wei Qing has led troops to garrison Hanyang City."
A general looked serious.
The battle of Hanyang City is crucial. Once the Blood-coated Army can be defeated head-on, the Han Empire's front line will completely collapse!
Even the elites of the empire were defeated, how could the ordinary troops have the confidence to fight against them?
"This is indeed a tough bone..."
Wang Ben took a deep breath. He had countless battles in his life, but what about General Wei Qing?
The other party is the Marquis of Changping of the Han Dynasty, and he is the Marquis of Tongwu of the Qin Dynasty. It is difficult to distinguish between them.
If this battle is defeated, the Great Qin cavalry will no longer be able to go to the territory east of Hanyang City. Therefore, they have captured four cities in succession in the past few days, and the Great Qin Empire is also continuously sending troops here.
But with 120,000 Qin cavalry facing off against 90,000 blood-coated troops, Wang Ben was still not sure of victory.
Hanyang City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and Wei Qing is well prepared. There are mountains of food in Hanyang City. If he wants to fight a protracted war, Wei Qing can definitely hold off Wang Ben for ten days and a half without any problem.
But after this period of time, the armies of other super empires will probably attack Chang'an City. This is definitely something Wang Ben cannot accept!
In siege warfare, the faster the better.
Not to mention acquiring more enemy land, at least half of his brothers would die in the event of a tug-of-war.
Wang Ben is a man who loves and understands soldiers, and he will never allow this to happen.
"Wang Li!"
Wang Ben shouted at his son.
"Mo will be here!"
Wang Li's eyes were serious, and he seemed to have guessed what his father was thinking.
"This time I ask your ninja army to forcefully break the city. Can you do it?"
Wang Ben’s voice was loud and clear.
"able!"
But both father and son knew that this was no simple challenge.
After this period of fighting, Wang Ben discovered that his ninja army was not invincible. If they were really invincible, these hundreds of ninjas alone could slaughter all the soldiers in Hanyang City.
After suffering enough attacks, the ninja will automatically be destroyed, and then resurrected in the shadow space three days later.
And even if he is resurrected, he will not have the same fighting power as before. He must rest for a period of time before he can gradually regain his due strength.
Wang Ben asked his son to lead the ninja army to charge, and he really wanted to break through the Hanyang City Gate.
But what is the difference between Wang Li's doing this and the death squad?
Hanyang City is different from the previous cities. The city has abundant military strength. Even if the Ninja Legion can attack it unprepared and kill someone by surprise, I believe that it will not take long for the Ninja Legion to be completely wiped out.
As long as it can support the Great Qin cavalry to rush into Hanyang City, then Wang Li's move will be considered a success!
It would be impossible for a 120,000-strong army to rush in easily.
This takes time.
During this period of time, Wang Li can only fight for it on his own...
Wang Li agreed wholeheartedly, but his heart was quite heavy.
He has never experienced a siege war of this level. Once the Ninja Legion cannot complete the tasks assigned by their father, their progress will be greatly delayed.
What Wang Ben's troops lack most now is time!
"Damn it, why did Wei Qing come to Hanyang City in person!"
Wang Ben was also a little angry inside.
"Master Wuhou, please set a time so that the general can prepare."
Wang Li reminded his father again.
Seeing his son going to carry out such a dangerous mission, Wang Ben was definitely worried. However, there was no coward in the Wang family of Great Qin. If they wanted to inherit the honor brought by Shuang Wuhou, they had to make corresponding efforts.
Why was the Wang family able to respond to hundreds of calls in the Qin army?
Isn’t it all about having the courage to fight and fight hard?
Starting from the old general Wang Jian, the Wang family has been adhering to this fine tradition and carrying it forward to the present. Even when it comes to Wang Li, he has been instilled with the corresponding concepts.
Wang Ben stood silent, and many generals focused their attention on Lord Wuhou.
Especially the ordinary generals looked at the Wang family and his son in a somewhat different way at this moment.
Everyone knows that the mission General Wang Li is performing at this time is quite dangerous. If he is not careful, he may die on the spot.
But the father and son still did it without hesitation. This is the spirit of the Qin royal family!
The most dangerous things are always handled by them.
Wang Jian and Wang Ben did it back then, but now I don't know if Wang Li can handle the pressure.
After a long time, I heard Wang Ben take a deep breath.
"We will launch an attack at midnight tonight, Li'er. This battle depends on you..."
When Wang Li heard his father address him, he knew that the other party was worried about his own safety, and he couldn't help but said with a heat on his face.
"Father, please rest assured, even if I risk my life, I will let the Great Qin Cavalry successfully enter Hanyang City!"
…
"General, why are there so many troops stationed inside the west city gate? It doesn't seem to have much effect if the city gate is completely surrounded, right?"
Young Huo Qubing asked Wei Qing. He was the other party's personal guard and also the nephew of General Wei Qing.
If you measure sixteen, you will be able to become the general's bodyguard, and your future will naturally be unlimited.
But now that the Han Empire has suffered catastrophe, Wei Qing only feels that the road ahead is bleak. Even if he successfully resists the Qin cavalry outside Hanyang City, the disadvantages coming from the other three sides cannot be ignored. Sooner or later, the enemy army will
Trampling the city of Chang'an...
Thinking of this, Wei Qing only felt sad.
He was a great general of the Han Empire. Even if he died, he would die fighting for his country, and he would die without regrets!
But he loves this empire so deeply that he doesn’t want the empire named Han to perish... He wants to protect everything in the Han Empire!
"Qu Bing, there is news from the front. I heard that the Great Qin Cavalry is very mysterious and can open the city gate from inside the city every time, so the Great Qin Cavalry can smoothly enter the city to fight."
Wei Qing also obtained the news from certain channels. As for the Black Shadow Legion, Wei Qing did not believe it.
The news was true or false, and it sounded so weird that he felt there was no need to believe it completely.
However, several consecutive sieges were caused by bad things at the city gate, so he had to pay close attention to them.
"so……"
Huo Qubing nodded thoughtfully.
But what he didn't quite understand was that even though the city had been sealed off, how did the Qin army sneak into the city?
What kind of magical means do they have?
This is something Wei Qing can't understand...
"General, it's already late at night. It's just past Haishi, so it's time for the general to rest."
Huo Qubing said very considerately that Huo Qubing was his uncle and he also knew the other person's daily habits very well.
Rest when you need to. There is no need to tire yourself out.
"Qu Bing, let's go to the West Gate."
For some reason, Wei Qing always had a vague uneasiness in his heart.
He directly told him that the West City Gate was quite dangerous. But it was already heavily guarded. Even if some craftsmen sneaked in, they would be killed on the spot. There was no need for him to go there to check. But he could become the first generation of the Han Empire.
A famous general is not only an excellent strategist, he is also a very careful person.
Things that need to be grasped must be considered over and over again.
"General, it's already so late..."
"Let's go!"
Wei Qing couldn't help but wave his hand and walked directly out of the mansion.
The two rode fast horses in the city and soon arrived at the west gate.
Looking around, thousands of Han soldiers in blood clothes are already stationed here.
There are even people standing by the West City Gate all the time. If there is any movement around them, they will immediately take up arms to fight.
Nothing beats the roar of the wind and cranes.
"How many people are here?"
Wei Qing asked the general responsible for guarding the west city gate.
To be continued...
