Fantasy: Prince Peerless, Conquer the Heavens!

Chapter 16 Attack another city

"Wang Kui, you will lead the troops this time to stop the Qin army from attacking. I have already secured support from the other five countries. I hope you can learn from Pang Juan's lesson!"

Regarding the minister's lack of cooperation, Emperor Wei ordered irritably. Staring at a general in the front row, it was not difficult to hear a hint of threat in his tone.

What will be Pang Juan's fate?

After the defeat, everyone in the family was executed.

The implicit meaning of this sentence is that only victory is allowed and failure is not allowed.

"Your Majesty, the last general takes orders!"

Wang Kui trembled and wanted to refuse, but seeing Emperor Wei's expression, he did not say anything.

He had a strong feeling that if he refused, it would probably not end well.

But after taking over the task, he felt deep regret in his heart. The battle of Anyiguan destroyed most of the elites of Wei State. In addition, there were no dangerous passes to defend the thousand-mile boundary from Anyiguan to Yecheng.

The right time, the right place and the right people have already passed.

How to fight?

With mixed emotions, Wang Kui began to mobilize his troops. The main soldiers came from the surrounding four counties, forming an army of two million, and left Yecheng in a mighty manner.

But soon, they encountered a problem: where should they stop the Qin army?

"Send the order, go to Pengcheng!"

After staring at the map for a long time, Wang Kui made a difficult decision. From a strategic point of view, Pengcheng did not have any geographical advantages, but compared with other cities, it had an extra moat.

For Wei Jun who was stalling for time, it was undoubtedly the best choice.

Hexi City, three hundred miles away from Anyiguan, is already the belly of the Wei Empire. The blood on the city wall is covered with banners of the Qin Empire, fluttering in the wind.

In the spacious palace of the city lord, Qin Wudao sat at the top, Jia Xu stood on the right, Wang Jian stood on the left, and the other generals were behind them.

Everyone's faces showed joy.

After entering the Wei Empire, they captured more than a dozen cities. Except for Hexi City, the defenders of other cities were so frightened that they opened the city gates and surrendered.

"Your Highness, urgent military report!"

A scout walked in steadily, handed over a report, and reported: "According to the scout's investigation, Emperor Wei appointed Wang Kui as general and led an army of two million to station in Pengcheng!"

"Explore again!"

Qin Wudao looked at the scouts and said calmly.

Even if there is no battle, he is still wearing spiritual armor and a sword on his waist, filling the void with sharp energy.

The scout saluted and left. Qin Wudao and the generals present began to ponder, thoughtfully.

They also knew that the Wei Empire would send troops to stop them and would not put the battlefield in Yecheng. After all, Yecheng was the imperial capital and carried the destiny of an empire for hundreds of thousands of years.

"Your Highness, Pengcheng is a large city located on a plain. It is a central city with a radius of hundreds of miles. If we want to attack Yecheng, we must first capture Pengcheng and use it as a temporary base!"

After thinking for a while, Jia Xu spoke first, making everyone nod.

The people who can stand in the main hall are all the elites of the millions of troops. Not to mention their strong ability to lead troops, they still have basic eyesight.

"In that case, let's set out with the entire army and try to occupy Peng City before reinforcements arrive!"

Qin Wudao nodded and ordered in a deep voice.

Early this morning, he received an order from Emperor Qin, asking him to cooperate with Bai Qi to destroy the Wei Empire.

In this case, let's clear the obstacles to Yecheng before Bai Qi arrives.

Of course, what Qin Wudao cares about the most is that after conquering Yecheng, he can get the system's sign-in reward.

According to the definition of the system, if the capital is destroyed, the country will be destroyed!

After resting for a day, Qin Wudao left 20,000 men to garrison Hexi City, and led more than 900,000 soldiers to march towards Peng City. Wherever he passed, the weather was calm and there was no obstruction by the Wei army.

After learning that the Qin army was dispatched, Wang Kui ordered to gather the troops from the surrounding cities and defend Peng City to reduce unnecessary casualties.

Three days later, the Qin army rushed to the outside of Peng City with overwhelming momentum and everyone's morale was as high as a dragon. Compared with half a month ago, they were completely different.

After experiencing the Battle of Anyiguan and killing millions of enemies, they have transformed from ordinary soldiers into an elite army.

The battlefield is always the best teacher.

If you can come out of the battlefield alive and ride the waves, you will become stronger.

"What a powerful army!"

On Peng City, Wang Kui looked at the Qin army. After sensing the strong strength, his heart trembled, his brows knitted tightly together, feeling heavy pressure.

"General, what should we do next?"

The lieutenant asked, holding his weapon tightly, with worry on his face.

"Be on guard!"

Wang Kui didn't have a good idea, so he said one word at a time, passive defense is the last resort in a battle.

"Send the order, set up camp where you are, make a fire to cook, and launch the attack tonight!"

After looking around Peng City for a while, Qin Wudao knew what was going on and showed a bloodthirsty smile. Apart from a moat, this city was not much different from an ordinary city.

With the strength of the Qin army, there is not much pressure to capture it.

However, the most urgent task is to let the soldiers have a good rest, eat a good meal, and refresh themselves so that they can kill the enemy happily at night.

On a starry night, the waning moon hung in the sky, and the stars were dim and obscured by dark clouds overhead. However, in Peng City, the lights were brightly lit, and groups of soldiers patrolled back and forth.

"kill!"

Suddenly, a thunderous sound exploded in the void.

Qin Wudao pulled out the Xuanyuan Sword with great momentum and gave the order to attack. His face was cold and murderous.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The first one to rush out was the Great Qin Iron Cavalry. Their blood-red armor was filled with red evil aura, which was very terrifying. In successive battles, their strength broke through one after another, and most of them advanced to the real-person realm.

Real-life warriors are not common in the armies of the Six Nations and can serve as commanders of thousands.

It can be imagined how powerful a legion composed mostly of real-life warriors is, and when put on the battlefield, it is a killing weapon.

"defense!"

"Archers prepare, shoot!"

Wang Kui had been standing on the city wall, watching every move of the Qin army. When he saw the Qin cavalry charging towards him, he hurriedly gave orders.

咻咻咻～

Countless arrows pierced the air, making a harsh sound, forming a shower of arrows, falling densely.

"Set up formation, block!"

The bodies of the more than 40,000 Qin Iron Knight soldiers were flashing with blood, forming an impenetrable defensive shield that blocked the arrows.

After a hail of arrows, he was unscathed.

"hiss!"

Wang Kui took a breath, knowing that the attacks of ordinary soldiers were ineffective, so he prepared to mobilize those who were strong at the real level or above.

At this moment, he saw eighteen figures coming out of the air, crossing the moat, condensing a sword energy above their heads, mixed with powerful aura, and landed on the city gate with a crash.

The strong city gate was torn apart, revealing the dark city cave.

"not good."

Wang Kui's complexion changed drastically. If the city cave was breached, Da Qin's cavalry would be able to attack the city, and the little geographical advantage they had would be lost.

"Jiujiu, Lao Qin, fight against the national calamity together! Kill, kill, kill!"

The overwhelming Qin soldiers then launched an attack. They carried bamboo ladders on their shoulders, put them on the moat, and rushed into Peng City.

Soon, the flames of war spread into the city!

This made Wang Kui's heart instantly sink to the bottom, as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss, and became completely cold.
