Fantasy: Prince Peerless, Conquer the Heavens!

Chapter 17 Attacking Yecheng

As the starry night turned and the sun rose in the sky, a piece of news instantly spread throughout the Wei Empire at an unprecedented speed.

Last night, Pengcheng was lost, two million Wei soldiers suffered heavy losses, and less than one tenth of them survived.

"Trash, they are all a bunch of trash!"

In the imperial palace, Emperor Wei roared angrily, and a terrifying aura filled the air, making many ministers panic and tremble.

"Your Majesty, you will be punished by death!"

Wang Kui knelt in the center of the emperor's palace, his body covered with scars, his helmet had fallen off somewhere, revealing his messy hair, and he was in a miserable state.

He was so powerful that he saved his life under the protection of his generals. He originally wanted to fight the Qin army, but thinking of his family, he returned to Yecheng with the remaining defeated generals.

Because Pang Juan died and was unable to take care of his family, his entire family was executed.

He didn't want to make the same mistake again. After all, only when people are alive can there be hope.

"You really deserve to die. You lost the city and killed two million troops. Come on, drag me out and behead you in public!"

Emperor Wei gave a tyrannical order. In his opinion, if the war fails, someone must bear the responsibility, and an army commander is the best choice.

Two groups of soldiers came in and dragged Wang Kui down.

During the whole process, Wang Kui did not beg for mercy, and the civil and military officials in the court did not speak.

"My dear friends, what should we do next?"

After the responsibility was traced, Emperor Wei also became anxious. Pengcheng was only more than two hundred miles away from the imperial capital, and the Qin army would be at any time outside Yecheng at dawn or dusk.

Yecheng is the imperial capital, and it is a matter of national dignity and cannot be compromised.

"Your Majesty, the defeats at Anyiguan and Pengcheng have caused us heavy losses and a serious shortage of troops. The top priority is to recruit troops, build city defenses, and resist the Qin army's attack!"

It was a matter of national security. Gongsun Yan came out with a solemn expression and said with clasped fists.

"How many more troops do we have?"

Emperor Wei asked in a deep voice. He also knew that the Wei army had lost the qualification to send troops and could only defend passively. More than four million people died in the battle and almost half of the national power was consumed.

"Your Majesty, in addition to the Imperial Guards, there are only 500,000 defenders in Yecheng. However, I have issued transfer orders to the four southeastern counties, but water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the nearer!"

Gongsun Yan's voice was a little helpless. It was a big joke that the king of a country didn't even know how many troops the country had.

But he had no choice. Who would make the royal family the strongest and have countless heavenly warriors in charge?

"What? So many people?"

Emperor Wei stood up in shock, his face turned pale, and a look of resentment immediately appeared on his face. It was all the fault of Pang Juan and Wang Kui that the Wei Empire, which had millions of mercenaries, only had a mere 500,000 people left.

"Send an order to confiscate Wang Kui's house and exterminate his family. All the money obtained will be used to recruit troops!"

The resentful Emperor Wei issued the order again.

As soon as these words came out, the corners of the ministers' mouths began to twitch, especially the generals, who were terrified. Many people's eyes flashed and they began to seek a way out.

In the past, the Qin army attacked the city, and in the later period, the Wei emperor ransacked their homes and destroyed their families. The generals of the Wei Empire expressed that it was too difficult.

"Prime Minister, you are responsible for recruiting troops. All warriors in Yecheng will be sent to the army. I will personally command this battle!"

Emperor Wei said in a deep voice that he no longer believed in the general's ability and decided to rely on himself.

But is it reliable?

Everyone in the world doesn't know that Emperor Wei was fond of dogs and horses and had no experience in leading troops in war.

A man who doesn't know how to fight goes to fight against the tiger and wolf Qin army.

"See the General!"

Ten miles away from Pengcheng, Qin Wudao led his generals to welcome Bai Qi, who had come from afar. Everyone, including Wang Jian, paid tribute to his descendants.

Although Bai Qi and Wang Jian are both generals, they are separated by seniority. Three thousand years ago, Bai Qi led the army to fight, slaughtered thousands of enemies, and shocked the Eastern Ancient Region. At that time, Wang Jian was not born yet.

"Your Highness, you're welcome!"

Bai Qi hurriedly helped Qin Wudao up. Sensing that the latter's strength had reached the peak of the Dharma Realm, he smiled and said: "His Highness's talent really puts me to shame. It will take at least half a year for him to break through again!"

Wang Jian, Zhang Gan, Montaigne and other generals all took a breath of cold air.

Half a year later, Qin Wudao had just turned sixteen and broke through to Nirvana.

Such talent!

It’s so evil!

Qin Wudao suddenly felt a sour smell in the air. He rolled his eyes and said modestly: "Even if we break through, we are still in the Nirvana realm, and we are still far away from the generals!"

Bai Qi:......

Wang Jian:.

The rest:…

"Your Highness, we advance to the city and issue a plan to attack Yecheng. Time waits for no one. Reinforcements from the other five countries have already set off!"

Speaking of the latter part, Bai Qi's tone became more solemn. Once the armies of the six countries converged, it would be difficult to capture Ye City. Maybe all the previous efforts would be in vain.

When the Qin army attacked, the Wei Empire had no natural dangers to defend.

On the contrary, if the Six Kingdoms attack from Yecheng, the Qin Empire will not occupy the geographical advantage, and sooner or later it will return to Hangu Pass.

"good!"

Qin Wudao nodded and led the way.

The army led by Bai Qi also entered Peng City in a mighty manner. There were 1.5 million soldiers in hand, exuding earth-shattering evil aura. They were all the best among the best.

Among them, the army formed by Bai Qi was the strongest, not weaker than the Qin cavalry at all.

In the city lord's palace, Bai Qi sat on top, Qin Wudao sat on the side, and the other generals stood upright, with impatient expressions on their faces at the thought of attacking Ye City.

"Send the order, Wang Jian is the vanguard and leads the Hangu Pass army to clear out the surrounding cities of Ye City!"

"Qin Wudao led his troops to bypass the rear of Ye City and intercept the vanguard armies of the five countries who came to support him!"

"The rest of the generals will follow me to attack Yecheng. We must capture it within half a month!"

Bai Qi had formulated a combat strategy before he came, and without hesitation, he ordered directly. His cold voice, filled with shocking murderous intent, fell into everyone's ears.

"As you command!"

The generals bowed their hands in salute, with fanatical expressions on their faces.

Waves of murderous aura burst out involuntarily and merged with each other, turning this not-so-wide city lord's mansion into a sinister hell.

war!

Fight! Fight!

The momentum spread, stimulating the morale of the Qin army in the city, and the fighting spirit rioted, soaring into the sky, scattering clouds for dozens of miles, the sky and the earth were shaking, and everything lost its color.

On that day, the Pengcheng garrison was divided into three parts and sent out troops one by one.

Wang Jian led 800,000 soldiers with unstoppable momentum. Before the Wei court could react, he occupied the cities surrounding Ye City and cut off Ye City's connection with the outside world.

During this time, the Wei court was recruiting troops in these cities, and all of them were taken over by the Qin army.

"Let's go too!"

In an inconspicuous small city, Qin Wudao ordered, leading Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry and Da Qin's Iron Cavalry, from the captured city to the back of Ye City, stationed on a small hill, and waited for the arrival of reinforcements from the five countries.

Two days later, he received news that Bai Qi was attacking Yecheng. He had occupied a city gate and was attacking the inner city area.

Yecheng is large enough to be divided into several battlefields.

But judging from Bai Qi's offensive rhythm, sooner or later they will all fall.

It’s just a matter of time!
