Chapter 243 Battle of Chengfu
half a month later.
Li Xin looked at Chengfu, which was so close at hand, with mixed feelings.
What makes me happy is that we have achieved victory after victory in the past half month.
From Pingyu to Yanying, he successively captured eight cities.
Meng Tian led his army to attack Qin. After defeating the Chu army, the two men joined forces and met at the foot of Chengfu City.
What worried him was that everything was going too smoothly, which made him feel a little uneasy.
As a general of the younger generation, he is more aggressive and dares to take risky tactics than the veteran generals. His good family education has enabled him to make great achievements in marching and deploying troops. He will not be the least bit timid when facing famous generals.
This is also the reason why he dared to make the bold statement of leading an army of 200,000 to attack Chu.
The Li family, to which Li Xin belongs, is comparable to the Meng family of generals.
Li Xin had a very famous ancestor named Li Dui. How famous was he? The famous King Wuling of Zhao was starved to death in Shaqiu Palace by him.
After Li Dui's death, the Li family was squeezed out by the State of Zhao and moved to Xianyang. Because the Li family members were brave and good at fighting, they quickly made their mark in the State of Qin. In the fifth generation, they were already generals in the Qin army. In the seventh generation, they served as the prefect of Longxi. In the eighth generation, they served as the prefect of Nanjun. Li Xin was the ninth generation of the Li family.
Li Xin looked at the strong city in front of him, his expression gradually became determined. As long as he could conquer Chengfu and destroy the State of Chu, his achievements would surpass those of his ancestors!
"Meng Tian, you carried a lot of baggage along the way, and you covered it up tightly so that no one could see it. What exactly was inside?" Li Xin looked straight at Meng Tian. "Now that we're in Chengfu, you should tell me, right?"
"It's not that I concealed it on purpose. This matter is of great importance and is related to whether the Chu army can be annihilated in one fell swoop. I hope General Li Xin will forgive me." Meng Tian explained, "The baggage I brought with me includes brand new weapons and the latest explosives developed by the Institute of Gewu."
"Explosives?" A hint of doubt flashed in Li Xin's eyes.
"Explosives are extremely powerful. Once deployed on the battlefield, they will instantly change the situation on the battlefield." Meng Tian pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's find an open area and I'll demonstrate it to you."
boom!
With a loud bang and billowing dust and smoke, Li Xin felt like he was going to go deaf, but his eyes were fixed on the location where the explosives exploded, and a deep pit several meters deep appeared in his sight.
It actually has such lethality! If this is thrown into the enemy's battle formation, the beauty of the scene is simply unimaginable.
"Explosives can be launched with catapults. There is also a kind of gunpowder called thunder cannon." Meng Tian took out an oblong object, pulled its rope, and threw it out. It exploded where it landed. "This is a weapon for individual combat. I have equipped each of the Golden Fire Cavalry with five thunder cannons. As long as the main force of the Chu army appears next time, I can let them learn a lot!"
"Also, you have to remember that the Thunderbolt Cannon has a time limit. If you keep holding it in your hand, you should be aware of the consequences." Meng Tian pointed to a deep pit not far away.
"How many of these things do you have? I want them all!" Li Xin looked at Meng Tian with sharp eyes. On the battlefield, no one knew the strategic value of this thing better than him.
Attacking the city? Wouldn't it be more convenient and faster to just blow up the city wall?
"Don't be anxious, I haven't finished yet!" Meng Tian took a brand new Qin sword from the guard, and then asked Li Xin to give him the sword.
Although Li Xin didn't understand the meaning, he still did it. He saw Meng Tian collide the two Qin swords together, and Li Xin's sword actually broke into two pieces.
Li Xin was about to get angry, but soon realized something. He stared at the Qin sword in Meng Tian's hand, snatched it away, looked at it carefully, and couldn't let it go.
"This sword is mine from now on." He put the sword on his waist with a calm expression.
Meng Tian looked at Li Xin with some amusement, "I still have tens of thousands of such swords."
Li Xin's eyes widened and he looked at Meng Tian in disbelief, but soon his mind started to work and he looked Meng Tian up and down.
You are such a good Meng Tian, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, you actually hid so many things secretly! If I don't strip your trouser pockets this time, I, Li Xin, will not be named Li!
After this, Li Xin learned about a newly developed drug that was very effective for wounded soldiers, but the quantity was limited.
"Before I set out, the Prime Minister personally told me that if this advancement goes smoothly, it is very likely that the Chu army is setting an trap. In addition, Changping Jun may have rebelled against the Qin State." Looking at Li Xin's excited face, Meng Tian poured a basin of cold water on him.
"What!" Li Xin's face suddenly changed. Changping Jun is now in charge of food and grass in Chen Ying. If he rebels, won't they have no logistical support?
No! Li Xin looked at the pile of explosives, and then glanced at Chengfu who was so close.
With the Hundred Forged Swords and explosives, what else did he need for supplies and fodder? Wasn't the State of Chu his best source of supplies?
Killing him can carve out a bloody path!
"Report, General. The food and fodder that Chen Ying was going to transport caught fire for unknown reasons and has been completely burned." A messenger brought an urgent report.
Li Xin nodded calmly upon hearing this and forbade the messenger to pass the news to others, otherwise he would be punished by military law.
If he knew this news before seeing these magic weapons, he would be in great confusion and his army would probably be defeated. But with these magic weapons, he just wanted the Chu army to come faster. If they met head-on, it would be a massacre!
While he was excited, he was also terrified. Fortunately, the Prime Minister had anticipated all of this.
In this round, he had a great teammate like Prime Minister to lead him, and he won the game easily.
On the other side, was the camp where Xiang Yan was.
Xiang Yan looked at the position of the Qin army on the map and found that they had already penetrated hundreds of miles into the territory of the Chu army.
Qin Jun's Kai Ge played loudly all the way, seemingly gaining a great advantage, but in fact he did so on purpose, with the purpose of luring Qin Jun into his pocket formation step by step.
He expanded the strategic depth to the greatest extent possible. The longer the battle line was and the more cities were conquered, the more dispersed the Qin army's forces became and the smaller the threat to the Chu army became.
Looking at the news that the Qin army's food and grass had been burned, he knew that the Qin army must be in chaos at the moment, and now was the time to close the net.
"Ying Bu, you lead the Thunderstorm Legion to attack the flank of the Qin army."
"Xiang Liang, you lead the Shadow Tiger Legion as the vanguard and disrupt the Qin army's battle formation."
"Zhou Zhang, you lead the Wolf Warriors as a support and be on standby at all times."
"Yes!" The three men answered one after another, all of them looked excited. They had been retreating all along, which made them feel very frustrated. Now they can take the initiative to attack, and they are all rubbing their hands, wishing they could fight with the Qin army right now.
Xiang Yan nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand, "All troops, attack!"
