I Am The First Emperor Of The Qin Dynasty

Chapter 647 Yan State Reinforcement]

After a burst of commands, following the drums to step, the sound of mighty footsteps passed between heaven and earth.

Qin Jun circled the streets and alleys of Jincheng. This is an indication that Jincheng already belongs to the territory of the Great Qin Empire.

When Qin Jun was resting, he quickly came to report.

“General, Wei’s army is still fifty miles away from Jincheng.”

Sima Lie’s face was full of joy. “General, Wei Jun, this is the meat delivered to the gate. If we don’t eat it, it means we are a bit stupid.”

Wang Benge glanced at him, and then said to the generals under his hand: “Hurry up and clean the battlefield. We are here waiting for the arrival of Wei Jun.”

Wei Liao moved “six and twenty-seven” steps from the chariot. “General, those Wei troops shouldn’t worry about it. They will retreat willingly.

“Lord Guowei, what do you say?”

Wei Liao said: “Since Jincheng is lost, King Yan can only hide in Ancheng. This place is the only way to Ancheng.”

Wei Liao’s words were taken by Sima Lie, “Wei Jun will find that Jincheng is occupied by us and think that King Yan has become a turtle in the urn, so Wei Jun will not come to support King Yan again.”

Wei Liao nodded. “General Wang hurriedly wrote a list of battles to King Qin, and I will take it back to Xianyang.

Hearing that Wei Liao was going back to Xianyang, Wang Li was a little hard to separate. This time, we captured Jincheng, thanks to the powerful crossbows sent by You Wei Liao and the aid of the ballista.

Wang Zhi and Wei Liao walked into Prince Dan’s Grand Marshal’s mansion. Although Sima Lie said Wei Liao’s concerns were serious, he still worried about Wei Jun, who was fifty miles away.

Sima Lie still prepared five thousand men and horses and was ready to set off at any time.

One hour later, there was a report from visiting Malay, and Wei Jun had turned around and went back.

After Wang Zhi heard the horse, he ordered the lieutenant around him to rest on the spot, and he could not feed him. The granaries in Jincheng were all opened, except for some for his own army, and they were all returned to the people.

When Sima Lie saw Wang Ben, he arched his hands and said, “General, shall we continue to move forward and reach Ancheng before King Yan has heard of the loss of Jincheng?

Wang Ben waved his hand, “The army has been exhausted in continuous combat. Now it is going to Ancheng, and it is hundreds of miles away. Even if it arrives, it is exhausted and unable to fight.”

Wang Ben pondered for a moment: “General Sima, you first sent a horse to explore the situation in Ancheng to make it clear that our army will wait for the rest and recuperation before leaving.

Sima Lie’s tactics are quick battles and quick decisions. His most admired sentence is that soldiers are expensive and fast.

But seeing that Wang Li didn’t intend to take advantage of the victory, he had no choice but to act according to Wang Ben’s intention.

Wang Li didn’t want to take advantage of the strong morale of the soldiers to occupy Ancheng and capture King Yan.

But after this tough battle, the troops were really exhausted, and let them forcefully support the march, even if they really arrived in Ancheng, they were not suitable for fighting. If the troops are thrown into the fight regardless of the fatigue of the troops, the casualties may be very serious.

For the sake of the soldiers and to complete the mission of successfully capturing King Yan, Wang Ben decided to be more cautious.

However, what Wang Wei did not expect was that the reinforcements sent by King Yan to support Jincheng Prince Dan had already approached Jincheng.

Their plan to rest the army is still in vain.

At this time, Yan Kui’s army was only a hundred miles away from Jincheng, and the general who led this Yan Kui army was Yan Kui.

He is the nephew of King Yan. In order to keep Jincheng, King Yan asked his nephew to personally lead an army of fifty thousand to Jincheng to support Prince Dan.

Unfortunately, before arriving at Jincheng, he received a report that Prince Dan abandoned Jincheng to the king of Qin.

Yan Kui hurriedly stopped the army from advancing, he almost scolded the ancestor of Prince Dan’s eighth generation.

Yan Kui knew that Jincheng was a gateway to Ancheng. Once Jincheng was lost, Ancheng would be insecure.

Tan Ma said in front of Yan Kui: “General, Qin Jun Wang Ben has only 30,000 people, and all of them have entered the city.”

Yan Kui heard that there were only 30,000 soldiers in Da Qin, and his eyes were murderous.

Turning his head to look at his left and right, “You generals, the Qin army has only 30,000, and they must have been exhausted after a fierce battle, and our army has 50,000. Although it can be considered as exhausted, it is in the number of soldiers. We have an absolute advantage.”

“General, are you going to retake Jincheng?”

Yan Kui nodded, “When my army sent troops, King Yan once said that the loss of Jincheng is equivalent to the destruction of Ancheng. We Yan people will have nowhere to survive.”

After hearing what Yan Kui said, the generals said one after another: “But listen to the general’s order and fight Qin Jun to the death.

Yan Kui opened the map of Jincheng too, “You generals, look, this is the four-sided gate of Jincheng. As long as the north gate is a mountain, the west gate is the only way to our Ancheng.”

“General Yan 1.3, if we surround Jincheng on all sides, won’t it be impossible for the Qin army to flee?”

This is what Yan Kui wanted to do, but Yan Kui didn’t know how Prince Dan lost Jincheng, because there were as many as 50,000 soldiers from the Yan Kingdom in Jincheng.

In order to prevent Qin Jun from discovering his intentions, Yan Kui decided to send a small group of cavalry to Jincheng to launch an attack, so as to drag Wang Li’s army.

In fact, Wang Li had no intention of sending troops at all, so he wanted Qin Jun to take a good rest.

Since Yan Kui wanted to encircle Jincheng, Wang Li complied with his wishes.
