Chapter 56 In a hurry for quick success, Li Xinbing defeated Gusu City

After getting the talisman, Li Xin was excited, and his chest was full of pride, and he couldn't wait to go to the south to lead the army as soon as possible.

The edict for the expedition again was finally issued, Li Xin was the commander of the southern expedition, and another 100,000 elite soldiers were allocated.

Some time ago, when the Qin army was shrinking, Wu Zixu led the troops to recover a lot of lost territory, and re-recruited and trained a large number of troops, and his strength increased greatly.

Wu Zixu had already received the information sent by LĂź Buwei before, and knew the movements of the Qin army well, and had already laid a net between Yingcheng and Gusu City, waiting for Li Xin to lead the Qin army to drill.

When Li Xin came to the army, he changed his conservative style in the past, and immediately gathered troops from all over the country to prepare for a large-scale attack on the slippery army.

On this day, Wu Zixu personally led a large army to provoke under Yingcheng, Li Xin was furious when he heard this, and immediately led more than 10,000 elite soldiers out of the city to meet the battle. When the battle was not long, the slippery army was a little unable to support it, and Wu Zixu led his troops to resist the Qin army on the one hand, and ordered all the troops to retreat on the other.

Wu Zixu personally went into battle and fought hard, and the soldiers of his department were all heroic and abnormal, and tens of thousands of Qin troops could not take advantage of it. Seeing this, Li Xin was furious and kept urging his soldiers to step up the attack. After all, they were outnumbered, and the battle lasted until dusk, Wu Zixu finally couldn't resist it, and led the remnants of the army to retreat into the mountains and forests.

Back in the city, Li Xin immediately summoned all the generals to discuss the matter. Li Xin said: "The slippery army has been heavily damaged by our army before, and its troops have been lost. The slippery army that came to attack this time was all newly recruited, and the rabble was simply vulnerable, and our army could easily defeat hundreds of thousands of invading enemies with more than 10,000 elite soldiers. Our army only needs 100,000 elite soldiers to sweep away the thieves and pacify the southern land in one fell swoop. The generals shouted in unison: "The general is mighty, and the general is brave." Li Xinzheng was secretly complacent, and suddenly heard a general say loudly: "The slippery army may not be as unbearable as the general said, the more than 1,000 troops led by Wu Zixu just now made it difficult for tens of thousands of soldiers of the Qin army, it can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the slippery army is still very strong, so we still have to wait for the army to assemble before making plans." Li Xin was very unhappy when he heard this, and saw that the person who spoke was Wang Ben, the deputy general of the former commander Wang Qian, so he said angrily: "General Wang has always been suspicious of this commander, and this commander does not care about you because of the overall situation, but at this important moment, General Wang actually slandered our army for personal purposes and increased the morale of others, which is really hateful." After saying that, he ordered Wang Ben to retreat, and then ordered the generals to go back and reorganize the various departments, and prepare for a full-scale attack immediately.

The Qin army's attack went very smoothly as Li Xin predicted, and the slippery army also lived up to expectations and fled, and was about to collapse at the first touch. It's just that along the way, although the Qin army has captured many cities, it has not eliminated many new forces of the slippery army. It's like a food critic who has tasted a lot of food, but each one is only a superficial taste, and after a while, it seems that he has eaten a lot of food, but his stomach is still empty, and he has to eat a bowl of white rice to feel a little full.

Obviously, Li Xin can't manage so much anymore, he is now like a hungry wolf, tempted by the smell of food, salivating, chasing after him like crazy, eager to swallow the food in one gulp. But the slippery army led by Wu Zixu came and went without a shadow, like a ghost, pulling them step by step towards the abyss of death.

After more than ten days of marching, the Qin army finally came to the city of Gusu, but seeing the banners waving in the city, the army was neat, and the various departments of the slippery army were waiting for the Qin army for a long time. When the Qin army saw that the formation in the city was very different from the previous slippery army, everyone was shocked.

Li Xin gave an order, and the general offensive of the Qin army began. For a time, the sound of killing shook the sky, blood flowed like a river, and the heavens and the earth changed color. For the first time since this advance, the Qin army encountered real resistance, and found that the combat effectiveness of the slippery army was not as poor as the generals had claimed. The slippery army took advantage of the tall and thick city walls of Gusu City to methodically inflict huge casualties on the besieging Qin army, and after a fierce battle, the Qin army's attacking troops lost most of them, killing the Qin army in fear.

Seeing this, Li Xin had no choice but to temporarily withdraw his troops and return to the big tent in the army, and the generals felt that the behavior of the slippery army was suspicious, and suggested that Li Xin quickly lead his troops back to Yingcheng to wait for the army to gather and then make plans. Li Xin was furious and shouted: "My Great Qin Xiongshi has always advanced and never retreated, but now I have just encountered a small setback and become cowardly, which is really insulting to my Great Qin military prestige."

As soon as the words fell, I heard an urgent report from the sergeant outside the tent, the slippery army was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and suddenly killed from the mountains and forests on both sides, our army did not arrive, the back road had been cut off, and the slippery army was afraid that the slippery army would outflank the Qin army.

Li Xin and the generals were shocked when they heard the news, and the military tent was suddenly in chaos, Li Xin was shocked, and immediately ordered all the troops to prepare for retreat, and the generals hurriedly returned to the camp to arrange, and the soldiers of the Qin army learned the reason, and everyone was panicked.

In the early morning of the next day, the war drums of the Qin army were thundering, and Li Xin put on a posture of attacking on a large scale, hoping to paralyze the slippery army in the city so that the Qin army could retreat smoothly. Unexpectedly, the slippery army seemed to have known about it, and ignored it at all, and the city gate was opened, and tens of thousands of slippery troops were immediately killed from the city. The retreating Qin army was in great chaos, and the poor 100,000 mighty soldiers were like a flock of lambs to be slaughtered at this time, and countless people were cut down or trampled on each other. In the end, except for Li Xin, who fled back to Yingcheng under the desperate protection of his own soldiers, the rest of the Qin army was annihilated, and the slippery army won a great victory.
