Chapter 821 Ying Gao: This King of Qiongdu is not simple.
For Wang Li, this was an opportunity to prove himself. He knew that both Ying Gao and his eldest father wanted him to achieve something.
Even the entire Wang family is looking forward to his growth.
After all, only when he grows up can he shoulder the responsibility of the Wang family, become Ying Gao's helper, and make his eldest father Wang Jian feel truly at ease.
After all, he is the direct grandson of the old Wang family and the most serious inheritor. He must show that he is mature enough to convince all the major branches of the Wang family.
Only in this way, the entire Wang family will be in his hands, and it will become the heaviest and sharpest sword in his hand.
He does not seek to become his great father, or an unparalleled general like Ying Gao, but he at least wants to become a true military commander.
An hour later, rows of catapults had been set up by the equipment battalion. On the battlefield, they were like beasts dormant, waiting for a fatal blow.
At this time, Wang Li still didn't know clearly what caliber is justice and range is truth, but he was keenly aware from the battle of Xichang Pass that such an offensive formation could crush a country like Qiondu.
Qiongdu and other countries are themselves very weak. Naturally, they do not have the qualifications, ability, or technology to build a pass city like Hangu Pass or a capital city like Xianyang.
For cities like Xianyang and Hangu Pass, there is simply no way for a catapult to take them down in a short period of time, unless it is a protracted and violent bombardment.
However, like the Xichang Pass, the Qiongdu Imperial City had far less manpower and material resources than the Central Plains, and its construction technology was extremely backward. Naturally, it could not withstand the fierce attack of catapults.
What's more, apart from catapults, the Qin soldiers had a dazzling array of offensive methods. This was a high-level civilization crushing a low-level civilization.
A transformation of good into evil.
An hour later, Sima of the Chinese army hurried over and said to Wang Li: "General, the equipment battalion has completed building the catapults. At the same time, the infantry has also successfully mined the rocks and transported them all to the battlefield.
superior."
"At the same time, the production of ladders and the assembly of cloud carts have been completed."
"Should we start a war immediately?"
Hearing this, a stern look appeared in Wang Li's eyes. He took a deep look at the Yue'an King's City opposite and said, "Send the order and let the Huotou Army bury the pots and make rice, and then the army will rest for half an hour."
"During this process, we must require that generals never remove their armor and soldiers never leave their ranks."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Sima of the Central Army turned and left.
Looking at the departing figure of the central army Sima, Wang Li's expression became more complicated. He knew in his heart that countless soldiers would definitely die in this battle.
They should not die of hunger.
Moreover, this is Yue'an, the royal city of Qiongdu. It must be the most difficult city to attack in Qiongdu. Even with the siege capabilities of Great Qin, it will definitely take longer.
As a result, the soldiers of Great Qin need sufficient physical strength to sustain the war for two to three hours. Therefore, they must eat before the war.
"General Ying, there is news from the scouts that General Wang Li is asking his army to dig mountains and quarry rocks, and build ladders and cloud carts. There is no movement from the other side, and it seems that they have given up."
Hearing this, Ying Gao shook his head and warned Tie Ying, "No one knows what the outcome will be until the last quarter of an hour. This King of Qiongdu is not simple."
"And no matter whether it is Qielan or Yelang, there is still no news coming at this moment. This is very abnormal!"
Having said this, seeing Tie Ying's confused eyes, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Since Yelang, Qielan and others have united the countries south of Bashu, it means that they have the same purpose and demands."
"For Qiongdu and other countries, this demand is to keep our generals away from the south of Bashu. Their silence is simply unrealistic. Once Qiongdu is conquered by our generals, they will be in danger."
Ying Gao only talked about some things about the country south of Bashu. He didn't want to comment on Wang Li's commanding skills.
Because even if he made an evaluation at this moment, it would be unfair due to more factors.
For a general or a commander, the process is not important, the most important thing is the result.
This war has not yet ended, and since Wang Lizheng has the upper hand, Ying Gao cannot interfere in it randomly.
After taking a sip of tea, Ying Gao thought for a while and said to Tie Ying: "Order Jingyesi to keep an eye on the news about Yelang, Qilan, Dian and other kings."
"Once the army is mobilized, send the news immediately!"
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Tie Ying turned and left. He knew in his heart that this matter must be resolved immediately. The longer it was delayed, the greater the trouble would be for Ying Gao.
"Unless Wang Li fails, otherwise I won't be able to intervene. Remember that a person's growth always relies on his own inner enrichment, rather than external interference."
Ying Gao paid a certain amount of attention to Tie Ying. Although he was a member of Tie Ying's elite, he was also the confidant Ying Gao needed, accompanying him from birth to death for many years.
Watching Tie Ying leave, Fan Zeng looked at Ying Gao for a long time before he smiled bitterly and said: "General Ying, Wang Li has already attacked Yue'an and has successfully joined forces with the rest."
"At this moment, we have formed a siege on Qiondu Royal City!"
It had only been a day since Ying Gao issued the order. Wang Li and others had such a reaction, which was a good thing for Ying Gao.
This means that they have grown.
The growth of Wang Li and others made Ying Gao happy. It meant that he could lead the army to fight independently instead of always needing him to follow him.
What's more, once the Far South is attacked, a large army will be needed to station here, and no one is more suitable than Wang Li. This is why Ying Gao worked so hard to train Wang Li.
Ying Gao never stated this clearly, but there was no shortage of smart people in this world. Fan Zeng had guessed his purpose from the beginning.
Moreover, Fan Zeng also supported such a decision.
Even though a Chi Road will be built from Xianyang to the Far South to strengthen the connection between the Far South and Xianyang of the Great Qin Dynasty, Taiyuan is separated between the two places, so people feel more at ease.
Wang Hu was originally there, but Wang Hu needed to sit at Yangguan Pass and Yumen Pass. These two passes had very special geographical locations, and Wang Li couldn't cope with them at this moment.
And Meng Liao is also in Liangzhou. In front of him, there is only one Wang Li. Regardless of success or failure, Wang Li needs to go out and take up this burden.
