(The night was as dark as ink, shrouding the earth) At ten o'clock in the evening, Li Xin's army made its final assembly less than ten miles outside the city of Buddha. Li Xin came out of the military vehicle (dressed in a large military uniform, looking majestic) and said to his adjutant: "Immediately investigate the defenses of Buddha City. Order all troops to equip themselves on the spot and be ready to attack Buddha City at any time." "Yes!" The adjutant took the order and left.
The intelligence personnel immediately rushed to Focheng to gather intelligence. (Half an hour later, they all returned) Qin Yong only built a small number of defensive fortifications on the periphery, mainly because he only had a total of more than 10,000 troops, and lacked heavy firepower, so the defensive fortifications were relatively simple.
After Li Xin learned the situation, he summoned all the generals at the temporary command center to issue the attack order. He said with a serious face: "Everyone, this battle must capture Focheng in one fell swoop and capture Tan Yong alive! According to intelligence, the reinforcements from Meng are already on the way. Therefore, we must occupy Focheng before dawn and build an outer defense. When the reinforcements arrive, we will quickly launch a counterattack and destroy them in one fell swoop! This attack cannot give Tan Yong a chance to escape. We must kill all his lives in Focheng and adopt a siege from all sides!" "Use artillery fire against enemy fortifications, but pay attention to the distance and try not to hurt civilians. After the artillery fire, it's time for the general attack!" All the generals said in unison: "Yes!"
After the order was issued, the troops immediately began to move. In order to kill Qin Yong and his troops, the troops went around the city to ensure that no one would be missed. As time passed, it was eleven o'clock in the evening.
When the people of Focheng City learned that Li Xin's army was approaching, they hid in their homes and dared not come out. The soldiers defending the outer perimeter of Focheng City still thought that Li Xin did not dare to attack, and none of them took it seriously. (However, they soon paid a heavy price for their underestimation of the enemy)
As the time for the attack approached, countless rockets from the artillery positions shot up into the sky, (cutting through the night sky, like bright meteors rushing towards the defenses outside the city of Foshan) The huge noise made the soldiers in the defenses look up at the night sky. Seeing that it was rockets roaring towards them, everyone was stunned for a moment.
"Enemy attack... hide quickly..." They realized it later, and when they reacted, they were only in endless panic. How could the rocket launcher give them time to react? (It landed precisely near the fortifications, and suddenly, explosions rang out one after another) In the dark night, flowers bloomed all around the city of Buddha.
The shells were like ruthless harvesters, devouring countless lives in an instant. The enemy's fortifications were blown to pieces in an instant. This was simply a crushing force. Qin Yong's fortifications in Focheng were hastily built. Such simple fortifications could resist the charge of soldiers, but they were useless under the bombardment of rocket launchers.
The soldiers had nowhere to hide in the trenches. When a shell landed, the trenches were instantly razed to the ground. In just a few minutes, this place turned into a bloody meat grinder (the sky was full of blood mist, and the ground was full of broken limbs and arms, which was horrible to watch). The survivors were already scared out of their wits and could only wail loudly in this meat grinder helplessly.
War is ruthless, and the attack will not stop just because the other side is in a miserable state. The shells are still ruthlessly harvesting lives. Qin Yong, who still thought that Li Xin would not attack, naturally heard the loud noises of the explosions. He was just relaxing on the sofa, but when he heard the shells, he jumped up from the sofa in fright.
"What's going on?" Qin Yong yelled. His subordinates rushed in and reported: "It's bad, General, Li Xin has gone crazy! Now Focheng is surrounded by enemy troops, and our defenses have been directly destroyed!" "What?" Qin Yong's face turned pale, and he was not really scared until now.
For a moment, Qin Yong didn't know how to deal with it. Indeed, with his current strength, he couldn't compete with Li Xin at all. "General, think of a solution quickly, or we'll be finished!" "Damn it, damn, Li Hui, that bastard!" Qin Yong could only roar helplessly. The only solution he could think of was to ask Mengguo for reinforcements to arrive quickly, or to ask Li Xin to stop the attack.
"You let the brothers hold on. I will call the Meng government for help right away. As long as we hold on until dawn, there is hope!" "Yes!" Qin Yong's party was in chaos and immediately called Meng to ask for reinforcements to come as soon as possible.
The Meng State did not expect Li Xin to dare to attack Focheng. They could only appease Qin Yong and tell him to hold on and wait for help, and at the same time order the reinforcements to speed up their pace. In addition, they also called Li Xin to put pressure on him to stop the attack immediately. However, Li Xin naturally ignored the Meng State government.
After the rockets continued to bombard for half an hour, Li Xin ordered a general attack. Troops from all directions began to charge towards the positions outside the city of Fo, and suddenly, shouts of killing shook the sky outside the city.
After half an hour of continuous bombing, the defenses outside the city had already been destroyed. More than 80% of the soldiers who were defending here were killed or wounded, and the rest were either injured or frightened. When they saw Li Xin's army rushing over, no one chose to resist, and they all knelt on the ground and surrendered.
However, Li Xin's troops were already bloodthirsty. When they rushed over, they shot anyone they saw alive. The surrendered soldiers were not spared either, and were shot into sieves from a distance. (War is so cruel, and the loser has no right to choose his own fate)
Li Xin's army easily captured all the positions on the periphery without much effort. They did not stop the attack, but continued to attack the Buddha City. The main fortifications of the Buddha City were all on the periphery, and most of the troops were also deployed on the periphery. There were only about a thousand people guarding the city, and most of them were still protecting Qin Yong's mansion.
In other words, there was no defense point in Focheng at all. The soldiers in the city saw the army coming in, and those who had the guts organized themselves to fight fierce street battles with the army, while those who had no guts simply ran away.
Qin Yong was defeated. It took only two days from the time he launched the attack on Li Hui to the time when his troops reached the city. "It's over, it's over, it's over..." Qin Yong was so anxious that he kept asking about the situation of the reinforcements.
The subordinates ran in in panic, shouting, "General, it's over! Li Xin has already attacked the city, and our army can't stop him at all. Now, they are coming towards this side, we are finished!" "What?" Qin Yong's face was pale, and he sat paralyzed on the sofa like a deflated ball.
"General, run away as soon as possible!" The deputy general could no longer care about anything else and shouted, "Take the general away quickly!" Several soldiers came in and carried Qin Yong out without saying a word.
"And my children and my wives, take them all away!" Qin Yong shouted. The deputy general couldn't care less and ordered: "Quickly evacuate all the general's family members!" "Yes!"
Qin Yong was forced into the car and fled with more than a thousand people. (The night of Focheng was shrouded in war and smoke, and the fate of the city also changed dramatically at this moment)
