To the First Emperor of Qin: The state has decreed this!

Chapter 218 Wang Li: We are a victorious army! How can we give up so easily?

Wang Li's eyes were bloodshot and bloodshot.

How could he not know this?

He looked at his once-proud elite army, now demoralized and struggling.

My heart felt like it was being scorched by a raging fire; I was extremely anxious.

What should I do?

What should we do?

He knew that Zhang Fan was besieging his base.

If reinforcements are not delivered in time, city towers six through ten will fall!

Large quantities of grain and fodder were seized or burned!

Then this military exercise that he was determined to win can be declared over ahead of schedule!

Just when he was in a state of mental turmoil and almost in despair!

A scout came galloping from the front like a madman, his voice shrill and piercing:

"Report! General!"

"Smoke signals are rising from Tower Seven... Tower Seven is on fire!"

That's all!

Everyone was horrified!

City Tower No. 7!

That was their central storage point for all their reserve food and supplies!

It's their lifeline!

Finished!

It's all over!

Wang Li swayed and nearly fell off his horse.

But in this abyss of despair, a flame of madness ignited in his eyes!

lose?

Wang Li cannot lose!

We absolutely cannot lose in such a humiliating way!

"Pass on my orders!"

Wang Li's voice was hoarse.

"All soldiers! Disarm!"

"Discard all heavy armor, heavy weapons, and surplus equipment on the spot!"

Everyone was stunned when the order was issued.

Fang Jie was shocked:

"General, you mustn't!"

"Without armor, how are we any different from those who are shirtless?!"

"Execute military orders!"

Wang Li roared fiercely!

He drew his longsword and personally cut the straps of his armor, the heavy breastplate crashing to the ground with a loud thud!

"Isn't Zhang Fan fast?"

"We're faster than him!"

"Isn't he planning to raid our base? We'll intercept his main force halfway there!"

All the soldiers were stunned by the general's crazy actions.

Wang Li, his eyes bloodshot, surveyed his soldiers, whose faces were also filled with resentment!

He roared with all his might:

"Raise your heads, everyone!"

"Look at yourselves! Look at your comrades around you!"

Who are we?

"We are the elite warriors of Qin, survivors of countless battles, who fought the Xiongnu in the north and struck fear into the hearts of the barbarians!"

"The Huns' scimitars couldn't make us bow our heads!"

"The snow and wind of the northern desert could not break our spirit!"

"Am I really going to be driven to my death here today by the schemes of a sorcerer!"

"Are we just going to stand by and watch him take everything away from us, like stray dogs?"

His words struck like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of every soldier!

Yes!

We are a victorious army!

How could we allow ourselves to be humiliated like this!

Fang Jie watched Wang Li's resolute back as his blood boiled.

He roared and drew his sword, severing his own armor in the process.

"The general is right! Disarm!"

"How could we possibly endure such a humiliating disgrace!"

The two men's actions instantly ignited the fury of the entire army!

"The general is right!"

An old soldier with a full beard was the first to respond.

He roared and roughly tore open the leather buckle.

"When I was fighting alongside the general in the northern frontier, killing those barbarian dogs, when had I ever felt so humiliated!"

"This metal suit is better off without!"

"That's right! Damn it, let's fight that evil Taoist priest!"

"How can I catch up with those brats on an empty stomach, carrying dozens of kilograms of armor! Take it off!"

"So what if they don't have food? I've eaten grass roots and tree bark back in the day, what are we afraid of? Catch him and take back our supplies!"

"Kill! Kill!"

The rage erupted completely at this moment!

The soldiers' eyes turned as bloodshot as Wang Li's!

"Remove your armor!"

"Let's fight that evil Taoist priest!"

The roars merged into a torrent, echoing throughout the mountains and forests!

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"..."

The heavy armor was discarded piece by piece on the road, as if mountains had been unloaded.

Although the soldiers had not eaten for more than a day, their eyes had become sharp again!

"Full speed ahead!"

"Target: Towards Gate Tower No. 7!"

"If we don't capture Zhang Fan today, we swear we're not human!"

……

at the same time.

Beneath Gate Tower No. 9.

"Get it over with!"

"Hey, you, yes, you, tuck your stomach in!"

Mo Feng looked at the soldiers in front of him who were hurriedly changing their armor and whispered his instructions.

"You're about to burst this breastplate!"

"We're going there to play defeated soldiers, not to play the Laughing Buddha!"

Then he walked up to a young soldier and smeared dirt on his face.

"You, put more dirt on your face!"

"Why do you all look so radiant and healthy, with oily skin?"

"He doesn't look like he's been starving for two days at all."

Nearby were Wang Lijun's soldiers who had just been "killed" and stripped of their armor.

Their faces were ashen, and they were trembling with rage!

But they were covered in lime powder!

Under the rules of the exercise, they are "dead men"!

The official not far away had already recorded their numbers with a pen!

The dead cannot speak, much less resist.

They could only watch helplessly as their armor was worn by the enemy, becoming a prop in the enemy's deception.

"alright!"

Mo Feng clapped his hands. "Everything's ready. Proceed according to plan. Disperse!"

The hundred people quickly broke up into smaller groups and disappeared into the mountains and forests.

A moment later.

The garrison at No. 9 city gate was horrified to see a dozen soldiers dressed as their own comrades tumbling and crawling up the mountain, fleeing back to the rear city gate like a defeated army.

"Open the door! Open the door now!"

"We've lost! We've lost!"

The guards on the city wall let them in.

The dozen or so "desperate soldiers" looked terrified and were trembling all over.

"What exactly happened?!" the garrison captain demanded sternly.

A defeated soldier collapsed to the ground, crying out:

"It's over...it's all over!"

"General Wang Li... was killed by that Immortal Master Zhang using a demonic magic array!"

Another person chimed in:

"General Fang Jie, seeing that the situation was hopeless, has already led his troops to surrender!"

These words greatly shocked the guards at the No. 9 city gate!

"Nonsense!"

The captain didn't believe it at all.

"General Wang Li led two thousand troops to encircle and annihilate them; how could they possibly lose?"

"Could this be a trap?!"

However, before he could finish speaking, shouts of battle erupted again from below the city walls!

Dozens of soldiers dressed in Zhang Fan's uniforms were seen chasing after three "desperate soldiers" who were also dressed in Wang Li's uniforms.

The three of them hadn't run more than a few steps when they were caught up by the "pursuers" behind them!

Its body was instantly covered in lime powder, signaling its "death."

This scene.

It became the last straw that broke the psychological defenses of the defenders at No. 9 Tower!

They were immediately convinced!

There was much discussion and uproar on the city wall.

"It's over...it's really over! General Wang has truly been defeated!"

"Those plumes of smoke just now... I knew something was wrong! It turns out that evil Taoist priest was defeating us one by one!"

"Even General Fang Jie has surrendered, what are we still doing holding out?"

"Yes, the tide has turned, there's no point in continuing to hold on..."

Despair and shame spread rapidly.
