In fact, Wang Ji wanted this result. He led his troops to fight and block the attack in Loufan, with only one goal, and delayed time as much as possible. After all, the Huns had many soldiers and many forces, and Wang Ji had no chance of defeating them. If he could delay one more day, he would be afraid of a bird after the main force of the Bingzhou Army returned to the aid.

Therefore, it was extremely beneficial for Wang Ji to slow down the offensive. It seemed that the huge lethality of this rolling wood still made the Huns very afraid. Liu Yuan sent a few people to launch an attack sporadically, hoping to consume the rolling wood reserved by the Bingzhou army. Unfortunately, they didn't know that Wang Ji had reserved a lot of wood behind the position. Anyway, this thing was just locally sourced, and it didn't take much effort. Even if it was used up, Wang Ji could send someone to cut down some of them temporarily, leaning against this mountain, and this wood resource was inexhaustible. Not to mention guarding for three or five days, even if it was guarding for a year or two, it would probably not be consumed.

Liu Yuan and Liu Yuan used up all the wood before attacking, I'm afraid he made a mistake in his plan.

Wang Ji calculated that although Cao Liang was far away in Liyang, Jizhou, he would definitely send troops back to Bingzhou as soon as possible after receiving the urgent report. According to Wang Ji's estimate, at most, reinforcements would only be about half a month, and reinforcements would rush back to Jinyang. Now half a month is only half the time. As long as he stays in Loufan for seven or eight days, everything will be fine.

Judging from the current situation, Wang Ji still has full confidence after sticking to it for seven or eight days.

After Qian Hong received the order, he immediately led the Zuowei Camp to Lishi and took the lead in the attack.

When the Zuowei Camp arrived at Lishi City, it was already dusk. Logically, the Zuowei Camp should set up camp at this time and launch an attack after dawn.

But Qian Hong couldn't wait because he knew that the gains and losses of Lishi City were an important part of the Xiongnu being able to encircle the Xiongnu in Bingzhou. If he led his troops outside Lishi City, wouldn't it be like telling the Xiongnu that the Bingzhou army had its combat intention? Lishi's defenders would also notify Liu Yuan as soon as possible. Once Liu Yuan was asked to return to Lishi, it would completely disrupt Cao Liang's combat deployment. Therefore, Qian Hong could not wait and could not give the Xiongnu any time to react. When he arrived at Lishi City, Qian Hong immediately issued an order to attack the city. Even if he fought at night, he would still take Lishi City tonight.

The new Left Guard General Geng Biao was formerly the former military captain of the Left Guard Army and was a capable general of Qian Hong. After Qian Hong ordered this, Geng Biao immediately led the army to attack Lishicheng.

The army left by the Huns at Li Shi was not originally an elite soldier. Since he was in the rear, Liu Yuan would not worry about Li Shi being attacked, so he only left thousands of old and weak soldiers, and their mission was to transport the bodies.

The Huns killed too many people, and these corpses could not be buried on the spot in the city. They had to be dragged out of the city and dug a large pit of ten thousand people to bury them.

These Hun soldiers had been tired for a day of work, and it was difficult to rest at dusk, but before they could take a breath, they heard the sound of killing outside the city, which was so shocked that these people looked like earth. They hurriedly rushed to the top of the city to check, and found that the Bingzhou army was full of people all over the mountains and fields, and the Hun soldiers were petrified.

Where did these Bingzhou troops emerge? Didn’t it mean that their Shanyu Liu Yuan had led his army to Jinyang? How could there be Bingzhou troops behind them?

Geng Biao led the Left Guard Camp to the city. Without saying a word, he immediately ordered his troops to set up a ladder to attack the city.

Qian Hong did not intend to use a catapult cart. According to the situation he had previously grasped, there were only more than 2,000 Xiongnu soldiers in the stone city, while the Zuowei Camp had 15,000 people. With such a huge gap in the military strength, if the Zuowei Camp still needed to use a catapult cart, it would be a slaughter to kill the chicken.

What the Bingzhou Army now needs is to fight quickly and get Lishicheng as fast as possible. The catapult cart takes a long time just to wait for it, so in this case, it is better not to use a catapult cart.

Nearly a hundred ladders stood up quickly, and countless Bingzhou soldiers climbed up the ladders. Although they encountered a certain degree of resistance, this resistance was almost negligible and completely negligible.

Lishi City was originally defended by the Bingzhou army. When the Huns attacked the city, they almost destroyed all the defense facilities on the city. At that time, the Huns only regretted that they were not completely destroyed, so the city defense system of Lishi City was already in a state of complete paralysis.

After the Huns entered the city, they only had to carry out massacres and robbery, kill all the population in the city, and rob all the valuable things in the city. As for the reconstruction and reconstruction of the city defense facilities, it was completely out of the scope of the Huns' consideration.

The reason why Liu Yuan left 2,000 people to defend the city was actually mainly because he was a coolie. He used them to bury the corpses piled up in the city. As for defending the city, it seemed that it was not considered. Perhaps Liu Yuan also felt that Li Shicheng would no longer be counterattacked by the Bingzhou army.

Therefore, when the Zuowei Camp launched an attack, these Xiongnu soldiers were caught off guard, and many people did not even reach the city wall. Even if the Xiongnu soldiers rushed to the city wall, they did not have time to carry weapons such as bows and arrows. They could only stare at the Bingzhou army, which looked like locusts and ants under the city.

This was a battle that made the Huns not prepared at all, and before many people could even react, the Bingzhou army had already attacked the city.

At this time, the Xiongnu people woke up from their dreams and fought fiercely with the Bingzhou army on the city. However, the huge gap in troops made it impossible for the Xiongnu to be the opponent of the Bingzhou army. The Bingzhou army was like cutting melons and vegetables, killing the Xiongnu people on the city, and opening the city gates with the flow, allowing more Bingzhou troops to pour into the city.

Once the defense line of the city wall was broken, the subsequent battle became meaningless. The Bingzhou army rushed into the city, and the Huns could not resist and parry, so they could only surrender one after another. The entire battle lasted only for more than an hour. The Zuowei Camp had completely controlled Lishicheng.

At this time, the sky was completely dark. After the Bingzhou army entered the city, it lit a raging torch, illuminating Lishi City like daytime.

There were still many corpses of Han people who had no time to transport them away in the city. When the soldiers of Bingzhou Army saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel indignant and furious.
