Chapter 676: Cornered
Throughout the city walls, ropes were cut one after another.
The soldiers hanging on it fell miserably.
Random arrows rained down, rocks and rolling wood, and kept smashing down.
In the current state of the ghost army, let alone 100,000, even 200,000, 300,000, it is impossible to capture the next fortified city.
If we continue to fight like this, there will be no ladders, and the number of dead and injured will rise sharply, not to mention that we will not be able to go up half a step.
The adjutant general observed the entire battlefield, couldn't hold back any longer, and said in a sad voice: "Your Majesty, the last general begs you, don't let the warriors make these senseless sacrifices anymore......"
Listening to his mournful scream, the ghost king closed his eyes deeply, "Withdraw, withdraw......"
"Yes!" The adjutant general hurriedly responded.
Immediately afterwards, the unique horn of the ghost clan's retreating army sounded, and the ghost soldiers who were besieging the city left their corpses behind and retreated like a tide.
Under the city, the arrows were inserted diagonally, the corpses were horizontal, the blood was flowing all over the ground, the stones were scattered everywhere, and some were still pressed on the corpses, and there were tragic traces in the eyes.
For the ghost army, this is a battle to the death, and when they come back, all the soldiers are relieved of their last breath, and many people can't bear it anymore, so they lie on the ground on all sides, gasping for breath, and the weapons fall aside, and they don't have the strength to pick them up.
They ran for almost two days and two nights, during which they also experienced an ambush, and they were already too tired and sleepy!
In this regard, the ghost king did not stop it, but ordered the deputy general: "Immediately cut down the wood to make the cloud ladder, rest for a day, take out all the things that can be eaten, and let the warriors replenish their physical strength and do the last attack!" ”
"Yes!" Of course, the adjutant general agreed to this decision.
The current ghost army, the entire formation looks scattered, most of them are lying on the ground, even if they can stand, they are struggling to support, and their faces are pale.
If the defenders of the city were replaced by Su Yi, there was no doubt that they would definitely seize the fighter, order the switch, and take the opportunity to beat him back!
But Zhou Ce is just an ordinary Anjun general.
Next, the ghost army began to withdraw from the outside of the city, not far from here, for a temporary rest, and at the same time dispatched a large number of soldiers to cut down trees in the woods and make ladders.
Nothing was said all night, the next morning.
The ghost army once again gathered outside the city.
This time, with a night's rest, a full meal, and a corporal and soldiers, the spirit was obviously much better.
After the siege posture was opened, the Ghost King immediately asked, "How many cloud ladders have we made in a hurry?" ”
"Because there are not many long logs, there are only five or six." The lieutenant returned.
In one night, making a simple ladder, with the hands of the ghost soldiers, of course, there is no problem, after hearing this, the ghost king immediately said: "It's okay!" That's enough siege power! ”
"Today, it's until dark! Fight again until dawn! Troops must not be withdrawn! It takes a bang! ”
After saying this, the ghost king was about to give an order, but at this moment, a herald hurriedly ran over.
"Report ~~~~~"
"Big things are not good! Your Majesty! Qin ...... The Qin army and the Xuan army are coming! ”
"What!?" Hearing this, the Ghost King's eyes immediately widened, why was he in a hurry to attack yesterday, this is what he was afraid of!
A flash of despair flashed in his eyes, and the adjutant general panicked: "Now that Anyang can't enter, the enemy coalition army has arrived again, this, this, how can this be good, Your Majesty the King......"
He panicked, and the ghost king actually panicked, but he didn't show it.
Now, he needs to have a decision whether to continue the siege or not.
But if he attacks again, he will inevitably be attacked by Qin Xuan behind him, and he will be trapped under the city.
Unless he can attack the head of the city before the Allies destroy him, it is obviously unrealistic to take down the fortified city garrisoned by 100,000 troops in an hour or two.
But after thinking about it, the ghost king decided to make this last stand!
"Siege!" He stared.
"Huh!?" The lieutenant was a little unresponsive.
"This is the only chance!"
As he spoke, he drew his cutlass and placed it on his horse, pointing forward.
"The whole army is attacking the city—"
As soon as he gave the order, the ghost army that had already been prepared immediately launched a charge, and countless soldiers screamed and rushed to the city pass.
In the midst of the chaotic arrows, five or six ladders were quickly erected all over the city wall.
At the head of the city, Zhou Ce Zhengse said: "Inside the city gate, we have been guarded to death, they don't have large siege equipment, it is impossible to break through, and they only rushed out six ladders, these six places, heavy troops!" You go and command it yourself! ”
"No!" The general took the order and left.
For the ghost army, this siege battle, although it is much better than yesterday, is still very difficult due to the lack of equipment.
At the same time, the two armies of Qin and Xuan also arrived on the battlefield.
In Xiao Yuan's current position, he could even see the tail of the ghost army's formation.
He didn't have any nonsense, and immediately ordered to clamp it from the left and right flanks, and behind the ghost army.
Regardless of whether Anyang is impregnable or not, but Xiao Yuan's side will definitely not dare to delay, in case the ghost army breaks through the city and flees in a hurry, it will be too late!
Therefore, after the bag, the military order was also issued directly.
At this time, the ghost army, the front was still going forward to attack the city, and in the rear, under the order of the ghost king, it had already turned around and faced the Qin army.
Looking at the overwhelming black armor and red tassels on the opposite side, many ghost soldiers subconsciously tightened the spears in their hands, the Adam's apple slid down, and their feet involuntarily rubbed.
They are not afraid of the Huan army, facing the Huan army, and even laughing at the slaughter, but in the face of the Qin army, they have been somewhat afraid, not to mention that in this case.
Just when they were panicking, there was already a change on the side of the Qin army.
"Arrow Array Preparation—"
Wow! Crash!
The sound of neat and uniform armor rubbing, the soldiers in the first few rows, one after another, raised their bows and arrows, pulled them full, and pointed diagonally to the sky.
"Shoot the arrows—"
Buzz! Black clouds swept by, dense arrows, gathered in the sky, covered the sky, swept down!
Plop puff plop!
In such an open place, the Qin army's arrow array was exerted to the extreme, and in just an instant, the miserable howls became one.
The sound of arrows entering the flesh came and went.
How many people were nailed to the ground in an instant!
The ghost army, which was still lined up just now, has been vacated under the rampant arrow array, and a dead body has fallen on the ground!
Those who survived began to look left and right, panicking.
There were also ghost army generals who shouted bitterly: "Warriors! Rush—"
Driven by it, the ghost army gritted its teeth and had no choice but to raise its scimitar high and charge against the Qin army's formation.
On the Qin army's side, after the arrow array, the crossbowmen immediately collected their bows, and the infantry staggered forward.
Xiao Yuan looked coldly at the rushing ghost army, and King Qin's sword was unsheathed.
"Array—"
Rumble! Boom!
Reload the vertical shield and smash the ground in unison, with the halberd behind.
"Foot forward press!"
With an order, the Qin army began to use a horizontal and vertical line, with a heavy shield in front, facing the ghost army, approaching step by step!
