The commander of the ghost army who attacked Liucheng this time, named Helian Bo, is also a solid main battle faction within the ghost clan.

At this moment, when he acted like this, the herald's face turned white with fright, and while he was grabbed by the collar, he also said in a trembling voice:

"General Mingjian, this kind of military situation, how dare the villain talk nonsense......"

During the war, he lied about the military situation, but it was a big crime, that is, to give the herald ten dares, and he didn't dare.

The reason why Helian Bo was like this was because he didn't want to believe it in his heart, and now that he heard this, he couldn't help but roar angrily, and then pushed the herald away.

At this time, his lieutenant also began to say urgently: "General! Let's hurry back to the camp! ”

"No!" He Lianbo waved his hand directly and said coldly: "Continue to attack the city!" ”

Yes? When the adjutant general heard this, he immediately became worried: "But general, at this point in the battle, Liucheng has never been broken, if it cannot be attacked for a long time, our army will lose follow-up supplies, and at that time, I am afraid that the whole army will be in danger." ”

"What's the use of returning to the camp now! After the enemy burned the grain and grass, are you still waiting for you there!? ”

Helian Bo first glared at the adjutant general, then pointed to the city pass in front of him, and said: "Now Lu Bolin's main army is not here, there are not many defenders in the city, once the city is broken, our army can enter and plunder at will, are you afraid that there will be no food!" ”

After speaking, he shouted again: "Pass the order, continue to attack!" Before it gets dark, be sure to break through Liucheng! ”

"Yes!"

Helian Bo's grain and grass were destroyed, and he did not withdraw the army in a hurry at the first time, but decided to break through Liucheng quickly, his idea was good, but he didn't expect that the defenders of Liucheng would be so tenacious.

In Liucheng, not only is the city defense equipment complete, the stone rolling wood is inexhaustible, and Peng Shuang personally defended the battle, took the lead in killing the enemy, and boosted morale.

This kind of military general is in response to the sentence that there will be a heart of death, and there is no greed for life.

5,000 soldiers did not give an inch, and they also plunged today's battle into an absolute bitter battle.

The battle lasted until dark, and Helian Bo was forced to withdraw his troops, and then the army besieged the city, and after everything was arranged, he also said quietly:

"It seems that in this battle, we underestimated the lord of Liucheng, but I didn't expect that the army was pressing, and he dared to take the initiative to attack, and the defense of Liucheng was also beyond my expectations."

An army, its combat power and action power, is directly linked to the main general.

Perhaps it was because he was used to fighting easy battles with the Central Plains army before, and Liucheng, which was originally nine out of ten, didn't want to be frustrated in a battle, and now Helian Bo has also become frowning.

After listening to his words, his adjutant general couldn't help but remind: "General, today our department fought a bloody battle, failed to break through Liucheng, the grain and grass were destroyed, although the warriors still have some dry food in their hands, but it can only be used for two or three days, if we don't retreat again......"

When he said this, he was silent, and when Helian Bo heard this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "Try again tomorrow." ”

On the other side, after the ghost army retreated, the soldiers defending the city also seemed to collapse, holding halberds in their hands and sitting on the ground.

At this time, Peng Shuang was also covered in blood, I don't know how many enemies he killed, and after the first battle, the defenders also began to count the losses after the battle.

Right now, the sky has darkened, and the army has begun to set up pots and cook, but Peng Shuang did not dare to relax in the slightest, and still inspected the city defense at the head of the city.

Not long after, a general also came to report and said, "General Peng, the count has been completed." ”

"How much has my troops been lost?" Peng Shuang immediately asked.

"This ......" the general hesitated for a moment and said, "More than 2,000 soldiers were killed and 1,000 were wounded." ”

"In other words, there are only 2,000 soldiers who can fight?" Peng Shuang's brows also furrowed.

"Yes General." As he spoke, the general's face was also full of worry, and then he said worriedly:

"In this battle, the ghost army is attacking fiercely, and our troops are already insufficient, so the damage is serious, if tomorrow, the enemy army will attack again, how can it be good. In addition, I don't know what the situation is on General Xiao's side. ”

While the two were talking, a sergeant ran over quickly, then knelt on one knee, clenched his fists and said, "General, the county commander Lord Liu is here." ”

What is he here for? Peng raised his eyebrows slightly, and before he could say anything, Liu Yuzhi was already dressed in an official uniform and walked quickly to the city.

There was no way, Peng Shuang could only meet him, hugged his fists at him and said, "Lord Liu." ”

"General Peng." Liu Yuzhi also arched his hand, then glanced at the situation in the city slightly, and said straight to the point: "In today's battle, I don't know how the general's department is damaged." ”

He is the local county commander, if the ghost army breaks the city, the people in the city, will not be spared, his concern about the war, it is also reasonable, and he fully assisted and cooperated with the defenders before, in the defensive battle of Liucheng, it is equivalent to his own people.

Therefore, Peng Shuang had nothing to hide, and said bluntly: "The troops are insufficient, and nearly half of them have been lost." ”

"In this way, if the ghost army attacks again tomorrow, Liucheng will be in danger." Liu Yu's way.

Peng Shuang glanced at him, listened to his words, and thought that he was afraid, so he couldn't help but say: "Lord Liu don't need to panic, in this battle, even if you fight to a single soldier, this general will never give in a step, at that time, if you want to die, it will also be the soldiers of our army who will die in the city first!" ”

"Huh? The general misunderstood. Liu Yuzhi waved his hand and said calmly: "I have a strategy, which may solve the current crisis." ”

What the!? Hearing this, Peng Shuang couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately asked, "Is this true!?" ”

Liu Yuzhi didn't rush to explain, but said: "Before, I have heard a little about General Xiao's strategy of raiding the enemy's grain and grass camp, but I don't know if it was successful. ”

Peng Shuang said truthfully: "Now that the ghost clan army is besieging the city, the news can't come in at all, but one thing is certain, General Xiao must have implemented this policy." ”

......After listening to his explanation, Liu Yuzhi pondered for a while, and then said: "In this way, tomorrow, I will mobilize the people in the city to defend the city with the general. ”

"Is that okay?" Peng Shuang couldn't help frowning and asked.

"For today's plan, it can only be like this, if General Xiao's side has successfully burned the enemy's grain and grass, then the ghost army has failed to break the city after today's battle, tomorrow, seeing so many defenders in the city, he knows that he will not be able to break the city in a short time, and there is no follow-up food and grass, hesitating, he will inevitably retreat." Liu Yu's way.

As he spoke, he explained: "The general's troops, the troops are no longer enough to defend the city, if not, even if the grain and grass of the ghost army are destroyed, seeing that Liucheng is empty, they will only attack more fiercely, only use illusions to make the ghost army feel that there are many defenders in Liucheng, and they have no hope of breaking the city in the short term." ”

"But this ......" Peng Shuang said with some worries: "If the ghost army still launches a strong attack, it will ...... then"

After all, the people are not like soldiers, they have never been on the battlefield.

Peng Shuang's worries, Liu Yuzhi could understand, and he immediately said: "The general wants to live and die with Liucheng, and the official here is the same!" ”

Unexpectedly, he was a civil official, a county order, and he had such backbone, Peng Shuang couldn't help but look at him again.

You must know that at that time, the world was chaotic, there were many people who bought and sold officials, and there were countless corrupt officials and corrupt officials.
