There is no need to say much about the tragedy of the battlefield.

The spirit army is attacking fiercely, and it seems that there is a great deal of strength to pull out the posture of Licheng.

This is too different from the Huan army that the ghost army faced before.

Coupled with the pressure on morale, Mace was a little nervous in his heart, and after an hour of fierce fighting, he immediately dragged a partial general and said loudly: "The spirit army's offensive is too fierce, if we continue like this, we won't be able to hold it for a few days!" Fast! Call for help from the rear! ”

"Yes! Be! The general hurriedly responded.

But at this moment, on the side of the spirit army, there was a sudden sound of gold.

No matter what the reason, when they heard the signal of the commander's retreat, the soldiers of the Spirit Army did not hesitate for a moment, and instantly receded like a tide.

It can be seen from this that this army is well-trained and has very strict military discipline.

In just a moment, the plain outside the city was calm again, but the rocks and cold weapons under the city were scattered all over the ground, along with the corpses all over the place, in a tragic state......

Mace was a little dumbfounded, didn't the other party want to carry out an endless onslaught, why did this stop.

The partial general who had just been called by him didn't dare to move easily, but stood in place and asked tentatively: "General, general, the spirit army has retreated, do you still ask for help?" ”

"This ......" Mace came back to his senses and thought for a while, "Let's send a message to the rear, I don't know what the hell the spirit army is doing." ”

"Yes!" The general took the order and left.

And seeing the sudden retreat of the spirit army, the ghost army that had just defended the city couldn't help but sigh.

The other side.

The reason why Huang Zu suddenly withdrew his troops was because the purpose of the tentative attack had been achieved, and he was veteran and experienced on the battlefield, and sometimes, in just one battle, he could keenly perceive the weak points of the enemy's defense.

However, after Ye returned to the formation, he was somewhat dissatisfied: "Huang Shuai! Why Mingjin! Just the last general, there were a few times when he almost attacked the city! ”

He was dressed in armor and covered in blood, Huang Zu glanced at him, and said with a smile: "For the generals, lead the troops to fight, don't be impatient, according to the information provided by the Qin army, there are 30,000 ghost troops in Licheng, not to mention a little bit, even if it is half a step away, it is impossible to break this city in a battle, because their strength defense is very sufficient." ”

"Then, if you don't attack, what else can you do, do you just do it!" Ye Guidao.

His personality obviously belongs to the type of upright and impatient.

Huang Zu said tepidly: "Instead of letting the soldiers fight desperately and pay heavy casualties, it is better to find weaknesses and win with one blow." ”

"Oh? In this way, Huang Shuai already has a way? Ye Gui's spirit was shocked.

Huang Zu said: "Just now when the city was attacked, Ben Shuai took a closer look and found that although the city was tall, it was in disrepair, you see." ”

As he spoke, he also pointed to the distant city wall.

Ye Guishun looked at it, there, it seemed that it had been hit by many stone bullets, and a corner of the city wall had signs of collapse.

Huang Zu continued: "And on the ghost army's side, there are no large-scale defense equipment, and there is no way to deal with the stone throwing machine, if we focus on the siege of the city on the stone throwing machine, there may be unexpected results." ”

"What Huang Shuai means is...... Destroy the city defenses of Licheng? Ye Gui asked tentatively.

"Maybe you can give it a try." Huang Zu said directly.

When Ye Gui heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up: "This is a good way, once a city defense collapses, my infantry army can take advantage of this gap to enter the city and start a face-to-face white-knuckle battle with the ghost army!" ”

"Yes." Huang Zu nodded, and immediately said: "You give the order, the whole army retreats to the camp, let the soldiers of the sixth and seventh formations collect stone bullets on the nearby mountains, and the other departments perform their duties, strengthen patrols and secret posts outside the camp, don't let the ghost army approach, spy on our army's military intelligence, this news, must not be leaked, otherwise, the ghost army will learn about it, and I am afraid that it will urgently strengthen the city wall." ”

"No!" Ye Guiyi clenched his fists.

Most of the ancient castles were built to defend against war, so they were so strong that under normal circumstances, it was impossible to destroy a city with a stone thrower alone.

But in disrepair, it is naturally different.

When other generals attacked the city, most of them were thinking about how to attack the city and open the city gates, but Huang Zu focused on the city wall.

It can be seen that his people not only have a strategic art of war, but also have a set of skills, and they are flexible and changeable in the use of soldiers, and they are not the kind of brainless.

Under his order, the spirit army began to secretly quarry stones, and there was no siege for several days.

For a while, Mace was puzzled.

In the conference hall on this day, the ghost army generals gathered.

Mace was directly above him, frowning tightly.

Not only him, but everyone was also a little confused, a partial general said: "General, after the last battle, the combat strength of the Guanling Army is not weaker than our army, and the strength of the army is enough for 200,000 people, if it continues to launch a strong attack, to be honest, our army, in the case of a sharp reduction in strength, may be difficult to hold for a long time, but now, why have they not moved." ”

What he said was what others thought.

Mace was the same, and couldn't help frowning and muttering, "En...... Their Central Plains army fights, unlike us, they like to engage in the art of war and strategy, and Huang Zu is a person who has been on the battlefield for a long time and is not very easy to deal with, he has not moved these days, presumably, he must be accumulating strength and making a fatal blow. ”

"This ......" Hearing him say this, the generals couldn't help but glance at each other.

Mace continued: "In this way, send a dozen elite spies first, and if possible, find a way to get close to the Spirit Army camp and see what the hell they are doing!" At the same time, the various departments increased their garrison at night to beware of night attacks by the Spirit Army. ”

"Yes!" The generals took orders.

On Mace's side, although he had doubts, he didn't know what Huang Zu was going to do, and he didn't dare to switch to meet the enemy, so he could only send elites to find a way to spy on the military situation.

But on the side of the Ling Army, such a secret military activity, how could Huang Zu let him find out, not only inside and outside the camp, but also heavily guarded, with a radius of ten miles, and countless secret posts.

It can be said that these dozen or so ghost army spies have just slipped out of Licheng, and before they get close to the spirit army camp, they are already dead, and those who have been caught have been caught, and none of them can return.

The Spirit Army Battalion.

A general came to report: "Huang Shuai, the stone bullets have almost been collected." ”

"No, it's not enough." Huang Zu shook his head.

"But this ......" the general hesitated for a moment, and said, "On the nearby mountains, there are not many stones, and they have all been collected. ”

"Then go a little further, and where there is a stone, go and pick it." Huang Zu said directly.

"This, yes!" The generals had no choice but to take orders.

Waiting for him to salute and retreat, immediately after, the general in charge of the secret whistle walked in quickly, clenched his fists and said:

"Huang Shuai, sixteen ghost army spies were found, twelve were killed by our army, and four were captured."
