Chapter 675: Can't Go Back
Another day later, the ghost king led the remnants and finally arrived outside Anyang City.
This is also thanks to the ghost general's palace, otherwise, Su Yi's pursuit all the way will be endless.
Losing the car to protect the commander is his usual method in times of crisis, and he has suffered several heavy losses, which has also reduced his troops sharply, and it is less than 100,000 so far.
At the same time, Xiao Yuan and Xuan Wang Ye had converged and were leading a large army to rush to Anyang.
If according to the previous situation, the ghost king arrived, Yu Anmin immediately switched it on, and then, with countless gold, silver, jewelry, and a large amount of materials, they withdrew from the customs and fled back to the ghost clan safely.
But now, the city gates are closed, and all parts of the city defense are full of security soldiers.
Outside the city, the army of the ghost clan seems to be overwhelming, and there is no end in sight, but in fact, they are all crooked and slanted, standing there crookedly and listlessly.
Fleeing all the way, the ghost king was no better, seeing that the city gate was closed, he frowned, and at the same time signaled to a ghost general: "Go and ask Yu Anmin to open the city!" β
"Yes!" The ghost general took the order, and then rode out on horseback, and when he arrived at the city, he immediately shouted: "Is General Yu here?" His Majesty has arrived, and we should not hurry up and open the cityβ"
No one responded to him, and Zhou Ce in the center of the city directly waved his hand: "Release the arrow!" β
Following his order, the crossbowmen immediately drew their bows and began to shoot indiscriminately at the city.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the ghost general screamed in surprise, and was about to turn the horse's head, but the rain of arrows came in an instant, and he hurriedly drew his sword, but because he was unprepared before, he was too close to the city gate, and where could he run out of range of arrows.
There are so many arrows! He drew his knife again and only blocked a few times, and with a few pounces, he was soon nailed into a hedgehog and fell off his horse.
Yes!? Seeing this, the ghost army behind them were shocked, and the ghost king was also shocked.
His lieutenant swallowed: "This, what's the situation?" Is Yu Anmin crazy? β
Hearing this, the Ghost King finally reacted, and then pointed to an official who was proficient in language, and said in a cold voice: "Go and see what the situation is!" Ask Yu Anmin if he doesn't want to live anymore! β
"Yes." The official took the order and rode out, this time, he did not dare to step forward easily, but when he was a stone's throw away, he hurriedly grabbed the reins, and then looked up at the city pass, and said in a loud voice:
"General Yu! Was it just a misunderstanding! His Majesty has ordered you to open the city quickly! β
"Stop yelling!" Zhou Ce shouted directly: "General Ben clearly told you! If you want to go back to the ghost clan, attack Anyang first! β
"What!?" When the official heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, and then he stammered: "You! Are you mistaken! β
"Humph!" Zhou Ce sneered, ignored him anymore, but turned around and began to say to Sergeant An: "Soldiers! We made a big mistake before! failed to stop the ghost army from entering the customs in time, resulting in the slaughter of millions of compatriots! Now, these demons must not be allowed to go back! β
"They have committed heinous crimes in my Central Plains! Now I want to evacuate unscathed, how is it possible! β
"Swear to defend Anyang!"
"Swear to defend Anyang-" Everywhere in the city defense, Sergeant An began to wave the weapons in their hands in unison.
Seeing this scene, the official couldn't help but swallow his saliva, so he could only turn his horse's head and return to his own position.
Of course, the ghost king saw the situation when the soldiers and soldiers shouted in unison just now, but after the official came back, he still asked with a glimmer of hope, "How is it?" β
"This." The official glanced at him cautiously: "Anyang's defense work and military deployment, it seems, it seems that Yu Anmin is no longer in charge......
"What did you say!?" The ghost king was shocked when he heard this, and what followed was a furious anger: "This Yu Anmin! It's really not enough to succeed and more to lose! Bad self evacuation big thing! β
"The other party claimed that he was desperately sticking to Anyang, this, how is this good, Your Majesty." The official said urgently.
"Ahh The Ghost King roared angrily, almost bursting his eyes: "Attack!" Break through Anyang! Kill them all! β
Hearing this, the adjutant general hurriedly said: "But Your Majesty, our army has been running day and night, rushing all the way, and has suffered several heavy losses, and now the whole army is exhausted, and if you attack the city again, ......."
He said, the ghost king didn't know, but now, there is no choice.
"If you don't break through Anyang! How to withdraw to the country! And Su Yi's troops are behind us, although we have the queen of the palace, they can't hold out for long! β
"We can only forcibly break through here before Su Yi and Qin Xuan's main forces come! Otherwise, there is only a dead end! β
The ghost king shouted loudly, and the adjutant general's face turned pale, although he understood, he still said in a trembling voice: "But...... But because our army is in a hurry, we can't carry baggage, and we don't have siege ladders, Your Majesty......"
"Then fight with them! Take people's lives to fight! At all costs! Break through the gates! β
This is no other way, for the ghost army, there is no second choice.
The Ghost King didn't have time to take any rest.
Under his order, soon, the generals of the various departments drew their scimitars.
"Warriors! The door to return to my hometown is just around the corner! β
"Pick up your swords! Break through the enemy's defenses! β
Fighting in a different place, for such a long time, how can you not feel homesick, and go through nine deaths in your life, the ghost sergeant at this time has only one thought in his heart, that is, to go home!
Returning home to boost morale now is undoubtedly the best.
Under the mobilization, the ghost army also strengthened its spirit and began to launch a seemingly ferocious attack.
In fact, they had long since become the end of their crossbows, tired, sleepy, and powerless, and they had no siege equipment.
On the side of the An army, there are nearly 100,000 and they are well prepared, even if the combat strength is weak, they can occupy all the advantages, and the outcome of this siege battle will become without any suspense.
Outside the city gate, countless ghost soldiers were holding their scimitars high and swarming forward.
"Shoot the arrows!"
At the head of the city, rows of crossbowmen bent their bows and probed their arms, and arrows continued to fire.
In the midst of a series of miserable howls, the front row of the ghost army also rushed to the city, and some people gathered at the city gate and began to hit desperately with the wooden stakes they had found temporarily.
Someone went around the city with a rope with a hook at the end, straightened it, and immediately began to climb up.
But they had barely climbed a few steps, and there was no doubt that the rope on it had been cut by their swords.
Looking at this scene, General Youbian said beside Zhou Ce: "General, it seems that the ghost army no longer has any siege equipment, and its combat power is obviously not as good as before. β
"Yes." Zhou Ce nodded and said: "If you go on like this, let alone two days, even if you hold it for two months, there will be no problem, and if the ghost army wants to attack it with this, it is tantamount to a fool's dream." β
On the ghost king's side, looking at the soldiers who were constantly dying tragically in front of him, he couldn't help but scream sadly.
Along the way, he just wanted to arrive in Anyang as soon as possible, and was invited into the city by Yu Anmin, who would have thought that there would be a siege of the city!
