The spirit army is overwhelming, and now it is fully slaughtered into the city, how can the ghost army resist it.

And this is the Central Plains city, and the street battle is even more disadvantageous to the ghost army.

Under the urging of the generals one after another, Mace panicked, and shouted again and again: "Quick! Protect General Ben's retreat—"

He fled for his life with a group of guards, and the ghost soldiers in front of him were already defeated and retreated, first being scattered near the city gate, and then the spirit army was in hot pursuit, and they started street battles all over the city.

The entire city, the streets and alleys, were filled with the sound of weapons colliding and the strange screams of ghost soldiers.

At this point in the war, it is only a matter of time before Licheng recovers and exterminates this group of ghost troops.

At this time, Huang Zu also rode into the city under the protection of the guards.

Near the city gate, there was no fighting, only a large number of corpses of ghost soldiers remained.

At this moment, a partial general of the spirit army also hurriedly ran over, knelt down on one knee and said: "Huang Shuai, our army has won a big victory, and the ghost army guard general Mace is leading the remnants to flee to the rear." ”

"Order Ye Gui and let him lead the cavalry to pursue!" Huang Zu didn't have any nonsense.

"No!" The general took the order and left.

Poor Kou Mo chases, that is also when the score is scored, now there are no reinforcements in the rear of the ghost army, let alone any ambush, and Huang Zu has no choice but to beat the water dogs.

Licheng and the second stronghold in the rear of the ghost army are about eighty miles apart, and in this case, Mace is very likely to be caught up by the spirit army, so how dare he stay for half a minute, let alone care about the life and death of the soldiers who are still fighting in the city.

Running all the way, fortunately, there is a river on the road between the two strongholds, and a wooden bridge is erected over the river.

On the other side of the river, there is an entrance to a valley.

"Quick! Destroy the wooden bridge! ”

After throwing down the next sentence, Mace jerked his horse's hips again and ran into the valley.

When Ye Gui led a large number of cavalry to arrive here, he happened to see more than a dozen ghost soldiers fiddling with something on the other side of the bridge.

"Where do the thieves escape!" Ye Gui shouted, the spear smashed the horse's buttocks, and the first one rushed over.

He hurried to the bridge, but the wooden bridge had already been destroyed by the ghost army and was about to collapse.

The sudden failure made the war horse under the crotch neigh, the river was fast and deep, Ye Gui immediately decided, held a gun in his right hand, slapped the horse's back with his left hand, jumped up in the air, and jumped up with his strength, and instantly fell to the opposite bank.

As soon as he landed, he rushed forward, and one shot hit the nearest ghost army, but when he looked up again, the other ghost soldiers had already fled into the valley.

He was about to chase after him again, but there was a shout from behind him: "General—"

Ye Gui paused at his feet, and looked sideways, his own cavalry was still on the other side of the river, looking anxious.

The bridge has been destroyed, he is a general, a martial artist, the best in the world, but it does not mean that other soldiers can also cross the river, and now there is no war horse, how can he still catch up.

"Hateful!" After a long pause, he reluctantly lifted the spear.

This battle of Licheng began with the destruction of the city in the morning, and the chaos in the city continued until the evening, when it was close to the end.

When Ye returned, in the hall of the county government, a group of generals of the Spirit Army were reporting a series of post-war statistics to Huang Zu.

"In this battle, our army beheaded more than 20,000 ghost soldiers, about 4,000 soldiers were killed, and more than 1,00......0 were wounded."

Hearing this, Huang Zu frowned slightly, and said: "In this war, the ghost army was caught off guard, and the city pass was breached, so to speak, it is already in a state of chaos, but our soldiers and soldiers still have such large casualties, it can be seen that their individual combat ability, although we win, but we must not underestimate the enemy, especially their heavy cavalry, has not yet gone into battle, we should face the enemy and me." ”

When the generals heard this, they all nodded, and there was another humane:

"In addition, although Licheng was recovered, it ...... But almost all the people in the city were killed by the ghost army, especially the women, and there was no one to be seen......"

"Fuck! The ghost clan is really out of conscience! ”

A general scolded angrily, and Huang Zu was about to say something more, but there were footsteps outside, and he couldn't help but look at it.

The person who came was Ye Gui, and after coming in, he immediately hugged his fists and said: "Huang Shuai, the last general is incompetent, let the enemy general run away." ”

Huang Zu gave him a strange look.

Ye Gui looked annoyed, and said sullenly: "On the main road, there is a wooden bridge, which was destroyed by the ghost army, and the water flow is fast and deep, and our cavalry cannot cross the river. ”

"That's it." Huang Zu nodded and said, "It's not your fault, let's let the craftsmen hurry up and repair the bridge first, and after we rest in Licheng, we will attack the second stronghold of the ghost army." ”

"Now, the ministries will reward the soldiers."

"Return the wounded to the Allied camp."

"Count the soldiers, horses, and grain and grass reserves again."

"Prepare for the second battle."

He ordered one after another, and the generals clenched their fists one after another: "No! ”

After everyone left, he also returned to Shuai, picked up a brush, and began to write a battle report.

The other side.

Mace fled all the way, don't look at him when he arrested the people of the Central Plains, he was as fierce as anything, but now he was afraid of death, and he was worried about being caught up by the spirit army all the time.

"How!? Did they chase after them!? ”

"The wooden bridge has been destroyed, and the spirit army has not caught up." The spies returned.

"That's good, that's good......"

Mace let out a sigh of relief, and after a big stone fell in his heart, he hurriedly asked, "How far is it from Pingyi now?" ”

Pingyi is the second stronghold in the northwest of the ghost army, because there is Licheng in front, so there are not many troops there, only 10,000.

When the spy heard this, he said, "It's coming soon." ”

"Good, good, quick! Hurry up! ”

The remnants of Metz, about 3,000 people, finally arrived in Pingyi after half an hour.

At this time, there was naturally a ghost army stationed at the head of the city, and when they suddenly saw this remnant army, they couldn't help but be startled, and immediately someone shouted:

"What people!? (Oni)"

"Blind your dog's eye! General Metz is here! Don't open the gates yet! "There is a bias and the general is angry.

These 3,000 ghost troops can be described as disgraced, and Mace is also embarrassed.

When the ghost army in the city heard the language and saw the other party's dress again, they also reacted at this time, and after screaming, they ran down to open the city at the same time, and hurriedly asked people to report to the guards.

After a short time, the gates of the city opened, and the remnants of Metz's 3,000 soldiers entered the city, which was finally safe for the time being.

Subsequently, the Pingyi guard also hurried over, and after seeing Mace, he couldn't help but ask urgently: "General Mace, what's wrong with this?" ”

"Oh, don't say it! Licheng is lost! Quickly send a message to General Uhl and ask him to send troops to support Pingyi, I expect that in a few days, the spirit army will definitely attack in a big way......"

"What!?" When the guard heard this, he immediately panicked.
