That night, Liu Yuzhi began to mobilize the people in the city.

Since his arrival, his county order can be said to have changed Liucheng a lot, not only governing a county very well, but also being fair and honest.

In particular, he was quite good at handling internal affairs, and in just a few years, he turned this bitter place into a large grain-producing county, so that many people had enough food and clothing and lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Therefore, he is very prestigious in Liucheng, and the local people also love him very much.

Now the ghost army is besieging the city, Liucheng is in danger, if the city is broken, the people here will be slaughtered, and the blood will flow like a river, which the people themselves know very well.

Therefore, under the mobilization of Liu Yuzhi, many young and strong people responded to protect their parents, wives and children at home.

The next day, Helianbo again led his army to the city to prepare for the last assault on Liucheng.

In his heart, in today's battle, if Liucheng can be broken, it will naturally be the best, if it can't be attacked for a long time, his side can only retreat, because there is no follow-up food and grass.

At this moment, the city of Liucheng is densely packed, full of soldiers, long halberds are lined up, and the army is slaughtered.

Of course, there are many young people in the city, pretending to be soldiers defending the city, and Peng Shuang's strength is no longer enough to put on such a position.

Before Helian Bo attacked, the gate of Liucheng suddenly opened, and then, Peng Shuang rode out, followed by a large number of elite soldiers.

The two armies faced each other, and under the city pass, Peng Shuangyi pulled the reins, and then raised the long knife in his hand, and shouted: "Wait for the thief!" Who dares to come out and fight me! ”

He tugged at the reins slightly, rode a war horse, and walked back and forth under the city, shouting angrily and violently.

At the same time, all the defenders of the city also began to raise their halberds in their hands and shouted in unison to cheer for them.

Seeing this, the deputy general of the ghost army couldn't help but smash the horse's belly, came to Helianbo's side, and said in a low voice:

"General, the previous general of our department was beheaded by this person, which shows that he is brave, and he must be the general of the Central Plains."

When Helian Bo heard this, he didn't answer this question, but looked at the defenders who were waiting in the city, and then looked at Peng Shuang, who took the initiative to open the city, and frowned slightly:

"Liucheng's troops are so sufficient, this is something I didn't expect, no wonder I fell into a bitter battle yesterday."

Hearing him say this, the adjutant general couldn't help but move the corners of his mouth: "General, looking at its scale, if our army attacks again today, I'm afraid it will still be the same as yesterday, and the only dry food left in our department is not enough to support it." ”

"Speak your mind." Helian Bo glanced at the lieutenant general.

The adjutant general said: "If the siege of the city today is still unsuccessful, then we will delay in front of Liucheng for another day, if at this time, Lu Bolin's main army will attack the rear of our army and cut off the retreat of our army, then at that time, we will not be able to retreat if we want to." ”

"En......" Helian Bo also began to hesitate.

What the adjutant general said, he also understood in his heart, he thought that the defenders of Liucheng were already short of troops, and they would be able to break the city today, but he didn't expect that this was the case.

Seeing that he was pondering, the adjutant general also persuaded again: "The opponent has sufficient troops, and his morale is like a rainbow, and he relies on the defense of the city, dare to ask the general, can you be completely sure that within two days, you will break through Liucheng?" ”

"This ......," Helenburg's brow furrowed even deeper.

"In that case, the general suggests that it is better to withdraw the army, in case there is a change." Said the adjutant general.

Helian Bo looked at the city pass again and said, "But if I retreat like this, I am unwilling!" ”

The grain and grass were destroyed, and the city pass in front of him could not be breached, and there was only one way to die.

This was the adjutant general's thoughts, and he immediately said: "General, even if you attack again today, according to the defense of Liucheng, our troops will increase casualties in vain, and it will be postponed here for another day, the general must not hesitate!" Retreating one day later is to give Lu Bolin one more day! ”

He persuaded him several times, and between his words, he became more and more anxious, Helian Bo weighed the pros and cons, and after a while, he couldn't help but clench his fist fiercely, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! The order went down, and the whole army retreated north! ”

"Yes! The last general will go down and give orders! The adjutant general was overjoyed when he heard this.

Helian Bo didn't know the truth of Liucheng's defense, thinking that the defenders had enough troops, and it would be in vain to fight for another day, and most importantly, the destruction of grain and grass made him worry that he would be trapped in front of Liucheng.

Liu Yuzhi grasped his psychology and successfully retreated from the enemy with a suspicious strategy.

The ghost army came quickly, and the retreat was also fast, looking at the ghost army that receded like a tide, the people in the city who pretended to be soldiers secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and their tight nerves were also relaxed, and the body that stood straight before immediately softened.

At the city gate, seeing that the ghost army had retreated, Peng Shuanggang was about to turn his horse's head back to the city, but Liu Yuzhi leaned out half of his body from the city, and said: "General Peng is pursuing as a possibility!" ”

Yes? Now that I have finally retreated from the ghost army, I have only 2,000 troops on my side, and I still have to pursue?

When Peng Shuang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Liu Yuzhi in the city, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Okay!" Believe you again! ”

As he spoke, he also flicked the reins, pointed the long knife in his hand forward, and shouted: "Kill—"

He gave an order, led more than 1,000 soldiers, and began to pursue in the direction of the retreat of the ghost army, and after a while, the news also reached Helianbo, who heard the words and immediately said: "It seems that the troops of Liucheng are far more than that, and it is right not to stay here." ”

His lieutenant also nodded approvingly: "Yes, if it weren't for that, how would the enemy dare to pursue." ”

Helian Bo didn't say anything more, but began to order: "Order, the crossbowmen shoot the opponent's foot......"

Liu Yuzhi said that he was chasing after him, Peng Shuang was not a fool, of course he could understand that after pretending to chase for a while, and after encountering the opponent's crossbowman, he also returned to Liucheng.

After returning to the city, he also immediately found Liu Yuzhi, laughed and said: "Lord Liu, this strategy is really feasible, without spending a single soldier, he will retreat from the ghost army, and I admire it." ”

"Huh?" Liu Yuzhi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Just now, it was actually very risky, my heart, but it has been hanging." ”

As he spoke, he continued: "If the grain and grass of the ghost army are still there, they will not retreat, according to this, General Xiao must have succeeded." ”

"En......" Peng Shuang also nodded, and before he could speak, Liu Yuzhi said again: "This battle is all thanks to General Xiao's soldiers, if it weren't for this, Liucheng would be difficult to defend, but I don't know what happened to General Xiao now." ”
