The soldiers of the Northwest Army never lacked blood, and in the face of enemy troops several times their size, no one was afraid and no one retreated.

When the Xiliang army climbed the city wall, they smashed it with stones, splashed it with oil, cut it with swords, and blocked it with their bodies.

The battle lasted from the fourth watch to dawn, and then to the west.

The remnant sun is like blood, reflecting the sky and the earth.

The Xiliang army attacked round after round, seemingly endlessly, and there was no time to stop.

At the foot of the city wall were piled up the corpses of soldiers, including those of the Western Liang Army and the Northwest Army. The walls were also full of corpses, which they used as stones to smash the ladder and shields against arrows, regardless of whether they were their enemies or their comrades.

The soldiers defending the city were all exhausted, they had not eaten water and rice for a day, and they were fighting repeatedly, and everyone's physical strength seemed to have reached the limit, and they all relied on a ruthless strength to hold on.

There is no soul, no pain, no fear of life and death.

Lu Ling was already red-eyed, his body was soaked in blood, and there was a broken arrow blocked in his shoulder armor, but the bow and arrow in his hand did not stop for a moment.

He looked at the Xiliang army with no end in sight, and suddenly realized that it seemed that the Xiliang army was not 80,000, and they should have increased their troops again.

Lu Ling's lieutenant general used his body to block in front of him and shouted, "General, you better go back to the camp to rest for a while, it's good if there is a general!"

Lu Ling glanced at the small group of soldiers who came up around him, they were making a final plan, wanting to save his life as a general.

He looked at the eldest brother who was not far from him, and the eldest brother's face was painted black to hide his appearance, but who cared about seeing who was around him at this time. The eldest brother also seems to be injured, and the movements of his right hand are obviously not smooth, but his face is always calm and resolute.

The eldest brother is right, they have a third brother in the Lu family, isn't this how the previous generation came over? Raising an unmotivated third child can retain the bloodline of the Lu family. The emperor can't even let go of a single waste.

Lu Ling turned his head and pushed the lieutenant general away, "Get out of the way!"

He continued to shoot arrows, choosing those who appeared to be leaders and generals to shoot.

The adjutant general rubbed his face and shouted at the soldiers, "You stay by the general's side and make sure the general is safe!"

The soldiers shouted in unison, "Yes!"

Lu Bing over there heard the movement and looked at the second brother.

There was a moment of unworthiness in his heart, not worth it for the 100,000 Northwest Army, not worth it for the Lu family.

The second brother is twenty years old this year, and he is in the prime of life, if he lives in Beijing, it will inevitably overshadow the children of those wealthy families, and it will inevitably attract the secret consent of many women living in the boudoir. Perhaps his life is going to be lost today.

General Ghostface, when will you show up?

I can't hold it anymore.

Lu Bing's eyes suddenly tightened, staring at the blackened soldiers and horses in the distance, the boiling yellow sand obscured their faces, and only the black battle clothes loomed.

And the Xiliang Army, which was originally pressed forward, seemed to be encircling and dispersing in array.

A light flashed in Lu Bing's eyes-

Ghost-faced General!

Only he can have such a momentum like a bamboo, and he is still in a crushing condescension in front of the powerful Xiliang Army!

The ghost-faced general actually went around to Xiliang and outflanked them from behind!

With so many soldiers and horses, how did he evade the ears and eyes of the Xiliang army? ….

Lu Bing's spirits were greatly lifted, and he walked quickly to Lu Ling's side, pointing in the distance, "Look there!"

Lu Ling squinted his eyes and said happily, "Ghost Face General!"

Lu Bing bowed his head slightly.

Lu Ling raised his arms and shouted, "General Ghost Face is here, let's work with General Ghost Face to make dumplings for the Xiliang Army!"

"The Ghost-faced General is here!"

"The Ghost-faced General is here!"

……

The morale of the officers and soldiers of the Northwest Army was greatly boosted, and their bodies were instantly full of strength, fighting against another wave of the Xiliang Army that rushed up.

The outflanked soldiers and horses in the rear were getting closer and closer, and Lu Bing could already see the mighty figure of the black horse on the city wall.

Led by the black-clad general

The leader of the ghost was fanged, leaned over and galloped on the black horse, his body was as sharp as a sharp blade out of the sheath, the sword in his hand was cold and shining, and everywhere he went, blood flowed like a river, and no one survived.

He was surrounded by a soaring murderous aura, like a bloody Yama, which made the Xiliang army fearful.

And more and more of the Xiliang army in front also noticed the problem, "General Ghost Face!"

Many soldiers immediately panicked, they had just heard the rumors, and they didn't think that there were really people!

The morale of the Xiliang army was greatly damaged, and the attack was out of order. Many battle formations began to turn and run back, trying to break through the flanking in the rear.

The leader shouted, "Retreat! Fall back! Break out!"

It's a pity that it's too late.

Although Cizhou is flat, the location of the closed door must be relatively narrow, and the rear is blocked, so it is not so easy to break through. In particular, the opponent's soldiers and horses seem to be much more numerous than the defenders, and their combat power is extremely strong.

Seeing that the siege stopped, the Northwest Army Brigade withdrew from the city wall, the city gate opened, and the horses rushed out.

The Xiliang army suffered from the enemy on its back, and a tragic slaughter unfolded in the sunset, and the heavens and the earth changed color.

The night is closed, covering the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood.

The Western Liang Army was dispersed, and the Northwest Army still wanted to pursue, but Lu Ling ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

The adjutant general was unwilling, "General, you can annihilate them all at your fingertips!"

Lu Ling looked at the black rider who was far away, his eyes were full of reverence, if he could see the ghost-faced general and talk to him, it would be great.

It's just that now is the time to cover up his identity, if they pursue the past, the two armies will inevitably meet, and so many officers and soldiers of the Northwest Army will inevitably find clues.

He said, "With General Ghostface here, what are you worried about?"

The lieutenant general grinned, scratched his head, and said, "I want to see the ghost-faced general up close."

Lu Ling patted him on the shoulder, turned around and walked back, "Collect the troops!"

The adjutant general followed him, "General, is the Ghost Face General the prince?"

Lu Ling smiled, "Confidential."

The lieutenant seemed to seize the loophole in his words and said in surprise, "That's it!"

That's right, looking at the entire Great Northwest, who else can have this ability except for the prince?

The next morning, the Northwest Army, which had been repairing all night, cleaned up the battlefield, and the Northwest Army lost more than 6,000 people, while the corpses of the Xiliang Army left outside the city gate were more than 40,000.

The vast majority of the 6,000 soldiers and horses lost by the Northwest Army were lost before the arrival of General Ghostface.

Lu Ling stood on the city wall and looked into the distance, the camp of the Xiliang Army was already empty, and their remnants seemed to have retreated far away.

He turned around, and saw the eldest brother walking down the wall and driving his horse away.

Big brother's mission is complete, it's time to go back to the border city.

With this battle, the Xiliang army easily did not dare to invade Cizhou again in the short term. Because there is a ghost-faced general in Cizhou.

The border city hundreds of miles away has just experienced a great battle that is no less tragic than Cizhou.

More than 100,000 soldiers and horses are attacking the city strongly, because the landing ice is not in the border city, the main will be the crown prince Zhao Chen.

The battle lasted all day, and just when the Northwest Army was exhausted, the Xiliang Army camp in the distance was filled with thick smoke and flames, reflecting the night sky of the entire border city.
