"Oh?" Huang Zu smiled, because this was completely expected: "Bring it here and have a look."
He took notice and waved his hand sideways.
Following his actions, four ghost soldiers were escorted in.
The hands of the four people were tied behind their backs, and they were tied tightly. They all looked like foreigners and dressed up as foreigners.
"Kneel down!" The spirit army immediately stopped shouting.
After being escorted here, the four ghost soldiers naturally knew that the enemy commander was directly above them. They didn't dare to hesitate. They all knelt down with a thud and began to babble.
Some people began to kowtow constantly.
Although everyone in the Spirit Army could not understand what they were saying, they could tell from their appearance and attitude that they were begging for mercy.
The general couldn't help but sneered: "You have the nerve to beg for mercy!"
Huang Zu frowned and asked, "Does anyone here understand the ghost language?"
"This..." General Pian thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid not. If you can say this kind of bird singing, only a few people in Huandi can do it."
"Trouble, I wanted to learn something about the situation in Licheng from them." Huang Zudao: "In that case, there is no need to keep them."
The general responded, waved his hand directly to the soldiers and said, "Take them down and chop them down!"
"promise!"
The soldiers took the order and began to walk out in groups of two, dragging the four ghost soldiers.
The latter four naturally had a premonition of what would happen next. They were screaming and howling at the top of their lungs.
Even though the ghost army looked like demons when they oppressed the people of Huandi, they were still human beings, and they would be too cowardly if they really encountered a force that fought hard.
The next day, in Licheng.
The spy hasn't come back yet, and Mace obviously knows what happened, and he can't help but become more and more anxious:
"It seems that something happened to the spy sent by our army to defend Senya from the Ling Army camp."
As he spoke, he quickly turned to look at one person and asked anxiously: "Have our reinforcements arrived?"
The reason for this was because he was a little flustered and couldn't figure out what Huang Zu was planning.
The ghost army general heard the words and returned truthfully: "The rear told us that we should hold on for another half month, because the Qin army's offensive on the center line is too fierce and the troop mobilization is somewhat insufficient."
"Hateful!" Metz said first, and then said helplessly: "We still have more than 20,000 troops. It shouldn't be a problem to defend for half a month."
"Now, no matter what Huang Zu's plan is, as long as the spirit army dares to attack, we will fight them back!"
Just like that, another ten days passed.
The spiritual army finally made a move and once again approached the city.
However, this time, there was no general calling for formation, and there was no aggressive attack posture. Instead, after arriving, the army began to push the trebuchets to the front, and then began to transport stone bombs one by one.
The Spirit Army has a total of 200,000 people. The manpower is so huge. After collecting for the first half month, you can imagine how much they have to hoard.
On the top of the city, watching the spiritual army running back and forth outside the city, piling big rocks into piles, Mace could not help but widen his eyes: "What are they going to do!?"
Before the general around him could answer, something had changed again on the Lingjun side.
"Filling rocks——"
Some generals shouted loudly.
The Ling soldiers began to work together to load the stone bullets into the trebuchet.
"put--"
The command flag was waved, the sound of mechanical bounces was heard one after another, and a row of large rocks was thrown through an arc in the air and crashed into various places in the city gate.
Some hit the city wall and made a loud noise.
Some hit the top of the city, destroying arrow stacks and other things to pieces.
There were even big rocks smashed into the crowd, causing blood to splash.
"Escape first! Be ready to fight back at any time! After the Spirit Army's trebuchet passes, the siege will begin——"
While Metz raised his waist, he kept shouting.
But this time, he was wrong.
The Spirit Army did not just use trebuchets to suppress them as before, but had no intention of stopping at all.
All the trebuchets were arranged in three rows. After the first row was completed, they immediately began to reload the stone bombs. At the same time, the second row began to eject, and then reloaded after the completion, and the third row followed closely. .
After the third row of stone bombs was fired, the first row just finished reloading, and then it was the same as before.
With such staggered projections, there is no space at all in the middle.
Under such intensive attacks, the stone bullets seemed to be free of charge, one after another without stopping.
Soon, Licheng city defenses underwent obvious changes.
Whenever another stone bullet hits, you can clearly feel that the entire city wall is shaking slightly and ash particles fall down.
Under such circumstances, Metz, who was hiding in a safe place, was already shocked.
"The spiritual army hasn't stopped yet!?"
"Yes...yes, general..." The general beside him trembled.
"What do they want to do!?" Metz was about to speak again, but several screams suddenly came from not far away.
That's a person's instinctive reaction when they suddenly fail.
A corner of the city wall there had suddenly collapsed, leaving a huge gap. The ghost army soldiers who had just been standing on it were caught off guard and fell instantly, being buried by bricks and stones.
ah! ? Seeing this scene, Metz was shocked, and as a gap appeared in a city defense, soon, the entire city wall seemed to be crumbling.
"General! The Ling Army is going to destroy the city wall of Licheng. It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. It's better to get down quickly!" the general exclaimed.
Mace also reacted, and if he dared to stay anywhere, he kept waving his hands and shouting: "Retreat! Escape quickly——"
As soon as he finished speaking, he also kept his body low and quickly fled down the city.
As soon as the general left, it was obvious that the other ghost soldiers were scrambling to be the first.
Soon, there was no one at the top of the city, and another city defense collapsed at this time, and then another.
From a distance, Licheng looks like a ruined city.
At this time, the spirit army's reserve of stone bullets had almost been used up, and there were many gaps. There was no need for a ladder at all. The infantry could enter directly along the open places.
"All armies attack!"
"All soldiers! Enter Licheng!"
"Kill--"
The handsome flag waved, the war drum thundered, and the sound was like exploding beans!
The morale of the Spirit Army soldiers was greatly boosted. They picked up their weapons one after another, took off their steps, roared and charged forward crazily.
Like the erosion of the tide, the entire army surged forward rapidly.
The ghost army had been suppressed by the trebuchet before and was running away. Now it is impossible to hold on to the gap.
Following several collapsed places, the Spiritual Army entered the city in an instant.
The sound of weapons clashing came from time to time, accompanied by people's howls.
With blood splattering, every time Ye Guimei fired, several people would be swept away and sent flying.
Such a brave general made people tremble with fear. The ghost armies around him were filled with chills. No one dared to blunt his edge. As more and more spirit armies entered, many ghost armies turned around and ran away.
Somewhere in the city.
After Metz came down, he was beaten and retreated by a group of ghost troops, escorted all the way.
The general beside him shouted urgently:
"General! If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
