Spirit Army Camp.
At this time, Huang Zu had led his army to the vicinity of Pingyi and set up camp temporarily.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, all the generals gathered together and looked at him without blinking. Ye Gui was impatient and couldn't help but ask: "Shuai Huang, what did the Qin army say in the letter?"
Huang Zu put away the letter in his hand, glanced at him and said, "This letter is written by Qin Commander Su Yi. Tongcheng has been captured by the Qin army, but they are not in a hurry to continue their advance. Instead, they attack with surprise troops. Now that we have surrounded Pingyi, we will fight with our army on the northwest front."
With that said, he stood up and walked to the sand table. He first looked down and then pointed to a place and said, "According to the letter, Su Yi's extraordinary troops should be here."
All the generals were also following him. When they heard the words, they lowered their heads and saw it immediately.
The partial general immediately beamed with joy: "Shuai Huang, if the Qin army suddenly appears here, it will be equivalent to cutting off the ghost tribe's reinforcements. Isn't Pingyi City in the pocket?"
"That's right! The Pingyi ghost army only has more than 10,000 people. Without reinforcements, our army only needs to attack for two or three days and we will definitely win it in one fell swoop!"
Another general was full of excitement, and after speaking, he raised his fist towards Huang Zu: "Huang Shuai! Since the Qin army is cooperating, we should use our troops immediately!"
"Well..." Huang Zu nodded slowly. He was a famous general in the Ling Kingdom. In this situation, he naturally would not hesitate and said immediately:
"Send the order! Launch a strong attack on Pingyi immediately! Force the ghost tribe's reinforcements to step up and fall into the Qin army's ambush circle!"
"No!" All the generals clasped their fists.
After everyone went down to prepare for battle, there was only one civil servant left in the tent.
This civil servant, Bo, who has always been with the army, is no exception this time. He is very familiar with Huang Zu. Now seeing that he is not as excited as other generals, the civil servant can't help but ask: "What is Commander Huang worried about?"
"No, this battle will be won. I'm not worried, it's just..."
At this point, Huang Zu glanced at the civil servant and suddenly changed the topic: "Can you see Su Yi's ultimate strategic purpose?"
"This..." The civil servant hesitated and said truthfully: "It's still unknown."
"He is probably going to fight against the siege." Huang Zu said quietly: "This man has a unique military vision, does not adhere to common sense, does not abide by the art of war, and has rich battlefield experience. No wonder the King of Qin values him so much."
The civil servant didn't know how to answer, so he could only say: "Su Yi, a famous general of the Qin State, did not gain his fame in vain."
Huang Zu smiled and didn't say more about it. Instead, he returned to Shuai'an and started writing.
This is a battle report sent to King Ling. He wrote a lot. Not only did he explain his current situation in detail, he also mentioned Su Yi.
At noon, the Ling Army troops came to the city, and then without saying a word, they immediately launched a strong attack on Pingyi City.
This time the siege was still very bloody.
The blood of soldiers on both sides spilled over the city gates.
The Spiritual Army went forward one after another. Looking from a distance, there were strings of soldiers climbing desperately on the ladders.
Stones and rolling wood were falling continuously, and arrows were flying back and forth in the sky.
On top of the city, the ghost soldiers resisted desperately.
Due to the defeat of Licheng, Pingyi has been more careful. Not only has the city defense been reinforced, but the defense line has also been tight. As long as there is a gap in one place, someone will immediately come up behind.
In this case, the advantage of the ghost army's individual combat capability is reflected. With the defense of the city, with more than 10,000 people, there should be no problem in defending for a few days.
But Mace was so panicked that he couldn't help but grab a ghost soldier by the collar: "Where are the reinforcements! Haven't the reinforcements arrived yet!?"
"You villain, I don't know, General..." Gui Jun stammered.
Metz was furious and pushed him away. At this moment, a messenger ran up in a panic. Before he arrived, he shouted urgently: "Reinforcements! We have reinforcements, general - "
ah! ? When Metz heard this, his eyes widened immediately and he quickly grabbed the soldier: "Where are the reinforcements! Where are the reinforcements!?"
"The news has come. In two days, at most two days, reinforcements will arrive!" The messenger hurriedly returned.
"Okay!" After hearing this, Mess suddenly gained some confidence. After letting go of the messenger, he also held a scimitar and shouted loudly:
"Warriors! Our reinforcements will be arriving soon——"
"Hold it! Keep it all to me—"
"As long as we hold on this time, the Spirit Army will definitely be defeated -"
With his encouragement and the news of reinforcements, the ghost army's morale was undoubtedly boosted, and their resistance became more intense.
This siege battle lasted from noon until it was almost dark, and then it came to an end.
Under the fierce resistance of the Pingyi ghost army, the Ling army had no choice but to temporarily withdraw its troops.
But then, Huang Zu issued an order:
"The first, third, fifth, and seventh infantry formations are the first echelon."
"The second, fourth, sixth, and eighth formations of infantry are the second echelon."
"Use the ninth and tenth infantry formations as supporting troops."
"Launch a day and night attack on Pingyi!"
"Generals of all ministries, tell the soldiers below! Everyone must fight bravely to kill the enemy!"
"Pingyi must be conquered within two days!"
"While the Qin army is annihilating the ghost tribe's reinforcements, cooperate with them to complete the tactical clearing of the northwest front!"
"I have the order!" All the generals shouted in shock and clasped their fists.
Under his highest military order, the spirit army began to take turns to attack without stopping, and was ready to wipe out the more than 10,000 ghost troops in Pingyi City.
Under such a sharp attack, the ghost army was somewhat unable to withstand it, and its strength continued to decrease sharply.
Two days later, the Qin army ambushed the main road.
On the left side of the mountain, Su Yi was lying leisurely on a large rock as he had been the previous two days.
Xu Rong couldn't help but came over and said slightly worriedly: "Su Shuai, we have been waiting here for three days, and there is no sign of the ghost army. Moreover, the dry food carried by the soldiers has almost been eaten up."
Due to the surprise attack, this army cannot carry food, grass and baggage at all, and there is no need to think about any follow-up supplies.
Su Yi said in a calm voice: "Isn't there a spring in the mountain?"
"Yes, the water source is not a problem, it's just..." Xu Rong said.
But before he finished speaking, Su Yi interrupted him: "As long as there is a water source, keep waiting. If you don't have anything to eat, just eat grass."
He said it so easily that Xu Rong couldn't help but swallow when he heard the words.
He only joined the Qin army when Xiao Yuan was pacifying the Liang Kingdom. How could he know about the difficult battles the Qin army had fought before.
At this moment, a Snow Clan spy also lowered his waist and hurried over, knelt on one knee and said: "Shuai Su! There's something going on!"
"Oh!?" When Su Yi heard this, he was shocked and immediately stood up. While lying behind the big stone and looking down, he also pressed his hands behind him.
The countless Qin soldiers behind him understood, and instantly stopped talking in low voices and other actions, and all lowered their bodies.
Xu Rongyi lay next to Su Yi with a nervous look on his face.
