This ambush battle lasted for more than two hours.
It was not until the arrows brought by the Qin army were all used up that they descended the mountain with infantry for the final finish.
In the valley, blood flowed like a river.
Every step was littered with corpses.
Some are covered with eagle feathers, like hedgehogs.
Some were still pressed there by boulders.
Thirty thousand ghost tribe reinforcements were sent to the army, but the entire army was wiped out.
After some finishing touches, Su Yi went down the mountain, the army gathered, and the generals from various ministries also came to report.
"Commander Su, how will our army behave now?"
"Well, aren't we out of dry food? Go to Pingyi!"
Pingyi.
With a bang, the city gate was slammed open.
"The city gate has been breached! Soldiers, follow me and charge!!!"
Ye Gui raised his spear, shouted loudly, and was the first to rush in.
"Kill--"
Countless spiritual troops behind him also swarmed into the city gate.
At the same time, the defense lines at the top of the city also fell one after another, and the ghost army on the city also began to fight and retreat.
The battle to break the city in Pingyi was even worse than the defeat in Licheng, because the ghost army here only numbered more than 10,000. Under the non-stop day and night attack by the spirit army, there were not many troops left.
At this time, the city was broken, and the last two thousand ghost troops had almost no intention of resisting. They simply threw away their weapons, turned around and ran away.
Somewhere in the city, Metz was being protected by a general and a dozen guards just like he was in Licheng.
"General, let's go quickly!" the general still said urgently.
"Go? Tell me, where to go?" Metz smiled bitterly, and had no intention of escaping. It was not that he had the backbone, but that he knew in his heart that there was no way to escape.
"But General..."
The general wanted to say something more, but Mace raised his hand to interrupt him and said: "Forget it, forget it, it's a dead end..."
"Reinforcements, our reinforcements..."
Until this moment, he still couldn't figure out why it was like this when the promised reinforcements would arrive in two days!
Looking at the ghost army soldiers who were fleeing for their lives around him, he did not stop them or say anything. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the scimitar in his hand, then raised it and put it on his neck.
"General!"
The general's eyes widened, and he was about to stop him, but Mace held him down with his left hand: "General, I must not fall into the hands of the Central Plains army, otherwise, my life will be worse than death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he still paused, then mustered up the courage to wipe it off hard.
Blood was sprayed, but the general did not stop him, because he would regret it. Metz had committed a lot of crimes in the Central Plains. If he was captured, the consequences could be imagined.
Looking at Mace's body, all the guards were dumbfounded, but the general also lowered his head and looked at the scimitar in his hand...
evening.
Pingyi County Government Hall.
Just like the recapture of Licheng, the generals of the Ling Army have already reported on post-war matters.
Ye Gui said angrily: "Then Mesi and his generals committed suicide. Such a devil really took advantage of them!"
"Okay." Huang Zu said: "Now that Licheng and Pingyi have been recovered, I just don't know what is happening with the Qin army now."
"Setting up an ambush in the mountains, if the ghost army doesn't know it, they will definitely be attacked head-on. I think it will go smoothly." The general will receive it.
"Yes." Huang Zu nodded. Just as he was about to say something more, a soldier ran in quickly, knelt on one knee and said, "Commander Huang, the Qin army is here."
"Oh? So soon?" Huang Zu raised his eyebrows and said to the soldiers: "Send my military order to open the city."
"No!" the soldier took the order and left.
After he left, Huang Zu called to everyone: "Let's go, come with me to greet him."
Ye Gui was a little unhappy: "Tsk, what's there to welcome!"
"Huh? We are allied forces and we are all fighting against the foreigners as one, and the other party is Commander Qin. If we don't welcome them, it will be disrespectful to our spiritual country." Huang Zudao.
Hearing what he said, Ye Gui could only curl his lips.
Not long after, the order was conveyed to the city gate, the city gate opened, and Su Yi began to lead his troops in.
On the way to the county capital, he naturally met the generals of the Ling Army.
Seeing him, Huang Zu had a smile on his face before he even got close. He walked forward, cupping his hands and saying, "General Su, you are well."
"General Huang." Su Yi also quickly got off his horse and returned the salute with fists in his hands.
When two parties meet, no matter what they think in their hearts, on the surface, they must exchange false polite greetings.
"Without General Su's help this time, our army would not have been able to conquer Pingyi so easily."
"Come on, General Huang is serious. We are all on the same page, so we should communicate with each other."
After the scene was finished, Huang Zu also reached out sideways and said: "General, please."
"please."
At the same time, the Allied forces camped.
After setting the strategic policy and dispatching troops, the Allied camp was no longer in Baize, but moved near the front line, which was equivalent to directly behind the three lines of troops.
At this time, the previous battle reports from all parties have been sent back.
Inside the Spirit King’s tent.
After reading Huang Zu's letter, he handed it to Cheng Ping.
The latter quickly stepped forward and took it respectfully. After looking at it, he frowned slightly.
"What do you think?" Spirit King asked.
Cheng Ping collected the letter and hesitated for a moment before saying: "Su Yi is a rare military talent and a very important figure under the King of Qin. Although there is nothing now, in the end, if the King wants to compete with the King of Qin, In the world, this person must be eliminated!"
"Well..." King Ling pondered for a moment. Of course he agreed with what Cheng Ping said, but he was full of worry and said: "The King of Qin is not a foolish king, and his plot to alienate people is counter-intuitive. I'm afraid it won't work on him. This matter , let’s plan it later.”
On the other side, Xiao Yuan's camp.
It was already dark and dinner had been eaten. He was sitting behind the case, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand, looking at the strategies of some famous people.
Not long after, Xu Hu's voice came from outside the tent: "His Royal Highness King Xuan."
Because Xiao Yuan had already told him that there was no need to stop King Xuan, so after the voice passed, the latter also stepped in.
"Brother Wang!"
"Ah? What's wrong?" Xiao Yuan put down the bamboo slips. Hearing something was wrong in her tone, he couldn't help but look at her with a little doubt.
King Xuan stepped forward, slightly dissatisfied: "According to the battle report, the Qin army has moved to the northwest front. But will Xuan's army be in some danger?"
Xiao Yuan thought about it and said, "Sister Wang, don't worry about this."
King Xuan said: "Based on the current war situation, Su Yi's use of troops has exceeded everyone's expectations. Do the Allies need to change their strategic direction?"
"Inappropriate!" Xiao Yuan said sternly: "The three commanders are outside. If the highest order is issued from the Allied camp, and when we reach the front line, the battle situation may not be what we thought. So don't give orders from such a distance. You will fight." It messed up their battle plan."
After hearing the words, King Xuan thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said: "Although what Brother Wang said is reasonable, I am still a little worried..."
