There are 500,000 Allied troops. Of course, it is impossible for all of them to go to the battlefield. The plains outside Wuxia Pass cannot accommodate so many people.
So Xiao Yuan divided them into three batches.
The troops attacking the city during the day were the main force of the Allied forces, followed closely by the second group at midnight, and the third group at midnight.
Due to the previous exploration and research on Wuxia Pass, this place was not suitable for a night attack, so these two troops mainly had the effect of weakening the enemy and did not carry out a true strong attack.
To put it simply, after my main force attacks, I go down to rest, and the reserve soldiers immediately follow and continue to harass you, which means that you will always be in a wartime state without a moment's rest.
night.
Outside the city gate there were still shouts of killing Zhentian.
The flaming arrows rained sparsely towards the city.
There are also trebuchets that are started from time to time to eject oil jars.
It seemed that there was a lot of movement, but in fact, the Allies did not have much intention to attack by force. Most of the personnel on both sides attacked and harassed them from a distance, and there was not much damage at all.
But Urcha was worried. He kept shouting from the top of the city: "The enemy is attacking at night! Keep your spirits up! Hold the city gate!"
Under such circumstances, the main force of the Allied forces remained in elite condition. As soon as the sky broke, the harassing troops were withdrawn and replaced with the main force to attack. However, the ghost army had no peace. When the battle resumed, it can be imagined that .
Allied camp.
There was a fierce battle during the day. The generals of each department had already counted and reported. After everyone had finished summing up the battle, King Ling couldn't help but complained: "Brother King Qin, in such a fierce battle, your Qin army can fight, but the Ling army can't bear it." No, if this continues, I fear our soldiers will suffer heavy casualties."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan suddenly became a little angry, and his tone became a bit colder: "Brother Ling Wang, what do you mean? Your Ling Army is fighting fiercely, and our Qin Army soldiers are killing the enemy in bloody battles!"
"This is not what I meant." King Ling defended.
Xiao Yuandao: "To storm the city gate is a helpless move, but we have no other way to go. If the war continues to stalemate, the longer it goes, the greater the losses will be. Only by attacking this place quickly can we reduce unnecessary casualties."
This is for sure. The more days you attack, the more people will die.
When the Spirit King heard this, he thought for a moment, then said helplessly: "Okay."
Afterwards, Cheng Ping stood up, raised his hands and said, "I very much agree with His Highness King Qin's strategy of attacking hard during the day and weakening the enemy at night. However, at the same time, the people of Huan in the pass will also play a great role in the entire battlefield."
"Just the people of Huandi?" Ye Gui sneered and said unceremoniously: "King Huan was defeated and surrendered. The people of Huandi have no intention of resisting. They will only be enslaved by the ghosts! War is The soldiers came to fight, what role can the common people play!"
Cheng Ping glanced at him and said with a smile: "Common people are the trend of the times. Before, Yan Zheng refused to give up any ground. His death in battle aroused the bloody instincts of some people and also caused many places in Huandi to tremble. But now It’s just a matter of fire.”
"It's just short of starting a prairie fire. You can imagine what the effect will be if the people of Huanjing and the whole people resist!"
"In this war, the ghost clan will be defeated sooner or later. It depends on how the Allies make decisions."
After he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan thought about it for a moment, and then made a decisive decision: "Okay! Just do what Mr. Cheng said! Completely awaken the people's resistance!"
"Lin Chu!"
"The general is here!"
"Make plans now!"
"promise!"
A few days later, Pinggu County was in a wilderness.
There are a lot of rocks here, which look like mining areas.
In the field, thousands of Chinese men, with their hands and feet wearing iron chains, were doing hard work. Some were waving their arms and digging hard, and some worked in pairs to load the stones into carts.
Every ten or so steps around, there stood a ghost soldier with a scimitar hanging on his waist and a riding whip in his hand, looking back and forth with sharp eyes.
The clanking sound of digging came one after another, mixed with the shouts and curses of the ghost army.
Some people may not have eaten enough, or they may have suffered too much. As soon as they picked up the excavated stones, they could no longer hold on and almost fell down.
The stone fell to the ground, and what followed was a severe whip!
This whip was fast and poisonous. It split open the skin and flesh. The man immediately screamed out in pain, rolling on the ground and wailing.
But how could the ghost army spare him? He waved his hand and whipped him again, while glaring and cursing:
"Get up! If you dare to be lazy again, I will kill you! Ghost language"
"Master, please spare my life, Master, please spare my life..." After such a severe beating, the man did not dare to resist. While repeatedly begging for mercy, he could only bear the pain and get up. Although he was gasping for air in pain, he started to move hurriedly.
The ghost sergeant glanced around again: "Move quickly!"
Obviously, these people are Pinggu people enslaved by the ghost tribe.
The scene just now happens every day.
Among the people working, a young man seemed to make a move, but the man next to him subconsciously grabbed him and said with worry on his face: "Sixth son."
The young man named Liuzi glanced at him and signaled with his eyes, then threw away the tools in his hands, jumped up to a high point, and suddenly shouted: "Folks!"
The crowd was stunned, and the surrounding ghost army didn't react at all.
Because in normal times, no one would dare to make such an action.
But at this moment, Liuzi shouted again: "Folks! Do you know where we transported these stones? To the front line! And there, our soldiers are fighting bloody battles with the ghost army!"
"But we are digging big rocks for the ghost army, and using these stones to kill our soldiers! Help the ghost army stop Wuxia Pass!"
"Do you know what we are doing!"
ah! ? Hearing these words, everyone had a look of shock on their faces.
"Bold! Ghost language" All the ghost soldiers also came to their senses, and the two people nearby immediately screamed, drew their scimitars, and rushed towards them.
But just as they approached, the man from before had already pounced on one of them and started fighting with him.
Liu Zi also roared, struck preemptively, knocked down another ghost soldier with his shoulder, then picked up a stone, aimed it at his head, and hit him hard.
Blood spurts.
"See! These demons are humans too! There's nothing to be afraid of!"
"Folks! What are you waiting for! Why don't you resist!"
"Are we going to let the ghosts invade our home?"
"Think of our wives and daughters! They were captured by demons and are now in hell!"
Where there is oppression, there is resistance.
Their parents were killed, their wives and daughters were captured by the ghost clan, and they themselves were enslaved. Everyone felt a surge of rage in their hearts. They were suppressed by force before and did not dare to resist. Now someone raised their arms and shouted, it is conceivable that Know!
"Kill"
"Fight them"
