The general glared angrily, and the spy turned pale with fright. He was grabbed by the neck collar, and dared not resist. He stammered: "Ping... Pinggu has been lost..."
"Ah" Urcha roared and pushed the spies away, his hair and beard almost standing out: "Damn it! How dare these slaves resist! I must kill them all!"
When the deputy general saw this, he swallowed and said cautiously: "Then, general, what should we do now?"
Urcha's anger remained unabated, and without even thinking, he immediately said: "Of course we will quickly recapture Pinggu!"
"Yes, but Wuxia Pass has been under heavy attack one after another, and the situation is already critical. If we divide our troops further, we may end up with insufficient troops." The deputy general said worriedly.
"Don't worry!" Urcha raised his hand and said seriously: "Based on the past few days, the Allied forces' real offensives are all during the day and night. They are just a way to disturb the enemy, so don't ignore them. We should take advantage of this night to quickly get Pinggu back, otherwise, the situation will be truly dangerous!"
"This..." The deputy general was still hesitant.
But Urcha was already glaring and shouted: "Hurry up and get ready!"
Why was he so angry and anxious? It was because Pinggu was behind it, and all the grain, grass, supplies and city defense equipment needed their so-called slaves to transport them. If they were gone and the supplies were cut off, how could they hold Wuxia Pass.
On the other side, the Allied camp.
Xiao Yuan has naturally received the news and is currently discussing with the other two kings.
King Ling said: "The people finally have the heart to resist the foreigners. The uprising in Pinggu has a great impact on the ghost army, which is equivalent to directly cutting off their back line and supplies."
"That's right." Xiao Yuan said: "Not only that, but if there is resistance in one place, it will soon spread throughout Huandi, and the ghost army will be gone!"
King Xuan said: "Only when the nation dares to resist can we work together to expel foreign enemies faster. If we had done this earlier, the ghost tribe might not have been able to occupy these places."
"This is somewhat related to King Huan." Xiao Yuandao.
"Hmph! That old man is really despicable and shameful!" King Xuan smiled coldly, and then his face straightened again, and he said: "Brother King Qin, I think the Pinggu incident will have an absolute blow to the morale of the ghost army. We should also seize this opportunity."
Xiao Yuan nodded: "Sister Wang's analysis is correct. If this is the case, then in my opinion, tonight's harassment tactics should become a real strong attack! Moreover, it must be a surprise!"
"Okay!" The two kings were also determined.
night.
The highest military order of the Allied Forces was issued.
On the Qin army's side, Xu Rong's troops were responsible for the night battle.
In the first two days, he felt quite bored, because he was responsible for weakening the enemy army and had little chance to kill the enemy. While ordering the soldiers to fire two arrows from time to time, he even drank in front of the battle line. As a result, he was recorded a serious demerit and almost became a military judge.
Today, in his opinion, he just fired two arrows casually to harass the enemy, so as soon as he arrived in front of the formation, he lazily said: "Fire the arrows, light the fire, and give the ghost army a few hits from time to time, and don't let them rest." "
"Yes!" The soldiers have become accustomed to it these days, and they immediately execute it after hearing the words.
Not long after, sparse rockets shot towards the city gate, and a jar of kerosene also exploded at the top of the city.
Amidst the rumbling sound, large numbers of ghost troops bent down and ran quickly.
"Quick, quick, come here."
At the greeting of the ghost army, a large group of city defense guards hid in a safe place, watching the oil jars bursting and lighting up the fire at the city gate from time to time.
Someone said: "If this happens every night, the Qin army will not be tired."
Another person said: "They just want to harass us. Don't pay attention. When the arrows are released and the oil jar is thrown away, they will stop. Let's do whatever we should do."
The current situation is that the Qin army casually attacks from a distance, while the ghost army stays far away and does not get close to the defense line. It seems to have become a habit for both sides in the past few days.
Let’s talk about the Qin army. After ordering a long-range strike, Xu Rong couldn’t help but yawned. But at this moment, a messenger hurried over, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said: "General, your Majesty’s military order, order Attack the city immediately!"
"What?" Xu Rong was stunned and didn't respond.
"Your Majesty's military order, Wuxia Pass must be captured tonight!" the ordering soldier repeated.
This time, Xu Rong heard it clearly and immediately became energetic: "Okay! I understand!"
The soldiers were ordered to salute and retreat.
Xu Rong himself was very happy about his success. If he could break through the Wuxia Pass, what a great achievement it would be!
Thinking of this, he was so excited that he was about to give an order, but he rolled his eyes and said immediately: "Keep shooting arrows, keep shooting oil altars!"
"You, lead your troops immediately and set up the ladder quickly!" He pointed out another general.
"Ah?" The general also didn't respond.
"Go quickly! Prepare to attack the city!"
"Yes Yes!"
Under his order, large numbers of Qin soldiers began to carry ladders and quickly ran towards the city gate.
On the top of the city, because the oil altar was still exploding from time to time, the ghost army, due to the reasons of the previous few nights, habitually believed that this was the daily harassment of the Qin army, and no one showed up at all.
Ladders were quickly set up all over the city gate.
The officers and soldiers of the Qin army began to hold swords in their mouths and use their hands and feet.
Xu Rong, who was standing behind, had his eyes wide open, his heart was in his throat, and he looked extremely nervous.
But at this critical moment, the ghost army seemed to sense something abnormal.
"What's going on? Usually the Qin army should stop after a round of harassment. Why did the fight last so long today?"
"Yes, and look at the oil tank exploding, why is it getting denser and denser?"
"Look!"
Someone stood up, looked around, and was shocked: "No! The Qin army is attacking the city!"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack"
"Quickly meet the enemy"
Shouting filled the city gates, and the ghost army panicked all of a sudden. They didn't even bother to dodge. They picked up their spears and quickly ran towards the places they wanted to defend.
But no matter how tall the city gate is, how far can it go? At this moment, the Qin army on several ladders has already appeared and jumped up.
As soon as he hit the ground, a spear was thrust into his belly, but immediately after, the second Qin soldier jumped down, roared, and swung his sword fiercely, splattering blood.
Then came the third, then the fourth.
On the city defense, there was a continuous sound of weapons clashing.
Xu Rong's eyes were still wide and round. Seeing that his side had successfully attacked, he was filled with excitement, and then he raised his sword and shouted:
"Kill! Kill brothers! Wuxia Pass has been breached."
As soon as he finished speaking, he also rushed out with a knife.
"Kill"
Under the city gate, torches gathered together, shouting for killing.
As long as one of the ladders is breached, the Qin army will follow this gap and continue to rush to the top of the city.
Sometimes, habits can be fatal.
