Pinggu County, Nanchengmen.
On top of the city, torches were brightly lit, and a row of Central Plains people in coarse clothes and linen stood.
Some people were holding captured scimitars, some were holding spears, and some were holding hoes and other farm tools, as if they were defending the city.
Outside the city, the ghost army came to the city, also with torches.
The number of troops mobilized by Urcha was approximately 10,000.
At this time, a ghost official in charge of translation was shouting:
"You people, don't seek death!"
"Now in Kaicheng, there is still a chance of survival!"
"We will never treat you like slaves again! We will live in peace with you!"
His tone, although stiff, was able to be understood by everyone.
Some of the people on the city were silent, some were frightened when they saw the real army, and some said loudly:
"Don't listen to the ghost army! These people are all heartless! They are all demons! If we let them enter the city, we will be like before!"
"Have everyone forgotten how their parents, wives and children died tragically?"
Hearing this, people's anger outweighed their fear. Under the influence, everyone began to raise their arms and shout: "Hold Pinggu to the death!"
"We must not let the ghost army come in——"
When the ghost translator saw this, his face darkened, he turned his horse's head again, returned to the main formation, and reported to the general at his headquarters: "General, they refuse to open the city."
"Hmph!" The ghost general sneered, stopped talking nonsense, drew his scimitar directly, pointed forward: "Attack! (Ghost language)"
Following his order, the 10,000 ghost troops all screamed strangely and rushed toward the city gate crazily.
While running, a large number of ghost troops began to throw spears.
There were also crossbowmen who bent their bows and set arrows, and fired randomly at the top.
One after another, the spears were hung by the strong wind, and they were shot at various parts of the city one after another.
The screams suddenly sounded, and before many people could react, they were instantly penetrated through the stomach.
Plop, plop!
Arrows rained like rain, and there were screams one after another.
The common people have never experienced a real war. When there is no fighting, they can still be brave. But when it comes to attacking the city, people around them are shot and killed from time to time, and blood flows everywhere. The scene makes many people scream in fear. , where do you know how to defend the city?
This is normal and nothing surprising.
Under such an attack, the top of the city immediately became a mess. In the crowd, many people threw away their weapons and fled down the top of the city in a swarm.
Their number is actually very large. If they were regular troops, it would be difficult for the ghost army to quickly attack this place. However, civilians, just ordinary farmers, cannot compare with the army on the real battlefield.
This is also the reason why hundreds of thousands of troops can often occupy a city.
It didn't take long at all for the ghost army to jump up the city along the ladder.
The scimitar was stained with blood and screamed strangely. In the eyes of the people, it looked like an evil ghost, and people ran faster.
Under the city, seeing this situation, the ghost general sneered again: "Huh! A bunch of slaves, give them a chance, they don't know how to cherish it, after entering the city, kill them all!"
"yes!"
Ten thousand ghost troops quickly conquered Pinggu County, and the city was already in chaos.
"Run! The ghost army is entering the city——"
There were shouts and people running away in panic everywhere.
Half an hour later.
A low-level general quickly walked up to the ghost general, saluted and said, "General, those slaves have all escaped from the north gate."
"Forget it, don't chase." The ghost general raised his hand and said: "First set up defenses in Pinggu, then see what supplies are left in the city, and at the same time send a message to General Urcha to inform our department of the situation."
"yes!"
Although the ghost army was as ferocious as demons when they slaughtered the people, when they faced the Qin army's infantry, they were just as frightened as they were beaten.
This is a typical example of bullying and fearing the strong.
On the other side, Wuxia Pass, the original ghost army camp.
At this time, Urcha had already withdrawn, leaving behind a lot of baggage. He could not take these things away, otherwise, the troops would move slowly and be easily overtaken.
On the Allied side, after breaking through the Wuxia Pass, they pursued and killed the remaining enemy soldiers, killing many along the way and capturing a large number of horses and weapons.
By early morning, the night's chaos finally subsided.
The generals of each department began to report the results one by one.
"Your Majesty, our troops intercepted and killed three thousand enemy troops and captured sixty war horses..."
"My troops chased to the Poisonous Snake Valley and annihilated more than 4,000 ghost troops..."
"Our troops encountered the enemy's remnants and beheaded 2,300 enemy soldiers..."
"Well, good!" The monarchs of the three kingdoms nodded from time to time.
At this moment, Ye Gui also walked in quickly.
He was the general of the Ling Kingdom. After he came in, he naturally clasped his fists and saluted directly to the Ling King: "Your Majesty, the last general is incompetent and allowed Urcha to escape. However, General Huang Zu and General Su Yi have each led their own troops to intercept them. The ghost army has retreated."
His face looked very ugly.
Before King Ling could say anything, Yan Qi curled his lips and said insinuatingly: "General Ye, how many times have you allowed the enemy general to escape? If I hadn't respected you as a man, I really doubt whether you were following Did Urcha have any private connections and did he let him go on purpose?"
"You!" Ye Gui was furious when he heard this, and his face turned red at the same time.
Xie Hongling couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.
"Hongling." King Xuan scolded, looking at her with a slightly unhappy look on his face.
"Oh..." Xie Hongling pursed her red lips.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on Ye Gui. After all, Wuercha was the commander of an army, with many guards around him, a BMW, and someone behind him. How could he be easily caught up with him?
But Ye Gui, such a brave general, could not bear such ridicule. His face turned red, and just when he was about to confront Yan Qi, Xiao Yuan raised his hand: "Okay!"
After all, he was the king of a country and the leader of the alliance. Ye Gui had no choice but to temporarily suppress his anger and glare at Yan Qi.
The Spirit King also pointed at him with his displeased eyes.
Then, Xiao Yuan said: "Now that the Wuxia Pass has been broken, the Allied forces have successfully entered Huandi, and Wuercha and his remaining troops are shrinking towards Pinggu. In this case, in my opinion, we will trap Pinggu first. Then we regained Lianzhou and forced the main force of the Ghost King through many important roads."
As he spoke, he also glanced at the second king.
The two of them naturally had no objections to this and both nodded.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan immediately said: "Well, immediately send orders to Huang Zu and Su Yi to surround Pinggu with a large army to prevent Urcha from breaking out. The main force of the allied forces will arrive soon."
Now the war situation is clear. After the Allied forces broke through Wuxia Pass, the remnants of Wuercha fled to Pinggu County. Huang Zu and Su Yi, who were being chased, were surrounded by double-teams and had no wings to fly.
All they can do is to hold on to Pinggu City.
But the people in the city, after resistance and a series of incidents, have already fled. It is an empty city there, with a lack of supplies, and it is only a matter of time before food and grass are cut off.
Xiao Yuan had no need to carry out a forceful attack, because after Wuxia Pass, the field of vision had already been broadened and there were many roads. It didn't matter whether he walked through Pinggu or not, but annihilating the Wuercha Division in a corner was definitely what he had to do.
