All over the city wall, the ropes were cut off one after another.
The soldiers hanging on it screamed and fell.
Arrows rained down like rain, rocks and trees fell continuously.
In the current state of the ghost army, let alone one hundred thousand, even two hundred thousand or three hundred thousand, it is impossible to capture a strong city.
If the fight continues like this, without a ladder and unable to climb even half a step, the number of casualties will rise sharply.
The deputy general observed the entire battlefield and couldn't bear it anymore. He said sadly: "Your Majesty, I beg you, please don't let the warriors make these unnecessary sacrifices..."
Listening to his screams, the Ghost King closed his eyes deeply, "Withdraw, withdraw..."
"Yes!" the deputy general responded hurriedly.
Immediately afterwards, the unique horn sound of the ghost tribe's retreat sounded. The ghost soldiers who were attacking the city left corpses on the ground and receded like a tide.
Under the city, random arrows were pierced, corpses were lying on the ground, blood was flowing everywhere, stones were scattered everywhere, some were still pressing on the corpses, and there were all traces of tragedy as far as the eye could see.
For the ghost army, this was a battle to the death. After returning, all the soldiers breathed their last sigh of relief. Many of them couldn't bear it any longer, so they lay sprawled on the ground and gulped. Panting, the weapon fell aside, and he had no strength to pick it up.
They ran for almost two days and two nights, during which they also experienced an ambush. They were already too tired and sleepy!
In this regard, the Ghost King did not stop him, but ordered to the deputy general: "Immediately cut down the wood to make the ladder, rest for a day, take out all the food you can eat, and let the warriors replenish their strength for the final attack!"
"Yes!" Of course, the deputy general agreed with this decision.
The entire formation of the current ghost army looked in shambles. Most of them were lying on the ground. Even those who could stand were struggling to hold on and looked pale.
If it were Su Yi who was the guard in the city, he would undoubtedly seize the opportunity, order the switch, and take the opportunity to hit him back!
But Zhou Ce was just an ordinary Anjun general.
Next, the ghost army began to evacuate from the outside of the city, not far away, to rest temporarily. At the same time, a large number of soldiers were dispatched into the woods to cut trees and build ladders.
Nothing to say all night, the next morning.
The ghost army gathered outside the city again.
This time, after a night's rest and a full meal, the soldiers and soldiers were obviously in much better spirits.
After setting up a siege posture, the Ghost King immediately asked: "How many ladders have we made?"
"Because there are not many long trees, there are only five or six." The deputy general returned.
Of course, there is no problem in making a simple ladder in one night with the help of ghost soldiers. After hearing this, the ghost king immediately said: "That's enough! These are enough to attack the city!"
"Today, even if we fight until dusk! We will fight until dawn! We must not withdraw our troops! We need to work hard!"
After saying this, the Ghost King was about to give an order, but at this moment, a messenger hurried over.
"Report~~~~~"
"Something bad has happened! Your Majesty the King! Qin...Qin Army and Xuan Army are here!"
"What!?" Upon hearing this, the Ghost King's eyes widened immediately. Why was he so anxious to attack yesterday? This was what he was afraid of!
A flash of despair flashed in his eyes, and the deputy general panicked: "Now Anyang can't enter, and the enemy coalition forces have arrived again. This, this, what should we do, Your Majesty the King..."
He was panicking, and the Ghost King was actually panicking too, but he just didn't show it.
Now, he needs to make a decision whether to continue the siege.
But if he attacks again, he will be attacked by Qin Xuan behind him and will be trapped under the city.
Unless he could attack the city before the Allied forces wiped him out, it was obviously unrealistic to capture the fortified city garrisoned by 100,000 troops in one or two hours.
But after thinking about it, the Ghost King decided to make this last ditch effort!
"Attack the city!" he shouted with a glare.
"Ah!?" The deputy general didn't react.
"This is the only chance!"
As he spoke, he also drew out his scimitar, sat on his horse, and pointed forward.
"The whole army attacks the city——"
He gave the order, and the ghost army that had been prepared immediately launched a charge. Countless soldiers roared and swarmed towards the city gate.
Amidst the chaos of arrows, five or six ladders were quickly set up across the city wall.
On the top of the city, Zhou Ce said seriously: "We have already defended the city gate. They don't have large siege equipment, so it is impossible to break it open. They only built six ladders. These six places, Deploy heavy troops! Go and take command yourself!"
"No!" The general took the order and left.
For the ghost army, although this siege was much better than yesterday, it was still very difficult due to the lack of equipment.
At the same time, the Qin and Xuan armies also arrived on the battlefield.
From Xiao Yuan's current position, one can even see the tail of the ghost army's formation.
Without any nonsense, he immediately ordered to flank him on three sides from the left and right wings and from behind the ghost army.
No matter whether Anyang is impregnable or not, Xiao Yuan definitely doesn't dare to delay. If the ghost army breaks through the city and flees in panic, it will be too late!
Therefore, after the encirclement, military orders were issued directly.
At this time, the ghost army was still attacking the city one after another in the front. Directly behind, under the order of the Ghost King, it had turned around and faced the Qin army.
Looking at the overwhelming black armor and red tassels opposite, many ghost soldiers subconsciously tightened their spears, their Adam's apples slid, and their feet rubbed involuntarily.
They were not afraid of the Huan Army. Facing the Huan Army, they even laughed at and slaughtered them. However, facing the Qin Army, they were more or less frightened, let alone under such circumstances.
Just when they were panicking, changes had already taken place on the side of the Qin army.
"Arrow array preparation——"
Wow! Wow!
There was a uniform sound of armor clashing, and the soldiers in the first few rows loaded their bows with arrows, drew them to full length, and pointed diagonally upward.
"Fire the arrow——"
Buzz! Black clouds passed by, and dense arrows gathered in the sky, covering the sky and the earth, and swept down!
Plop, plop!
In such an open place, the Qin army's arrow array was used to its extreme. In just a moment, miserable howls were heard.
The sound of arrows piercing flesh came and went.
How many people were knocked to the ground in an instant!
The ghost army that had been lined up just now had a large area cleared under the raging arrow array, and dead bodies fell on the ground!
Those who survived began to look left and right, panicking.
There was also a ghost army general who shouted sternly: "Warriors! Charge -"
Under his leadership, the ghost army gritted its teeth and had no choice but to hold up its scimitar and charge towards the Qin army's formation with a strange roar.
On the Qin army's side, after the arrow formation passed, the crossbowmen immediately retracted their bows, and the infantry staggered forward.
Xiao Yuan looked at the charging ghost army coldly, and the Qin King's sword was unsheathed.
"Array-"
boom! Boom boom!
They reloaded their vertical shields and smashed them on the ground together, with their halberds behind them.
"Infantry presses forward!"
After giving the order, the infantry of the Qin army began to form a horizontal and vertical line with heavy shields in front, facing the ghost army and approaching step by step!
