Xirong temporarily retreated, but Baltu still had no intention of giving up Qinggupo.
At the temporary military meeting place, after some inspection, Lieutenant General Xirong gave a detailed report on the post-war losses.
His tone was a little cautious, because the casualties in this battle were not small. Continuous attacks and breakthroughs in various places had greatly reduced the strength of Xirong.
After listening to the deputy general's report, not only Baltu's face was gloomy, but all the generals were silent.
It wasn't until a while later that a general moved his lips and said, "General, Qinggupo has been fighting bloody battles for several days and is about to be captured, but today, this."
He didn't know what to say, but another general took over: "Ning Zhan is not easy to deal with. He is one of the eight brave generals under the command of King Qin. With him personally commanding the battle, the morale of the Qin army was greatly boosted and they resisted to the death. ah."
"Yes, it is not the way to go on like this. The general should find another strategy." Someone else said.
After fighting in Qinggupo for so long, Xirong has certainly grasped some of the Qin army's situation. If they still don't know who the opponent's general is, then Baltu doesn't need to lead the army.
Seeing that everyone was thinking of retreating, he was somewhat angry, "Isn't it just Ning Zhan! What's so scary! Qinggupo must be taken down!"
"This..." The generals looked at each other, and the lieutenant general moved his lips and bravely said: "General, if we continue to fight like this, even if we can break through the northern front, our troops will be severely damaged. It’s damaged.”
"Then there is a better way!" Baltu said: "Now the main force of King Qin is encircling Black Stone, and they will either be trapped to death or break out! We have fought on the northern front for so long. If we retreat and fight now, it will be like wasting all our previous efforts! The warriors who died died in vain!”
When he said this, the generals could not refute it.
Baltu looked around and stopped talking nonsense: "Okay! Let's go down and tidy up and prepare for the night attack. We must capture Qinggu Slope tonight!"
He is the commander-in-chief of the Xirong Army. If he insists on fighting hard, the generals have no choice but to take orders.
At the same time, on the southern line of Blackstone, the Qin army camped.
Based on the strength of military intelligence, Xiao Yuan can grasp the situation of various defense lines at the first time.
At this time, he already knew the battle situation on Ning Zhan's side, and was also discussing the war with the generals.
This is where the highest military orders are issued. The matters discussed are not limited to a small battlefield, but the entire war situation.
Yang Heng was the first to express his opinion, saying: "Baltu has concentrated his strength and has been attacking the northern front. No matter whether General Ning Zhan can hold it or not, the pressure will definitely be great, and this battle is also extremely difficult. I suggest that it is not as good as Send an order to Su Shuai to cooperate."
"You mean, give in to the northern defense line?" Xiao Yuan grasped the key point of the problem, because Su Yi was not in the Blackstone theater.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Yang Heng said, "You can let General Ning Zhan pretend to be invincible and open a gap. Baltu will inevitably escape from the northern front. At that time, Commander Su will be able to ambush him halfway."
"Well..." Xiao Yuan put his hands behind his back and looked at the military map on the wall, thinking about it. After a moment, he shook his head slightly and turned around and said: "Although this strategy can be implemented, there may be accidents. Xirong area is very large. , Baltu is more familiar with this place than we are, and we are unable to determine his specific route after breaking through. Once Su Yi's troops fail to intercept and let him run away, it will be a serious danger."
"Therefore, we still need to encircle and suppress this main force of Xirong in the Black Rock area."
After hearing this, Yang Heng thought for a while, clasped his fists and bent down and said, "Your Majesty is very worried, but I didn't think carefully."
Xiao Yuan raised his hand and looked at Shangguan Wenruo: "What do you think?"
"I believe that to reduce the pressure on General Ning Zhan, attacking Black Rock is the most effective way." The latter said: "Now in Black Rock City, Baltu has troops left behind, which is equivalent to his only foothold. Once he is attacked by our army, If its rear is unstable, the morale of the frontline troops will inevitably be shaken."
"Yes, this strategy is feasible." Xiao Yuan made a quick decision and said immediately: "If you want to fight, then fight. Yang Heng's troops will move north immediately and attack Black Rock City at night!"
"Send an order to Chen Hui and ask him to attack from the west front!"
"No!" All the generals clasped their fists in unison.
The Qin Army's camp on the southern front is not far from Black Rock City. If we set out now, we can launch an attack at night.
Xiao Yuan gave an order, and the Qin army moved up and down. The military order was transmitted to the western defense line through Falcon, and Chen Hui immediately began to take action.
There are two lines in the west and south directions, pointing directly to Black Rock City.
That night.
Blackstone's southern city defense was filled with Western soldiers, and the crowds were crowded. From time to time, someone was shot by random arrows and fell down with a howl, and then someone else immediately stepped forward to take the place.
Arrows with flaming light were fired back and forth in the sky, dotted with stars, and there were shouts of killing everywhere.
Aerial ladders have been set up all over the city wall, and the soldiers of the Qin army are climbing up desperately, regardless of their own safety.
Yang Heng was the first to fight, and he was also on the front line, commanding with a sword.
This is not a feint attack, but a real siege!
There will be two results in attacking Black Rock City. First, if Baltu's main force does not return, there is no doubt that Xiao Yuan will directly attack this place and leave it without a foothold.
Second, Baltu's main force returns to support, which will naturally relieve the pressure on the northern line.
No matter what he chooses, it can be said that he is being led by the Qin army.
On the city defense, the general who was in charge of staying behind was holding a scimitar and shouted sternly: "Hold it! Hold it all to me!"
"Black Rock City cannot be lost no matter what!!"
There are more than 20,000 troops here. Although the Xirong army is not good at city warfare, it cannot be conquered in one day.
But the general is panicking. Once this place is lost, not only will he die, but his main force will also have no place to stay. Moreover, military supplies are hoarded in the city, which is equivalent to a base camp.
While he was running around the city defense and shouting, a Xirong spy ran up in a panic. After approaching, he said in a trembling voice: "It's not good, general! The Xicheng defense has also been attacked by the Qin army!"
oops! Hearing this, the general couldn't help but scream, then grabbed the spies by the collar, and shouted in panic: "Quick! Go and ask for help! Tell General Baltu that the Qin army's offensive is fierce, and the top of Black Rock City is It won’t be long!”
After saying that, he pushed it away.
"Yes, yes..." The spy also looked panicked and quickly took the order and left.
Go down to the city defense, ride a war horse, whip the horse's buttocks hard, and run straight towards the north gate.
The southwestern two fronts attacked, and the battle in Black Rock City began, as did the Qinggu Slope side.
Baltu was about to capture this place, and under his forced order, the Xirong army moved forward one after another. The intensity of the night battle was even worse than that during the day.
