"receive--"
Loud shouting came again, and the flag was pointed at an angle.
The soldiers of the Qin army were well-trained, and they all hit the ground with their halberds and heavy shields. The continuous arrow array finally stopped.
The great plain outside the city gate instantly regained its tranquility. Black armor filled the sky and flags fluttered.
In the handsome position, Su Yi coughed again out of habit, and then said: "Bring the horse."
"yes!"
The soldiers quickly took the order, and when the horses were brought in, Su Yi also got off the chariot, climbed up, and prepared to go to the city.
Xu Rong, who was beside him, saw this and quickly flattered him: "Commander Su, please allow me to escort you."
"That's fine." Su Yi responded casually, because he himself had no physical strength.
At this time, due to the stop of the arrow formation, some of the spirit army had quietly exposed their heads, observing the situation outside.
Su Yi rode his war horse and came to the city in a leisurely manner. He shouted straight to the point: "Where is General Huang?"
At this time, Huang Zu was directing the logistics to lift off the wounded. Hearing Su Yi's voice, he quickly adjusted his skewed helmet, then came to the center of the city, leaned forward and said, "I am here, I don't know what General Su Yi is doing." Advice.”
"Old General Huang." Su Yi's words were clear and concise: "Today's Ruizhou, I will destroy it! I give you one last piece of advice, lead your troops to surrender immediately, open the city gates, and welcome our Qin army in! If you dare to resist again, you will die. One piece!"
"Hahahaha!" Upon hearing this, Huang Zu raised his head and laughed. After the laughter, he said sharply: "Su Yi! You are defying heaven and attacking the spirit, invading my land and violating our borders! My great spirit soldiers are responsible for protecting our country! Kuang Ruizhou is impregnable. , how could it be stolen by a little thief! I still advise you to go back where you came from, so as not to be defeated in the battlefield and suffer from hatred!"
"My commander, following the king's order, raises troops to defeat thieves and eliminate evil and violence. How can I defy heaven?" Su Yi said: "This man is extremely arrogant. Don't you think that a mantis' arm is used as a chariot? It is really self-destruction!"
At this point, Su Yi's voice became cold: "Huang Zu! This is my last warning! If you persist in your persistence, you will drag the entire army and the entire city with you!"
"If you don't surrender, after the city is broken, Ruizhou will be slaughtered!"
"This is all I have said!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yi pulled the reins and rode away from here.
Huang Zu's expression changed again and again.
The same is true for all the spirits around him. Many of them have worries on their faces, their hearts are agitated, and some people's Adam's apples are slipping.
The Qin Army's arrow array not only had a large-scale killing effect, but also acted as a great deterrent to the Ling Army, both generals and soldiers.
The current spirit army is frightened and has absolute fear.
One of the generals couldn't help but swallowed, and said with a trembling voice: "Qin Wang Xiao Yuan wiped out all the countries. Half of the battles were fought by Su Yi. Millions of troops from all countries were beheaded by him for an unknown number of times. This man He is actually a butcher. He said today that he would slaughter all of Ruizhou. I’m afraid he was not lying..."
"What are you afraid of!?" General Yin Dian was furious and yelled: "Ruizhou is heavily guarded by our army. He can kill him if he wants!"
"This, this." The general swallowed again and did not dare to reply, but his expression showed his inner panic.
This is true for all generals, let alone the soldiers below. When Su Yi said that he wanted to massacre Ruizhou, he said it directly and harshly, without any delay. All the soldiers on the city defense knew this news, and they couldn't hide it even if they wanted to. .
Talking about massacre of a city can sometimes arouse the whole city to resist, but sometimes it can be an absolute deterrent.
There is no problem in using it in Ruizhou at this time.
Because the Spirit Army is at the end of its rope, its morale is in chaos, and there is no room for maneuver.
The generals on both sides fell silent, their faces ugly, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
Huang Zuze said: "Okay, let's carry down all the dead soldiers and wounded first. I still say the same thing, Ruizhou is too important to be lost. No matter what kind of offensive the Qin army takes, we must fight to the death." ."
All the spirit generals looked at each other, and then they could only clasp their fists together: "I obey."
outside the city.
Su Yi has already left here on horseback.
As the Qin general shouted loudly, the clattering of armor suddenly rose, and the Qin army officers all turned around, formed an orderly formation, and began to retreat unhurriedly.
Peace quickly returned to the outside world, leaving only the dust and smoke that had not dissipated.
The surviving soldiers of the Ling Army on the city defense were all relieved and let out a sigh of relief. Their hands holding the halberds were almost covered with sweat.
This kind of psychological pressure is almost unbearable.
After Su Yi's arrow array covered the attack, he temporarily withdrew his troops and was not in a hurry. It was planned and deployed. After deterrence, demoralizing and then attacking again was the best strategy, because the spiritual army would still be in chaos next.
After this absolute blow, sure enough, it didn't take long at all. The news that Su Yi was going to massacre Ruizhou had spread like wildfire. Not only the soldiers were frightened, but the people in the city were even more so.
The terror of the Qin army's arrow array was shocking. Suspicions of war were shrouded and panic spread. Many people began to pack up their belongings, drag their families with them, and flee to the rear. Rumors spread among the army, causing unrest.
In addition to arranging defense arrangements, the generals of the Spirit Army could only try their best to calm down the morale of the army, which made them exhausted. But the current situation cannot be stabilized by them with just a few words. Moreover, many generals themselves are beating drums in their hearts and full of worries. , and how to improve the morale of his department.
Under such circumstances, that night, some Ling soldiers secretly discussed forming a group, ran out of the military camp, and mingled with the fleeing people.
And there was a group of people like this, followed by a second group, and a third group. Deserters soon became a plague, spreading among the army.
Of course, Huang Zu had already issued an order to kill him immediately if discovered. However, there were so many people who fled that day that there was a big trend in Ruizhou. The deserters secretly took off their armor and took advantage of the chaos to sneak in and they could not be found at all. arrive.
Thousands of the 120,000 spirit troops were killed under the Qin army's arrow formation. Tens of thousands were lost overnight. When the troops were called up the next day, there were only a hundred thousand soldiers left.
This is not just a matter of reduced troop strength.
What's more important is that more than 10,000 people have already fled, which can be imagined for the remaining spirit army.
No need to ask, there will be more people running today, and only more than last night.
After ordering the troops, the deputy general of the Ling Army immediately found Huang Zu and said with worry: "Commander Huang, the morale of the army has been hard to control. After the bamboo slips incident, the morale of our army has been greatly affected. In addition, the Qin Army's arrow array , Su Yi threatened to massacre the city, and the people revolted, which made people panic. Last night, there were desertions from various ministries. In total, more than 12,000 soldiers fled."
"How unreasonable!" Huang Zu said angrily: "How are the generals doing things!"
"This, Marshal Huang, is not something that all the generals can do, but they are more than willing but not powerful..."
