Huang Zu was trying his best to defend the city, but after all, the old commander was late and old. Although this arrow could not kill him immediately, it was not something he could hold on to.
Not long after, he groaned again, blood gushed out from the corner of his mouth, and he staggered. If the guard hadn't helped him in time, he would have fallen to the ground.
"Huang Shuai..." The worry on the guard's face deepened, and he said tremblingly: "You can't be like this..."
At this time, Wei Guang also heard the news and rushed over. Seeing this situation, he immediately said: "This arrow is very poisonous. If it is not treated, it will be difficult for the gods to save it. Help the old general down quickly!"
"No!" The guard general had wanted to do this for a long time and immediately acted upon hearing the words.
At this moment, Huang Zu could no longer hold on, his face was pale and he was sweating profusely, but he still grabbed the corner of Wei Guang's clothes and said with force: "I am not afraid of death, but it is useless to be afraid of death. In Ruizhou today, no matter whether it is the country The gateway, or His Majesty’s intention to withdraw eastward, are the key to the strategy, and there is no room for failure..."
Wei Guang didn't understand this truth, but the current situation could not be solved with one word. He could only reply: "The old general is seriously injured. Don't get angry. It's better to go down for treatment quickly. I will stick to it until the end."
As he spoke, he waved his hand towards the guard: "Hurry!"
"Yes!" The guard general responded, no longer hesitating, and called a soldier. The two of them supported Huang Zu and left.
When the latter was helped down, he was still saying sadly: "We must keep Ruizhou, we must keep Ruizhou..."
With the desolate voice in his ears, Wei Guang closed his eyes deeply. He knew in his heart that he said so, but how could he hold on to it.
Sure enough, as Huang Zu was seriously injured and left the front line, the already demoralized Ling Army soldiers became panicked again, and many of them began to look around in fear.
And the Qin army's offensive became more and more fierce.
From the commander's position, Su Yi had been keeping a close eye on the battle situation and made a decisive decision: "Launch a general attack."
"No!" the flag bearer responded immediately and began to wave the flag.
Then, the high-pitched and exciting horn sounded, resounding throughout the plain.
The war drum beat like exploding beans.
"Kill--"
Dust flew into the air amid the shouts of killing.
This time, it's not Wei Qing's army, but the entire plain outside the pass, in all directions.
If you look down from a high altitude, you can see the end of the general attack. The entire land is filled with black armor, which is shocking.
On the first line of the siege, countless Qin soldiers rushed to the ladder, seemingly scrambling to be the first.
At the city gate, more and more people are gathering. Some are shooting back arrows, some are waving swords to block random arrows, and there are even a large number of soldiers holding thick wooden stakes, hitting the city gate with all their strength. Every time, there will be Cause violent shaking.
The sudden intensification of the offensive made the Ling Army unable to withstand it any longer. Finally, the Qin Army was the first to jump up the ladder.
After coming up, he yelled and slashed with his knife.
With the first person, the gap opens, followed by the second, third...
The first Qin army to attack the city defense was Li Erzhu. After cutting down several people, he was already covered in blood. He took advantage of the situation and cut off a nearby Spirit Army war flag. He thrust the black Qin flag up and raised his knife. Yelling: "Ruizhou has been broken! Ruizhou has been broken -"
The battle flag of the Qin army suddenly appeared on the city defense. There is no need to say what this represents.
When the soldiers of the Qin army who were still below saw this, they felt as if they had been given blood.
"Kill--"
The thunderous shouts of killing rang out again, and their morale was greatly boosted. Everyone in the Qin army seemed to be crazy, and they charged even more fiercely.
On the other hand, the Spirit Army began to suffer a clear defeat. Looking around nervously, some people held long halberds and began to retreat involuntarily. Some people's defensive positions were breached, and they even threw away their weapons and turned around and ran away.
The situation suddenly changed, and the ladders began to fall one after another.
Su Yi looked at the overall situation and couldn't help but point to Li Erzhu's position: "This soldier was the first to get there, and he has the ability to seize the situation. We must check it out and record it."
"Yes." The civil servant beside him responded quickly.
On the battlefield, the defeat of the Ling Army became more and more serious. Every defense line was fighting and retreating, and many people were killed by the Qin army who jumped up from the ladder.
At this time, Wei Qing had already reached the top of the city. His sword was dripping with blood as he glared and shouted: "Ruizhou has been broken! Brothers, charge! Kill all the spirit thieves!"
In the middle of the city, a general covered in blood walked quickly to Wei Guang and said urgently: "General, our defense line has fallen in many places, and more and more Qin troops are attacking."
Under this situation, there was no way to save the situation. The Ling army became more and more chaotic and panicked as they fought. Wei Guang did not hesitate and made a decisive decision: "Retreat first! Send an order to all the troops to withdraw to Mingshan."
Mingshan County is just behind Ruizhou.
But when the general heard this, he said in a trembling voice: "Ruizhou is the throat. If our army withdraws, there will be no place to hold on."
"Then what do you think we should do!" Wei Guang stared and said, "With the current situation, can you turn the tide of the war? If we continue to fight, not only will the city of Ruizhou be destroyed, but everyone will also die here!"
This is a truth and an irrefutable question.
General Pian took a deep breath and could only clasp his fists and say: "Yes, I will go and deliver the order right away."
When he left, Wei Guang also waved his hand directly: "Let's go!"
Following his order, the surrounding heavy shielders began to surround him and protect him as he retreated to the city.
Not long after, loud shouts from the spirit generals were heard from all over the city defense:
"Get out! Get out!"
"Evacuate the city defense quickly!"
After receiving this order, the soldiers of Ling Army, who were already defeated one after another, fled in a swarm. They had no intention of fighting again. They rushed to grab the road for fear of falling behind, which also caused widespread chaos. They were pushed down and trampled to death. People don’t know how many there are.
Under such circumstances, in just a moment, the entire city defense was filled with no resistance from the spiritual army from left to right, and the weapons and flags were thrown all over the ground.
The city defense fell, and large numbers of remaining soldiers fled and evacuated. Upon seeing this, the defenders inside the city gate gave up their resistance and ran with them. Without the support of all the people, the tall and heavy city gate was knocked open after trembling for more than ten times.
"Kill--"
After the city gate was opened, the morale of the Qin army was once again improved. Countless soldiers raised their swords high and poured into Ruizhou like a tide.
From the commander's position, seeing the city gate breached, the civilian officials of the Qin army couldn't help shouting excitedly: "Commander Su, Ruizhou has been completely conquered by our army!"
"Yes." Su Yi's expression was calm and his voice was gentle: "In Ruizhou today, the spirit army has no morale and is nothing more than scattered sand. If it can't be broken, Wei Qing is incompetent!"
After saying that, he raised his voice and shouted: "The messenger!"
"Here!" The latter immediately clasped his fists.
"Pass this commander's military order and tell the generals commanding the operations to pursue the enemy as far as Mingshan!"
"promise!"
