The territory of the Ghost Clan is actually not very large, equivalent to half of the original Huan Kingdom, about four or five counties.
But he has always been ambitious.
The number of invasions of the Central Plains alone was no less than six times.
And most of the time, they obtained rich trophies, massacred countless people, and then escaped unscathed.
This makes the ghost tribe always regard the Central Plains as a flock of sheep that can be plundered.
But the last time he was defeated, he was defeated at the hands of Emperor Qin, and the old ghost king died under Anyang City.
The loss of the 600,000-strong army severely damaged its national strength. Today, although the Ghost Clan has recruited another 400,000 troops, their weapons and equipment are not as good as before, and their war resources are even worse.
Based on this, the Ghost King did not have full confidence, so he was somewhat hesitant.
Seeing this, Laisen said seriously: "Your Majesty the King! This war must be fought with the Qin army! Otherwise, our border will never be peaceful!"
"And we now need to plunder the Central Plains to replenish domestic supplies!"
"General Laisen is right." Someone else said: "Qin dares to invade the country, then we will open up their Northeast Pass! When the time comes, let them take the initiative to sue for peace, and we can demand compensation at will."
"Yes! In addition, after breaking into the Northeast Pass, we can completely capture Anyang, where the late king died. When the time comes, we will capture the women of Anyang as slaves, and then kill all the people of Anyang to bury the late king with him!"
Speaking of this, Laisen seized the opportunity and said: "Your Majesty the King! The revenge of the late king must be avenged! Only by killing everyone in Anyang City can the late king rest in peace."
"Your Majesty the King please order——"
More than half of the people in the Congress began to plead. When it comes to invading the Central Plains, the ghost tribe will get excited for no reason.
Seeing this, the Ghost King pondered for a moment and finally made a decision: "Okay! Then we will mobilize 200,000 troops, led by General Laisen, to lead our warriors to attack the Central Plains!"
"Take the order!" Laisen beamed with joy, put his hand on his chest, and instantly bent down.
The ghost tribe sent troops here, but this was what Qin had expected.
After Laisen got the command, he was very excited. In his opinion, invading the Central Plains was the happiest thing. Not to mention collecting gold and silver treasures, those beautiful Central Plains girls made him rub his hands just thinking about it.
After leaving the Congress, a ghost official followed him and said with a smile: "General Laisen, when you enter the Central Plains this time, can you help me bring back some trophies, the best kind?"
Like Laisen, from the Gui clan official's point of view, it seemed that the invasion of the Central Plains by an army of 200,000 was a certainty.
"Trophy?"
"Of course, the return gift prepared here by the lower official will definitely satisfy the general." The official said quickly.
The spoils of war they talk about are girls from the Central Plains. The so-called best ones are those who have just grown up and have not yet left the court.
Laisen glanced at him with a smile, patted his shoulder and said: "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on it for you."
When the official heard this, he beamed with joy and said, "Thank you, General Laisen."
At the same time, Seth City was on the border of the ghost clan.
Today, the Qin army invaded again.
However, it was different from the previous cavalry harassment, but a large-scale march. Not only did they remove some of the strongholds that the ghost tribe had just laid out in the surrounding area, but they also had the intention of storming Seth City.
Yurilo had no choice but to abandon the village front and retreat to the city.
There is no way, there is no way to win a field battle, and some small groups of troops will be annihilated if they retreat just a little slower.
After the Qin army finished attacking the outside, they did not attack the city by force. Instead, they blocked the surrounding traffic and coordinated the 500 cavalry who actually took action.
In Seth City, Yurilo felt a sense of unknown anger.
Just after the military intelligence came in, the Qin cavalry attacked farther away, burning and killing as usual.
But he couldn't attack at all, because there were 20,000 Qin troops watching him outside the city, and they also blocked the route of the ghost army.
The opponent's intention was obvious. They used a large army to drive nails in and used cavalry to sweep away those settlements without garrison.
The border defenses of the Ghost Army were already riddled with holes, and during this period of time, the number of losses in the continuous battles, large and small, increased from the initial 30,000 to the current 25,000.
After listening to the sentry report, Yuriluo slapped his hand on the table and said angrily: "What does Iles do for food? Isn't he negotiating with Qin! Why is the Qin army still attacking!"
Seeing this, a civil servant said cautiously: "I heard that Lord Yiles has not reached an agreement with the Qin State."
Yuriluo sneered, with a very dissatisfied tone: "I have long said that the Qin army this time is different from the previous Central Plains armies. They just want to start a war! Iles didn't believe it and insisted on talking. Let's see Well, what’s the use?”
"This" the civil servant said tentatively: "Then what should we do now."
"Report the situation to His Majesty the King and request to mobilize the army. These Qin troops must be destroyed!"
Yurilo still doesn't know that Congress has mobilized troops.
There were no surprises in the Qin army's attack this time.
After returning, each department reported the situation.
Zhao Chen said: "Our army adopted multi-line tactics this time and destroyed many of Yuriluo's strongholds outside, beheading about 600 ghost troops."
"Good fight." Wei Qing said: "Urilo's hasty arrangement was vulnerable to a single blow. This time, he had to spend a lot of time studying."
"That's what the general said." Zhao Chen said: "After these days of fighting, the general discovered that the ghost army is actually not good at defensive battles in small positions, and it is easy to be bypassed."
"It's very good that you can discover this." Wei Qing said sternly: "I hope the ghost army hasn't realized this little shortcoming of theirs."
Then he looked at General Li again: "How's it going with General Li? How's the terrain survey going?"
"General." The general said: "Under the cover of the main force, our cavalry attacked several ghost settlements and killed many ghost people. At the same time, Zhang Wenshu has roughly drawn up the map survey."
Wei Qing nodded: "Well, next time I'll bring a piece of paper to improve it. There shouldn't be any mistakes in the military map."
"Yes!" Xiangjiang clasped his fists.
Just as he said this, a member of the military aircraft camp hurried in: "Report~~~"
"General, a letter from General Nie Xing."
"Oh?" Wei Qing took it, opened it and looked at it carefully.
After he finished reading, he immediately said: "Drive away the ghost messenger tomorrow."
Qin's military mobilization is coming, and this military information cannot be discovered by the ghost tribe.
Iles was placed within the stopping range and did not know all the situations outside.
The next day, a Qin general came forward and told Iles that since the ghost tribe did not admit their previous evil deeds, there was no need to talk anymore and asked him to leave.
Under the eviction order, Iles had no choice but to walk away.
At the same time, I am still thinking in my heart, when our army arrives, you will beg me to talk.
