This situation made Laisen look surprised, as if he had received a shot of stimulant: "Okay! Our warriors have begun to attack the city! The Qin army must not be able to stop it!"
He was very excited. Subconsciously, the Central Plains army was weak and incompetent. Even if it was well defended, so what? How could they fight such a tough battle with us?
However, the ghost generals around him always felt that something was wrong.
In order to rush to the city, too many people died.
He remembered what Yuriluo said: The Qin army was very fierce, incomparable to the previous armies of the Central Plains.
But he moved the corner of his mouth, but in the end he still didn't dare to touch this bad luck and stopped talking.
On the battlefield.
The Qin army's shield formation had already retreated and was replaced by the halberd infantry.
One after another, ladders were erected all over the city wall.
There were crowds of people around, and the ghost army started to climb up quickly with scimitars in hand.
The sharp arrows shoot fiercely and never stop.
Someone was shot by random arrows before they even got close to the ladder. Someone just climbed up the ladder and was hit by a rock in front of him. He was hit on the head and died violently, killing several people at the same time.
The long-range strike instantly transforms into a city wall attack and defense battle.
The level of bloodshed also began to rise linearly.
On the city wall, the Qin army's crossbowmen kept leaning forward, and those who were good at archery would always bend their bows and hit someone, then quickly dodge, wander away and draw their bows again.
A soldier held up a large stone and smashed it down hard on the climbing ghost army. At the same time, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll smash you beasts to death!"
Some people shouted with enthusiasm: "You know, Dayong! Now I can't wait to jump down and fight these ghost armies! Kill one and you'll be enough! Kill two and make a lot of money!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Guard the city wall!"
"Even if I die, I can't even think of taking a step forward!"
This is the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the Qin Army when facing the ghost tribe. It is no exaggeration to say that it is in a state of infinite soaring!
Not to mention this kind of offensive battle, even a head-on confrontation on flat ground, with the courage of the Qin army, it will definitely be crushed all the way.
The ghost army wants to use this to break through the Northeast Pass?
Idiots’ dreams are all exaggerations!
This battle will definitely knock Laisen awake.
The fierce battle continued. On the seven or eight aerial ladders of the ghost army, although people were climbing up one after another, no progress was made at all.
Above, the Qin army poured down a large pot of boiling oil, triggering a series of miserable howls.
Some unlucky ghost soldiers were directly poured over their skins, dying in a horrific manner. Others were splashed with boiling oil, their hands were shaking, their faces were covered in red spots, and they were screaming in agony.
Immediately afterwards, the rocket fired, and the flames spread quickly along the oil stains, forming a fire in an instant, directly swallowing the ghost army in this area, as well as the entire ladder.
Dozens of burning people were running around wildly, screaming pitifully, causing chaos.
When a wooden frame with thick spikes comes down, it often does not hit one person, but knocks down a bunch of people with its weight. The spikes under the wooden frame are ferocious and penetrate the body, leaving corpses lying horizontally and blood flowing.
The ghost army had already suffered heavy casualties from previous long-range attacks, and here, even more people were killed.
After a long time, finally, the ghost army climbed to the top of the ladder.
But what greeted him was the thrusting halberd.
In fact, at this time, experienced generals can immediately see that Northeast Pass is impossible to break.
You must know that the Qin army not only has sufficient equipment to defend the city, but the defensive troops above have not yet exerted their strength.
We haven't even passed this first level yet. Even if we can climb to the top of the ladder, we still have to face the more ferocious Qin Bujun.
After an hour of fighting, the ghost generals around Laisen couldn't stand it anymore.
Because the death toll of the ghost army has been rising in a straight line, but there is no hope of attacking the city. If you dare to continue fighting like this, it will be strange if the entire army is not wiped out!
He looked at Laisen's face, hesitated again and again, and then plucked up the courage to say: "General, my subordinates believe that the current Northeast Pass is really strong. We might as well reformulate some tactics and attack again later. "
Laisen's face was indeed ugly. The Central Plains city gate that he thought was so easy to break turned out to be like this when he took command, which made him feel nameless anger and deep unwillingness.
But the situation on the battlefield is clear. Is it really necessary to fight all the 50,000 soldiers?
"Are we going to retreat now?" He asked in a low voice.
"If the fight continues..." At this point, the ghost general did not dare to continue, but changed the subject and said: "General, we can be more prepared next time, so that the chance of victory will be greater."
"The Qin Army is so hateful!" Even though he didn't want to admit it, Laisen knew that what the ghost general said was right. After a long silence with a gloomy face, he waved his hand unwillingly: "Withdraw!"
With that said, he also pulled the reins and the war horse turned around.
The military order was issued, and not long after, the ghost army's horn sounded again.
The previous time, it was the excitement of an attack, but this time, it was the low tone of retreat.
When the ghost troops on the front line saw this, they immediately felt like they had been granted amnesty.
Because at this time, they had been beaten to a bloody head, and they had already begun to think about retreating. If the fighting continued, some of them might start to escape.
Fortunately, the retreat order was sent in time. Countless ghost troops were like ebbing tide, pulling away from the city gate. Some of the ghost troops who were still climbing the ladder hurriedly jumped down, turned around and ran away, but they were caught before they could take more than two steps. The arrow was shot over.
On the top of the city, seeing this scene, General Qin immediately said: "General, the ghost army has retreated!"
Its collapse is a matter of time.
Wei Qing expected this and immediately said coldly: "Kaicheng!"
"No!" General Qin was shocked, and his blood surged instantly.
"Switch to meet the enemy! Switch to meet the enemy!!!"
Military orders came.
The Northeast Gate is so tall and heavy that it requires the combined efforts of many people to open it.
After the squeaking of teeth, there was the rumble of horse hooves, and large numbers of Qin cavalry rushed out of the Northeast Pass.
"Kill the ghost army! Kill the ghost army——"
The soldiers' morale was like a rainbow and their fighting spirit was overwhelming.
Outside the city gate, the snow has long been dyed red, corpses are scattered everywhere, arrows are stuck all over the ground, the cavalry rumbles past, followed by countless Qin army infantry.
The person in charge of the pursuit was Zhao Chen, one of the Eight Heroes.
Wei Qing also gave him a death order to annihilate this wave of enemy troops in the wild!
The cavalry was very fast, and it didn't take long to catch up with the retreating ghost army. They fired the same powerful crossbows, and amid the miserable howls, the momentum of the horses continued unabated. With just one sweep, they ate the tail of the ghost army.
The news soon reached Laisen. When the latter heard the words, he was furious and his blood pressure instantly soared: "Turn around immediately! Destroy these Qin troops!"
He was already angry because he failed to break through the Northeast Pass, and now the Qin army is chasing him out! You don’t take yourself seriously!
The Ghost Army is now facing away from the Qin Army, and it will take a while to adjust its formation.
But how can the Qin army give you this time? What they are fighting is your opportunity to retreat!
Thousands of cavalrymen charged through the snow, and the ground shook, like a flood of beasts, sweeping in. (End of chapter)
