Early morning.
Wu Gu Mountain, the camp of the ghost army.
"No, General!"
A ghost army ran over in a panic: "The Qin army is coming!"
"What did you say?" The ghost general here looked like he had just gotten up and was still wearing his belt. He couldn't help but paused and frowned and said: "Aren't all the Qin army's troops concentrated in Shabei Fortress? How could they attack me at this time? bone."
"My subordinates don't know this either. Please ask the general to take charge of the overall situation." Ghost Army said hurriedly.
"Why panic? Wugu Mountain is so dangerous. How can it be so easy to attack? Since the Qin army is coming, just give them a head-on attack." The ghost general said and stepped out.
Simon.
By the time the ghost generals arrived, the Qin army outside had already launched an offensive posture.
Standing on the city wall and looking out, the Qin army formed several black square formations, with flags flying and no sound, but a murderous atmosphere permeated the entire place.
Seeing such a military appearance, the ghost general couldn't help but take a breath and said: "Strengthen the defense line and prepare the support troops at any time. Tell the warriors, don't be afraid. With the dangers of Wugu Mountain, we can definitely fight one against ten." !」
"Yes!" The person next to him immediately responded.
On the side of the Qin army.
What Ning Zhan wanted was a big fanfare, and what he wanted was to attract all the Wugushan ghost army to the west gate front line, so that Wei Qing could launch a roundabout blitz at the east gate.
The deputy general of the headquarters was beside him and couldn't help but ask: "General, do you want to fight?"
Ning Zhan looked up and saw that the sun was already rising on the horizon. The sun was pushing through the white clouds and dyeing the connection between the sky and the earth into a red glow.
Calculate the time, it’s almost time.
He said decisively: "Hit!"
"No!" The deputy general took the order and gestured directly to the side.
The horses neighed, and the messengers rode out and galloped between the various formations.
A Qin general shouted loudly.
The Qin army began to undergo large-scale changes.
The sound of armor scraping was heard everywhere, and groups of crossbowmen ran forward.
Arrow pots were placed on the ground one by one.
General Qin shouted loudly again.
The Qin army moved in unison, firing their bows in unison, squatting half-crouched in the first few rows, and aiming their powerful crossbows at the Wugu city defense.
There are also soldiers who are working together to open the crossbow beds, with several thick crossbow arrows placed on them, and the arrows are sharp and menacing.
The trebuchets were also pushed to the front of the formation, and groups of several people were responsible for filling the oil jars with stone bombs.
"Arrow Array——"
General Qin roared.
Immediately afterwards, the flag was waved forward fiercely.
"put!!!"
There was a buzzing sound, and black clouds suddenly rose!
The bow strings twitched and the powerful crossbows fired. At that moment, the air seemed to be torn apart. The dense arrow branches gathered together and swept in. In just an instant, they covered the city defense and penetrated diagonally everywhere.
There were sounds of arrows piercing flesh and screams everywhere, and some ghost soldiers who had no time to dodge were directly shot into hedgehogs.
The supporting troops waiting inside the city wall were also hit by random arrows, like rain. One after another, the ghost soldiers were nailed to the ground, wailing.
On the other side, the ghost general hid behind a large round shield, hurriedly dodged, and screamed at the same time: "What is this! Is it the arrow formation of the Qin army!"
Last time, Xiao Yuan tried to hit Wu Gu, but it was mainly to find out the city defense and the strength here, so he did not use the arrow formation to waste arrows.
It was the first time for the ghost general here to see such a terrifying scene, and it was unbelievable.
"Quick! Support the defense! Support the defense!"
he screamed in horror.
On the Qin army's side, after the arrow formation wreaked havoc, Ning Zhan drew out his sword with a swish sound, swung his sword on his horse and pointed in front of him: "Attack!!"
"Kill--"
On the battlefield, dust was flying, and the Qin army's infantry began to charge.
At the same time, some generals were shouting commands: "Light the fire!!!"
The oil altars on the trebuchets were lit by torches.
"put--"
The trebuchets were thrown, making mechanical bounce sounds one after another. Oil jars flew into the air one after another, forming arcs. Below, there were crowds of Qin army infantry.
boom! boom! boom!
Continuous explosions resounded throughout the black-bone city wall, fire oil splashed everywhere, and the tongues of fire raged along, burning each ghost army into a burning man.
"Avoid! Be careful to avoid——"
On the city wall, the ghost general did not dare to show up easily from a relatively safe position, and kept shouting: "The Qin army is about to attack the city, prepare to fight back!"
"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow quickly!"
The offensive and defensive battle of Wugushan broke out.
The sun rises in the east.
After half an hour of fierce fighting, the deputy general of the Qin Army headquarters came to Ning Zhan and said tentatively: "General, Wugu Mountain is really dangerous. The ghost army has built fortifications here. The soldiers are fighting hard. Is this a feint attack?" , can also cooperate with the roundabout troops."
"No!" Ning Zhan decisively refused: "If we don't attack this place fiercely, the ghost army will have no pressure. Let them know that if they don't defend with all their strength, they are in danger of destroying the city!"
He said in a trembling voice: "Send my order to the general! Create an attack momentum under the walls of the ridge on both sides of the ghost army, so that they are forced to fully defend!"
"No!" the deputy general took the order and left.
With this order, the intensity of the battle escalated again.
Although the ghost army has natural danger and defensive advantages, there is no doubt that they do not dare to relax at all. The ghost generals put all their efforts on the defense of the west gate because the opponent is too brave!
At the same time, in his mind, the east gate is the passage to his own base camp. How could it be in danger? The west gate is where the Qin army faces.
It's like having a fight at your doorstep, with the enemy right in front of you.
At the same time, on the other side, Wei Qing had already moved around and was in position.
It was easier than expected. The ghost army's defense at the east gate was indeed lax, or in other words, there was no defense at all. There were only some skirmishers standing guard at the camp gate, and there were not even hidden sentries.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several sharp arrows shot through the air, hitting the patrolling ghost soldiers. They screamed one after another. Before the other ghost soldiers could react, the loud shouts of killing could be heard outside.
"Kill--"
Looking up, a large number of Qin troops suddenly jumped out of the woods outside. They all raised their swords high and rushed toward the east gate crazily.
ah! ? The expressions of the remaining ghost soldiers standing guard suddenly changed, and they were shocked: "An enemy attack! It's an enemy attack——"
"Close the camp gate quickly!!!"
But at this time, it was already too late, and even if the camp gate was closed, how could they possibly hold it with just a small number of people.
However, there were still ghost soldiers moving hurriedly, but unfortunately the crossbow arrows had already been fired, and they were directly knocked to the ground, leaving several corpses at the camp gate.
There were also ghost soldiers on the wall who were about to bend their bows and place arrows, but were shot to death by random arrows before they could pull back.
There are no more surprises here. The Qin Army's vanguard troops broke through the east gate with just one charge. Afterwards, Wei Qing rode a war horse, followed by a steady stream of Qin Army soldiers.
After entering, he directly ordered: "Go to the west gate and fight! Kill all the ghost troops here!"
