The deputy governor was silent now and didn't speak. Things had become like this, and now he didn't know whether to advance or retreat.
Because the reinforcements behind them are about to rush over, if they choose to continue to attack the city, they will not be able to capture Taiyin City before the reinforcements from Wulaishan arrive.
And if they choose to give up the siege and fight against the reinforcements behind them, but now their strength is getting smaller and smaller, and now there are so many defenders on the tower, this will cause them a lot of losses. , which is becoming more and more unfavorable to them.
"Grand Governor, maybe now we can only try our luck and have a head-to-head fight with the reinforcements from Wulaishan behind us!" The Deputy Governor thought for a while, and now this situation is obviously no longer suitable for siege.
Moreover, even if they were captured, the enemy troops behind them would have already attacked. They might be killed before they could enter the city.
"Hmph! Are you playing tricks on me? Just now you said you wanted to attack the city, and now you're telling me to fight them head-on. Do you know how many underworld soldiers I lost just because of your suggestion?" Hearing the deputy governor's proposal again, his face began to twist.
This guy's words are really irritating. When he said he wanted to break out of the siege, he also said he wanted to attack the city. Now in the middle of the siege, he said that he was going to fight the enemy head-on. This was leading troops to fight. Did he think this was just playing house?
"Sir, I know it's too late to say anything now, but the war is changing, and we can't predict all situations. The reason why I thought we could attack the city before was because they didn't have enough troops to defend the city. .
But now that they have suddenly appeared with so many defenders, it would be too much for us to gain more than lose if we attack the city again. So I ask the Governor to trust me again. Now we have no choice but to break out! "The deputy governor said solemnly.
When such a situation occurs, he naturally does not want to see it, but there is nothing he can do about it. The strange thing is that Wu Laishan is so treacherous. They actually showed weakness and deliberately let them attack the city in order to continuously consume their troops.
Just when they thought the other side was empty, so many troops appeared again, which suddenly shattered all his plans.
Fortunately, he still has 80,000 or 90,000 troops left. With such strength, they have a relatively high chance of survival.
"Sir, we can't attack the city anymore. Retreat quickly, otherwise, we will be attacked from both sides!" the deputy governor reminded again.
Now the enemy's reinforcements are about to rush forward. If they fight against Wulaishan's reinforcements outside the city gate, they will definitely not gain any advantage, because the defenders on Taiyin City can easily attack them.
Therefore, they must retreat first and fight the reinforcements from Wulaishan away from the city gate, which is more conducive to their safety.
"Retreat! The whole army retreats!" Although the Grand Governor was angry at this time, he really had no choice but to let them retreat.
The Underworld Army received the order, and the 80,000 to 90,000 troops retreated like a tide. However, they did not retreat far, and the reinforcements from Wulai Mountain had already come to kill them.
"Kill! Kill everyone in the underworld!" The commander of Wulaishan's reinforcements shouted loudly, and the ghost soldiers behind him frantically attacked the underworld army.
"Kill! If we break out of the siege, we can go back alive!" The Grand Governor of Hades was not to be outdone and shouted loudly.
At this point, they are most lucky to be alive.
However, the Ming army suffered repeated defeats, which brought great negative emotions to the Ming army, and their morale was already very low.
In addition, the reinforcements in Wulaishan were at a time when their morale was greatly increased, and their strength was nearly double theirs. Even with the constant encouragement of the Grand Governor, they did not have much confidence.
Therefore, when the two armies fight against each other, the underworld soldiers appear particularly vulnerable at this time. They were already at a numerical disadvantage, and as more and more Hades soldiers were killed, the situation in Hades became worse and worse.
"Kill everyone! We must break out of the siege!" At this time, even the Governor had to take action.
If they don't take action, they may not even have a chance to take action. However, the ghost king of Wulai Mountain had long noticed the masters in the Hades Army, so dozens of ghost kings surrounded a group of ghost king-level masters in the Hades.
"Kill! Everyone, follow this governor and fight out of the city!" At this moment, Taiyin City, led by the governor, also fought out of the city.
For a time, the underworld army was even more vulnerable. A large number of ghost soldiers were killed by the ghost soldiers of Wulaishan.
"Heaven is going to kill me!" The Governor of Hades looked sad. He knew that he was completely defeated this time.
Now, the Ghost King of Wulai Mountain has surrounded them. They have no way to escape and can only fight to the death.
——
Not far from the battle between the two armies, a group of figures stood, and they watched the entire battle.
"I didn't expect Wu Laishan to be really smart. Under the current circumstances, the defeat of Hades is an irreversible fact!" Xinhe said with emotion as he watched the battle.
"Indeed, I was still wondering before, why they didn't enter Taiyin City after they had arrived at Taiyin City early. Now it seems that they want to buy time for another 150,000 reinforcements, and at the same time, they can continue to consume the underworld. Army, now they have indeed succeeded." Cheng Yu said.
They had already inquired about the fifty thousand reinforcements, but they discovered that this team had been hiding outside the east gate and had not entered the city.
They didn't understand it before, but now they understand their intention.
"That's because the Underworld Army is too stupid. If they hadn't underestimated Wu Laishan and used such a small force to attack the city, how could they have ended up like this? I'm afraid they would have captured Taiyin City long ago!" Hai said disapprovingly.
"Although there is indeed an element of arrogance of the Hades in this, it is not entirely true. Because after attacking the city, they still have to consider the issue of garrisoning, so they naturally hope to use the least number of troops to break the city, so that they can ensure that they enter the city. Then there will be enough troops to defend the city.
Because Wu Laishan's troops are limited, they should also know that there are only 70,000 troops in Taiyin City. Plus the four city gates are fortified, there are actually not many troops at the north gate.
Therefore, they felt that capturing Taiyin City did not require too many troops. However, they underestimated Wulaishan's ability and Taiyin City's defense. If the siege fails again and again, the loss will be huge!
Their idea was good, but unfortunately it didn't work out. Otherwise, even if so many reinforcements come to Wulai Mountain for this battle, they may not be able to win this battle so easily! "Cheng Yu said.
