The commander of the ghost army who attacked Liucheng this time was named Helianbo, and he is also a solid battle faction within the ghost clan.

At this moment, when he was doing this, the messenger's face was scared to death. While he was grabbed by his neck, he also said tremblingly:

"General, how dare the villain talk nonsense like this military situation..."

During the war, lying about military information was a huge crime. Even if he gave the commander ten courage, he would not dare to do so.

The reason why Helianbo was like this was because he didn't want to believe it. Now that he heard this again, he couldn't help but roar and then pushed the messenger away.

At this time, his deputy general also began to say anxiously: "General! Let's go back to the aid camp quickly!"

"No!" Helianbo waved his hand directly and said coldly: "Continue to attack the city!"

Ah? When the deputy general heard this, he immediately became worried: "But General, at this point, Liucheng will never be destroyed. If we cannot capture it for a long time, our army will lose its subsequent supplies. At that time, the entire army will be in danger."

"What's the use of returning to the aid camp now? After the enemy burned the food and grass, wouldn't it be there to wait for you?"

Helianbo first glared at the deputy general, then pointed to the city gate ahead, and said, "Now Lu Bolin's main army is not here. There are not many defenders in the city. Once the city is broken, our army can search and loot at will, but they are still afraid.

Nothing to eat!"

After saying that, he shouted again: "Send the order and continue to attack! Before dark, be sure to break through Liucheng!"

"yes!"

Helianbo's food and grass were destroyed, and he did not withdraw his troops in a hurry at the first time. Instead, he decided to destroy Liucheng quickly. His idea was good, but he did not expect that the Liucheng defenders were so tenacious.

In Liucheng, not only did the guarding city have complete equipment and endless rocks and rolling wood, Peng Shuang also defended himself to fight, taking the lead in killing the enemy and boosting morale.

Such military generals are just in line with the saying that the general has the intention to die, and the scholar has no desire to live.

Five thousand soldiers, without giving in, also caused an absolute hard battle today.

When the battle was dark, Helianbo was forced to withdraw his troops. Then the army besieged the city and arranged everything, he also said quietly:

"It seems that in this battle, we underestimated the Lord Liu City General. Unexpectedly, when the army was approaching, he dared to take the initiative, and Liu City's defense was beyond my expectations."

An army has its combat power and action power directly linked to the main general.

Perhaps it was because he had been used to fighting easy battles with the Central Plains army before, and Liu Cheng, who was originally sure to win, did not expect to be frustrated in one battle, but now Helianbo has also become frowning.

After hearing his words, his deputy general couldn't help but reminded: "General, our troops have a bloody battle today and failed to break through Liucheng. The food and grass were destroyed. Although the warriors still had some dry food, they could only serve two or three days.

If you don't retreat again…”

He said this, but there was no sound. Helianbo couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "Try again tomorrow."

On the other hand, after the Ghost Army withdrew its troops, the soldiers guarding the city were as exhausted as they were, holding long halberds in their hands and leaning on the ground.

At this time, Peng Shuang was also covered in blood and had killed many enemies. After the battle, the defenders also began to count the losses after the war.

At present, it was getting dark and the army had started to make rice, but Peng Shuang did not dare to relax at all and was still patrolling the city defense on the top of the city.

Not long after, a general came to report and said, "General Peng, the counting has been completed."

"How much has our troops lost?" Peng Shuang asked immediately.

"This..." the general hesitated for a moment and said, "More than 2,000 soldiers were killed and thousands of injured."

"In other words, there are only two thousand soldiers in the battle?" Peng Shuang also frowned.

"Yes, General." As he spoke, the general's face was full of worries, and then he said worriedly:

"In this battle, the Ghost Army's offensive was fierce, and our troops were insufficient, so the damage was severe. If the enemy attacked again tomorrow, what should we do? In addition, I don't know what the situation is going on with General Xiao.

”

As the two were talking, a soldier ran over quickly, then knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Report to General, the county magistrate Liu is here."

What did he do? Peng Shuang raised his eyebrows slightly. Before he could say anything, Liu Yuzhi was already wearing an official uniform and quickly walked up to the city.

There was no choice but to meet him, hugged him and said, "Mr. Liu."

"General Peng." Liu Yuzhi also bowed, then glanced at the situation on the city slightly, and said straight to the point: "In today's battle, I don't know how the general's troops were damaged."

He is the local county magistrate. If the ghost army breaks the city, no one in the city will be spared. It is reasonable for him to care about the war. His previous period is fully assisting and cooperating with the defenders, which is equivalent to the defensive battle in Liucheng.

Your own people.

Therefore, Peng Shuang had nothing to hide and said bluntly: "There is insufficient troops and nearly half of them are lost."

"In this way, if the Ghost Army launches another strong attack tomorrow, Liu City will be in danger." Liu Yu's way.

Peng Shuang glanced at him and thought he was afraid when he heard him. He couldn't help but say, "Mr. Liu, don't panic. In this battle, even if one soldier and one soldier are fighting, I will never give in. At that time, I will die.

It was also our soldiers who fought to death in Chengguan first!”

"Hey? The general misunderstood." However, Liu Yuzhi waved his hand and said calmly: "I have a plan that may solve the current danger."

What!? Hearing this, Peng Shuang couldn't help but feel shocked and immediately asked: "This is what you said seriously!"

Liu Yuzhi was not busy explaining, but said: "I have heard of General Xiao's strategy of raiding the enemy's food and grass camps before, but I don't know if it was successful."

Peng Shuang said truthfully: "Now the ghost army is besieging the city, and the news cannot be heard at all, but one thing is certain that General Xiao must have implemented this strategy."

"Yeah..." After hearing his explanation, Liu Yuzhi pondered for a moment and then said, "In this way, tomorrow, I will mobilize the people in the city to defend the city with the general. At that time, the whole city will be full of soldiers, and all the people will be armed with soldiers.

Holding a long halberd in hand, he was ready to fight, his army was solemn and shocked the enemy."

"Is this OK?" Peng Shuang couldn't help but frown and asked.

"For the sake of the present, this is the only way. If General Xiao has successfully burned the enemy's food and grass, the ghost army has failed to break the city after a battle today. Tomorrow, we will see so many defenders in the city.

He can no longer break the city in a short time, and there is no follow-up food and grass. He will inevitably withdraw his troops in a while." Liu Yu's way.

As he spoke, he explained: "The general's troops are no longer enough to defend the city. If this is not the case, even if the ghost army's food and grass are destroyed, they will only attack more fiercely when they see the emptiness of Liucheng. They can only use illusions to make

The Ghost Army felt that there were many defenders in Liucheng, and they would have no hope of breaking the city in the short term."

"But this..." Peng Shuang said with some concern: "If the ghost army still launches a strong attack, then..."

After all, the people are different from soldiers, so they have never been on the battlefield.

Liu Yuzhi could understand Peng Shuang's worries, and he immediately said seriously: "The general wants to live and die with Liucheng, and the same is true for me!"

Unexpectedly, he, a civil servant and a mere county magistrate, had such backbone. Peng Shuang couldn't help but look at him again.
