Chapter 179: Change of offense and defense

Rizhao is in chaos. Although the two thousand people sound much smaller than 30,000 people, they are actually lined up and there is a large area that can’t be seen at a glance.

Besides, the attack on the city was tightly, and the back door was wide open at this time. The Rizhaoguan defenders were immediately panicked. In addition, all the disciples of Jueling Sect were very skilled, and they could use one to ten. In the instant Rizhaoguan, corpses were everywhere and blood flowed into a river.

Seeing signs of chaos appearing on the city head, Gu Du drew his sword and urged his horse to rush towards the city wall. He wanted to go up. Only when he rushed to the city head could he open the city gate in the shortest time. Otherwise, the disciples of Jueling Sect would be surrounded by exhaustion.

Deputy General Zheng Pei shouted in panic: "The whole army attacked the city!"

The entire army's siege means that everyone must be exposed to the range of the enemy's crossbow. It is unwise to do so before the city gate is opened, and it is also an act of cutting off one's own way of retreat.

However, the deputy general had no choice. He could not let Gu Du take risks alone. If there were any mistakes, he would not survive. Although the entire army suffered heavy casualties in the siege, it was enough to attract enemy firepower and allow Gu Du to successfully climb to the top of the city.

Gu Du turned around and glared at the deputy general fiercely, but the general order was already put in. He could not stop and stop the charge, as it would damage his spirit. Besides, all the war drums were pounding together, and the sound of killing was shocking. Even if he activated his spiritual power and shouted, few people could hear it.

Gu Du cursed in his heart that the whole army can attack the city, but at least he can order it when he gets on the city. Do you have to explain such an obvious and simple thing in advance? It's so stupider than a pig!

In fact, the shocking power of the entire army's siege was far beyond Gu Du's imagination. After all, the back door of Rizhaoguan was wide open, and Guanzhong was in chaos. Di Qiuhan led dozens of disciples with the strongest martial arts to the north gate. When Gu Du charged, these dozens of disciples of Jueling Sect had killed most of the defenders in front of the north gate.

There was an arrow from the city wall. Seeing that the city gate was opened, Gu Du raised his sword and shouted in a row: "Heavenly betray the country! Kill..."

All the generals and above were captured because Gu Du learned the lessons of the Sunset Pass and revised the reward and punishment regulations. Anyone who captured the enemy generals alive would be based on the principle of killing a hundred people. No matter how many people worked together to capture them, each person would be based on the principle of killing a hundred people.

So the general guarding the pass became a hot commodity. Zejun rushed up like a locust. Tang Shuo was suppressed by dozens of people, almost suffocating.

Gu Du set up a banquet to invite the captured generals, and everyone was disgusted.

Gu Du said: "I have been parting for nearly ten years. Generals, please drink this cup full."

Tang Shuo lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I will not surrender to you."

Gu Du replied: "I did not persuade you to surrender. After this banquet, I will let you go back."

Everyone looked at Gu Du, and Gu Du smiled and said, "It is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is hard to find a good general. You are all generals who have been leading the army for many years, and they are all talents. If you don't surrender to me at this time, I will destroy the Ling Kingdom and kill the Ling Emperor, and the world will be unified. Do you want to get rid of your armor and return to the field?"

Tang Shuo looked at Gu Du and said, "You are so angry."

Gu Du smiled and replied, "It's not that he is very angry, but that the Spirit Emperor forced my wife and children to death. I will never stop until death."

Tang Shuo withdrew his gaze, Gu Du raised his glass again and said, "My generals, please."

At this time, the disciples of Jueling Sect had already returned to Lingyu County, and Lingyu County was resisting the attack of the Ling army.

Most of the people in Lingyu County are migrants from Zeguo. The entire Zeguo has always been soldiers, from 60-year-olds to 10-year-old children. As long as they encounter an enemy, they will cooperate with the army.

This is also another important reason why Gu Du moved his people. It is difficult to guard the lonely city. If there is no heart to the people, disaster will surely cause chaos.

The Ling army attacked the city for three consecutive days, with more than 40,000 casualties. Zhu Shuangbai, the county lord general of the former Linghe County, advised Hou Ying, the commander of the battle: "General, you can't fight like this. If the casualties are too severe, even if Lingyu County is captured, the emperor will not be satisfied, and there is Sunset Pass."

Hou Ying sighed and ordered the troops to withdraw his troops and return to the camp, and invited Chu Qin to the commander's tent.

This time, Chu Qin was the army supervising Chu Qin. On the one hand, the Emperor of Ling believed that Chu Qin was the person who was most familiar with Gu Du. On the other hand, Chu Qin was the best among the soul masters. Not only was he strong in spiritual power, but he was also good at using troops.

It’s just that Linghuang is not convenient for him to hand over the military power to Chu Qin, because Lingguo is not a Zeguo, and Lingguo cannot copy all the methods of Zeguo. If everything is copied, Lingguo will be defeated without fighting.

Hou Ying's face was gloomy and said with a little depressed feeling: "There are too many casualties for three days in a row. Can the priest have good plans?"

Chu Qin shook her head and replied, "Zeguo is no longer the same as before. Although their soul army was extremely large in the past, their spiritual power was extremely poor. But now their soul army is comparable to our soul army. Moreover, Zeguo has always been brave, and Zeguo is a military-civilian unity..."

Chu Qin stopped and didn't say anything further, but the implication was already very obvious. Lingyu County could not be captured. Not to mention the casualties of 40,000 people, even if there were another 100,000 people, it would not be possible to break the city.

The so-called military-civilian integration means that everyone can fight and no one is afraid of death. Moreover, the Ze army has always been the side that attacks the city, but now the situation is very different if it is the side that guards the city.

It was very strange that Zejun defended the city. He did not push people down or throw thunderstones, but placed people on the city wall and killed them. However, judging from the situation of the corpse, Zejun was trying to cut off people's heads, which should be the key to Zeguo's winning battle. He had to use the enemy's heads to ask for credit.

Hou Ying sighed and said, "It would be great if he followed the priest's words, sent troops from Rizhaoguan and rushed to the Imperial City of Zeguo."

Chu Qin said, "It's not the case. The emperor is right. Gu Du is trying to avenge his personal revenge. Even if the Zeguo Imperial City is in a hurry, he may not necessarily return to the army to help, and how many troops will be used to attack? If there is less, the country will be empty, and Gu Du will take the opportunity to lead his army south. Besides, if we run for a long distance, once we fall into a fierce battle, Gu Du will inevitably rob the food route."

Hou Ying sighed again and asked, "As the priest, can't you really surrender Gu Du? Is there no chance at all?"

Chu Qin laughed and said, "General, how can a person be resurrected after death? What's more, Lixia is now the queen of Xia, and Gu Du is the uncle of Zeguo. What can Lingguo give him to him to make him moved?"

Hou Ying was silent, Chu Qin lowered her voice and said, "General, listen to my advice and wait for two days first. Gu Du is not in Lingyu County."

"What?" Hou Ying stared at Chu Qin with her eyes.

Chu Qin whispered: "I didn't interact with him, but I can feel that if he was in Lingyu County, our casualties would be even worse."

Hou Ying also lowered his voice and asked, "He is not in Lingyu County? Where can he go? Go back to China to transfer troops?"

Chu Qin shook her head and whispered: "If it were me, if the enemy country would fight, I would order the deputy general to strengthen the walls and clear the fields and not be able to defend it, and I would lead my army to attack Rizhaoguan."
