The Qin army's offensive was fierce. However, the numerical superiority of the Peixian city defenders was reflected at this time. Even if the Qin army was elite, one person who died would be one less person, and sieges were inherently the kind of battle with the highest casualties.

Therefore, even though the Qin army was brave and the city wall of Pei County was occupied many times, fortunately, the Pei army was not afraid of death and also recaptured the city tower.

As a result, until dawn, the Qin army still failed to capture the city tower. Finally, the county supervisor Ping had no choice but to temporarily order the Qin army to withdraw. Otherwise, continuing to fight would simply increase casualties. In this battle, the Qin army

It's not that they couldn't conquer the city, but that they didn't have the advantage in terms of numbers. After capturing the next section of the tower, the Qin army that followed couldn't keep up. This happened over and over again, leaving thousands of corpses behind, and the Qin army could only evacuate to the military camp.

Although the Qin army's temporary retreat made the Pei army happy, they also knew that the situation was not optimistic. In this battle, the Pei army also suffered more than 600 deaths, nearly 100 serious injuries, and thousands more minor injuries. It can be said that it paid a heavy price.

Looking at the Qin army, Yang Lin ordered the soldiers to rest first, and in Pei County, the people also prepared meals. When Lu Wen saw that the battle was over, he immediately sent people to deliver meals. After a night of fighting, the Pei army survived.

After a lot of consumption, when they saw breakfast, everyone wolfed it down in a hurry, like hungry people who hadn't eaten for many days.

Yang Lin took the breakfast from Lu Taigong with a solemn look. He frowned and did not relax because of the retreat of the Qin army. Seeing this, Lu Taigong certainly knew the latter's worries. He stepped forward and respectfully persuaded: "

Lord, the Qin army is attacking the city, we have the city to rely on, and our numerical advantage is here, so there is no need to worry."

Yang Lin knew that Lu Taigong was comforting himself. He waved his sleeves, pointed at the Qin army's camp and said: "Although the Qin army left thousands of corpses, our army also died more than 600 people. The combat effectiveness of these Qin troops cannot be underestimated."

.In general siege battles, if one of our troops dies, three of the enemy’s troops need to die. But this time, our army’s casualties were only slightly better than those of the Qin army. The situation is still not optimistic.”

Lu Taigong smiled bitterly. It was obvious that he could not persuade Yang Lin to calm down. He added: "My lord, your analysis is absolutely correct. However, the current situation does not allow our army to attack again."

Yang Lin nodded. Then he said: "I'm afraid there will be support from the Qin army today. Maybe in the afternoon or evening, the Qin army will attack the city again. Lu Wen, let the people who participated in the battle last night have a good rest. In addition, the north tower was damaged last night."

how?"

Upon hearing this, Taigong Lu's face became solemn and he replied in a deep voice: "After all, the common people are not as good as soldiers. They resisted the siege of a thousand Qin troops last night. There were nearly four hundred casualties."

"The people who died in the battle were given double compensation and rewards, and the injured were also given land after the war." Yang Lin was silent for a moment, thought carefully, and then ordered.

"No!" Lu Taigong accepted the order and said: "Lu Wen understands, please relax, my lord, Lu Wen knows how to handle these matters, and he will not let down the hearts of the people of Peixian County."

"That's all. Just retreat. Let's make good arrangements." Yang Lin waved his hand to Lu Taigong to retreat, and he and the other soldiers ate and rested together on the tower.

In the military camp in Pei County, last night's fierce battle made Cao Shen and other generals extremely worried. If they had not been punished, their buttocks would be so bruised that they would not be able to get to the ground. How could they be missing from last night's battle?

"I wonder what happened to my lord?" Cao Shen said anxiously to himself, thinking of the consequences of his recklessness, he regretted it endlessly.

Looking at the Qin army camp again, after the county commanders withdrew their troops, the entire Qin army was filled with a heavy atmosphere. After last night's battle, only a few people were left, including the defenders from Pengcheng and other counties.

When there were three thousand or six thousand people, half of them were lost overnight, which was impossible for any general to accept.

The county captain gloomily summoned the generals, patted the table, and said in a low voice: "It is my fault that our army failed in this battle. From the beginning, we fell into Yang Lin's trap, and our army was defeated because we should not have done so.

The siege but not attack gave the traitor Li Yang Lin the opportunity to attack at night, causing heavy losses to the west gate and south gate."

"Jun Lieutenant, don't blame yourself. This is Yang Lin's cunning. We never thought he would be so bold and dare to attack our army at night." County Supervisor Ping hurriedly advised. In fact, the one who knows Yang Lin the most here is

, and it must be him. When he first came to conquer, he suffered the loss of a night attack. At that time, the Pei army was weak, so in order to defeat the enemy, he came up with a night attack to burn food. But this time, it was obvious that later

The practitioner repeated his old tricks again and achieved the same results. This made County Supervisor Ping no longer dare to look down on Yang Lin.

"You don't need to say more. At this time, we order our army to rest temporarily and wait for the Qin army from other counties to arrive. In the evening, our army will regroup and attack Pei County." The county captain already had a plan in mind, so he ordered.

After hearing the order, the county supervisor Ping reminded him with some worry: "The commander-in-chief, I think that this city cannot be conquered without three times the strength of Pei's army."

The commander-in-chief naturally knew the ratio of soldiers to siege soldiers. If he wanted to siege the city, he would need ten times more troops than the opponent. If he wanted to attack the city, the death rate for both attackers and defenders would be close to three to one. Yesterday, he dared to siege the city with 6,000 men. In fact, he believed it too much.

The strength of the Qin army misjudged the combat effectiveness of the Pei army. At the same time, he besieged the city not to attack the city, but to prevent the Pei army from abandoning the city and fleeing. His original intention was to gather nearly 10,000 Qin troops today and then attack again.

Siege the city.

However, due to Yang Lin's calculations, he had to attack the city in advance, which resulted in heavy losses last night. To put it simply, the county lieutenant did not expect the tenacious fighting power of the Pei army.

"I don't know what you mean. But now, although our army has suffered many casualties, so has Pei's army. Therefore, when reinforcements arrive, there is still a chance to capture this city." The county captain's eyes flickered and he said in a deep voice.

After hearing this, the county supervisor Ping did not dissuade him. After all, the county captain was the commander-in-chief, and he was just his deputy. After that, the generals left one after another to pass on the order.

As time passed, at noon, reinforcements from several counties arrived one after another in the Qin army's camp, and the total number of Qin army increased from less than 3,000 to 6,000 again.

However, just when the county captain wanted to attack the city again, soldiers from Xiangxian County hurriedly reported that Zhou Shi led nearly a thousand Wei troops to capture Xiangxian County.

When the county lieutenant knew this, he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood angrily, "Zhou Shi——"

Seeing this, the other generals immediately took a step forward. The county supervisor Ping even anxiously came to the side of the county captain's desk to support the county captain, and said anxiously: "Jiang Lieutenant, don't be anxious. The kid from Zhoushi is bullying our army.

To use such despicable methods during the conquest of Yanglin is really not the behavior of a hero."

The county lieutenant patted the table and said sadly: "What is a hero? He came to our Sishui County all week just to capture the city and the territory."

"What does the commander-in-chief want our army to do? Should we attack Peixian County or not?" Another general asked anxiously.

The county lieutenant looked at this man and shouted: "What a waste of attack. Jian Ping ordered the whole army to return to Xiangxian County immediately. This is the seat of our county. We must not let Zhou Shi's children invade it. We will use all the strength of the whole county to give it to us."

I'll take it back."

County Supervisor Ping also knew the seriousness of the situation. Xiangxian County is different from other counties. This is the seat of Sishui County. In other words, it is like the capital of Sishui County. Losing the capital is actually a slap in the face of the entire Sishui County. Let me ask.

How could the county captain tolerate this?

Then, the entire Qin army began to break camp. A moment later, the six thousand black-armored Qin army left Pei County at full speed, leaving only billowing smoke and dust flying in the wind.

"Yang Lin, I'll let you go to Peixian City today." The county lieutenant looked at the city behind him unwillingly and sighed. He couldn't kill two birds with one stone. Instead, he was pecked by two birds. Naturally, the county lieutenant felt extremely depressed.

On the city tower, when he saw the integrated Qin army leaving, Yang Lin was shocked, obviously not knowing what happened.

"Lord, the Qin army has retreated." Li Ba shouted hurriedly, and then the entire Pei army burst into loud cheers. Knowing this, the people in the city also breathed a sigh of relief, and their uneasy hearts finally calmed down.

"Order the scouts to follow us from a distance. We must ensure that the Qin army leaves our Pei County territory." Yang Lin did not relax like Li Ba and others, but frowned and ordered. This time the county captain came fiercely, but he also

The hurry of walking made him worried, fearing that there was some fraud involved.

Zhou Bo then received the order and immediately arranged for more than a dozen scouts to follow the Qin army. It was not until dusk when the scouts returned that they learned that the Qin army had completely left the country. Only then did Yang Lin return to the county government. He was exhausted from the two days of tension.

Endless.

After returning to the county government office, Lu Zhi immediately brought him hot water. After washing, he had dinner with Yang's mother. Yang Lin also lay on the bed to rest early. Seeing this, Lu Zhi couldn't help but wipe it gently.

Tears in the corners of her eyes. Seeing her beloved man so tired and sentimental, how could she still feel at ease?

In Xiangxian County, due to the weak defense, the Wei army led by Zhou Shi, who led nearly a thousand people, easily captured the city. After entering the city, the Wei army was like a wolf, starting to plunder every household, taking away everything they could eat.

What's more, they met a young woman and kidnapped her together. The whole Xiang County is now in chaos.

The people of Xiangxian County wailed and begged for mercy. As the people of the county government, they had never encountered such a military rebellion. What the Wei army did at this time disgusted the people, but they did not dare to resist.

In the mansion of the commander-in-chief of Xiangxian County, Zhou Shi personally sat in the lobby. The table was filled with chicken, duck and fish. After being hungry for two days, he finally had a full meal after capturing Xiangxian County. After eating with a group of Wei army generals, he immediately

The order said: "Let the soldiers rest outside the mansion after they have finished searching. Our army will leave the city tomorrow. Otherwise, when the Sishui County captain and his troops arrive, it will be difficult for our army to leave."

"No!" The generals immediately accepted the order.

"Also, you all go down and restrain your soldiers. Although our army is against Qin, there are very few Qin people here. The soldiers must not disrupt military discipline, ruin the reputation of our Wei army, and insult the majesty of our King Wei." Zhou Zhou

The city ordered again.
