Ling Su turned around and walked down the high ground for the first time under command.
"Lord, you should know that it's time." After walking a few more steps, Ling Su remembered something, turned around again, and raised his hand to the confused Zuo Shiren.
"Qide, how do you say this?"
"Now, it's time for us to destroy Lotus City!"
Ling Su softened the ferocious look on his face and said, "Pass my military order, the 20,000 selected elite battalion and the 20,000 civilian battalion will begin to change their armor."
"Military advisor, the 30,000 civilians who attacked the city earlier are almost all dead..."
"Of course I know." Ling Su smiled calmly.
"I said earlier that if you want to defeat the Lame Man, conventional siege methods will have no effect. Only attacking from a flank and cleverly using sound to attack the west can you have a chance."
"It's getting dark, so it's a good time. Send an order to all the battalions to fight tonight! But before that, let the people on the front line retreat first and wait for a heavy counterattack."
"Military advisor, I understand." Zuo Shiren thought for a while, "This should be a tactic of arrogant soldiers. We have been defeated for several days in a row, and there has been no night attack. If we attack at night tonight, the elite battalion will be in trouble again."
Soldiers and armor will definitely be able to catch someone by surprise."
The elite battalion is not just Dongling soldiers, but 20,000 elites selected from Dongling soldiers and the Liang Wang Army. Now Yi Jia, a commoner, is equivalent to switching identities.
Of course, the battle losses are expected to be high. But as long as Liancheng can be captured and the chance of victory is gained, these things don't seem to be that important.
"My lord, it's not all like this. A lame man's heart is very scheming. If you want to win over a lame man, you have to keep distracting him."
Ling Su raised his head and looked at the dusk in the distance, "It's almost time for Mi Hu to send someone to report back today."
"It will take a few days for Mihu to make a detour. If he sends someone to report back -"
"Lord." Ling Su smiled, "I told Mi Hu before that leaving one person every twenty miles and reporting to each level will not waste any time."
"Zide's brilliant plan!"
…
At this time, Mi Hu, taking advantage of the darkness, took his men and horses to hide in the mountains and forests, and did not go down the mountain immediately.
"As expected by the military advisor, the Shu people buried many people and horses on the grain road at the foot of the mountain, even in the fortress at the Horn."
"General Mihu, what should we do now? We are going to kill the Shu people and avenge the dead Shanyue warriors!"
"nature!"
Mi Hu gritted his teeth and did not immediately give the order.
According to Ling Su's instructions, he had to cooperate with the attack in front of Liancheng, which was the best opportunity.
"Look at the sky, the military advisor will have signal arrows."
…
"Ugly time."
Lingsu stood in the wind, standing proudly with his hands behind his back.
"Tell me how many civilian soldiers there are in the front line."
"Not counting Yijia, there are less than five thousand people." General Pi's voice was weak. Although he was not a regular soldier, he was still from Dongling. He felt uncomfortable in his heart to die like this.
"Send the order for them to charge for the last time."
"Military advisor, if not I will send an order to the elite battalion——"
"Shut up." Ling Su interrupted coldly, "I'll say it again. Immediately go and send an order for the people from Minfu Camp to charge the last line tonight. Those who survive are the veterans from Dongling, and they will be paid the same as Shanyue Camp.
.”
Xiao Pijiang gritted his teeth and followed the order and walked back.
Not long after, under the order, the civilian camp of more than 5,000 people was hurriedly ordered to reorganize the army. The faces of many people revealed a sense of numbness. It was not that no one escaped. In a few days, at least they escaped.
There were more than a thousand people, but most of them were captured and dealt with under military law and tortured.
Under the death order, more and more people did not dare to escape easily, so they had no choice but to continue to huddle in the camp and continue to be Dongling's meat army.
"Keep your head up."
The more than five thousand civilians raised their heads sickly, with no hope in their eyes. The morale they had accumulated in order to avenge their fellow villagers and neighbors had also disappeared as they continued to serve as cannon fodder for sieges.
All done.
"My Lord and the military advisor have said that this is the last attack on the city. If you can survive, you will be a veteran and receive the same pay as the Shanyue Camp!"
"Hold your head up and hold your chest out!"
One by one, the generals waved their military whips and walked past the side of the civilian camp. From time to time, civilians fell to the ground and screamed in pain after being whipped.
"Stop, stop!"
At some point, Zuo Shiren ran out from the side. With red eyes, he took off General Pi's military whip and threw it to the ground angrily. He then stretched out his hand to help several civilians who had fallen to the ground, sobbing loudly.
"It's me, Zuo Shiren, and I'm sorry to all of you. I, Zuo Shiren, apologize to you all!"
Zuo Shiren cried and knelt down in front of more than five thousand people.
Finally, among the long line of civilian husbands, someone's face became excited.
"My lord is a benevolent king... but we don't understand the general situation."
"My lord, please wake up!"
Zuo Shiren looked up, his eyes red and swollen from crying.
"If the war had not been urgent, Dongling was in trouble, and the Shu people were aggressive, why would I have let you fellow villagers take the risk of going to the battlefield?"
"But this time, we can't capture Liancheng! The army of the Shu people will attack the three states of Dongling. By then, the lives of our people in Dongling will be in ruins!"
"If I have to keep my broken body and revive the Dongling Mountains and Rivers, I, Zuo Shiren, really want to die to apologize!"
"Lord!"
"My lord——"
…
Turning around and walking back, Zuo Shiren wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"My Lord is righteous."
"Qi De, you are joking." Zuo Shiren frowned, "I, Zuo Shiren, have done everything I should do. Next, let's look at Qi De."
"Of course. Please wait and see, my lord, tonight is the time of crisis for Liancheng!"
"The camp of more than five thousand civilians has already formed a formation and killed them."
Ling Su nodded and turned his gaze. He looked quietly at the civilian camp of more than 5,000 people under the night. Just like the previous days, under the command of General Pi, they formed four or five square formations, preparing to press against Lian.
city.
…
"Enemy attack! Lingdog night battle!"
Woo, woo.
Not long after, the Western Sichuan garrison on night patrol quickly discovered the dark enemy troops outside the city. Following the sound of night-waking chants, the garrison quickly gathered on top of the entire Liancheng city.
Ma Yi put on his helmet coldly and hurriedly walked to the city wall with his sword in hand.
"General Ma, it's the civilian camp again."
"No need to ask anymore, if you get close to the shooting range, shoot immediately!"
In the city, the corpses piled up by Plague had not yet been burned. At this moment, the enemy army came to attack the city again.
"General Ma, the stone-throwing baggage is insufficient, and the civilians in the city have begun to smash the stone houses."
Ma Yi drew his knife, and the back of the knife hit the wall, making a clanging sound.
"First it's a plague plan, and then it's a night attack, but no matter what the means, tonight we will defend Liancheng to the death and fight to the death!"
Encouraged by Ma Yi, many defenders immediately dispersed their fatigue, raised their swords one after another, and roared endlessly on the top of the city.
…
Not far away, Dongfang Jing, who had just rested for a while, still had tiredness in his eyes. But he soon sat on the top of the city again, quietly looking at the enemy troops outside the city.
He had a hunch that this time, the Hidden Lin Lingsu was going to perform the grand finale.
