Chapter 1196: Breaking Jingyang

"Ship Huang." After returning to the formation, Yin Dian was still unwilling to accept it. How could he bear to withdraw his troops like this?

Knowing what he was going to say, Huang Zu raised his hand slightly and said with a calm face: "The Qin army's follow-up troops have arrived in Lichuan. It is not advisable to attack like this again at this time, as long as the strategies and tactics are changed."

As he said that, he said, "Get out the troops first, and then do his plan."

"But Huang Shuai, what should I do if I delay here?" Yin Dian was a little anxious.

"Jingyang can no longer be saved!" Huang Zu said: "Now Su Yi is here. Lichuan has heavy Qin troops, which cannot be defeated in the short term. How can Jingyang last for so long? What we can do now is to prevent the Qin army from furthering after Lichuan and find a way to defeat Su Yi!"

"Walk!"

Under his command, the sound of gold sounded, and the overwhelming spiritual army began to slowly retreat from the plain outside the city.

Knowing that he could not do it, Huang Zu would not do it. Since there is no hope of rescuing Jingyang, he could only give up decisively and guard the position behind Lichuan. This is the best strategy to get out of the situation that has always been passive.

On the top of the city, watching the spiritual army retreat, Peng Shuang couldn't help but say, "Su Shuai, you can take advantage of the victory now."

"Chasing you!" Su Yi said without hesitation: "Who is Huang Zu? The spiritual army retreating in an orderly manner, how can we take advantage of the victory?"

Peng Shuang curled his lips and deliberately attacked: "It sounds nice. I think you are afraid of Huang Zu, right?"

This guy also knew that he was provoking, and Su Yi was happy: "Whether the formation or the tough battle, I am afraid of him. But now, I hope Huang Zu will attack Lichuan desperately, but now it seems that he may turn off attack to defense."

After saying that, he said, "I'll send a command to Ning to fight. It's no longer strategic in surround Jingyang for a long time. Let him take it as soon as possible."

He was right. Jingyang is a county town. No matter what, there are some reserves in it. If you insist on surrounding it, you don’t know how long it will take. It will be pacified one day earlier and the rear will be more stable one day earlier. This can be used as a place to stay for advance and retreat.

Otherwise, if there is an accident in Lichuan and Jingyang has not yet captured, it will be a big deal.

In the afternoon of the same day, after receiving Su Yi's military order, Ning Zhan immediately made certain adjustments to the four formation troops that captured Jingyang.

At the place where the troops were discussed, he said: "Now, we are sieging Jingyang from all sides and attacking. The defenders in the city will inevitably defend from four aspects. Based on this, we can feint attacks from the east, west and south, constantly invade, with the north gate as the main force, and fight it for three days and three nights!"

As he spoke, he also suddenly inserted the black flag representing the Qin army into the top of Jingyang City.

This offensive strategy is simple, but it is the best way to attack Jingyang.

As Ning Zhan said, Fang Zan had no choice but to face the attack everywhere, he could only divide the existing nine thousand troops into four aspects to defend.

This greatly dispersed the power to defend the city. As long as you attack one place, you will be broken sooner or later.

At this moment, in Jingyang City, the county magistrate was full of anxiety and said worriedly: "Sir Huang was intercepted by Lichuan, and Jingyang was besieged by the Qin army again. What should I do?"

Fang Zan said: "There is no way now, I can only defend one day. I hope Huang Shuai can break through Lichuan as soon as possible."

As he said that, he asked again: "Mr. Pang Da, is the food and supplies in the city still enough?"

"This is fine, and it can still be supported in terms of food and grass." The county magistrate replied, and said worriedly: "General Fang, no matter what, you must defend Jingyang."

This place is completely isolated and helpless. Fang Zan has no confidence, but he still said on his face: "Don't worry, even if he fights one soldier, the last general will not let Jingyang lose anything."

"That's good, that's good..."

Not long after, the siege of Jingyang began.

The Qin army began to attack the city from four directions, east, west, south, north and north.

Of course, the east and south are feinted on three sides, aiming to restrain the effective troops in the city and cooperate with the main force of the North Gate to break through.

But no matter whether he had a feint attack or not, Fang Zan had only so many troops, and he did not dare to do so, nor did he have enough time to move back and forth, so he could only deploy more than 2,000 people in each position.

Under such circumstances, the war at the North Gate was the most fierce. Ning Zhan suppressed more than 20,000 troops here, divided them into several groups, and carried out a series of strong attacks.

The Qin army's arrow formation was unique in the world, with strong bows and crossbows, which made the spiritual army at the head of the North Gate city unable to raise its head. Before they could really fight, many people were shot and killed by arrows.

However, more than 2,000 people guarded a city defense, and they would definitely be able to hold on on the first day, but this tragic level has already put the North Gate in danger.

Moreover, after a fierce attack, the Qin army followed another round, without stopping, and did not give you any chance to breathe and fix or change defense. The purpose is also very obvious, which is to wipe out the spiritual army from the North Gate.

In this situation, the North Gate Guard was in a hurry, but after receiving the news, Fang Zan had no choice but to grit his teeth and said: "The other defense lines are under attack, and there is no force to support the North Gate! Tell General Chen that even if he dies, he will defend the North Gate for me!"

Although the military order was given the iron blood, the guard of the North Gate also wanted to hold on to his death, but the continuous decline in troops made him unable to make the world come true even if he had great skills.

The Qin army had more than 20,000 people, ten times more than the enemy. If they could not be defeated, they would not have to be the eight brave generals.

What's more, there are so many powerful siege tools.

It is said that he is preparing to fight for three days and three nights, but in just two days, the North Gate has been declared to fall. More than 2,000 spiritual troops have died, injured, and the remaining troops are no longer enough to stick to the defense line.

On the ladder, there were still people climbing up and jumping, joining the chaos of the city gate, and the city gate was knocked open, shouting and killing everywhere. Countless Qin soldiers held up their swords and flocked in.

With the fall of the North Gate, the other three places were soon shaken. At this time, it was meaningless to defend the city again.

Fang Zan had no choice but to order the troops to shrink and attempt to use the county government as the last place to resist, because the Qin army on the north gate would soon come to kill.

However, as soon as the troops were reduced, all four gates were broken, the Qin army attacked the city in full swing and began to fight the Ling army in the streets and alleys.

There were shouts of killing and screams, as well as the collision of weapons everywhere on all streets. In this situation, the people in the city dared not go out, and the doors and windows were already closed.

The chaos lasted for a whole night, until the morning of the next day after the city was broken, the Qin army from four sides met in Jingyang County.

At this moment, the place was surrounded by a large army, and Fang Zan's nine thousand troops were only less than two thousand left, gathering the entire county magistrate's mansion, each guarding the door with a nervous look on his face.

Soon, Ning Zhan walked over quickly and did not order an attack. Instead, he shouted loudly outside the Yu Mansion:

"Fang Zan! You are also a hero! When you understand the current situation, don't make fearless sacrifices!"
