Hearing what he said, Xiao Yuan didn't mince words and said directly: "Please also ask Mr. Liu to help our department collect kerosene from people's homes."

"Oh? The general plans to attack with fire?" Liu Yuzhi asked.

"Be prepared." Xiao Yuan smiled.

Liu Yuzhi nodded and did not ask any more questions, but said: "Well, collecting kerosene is not difficult. General, you can rest assured that this county will do its best to help."

"So, thank you so much, Mr. Liu." Xiao Yuan said quickly. He was undoubtedly very happy that the county magistrate was willing to help. When dealing with the people, Liu Yuzhi was certainly more suitable than the army.

As he spoke, he also stood up and said again: "Then I won't bother Mr. Liu."

"What? The general is leaving now?" Liu Yuzhi quickly put down his tea cup and stood up.

"There are still some defense matters to be taken care of in the army. Please forgive me, Mr. Liu, so I won't be able to stay for a long time." Xiao Yuan said with a smile, and at the same time he cupped his hands to indicate that he was leaving.

Seeing that he insisted, Liu Yuzhi no longer tried to persuade him to stay, but said: "Okay, then I will send him off to the general."

"Hey? Mr. Liu, stay here..."

When the two met for the first time, Liu Yuzhi behaved very politely, and Xiao Yuan's first impression of him was also very good.

And according to Xiao Yuan's inquiries, this county magistrate has a very good reputation among local people.

This man was a literati, but he was extremely efficient in his work. In just two days, he sent someone to deliver a jar of kerosene to the city defense office.

Everything was ready, and a few days later, the ghost army came to the city.

At this moment, Xiao Yuan and Peng Shuang were also at the top of the city. Looking out, on the plain outside the city gate, the ghost army was overwhelming, with no end as far as the eye could see.

Looking at the ghost army that was shaking the world, Peng Shuang took a slight breath: "I didn't expect that the ghost army really came."

"This should be the main force of the ghost army." Xiao Yuan said that even though he had experienced life and death, facing so many enemy troops, if he didn't have any waves in his heart, it would definitely be a lie.

At this moment, the camp of the ghost army also changed. Under the order of his commander, a general of the ghost army rode out and came to the gate of the city single-handedly. Then he reined in the reins within a stone's throw, and amidst the neighing of the war horse,

, he also raised the sword in his hand and shouted arrogantly:

"People in the city, listen! You little thieves from the Central Plains! Who dares to fight with me!"

"If you don't dare to fight, quickly attack the city and surrender! Otherwise, when the city is destroyed, no chickens or dogs will be left behind!"

He spoke in the language of the ghost tribe, which Xiao Yuan could not understand, but anyone could tell that it was the enemy general who was shouting.

Seeing that no one responded, the ghost general couldn't help but smile, and began to ride his horse back and forth under the city, shouting something at the same time.

On the plain outside the pass, countless ghost soldiers began to wave their weapons and scream strangely.

The Central Plains soldiers on the city craned their necks to watch. This situation was very depressing for morale. Before Xiao Yuan could speak, Peng Shuang had already cupped his fists and said: "General, the enemy general is arrogant, I will kill him!"

Xiao Yuan glanced at him, and after thinking about it for a moment, he immediately said: "Okay! Kill the enemy general quickly to enhance the prestige of our army!"

"Yes!" Peng Shuang responded in a shocked voice, and then walked quickly towards the city.

After arriving at the city gate, he got on his horse, raised the long knife in his hand, and said directly to the soldiers at the city gate: "Open the city gate!"

With a squeaking sound, the tall city gate slowly opened a gap, and Peng Shuang rode out.

"Drive -" His weapon is a broadsword as tall as a person, with an extremely long blade. With his left hand holding the reins and his right hand holding the sword, the war horse is galloping, mixed with an unparalleled sharp momentum.

"Bang the drum!" Xiao Yuan waved his hand.

At the same time, drums were beating loudly in the city.

The ghost general's shouts suddenly stopped, and he stared at Peng Shuang, who was charging towards him with wide eyes.

It seemed that there was a kind of power of a tiger general. At this time, the horse under the ghost general's crotch also began to become restless and neighed lowly.

The ghost general couldn't help but look down at the horse. When he looked up again, Peng Shuang had already rushed forward. Without saying a word, he rounded the sword in his hand, struck it hard, and brought it down on the head.

The wind is blowing!

The ghost general was shocked, subconsciously raised his weapon and caught the blow forcefully.

But immediately, he regretted it. With the piercing clang of gold and iron, his arms went numb for a while, and his mouth trembled. He could hardly hold the weapon, and his shoulders instantly dropped.

collapse.

I didn't expect that the other party's strength was so amazing!

There was a look of deep fear in the ghost general's eyes. He gritted his teeth, stared, and began to push upward, trying to deflect Peng Shuang's sword.

But before he could bounce away, Peng Shuang suddenly changed his stance, mishandled his hands, and swiped the long knife directly towards his neck.

There was a pop and blood sprayed out.

The ghost general's head was directly thrown away by the knife, and then fell to the ground!

After killing the enemy general, Peng Shuang immediately pointed his sword at the ghost army camp and shouted in a loud voice: "Rat! How dare you invade our Central Plains!"

"Okay! Okay!" At this time, the Central Plains soldiers on the city also began to cheer for Peng Shuang with their halberds in their hands.

On the other hand, the ghost army camp also suddenly became quiet from the wailing and strange noises at the beginning.

The morale of his side was greatly boosted, and Xiao Yuan looked at Peng Shuang at the bottom of the city with clear eyes.

Before, during the night attack on Moon City, he had seen that Peng Shuang was very skilled, but he didn't expect that he was such a tough general.

The ghost army sent out a general to make a noise, but unexpectedly he was killed in an instant. After that, no general was sent out. Instead, the entire camp began to change, and a high-pitched horn sounded.

Xiao Yuan knew that the ghost army was about to attack the city, so he immediately leaned out half of his body and shouted to Peng Shuang at the bottom of the city: "Peng Shuang, come back quickly!"

Peng Shuang was not a fool. The other party wanted to attack the city with all his troops. How could he stay outside alone? After hearing this, he immediately turned his horse's head and returned to the city.

The city gate was closed again, the ghost army also began to charge, and the defensive battle of Liucheng officially began.

Outside the city gate, dust was flying, and countless ghost soldiers swarmed in like a tide.

Looking down from above, one can see ladders being carried by people and moving quickly.

In just a moment, the ghost army rushed to the shooting distance. At the same time, Xiao Yuan also raised his right hand, and then waved forward fiercely: "Fire the arrow!"

Following his order, the soldiers on the city loaded their bows with arrows and started shooting randomly at the bottom of the city.

For a moment, there was a hail of arrows, and from time to time a ghost army was shot to the ground.

Aerial ladders were also set up all over the city gate, and the ghost soldiers began to climb up crazily.

The Central Plains soldiers on the city also began to form groups of several people, carrying stones and rolling logs and throwing them down to the city.
