Chapter 700 Are You Scared? Then I Am Not Afraid! Why Don’t You Play the Piano Anymore? Don’t You Like It?

Li Piao looked at Sima Shang in astonishment: "What?"

Now, all the generals under Sima Shang think that Li Mu is wrong and Sima Shang is right.

But Sima Shang himself said that Li Mu is right?

Li Piao couldn't help but say: "Captain, all the first-line soldiers of our army have been trapped in Licheng."

"The wide-open gate of Licheng is simply a big mouth, waiting to devour the blood and flesh of our soldiers!"

"The ambush of the Qin army is so obvious, I think the commander made a wrong judgment!"

How scary is the suddenly closed gate!

With a bang, two thousand first-line warriors are gone!

If this is not an ambush, then what is an ambush!

Sima Shang repeated in a more determined tone: "The commander is right!"

"If Licheng had not closed the gates just now, but let our army rush into the city, I would still doubt whether Licheng really had a heavy ambush."

"But I only sent 2,000 brave warriors into the city, and Licheng was impatient to close the gates and surrounded and killed the 2,000 brave warriors."

"There were no ambushes on both sides of the foothills and behind the pass to block our retreat."

"This shows that the 2,000 brave warriors were enough to provoke the emotions of the Licheng defenders and interfere with the deployment of the Licheng defenders. Licheng also did not have more troops to surround our army."

"The defenders of Licheng are showing their cowardice!"

Ge Ping believed that it would be difficult for the defenders in the city to quickly annihilate the Zhao army's vanguard, which would expose the fact that the number of Licheng defenders was small.

If the Zhao army escaped from the city first, the true situation of Licheng would be exposed to Sima Shang, which would lead to Sima Shang's knowledge of Licheng's true situation and the failure of the plan.

So Ge Ping decided to close the city gates, cut off the vision inside and outside the city, and let Sima Shang remain suspicious.

But Ge Ping did not expect that the number of defenders in the city was indeed one of the factors Sima Shang considered, but not the only one.

The place where troops can be stored is not only the city, but also the mountains and plains outside the city!

Even if Sima Shang saw that the defenders in the city were slowly annihilating the Zhao army's first climbers, Sima Shang would only suspect that the Qin army's ambush was located in the mountains and forests, and then sent more first climbers to test and sent more scouts to explore the surroundings, but he did not dare to make a direct judgment.

But Ge Ping's closing of the city gates made Sima Shang immediately determine that Ying Chengjiao was not here!

If Ying Chengjiao was really here, these two thousand Zhao army pioneers would not be worthy of Ying Chengjiao's attention. Only Sima Shang's army was worthy of Ying Chengjiao's war.

When the gate of Licheng was closed, it would not only be the two thousand Zhao army pioneers that were locked in, but also the retreat of Sima Shang's 80,000 troops and horses!

But the fact is that only the two thousand pioneers were locked in Licheng, and Sima Shang's troops were safe and sound.

The suddenly closed gate made Li Piao and other generals see the danger inside Licheng, but Sima Shang saw that the defenders of Licheng were strong on the outside but weak on the inside!

Are you afraid of Licheng?

Then I am not afraid!

Seeing that the generals were still a little hesitant, Sima Shang raised his voice a little: "Listen!"

Li Piao and others listened with confused eyes.

After a few breaths, Sima Shang continued: "The shouts and screams in the city have not ended yet!"

"The warriors who will be sent to climb the city are all servants and criminals. If these warriors are not restrained by military law officers, they will never fight to the death."

"Before the warriors who will climb the city entered the city, I had ordered the military law officers to withdraw from the army."

"But until now, until now when the city gates are closed, our warriors who will climb the city are still fighting."

"This shows that our warriors who will climb the city have not only not fallen into despair, but also have the hope of capturing the city. They also believe that our army will win more than lose in this battle, so they have not surrendered to the enemy!"

Hearing this, Li Piao and others were suddenly enlightened.

Compared to those who stood outside the city, the warriors who will climb the city in the first place obviously know the strengths and weaknesses of Licheng better.

Since even the warriors who will climb the city in the first place are still holding on, it means that the ambush troops in Licheng will never be in an overwhelming advantage!

The warriors who will climb the city in the first place still have the hope of winning!

Licheng has closed the gates to beat the dog, but it still can't kill the dog with one stick. How soft must Licheng's stick be!

Li Piao excitedly bowed and said: "What the captain said is very true. I will be the vanguard!"

Beside Li Piao, other generals also shouted excitedly:

"I will be the vanguard!"

Sima Shang laughed heartily: "If all the generals obey my orders, I will have nothing to worry about!"

"Order!"

"Crossbowmen go forward and shoot arrows at Licheng to suppress it."

"Send a thousand brave warriors to approach the enemy city with ladders!"

"Armored soldiers go forward, the whole army prepares for battle!"

More than 70,000 Zhao soldiers shouted excitedly: "Yes!"

The drums rumbled, urging all Zhao soldiers to advance bravely!

The crossbows were like thunderbolts, raising a sky of crossbow arrows to hit Licheng!

Ge Ping's pupils suddenly condensed, and he reached out and grabbed Ge Ying without hesitation, and ran into the city gate tower.

"County soldiers, climb the city!"

"Crossbowmen, line up, shoot arrows at the enemy outside the city!"

"Be sure to stop the first climbers from the city from approaching the city wall!"

"Order the whole army, defend Licheng to the death!"

Under Ge Ping's command, two thousand county soldiers quickly climbed the city wall, using crossbows and city defense equipment to resist the Zhao army's footsteps.

More county soldiers and guards lined up in the city, fighting a close battle with the two thousand Zhao army's first climbers!

Li Qiong, who was shot in the left arm, faced Ge Ping and said with a breath: "County magistrate, we can't hold it anymore!"

"Abandon the city and run away!"

Ge Ping grabbed a large square shield from his servant and threw it to Ge Ying. He then handed Ge Ying over to his close associates for protection. Finally, he took the long bow from the servant and shouted solemnly: "You must defend it even if you can't defend it!"

"Calculating the time, Lord Chang'an will arrive at Licheng within five days."

"Our department only needs to hold on for five days to complete Lord Chang'an's order."

"If our troops retreat now, all the risks we have taken before will be meaningless!"

While talking, Ge Ping drew his bow and arrow, and shot and killed a Zhao Jun Xianden who climbed up the ladder with one arrow.

Li Qiong looked down at the more than 70,000 Zhao troops arrayed outside the city waiting to fight, and then looked at the more than 1,000 Zhao troops who were still holding on tenaciously in Li City. He asked bitterly: "You have to defend even if you can't hold it?"

"That's easy to say!"

"Chang'an Lord's plan has failed."

"How to defend a situation that cannot be defended!"

Although Licheng had terrain advantages, the ten-fold difference in military strength could not be smoothed out by the geographical advantages.

More importantly, Ying Chengyu's plan was shattered!

Next, Licheng can only resist the Zhao army's offensive, and there will be no luck at all!

Ge Ping fired another arrow, killing a Zhao soldier, and then said sternly: "I will guard the city wall."

"The Prime Minister of Li County and the Lieutenant of Xun County led their troops to quickly kill the Zhao army in the city first."

"Then quickly come to reinforce me."

"This battle is dangerous, but our army has no chance of winning."

"Guard as long as you can!"

"If you shake the morale of the army again, I will kill you first!"

The excitement of life and death revealed Ge Ping's ferocious nature just a few years after landing.

After giving Li Qiong a hard look, Ge Ping shot and killed five Zhao soldiers one after another, then picked up a big knife in his backhand and roared angrily: "Brothers!"

"So what if there are officers and soldiers coming to attack!"

"This place is your and my brother's territory!"

"Follow me, shoulder to shoulder!"

While shouting, Ge Ping rushed directly to the city wall and chopped off the head of a Zhao Jun with one knife!

As the blood spurted out, Ge Ping roared angrily: "This battle will be won!"

Thousands of Qin troops saw this and their morale was boosted. They shouted in unison: "We must win!"

Outside the city wall, the corners of Sima Shang's mouth turned up slightly: "Why doesn't Magistrate Ge stop listening to the piano?"

"Don't you like it?"

Sima Shang was surrounded by all the Zhao generals who cheered and laughed: "Hahaha~ Magistrate Ge, let me continue to let you play the piano. Magistrate Ge is not in the mood to listen, but I am in a good mood now!"

"He is just a vulgar bandit, but he imitates a gentleman and burns incense and listens to the piano. He is really imitating others and only increasing his laughter!"

"Magistrate Ge, why rush to kill with a knife? The more important thing is to go back and listen to the piano as soon as possible! Hahaha~~~"

The ruthless ridicule of the enemy revitalized the morale that had fallen due to Sima Shang's change of orders from morning to night.

Seeing this, Sima Shang's smile became more obvious and he shouted loudly:

"make!"

"Drum roll!"

"Two to five hundred Lord Li Piao, two to five hundred Lord... eight troops, attack the city!"

The situation of fighting a wolf with a bamboo pole is over!

Sima Shang didn't even try anymore, or used cannon fodder to consume Li City's defense weapons.

Instead, he took advantage of the fact that two thousand Zhao troops were still in the city and sent elite troops to charge into the city without hesitation. He was bound to capture Li City as soon as possible!

Licheng maintained a strange peace for four days.

But today, it suddenly turned into a fierce siege!

Under the command of Sima Shang, Zhao soldiers rushed to the city head without fear of arrows. After suffering heavy losses and running out of physical strength, they quickly retreated and replaced Zhao soldiers with new ones to continue fighting.

No matter day or night, regardless of casualties.

Zhao Jun is attacking fiercely in a decisive battle every moment, taking full advantage of Zhao Jun's military strength!

On the other hand, the Qin army not only had to deal with the advance attack of the Zhao army in the city, but also had to deal with the attack of the elite Zhao army outside the city. They were not allowed to rest at all!

The high-intensity offensive and defensive battle only lasted for twenty-six hours, and Licheng was already on the verge of collapse.

As the Zhao army occupied more and more space on the city wall of Li City, more and more Zhao soldiers were able to climb the city wall, thus completely destroying the Qin army's geographical advantage!

The Qin army is no matter how difficult it is to resist.

Li Piao looked at the exhausted and sleepy Qin soldiers around him, and at the flags of the Qin generals who had retreated from the city wall, and shouted excitedly: "Prisoners, follow our generals and charge to kill!"

"Beat the enemy general in formation!"

Outside the city, Zhao Jun's victory drum is already beating!

In the city, Li Piao and several other Zhao Jun generals led the Zhao Jun elites to rush forward bravely, cutting through the Qin Jun's already exhausted defense line like a broken bamboo!

After stabbing another Qin soldier, Li Piao, covered in blood, looked at Ge Ping and others who had fled near the west gate of Licheng, and shouted anxiously: "The power to kill the general is right in front of you."

"How can you not take it?"

"Quick! Faster! The whole army speeds up!"

With Li Piao taking the lead and continuous encouragement, Li Piao's troops gradually passed the friendly forces and got closer and closer to Ge Ping's troops.

But Ge Ping also ordered the defenders to open the west gate of Licheng!

Li Piao hissed more and more anxiously: "Paozes, give this to me..."

The encouragement and shouts from behind could hardly be heard. Li Piao froze on the spot, his eyes looking towards the west city gate full of disbelief.

Just because after the west gate of Licheng was opened, what was revealed was not the Xingdao for the Qin army to escape and the Zhao army to pursue.

But the Qin army in armor could not be seen to the end.

At the forefront of all the Qin troops, a young general holding a halberd and wearing a pure white cloak was riding a tall horse.

Lead the charge!
