Chapter 1754 The horse is dying

"What?"

"I went to persuade Ai to surrender in the past, but were all shot dead by the defenders of the new city?"

"More than five hundred people?"

The news that Caigu and others died under the new city quickly spread to the Goguryeo camp.

It also reached the ears of those Silla soldiers who surrendered.

"Yes, they completely regard us as enemies now!"

"Made, I thought before that when we really wanted to fight, I would only work but not put any effort into it, but I didn't expect them to be so ruthless."

"Fortunately, it was the boy from Caogu who went there this time, otherwise one of us would have died." ??

"No, those bastards in Xincheng must have been brainwashed by that Cheng Chumo."

“Yes, for an outsider to interfere in my Silla’s affairs like this, he should have been killed at the beginning.”

"If we really face each other next time, you must not hold back, otherwise..."

"Whoever wants to hold back is a fool."

In the camp of the surrendered army, a group of Silla surrendered generals were excited and denounced the Silla soldiers who were still defending the city.

"The commander-in-chief has ordered that all generals go to the big tent to discuss matters." Yeon Gaesumun's soldiers came here and received Yeon Gaesumun's order.

Not daring to delay, everyone trotted all the way to Yeon Gaesumun's tent.

When they arrived here, Yeon Gaesomun and most of his generals had already arrived.

No one dared to move forward and could only stand at the back. Some people even had their butts exposed outside the big tent, leaving only one head inside.

"The big tent is a bit crowded, so please make peace with it." Yeon Gaesumun stood up and said to everyone.

No one dared to speak, just waiting for Yeon Gaesumun to continue.

"What happened today makes me very sad. I did not expect that the defenders of the new city had no regard for the friendship between their compatriots in the past and did not hesitate to shoot General Caigu and his more than 500 warriors with arrows."

"Originally I wanted to ask General Takugu to persuade the people in the city to find a good way out, but I didn't expect..." Yuengai Suwen sighed, with a look of regret on his face.

\u003c

br\u003e When all the generals heard this, an unknown fire rose in their hearts.

Caigu only went to persuade them to surrender, but those people in the city actually killed them directly!

I really don’t miss the slightest friendship from the past.

"Generals, since the soldiers in Xincheng are unwilling to negotiate peace with us, I plan to attack the city tomorrow."

"However, my soldiers have traveled long distances, and many of them are not accustomed to the climate. Now they can't even hold weapons."

"So in tomorrow's siege, I hope that the generals will lead the troops." Yeon Gaesumun looked at the surrendered generals.

Hearing this, the hearts of the surrendering generals all froze.

"Commander, I..."

"Huh?" Tuo She's eyes widened, and the general who was just about to plead with Yuan Gaisu Wen instantly withered.

You may not die if you attack the city, but if you dare to confront Yeon Gaesumun here, he will die now.

The other surrendering generals also understood their current situation. They could only smile and nodded and said: "Don't worry, Commander, we will definitely capture the new city."

"Okay, when the new city is captured, you will be my heroes of Goguryeo, and I will definitely not forget you."

"Now, go get ready."

"Tuoshe, you come too." Yuan Gaisuwen said with a smile.

…

"General Cheng, shouldn't I order the arrows to be fired to kill them?"

"But there were indeed signs of siege in Caigu at that time."

On the city tower, the city guard general and Cheng Chumo explained.

He also knew now that his order to shoot Taogu and the others would definitely be exploited by Yeon Gaesumun.

Those who surrendered before will now be forced to attack the city together.

If it was before,

Those who surrender will most likely be useless at work, after all, everyone was fighting side by side not long ago.

But he ordered the killing of more than 500 people in Caigu, which was equivalent to telling the surrendering generals that he had long regarded them as mortal enemies.

If those Silla soldiers who surrendered were forced to attack the city, they probably wouldn't hold back.

In the end, wouldn't it just become a fight among their own people in Silla?

Cheng Chumo said nothing, there was no point in blaming him now.

If we really talk about responsibility, if Cheng Chumo could stay here or be aware of this, this situation would not have happened.

After all, my mind is not a scheming one.

If this matter were to be replaced by Zhao Chen, how could Yuan Gaisu Wen succeed.

Maybe he can defeat Yeon and Suwen's army instead.

However, Zhao Chen still has no news until now.

Perhaps, he would never see this last side.

"Alas!" Cheng Chumo sighed heavily.

At this moment, he almost accepted his fate.

Goguryeo's hundreds of thousands of troops, plus more than 60,000 people who surrendered, attacked a city with less than 50,000 people.

No matter how strong this city is, no matter how bloody the soldiers fight, it is impossible to hold it with such a huge disparity in strength.

What's more, the soldiers guarding the city have no morale at all.

"Let the soldiers be prepared. In this battle, everyone must be prepared to die in battle." After Cheng Chumo finished speaking, he waved the defenders to leave.

The city guarding general and Cheng Chumo deeply bowed their hands, and then slowly left the room.

In the room, Cheng Chumo also took out pen and paper.

Tomorrow Yeon Gaesumun will definitely attack the city with a large army, and he has no hope of being able to defend it.

Therefore, this final letter must be written.

Otherwise, it would be too cowardly to die without leaving a single word.

Cheng Chumo picked up the pen and was silent for a long time. He was in a daze and didn't know who he should write this final letter to.

After a long silence, Cheng Chumo slowly wrote his first sentence: "Brother Zhao Da, my brother Cheng Er pays my respects..."

…

"How much longer?" On the carriage, Zhao Chen suddenly woke up from his sleep.

In the past two days, the carriage has not stopped for a moment, and has been rushing towards the new city.

Two of the war horses died of exhaustion.

Finally, on the second night, we arrived fifty miles away from the new city.

Zhao Chen fell asleep on the carriage, but suddenly felt boundless loss coming from his heart, waking him up from his dream.

"Sir, we will probably arrive at the new city at dawn." Qin Sanpao said in a hoarse voice.

Qin Sanpao, who hadn't had much rest, was also feeling extremely uncomfortable.

There were blisters in the mouth.

"Faster." Zhao Chen urged.

"Okay." Qin Sanpao whipped the horse again.

But instead of moving forward, the horse fell directly to the ground.

The horse was foaming at the mouth, panting heavily, and his eyes were turning white. It was obvious that he would not survive long.

"Sir, the horse is dead!" Qin Sanpao jumped out of the carriage.

The other Xuanjia Army soldiers also jumped off their horses.

Zhao Chen stepped out of the carriage and glanced at the war horse lying on the ground. This was the third war horse that was exhausted, and they were only less than fifty miles away from the new city.

"Sanpao, take care of Wu Xu and follow him slowly. I'll go first." Zhao Chen took out the sword from the carriage and said to Qin Sanpao.

"Sir, this is too dangerous, and it's night and you don't know the way." Qin Sanpao hurriedly stopped Zhao Chen.

Although it was only fifty miles away, it was night and almost nothing could be seen.

Zhao Chen doesn't know the road here either. What if something happens on the road?
