Chapter 1756 What do you do?

Under the new city.

The Xincheng soldiers who had defected before were looking at the Xincheng in the distance, and the defenders on the Xincheng tower were also looking at them.

No one thought that a few days ago, they were companions fighting side by side.

Today they have become enemies of life and death.

No one on either side spoke.

Both parties actually understand in their hearts that they each have their own helplessness.

One side was forced to attack the city, while the other side was desperately defending the city.

The defecting general looked at the tall new city wall in front of him. For a moment, he regretted his original decision.

But it was only for a moment.

He returned to reality. ??

Tuo She sent 500 soldiers to supervise the battle behind them. If they dared to retreat, a severe blow would be waiting for them.

At this point, they have no way out.

Only by capturing the new city in front of them can they have a chance of survival.

"Charge!" The defected Silla general raised his weapon and shouted.

The command flag officer behind him waved the command flag. Whether he wanted to or not, when he saw the command flag waving, the signal to attack was given.

The Silla soldiers who had defected with them were now waving their swords and rushing towards the new city wall.

The huge siege vehicle moved forward slowly, and the ladder, which was half a man taller than the new city tower, was carried over by defecting Silla soldiers.

War drums rumbled, and the army outside the city instantly surged towards the new city like a tide.

"Archer!" Cheng Chumo shouted loudly.

The archers on the tower bent their bows and nocked arrows, but did not release the arrows immediately.

They were waiting for the rebels downstairs to get closer.

At the same time, many people also secretly hope that these people will not rush forward, and they do not want their hands to be stained with the blood of their compatriots.

But the fact is that the rebels did not stop at all, and their speed was reversed.

And become faster.

Madness rushed towards them.

In just a few breaths, he had already rushed more than twenty feet, and was about to enter the best shooting range.

Cheng Chumo had a dark face. Attacking would mean that these people were completely separated from Silla.

Cheng Chumo would never be lenient when dealing with traitors.

Regardless of whether they are voluntary or forced, there is always only one word in response to them, "kill".

"Fire arrows!" Cheng Chu silently gave the order, and the Xincheng soldiers who had been preparing for the attack instantly rained down arrows.

Arrows were flying all over the sky towards the rebels who were rushing towards them.

But in an instant, groups of rebels fell to the ground, and many rebels were directly stabbed into hedgehogs.

Under the rain of arrows, the rebels' attempts to dodge were almost useless.

What's more, they don't even have a shield, so how can they guard against this rain of arrows.

More than a thousand people died tragically at the hands of the New City defenders on the tower, and the leading general was too frightened to take a step forward.

But he knew that the soldiers did not dare to move forward, but they could not retreat.

Only the soldiers who advance will die. If the soldiers retreat, the supervising team behind them will never let them go.

"Keep going, don't be afraid, they don't have that many arrows." The rebel general shouted loudly.

But the soldiers were still frightened by the ruthless rain of arrows just now and did not dare to move forward.

Some people even hesitated, trying to escape from the battlefield.

"Looking for death!" Seeing this, the rebel general slapped his horse and chased after him. Before the soldier who wanted to escape took two steps, his head was chopped off by the rebel general with a knife.

The headless body fell to the ground. The other soldiers who had originally thought of escaping, took the opportunity to

Price didn't dare to move.

"Whoever dares to run away will be punished," the rebel general said loudly.

The expressions of all the soldiers were changing, but no one dared to say no.

"Commander Yeon Gaesumun said that as long as you capture the new city, you will have whatever you want." Seeing that everyone was frightened, the rebel general drew another piece of cake.

At this point, what can the soldiers do?

To charge is to die, and to retreat is also to die. They can only choose to believe in their good luck and that they can capture the new city during the charge.

…

The battle lasted until noon. Cheng Chumo felt exhausted all over and seemed to have no strength at all.

"Cheng Er, what's wrong with you?" Qin Huaiyu helped Cheng Chumo sit down.

Cheng Chumo shook his head and said he was fine.

But the words could not come out.

Qin Huaiyu hurriedly took off his water bag and handed it to Cheng Chumo.

After drinking water for a while, Cheng Chumo slowly recovered.

After directing for a whole morning, Cheng Chumo's voice became dry and hoarse.

But he didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, for fear that the rebels would attack the city due to such a slight negligence.

Fortunately, the soldiers who defended the city were brave and repelled five or six rebel attacks.

At this moment, both sides stopped fighting, and the rebels also retreated.

And outside the city, there were thousands of corpses.

Most of them were left by the rebels, and only a few were the defenders of the new city who were shot by arrows.

At this moment, the corpse collection teams from both sides were collecting the corpses of their companions below.

No one spoke.

Cheng Chumo looked outside the city, feeling deeply helpless.

This is only the enemy's first attack on the city, and it is not Yeon Gaesumun's local army, but some local troops.

The former Xincheng army who defected.

Even so, the pressure on the soldiers defending the city was also great.

They were all thinking that it was already so difficult to defend the city in the first wave, but what about the rest?

"Everyone's mood doesn't seem to be very good." Cheng Chumo looked around at everyone and said slowly.

"Everyone feels that they can't last more than a few rounds." Zhang Baogao whispered, handing Cheng Chumo a piece of forced food, and gave another piece to Qin Huaiyu.

Zhang Baogao also felt hesitant in his heart.

If this battle continues like this, New City will be captured sooner or later.

All of them will die here.

"And you?"

"How long do you think we can last?" Cheng Chu asked Zhang Baogao with a silent smile.

Zhang Baogao shook his head hesitantly and said slowly: "I don't know either, but I will definitely defend here. As long as I am still alive, they will not be able to enter the city."

Zhang Baogao's attitude surprised both Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu.

If those Silla soldiers who had defected had the courage of Zhang Baogao, Yeon Gaesumun would not have thought of taking the new city easily.

Unfortunately……

"Have a good rest, you won't have time to rest later!" Cheng Chumo patted Zhang Baogao's shoulder, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

…

"Stop, what do you do?"

In the early morning, Zhao Chen finally arrived outside the new city.

However, he did not come to the north gate of the new city, but went around in a circle and came to the south gate.

There was a fighting going on at the north gate, and Zhao Chen could only enter the city from here.

But he was stopped by the generals guarding the city.

The arrows on the tower were also staring at him.

When fighting in a new city, it is natural that strangers should not be allowed to approach the city walls casually, let alone enter the city.
