Chapter 1760 Destroy the opponent’s morale

The little house fell into a long silence.

Cheng Chumo lowered his head. Since Zhao Chen said that one hundred thousand Tang Dynasty border troops would come to support them in half a month, he felt that Zhao Chen was deceiving the Xincheng soldiers.

But who knew that Zhao Chen would even forge an imperial edict for the sake of him and Qin Huaiyu.

Just to save their lives.

Zhao Chen did this just because he regarded himself and Qin Huaiyu as brothers.

Thinking of this, Cheng Chumo felt extremely ashamed. Zhao Chen treated him sincerely, but he...

"Zhao Da, with you as my brother, I really have no regrets in this life." Qin Huaiyu stood up and squeezed Zhao Chen's palm tightly.

Huge force pinched Zhao Chen, and even Zhao Chen felt pain, but Zhao Chen did not break free.

Instead, he allowed Qin Huaiyu to vent his inner emotions.

"Zhao Da, we are sorry for you." Cheng Chumo glanced to the side, not daring to look into Zhao Chen's eyes.

He didn't expect that Zhao Chen would dare to mobilize the border troops at the risk of ruining his future just for the sake of these two useless guys.

"Okay, if you say this again, I won't be happy!" Zhao Chen patted Qin Huaiyu's hand and motioned for him to let go.

Then he stood up, pulled Cheng Chumo up from the ground, and patted him on the shoulder: "Tell me something like this?"

"Back in Chang'an and on the Goguryeo battlefield, you helped me no less, and you were no less punished by your elders."

"So stop talking nonsense."

"If you're really grateful, make me a bowl of noodles now, I'm going to starve to death."

"You..." Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu were both amused by Zhao Chen's last foul language.

Rubbing his red eyes, Cheng Chumo ran out of the small room and came back not long after with a bowl of steaming noodles.

The noodles were cooked to a pulp, and Cheng Chumo's face was still stained with ashes from the pot bottom. It was obvious that he had cooked the noodles himself.

"Try it." Cheng Chumo looked at Zhao expectantly.

Chen.

But Zhao Chen wasn't looking forward to Cheng Chumo's bowl of noodles at all.

As expected, the taste is very ordinary.

If he wasn't really hungry, he would have just smashed the bowl into Cheng Chumo's head.

"Put less salt next time." Zhao Chen burped and threw his chopsticks on the table.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu immediately started laughing.

…

Not long after, Yeon Gaesumun's attack began again.

The siege troops in the morning had been replenished, but they were still those Silla soldiers who had surrendered.

However, they encountered stronger resistance than in the morning.

For a whole afternoon, they didn't even get close to the New City wall.

No one knew why the soldiers defending the new city suddenly became so brave. They were not at the same level as they were in the morning.

After fighting all afternoon, they lost nearly 5,000 people, but they didn't even get close to the city gate.

This made Yeon Gaesumun very angry.

He felt that the attacking Silla generals did not want to contribute, so the results of the offensive in the morning were not as good as that of the previous morning.

So he returned to the camp and directly ordered the commander to kill the Silla general who was leading the army.

Goguryeo camp.

Yeon Gaesumun had a gloomy face, and the head of the Silla general who led the army in the afternoon was casually thrown to the ground.

The generals standing nearby didn't dare to breathe loudly.

Especially those Silla generals who had not yet gone into battle had their heads buried extremely low at this moment, not daring to let Yeon Gaesumun notice them.

Although the losses today are all the surrendered troops of Silla, which did not cause any damage to his headquarters in Goguryeo, even if the troops surrendered and the generals surrendered, the loss would be

Too much will also affect the overall morale of his army.

This is bad!

"I say it one last time, since you have chosen to surrender to me, Goguryeo, you must obey my command."

"Whoever dares to be lazy and slippery on the battlefield from now on, don't blame me for turning against you."

"That's what this bastard will do." Yeon Gaesumun said loudly, with an angry look on his face.

No one dared to answer, and they wanted to shrink their heads into their crotches.

"Commander, today's losses are a bit heavy and morale has dropped a lot. Why don't you let me challenge outside the city tomorrow and also dampen the opponent's morale." Tuoshe walked out and said to Yuengai Suwen.

Yeon Gaesumun glanced at Tuoshe and felt that what he said made sense.

I have suffered a lot of losses today, and my morale has also been hit. It is better to let Tuo She go challenge tomorrow and humiliate the opponent severely.

A blow would damage the morale of the opponent. Anyway, the opponent is a bunch of cowardly turtles who don't dare to fight at all.

"If all the generals under my command are as talented as General Camel Shooter, I will be so annoyed by the tricks I use."

"Camel shot." Yuan Gai Sun Wen shouted.

Tuoshe bowed slightly.

"I order you to take five hundred soldiers to challenge tomorrow morning. If anyone comes to fight on the opposite side, you must kill them and slaughter their corpses to make those turtles feel fear in their hearts."

"If no one goes to fight, let the soldiers keep insulting them, scolding their ancestors for eighteen generations, and see how long they can hold on." Yeon Gaesumun gave the order to Tuoshe.

"Yes." Tuo She accepted the order and then retreated to his position.

Yeon Gaesumun seemed to feel that it would be a bit unsatisfactory to just let Tuoshe lead the people tomorrow, so he looked at the Silla generals whose heads had shrunk.

"You guys." Yeon Gaesumun pointed at

Those surrendered generals: "Go with General Tuo She tomorrow and learn how General Tuo She humiliated the defenders."

"Those people are just trash who don't dare to fight. You should be better than trash."

The faces of the surrendered generals were pale. Although they were extremely unhappy, given their current status, how could they dare to say no?

They all nodded and agreed.

…

In the evening, Qin Sanpao and the others finally arrived at Xincheng.

Cheng Chumo sent someone to pick them up into the city. When they saw Wu Xu again, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu were both surprised.

They all know why Wu Xu left Chang'an in the first place.

But unexpectedly, Wu Xu and Zhao Chen came together again.

But they didn't care anymore. Zhao Chen even dared to forge an imperial edict, so he was still afraid of being with Wu Xu?

"Wuxu, you are going around in circles and getting together with Zhao Da again. You will suddenly bring out a little guy for us at some point." Cheng Chumo teased Wu Xu.

Zhao Chen glared at Cheng Chumo and was about to speak when Wu Xu said dissatisfiedly: "Cheng Chumo, what do you mean we got together? Don't say anything if you don't know how to speak."

"This is what we call mutual love..."

"Ahem... Wu..."

"Haha, yes, yes, we are in love. I said the wrong thing. I will drink tea instead of wine as punishment." Cheng Chumo was so happy that his mouth opened with a smile.

Wu Xu was obviously not a light-hearted girl, but Cheng Chumo was looking forward to seeing Zhao Chen cringe in front of Wu Xu.

"Oh, actually it's not mutual love, it's just that I have unrequited love."

"But unlike you, Cheng Chumo, there is no girl who likes you. Poor, so pitiful!" Wu Xu said quietly, and Cheng Chumo felt as if he had eaten a fly.
