Chapter 1769 Not attacked for a day

The densely packed Goguryeo army was like locusts, particularly conspicuous on the white snow.

North City Gate.

Cheng Chumo looked at the Goguryeo army in front of him expressionlessly.

The other side didn't even say hello, and the army started attacking the city directly.

Those who rushed to the front were the surrendered troops from before. ??

These people thought they could save their lives by leaving the new city.

Unexpectedly, Yeon Gaesumun directly treated them as cannon fodder. The siege team at the front would definitely die the worst.

But they couldn't retreat.

Behind him was the war team led by Yeon Gae So-moon himself. Anyone who dared to cower behind would be chopped down with the sword of the war team.

"Kill!" Xincheng's general rushed toward Xincheng with weapons in hand.

At this moment, he felt regretful.

If he had not chosen to defect to Silla, he would certainly not be in this situation today.

Even if he is defending the city, he may not die so quickly.

But now...

The Xincheng surrendered general led the troops and horses of his headquarters, and rain of arrows came towards his face.

The soldiers around him fell down one after another after being hit by arrows, and the smell of blood made him breathe quickly.

The war horse was hit by flying arrows and fell straight to the ground.

The Xincheng general was thrown off his horse, but he couldn't care about anything else at the moment and forced himself to continue rushing forward.

This is the most dangerous area, and the arrow rain from the opposite side is enough to turn all of them into hedgehogs.

And the soldiers behind him just rushed forward, enough to trample him to death.

"Charge!" the new city general yelled again, running towards the front with weapons in hand.

But before he could run ten feet, an arrow nailed his forehead.

Xinchengjiang stood still in place, and arrows like rain were densely nailed on his body.

There were almost no more than a hundred arrows falling from the front of the whole person.

Xinchengjiangjiang didn't respond at all for a few moments, but now he has changed.

As a corpse, it fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing their general dying in front of them, the Xincheng surrender troops did not dare to stay even half a step.

If they rush to the bottom of the city tower, they still have a chance to survive. If they go back, they will only be killed by Yeon Gaesumun's supervising team.

"Kill!" The fear of death made them forget the arrows in front of them.

The Xincheng surrender troops screamed and rushed towards the city wall.

With every breath taken, dozens of people fell to the hail of arrows.

Everyone was scared, but no one stopped.

Finally, after paying thousands of lives, the vanguard army finally approached the new city wall.

The ladders and siege engines also followed to the bottom of the city wall.

"Siege the city!"

"Come with me!" The Colonel pointed at the ladder of the city tower and was the first to climb up.

But before he could climb a few ladders, a huge boulder fell from above their heads.

It hit his right hand instantly.

My arms hurt, and I lost my grip and fell off the ladder.

Fortunately, there were corpses on the ground, which only hurt a little. But before he could get up, countless stones were thrown from the tower.

The commander-in-chief had no time to dodge, and a huge boulder hit him directly on the head.

"ah--"

He only had time to scream, and the captain's brain exploded and he died miserably at the gate.

And his scream didn't attract anyone's attention at all.

Here, people are dying all the time.

Under the tower of the north gate of Xincheng, Xincheng rebels continued to die tragically, and Xincheng soldiers guarding the city were shot by arrows and fell from the tower screaming.

In just an hour, the corpses on the new city tower were piled up layer after layer.

Yeon Gaesumun looked ahead and saw that the first batch of charging New City soldiers were almost dead, so he immediately looked at the other New City soldiers next to him.

"You, lead the people and continue to attack the city!" Yuengai Suwen said with a cold face.

"Yes..." The general's voice trembled, but this did not change his fate.

If he could do it all over again, he vowed that he would never be this traitor.

With the same defecting soldiers under him, this surrendered general also rushed to follow in the footsteps of the previous generals.

Countless wine jars were thrown from the city tower and fell heavily on the city wall.

Drinks spurted onto the bodies on the ground and torches were thrown down.

The fierce flames instantly engulfed the bodies on the ground. ??

Even the siege ladders and siege engines were set on fire.

Yeon Gaesumun looked at the fire in the distance with a terrifying look.

From early morning until dusk, the siege at the North City Gate never stopped.

There were at least six to seven thousand dead Xincheng troops, but even so, not one of them even climbed onto the walls of Xincheng.

Although he had expected such a result, Yeon Gaesowun still felt irritable in his heart.

The new city defender's will to resist was too strong, which would cost him a lot of troops.

This is definitely not what Yeon Gaesowon wants to see.

"Withdraw your troops!" Yeon Gaesumun knew that it was impossible to capture the new city in one day.

At this moment, the siege troops are short of men and horses, and the defenders on the opposite side can rotate the defenders in a short period of time.

This is not good for Yeon Gae Su Wen Rae.

The golden sound sounded, and the Xincheng Jiangjun, who had been exhausted for a long time, ignited the hope of survival.

They evacuated from the new city like a tide.

Only countless corpses were left, stacked outside the new city.

…

On the tower of the north gate of the new city, Cheng

Chu Mo collapsed on the ground and breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw Yeon Gaesumun's army evacuating.

Today's attack was much more violent than the previous one.

The other side came to attack the city without any regard for casualties, which made Cheng Chumo and the other defenders very passive.

Fortunately, the soldiers defending the city were brave enough and the defense equipment was sufficient.

He didn't let an enemy rush up to the tower.

"Count the casualties and replenish the defense equipment." Cheng Chumo left only two requests and dragged his tired body back to the small house in the city tower.

He didn't dare to go back to the city to rest. No one knew when Yeon Gaesumun would attack the city next.

Soon, casualty statistics were tallied.

General Xincheng came to Cheng Chumo excitedly: "General Cheng, we lost two thousand people today, and the enemy suffered at least eight thousand casualties. This is a great victory."

"Where are the other city gates?" Cheng Chu remained silent.

Two thousand versus eight thousand, although it seemed like a big victory.

But those eight thousand were supposed to be the defenders of their new city, but now they became enemies.

All in all, their loss today was only 10,000 yuan.

"The casualties at the east gate were one thousand to two thousand. Their attack there was not strong. General Qin from the west gate sent people to report. They lost 800 people, and the enemy's loss was about 3,000."

"As for the south gate..." When talking about the south gate, the general hesitated.

"What happened to the south gate?" Cheng Chumo was shocked.

"Nothing happened at the south gate. Nothing happened all day long. The enemy on the opposite side didn't take the initiative to attack the south gate at all." The general said, with a trace of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

"Didn't you pass the south gate on the other side?"

"Why?" Cheng Chumo was stunned and asked the general.

The general spread his hands, and he didn't know what happened.

Anyway, the south gate was not attacked all day today.
