Chapter 1774 These people are crazy
The north gate of the new city.
Goguryeo's siege army has been assembled.
Different from the previous rebels, Goguryeo's soldiers wore neat and standard armor, held various weapons, and were ready to attack like wolves and tigers.
In front of them, the new city had already been soaked in the flames of war.
The Xincheng soldiers who were guarding the city were staring ahead and were ready.
Despite facing the coming danger, they feel exhausted mentally and physically. ??
But no one took a step back.
They know that their mission is to protect this city, and behind them is their country and their family.
The city is destroyed, the country is destroyed, and the family is destroyed.
"kill!"
The Goguryeo soldiers waved their flags, and the Goguryeo army, which had been silent at first, suddenly shouted loudly.
The siege began.
The Goguryeo army launched a wave of attacks, one after another, which greatly increased the pressure on the Xincheng soldiers defending the city.
The walls of the new city were constantly shaken by huge shock waves. The soldiers clung to the walls and tried their best to resist the enemy's attack.
Arrows, javelins, stones, and fireballs flew out from the city walls to repel waves of enemies.
Enemies kept dying in front of them, and Xincheng soldiers kept dying under random arrows.
However, even the companions who were fighting with him by his side one second were lying in a pool of blood the next moment.
But still no one backed down.
They knew that holding the new city would be worth everyone's death.
Facing the enemy's fierce attacks, the soldiers who had already experienced several battles did not panic.
The tacit cooperation between them did not give the enemy any chance to get close to the city wall.
After several days of fighting, the arrows on the tower had already been exhausted.
Soon, the arrows in the archer's basket were all used up.
At this moment, the Goguryeo army was still rushing toward them carrying ladders desperately.
r\u003e Yeon Gaesumun also discovered that the gate of the North City Gate had long been blocked, and there was no way for the siege engines to break through the gate.
They can only use human lives to build towers.
"Archers abandon their bows." Cheng Chumo gave the order with blood-red eyes.
The archer quickly threw away the long bow in his hand and picked up the weapon beside him.
"kill!"
The defenders of the new city wielded swords, spears and even broken battle axes, slashing at the enemies climbing on the city walls.
"Catapult!" Yeon Gaesumun saw this in the distance and knew that he would suffer heavy losses if he continued to forcefully attack the city like this.
Immediately, someone pushed the catapult forward.
The Goguryeo troops attacking the city immediately retreated, with dozens of catapults lined up in front.
From a distance, everyone saw that Goguryeo soldiers lit fireballs one after another, and then the fireballs hit the city tower with the huge power of catapults.
"Hide quickly." Qin Huaiyu shouted loudly.
"Pfft--" The fireball landed on the tower and exploded instantly.
What was wrapped in flames was not a stone at all, but a jar of strong wine.
The wine jar fell to the ground and shattered instantly.
The flames followed the wine and spread all over the tower.
Some unwary soldiers were instantly ignited by the flames.
The rest of the people had no time to save them, and their whole bodies were completely enveloped in flames.
He screamed and fell under the tower.
Countless fireballs flew from a distance.
The entire city tower almost became a sea of fire.
Countless soldiers who defended the city were ignited by the fire, struggled painfully in the sea of fire, and then died miserably.
Everyone on the tower could only watch the tragic situation in front of them and could do nothing.
After burning for a full hour, the flames on the tower slowly extinguished.
There was a strong burning smell in the air.
But everyone had no time to grieve.
They could only move the corpse aside and continue to prevent the Goguryeo army from attacking them again.
These Goguryeo soldiers believed that after this trebuchet attack, the soldiers defending the city had no intention of fighting anymore.
So they rushed to the tower like crazy.
Unexpectedly, boiling molten iron was poured down from above their heads.
In an instant, swarms of enemies on the city wall fell to the ground like dumplings.
Not a single scream came out.
These people had already fainted from the scalding when the hot metal poured down on their heads.
Below the city tower, it's like purgatory on earth.
The miserable state of the corpse was unbearable to look at.
But even so, the Goguryeo soldiers did not retreat.
They climbed on the ladders, hooked the defenders' bodies with long iron hooks, and pulled out their internal organs.
Let them struggle to survive in excruciating pain.
Many soldiers guarding the city couldn't bear the pain, so they threw themselves at the enemy at the front and fell into the city together with the enemy.
"Commander, are these people crazy?" Tuo She looked at the battlefield ahead. Even a murderous demon like him felt that the battlefield ahead was extremely cruel.
Yeon Gaesumun said nothing. He also admired the courage of the new city defenders, but he must capture the new city.
No matter how much it costs.
The battle is still going on, and there is already a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood outside the North Gate City.
The 500-foot-long city wall was completely dyed blood red with blood.
Under the city wall, there were piles of corpses of soldiers from both sides.
The city walls were cracked and it looked like they would be overrun at any moment.
The night falls slowly,
The physical strength of the soldiers on both sides has reached its limit.
Cheng Chumo collapsed on the ground, his hands trembling.
The blood on Qin Huaiyu's face was dry and wet.
Qin Sanpao's feet were densely packed with firecrackers and ammunition.
Other soldiers were also leaning against the city wall, with lingering fatigue on their faces.
Many people had limbs missing, and blood flowed from their severed limbs.
But no one made even the slightest sound.
Zhao Chen looked at the city tower in the distance. He knew that Yuengai Suwen wanted to win the new city in one battle today.
That's why today's attack was completely disregarding casualties and was so frenzied.
In just one day, the New City defenders lost more than 10,000 people.
Almost everyone left now is injured.
However, the siege has reached this stage, and Zhao Chen believes that Yeon Gaesumun will not wait any longer for tomorrow.
Tonight, Yeon Gaesumun will definitely continue to attack.
However, how can the Xincheng soldiers withstand tonight's attack in their current state?
More than half of Yeon Gaesoo's army of hundreds of thousands was not consumed at all.
They are at their best.
With these people, the tower cannot be defended.
"Cheng Er." Zhao Chen walked to Cheng Chumo.
Cheng Chumo took a sip of water and didn't get up. He was too tired and didn't want to move at all.
"Yeon Gaesumun will attack again tonight."
Zhao Chen's words made everyone's hearts skip a beat.
They are already like this, how can they resist the attack at night.
"What should we do?" Cheng Chumo looked at Zhao Chen.
Right now Zhao Chen is his only hope.
If Zhao Chen can't do anything, then everything will be over.
