Chapter 1780 Be sure to guard the city gate

Tuo She's heart sank slightly.

As soon as the soldier said that, he immediately thought of Zhao Chen whom he met outside Xincheng.

These days, he is always frightened because of his tragic defeat at the hands of Zhao Chen.

Tuoshe was thinking, if Zhao Chen had a weapon in his hand that day, would he still be able to go back alive?

Tuo She didn't know and didn't want to believe the result.

But he knew that if he couldn't kill Zhao Chen, this shadow would linger in his heart for the rest of his life.

At this moment, in the nearby residence, it is very likely that Zhao Chen is there.

Zhao Chen must have spent a lot of time defending the city in the new city for so many days. If he didn't take this opportunity to kill him, I'm afraid he wouldn't have a chance in the future!

But he was worried that Zhao Chen was too powerful and he was no match for him.

"General, that man hasn't left yet!" The soldier spoke again, which made Tuo She's heart skip a beat.

Looking at the more than fifty soldiers following him, Tuoshe slowly walked towards the door.

He believed that Zhao Chen, who had been consumed for several days, no matter how powerful he was, could not be his opponent with so many people.

catch him!

kill him!

Such an idea suddenly appeared in Tuo She's mind, and the further he went out, the stronger it became.

When we came to the yard next door, there were three corpses lying under the bamboo curtain outside the room.

The corpse's wounds were still bleeding with blood.

There was no movement in the room.

"Archer, shoot!" Tuo She did not rush in directly.

He knew Zhao Chen's ability, so naturally he wouldn't be stupid enough to send it directly.

The soldiers behind him bent their bows and nocked arrows, and shot dozens of arrows towards the bamboo curtain in front.

The bamboo curtain was instantly broken by the arrow and fell on top of the three corpses.

Did Tushe raise his hand, stop the soldier's shooting, and listen to the movement in the room with his ears raised.

Only

But he heard nothing.

There was no movement at all inside.

"Go in and take a look." Tuo She looked at the soldiers aside.

The soldier's expression changed greatly, but he did not dare to refuse Tuo She's order.

He could only hold the shield and approach the room cautiously.

Tuo She and others were also staring ahead nervously. The soldier's feet stepped over the corpse on the ground, and just as he stepped on the threshold of the door, an arrow suddenly shot out from the room.

"Be careful!" Tuoshe shouted.

The arrow had already passed through the neck of the soldier who was about to enter the room, and shot towards the hunchback with blood.

Tuo She dodged and dodged the arrow.

But the soldiers sent to investigate had already fallen on the three corpses, still holding their shields tightly in their hands.

But he didn't react at all, and he was shot before he could use his shield!

Tuo She stood there with a black face. There was actually a trap in this room.

If he had just walked in, he would have died!

Thinking about it now, Tuo She was filled with fear.

The other soldiers behind him were even more frightened.

Most of the houses in the city have the same layout. How do they know which house is plotted and which house is ambushed.

This kind of plot scares them more than the battle on the battlefield!

"Camel shot!" Zhao Chen's voice suddenly appeared above their heads.

Tuo She looked up and saw Zhao Chen standing on the roof in front of them.

"Zhao Chen!" Tuo She clenched his fists almost subconsciously.

"Go back and tell Yeon Gaesumun to be careful when passing through the city.

Some, maybe, he will be the next to die! "After Zhao Chen finished speaking, he jumped down from the roof and disappeared.

The soldier ran to follow him, and soon returned to Tuoshe with a dejected look on his face.

Tuo She didn't say a word, turned around and went back to report the matter to Yuan Gaisu Wen!

…

"What did you say?"

"Zhao Chen is still in the city?" Yuan Gaisuwen's attention was obviously only on Zhao Chen.

The Xincheng garrison was defeated. Zhao Chen not only did not leave, but stayed in Xincheng to ambush his Goguryeo soldiers.

"Commander, this Zhao Chen is extremely dangerous, and he knows how to set traps. We lost four soldiers in just one encounter with him today."

"And they seemed to be using the bamboo curtains of the houses in the city to plot against our soldiers who opened the bamboo curtains and were about to enter the house."

"In just one morning, we lost nearly a hundred people, while they only lost less than twenty people!" Tuo She warned Yeon Gaesumun.

Yeon Gaesumun frowned.

Use bamboo curtains to plot against your own people?

Yeon Gaesumun didn't say anything, but came outside a residential house, walked into the room, looked through the bamboo curtain, staring at Tuo She and others outside.

Sure enough, standing in the room and looking outside, it was clear.

All actions outside are without any hindrance.

But standing outside, you can only see a blur, and even when you first walk into the room, you will feel temporarily uncomfortable.

Obviously, those New City soldiers relied on this short time to assassinate their own people.

How could this Zhao Chen think of such a method!

Such a person is too terrible and must not be left alone.

Yeon Gaesumun walked out of the room and looked at Tuo She and the generals: "Everyone is on standby and all exits from the city are blocked."

"Gather everything that can fuel the fire and prepare to burn down the new city."

"I don't believe it. If the fire burns down the city, where can they hide?"

"Commander, if you burn the city, it will take at least four or five days until the fire is extinguished." Tuo She said quickly.

Tuo She's idea is that if there is no way to deal with the remaining soldiers in the city now, he should lead the army to destroy Silla as soon as possible.

Rather than waste time here.

Although he also wanted to kill Zhao Chen here, Tuo She was worried, what if Zhao Chen could think of other ways to survive this fire?

In this way, are they just wasting time here with Zhao Chen and the remaining remnant soldiers?

"Even if it takes a month, we have to kill that Zhao Chen here!" But Tuoshe obviously underestimated Yeon Gaesumun's determination to kill Zhao Chen.

The soldiers sprang into action.

Instead of breaking into houses covered by bamboo curtains, they just collected things in the yard that could fuel the fire.

The things were quickly collected, and large amounts of burning materials were piled up in all the important roads in the new city.

Yeon Gaesumun even asked his men to bring thousands of jars of strong liquor from his military camp.

That night, the Goguryeo army withdrew towards the four city gates.

Nearly ten thousand people are stationed at each city gate. Let alone one person, even if a bird flies by here, it must leave its wings.

"Commander, everything is ready and ready to light the fire at any time." The generals under his command came to report. At this moment, Yuengai Suwen had already stationed his army outside the south city of the new city.

After the things here are dealt with, he can directly march to the capital of Silla with his army and completely destroy the Silla Kingdom.

"Inform the four gates, send people to light fires, and be sure to guard the city gates. No matter who they are, if they want to escape from the city, shoot them all!" Yeon Gaesumun's cold and stern voice suddenly sounded.
