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. ??
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 supervisor team led by Yeon Gae So-moon himself. Anyone who dared to cower behind would be chopped down with the sword of the war supervisor 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 new general surrendered in Xincheng led his troops and horses, and rained arrows came towards him.
The soldiers around him fell one after another after being hit by arrows, and the smell of blood made him breathe quickly.
The war horse was hit by a flying arrow and fell straight to the ground.
Xinchengjiang was thrown off his horse, but at the moment he couldn't care about anything else 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.
Moreover, the soldiers behind him just rushed forward, enough to trample him to death.
"Charge!" Xincheng's general shouted again, holding his weapon and running towards the front.
But before he could run ten feet, an arrow was nailed to his forehead.
Xincheng Jiang 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 entire front of the person.
Xinchengjiangjiang didn't respond at all for a few moments, but now he has changed.
Become a corpse and fall 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 castle 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 rain of arrows.
Everyone was scared, but no one stopped.
Finally, after paying thousands of lives, the vanguard army finally approached the new city wall.
Cloud 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 arm 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 city 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 Gae Suwen 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 men 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 followed in the footsteps of the previous generals.
Countless wine jars were thrown from the city tower and fell heavily on the city wall.
Drinks sprayed 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.
The dead Xincheng surrender troops numbered at least six to seven thousand, but even so, not one of them even climbed onto the walls of the 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 their defenders in a short period of time.
This is not good for Yeon Gae So Moon.
The golden sound sounded, and the Xincheng surrender army, which had been exhausted for a long time, was ignited with hope of survival.
Like the tide, they evacuated from the New City.
Only countless corpses were left, piled up outside the new city.
…
On the tower of the north gate of the new city, Cheng
Chu Mo slumped 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 enemy attacked 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.
That's why we didn't let an enemy rush onto 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 did not dare to go back to the city to rest. No one knew when Yeon Gaesumun would attack the city next.
Soon, casualty statistics were calculated.
General Xincheng came to Cheng Chumo with some excitement: "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 seems 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 is probably 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 that they lost 800 people and the enemy lost 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.
"The other side doesn't pass through the south gate?"
"Why?" Cheng Chumo was stunned and asked the general.
The general spread his hands and didn't know what happened.
Anyway, the south gate was not attacked all day today.
