Chapter 662 City Battle

Smoke was everywhere at the top of the city of Pyongyang, and the fire was burning wildly. Most of the three-level city tower on the city gate had already ignited, and black smoke was rolling. The arrows stored in the city tower were also burned into the fire.

When Silla generals such as Silla were watching the battle in the distance, they were stunned when they saw this scene. They thought that they could defend the battle with Utsuji Moon De. Even if the Zhao army could attack the city of Pyongyang, they would have to pay a huge price. However, they did not expect that the Zhao army would easily go to the city, and instead caused a large amount of damage to the Goguryeo army.

This was not the fault of Yizhi Wende. Who would have expected that the Zhao army could instantly mobilize hundreds of stone throwing machines and fifty crossbows and other siege methods, and the sulphur bomb was simply unheard of. Where did the Zhao army find such a weapon?

"If we hadn't been fortunate to see the strength of the Zhao army today, we would still be a frog in the well," Suchuan sighed, "Compared with the power of the Zhao army, it is really better than our Silla, and Goguryeo is too much."

Vitanda: "It seems that this time we Silla sent troops to help Dazhao is right. Being able to form this alliance will be of great benefit to our Silla Kingdom in the future."

After seeing the two, Jin Chunqiu thought to himself that you fools aren’t worried that after the Zhao army destroyed Goguryeo, they may take advantage of the situation to annex Silla and Baekje in the next step?”

Kim Yu-shin looked at the temple and said, "Two sirs, I think it will be difficult for Utsuji Moonde to do this. The Goguryeo people are brave and under the fire bomb of Zhao's army, it is probably difficult to support them."

At this moment, Yizhi Wendezhu was holding a sword and supported by the soldiers, barely standing beside the battlements.

Yizhi Wende was injured just now. He was shot by Zhao's army. If he hadn't raised his hand to block it, the arrow would have passed through his chest. Now Yizhi Wende whispered loudly to the Goguryeo soldiers to defend the city. Hearing Yizhi Wende's orders, the Goguryeo Imperial Guard, wearing armor and ox-horned pockets, was also transferred to the city and ran to the top of the city.

However, at this time, the Zhao soldiers carrying the ladder had already arrived at the city, and the anchor hook at the top of the ladder easily clamped the battlement of the city wall. The Zhao soldiers not only climbed the city from the ladder, but also used the arrow bars shot on the wall to support the climb.

At this moment, I saw a rushing flood over the embankment, and countless soldiers wearing red war jackets climbed up to the walls of Pyongyang City at the same time. It was like people crowding, people on the top, and people on the arch.

The first Zhao soldier who climbed to the squadron glanced downwards. The entire city wall was full of Goguryeo soldiers. Without saying a word, he just pulled out the knife and was stabbed and pulled down the city wall by the Goguryeo spear. The second Zhao soldier pulled out the knife, regardless of only one person, rushed towards the Goguryeo soldiers on the top of the city, jumped into the crowd and raised his sword to kill him.

"rush!"

The war drums were beating.

The soldiers and ants of the Zhao army gathered to attack the city, and at each squad, there was a battle between the Zhao army and the Goguryeo army. There was no skill in fighting between the flesh and blood on both sides, just a white knife entered the red knife. The soldiers on both sides opened their eyes widened and chopped each other. Corpants kept throwing down the top of the city, and kept making noises under the city.

The war has been going from daytime to noon. The situation on the city is still very stalemate.

Li Chongjiu pressed his sword and watched quietly under the city. The Zhao army's advancement was as smooth as he expected. However, after such a tragic blow to the Goguryeo people on the city, they were still so tenacious but slightly unexpected.

There were several cliffs. The Zhao army had clearly gained a foothold, but the Goguryeo soldiers who had emerged from somewhere came to fight their lives, chopping down all the Zhao soldiers. Then, the soldiers of his army killed them from here and surrounded and annihilated the Goguryeo people.

"It's worthy of being a Goguryeo Kyoto! It's really not that easy to attack." Li Chongjiu said to himself.

"Your Majesty, should we let our army retreat first?" Zhang Xuansu suggested.

Li Chongjiu saw a hint of cunning in Zhang Xuansu's eyes. Li Chongjiu immediately understood Zhang Xuansu's meaning and smiled and said, "Yes."

At that moment, the Zhao army's central army sounded the sound of gold. The Zhao army soldiers who could not gain a continuous foothold at the top of the city retreated. Seeing that the Zhao army's offensive had finally subsided, the Goguryeo people were relieved and picked up bows and arrows to shoot at the Zhao army retreating from the city.

A Goguryeo general rushed to Eji Wende and said, "Dao Lu, the Zhao army retreated."

Yizhi Wende raised his eyebrows and said, "No, the Zhao army's offensive is not exhausted yet, why retreat at this time?"

"What's so strange about this? We tried our best to defend the city wall..."

"Shut up," Eji Wende slapped his thigh, "No, please send an order to get the soldiers to retreat under the city wall."

"Why?"

"Don't ask, follow the order." Yizhi Wende roared, and a general hurriedly followed his instructions and shouted to Goguryeo, who was shooting arrows at the retreating Zhao army on the city wall, asking them to retreat.

And at this moment, a whistling sound came from the air again, and the general was immediately disgraced when he saw this scene.

When the Zhao army soldiers retreated to a safe distance, hundreds of stone throwers under the city fired oil bombs at the top of Pyongyang City for the second time. At this time, the city walls were densely filled with soldiers from the Goguryeo Army.

Bang!

The sulphur bomb exploded on the city wall, and the flames flew wildly. The Goguryeo soldiers on the top of the city almost turned into firemen, screaming and struggling to fall high from the battlements. In addition to listening to the words of Yizhi Wende, most of the more than 3,000 Goguryeo soldiers on the city wall were attacked by the sulphur bombs.

When Yizhi Wende saw this scene, he closed his eyes in pain. The soldiers and generals watching the battle in the mountains in the distance were all stunned and unable to speak.

"This method is too cruel!"

"Cruel? Think about the hundreds of thousands of Sui soldiers who were beheaded by Goguryeo to Jingguan by the Sashui River. They are just revenge." The Silla army was also talking.

"Don't mess with the Han people."

Li Chongjiu looked at the sea of ​​fire on the city wall, closed his lips and said nothing. The years of conquests had already made him hard as iron, and the screams of the Goguryeo soldiers on the city wall did not affect him at all.

The flag bearer on the nest car immediately reported the attack situation of the stone throwing car. The commander of the Zhao army under the city immediately ordered that all the bull-slides be launched in the second consecutive line. When the crossbow arrows were fired, the huge recoil shocked the crossbow bed.

After more arrows broke away from the crossbow, they firmly inserted into the walls of Pyongyang City. There were more cracks on the walls, and sand and stones fell down.

"At this point, it's almost done!" Li Chongjiu drew his sword. After this moment, the Zhao army retreated from the city had already gathered again and the new force was replaced.

With the movement of the war drum, the Zhao army started the second siege again!
Chapter completed!
