Chapter 1769: Not Attacked for a Whole Day

The densely packed Goguryeo army is as conspicuous as locusts on the white snow.
North gate of the city. Translated:
Cheng Chumo stared expressionlessly at the Goguryeo army in front of him.
They didn't even exchange greetings and the troops immediately started attacking the city.
At the forefront were those soldiers who had surrendered before. Translated:
These people think they can save their lives by leaving the city.
Little do they know, Yuange Suwen treats them as cannon fodder, and those in the forefront of the attacking team will undoubtedly suffer the most gruesome deaths.
However, they have no way to retreat.
Behind them is the Supervision and Warfare Team led by Yuangai Suwen. No one dares to fall behind, as the formidable blades of the Supervision and Warfare Team would come down upon them.
"Attack!" The defected general of the new city shouted as he charged towards the new city with weapon in hand.
At this moment, he regrets it.
If he had not chosen to defect to Silla, he would certainly not have ended up in this situation today.
Even if he had stayed to defend the city, he might not have died so quickly.
But now...
General Xincheng led his troops, with arrows raining down like a deluge.
One by one, the soldiers around him were struck by arrows and fell to the ground, the stench of blood making his breathing become frantic.
The warhorse was struck by a flying arrow and fell straight to the ground.
The general leading the charge was thrown off the warhorse, but he paid no attention to it at this moment and forced himself to continue charging forward.
This is the most dangerous area, where the barrage of arrows from the opposite side is enough to turn all of them into porcupines.
Moreover, the soldiers behind him were solely focused on charging forward, which could have resulted in trampling him to death.
"Charge!" shouted the defector of Xincheng once again, wielding his weapon and running towards the front.
But before he could even run ten steps, an arrow pierced through his forehead.
The new city surrendered and remained in place, with arrows raining down on his body like a dense cluster.
The front of his body was pierced by almost a hundred arrows.
The new city surrendered general had almost no reaction, and at this moment, he had turned into a lifeless corpse, falling heavily to the ground.
Seeing their own general die before their eyes, the soldiers in the newly captured city dared not stop for even a moment.
Rushing to the foot of the city wall, they still had a chance to survive. Going back would only result in being killed by the supervising team led by Yuan Gaisuwen.
"Kill! " The fear of death made them forget the arrows in front of them.
The soldiers of the invading army shouted as they charged towards the city walls.
With every breath, dozens of people fell under the rain of arrows.
Everyone felt scared, but no one stopped moving.
After sacrificing thousands of lives, the vanguard army finally approached the walls of the new city.
Ladders and siege towers also arrived beneath the city walls.
"Attack the city!"
"Follow me, everyone!" The lieutenant pointed at the siege ladder against the city wall and was the first to climb up.
However, before he could climb a few rungs, a massive rock fell from above, narrowly missing them.
In an instant, it smashed into his right hand.
His arm throbbed with pain, and without a firm grip, he tumbled down from the cloud ladder.
Luckily, there was a corpse cushioning his fall on the ground, though it was a bit painful. Before he could get up, countless stones were thrown down from the city wall.
The surrendered military officer didn't have time to dodge, as a huge boulder struck him directly on the head.
"Ah--"
Before he could even scream in agony, the surrendered military officer's brain splattered, and he died a gruesome death at the foot of the city wall.
And his scream, it didn't attract anyone's attention at all.
Here, there are people dying at all times.
Under the city tower of the North Gate of the new city, there were constantly new city rebels dying, and there were also new city soldiers guarding the city being shot by arrows, screaming as they fell from the tower. Translated: "
In just one hour, the bodies on the walls of the New City had piled up layer after layer.
Yuan Gai Su Wen looked ahead and saw that the first group of charging New City troops were dying at a rapid pace, so he immediately turned his gaze to another group of New City troops beside him.
"You, take people to continue attacking the city!" Yuan Gaisuwen said coldly.
"Yes..." The defector's voice trembled, but it could not change his fate.
If he could start over, he swore he would never become a traitor.
With the same defected soldiers as his subordinates, this traitorous general also followed in the footsteps of the former leader.
Countless wine barrels were thrown from the city tower, crashing heavily onto the city walls.
The alcohol sprayed onto the corpse on the ground, and the torch was thrown down.
The fierce flames instantly engulfed the body on the ground.
Along with it, the siege ladders and siege engines were also ignited.
Yuan Gaisuwen looked at the raging fire in the distance, his gaze stern and terrifying.
From early morning until dusk, the siege on the northern city gate never ceased.
The number of enemy soldiers killed in the New City must have been at least six or seven thousand, yet not a single one of them managed to climb the walls of the New City.
Although he had anticipated this outcome, Yuanguai Suwen still felt annoyed deep down.
The strong resistance of the defenders in the new city would cause him to lose a significant number of his own troops.
This is definitely not what Yuan Gai Suwen wants to see.
"Retreat!" Yuan Gai Suwen knows that it is impossible to capture the city within a day.
At this moment, the attacking troops are exhausted, while the defending forces can rotate their soldiers in a short period of time.
This is unfavorable for Yuan Gaisuwen.
With the sound of horns, the exhausted army of the New City is now filled with hope to survive.
They retreat from beneath the walls of the New City like a tide.
Countless corpses remain, piled up outside the walls of the new city.
……
On the city tower of the northern gate of the new city, Cheng Chumo sat on the ground in silence, watching the retreat of the army led by Yuan Gai Suwen. He finally heaved a long sigh of relief.
Today's attack was much more intense than before.
The enemy completely disregards casualties and launches an all-out assault on the city, putting Cheng Chumu and his fellow defenders in a passive position.
Fortunately, the defending soldiers are brave enough and the defensive equipment is plentiful.
I never let an enemy rush up the wall.
"Record the casualties, replenish the defensive equipment." With only these two demands, Cheng Chumo returned to the small house on the city wall, dragging his exhausted body.
He dare not go back to the city to rest, no one knows when Yuangaisuwen's next siege will be.
Soon, the casualty statistics were calculated.
The new city general came to Cheng Chumu with some excitement: "General Cheng, we have lost two thousand men today, while the enemy has suffered at least eight thousand casualties. This is a great victory."
"What about the other city gates?" Cheng Chumo remained noncommittal.
While seemingly a great victory with a ratio of two thousand to eight thousand,
those eight thousand were originally supposed to be the defenders of their new city, but now they had become enemies.
According to the calculation, their loss today is only 10,000.
"At the East Gate, there were 1,000 casualties on our side and 2,000 on theirs. Their attack there wasn't strong. General Qin sent someone to report that they lost 800 men, while the enemy's losses are estimated to be around 3,000."
When it came to the South Gate...
The general hesitated a little.
"What's wrong with the South Gate?" Cheng Chumu's heart skipped a beat.
"The other side didn't pass through the South Gate?"
"Why not?" Cheng Chumo hesitated for a moment and asked the general in return.
The general shrugged, also unsure of what had happened.
Anyway, the South Gate had not been attacked all day.
