Chapter 67: When the City is Fallen, the End Begins
"Stab! Stab!"
The terrifying sound of the blade piercing into the bone continued to ring out!
The flat ground above the city wall was completely stained with blood.
The soldiers on both sides, who were originally comrades in arms, were now already blood-thirsty.
One by one, the Korean surrendered soldiers rushed to the top of the city wall.
They were soon surrounded by soldiers on the city wall.
Both sides fell in large numbers.
But backup soldiers will soon arrive.
Then there was another brutal fight.
The surrendered soldiers attacking the city took advantage of the terrain and attacked faster and faster.
Especially since there were already soldiers climbing up the city wall in front, the original suppression from arrows and rolling logs was greatly weakened.
The same was true for the Pyongyang defenders on the city walls.
Large numbers of reinforcements from the rear were constantly filling up the city walls.
The whole atmosphere has turned completely crazy.
All feelings and emotions have long been thrown behind.
All that's left is a life-and-death fight.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
As time went by, the entire world was dyed with a hazy blood color.
Gao Changsheng stood there motionless.
The extremely brutal fight did not cause any ripples on his face.
The more than 3,000 Sui soldiers surrounding them stood still like sculptures. Without receiving orders from Gao Changsheng, they naturally would not rashly participate in the attack.
"strangeness!"
Deputy General Wang at the side spoke in confusion.
"It seems that most of the defenders in Pyongyang are ordinary soldiers. Where are their elite troops?"
"It's already this time, you can't still be holding back your strength, right?"
Although these people did not participate in the siege, they were always paying attention to the battle on the city wall.
In order to facilitate management, the armor of these Goryeo soldiers was removed after they were captured.
Weapons were only distributed before the siege.
The combat effectiveness of a soldier will be completely different depending on whether he is wearing armor or not.
In other words, this group of guards were the troops guarding the Goryeo imperial city and the Goryeo king, so they were able to have such complete armor.
Like ordinary troops, they may not necessarily wear armor when going to the battlefield.
Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the surrendered soldiers will inevitably decline significantly after removing their defenses.
Of course, for Gao Changsheng and others, this was a choice they had to make.
With more than 3,000 cavalrymen capturing tens of thousands of enemy soldiers, the pressure would be too great if all of them were fully armed and ready to fight.
If one person turns against the other, the normal battle may be overturned.
back to the front.
The surrendered soldiers faced with this situation.
The defenders of Pyongyang did not gain any advantage.
Under their observation.
Often, the fall of one surrendered soldier would be accompanied by the death of two or three soldiers defending the city.
This is certainly due to the support of Gao Changsheng’s military formation.
But the casualty ratio was one to two, or even close to one to three.
This is enough to show the quality of these soldiers defending the city.
"It's really strange. Isn't it said that Pyongyang still has 10,000 guards, and they are infantry? Why aren't such troops deployed to defend the city?"
"What is the King of Goryeo thinking about?" Deputy General Wang asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Is that old guy planning to run away?" Lieutenant General Li asked in surprise.
"Although they are infantry, the huge city of Pyongyang will not be short of these horses!"
"Then the King of Goryeo is not planning to break out and escape?"
Vice General Wang was startled when he heard this, but he quickly came to his senses:
"How is that possible? Unless the Goryeo King is a fool, or he thinks we are fools!"
"Under the leadership of the general, we broke in from the rear of Zhanghe Pass. Even if they were to escape, where would they go?"
"If they go north, the Taedong River that was supposed to protect them will become a river of death that blocks their way!"
"What's more, although we are mainly attacking this gate, we are also not without defense in other directions. How can they escape?"
"That makes sense, but..." Lieutenant General Li was still waiting to speak!
But he was suddenly interrupted by Gao Changsheng's voice!
"it's time!"
The light voice made both of them shudder.
Of course they knew what this meant. As expected, Gao Changsheng lightly flicked the spear at his side!
A loud voice resounded throughout the venue!
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
The cavalrymen around raised their weapons at the same time and raised their horses' hooves high.
"Are we going to launch a general attack?"
The two deputy generals were startled at the same time.
Naturally, they had anticipated this moment.
But I really didn't expect it to come so soon.
You have to know that this is Pyongyang, the capital of a country.
But now, there is no decent resistance organized.
But at this time, the two of them had no time to think about anything else.
My mind, my heart, my entire body were filled with excitement.
If we capture the royal city, that would be the achievement of destroying a country!
Who can resist such a feat?
"Charge and destroy the city!"
"Then let's see how the Goryeo King's final game turns out, shall we?"
Gao Changsheng's light voice came out slowly.
Wang Li; they were both stunned at the same time!
They suddenly realized that their general might know the reasons for the various strange phenomena in Pyongyang.
But at this time, they didn't have time to ask further questions.
Because Gao Changsheng had already pointed his gun forward and gave the order to charge.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Along the way, there were losses and withdrawals!
Of the original 5,000 cavalry, only a little over 3,000 were left following Gao Changsheng.
But it is these three thousand troops.
But it showed an earth-shaking momentum.
From the moment the horse's hooves sounded, it was as if the Yellow River had burst its banks in an instant.
The rolling torrent rushed out, sweeping everything in sight.
Especially the murderous aura that had been condensed on the soldiers.
Completely released at this moment.
The surrounding sky and earth seemed to darken in an instant.
"kill!"
Three thousand people shouted in unison!
A murderous aura loomed.
On the city wall, all the soldiers defending the city were shocked by the murderous aura and fell into a pause for an instant.
The surrendered soldiers on Gao Changsheng's side roared wildly, waved their weapons, and began to reap the lives around them.
"Quick, hurry up and stop the thieves. Don't let them rush up the city wall."
"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"
Behind the city wall, shrill roars continued to be heard.
But if someone were here, they would find it.
The people he urged forward at this time were not real soldiers, but civilians holding weapons, wearing ordinary clothes and with panicked faces.
"Come on, it's too late!"
A trembling voice suddenly interrupted!
"what?"
The person in charge was confused, but he soon understood the reason.
Above the city wall, a military flag suddenly flew across the sky.
Soldiers poured in from all directions like a tide!
What followed was the sound of horse hooves that was enough to make one's heart stop.
Everyone behind the city looked extremely terrified.
The city gate, which fitted perfectly as if embedded in the center of the city wall, began to open slowly.
"Da da da!"
Along with the horses' hooves coming in, there were also excited roars that were so loud that they broke the voices.
"Hahaha, Pyongyang is broken! Hahaha, General Gao is mighty!"
"General Gao is mighty!"
The three armies shouted together, and the sound echoed throughout the city!
"Ang~~~~"
Just at the moment when the roar fell.
Another earth-shaking sound suddenly exploded.
Gao Changsheng turned his head instantly and his eyes narrowed quickly.
At this moment, a strong golden light appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Ang~~~~"
