Chapter 642: Ultimatum
"Smash it for Lao Tzu, smash it hard, smash it to death!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
A continuous stream of rolling stones and trees fell from the city, and each time they fell, they could take away dozens of lives. However, no matter how much the commander-in-chief ordered, the lethal rolling stones and sassal trees could not make the soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance retreat, and they still climbed the ladder one after another and rushed towards the city.
"Kill!"
"Take the city, the women, the treasures, the cattle and sheep are all yours, don't hesitate, as long as you win, you can all become nobles and become masters when you go back. ”
The generals of the various teams under the city were hoarse and encouraged, tempted.
"Hold on, think of your king, your family, they're all behind you!"
"Raise your spirits, fill in the gaps wherever they are, and don't let the enemy come up, come and kill one by one, our Goguryeo warriors have never been afraid of any enemy. ”
The Goguryeo generals on the city wall were also boosting morale and shouting hard.
"Kill!"
"My women, my cattle and sheep, all mine!"
The blood-boiling soldiers of the Five Kingdoms roared, ignoring the wounds on their bodies, brandishing their long knives, and approaching the city step by step. Dodging the raindrops of arrows and the frantically stabbing spears, the head of the city is already in front of you, and you can land on it with just one step. However, a huge piece of wood, covered with iron nails, fell mercilessly from the top of the city, carrying the soldier's endless regrets, and at the same time taking away the regrets of countless soldiers behind him, and fell towards the city wall. The coalition soldiers waiting to climb under the ladder were either killed or wounded. After the soldiers next to him moved the woods, they didn't have time to pay attention to the casualties, and still roared and climbed the ladder to continue the siege.
"The woman who wants to touch me, rob my cattle and sheep, and kill you!"
"No one can snatch Lao Tzu's money, if you want to rob Lao Tzu's money, Lao Tzu will kill you!"
The Goguryeo soldiers on the city wall were equally crazy, facing the crisis that their homes might be breached, women were robbed, cattle and sheep money were robbed, they all fought desperately, the purpose of both sides was the same, and the final result was that only one side could win this war, and the losing side would not gain or lose these.
"The war has reached a critical moment, and whichever side relaxes is likely to lose this war. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the enthusiasm and morale of the soldiers at this time, and let the third team prepare to play. The second team didn't have to retreat, so they kept their state at this time and led the third team to continue the siege. ”
The generals in charge of the command of the five countries all saw the momentum of the soldiers on the battlefield at this moment, so they quickly made a decision. It is when morale is high, the soldiers of the second team besieging the city naturally cannot withdraw from the battlefield like the first team, although it will cause more casualties among the soldiers of the second team besieging the city, but this is a very helpless thing. Once they are allowed to retreat at this point, the surging blood and morale will dissipate, causing their offensive to subside. In this case, it is better to let them continue to attack the city, give full play to their residual heat, and stimulate the blood and morale of the soldiers of the third team besieging the city, which is conducive to the siege.
"Go up on top, don't be afraid!"
"Our third team is no worse than the second team, and let the first team and the second team see what they can't do and we can do it. ”
The general in charge of the third team waved his arms and shouted loudly, boosting morale.
Gao Jianwu looked at the soldiers of the Five Kingdoms surging under the city wall, frowned slightly, and shouted: "The morale of the enemy army is high at the moment, and it is time to surrender the fire to them and send the golden juice." ”
The so-called gold juice is boiling hot dung, which can burn the enemy, and the feces are dirty, the wounds are easy to rot, and it is difficult to heal. In ancient times, during the siege of a city, sometimes the enemy army held the city, and the besieging party would throw the dead body into the city in order to achieve victory, causing a plague to break out in the city, which was a very inhumane method. The use of gold juice is similar to this method. It's just that both sides of the war are life and death, and who cares about whether this method is humane. It's the same as using flooding and fire attack, in the end, as long as the victory is won, the result is not written by the winner, and no one cares about the process.
"Ahh
"My eyes!"
"It's so hot, I can't stand it!"
Spoonfuls of gold juice fell from the city, and the siege situation was suddenly eased. Recruits may not know the lethality of gold juice, but veterans naturally know how disgusting this thing is. Sometimes, they would rather be shot with a bow and arrow, hacked to death with a knife, or stabbed to death by a spear, than be wounded by the golden juice, which would be a painful nightmare.
"Brothers, the dog thieves of Goguryeo are at the end of their rope and have run out of all the means they can use, don't be afraid!"
"When the city is captured, their women, cattle and sheep are all ours, what are these injuries, keep rushing!"
Seeing that their soldiers were frightened and their momentum began to fade, the generals of the Five Nations Alliance immediately shouted loudly again, and the centurion and the thousand-commander led by example, roaring and climbing the ladder. It's not that these centurions and thousand-necks are not afraid of death, but they know that they can't retreat at this moment, and once they retreat, there is only one way to die when they go back. In this case, it is better to die on the road of charging, so that their families can still get pensions. With these generals taking the lead, the soldiers who were still a little hesitant and cowering before had their morale restored again at this moment, and they rushed forward with a roar.
"One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion. The offensive just now has stalled, and it has already had an impact, and if you want to continue the previous momentum, you may not be able to do it. Gao Jianwu thought that he would seize this opportunity to suppress the besieging soldiers, and he would not be able to take the pill capital city in the morning. ”
Guo Jia had been watching the situation on the battlefield, and when he saw the previous situation, he said helplessly to Yuan Chang on the side.
"Hmm!"
Yuan Chang nodded, then looked at the chief generals of the five countries, and said: "Continue to attack the city for a quarter of an hour, if you fail to capture it, retreat, and continue to attack the city after lunch." If you can't capture the city, then the soldiers and horses of the Honju will enter the battlefield, and if the soldiers and horses of the Honju Mu take the lead in attacking the palace, then the property of the Goguryeo royal family will be lost to you, and I hope you will do it yourself. ”
After that, Yuan Chang and Guo Jia took the lead in leaving, since they couldn't capture the pill capital, there was nothing to see.
And after Yuan Chang left, the expressions on the faces of the five people changed for a while. They had already suffered many casualties in the siege in the morning, and if they tried hard in the afternoon, they would probably take Maruto Castle. However, Yuan Chang was ready to make a move, and the five of them naturally would not doubt the combat effectiveness of Yuan Chang's soldiers and horses. When Yuan Chang said this, it was obviously an ultimatum to them, either try to take the pill capital city, or don't expect any benefits.
