Chapter 641: Falling Short

"Knock knock!"

"Ready, attack!"

At the sound of an order, the first siege team of 5,000 people rushed towards Marudu Castle. Yuan Chang and Guo Jia stood in the center of the army, observing the siege procession, while Yehena Ratonna and Jian Qiutai stood behind Yuan Chang and them under the escort of their own soldiers. Of course, beside the five people, there were naturally two guards arranged by Yuan Chang to "guard", as long as they had any bad thoughts, these two guards could make them head in a different place as soon as possible.

With the walls of Marudu Castle, the siege team of 5,000 people is already the limit, and the battlefield can't accommodate any more people. Where is it like the city in the Central Plains, the larger ones need more than 100,000 or 200,000 to fill the city walls, and the smaller ones need tens of thousands of people to fill the city walls. When the city was attacked before, there were only 2,000 people at a time, and the defenders in Marudu Castle could still deal with it calmly, however, with the limit of 5,000 people today, the defenders of Marudu Castle were obviously very difficult to deal with.

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

The 5,000-strong siege soldiers were divided into five phalanxes, each with 1,000 men, and each set up a ladder to rush to their designated positions. Because of the encouragement of promotions and rewards, the soldiers besieging the city today are particularly brave.

"Woohoo!"

"Woohoo!"

The bows and arrows of the defenders of the city kept shooting, and it seemed that they could not resist the enthusiasm of the siege soldiers of the five countries. The archers of the five countries under the city are also constantly firing arrows, suppressing the archers in the city and reducing the pressure on their own soldiers who are besieging the city.

Gao Jianwu stood on the city wall under the protection of his own soldiers, and saw that the siege of the soldiers of the five countries was extremely fierce, and immediately ordered: "Pass the order, transport the rolling stones and sassal wood to the city wall, today's enemy army is attacking the city fiercely, it must be a battle, as long as they resist their offensive today, the enemy's momentum will inevitably fail, and then it will be time for us to counterattack." ”

"Whoa!"

The soldiers were ordered to march away, and in a short time rolling stones and sasswood were transported up to the city. Gao Jianwu saw that everything was ready, and his heart was much calmer, he didn't believe that with the advantage of the city wall, there were still a lot of materials to defend the city, and he would not be able to resist the attack of the enemy army, and his title of a famous general of Goguryeo was not in vain.

"Sting!"

The soldiers of the five countries besieging the city were extremely brave, facing the rain of arrows, knives and guns, climbing the city wall step by step, and in the stunned eyes of the Goguryeo soldiers on the city wall, they stabbed down with a sharp sword, and even killed a Goguryeo soldier. However, before the soldier of the Five Powers could rejoice for a moment, several spears stabbed him, and then the soldier fell down the ladder with an unwilling gaze, and he was only one step away from being promoted to a wealthy position and going back to marry the girl who had been waiting for him at home for a long time. This happened from time to time on the city walls, without any mercy, only merciless killing.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

On the other side of the wall, I don't know which country's soldiers may have been stimulated and went crazy. After approaching the head of the city, the spear of the Goguryeo soldiers was inserted into the heart, but there was no sign of death, but instead pulled the spear with one hand, and jumped on the head of the city, waving the long knife in his hand, and the Goguryeo soldiers who were still in stunned suddenly fell down several times, and there was a blank space around them, and the soldiers of this country followed closely, and the head of the city in this area seemed to be about to be occupied.

"What's going on? Why would an enemy army come up to the top of the city and immediately let people go to extinguish the enemy? Gao Jianwu, who was in the corner tower, saw that there were enemy troops who climbed to the top of the city so quickly, and he scolded angrily.

"General, the man didn't know why he didn't die with a few shots in his hand, and the brethren were caught off guard before he burst in. ”

Soon, some soldiers reported the specific situation to Gao Jianwu, but only the city wall in that place was broken into, and the defense in several other places was still normal. After paying the price of several teams of men, the Goguryeo side finally extinguished the enemy army and once again retained the defense of the city.

"It's a pity!"

Yuan Chang and the others, who were fighting outside the city, naturally also saw the situation here, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Of course, Yuan Chang knew that it was not his courage that this soldier could cause such a gap, but just a temporary outburst before it, and it was not the norm. If you seize the opportunity just now, the soldiers of the other four countries are all close to this direction and continue to attack, maybe you can take advantage of the situation to seize the city.

"Or my brave warriors who are brave enough to enter the city. Although I failed to capture the city, it was only a matter of time, and the treasures of the Goguryeo royal family ultimately belonged to my warriors. ”

Yehnaratonna stood proudly in front of the other four, and it was their warriors who had just taken the lead in the city, which was naturally his boastful capital. Of course, he also felt a pity in his heart, he didn't succeed in seizing the head of the city and entering the city, otherwise, the fifty percent of the royal property would belong to them. And the other four all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and secretly rejoiced that they had failed.

The first siege of the Five Nation Coalition lasted for half an hour, and both the soldiers of the Five Nation Alliance and the Goguryeo soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the corpses were piled up under the city walls, both on both sides. However, no one had time to pay attention to the fallen soldiers, and the killing continued.

"The second siege team is ready!"

The first team of siege soldiers of the Five Nations Alliance Army now only had about 2,000 left, which could no longer bring much pressure to the siege, and the second team of siege teams that were ready immediately rushed to the meat grinder of the city wall. The first team retreated to pacify, rest, and bandage their wounds, but there was no need to say much, because not many people paid attention, and everyone's attention was naturally on the side of the city wall.

"These guys are really hateful, and when my Goguryeo survives this catastrophe, they will definitely have to pay the price. ”

Gao Jianwu's face was extremely ugly, these five countries were not taken seriously by their Goguryeo before, and they brought them when they were good before, but now they have become a vicious dog that bites back, and anyone who encounters this kind of thing will feel angry. It's just that anger can't solve the problem, and now you still have to repel these enemies, so that you will have the opportunity to settle accounts with them in the future. Otherwise, Goguryeo would have been destroyed, let alone revenge. Perhaps, the commanders of the five countries also knew the situation they would face in the future, so in addition to the benefits promised by Yuan Chang, they would attack Goguryeo so hard.

"Put the rolling stones and sassalwood on the table, and wait for this wave of enemy troops to attack the city, and give me a fierce counterattack. In addition, the people in the city were ordered to give away the oil in their homes, and they were not allowed to hide their own secrets, and when the battle was won, the general would naturally compensate them tenfold or a hundredfold. Gao Jianwu stared at the city and said viciously.

Of course, he didn't say a word in his heart, and if he failed, then he didn't need to say anything.
