The Great Wei Gazette and the Great Wei Minbao were vigorously publicizing the exploits of the Great Wei army and the power of the Shenwei cannons, Cheng Yu took Jiang Wei and Deng Ai, as well as the eight Shenwei cannons that were transported to the Great Wei army again, and won successive battles in Goguryeo!

There was not a single city in Goguryeo that could hold out for a day under the bombardment of a total of forty Shenwei cannons and the attack of 200,000 Great Wei infantry soldiers!

Even Pyongyang Fortress, the second largest city in Goguryeo after Marudu Fortress, was declared lost in one day after Shenwei artillery blasted through four city gates in a row, killing 100,000 Great Wei infantry in the city.

In order to prevent Goguryeo's military generals and the king of Dongchuan and others from having the opportunity to escape to Buyeo or Xianbei, Cheng Yu chose to clear all the cities except Marudu City first, and finally led 250,000 Great Wei infantry soldiers and 50,000 Youzhou iron cavalry to the outside of Marudu City.

In the city of Marudu, King Dongchuan once again convened the Goguryeo ministers in the main hall of the palace.

"General Zhao, why hasn't there been news about the Great Wei attack in other cities in recent days?"

King Dongchuan instinctively felt that something was wrong with Goguryeo's current situation, so he asked the general Zhao Chi.

"Returning to the Great King, this should be that Great Wei has begun to attack the cities in my Goguryeo country at the same time, so the guards of each city will not be able to pass the news to Marudu City."

The general Zhao Chi didn't know what the situation was, but he still answered the inquiry of the king of Dongchuan head-on.

It's a pity that King Dongchuan is not so easy to fool, and the answer of the general Zhao Chi does not satisfy King Dongchuan.

"Could it be that Great Wei has increased his troops again? Otherwise, with the number of troops that Great Wei had invaded Goguryeo before, it would be impossible to besiege all the cities at the same time!

General Zhao, did you send scouts to various cities to find out the news? ”

King Dongchuan has already begun to question the general Zhao Chi this time.

Facing the questioning of the king of Dongchuan, Zhao Chi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his head, with his years of experience, with the existing number of troops in the Great Wei, it was certainly impossible for all the cities in Goguryeo to not even send a single herald.

However, the general Zhao Chi did not send a horse to explore the horse, which is indeed his failure to do his job.

"Returning to the king, the last general did not send a horse to the various cities......"

"So what are you waiting for? Send scouts to the various cities now to find out what's going on! ”

Without waiting for the general Zhao Chi to finish speaking, the king of Dongchuan said angrily at him.

"Yes!"

The general Zhao Chi didn't dare to say much, turned around and whispered to a general behind him, who quickly nodded and left the palace hall and began to arrange for the horses.

Then the minister Gogos began to report to the king of Dongchuan about the consumption of grain, grass and fuel in the city.

"King, now the grain and grass in the city of Marudu is enough for the people in the city and the soldiers who defend the city, but the dry firewood for the people to live and cook is indeed a little insufficient, I wonder if the king can let some of the people go out of the city to collect dry firewood?"

Hearing this, the king of Dongchuan couldn't help frowning again, and only after a moment did he say to the minister Goger Ri: "This is indeed a big problem, but the people are still too slow to collect dry firewood, so send a team of defenders to collect dry firewood!"

General Zhao, you can arrange it then! ”

Zhao Chi, the general who was arranged, couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart when he heard this, but he also had to accept this task, you must know that there are also many middle-aged men in the city, and they can not only act as people's husbands at critical moments, but also assist in defending the city.

"The last general obeys!"

After the general Zhao Chi responded to this matter, the king of Dongchuan continued to discuss with the Goguryeo civil and military forces what else could be strengthened or needed to be solved.

Soon the discussion in the main hall of the palace was in the evening.

At this time, a scout who had been sent out to check the situation in other cities came to the palace hall in a panic.

"King! The army of Great Wei has completely surrounded the city of Marudu! ”

As soon as Tanma's words came out, in the palace hall that had just returned to the crowd, it was suddenly so fine that it could be heard.

The Goguryeo civil and military forces, including the king of Dongchuan, all stared straight at this tanma.

The scout horse swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously, and continued stubbornly: "I was ordered to go to Yanmen to the city to check the situation, who knew that halfway to the road, I met the Youzhou Iron Rider of the Great Wei, fortunately I was lucky to escape from the Youzhou Iron Rider with my superb riding skills!"

While evading the pursuit of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry, I found that the army of Great Wei was less than twenty miles away from Marudu City, and it would take two hours to reach the city of Marudu! ”

After the scout had finished speaking, he knelt in the middle of the hall and said no more.

The first to react was the general Zhao Chi, who said loudly to the king of Dongchuan: "The king, the last general needs to sit in the city tower of the pill capital now, in order to prepare for the attack of the Great Wei!" ”

The king of Dongchuan also woke up at this time, waved his hand and signaled to all the civil and military generals in the main hall, and hurried back to his position, Marudu City was about to face a big battle!

An hour and a half later, Zhao Chi, the general who was on the tower of Marudu City, found the figure of the Great Wei cavalry that appeared from the afterglow of the sunset, and then the Great Wei infantry with no end in sight!

In a trance, the general Zhao Chi felt that the Great Wei army and the Xianbei cavalry seemed to coincide together.

The next moment, the general Zhao Chi suddenly felt cold in his hands and feet, and only one of the eight scouts sent by him came back, and there was no information from the other eight cities to pass on to Marudu City.

There is only one possibility in this situation, that is, the other eight cities have all been destroyed, and now only Marudu City is left as a lonely city!

The general Zhao Chi finally understood everything now, but it was already too late.

"Boyo, Shizai, in front of you is the royal capital of Goguryeo, Marudu, this is a Xiongcheng with a population of 200,000 and 60,000 defenders, but I hope to hold a celebration banquet for my Youzhou soldiers in the palace hall of Marudu City tomorrow night!

Do you have the confidence to do it?! ”

Cheng Yu pointed at the pill capital city that was gilded with a layer of golden red brilliance by the setting sun with a horsewhip, and said in a deep voice to Jiang Wei and Deng Ai beside him.

"General, the last general is willing to use his head as a guarantee, and tomorrow he will let the Great Wei soldiers celebrate in the palace hall of Marudu City!"

Jiang Wei faced Cheng Yu's inquiry, and did not hesitate to make a military order loudly!

Deng Ai was quite excited at this time, knowing that his stuttering would be more serious as soon as he was excited, he didn't speak, just looked at Cheng Yu firmly, and then nodded heavily.

Cheng Yu was very satisfied with Jiang Wei and Deng Ai's bravery and courage, and then laughed: "Hahaha! This is the example of my Great Wei soldiers! ”

Then Cheng Yu turned around and shouted to the Great Wei soldiers behind him: "Tomorrow, the Japanese generals will hold a celebration banquet with you in the palace hall of Marudu City!" ”

The Great Wei soldiers behind Cheng Yu and the three of them also raised their blades in their hands at this time and shouted loudly.

After hearing the cheers of the 400,000-strong army of the Great Wei, the general Zhao Chi and the guards of the city of Marudu all felt their scalps tingle and their mouths were dry.

That night, the Great Wei soldiers did not carry out a feint attack on the city of Marudu or use Shenwei artillery to carry out exhaustion tactics, but set up camp on the spot, cooked and then rested.

The palace hall of Marudu City was brightly lit at this time, and after receiving the report of the general Zhao Chi's guard, King Dongchuan knew how Marudu City could not be defended, and it was only a matter of time before the city was broken......
