Chapter 375 Seeing the City Wall Collapse, Seeing the White Flag Raised
Chapter 375
"It's collapsed, the city wall, the city wall is collapsing!" Finally, a Sui army soldier reacted.
More and more eyes were attracted, and they all saw a section of the city wall about ten feet long that was being bombarded intensively in Liaodong City, and finally they could no longer withstand it.
It began to collapse, and the bricks and stones fell one after another, as well as the smoke and dust raised by the collapse of the soil, reflecting the evening sun.
From top to bottom, it was only about ten feet at the beginning, and gradually collapsed to a width of almost three feet.
And the collapse continued until it was finally five or six feet away from the ground.
At this moment, a general of the Sui Army who saw this scene immediately ordered the gate of the camp to be opened, and let groups of Sui Army soldiers rush out of the camp gate and start forming formations.
After staying up all night and supervising the battle all morning, Yu Wenshu returned to his tent and fell asleep. He was also jolted awake by the sound of the city wall collapsing.
He hurriedly put on his outer clothes and stood outside the Chinese army's tent. When he saw the huge gap in the Liaodong city wall, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
"Commander, General Jiang has just led five thousand elites out of the camp. Let the last general come and report to the commander, when will the attack be launched?"
"No hurry, just wait..." Yu Wenshu's eyes swept across the city wall, except for the collapsed section.
Several other city walls that had been attacked intensively had also been smashed to pieces, but could barely maintain their height.
I believe it won’t be long before we will follow in the footsteps of this section of the city wall.
"Send an order for General Mai to lead 10,000 elites out of the camp and form a formation, and General Qian Lang to lead the army to the southeast corner to form a standby..."
As Yu Wenshu's military order was issued, the entire camp, which was originally noisy due to the collapse of the Liaodong City wall, became even more lively.
#####
Soon, 25,000 elite Sui troops came out of the city and formed an array, staring at the collapsed city walls.
At this time, after receiving the news, No Eulji Mundeok, the commander-in-chief, who rushed over on horseback, saw the huge gap in the collapsed city wall far away in the city.
In the city, apart from the cries of the people and the wails of the dead and wounded, the morale of the soldiers was extremely low.
Goguryeo's tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians spent more than half a year reinforcing the city's defenses in Liaodong City.
But in the end, half a year's hard work was all in vain in just two days.
Eulji Mundeok, who was livid, saw outside the gap, a stone bullet flying into the city from here.
With a dull roar, it hit a house several feet away, although the aftermath could not be seen.
However, I saw billowing smoke and dust rolling into the sky, and dense sounds of collapse and impact came one after another.
Eulji Munduk's heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness. The sharpness of such weapons was beyond human power...
Before he could finish sighing, he heard a continuous loud noise from far behind him, like the sky falling and the earth collapsing.
Eulji Mundeok looked back in astonishment and saw smoke and dust billowing about thirty feet to the left of the gap in the collapsed city wall.
Countless bricks and stones were collapsing. The flying bricks and stones even flew several feet away, and the entire city wall seemed to be shaking.
Countless soldiers and civilians were so shocked that they fled in all directions. This lasted for more than ten breaths. When the smoke gradually dispersed, another huge collapse crack with a width of three to five feet appeared.
Outside the city, the cheers and shouts of countless Sui people were enough to change the color of the world.
Yuwenshu, who had put on his armor again and sat behind the command platform, saw this situation and couldn't help but stand up and laughed heartily.
Pointing at the Liaodong city wall, he shouted sternly, "I have a million-strong army in the Sui Dynasty to fight against an unsubordinated country. Now the Liaodong city has been destroyed. Send me the commander's military order to prepare to attack the city!"
"Tell General Mai that when he sets up his flag at the head of Liaodong City, I will personally pour him wine."
"promise!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another loud sound that shook the earth and the mountains, and the Liaodong city wall collapsed again, leaving a huge gap.
As if not to be outdone, the fourth and fifth cracks appeared almost at the same time.
A group of Sui generals standing on the high platform were smiling happily.
"Yesterday, the city wall of Liaodong City seemed so indestructible, but within two days, it actually collapsed.
I am so happy, so happy, to have this thunderous chariot invented by Zheng Guogong."
"From now on, there will be no city that I, the Great Sui Tiger, cannot conquer and no pass that I cannot capture."
Just when Yuwenshu was in high spirits, he was expecting the tigers and warriors of the Sui Dynasty to break into the gap in the city wall and enter Liaodong City.
But I heard a greeting. "Commander, Commander, look there, the white flag, the white flag has been raised in Liaodong City..."
"..." Yu Wenshu stared blankly at the Liaodong city wall, and cautiously stretched out the waving white flag.
"What do you mean? The Goguryeo people are about to surrender like this?" A general next to him also looked dumbfounded.
Damn it! What the hell does this mean? I, the Great Sui Dynasty, are still in formation, and before I have time to attack, you Goguryeo surrendered like this?
Do you still talk about professional ethics? Do you talk about integrity and continue to fight to the end?
#####
"Commander, do we want to continue attacking the city?"
The right guard general Zhang Jin turned his head in pain and asked Yu Wenshu, who was still stunned.
Ahead, as more and more city walls were blasted, the morale of the craftsmen and soldiers of the Wanjun Thunderbolt Chariot increased greatly, and they subconsciously speeded up the pace.
Yuwenshu stared blankly at the stone bullets that were still flying towards Liaodong City one after another.
Just as he was about to speak, he felt as if the ground was shaking, and he raised his head.
Then I saw the battered east gate urn of Liaodong City. With fierce roars, the entire city collapsed into a pile of ruins.
The entire city gate was completely blocked, and the tall gate tower behind the urn city could no longer support itself as the ground shook violently, and the whole city collapsed...
Its collapse, in an instant, the news of the previous collapse of the east city wall has been transmitted to other sect camps.
This huge shock, as well as the cheers of the Sui troops in the East Day Camp, also aroused the cheers of hundreds of thousands of Sui tigers and soldiers in response.
"Send the order, stop attacking." Yu Wenshu took a deep breath and could only say with regret.
Facing those unwilling eyes, Yu Wenshu's face darkened.
"Your Majesty has a decree. If Goguryeo surrenders, it should be appeased and accepted, and no more troops should be launched to attack."
"Let General Mai wait for the troops to stay where they are, eh? Why did the Wanjun Thunderbolt also stop? Why don't you continue?"
The general who went to deliver the order couldn't help but be a little confused. "But General, didn't you say to stop the attack?"
Yu Wenshu glared at the idiot angrily and shouted.
"Your Majesty's decree is that I cannot wait to launch an attack. Didn't you see that I have ordered General Mai to stop?"
