As the city gates were breached, Meng Shan led his ten thousand Meng Army soldiers into the city, crushing all the Goguryeon soldiers who resisted with unstoppable momentum!
The Goguryeon commanders in the new city had gathered five thousand Goguryeon soldiers with great difficulty, and just as they were about to launch an attack on the Meng Army, Meng Shan suddenly led the Meng Army and charged forward.
Over ten thousand cavalrymen charged into the Goguryeon army at an unstoppable speed. The Meng Army only needed to brandish their Qin halberds to easily take the lives of the Goguryeon soldiers!
The battlefield was completely one-sided. The Meng Army was crushing the Goguryeon army with an invincible momentum, and in less than two hours, the Goguryeon army in the new city had completely collapsed!
Some surrendered, some fled, and some died. By the time the captives were counted, the Goguryeon army of twenty thousand soldiers was reduced to less than ten thousand men.
Of course, less than half of the Goguryeon soldiers had been killed. Most of them had either escaped from the new city in the darkness or disguised themselves as Goguryeon citizens and hid!
When Piao Shouxin saw that he could not defend the new city, he led his army and chose to surrender. This was also why Meng Shan was able to end the battle within two hours and gather a large number of surrendered soldiers!
By dawn, the flames of war in the new city had gradually died down. Without the knowledge of the Goguryeon soldiers and civilians, Meng Shan, with the help of the surrendered Goguryeon general Park Shouxin, had successfully taken over the new city.
……
next morning
City Lord's Mansion
Meng Shan looked down at the new city's general who had his head lowered. He pondered for a moment and said," General Piao, the new city has now become my master's territory. I hope you won't make a mistake!"”
"Otherwise, my sharp sword will not show mercy!”
After Meng Shan finished speaking, he pulled out the sword at his waist and suddenly slashed at a table in front of him. The table was directly cut into two by the sharp sword!
This scene caused the Goguryeon general, Park Shouxin, to tremble slightly. He subconsciously turned to Meng Shan and said,"I swear my loyalty to my lord! I swear with my life!"”
"Very good!"
"Now that the army has gathered outside the city, you will follow me to the inner city and assist my Lord in attacking the inner city!”
Meng Shan smiled when he saw this. He put away his sword and patted Park Shouxin's shoulder.
However, his words made Park Shouxin's face stiffen. He still wanted to attack the inner city with them?
If he really did that, he would have no place in Goguryeo anymore!
When Meng Shan saw that Piao Shouxin had yet to make a move, his face sank and he coldly said,"What?" Does General Piao have any objections?"
"I have no objections."
"This general is willing to take down the inner city on behalf of the general!”
Shouxin Park's body trembled slightly as he hurriedly replied.
"Very good, let's go. I believe that the army has already gathered!”When Meng Shan saw this, he withdrew his gloomy face and took the lead to walk out!
Piao Shouxin sighed. He understood that he could only survive if he attacked the inner city with this unknown army!
As for serving the country?
As long as he could survive, he wouldn't care about Goguryeo!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have surrendered under the pressure of the Meng Army yesterday!
Meng Shan knew this as well, which was why he had brought Park Shouxin away. He was worried about him, but this man was the first Goguryeon general to surrender, so he couldn't be killed so easily. Otherwise, Yang Yi wouldn't be able to take down any of Goguryeon's cities so easily!
After all, surrendering was death, and not surrendering was also death. It was better to fight. Who knows, maybe they could still live?
This was the ugliness of human nature!
……
Outside the new city, the seventeen thousand Meng Army soldiers and the five thousand Goguryeon soldiers formed a formation. It was easy to see the difference between the two sides!
The soldiers of the Goguryeon army were scattered and whispering among themselves, while the Meng Army was in a neat formation. From this, one could see how strict the rules of the Meng Army were!
Suddenly, several cavalry charged out from the city gates. It was none other than the Meng Army Commander Meng Shan, the Goguryeon general Park Shouxin, and Li Zhi, who had been assigned by Meng Shan to guard the new city!
A few riders steadily stopped in front of the army. Meng Shan sternly instructed Li Zhi,"I'll leave the new city to you. Don't lose it!"”
"Commander, don't worry. I promise to protect the new city with my life!”
"The city is here, the people are here. If the city dies, the people die!"
Li Zhi said solemnly.
Meng Shan nodded his head slightly when he heard this. After which, he brought Piao Shouxin back into the army. He glanced at the 3,000 Meng Army soldiers on the new city and waved his hand. Immediately, 17,000 Meng Army soldiers charged towards the inner city!
At the same time, Xu An, who had taken down Blackbone City, left behind 2,000 soldiers to guard the city. He then led 8,000 soldiers towards the inner city!
This was the plan that they had agreed on before. After taking down the target city, they would leave a portion of their troops to guard the city and gather in the inner city!
Currently, Blackbone City and the new city had already fallen. The only city left from Yang Yi's second target was the inner city!
Due to the distance, Yang Yi and Li Cunxiao had only just arrived near the inner city when the new city and Black Bone City were captured!
Thus, a new round of battle began!
The flames of war burned once again!
