Under the New City
Chen Qingzhi was dressed in a milky-white Confucian general's robe. A three-foot-long sword hung at his waist. He looked at the black-armored cavalrymen holding ladders and doing their best to climb the new city's walls. A glint flashed in his eyes.”
One after another, the black-armored guards in heavy black armor seemed to ignore the tens of kilograms of black armor as they nimbly climbed up the new city wall!
At the same time, arrows were shot down from the city gate tower, shooting into the black armored army that was attacking the city!
The arrow that could easily pierce through cloth armor hit the thick armor of the guard. With a bang, it left a white mark on the thick armor and fell to the ground!
Apart from their fierce battle strength, the defensive power of their black armor was also one of the reasons why they could increase their survival rate in battle!
Every black armored horseman wore black iron armor that covered their entire body. Other than some joints, eyes, and other places, even the horses were covered by a thin layer of black armor!
Just like the arrows shot down from the new city, unless there was a master archer or a fierce general with unparalleled divine strength, they would only hit the key points of the black iron armor on the black armored cavalry or directly hit the face!
And every single one of the black-armored guards had already been protecting their faces, joints, and other vital parts!
Thus, even though the arrows rained down on the new city, there were very few that could cause any real damage to the black armored guards!
After this round of arrow rain, other than one unlucky black armored guard who was shot in the face, the other thousand black armored guards were not injured!
Of course, wearing such a heavy black armor to fight, the physical strength requirement for each black armored guard was extremely high!
Even at the peak of the Great Tang's strength, the black-armored cavalry would only number a hundred thousand!
One could see how precious those black-armored cavalry were!
……
Under the protection of the black iron armor, the black armored guards quickly carried the ladder and rushed to the new city wall!
One after another, scaling ladders rose into the sky and were placed on the city walls of the new city!
On the other end of the ladder, there were two sharp hooks. After the ladder was placed on the new city wall, it only hooked the city wall to prevent it from being easily pushed open!
"Kill them!"
A black-armored guard shouted when the first ladder was steadily placed on the new city wall. He held a spear in one hand and quickly climbed up with the other!
The thick and heavy black armor was like a thin armor at this moment. It did not affect the movements of the black armored guard at all!
Below the ladder, there were two more black armored guards, firmly holding down the bottom of the ladder to provide stability!
At the same time, scaling ladders had been set up on the city walls of the new city. A group of black-armored guards wearing thick black armor began to climb up the city walls of the new city!
Just as the Goguryeon soldiers on the city walls were about to push open the scaling ladders, Chen Qingzhi, who had been observing the battlefield, suddenly sneered and waved his hand!
Immediately, the mysterious armored guards who were mixed in with the battlefield spread Chen Qingzhi's order throughout the entire battlefield!
In the next moment, the thousands of black-armored cavalrymen, who were waiting in formation, picked up their black iron longbows from their horses and pulled them to the max!
In the next moment, thousands of arrows that emitted a cold light shot out instantly!
They shot towards the Goguryeon soldiers on the city walls!
The thousands of sharp arrows that emitted a cold light instantly arrived on the city wall of the new city!
The sharp arrows emitted a cold light as they instantly tore through the thin armor of the Goguryeon soldiers!
The scene of the Goguryeon soldiers shooting their arrows at the black-armored guards didn't happen!
On the city wall, under the baptism of thousands of arrows, hundreds of people instantly died. The originally dense city defense was instantly cleared by half!
The new city itself was only a small city, and there was a limit to the space on the city walls. It could only accommodate a thousand Goguryeon soldiers at a time!
After the rain of arrows, cracks instantly appeared on the defense of the new city, which had lost nearly half of its members!
And just as the new city general was about to order the Goguryeon soldiers to quickly take up the position, another volley of arrows came!
Some of the faster Goguryeon soldiers were lucky enough to avoid the rain of arrows, while some of the slower ones were struck by the arrows!
In particular, some of the unlucky Goguryeon soldiers were like porcupines, their bodies riddled with arrows that emitted a cold light!
At the same time, the black armored guards who had been doing their best to climb the ladder also took advantage of the moment when the defense force on the new city wall was greatly weakened to successfully climb up and begin a close combat!
