Two gates of the Goguryeo capital were lost, and the Goguryeo defenders were shocked and fled in panic.

Huang Zhong and Xu Huang did not lead their troops to attack the city, but attacked the other two city gates, preparing to capture all the gates.

If the gates of the capital city of Goguryeo were in one's own hands, everything in the city would be a matter of catching a turtle in an urn.

Under the reasonable attacks of the Shenjian Battalion and the Han army, the capital of Goguryeo was quickly defeated. The defenders were either killed in battle, defeated and captured, or turned around and ran away.

The huge city was filled with chaos like a war and chaos.

The common people closed their houses one by one and hid in their homes shivering, hoping that the Han army could bypass them and not kill them all.

The officials in Goguryeo all looked ashen and full of despair.

In any battle, as long as the city is defeated, the people may be able to avoid death, but the generals in the city will end up very miserable.

Unless... they become the leading party and the traitors of Goguryeo, helping the Han army to counterattack their own people.

In the center of the Goguryeo capital was the royal city of the King of Goguryeo. Although it is not as majestic as Liu Chen's Han Palace, it still looks magnificent and magnificent.

But at this time, the situation was not optimistic.

The news that Huang Zhong and Xu Huang had invaded the capital of Goguryeo was immediately spread to the Goguryeo Palace.

The King of Goguryeo sat on the throne, his face ashen and pale:"It's over! It's completely over!"

Many civil and military ministers below were also panic-stricken, and everyone was in danger.

The concubines in the harem were in mourning, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace were already carrying their valuables and preparing to run away.

It’s like a scene of annihilation of the country!

Seeing the desperate expression of the King of Goguryeo, the envoys of Fuyu and Sushen did not gloat.

They clearly got the news that the Han army divided its forces to attack Fuyu and Sushen. Their hometowns were probably not safe, and they couldn't laugh anymore!

The representative of Buyeo said solemnly:"King Goguryeo, there are still 10,000 elite troops stationed in the royal city. The defeated army will fight and retreat to the royal city.

Together with our allied forces from Fuyu and Sushen, the total strength can reach 30,000 to 40,000. We still have You can resist stubbornly and hold on for a while!

The important thing is, is there any other escape route in the capital of Goguryeo?"

Representative Su Shen looked at the King of Goguryeo expectantly.

If they say that when they built the city, they did not leave a secret passage to escape, even if they were killed, they would not believe it!

Even the animals know that you can't put your eggs in one basket, so why don't we humans know this?

Not to mention such a cunning person as the King of Goguryeo.

After hearing what representatives Buyeo and Sushen said, the King of Goguryeo looked a little ugly!

He was ready to wait for representatives Fuyu and Sushen to lead their troops to fight out, hoping to find a way out. Then he used this time to lead his army to escape through the secret passage.

Who knew... they turned out to be old rivals who had fought against Goguryeo for many years. They knew each other very well and were very familiar with each other!

They are all cunning foxes, and no one will be fooled by the other!

The Goguryeo civil and military officials were stunned and looked at the change of face of the King of Goguryeo in disbelief!

It's actually true?!

When the Goguryeo Royal City was built, were there still secret passages left?!

This made all the princes in the court secretly resentful. If they had known earlier, they would have rushed over with their whole family and prepared to run away.

The King of Goguryeo looked at the different expressions of the princes below, and at the sneer-looking representatives of Buyeo and Sushen, and said in a deep voice:"There is indeed a secret passage within the royal city."

Wow!

Everyone was suddenly in an uproar, everyone was excited, breathing rapidly, and their faces were filled with unspeakable expectations!

"However, when our army moves, do you really think that the Han army will not chase us? Either early or late, it's all death anyway, I decided to fight to the death!"

The King of Goguryeo suddenly became courageous and full of ambition, as if he wanted to die for his country.

In fact, he had secretly transported his children out, as long as he could leave the mountains without worrying about having no firewood.

As for himself, the King of Goguryeo was not prepared to escape in the first place. , as the king of Goguryeo, if he disappeared suddenly, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

Since both the left and the right are the word"death", it is better to be brave and not afraid of death, so as not to lose the face of the Goguryeo Kingdom for hundreds of years!

This sudden The change made Representatives Fuyu and Sushen look ugly. They looked at each other and were about to attack when the sound of siege came from outside the royal city.

Rumbling——

"The Han army is attacking the city! Even if we leave now, we will be followed and overtaken by the other party. Just follow me and defend to the death!"

The King of Goguryeo stood up directly. His face was ashen as before, but he was just pretending to be brave and unafraid of death in an instant.

This made everyone's faces look a little ugly!

But in the face of the strong attack of the Han army, they could only hold back. The urge to fight among themselves prevented the Han army from benefiting!

Under the joint discussion of the King of Goguryeo, representatives of Buyeo, and Representative Sushen, they immediately launched the defense of the royal city and guarded the gates on all sides.

The capital of Goguryeo was a binary system , the outer city is guarded by city gates, and the inner city, also known as the royal city, is also guarded by city gates.

And the defenders of the inner city are the elite royal troops of Goguryeo. This is also the last barrier for the capital of Goguryeo.

The soldiers are like fighting with their backs against the water. , stubbornly resisting, each and every one of them united as one, and they were completely unafraid of death!

Because they knew that their Goguryeo had no retreat. Either they failed and the city was destroyed and the country was destroyed, or the civilian defenders in the outer city launched a counterattack and flanked the enemy.

The Han army obviously knew this shortcoming.

Therefore, after Huang Zhong and Xu Huang broke through the capital of Goguryeo, they did not attack the interior of the royal city rashly. Instead, they captured all the city towers on all sides.

Then they followed suit and moved toward the royal city of Goguryeo bit by bit. Cannibalizing!

Among them, it can be said that there are mountains of corpses and rivers of blood. In the outer city of Goguryeo, the blood is flowing like a terrifying river.

The air is filled with the lingering smell of blood. If there are not soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles, the breath will be One bite will make you vomit.

The people in the outer city of the King of Goguryeo can smell the disgusting smell of blood even from across the house.

But they still dare not go out and hide in their homes shivering, hoping that the Han army will let them go..This puts Huang Zhong and Xu Huang in a dilemma!

It is not their original intention to attack the people, but if enemy troops sneak into the people and disguise themselves, wait for them to attack the inner city, and then surround them from the outer city.

Their Han army will be defeated. They were attacked from both front and rear.

Although the forces with their Han army's ability were not afraid of this kind of tactical attack, they would naturally be foolproof if they could reduce casualties. After careful consideration, Huang Zhong and Xu Huang decided to advance slowly and attack the outside world. Conduct a rigorous, carpet-like search of the city!

This will obviously waste a little time, but without massacres and killing innocent people indiscriminately, they can also uncover the Goguryeo enemy troops disguised in people's homes. Kill two birds with one stone!

What's more, they have already captured the outer city of Goguryeo. , seizing the inner city of Goguryeo, also known as the royal city, is just around the corner!

There is no need to rush for a while.

In this steady advancement, there are always one or two Han armies who will be the first to complete the goal, and then launch an attack on the inner city of Goguryeo.

There are also a few Han armies The troops had an unobstructed path forward without any obstructions, and they rushed into the inner city with overwhelming force. The offensive was relatively small at the beginning, after all, carpet searches were a waste of time. But as time passed, more and more The Han army advanced to the gate of the inner city.

Then more and more Han troops launched an offensive against the gate of the inner city.

Seeing that the defensive force of the inner city was unprecedentedly strong, it was difficult to capture the gate of the inner city for a while.

Huang Huang Zhong directly ordered to use local materials to build siege equipment!

Looking at the Goguryeo soldiers on the inner city tower who were united, fearless of death, and fought against the odds, Huang Zhong sighed and said:"Fortunately, their royal city is the inner city!"

Xu Huang also nodded.

For example, their Han Imperial Palace, the outer city, the inner city, and the royal city, were guarded by four barriers in total. They needed to break through four of them in succession before they could enter the Han Emperor's Palace!

In comparison, the capital of Goguryeo seemed a bit crude.. On the contrary, they were a little lucky.

Huang Zhong said again:

"It has been more than a hundred years since the founding of Goguryeo. Although the capital city has undergone many changes, this one has a history of several decades. I wonder if there is a secret way to escape!

Ask the soldiers to search for the city construction drawings of the Ministry of Works. You can also use coercion or inducement to see if the officials know about it. Xu Huang raised his hands and accepted the order:"

General, I understand!""

The inner city could not be captured for a short period of time, so Huang Zhong, Xu Huang and other generals were not in a hurry, allowing all the soldiers to take turns to rest and recharge their batteries!

When dawn broke, the sun shone all over the Goguryeo capital, and the defenders on the inner city towers The officers and soldiers glanced at each other, and their expressions were horrified!

They saw that the road to the outer city was covered with corpses, and blood gathered together like a river.

Although most of them were Goguryeo soldiers, there were also some accidental casualties. The common people and the families of officials.

Even if the Han army claims to be the army of benevolence and righteousness, it is impossible to completely guarantee that the common people will not be harmed.

What's more, these are Goguryeo people, not the Han people, even if they accidentally kill and injure so many innocent people, they will not be blamed in any way!

This is war!

A war full of blood and killing!

For the Goguryeo soldiers, it was full of hatred for the destruction of their country and their family. Their blood surged and they wanted to eat the Han army alive.

But for the Han army, they were about to break through. The enemy's capital is about to capture the Goguryeo royal family!

The Han Dynasty Youzhou Liaodong borders Goguryeo, and countless Han people on the border died under the Goguryeo army.

Some families were broken up, their wives were separated, and some were slaughtered directly. All the food and grass resources

Even men were plundered and used as coolies, and women were plundered and used as slaves. There are countless tragic things that are too tragic to be described. Now the Han army is overwhelming, and they have invaded the city of Goguryeo and marched to the city. Waiting for the future of Goguryeo, it will be the end of the country and the destruction of the family!

They Angry, because they are losers!

If they were in a different place and Goguryeo attacked the Han Palace, I believe they would not be more benevolent and righteous than the Han army, they would be even more cruel!

This is just a war between two hostile forces.

It doesn’t matter. Whether it is benevolent or not, it has nothing to do with right or wrong!

Even if the Han army massacred all Goguryeo, Liu Chen would not blame them. Because as the Han emperor, he only needs to be responsible for his own people. He will not remain silent even to foreign enemies. Be kind!

On the battlefield, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself!

In the midst of mutual hostility and different emotions, time continues to fly, and the sky is completely bright.

Even if it is bright, but the outer city of Goguryeo The common people still didn't go out, even the smoke didn't rise, and obviously they didn't even cook.

In this situation where the country was ruined and the family was ruined, they seemed so powerless, and they were only left to survive.

Huang Zhong sighed,""The rise and fall of the people are suffering", and he turned his attention to the siege equipment that gradually appeared in the distance.

There were ladders, catapults, ballistas, etc.

These were the defeated troops in the outer city of Goguryeo. When they retreated to the inner city, they had no time to bring them with them. It was transformed from walking ordnance.

The Han army used local materials and relied on practice to make perfect, and quickly built siege equipment.

Naturally, the defenders of Goguryeo's inner city also saw it. They swallowed a gulp of saliva and understood that a more brutal siege battle was about to take place. Here it comes.

The fighting will and morale that originally stood against the odds and united as one, gradually disappeared as the night passed.

Now seeing this scene, only fear and despair remain!

Finally.

At noon, the Han army drank After they were full, they started to attack the city again.

They first used trebuchets to attack. The tops were not huge rocks because they could not be found in the city for the time being, but fragmented drill blocks, iron nails, etc.

Phew - when such fragmented stones and iron The nails, following the rapid shooting of the trebuchet, flew like a rain of arrows.

The attack power may not be as good as an arrow, but it is still very painful when it hits the body. If it is pierced by an iron nail, not only the wound will become infected, but also the combat strength will be greatly damaged.

This is obviously just a harassment attack by the Han army!

After more than ten times in a row, under the shock of the inner city defenders, the Han army actually tore down the courtyard wall and mounted it on a trebuchet.

This time, a huge area of ​​​​bricks fell, finally causing damage to the inner city tower.

The Goguryeo defenders hid in panic for fear of being hit.

In addition to trebuchets, there were also ballistae, which aimed at the city gate and bombarded it indiscriminately. If one part was hit continuously, even the city wall would be broken, let alone the wooden door.

At the same time, with this fire suppression, the Han army launched another attack.

This orderly offensive method temporarily suppressed the counterattack of the Goguryeo army.

Their physical fitness was not as good as that of the Han army, and they were retreating steadily.

Under the continuous onslaught of siege equipment, one gate of the inner city only lasted for two hours before being blown open with a loud bang!

The tightly guarded inner city was finally torn open.

Huang Zhong and other generals were overjoyed. They immediately attacked and blasted open the gate of the inner city. The army entered directly and forcefully. Finally, they were able to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Goguryeo enemy.
