C295 (2/2)
The garrison on the city wall lazily looked at the distant Han Chinese army. Exhaustion was written all over their faces, and many of the soldiers were even stuttering. For the past ten days, the Han Chinese Army attacked nonstop, regardless of whether it was day or night. The casualties were not great, but they tortured the Gauzeli soldier very much, causing many of the soldiers to fall asleep on the city walls.
”Stand up, stand up. The King is here.” Suddenly, the Generals that was guarding the city heard the sound of messy footsteps. He raised his head and saw that the King Koguryo had arrived, and immediately shouted in fright. If the King saw that they were sleeping, he would definitely kill them.
The Gauzeli soldier s immediately stood up, trying their best to straighten their exhausted bodies. Due to the limited number of soldiers guarding the city walls, they had no choice but to stay on top of the city walls every day. Although they were yawning, they still had to put on a spirited appearance to welcome the king's inspection.
As soon as the soldiers stood up, King Koguryo came over. The soldiers immediately became alert. Turning his head to look, he saw their King, accompanied by Second Prince Gao Yuanzheng personally, walking over with a large group of generals and guards. However, the meticulous Gauzeli soldier found out that the Minister of State who often followed the King Koguryo didn't seem to be by the King's side today.
Gao Yimo tried his best to keep his spirits up, and proudly walked past the city walls. However, he was actually feeling anxious at the moment. He really didn't expect that not too long ago, he still had over four hundred thousand soldiers blocking the Han army outside the country's gates. He never thought that in the blink of an eye, he would have been knocked out of his home and was even faintly facing the danger of losing his country. He really couldn't accept it. His two sons were both capable generals. How could they lose to the Han army?!
Unknowingly, the great battle outside the Gaoguanli had already started for half a month. During this half month, the Han army had held onto the thick walls of the Gaoguanli, but they could only passively defend. They did not have the strength to take the initiative to force the Han army back, and could only hide inside the Gaoguanli, waiting for the final moment to come.
They had only walked a few steps when they stopped. Holding onto the wall stamping, they looked out of the city and muttered to themselves while looking at the Han army: ”Are the Han army crazy? To attack day and night, yet to bluff and retreat at the first touch, what the hell are they doing? ”
”Father, in your son's opinion, this is a strenuous tactic by the Han Army. With so many people, we can rotate our forces to attack the city. With so few people, we don't dare to be careless, so we can only go all out. As a result, after more than ten days, not only were our soldiers exhausted, even some of the ministers couldn't take it anymore. Minister of State has applied for sick leave today, I think he will not be able to hold on much longer. ”
Over the past ten days, Second Prince himself had been exhausted, and he had often had nightmares about Third Prince and Fifth Prince's bloody heads hanging on the southern gate. He would often wake up in the middle of the night.
”Wang'er, be careful. The Han Army has always been good at scheming. Don't let their schemes succeed.” Gao Yimo frowned, and said worriedly: ”Now, only Imperial City is left. If Imperial City falls into the hands of the Han Army, then Gaoguanli is finished.”
”Father, don't worry, my Dian Na Yan Wang City is extremely well-fortified. Even if the Han army were to set up a million corpses, they should forget about attacking us inside the city.” Second Prince raised his head high and said confidently: ”Father should return to the palace. The cavalry of the Han army should start shooting again.”
”The oligarchs aren't going anywhere, just stay here and watch them destroy the Han army!” Gao Yimo had also trained himself from the flames of war, so he did not care about these Arrows. Furthermore, he knew that with him on the city wall, the soldiers' morale was even higher.
Seeing the King Koguryo on the city wall, Yang Lin immediately ordered his cavalry to attack. If they could suddenly shoot Gao Yimo to death, it would definitely cause panic among the warriors of Gaoguanli, maybe they could even take the opportunity to snatch the Wei Na Yan Cheng wall.
The one in charge of the shooting task today was Song Xiang's cavalry brigade. With a wave of his hand, Yang Lin and the others understood what was going on, and immediately led more than ten thousand cavalrymen towards the city wall. He held the crossbow in his hand and aimed at the target on the wall. When they got close to the wall, he shot them all at once.
Song Xiang aimed at Gao Yimo and prepared to kill him with one arrow. If he killed King Koguryo, it would be a huge contribution. However, there were too many personal guards in front of the King Koguryo. After looking around for a long time, he still could not find an opportunity.

”Ding ding ding …”
”Puff puff puff …”
The Arrows s that blotted out the sky shot onto the city walls and ruthlessly nailed themselves onto the guards, producing muffled sounds. The Janissary Guard soldiers who were standing beside the King Koguryo reacted quickly, using their shields and even their own bodies to block the Arrows for Gao Yimo.
