The Korean sailor army, wearing fine armor, began to advance in a show of force. For them, the city wall in front of them was not much stronger than an earthen fence that could fall down with one push.

"Array up!"

"attack!"

"Come on!"

"Come on!"

The crossbow formation continued to advance in an orderly manner, one legion after another, and the military flags fluttered like a violent tide in the sea.

The tremendous pressure caused the hands of the frontline defenders in Taihai City to tremble slightly as they held their weapons to defend the city, and sweat continued to roll down their foreheads.

"The whole army holds steady, those who run away die!"

Liu Donglai, the second-grade border official, had glaring eyes and suppressed the fear in his heart. Wu Jun's chain of military formations stopped about 300 meters in front of Taihai City. The battle flags were flying and their morale was like a rainbow.

A long-range battle with the crossbowmen of the Korean army, the overlord of the sea, is definitely the most terrifying thing in the world.

…

The average longbow archer of the Wei Empire can shoot between 180 and 200 meters. If there is a favorable wind, the range can reach about 245 meters.

As for the strong bows and crossbows of the Wu army, after countless sea battles, many times absorbing the experience of other overseas countries, and countless improvements, they can reach at least a range of about 280 meters.

If there is a tailwind, it can reach a terrifying range of about 320 meters.

Don't underestimate the difference in range of just a few dozen meters. In the era of cold weapons, it can determine the outcome of a war and the life and death of soldiers on both sides.

Tonight, the cold wind hit his face head-on. Liu Donglai's heart was filled with coldness at this moment. The other party's tailwind!

The weather, time, and people are not on the same level at all, and I only have the advantage of the location.

When both warring parties fire a volley of thousands of arrows at the same time, the ones who fall must be their own soldiers.

…

However, this is a life and death battle. No one can choose to retreat, and no one will allow you to retreat, not even him!

"Raise the crossbow!" Rows of Korean soldiers lined up in a straight line, raised their heavy bows and crossbows, and aimed neatly in one direction!

"shoot!"

At the military order, countless arrow clusters leaped from the military formation like a swarm of locusts, filling the sky in an instant.

The cold light on the arrows fell from the pure white sky, bang! bang! bang! It was dense like rain, and most of it fell on the city wall.

Ah! Ah! Ah!

Bright red blood splashed half a foot into the sky, and a burst of blood-colored rain fell, dyeing the city red.

On top of the city wall, countless corpses have been piled up, blocking the passage. Maybe in the future, someone will discover that there are mountains of corpses in this city, full of blood, all over the city, and no one is alive.

Below the city, the shouts of killing were deafening...

Tens of thousands of soldiers surrounded the city with thick and solid walls, and the four walls were erected with high ladders.

Countless soldiers clung to it, and with the help of the dense rain of arrows from strong bowmen and crossbowmen, they raised their shields high, their bodies were like apes, and their hands and feet were quick to move up.

The rolling stones and wood on the city wall splashed boiling oil down as if they were free of charge. The soldiers on the ladder who could not avoid it let out bursts of pitiful screams after being hit, and they fell like dumplings one after another.

There was also a strong warrior with a steel knife in his hand and a ferocious face. He jumped on the city wall and cut off the heads of five people in one breath.

But then, he was shot through the body by hundreds of arrows and fell to the ground dead.

Boo hoo hoo…

Han Han stood silently on the chariot behind the military formation, and the sea breeze blew through the woods nearby, making a whimpering sound.

The smell of blood filled the nose, and the city wall bricks had long been replaced by the red color of blood...

The bloody scene in front of him and the constant screams reminded him of his unbearable past. At that time, he was just a child of a poor fisherman's family. Later, his whole family was massacred by pirates, leaving him helpless.

At that time, I could be said to be extremely miserable, so desperate that I almost committed suicide.

All the changes originated from the first time he tremblingly took out a knife to kill people. Different choices will bring different endings.

No one knows what will happen in the next second, and the future is ever-changing.

Who would have thought that an orphan back then would become the powerful King of Korea today.

Over time, the battlefield changed.

The remaining soldiers who defended the city were killed and fell back again and again. The Korean army pounced on them ferociously, slashing them mercilessly with the weapons in their hands.

The bodies of the soldiers defending the city fell down, blood spattered, screams continued, and the battle line showed a one-sided trend.

The violent sound of fighting sounded like it was instantly ignited.

Facing the Korean soldiers with rich combat experience and ruthless tactics, the tenacious resistance of the Taihae City soldiers was barely able to hold on. After just half an hour, it almost collapsed.

A cold light flashed on the battlefield, blood splattered everywhere, countless swords slashed and spears stabbed, and the remaining defenders of Taihai City fell like wheat, one by one.

the other side.

Liu Donglai, the second-grade border official, slowly pushed away the two lieutenants who tried to pull him away.

At this moment, he looked at the wolf-like Korean soldiers outside the city and said calmly but without doubt: "The only solution now is to fight to the death. As a great history of the empire's frontiers, I have never given up."

There is a precedent for fleeing from the city, and I am no exception."

"Besides, Taihai City has been surrounded by enemy troops from top to bottom. We can't escape even if we want to. It's even too late to surrender now."

"Today, even if you are outnumbered and die in battle, you must live up to the empire's seal of honor before you die!"

The civil and military officials surrounding Liu Donglai all put away their little thoughts after listening to Liu Donglai's words.

Yes, the whole city was slaughtered! Hundreds of thousands of people couldn't escape, how could a few of them escape?

However, although their spirit of putting life and death at risk is commendable, they are still helpless. After all, courage cannot be eaten, and it is impossible to defend this city.

…

Just at this time, Liu Donglai suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon. The panicked city residents running around like headless flies turned out to be all old, weak, sick and disabled.

It is very rare to see a man in his prime, as if he suddenly disappeared from the world, which is very unusual.

Just when Liu Donglai was puzzled, thousands of strong men wearing civilian clothes and holding shovels and shovels came over in the direction facing him with great fanfare.

The military officers surrounding Liu Donglai were certainly not fools, and they all picked up their swords and guns and pointed them at the civilians.

The dozen or so well-dressed disciples from famous families in front suddenly raised their hands high, but there were no weapons in their hands.

One of the young men wearing a jade pendant shouted loudly: "My own people, my own people, don't get excited. Is that the second-grade border ambassador Liu Donglai in front of you? We are the people of Taihai City. We heard that there was an enemy invasion, so we gathered here specially.

Get up and come to obey orders and resist foreign enemies."

A group of military officers

As soon as they heard this, they immediately relaxed and put down their swords and guns one after another, with a trace of joy appearing on their faces.

Now that the situation is so bad, adding such a new force is a timely help, so they are all extremely happy.

Because there are thousands of strong men around, maybe they still have the last glimmer of hope.

Liu Donglai frowned and shouted: "How many of you are there in total? Who organized you? Why are you here? Stop!"

All the military officers were shocked when they heard this and picked up their swords and guns one after another, but it was already a step too late.

"There is nothing we can do. Don't blame us, adults. We just want to survive. Let's do it."

The leader of the family, the head of the family, Song Zhongxing, was at the front, followed by more than a hundred hunters holding wooden bows and arrows. At the same time, they loosened their bow strings and shot more than a hundred arrows at once.

Caught off guard, more than a dozen civilians and military officers were all killed by random arrows. The remaining civilians and military officers who were lucky enough to survive also fell to the ground one after another, suffering injuries of varying severity.

…

When these strong men saw this, they tied up all the surviving civil servants and military officers. Of course, the most important one was Liu Donglai, the second-rank official and border official.

Liu Donglai, who was tied up, looked at the strong men in civilian clothes around him. He was slightly startled at first, and then after a long time he sighed and said: "It's all for survival, that's right. How can there be so many people in this world who are not afraid of death?"

people?"

…

Half an hour later, Song Zhongxing led Liu Donglai and other people to the stand of King Han Han.

Song Zhongxing had a flattering smile on his face and said in an extremely humble manner: "Your Majesty, we have abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side. We have kidnapped all the civil and military officials in Taihai City. Can you spare me and the other people in the city?"

The officers in front of Han Hanjia burst into laughter upon hearing this, looking at these people with great ridicule.

George Han looked at them with contempt and disdain, his eyes like sharp swords, sweeping over their faces one by one.

After giving a cold shout, he said: "Hmph, when did I promise you that after catching these civil servants and military officers, I would let you go?"

"Taihai City is already in my possession, why should I use such despicable means to tarnish my name as a king!"

"What's more, my soldiers fought tooth and nail to capture this city. If you don't massacre this city and vent your anger, how do you want me to explain it to my soldiers?"

"Your Majesty, you...what do you mean?"
