"promise!!"

The generals responded in unison.

After Huangfu Song, the commander-in-chief, made some arrangements, the officers dispersed excitedly, preparing for the final battle the next day.

The next morning, as dawn broke, the soldiers, having eaten their fill, split into four groups under the leadership of their respective officers and marched out of their camps to surround the city.

As the sun rose, the Goguryeo soldiers on the city wall came to the battlements, yawning.

"The Han army has attacked the city!!"

Looking at the densely packed Han soldiers outside the city, their shrill cries echoed across the city walls.

"Knock knock knock~!"

Immediately afterwards, the sound of war drums rang out.

"emission!!"

Huangfu Song in the south of the city, Xu Rong in the east, Zhu Jun in the west, and Gao Shun in the north all issued their orders almost simultaneously.

One hundred and fifty catapults simultaneously launched stones weighing up to two hundred pounds with a teeth-grinding "creaking" sound.

The boulders rained down on the four city gates.

Is this divine punishment?

Seeing the flying stones, the Goguryeo soldiers on the city wall froze in place, their minds blank.

"boom!!"

A stone struck the battlement directly, sending countless pebbles flying and rolling down the city wall, killing more than a dozen Goguryeo soldiers instantly.

Many soldiers were smashed into mincemeat, a gruesome sight. The surviving Goguryeo soldiers then came to their senses and hurriedly scattered and fled, trying to escape what they saw as divine punishment.

Within a few breaths, nearly two thousand defenders were crushed to death, more than ten thousand soldiers were injured by flying debris, and the city wall was also smashed into several large craters.

Just as the Goguryeo soldiers were relieved that the rain of stones had stopped, the catapults outside the city resumed their attack, and another 150 stones came hurtling down.

"Run away!"

Faced with the unstoppable and uncounterable catapults, the Goguryeo defenders' psychological defenses collapsed instantly, and they fled towards the city walls, clutching their heads.
