The Ghost Lord led the 20,000 Underworld soldiers towards the north gate. The Underworld soldiers behind them cheered and waved their flags. With their cheers, the morale of the 20,000 Underworld soldiers instantly soared!
"The Underworld soldiers are coming!" The ghost guard of Mount Wu Lai shouted from the city gate tower.
"They want to take down our north gate with such a small number of Underworld soldiers? They won't be able to return alive!" When the Commander saw that the Underworld had not mobilized a hundred and fifty thousand soldiers, but only a small portion of them, about twenty thousand Underworld soldiers, he felt that the Underworld had underestimated them.
However, he liked the Underworld's arrogance even more.
Now that all the Mount Wu Lai ghost soldiers knew that they had 200,000 reinforcements, they were all full of fighting spirit. They knew that they were not fighting alone. As long as they held on for a while, their reinforcements would arrive. When that happened, their 150,000 soldiers would be dead soldiers.
In addition, they only had 20,000 Netherworld soldiers attacking them. This bought them more time. Moreover, the pressure on their city defense had lessened significantly. They were even confident that they could destroy these 20,000 Underworld soldiers and dampen their morale.
If they continued to attack the city on such a small scale, they would not even need Lord Wu Jiang's 200,000 reinforcements. They would still be able to keep these 150,000 Underworld soldiers here forever.
Although the 20,000 Underworld soldiers could not compare to the 100,000 soldiers behind them, the scene of 20,000 Underworld soldiers attacking together was still very shocking.
Moreover, although Mount Wu Lai had 70,000 soldiers in Sun Moon City, there were four city gates. It was impossible for all of them to be stationed at the north gate. In addition, the Governor had 10,000 guards by his side, so the 70,000 soldiers were actually divided into five groups.
Of course, because the Underworld army was heading towards the north gate, they had arranged for more guards at the north gate. There were about 30,000 ghost soldiers and 10,000 guards at the other three gates.
Now that 20,000 Underworld soldiers were attacking, coupled with the fact that they already had the advantage in defending the city, the 20,000 Underworld soldiers did not have much of an advantage. The first wave of Underworld soldiers that reached the Sun Moon City gate was instantly killed by a group of guards.
"Everyone, charge! Once we take down Sun Moon City, we will be able to enjoy endless resources. Everyone, kill! Don't let a single enemy escape! " When the Ghost Lord saw that the guards of Mount Wu Lai were so brave and fierce, killing so many Underworld soldiers in an instant, he hurriedly boosted the morale of the Underworld soldiers in front.
"Kill!" Indeed, with the allure of the rewards, the fearful Netherworld Soldiers who were initially fearful of the ferocity of their enemies seemed to have received a boost in strength. Every one of them became incomparably ferocious as they attacked the city gates in a frenzy.
However, although the Netherworld soldiers were brave and fierce, the guards of Mount Wu Lai did not fight them head-on. They were merely defending the city. With the defense of the city gates and city walls, no matter how brave these Netherworld Soldiers were, they would not be able to easily kill their way to the guards on the city walls.
On the other hand, the fate of those Netherworld soldiers who wanted to forcefully attack the tower was obvious. They'd only just charged up when they were swarmed by the numerous guards, and they were annihilated!
However, such a war would never lack cruelty. It was impossible for there to be no death in war.
Therefore, even though Nether Soldiers were constantly being killed, there was still a large number of Nether Soldiers rushing to the top of the city walls. Occasionally, a group of Netherworld soldiers would charge forward, but they would only be able to kill a few guards before they could no longer hold on. In the next moment, their souls would scatter.
20,000 Netherworld soldiers continued to charge up the city walls, but most of them were killed before they could do anything.
Meanwhile, a mile away from Sun Moon City, the Governor of the Netherworld Army was livid. More than half of the 20,000 soldiers had been killed just like that. The morale of the remaining Netherworld soldiers had clearly plummeted, and they no longer had the will to fight.
"Governor, let them retreat. If they continue to fight like this, none of them will be left!" The Deputy Governor seemed to have expected such an outcome.
However, he had an ugly expression on his face as he watched his Netherworld soldiers fall one by one.
"Hmph! Sound the gong! Retreat! " The Governor snorted coldly. Although he was very unwilling, there was no point in continuing the attack. They could only leave as many soldiers as they could.
Woo! Woo!
A special metal horn sounded in the Netherworld Army camp, indicating that they had given the order to retreat.
The remaining 20,000 Netherworld soldiers were overjoyed when they heard this sound. They felt that they were finally free. The ghost soldiers of Mount Wu Lai were too brave. Less than 5,000 of the 20,000 Netherworld soldiers were left. If they continued to fight, they might all die.
However, now that the order to retreat had sounded in the camp, they could finally escape death.
The Ghost Lord commander had an ugly expression on his face. He had boasted earlier that he could easily take down the north gate with 20,000 Netherworld soldiers.
But now, the gates of Sun Moon City were tightly shut, and less than a quarter of his 20,000 Netherworld soldiers were left. The most hateful thing was that although Mount Wu Lai had also sacrificed some Netherworld soldiers, too few of them had been killed.
This was because as long as their Netherworld soldiers charged up the city walls, they would be killed by groups of Mount Wu Lai soldiers. They would not even be able to fight back.
Under such circumstances, how many Mount Wu Lai soldiers could they kill?
"My Lord, I have failed in my mission and failed to live up to your expectations. Please punish me!" The Ghost Lord knew that he would not have a good ending if he did not fulfill the military order.
"Hmph! You piece of trash. Three-quarters of the 20,000 Netherworld soldiers died in your hands, but you did not even manage to touch the north gate. What's the point of keeping you? Drag him away and let me kill him! "The Governor looked at the Ghost Lord in front of him expressionlessly and mercilessly.
He had just said in front of the Deputy Governor that 20,000 Netherworld soldiers were enough to break through the north gate, and this fellow had vowed so confidently that the Governor had believed him. However, he had been slapped in the face now. This was clearly embarrassing him in front of the Deputy Governor. How could he let this fellow off?
"My Lord, spare me! Spare me! " The Ghost Lord's expression changed. He had thought that the Governor would only give him some punishment, but he had never expected that the Governor would directly want his life. This really frightened him, and he quickly begged for mercy.
"Governor, although this lieutenant lost due to carelessness, his crime doesn't warrant death. Governor, please spare his life and let him atone for his crime!" The Deputy Governor didn't expect the Governor to be so hateful to the point of wanting to kill a lieutenant without mercy.
Although he did not think much of this fellow, who was obviously as arrogant and complacent as the Viceroy, it was not easy to obtain a Domain Chief. It would be a pity to kill him just like that. At the very least, it would be worth it to let him kill a few more enemies on the battlefield.
