The Underworld's first attack on the city had failed and they had lost over 10,000 Underworld soldiers.
Although these 10,000 Underworld soldiers were nothing compared to their 150,000-strong army, the defeat in the siege this time was a huge blow to the morale of the Underworld army.
"Governor, I've already said that Mount Wu Lai is not that simple since they were able to occupy Sun Moon City. Don't underestimate them." The Deputy Governor was not in the mood to attack the Governor, but he had to remind him once again to wake him up.
"Then, according to Deputy Commander-In-Chief's meaning, do you want me to use 150,000 soldiers to attack the north gate? I can't afford to lose face like that! "Although the Governor regretted his decision, he was not willing to show it.
"Although we don't need to use all our troops to attack the city, we need at least 50,000 soldiers to ensure that we can successfully attack the North Gate!" The Deputy Governor said.
This was because there were only 70,000 soldiers in Sun Moon City. However, he was certain that not all of them were at the northern gate.
Therefore, even if they deployed most of their troops at the North Gate, there would not be more than 50,000. It was more than enough for them to use 50,000 Underworld soldiers to attack the city. There was no way they would end up in such a tragic situation again.
"50,000? Are you sure that 50,000 soldiers can take down the North Gate? "The Governor looked at the Deputy Governor doubtfully.
After all, Mount Wu Lai's performance had indeed shocked him. He had indeed underestimated Mount Wu Lai's strength, so he was starting to doubt his own judgment.
If they failed to attack the city again, their morale would drop even further. Even his prestige among the army would plummet.
"There are only 70,000 soldiers in the city. They can't possibly deploy all 70,000 soldiers at the North Gate. The other three gates will definitely have soldiers guarding them. Therefore, 50,000 Underworld soldiers should be enough to attack the North Gate. If there are more, it would be superfluous, "the Deputy Commander-In-Chief said confidently.
Attacking a city was not always about having more troops. It would be beneath their dignity if they used all their troops at the beginning. Moreover, the Underworld was the ruler of the Dark Dark Realm. It would be too embarrassing if they used 130,000 soldiers just to take down the North Gate of Sun Moon City.
Therefore, fifty thousand soldiers was not a lot, but according to his estimation of the distribution of Mount Wu Lai's forces in Sun Moon City, it was more than enough to take down the northern gate.
"Alright! Since the Deputy Commander is so confident, then we'll do as you say this time! "This time, the Governor didn't argue with the Deputy Commander and agreed readily.
This was because he felt that this suggestion was made by the Deputy Commander-In-Chief. Hence, if the siege really failed, he would have an excuse to blame everything on the Deputy Commander-In-Chief.
Soon, the 50,000 Netherworld soldiers were arranged again. However, this time, the Viceroy did not use the previous Ghost Venerable to lead the army. Instead, he replaced it with another Ghost Venerable.
The 50,000 Netherworld soldiers were clearly much more cautious in their attack this time. Even when they approached the north city gate, they didn't immediately rush up the city gate tower.
Under the command of Lieutenant Ghost Lord, they first concentrated all their forces to attack the city gate. However, the city gates were very sturdy. Even though a large number of Nether Soldiers were continuously attacking it, they were still unable to break through the northern city gates.
However, under the continuous attacks of the 50,000 Netherworld soldiers, the Mount Wu Lai guards on top of the city gate tower could clearly sense that the atmosphere had become tense.
The momentum of the 50,000 Netherworld soldiers' attack was not just for show. Although they had already won a battle, the number of enemies now had more than doubled, so the pressure was naturally much greater.
Moreover, the northern city gate was constantly shaking under the constant attacks of the 50,000 Netherworld soldiers. Fortunately, the Underworld had spent a lot of effort to build Sun Moon City and had built it very sturdy. Otherwise, it would have been broken through by the 50,000 Netherworld soldiers a long time ago.
"Deputy Commander-In-Chief, 50,000 Netherworld soldiers don't seem to be enough!" The Viceroy couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw that the newly dispatched 50,000 soldiers had been attacking the northern city gate for a long time without breaking through.
"Viceroy, this is only the beginning. The best part is yet to come. The northern city gate must be broken through!" Compared to the Viceroy's anxiety, the Deputy Commander-In-Chief was clearly much calmer.
Sure enough, the Lieutenant Ghost Lord started to mobilize the Netherworld soldiers again. Half of the Netherworld soldiers suddenly stopped attacking the city gate and set their target on the city gate tower.
"Go!" The Ghost Lords all had cold expressions on their faces as they gave the order. The first batch of Netherworld soldiers began to rush up the city gate tower.
"The Netherworld soldiers are attacking! Everyone, hurry up and kill them!" The guards on the city gate tower were already very nervous because of the 50,000 Netherworld soldiers' forceful attack.
Now that they saw more Netherworld soldiers rushing up the city gate tower, many of the guards became even more nervous. They were prepared to kill the Netherworld soldiers that had rushed up the city gate tower like before.
Of course, as the first batch of Netherworld soldiers who had just rushed up did not have much effect. They were easily killed by the Mount Wu Lai's guards.
However, this time, the Netherworld soldiers were not as chaotic as before. Just as the first batch of Netherworld soldiers rushed up the city gate tower, the second batch immediately rushed up.
Therefore, before the first batch of Netherworld soldiers that had rushed up the city gate tower had been completely killed, the second batch had also successfully rushed up the city gate tower.
Under such circumstances, the situation on the city gate tower was no longer one-sided. As more than 20,000 Netherworld soldiers were still attacking the city gate, Mount Wu Lai had no choice but to arrange for a sufficient number of guards to hold off the city gate. Hence, there were not as many guards on the city gate tower as before.
Moreover, the Netherworld soldiers were constantly rushing up the city gate tower in an orderly manner, making it impossible for the Mount Wu Lai's guards to kill the Netherworld soldiers that had rushed up. Hence, the number of Netherworld soldiers on the city gate tower gradually increased.
"Everyone, hold on! Kill all the Netherworld soldiers!" The general guarding the North Gate of Mount Wu Lai shouted. When he saw that the situation was no longer as smooth as before, he hurriedly encouraged his guards.
Although many Netherworld soldiers from the Underworld had already rushed up the city gate tower, they did not gain any advantage. After all, most of the guards on the city gate tower were Mount Wu Lai's guards, and the Netherworld soldiers were only a minority.
Hence, although a chaotic battle had already broken out on the city gate tower, the Underworld did not gain any advantage. Fortunately, there were still Netherworld soldiers that continued to rush up the city gate tower.
Otherwise, the Netherworld soldiers that remained on the city gate tower would have been eliminated very quickly. However, under such circumstances, many Netherworld soldiers managed to hold on until reinforcements continuously rushed up from behind them.
