Chapter 386 [After today, there will be no Goguryeo](1/2)
When three armies appeared on the Tang Dynasty side at the same time, the Goguryeo army obviously paused. It could be clearly seen that panic appeared on the faces of many soldiers.
But just when they were panicking, a loud horn horn sounded suddenly behind them, a battlefield horn, boosting their morale. The Goguryeo soldiers were shocked, and their sagging morale improved slightly.
On the other hand, on the Tang Dynasty's side, the three armies were still approaching rapidly.
Closer, closer.
The atmosphere of war is about to break out.
The coaches of both sides looked as grave as water...
…
It was freezing cold and the north wind was howling. Yeon Gaesumun looked at the army on the opposite side from a distance, with a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth.
After a long time, the Goguryeo general sighed softly and whispered: "It has been passed down for thousands of years and will eventually come to an end. Goguryeo, Goguryeo, the homeland where I was born and raised, please don't blame me, because I never thought about it.
Betrayal, but I can't compete with that person..."
"When he took back the Five Prefectures of Youyun from the Turks and moved his whole family to Youzhou, at that moment I knew that there was a fierce tiger on the side of Goguryeo's bed."
"I know he's targeting Goguryeo!"
"The Lord Gao Yuan also knew that he was eyeing Goguryeo."
"He was not very powerful at that time, and Youzhou was not very powerful at that time. However, even he and Youzhou at that time were already too much for us, Goguryeo, to deal with..."
"When he opened the mutual market, Lord Gao Yuan and I were at the same time wary. We both knew that the mutual market would be the rope that strangled Goguryeo."
"He allowed various ethnic groups to trade with each other, but he did not allow us Goguryeo people to go there. Therefore, the leader of the Gaoyuan Kingdom responded decisively and immediately sent troops to raid his trade."
"However, it is a pity that the army could not even enter the border of the Tang Dynasty. The entire army of a thousand cavalry was annihilated by the Tuyuhun people's ambush..."
"Now that I think carefully about that ambush, it may not only be the work of the Tuyuhun people, but also the influence of various countries in the Western Regions, and even the Turks were involved."
"They took the initiative to send troops to ambush Goguryeo, just to continue Gu Tianya's mutual trade."
"After the news of the annihilation of the entire army came, Lord Gao Yuan hid in the palace and got drunk, but what about me, Yeon Gaesumun? I also hid at home and got drunk."
"We both realized clearly in our hearts at the same time that Goguryeo was afraid that there would be no future. There was a fierce tiger on the side of the bed, and he was eyeing our country. However, we knew that he was eyeing our country, but there was nothing we could do to him.
Fight back..."
"Because once we launch a counterattack, we will be greeted first by the armies of various countries."
"Gu Tianya, you are so ruthless!"
"You only used a mutual market to tie dozens of small countries into chariots. Those small countries kept sending troops to protect his Youyun Five States like an iron barrel."
"We can only watch helplessly as you become stronger day by day."
"You engage in business and constantly exchange friendships with neighboring countries. By using profit to drive people away, the Han families in the Central Plains will no longer be held back."
"The Central Plains is still the Central Plains, but the Tang Dynasty is no longer the Sui Dynasty. When the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo, we secretly colluded with Han aristocratic families, cooperated internally and externally, and caused the powerful dynasty to fall apart... However, this time, we know
We can no longer connect with the Han family."
"Those aristocratic families have been converted by you, and they have become vicious in their hearts. They have become your pawns, staring at everything in Goguryeo with blood-red eyes."
"I don't know what you have instilled in the Han family, but I found that the Han family did not even send merchants to Goguryeo... The fact that they did not send merchants to Goguryeo does not mean that they do not want benefits, but that they have temporarily given up.
Profits, prepare to take huge profits from Goguryeo at once."
"In terms of military strength, we are being stared at fiercely by dozens of small countries. In terms of business, we have lost all avenues for foreign business. This is a desperate situation, and you are weakening us bit by bit."
"Goguryeo is getting weaker day by day. What's funny is that the royal family is still thinking about fighting among themselves. They always think that I am a restless and hidden danger, and they always want to kill me, the general."
"I have made several efforts to negotiate peace with the royal family. In fact, both I and the king know that there should never be any estrangement in Goguryeo. We must work together and twist into an iron plate, perhaps gathering the strength of the entire nation.
In the future, there will be a chance to launch a desperate counterattack..."
"It's a pity that the peace talks between me and the king failed. It's not that we don't have foresight, but that the royal family is short-sighted."
"So I finally realized in bitterness that this country that has been inherited for thousands of years has become corrupt. The Gao family should die."
"I know that my motherland is going to end. Since it is destined to end, I have to leave a way out."
"I chose to betray Goguryeo, but I did not betray my own nation. I need to live a better life, and I need to become an important minister under your command. Only in this way can I be able to protect my compatriots in Goguryeo."
"But I know deeply that you will not reuse me casually. If I want to become your direct descendant, I must first present you with a certificate of dedication!"
"In that case, I will offer it."
"In this war between the two countries, I complied with your wishes. I deliberately acted furious and crazy, and gathered all the soldiers and horses from Goguryeo together. I know you want to fight to win the battle, so I will give you the opportunity to win the battle."
"I use the lives of hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo soldiers in front of me to present you with a heavy certificate of surrender..."
The cold wind howled and black clouds loomed in the sky. Yeon Gaesumun exhaled again, and in the blink of an eye the cold wind turned into thick white mist.
He stared far ahead, with desolate sadness in his eyes. Suddenly, the Goguryeo general's eyes darkened, and there was fierce determination in his eyes.
He suddenly rode forward, issued an order loudly, and shouted: "Send the order, blow the horn again, and at the same time send out messengers to inform the three armies on the left, center and right. In this battle, if you fight to the death and do not retreat, I will be greatly rewarded for your military merits."
, tens of millions of wealth are waiting for them to earn. Anyone who can kill a Han soldier can be rewarded with silk, money, and beautiful women. There is no limit to military merit, and wealth is only for now..."
The breathing sounds all around were rapid and heavy.
Obviously many soldiers have been stimulated by this big reward.
Yeon Gaesumun's eyes became even colder, and he shouted again: "The reward is huge, but the punishment is also huge. This war between the two countries is actually a battle of life and death for Goguryeo, so there is no retreat in this battle, and some can only move forward indomitably. Who can
If you retreat cowardly, there is no need to imagine that you can escape accountability afterwards. I will send hundreds of squads to supervise the battle and immediately kill those who retreat on the battlefield..."
The atmosphere around him was obviously tense.
Yeon Gaesumun didn't care about the thoughts of the soldiers. He slowly exhaled a breath again, suddenly pulled out the long sword with a clang, slowly raised it and pointed it to the opposite side, and shouted: "All the troops, fight to the death."
Herod!
War horses neighed and people roared.
With a command, the army began to charge. No matter whether the Goguryeo soldiers wanted it or not, they could only drift with the tide and could not retreat, but could only charge forward.
If you rush forward, you may still have a chance to survive, but if you retreat, you will be trampled to death by your own soldiers and horses. Even if you are not trampled to death by your own army, hundreds of war supervising teams will be killed with swords.
If that's the case, let's move forward.
The general is determined to fight to the death.
…
When the Goguryeo army launched a charge, all the generals of the Tang Dynasty on the opposite side had a look in their eyes.
At this time, the cold wind was howling, Li Shimin was fully clothed, and a large flag of the imperial commander was erected next to his horse.
The emperor took a deep breath and looked at the tide of Goguryeo soldiers. Suddenly he reached for his waist, pulled out the Emperor's Sword with a clang, and shouted loudly: "Now I, the people of the Han family, will fight with blood and shame.
During the Great Sui Dynasty's Eastern Expedition, millions of comrades died, and to this day, it is difficult for their lonely souls to return. How can I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, sit back and watch such hatred? Goguryeo and the Central Plains have a sworn feud. Since it is a blood feud, there is only blood revenge.
The three armies obey the order and follow me to attack... kill!"
Follow me to attack!
Instead of attacking me!
Li Shimin was worthy of being the former general of Tiance Mansion. His bones were filled with the blood of fighting on the battlefield. He roared angrily and rushed out at the leading position.
…
At the same time, another large army came from the southwest.
Zhao Ning was also fully clothed, holding a bright spear in his hand.
She didn't say much, she just looked back at Youyun's soldiers, then she pointed her spear into the sky and shouted: "I am a woman, I dare to charge, you are all soldiers of Youyun's Gu family, all of them are
Good man, I, Li Xiuning, just want to ask you, do you soldiers dare to join me in the charge?"
"kill!"
She was answered with an earth-shaking roar.
"kill!"
Li Xiuning shouted again.
Gu's army of 150,000 men followed a beautiful figure and charged.
At the front were 30,000 black-armored cavalry, followed closely by 120,000 infantry. Looking over, the ground was filled with darkness. The soldiers were like a tide, and also like a giant dragon. The charge kicked up snow all over the ground, and the whole world was covered with snow.
It's the bright light of the sword.
…
It was still the third army from the northwest at the same time.
This large army is a coalition of various countries, and there are dozens of flags alone. The flags are facing the wind, and below are dozens of war horses neighing and clawing their hooves.
On top of each war horse is a general from a small country, some of whom are even directly participating in the war. They have brought almost all their belongings with them.
In addition to some generals and kings of small countries, there were also several extremely distinguished people present.
For example, there was a woman who was not riding a horse, but was standing quietly on the snow with her hands behind her hands. Her eyes were as bright as pearls, and her face was covered by a silk scarf.
No one could believe that the most noble saintly high priestess of the Steppe Turks was actually here.
