Gao Yanshou watched as the 10,000 cavalrymen that he had painstakingly built were wiped out by Great Sui in an instant.
His heart felt as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer. Was this the strength of China? For the first time, Gao Yanshou lost confidence in himself.
The soldiers around him looked at him with despair in their eyes.
He couldn't waste any more cavalry. If he failed, there would be no cavalry to bring him out of the encirclement.
Even in this chaotic world, with soldiers in their hands, would they be afraid of not having status?
Gao Yanshou gave the order, and the left wing infantry began to advance slowly.
With 70,000 Goguryeon infantrymen, Gao Yanshou placed his bets on the right side of the Sui army. He discovered that there weren't many cavalry on the right side of the Sui army, and this seemed to be a weakness of the Sui army.
It had to be said that the Goguryeon army had displayed their valiant side under Gao Yanshou's guidance. The defeat of the cavalry did not crush the fighting spirit of the infantry.
The lower-ranking officers held their ground, and the infantry on the left wing advanced towards the right wing of Great Sui.
Zhuge Liang saw that the left wing of the Goguryeons had moved and knew that this battle had been won. The right wing of the Sui army was Wei Chong's Yunzhou Army.
The Yunzhou Army of the Great Sui was known for their perseverance. This was also why Zhuge Liang ordered Wei Chong to form the Goose Formation, which was known for its defense.
Zhuge Liang ordered the Yunzhou Army not to move and to stay in formation.
In front of the Yunzhou Army, the officers ran back and forth in front of the troops, restricting the formation of the troops.
The Goguryeon army was only five hundred paces away. Zhuge Liang ordered the troops of Yunzhou to attack from both sides.
The Cloud Prefecture Army spread out in the shape of a wild goose, and in an instant, the two flanks were already engaged in battle with the Goguryeon army.
The swords and shields clashed, instantly reaping the lives of the soldiers on both sides. Human lives were as thin as paper on the battlefield. No one cared. The officers on both sides shouted at the back of the troops to stabilize the formation.
Gao Yanshou frowned. The infantry on the left wing did not have the advantage he had expected. The Great Sui army stabilized their camp.
Was he going to lose? A bad feeling spread in Gao Yanshou's heart.
Zhuge Liang looked at the sun. According to the time, the news from Peking should have been sent back.
As expected, a group of messengers rode out from behind the Goguryeon army and charged straight into the Goguryeon army.
"Reporting to Chief Gao, tens of thousands of Sui troops launched a sneak attack on the sea route and lost the city of Peking.”The messenger said loudly.
What? The news of the fall of Chaoyang was like a sharp knife stabbing into Gao Yanshou's heart.
Gao Yanshou almost fell off his horse.
"Nonsense, delude the public with lies. Capture this person. This is a spy of the Sui army.”Gao Yanshou ordered his men to take down the messenger.
"Chief Gao, I'm telling the truth. The news has already reached the camp.”The messenger shouted in grievance.
"Where are the left and right? Hurry up and take it down. Disrupting the morale of the army in a great battle deserved to be beheaded.”How could Gao Yanshou not know that this was true? At this time, the morale of the army was the most important, so he could only let the messenger die an unjust death!
The majority of the Goguryeon soldiers heard the messenger's words. Could it be that they had really lost the city?! That was the capital of the Goguryeons, their last hope. The soldier looked worried.
Zhuge Liang saw the formation of the Goguryeon army scatter slightly and knew that the news from Peking had arrived. He ordered the soldiers of the Great Sui that had been prepared beforehand to shout," We will not kill those who surrender if they fall."
The news instantly spread across the battlefield, and the Goguryeon soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment.
When the time was ripe, Zhuge Liang ordered Yuwen Cheng to lead the cavalry to attack. The most elite cavalry of the Great Sui Dynasty was dispatched, and the earth shook. This was an army that the entire Great Sui had built with all its might. The horses and even the soldiers were the best in the entire Great Sui. The general of this cavalry was the Treasure General Yuwen Cheng, the top general of the Great Sui Dynasty.
At this moment, Yuwen Cheng was extremely excited. He was a pure general, a general born for the battlefield. He held the gold-plated boring machine and took the lead, displaying an indomitable attitude.
I'll show you what a real cavalry is. All the cavalrymen were shouting in their hearts. We can't let the central army and Yunzhou army dominate the front. We are the most elite of Great Sui.
In an instant, the cavalry on the left flank stabbed into the right flank of Goguryeo like a sharp knife.
To be fair, the Goguryeons were still very tenacious and did not panic. The officers ordered the soldiers to get into formation. No one was afraid, no one retreated, and the formation was not scattered.
But what they did not know was that they were facing the most elite army of the Great Sui, the Forward Strike Battalion. They were all professional soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty. They were a group of soldiers who took war as their pleasure and their profession.
When a group of professional soldiers faced off against a group of peasants who had just been abandoned for a few days, the outcome of the battle was obvious. It was completely one-sided. The moment the two sides clashed, the entire right flank of the Goguryeons was pierced through. The Goguryeons had already lost.
At this moment, the unknown Goguryeon soldier took the lead and shouted," I want to go home! I want to go back to Korea to save my mother!”This shout was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The Goguryeon soldiers threw down their weapons and turned around to flee, causing the entire Goguryeon formation to collapse.
Zhuge Liang looked around and decisively ordered the entire army to attack. Infantry and cavalry chased after the Goguryeons. In their eyes, the Goguryeons were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and at the same time, they represented countless military merits and rewards.
Gao Yanshou saw that the situation was hopeless. If he didn't run now, he would lose his life. He hurriedly retreated with the 10,000 cavalrymen he had reserved.
But now that the entire army was retreating and the Goguryeon infantry was everywhere, how could the cavalry run?
Gao Yanshou quickly ordered the infantry to make way for the cavalry. However, no one cared about their position at this time. Running for their lives was more important. Gao Yanshou's last chance to escape was gone.
Yuwen Cheng and Zhao Yun led the Great Sui Cavalry to attack from behind, instantly drowning the entire battlefield. The Goguryeons were screaming and begging for mercy.
Yang Guang had ordered that no captives were to be taken, and the Great Sui army had gone on a killing spree, not sparing a single Goguryeon soldier or general. In this battle, only a few of the 200,000 Goguryeon soldiers had managed to escape, and the entire battlefield was covered in Goguryeon corpses.
Zhuge Liang saw that the matter had been settled and turned to Yang Guang,""Your Majesty, the matter has been completed. I have not let down my trust. In this battle, I have wiped out the main force of Goguryeo, and from now on, there will be no more Goguryeo in this world.”
Yang Guang laughed smugly and added in his heart,'This chapter doesn't seem to have anything to do with me. Please don't be scolded. I'll appear on time for the next chapter.'
