Chapter 62 The truth has found a way to survive, follow me!

The desolate and heroic sound of the military bugle, coupled with the heavy rain falling at this time, creates a unique artistic conception.

But the Goryeo army, especially Yeon Gaesomun, were obviously in no mood to appreciate these things at this time.

The long-lasting horn sounded, combined with the thunderous sound of horse hooves.

To them, it is the most terrifying sound in the world, and the sound they least want to hear.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Quickly form a formation! Repel the enemy!"

Shrill roars continued to sound from the formation.

Several deputy generals waved the command flags desperately, trying to restore the army to normal operation.

It’s a pity that no matter how hard they try, the final effect is minimal.

Because of the previous full speed ahead.

At this time, Yeon Gaesomun's troops were completely out of touch.

The cavalry and infantry dispersed back and forth, looking like two independent forces.

The heavy rain, coupled with the occasional thunder, can easily make people feel uneasy.

Not to mention the constant sound of horse hooves.

North! West! East!

The sound of galloping hooves rang out almost simultaneously from all directions.

I can't see the situation clearly and I don't know how many enemies there are.

But everyone knew one thing: they seemed to be surrounded.

In this situation, how can people not be confused?

"Quiet!"

A roar like a tiger's roar suddenly sounded.

It was Yeon Gaesomun.

At this moment, his expression was extremely ugly.

It's not just because I was surrounded.

It was also because of the chaos in the army before him.

Yeon Gaesomun had commanded troops for many years, and in the hearts of all Goryeo soldiers, he not only had great prestige, but also had a lot of influence.

Listen to his extremely angry roar.

Although the Goryeo soldiers were still in a panic, they eventually calmed down.

"Quickly integrate the troops and break out of the encirclement first!"

Seeing that the troops had temporarily restored discipline, Yeon Gaesomun shouted immediately.

Waves of red began to spread from his body.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, the infantry behind us..."

The deputy general beside him spoke in shock.

This time they came out of the royal city with an army of 20,000, half of them infantry and half of them cavalry.

Previously, in order to support the royal city, Yeon Gaesomun ordered a full speed advance, so there were only 10,000 cavalrymen following them at this time.

Although the two armies are temporarily disconnected, in fact the distance between them is not too far.

With 20,000 troops in hand, this force is powerful enough no matter where it is placed!

But now the first order Yeon Gaesomun gave was to break out.

In other words, retreat.

And judging from his words, he clearly intended to abandon the infantry in the rear.

Those are not just a few hundred or dozens of people, but a full army of ten thousand, and they are the guards guarding the royal city.

The deputy general couldn't believe that Yeon Gaesomun would abandon him so easily.

"The enemy's number is unknown. We don't have time to wait any longer. Every minute we delay will increase the risk of our army being annihilated."

Yeon Gaesomun narrowed his eyes. The sound of horse hooves all around him was so dense that he couldn't judge the exact number.

At this moment, he felt as if an endless number of cavalry were rushing towards him frantically.

People in high positions have always been the most careful about their lives, especially those like Yeon Gaesomun who are second only to one person and close to the pinnacle of power.

After hearing this, the deputy general also nodded.

The number of enemy troops around was indeed unknown, but even a fool could understand that since the enemy dared to surround the 20,000-man army so blatantly, the number of soldiers at their disposal must be considerable. "Prime Minister, listen, the horseshoes around us seem to be spreading!" the deputy general suddenly spoke.

Yeon Gaesomun paused at first, and then his face changed drastically.

"The enemy is moving around us. They want to completely surround us!"

"The number of enemies must be quite large!"

"Damn it, are the scouts ahead all pigs? How could a force of this size sneak in? Trash! A bunch of trash!"

Yeon Gaesomun roared continuously.

As we all know, the strongest point of cavalry is impact.

Now the enemy actually dares to use cavalry to encircle and surround them, not afraid at all that the dispersion would create weak points and allow them to break out.

That could only be one reason.

The other side has a lot of troops at its disposal, probably even more than he imagined.

"We can't wait any longer, break out immediately!" Yeon Gaesomun shouted wildly.

"Yes!"

Several deputy generals were also frightened at this time and dared not raise any objections.

"Prime Minister, which direction should we choose?"

Several people asked, and by asking this question, it was obvious that they all agreed with the order to retreat.

As for the 10,000 infantrymen, they all tacitly agreed not to mention it again.

Leaving 10,000 infantrymen to face the cavalry from all directions, there is no need to say what the outcome will be.

Hearing the question, Yeon Gaesomun was silent.

"Why not go south?" someone asked.

"There are no obvious horse hoof sounds coming from the south, and the sounds from all around are also moving towards the south, which means the south is their weak point."

"Yes, the enemy attacked three cities, Changkou in the west, Zhanghe in the north, and Donggu in the east. Obviously, the south was also missing."

Several people spoke one after another.

But Yeon Gaesomun shook his head decisively.

"No. Since ancient times, we only know that sieges are carried out by encircling three sides and leaving one side open. But have you ever heard of such an operation of encircling and annihilating on the plains?" Yeon Gaesomun snorted coldly.

Several people were stunned when they heard this.

Yeon Gaesomun continued:
"There are enemy traces in the east, west and north, but the south is quiet. How do you know that this is not a trap set by the enemy? In fact, the south is the most dangerous place."

"That……"

"Go east!" Yeon Gaesomun waved his hand decisively.

"From the three directions, Changkou was the first one the enemy attacked. Although the scouts reported that Changkou was quiet, it was obviously not going to be easy."

"Zhanghe is close to the royal city, so it is definitely a location that the enemy will defend closely."

"There is only the direction of Donggu. Although it is far from here, the terrain is flat and level."

"As long as we break out of the encirclement, we don't have to worry about anything else!"

After finishing speaking, Yeon Gaesomun drew his sword and shouted:
"All troops, listen to my orders, follow me and charge!"

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

Ten thousand Goryeo cavalrymen let out howling sounds in an instant and rushed towards the east like an overwhelming force.

"General, everything is just as you expected. Yeon Gaesomun is heading east!"

"It seems like there are four directions, but in fact there is only one choice left for him." Gao Changsheng said indifferently on the top of the mountain.

"Pass the order, don't resist too much, just let them come!"

"Yes!"

"Also, tell Lieutenant General Li not to rush to attack, just hold back the 10,000 infantrymen. They were abandoned by the commander, so as long as we don't push them too hard, they won't fight too hard!"

"Yes!" The deputy general beside him nodded excitedly.

Gao Changsheng didn't say anything else.

But an extremely terrifying aura was slowly gathering around him.

Behind him, eighteen dark shadows stood quietly like stone sculptures!

The rain is getting heavier.

But no matter how heavy the raindrops were, they could not stop the murderous aura that rose like flames.
