Chapter 69: The emperor is ruthless, and the rest can be abandoned!

King of Goryeo, Go Won!

Just a few words!
All the soldiers, including Lieutenant General Li, had a burning light in their eyes!
That is the emperor of Goguryeo!
Capturing him would be a truly extraordinary achievement!

No one can remain calm in the face of the merits of expanding territory and destroying a country.

Everyone's eyes were on Gao Changsheng, waiting for his orders.

Facing such a wolf-like and ferocious gaze.

Gao Yuan just sneered.

His eyes were also looking at Gao Changsheng.

"Is this all the troops you have?"

"It turns out there are only a few thousand soldiers!" Gao Yuan sighed softly.

"What courage and determination! With only a few thousand soldiers, you dare to march deep into our city alone!"

"I didn't expect it, and neither did Yeon Gaesomun!"

At this point, Gao Yuan's eyes couldn't help but flash with regret and anger.

He and Yeon Gaesomun, a king and a minister, two old foxes, were actually fooled by a young boy with thousands of soldiers and horses.

This is absolutely a huge shame.

After letting out a long breath, Gao Yuan looked at Gao Changsheng again: "Young people are formidable. I am a little envious of your Great Sui Dynasty. There are so many heroes."

As soon as the words fell, Gao Changsheng laughed:

"I have heard of the Goryeo King Gao Yuan for a long time. Seeing him today..."

"How is it?" Gao Yuan showed curiosity on his face.

He really wanted to know how Gao Changsheng, the genius who almost destroyed his Goryeo single-handedly, would evaluate him.

"Hard enough!"

Gao Changsheng just uttered two words lightly!
Gao Yuan was obviously stunned, but following Gao Changsheng's gaze, he quickly discovered the direction the other person was looking.

It was the young men standing behind him.

"Haha! You know! It seems that you are not from an ordinary background, there must be a heritage behind you!" Gao Yuan laughed.

Gao Changsheng remained silent!
National destiny is extremely mysterious and is the most fundamental thing for a country.

It is of paramount importance to any country.

But at the same time, the destiny of a country cannot be easily changed.

A slight fluctuation in the national destiny, when magnified to the entire country, would cause a huge storm.

It is not so easy for Gao Yuan to mobilize the national destiny at all costs, especially when Goguryeo has lost its territory and its capital, as he is doing now.

The backlash that one has to bear alone is extremely serious.

It was obvious that the young men behind Gao Yuan were used by Gao Yuan to alleviate the backlash against himself.

Because at this time, there were traces of blood in the eyes, ears, mouths and noses of those people.

The person who can temporarily replace the emperor and take on the backlash of national destiny is definitely not an ordinary person, but most likely Gao Yuan’s son.

"It is said that emperors are ruthless, but I have witnessed it today!" Gao Changsheng said.

Putting aside Gao Yuan's abilities, his ruthlessness alone is enough to surpass 99% of the people in the world.

"Hahaha, to me, this is actually a compliment!" Gao Yuan didn't care!
"Offspring are certainly important, but how can they compare to oneself? Moreover, for Goryeo, I am the foundation!"

"As long as I am alive, everything can be started over again. The land can be redeveloped. Whether it's the crown prince or the prince, I can be reborn!"

"Okay, enough of the nonsense!"

Gao Yuan waved his hand:

"You have been watching for so long, do you have any ideas in your mind? Can you break through my national destiny formation?"

Gao Yuan had a big smile on his face, and was obviously full of confidence!

Gao Changsheng didn't say anything, but Gao Yuan smiled even more!

"Coward!" Lieutenant General Li seemed to understand that the situation was difficult to deal with, and he muttered unconsciously.

"Hahaha!" Gao Yuan raised his head and laughed. It was obvious that he had heard what Lieutenant General Li said, but it was obvious that he didn't care about him at all. "What do you think, young man?" Gao Yuan looked at Gao Changsheng and said.

"Unless you can capture my palace within a few days, the outcome is already determined."

"Go away. For you, destroying my imperial city is enough to make you famous. There is no need to waste time here."

"The destiny of the country is revealed, and the whole of Goryeo is moved. It won't be long before armies from all directions swarm in, and even the front-line troops may turn back!"

"You are a lone army, you can't make any waves!"

In the field, only Gao Yuan's voice was rumbling.

"General, it seems that this old man is determined to defend to the death, but his words may be a little exaggerated. How can the front-line army return? Wouldn't that mean handing over the entire Liaodong to us?"

"And judging from his tone, it's obvious that he doesn't want to fight us head-on. At worst, we can just drag it out with him. We have so many surrendered soldiers defending Pyongyang, so we don't have to worry even if an army attacks."

Gao Changsheng didn't say anything.

He had already guessed Gao Yuan's actions.

Compared with Lieutenant General Li, he undoubtedly knows more about Gao Yuan.

No matter whether it was Gao Yuan or Yeon Gaesomun, their strategy in facing attacks has always been to defend the city and wait for an opportunity to counterattack!
There are three defense lines that Goryeo values: along the Liaohe River, the sea defense line where Changkou is located, and the Yalu River defense line.

But the three also have their respective importance. Although Goryeo is fighting so fiercely in Liaodong now, in fact, in the eyes of Gao Yuan and others, the Liaohe River is not something that cannot be given up.

Historically, when facing attacks from the Sui and Tang dynasties, Goryeo always defended if it could, and if it couldn't, it would abandon the front line and retreat to the Yalu River, trading space for time, stretching the enemy's supply lines, and waiting for the enemy to run into problems before organizing a counterattack.

In real history, it took the Central Plains dynasty nearly a hundred years to deal with Goguryeo, until the deaths of Gao Yuan and Yeon Gaesomun, before it finally destroyed the country.

The reason why Gao Changsheng was able to reach here this time was because he took Goguryeo by surprise and bypassed its two major defense lines.

Then, taking advantage of the importance of Changkou, he mobilized Yeon Gaesomun's army and killed the main general in a field battle!
This is the only way to finally capture Pyongyang.

And what Gao Yuan is doing now is just using the country's fortune to rebuild a line of defense.

Block Gao Changsheng's attack, wait for the army to arrive, and then plan a counterattack.

Of course, Lieutenant General Li’s guess was correct.

Gao Yuan definitely doesn't want to fight head-on.

The cost of forcibly relying on national destiny is undoubtedly high.

But it would be a joke to say that the other side will not give up Liaodong.

Gao Yuan didn't even care about the life of his own son, so how could he care about Liaodong?

As long as they can save their lives, the other party will definitely sacrifice everything.

"General!"

Lieutenant General Li shouted anxiously!
"Get into formation!"

Gao Changsheng did not hesitate any longer and waved his hand decisively.

"Stubborn!"

Gao Yuan's face turned gloomy in an instant!

"Since you won't give up, come on!"

"With just a few thousand men and horses, you want to destroy the fate of our Goryeo nation. This is simply a huge joke!"

"boom!"

The armies united as one, and boundless murderous aura rose into the sky.

And on the opposite side.

The huge dragon shadow also raised its head instantly.

"Ang~~~"

The entire city of Pyongyang was shaking violently.

However, this fluctuation did not stop, but spread rapidly to the surrounding areas with Pyongyang as the center.

A moment!

Countless figures from all over the place raised their heads and looked here at the same time!
