Chapter 72 The wasted last resort!
The rumbling sound of horse hooves exploded through the palace gate.

From the sound alone, one can roughly infer that the number of cavalry is around 10,000.

It was obvious that this was the last guard that Gao Yuan had hidden.

Judging from the comparison of military strength alone, Gao Changsheng, who has only 3,000 men, is undoubtedly at a disadvantage.

But this is the time.

Gao Changsheng smiled!
And not only him, but also Lieutenant General Li behind him and even the three thousand cavalrymen, most of them laughed.

I've said it before!
Goguryeo's best tactic is to hold the pass and defend!

In real history, during the Sui and Tang dynasties, Goguryeo never had the upper hand in field battles.

Not to mention that today's national strength is even greater than that of the historical Sui Dynasty.

Gao Yuan’s last 8,000 guards should be infantry.

But from the sound of horse hooves, it can also be seen that Gao Yuan should have equipped them with horses, changing from walking to riding.

Not to mention the fact that after they changed from infantry to cavalry, what was the combat effectiveness of this group of soldiers?
But there is one thing that everyone understands.

Send out the cavalry.

That undoubtedly means that Gao Yuan is ready to make a final fight!

He also gave up defense and prepared to leave the palace to fight Gao Changsheng.

Such a situation!
It is undoubtedly what they have been longing for.

“Zheng, zheng, zheng!”

Three thousand cavalrymen raised their weapons at the same time.

The sound of golden swords resounds throughout the universe!

What had just happened, especially Gao Yuan’s outrageous words, undoubtedly completely ignited the anger of these soldiers.

"Back a hundred steps!"

Gao Changsheng raised his right hand and spoke calmly!
As the voice fell, the army turned around, and after a hundred steps, they turned around again and waved their swords forward!
The whole process was smooth and flowing, like a precision machine.

The reason for retreating is naturally because of the terrain here.

In front of the Goryeo Royal Palace was a huge open space, large enough to accommodate a sufficient number of soldiers.

But if the position is too forward, it will undoubtedly affect the impact of the cavalry.

When the Goryeo cavalry rushes out, it will turn into a close-range stranglehold battle.

Although considering the combat effectiveness and current morale of the Sui army, there is no need to be afraid.

But since there is room for maneuver, there is naturally no need to confront it head-on.

"Deputy General Li!"

Thousands of people's eyes were fixed on the gate in front of them.

Gao Changsheng suddenly spoke at this moment.

Upon hearing the voice, Lieutenant General Li was visibly stunned!
Like the soldiers in the rear, Lieutenant General Li was also about to go crazy with anger.

At this moment, I wish the battle could start as soon as possible.

So when he suddenly heard Gao Changsheng's voice, he was obviously unable to react.

Gao Changsheng didn't continue talking, not intentionally keeping the audience in suspense.

Although these deputy generals are not famous generals, they have shortcomings in many things.

But these people have all emerged from the sea of ​​blood and corpses, so some common sense things do not need Gao Changsheng to explain too clearly.

Sure enough, after just a moment, Lieutenant General Li understood and his eyes lit up.

Then he bowed to Gao Changsheng, pulled the reins, and quietly left the team. There were obviously fewer people in the army behind him.

Gao Changsheng nodded with satisfaction and turned to look forward again.

The shouting and screaming behind the palace gate was getting closer and louder.

But there was no fluctuation in Gao Changsheng's eyes.

In fact, in his eyes, the battle was over from the moment the Sui Dynasty appeared.

In a war to annihilate a country, the most important thing is the enemy's national destiny's counterattack.

In a normal war to annihilate a country, a large army would advance and capture cities and towns one by one.

During this process, the enemy country's national fortune will naturally weaken step by step.

Moreover, a normal war to annihilate a country often involves an army of tens or hundreds of thousands.

Under the suppression of such a large number of troops, even if the country's destiny is revealed, it will not be able to make any waves.

But Gao Changsheng was different this time, with only a few thousand cavalrymen, and broke into the rear. Under such circumstances, it would undoubtedly be as difficult as ascending to heaven to break the destiny of Goryeo, which still had a strong national power.

This is also the reason why Gao Changsheng took this approach.

Borrowing the fortune of the Sui Dynasty, he suppressed the Golden Dragon of Goryeo.

Of course, this method is not something you can do just because you want to.

National destiny represents the country. Every citizen of the Sui Dynasty has national destiny in him or her to a greater or lesser extent.

But the national destiny of most people cannot be changed.

This time, King Kaoshan, Yu Juluo, and even Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty of Daxing, took action almost at the same time.

Especially Daxing, who issued imperial edicts based on the country's destiny.

The Duke of Qi, the commander of the Left Guard, and the Supreme Pillar of the State, this trinity allowed Gao Changsheng to borrow a corner of the country's fortune.

He gently reached out and touched the hot pattern between his eyebrows.

"Sure enough, this method is taboo!"

"The backlash of luck is secondary, it's the fate of the country!"

Gao Changsheng raised his head slightly, looking at the Great Sui Dynasty's national destiny which was completely suppressing the Goryeo Golden Dragon in the sky and roaring towards the sky.

"There seems to be something wrong with this country's destiny. Is it the same for all countries? Or is it just..."

Gao Changsheng looked up at the sky with a dim gaze, especially at the throat of the giant dragon.

"boom!"

Just as Gao Changsheng was lost in thought, the palace gate opposite slowly fell down.

Accompanied by thunderous shouts and cries of killing!
Eight thousand guards poured out of the palace gate like a tide.

"Ah!"

See this scene!

Gao Changsheng couldn't help but utter a word.

There was contempt in his voice.

The scene of these soldiers charging before him reminded him of the past.

The thousands of cavalrymen who infiltrated the Sui Dynasty near Liucheng.

That group of cavalry, because they had not joined up with Fu Jun'er and Fu Cailin and had no command, could only charge forward based on instinct.

The group of guards in front of him were almost identical to the ones back then, except that their momentum was even more astonishing due to their numbers.

"Emperor, haha!"

Gao Changsheng sneered.

Gao Yuan said the last sentence with gritted teeth, as if he was trying his best.

But Gao Changsheng would not believe the other party so easily.

An emperor will never fight to the death unless he is faced with a life-or-death situation, especially someone like Gao Yuan who values ​​his life so much.

Would he really place all his hopes on these defeated guards?
Gao Changsheng obviously didn't believe it.

This is why he asked Lieutenant General Li to leave the team.

A siege battle, especially one against an imperial city.

Of course, we need to consider whether the enemy will retreat secretly, especially when we are about to achieve complete victory.

We also need to be on guard against Gao Yuan taking the opportunity to slip away.

And now, looking at the scene in front of me.

Gao Changsheng became more certain of his guess.

If they really fought to the death, even if Gao Yuan did not command the troops himself, he would at least send a commander and would not allow these cavalrymen to charge in such a chaotic manner.

It was obvious that Gao Yuan sent this team purely for delaying the enemy.

In other words, his purpose was to use the lives of eight thousand people to find a way to survive for himself.

"I didn't expect that in the end, it would be such a battle. It seems that the last trick I had left was a bit of a waste."

Gao Changsheng shook his head and made a unique gesture in the air with his right hand.

A melodious horn suddenly sounded from the army in the rear.

“Brush, brush, brush!”

As soon as the voice came out, a rain of arrows flew out from the right side of the open space!
