Chapter 88: Control the heaven and the earth and send Fu Cailin on his way!

“The sun is out!”

Zhou Fashang stood with a gun in his hand, looked at the sky and spoke softly.

"Yes, the sun!"

A young voice sounded from the side, it was Li Shimin.

The armor on both men was stained with the blood of the enemy.

From dark to dawn.

The Goryeo army never stopped for a moment.

Army after army, they attacked the Sui army formation in an organized manner.

When the front army fell, the rear army immediately took over, leaving them no chance to breathe.

Six or seven hours, a dark night.

All spent in a crazy fight.

Although under the command of Gao Changsheng, the Crescent Moon Formation is still as stable as a rock.

But such a long fight, especially for the defending side, is obviously not going to be really easy.

This can be seen from the mountains of corpses surrounding the formation.

How crazy was Goryeo's attack.

"It's dawn!"

Gao Changsheng, who was standing in the center, also uttered a few words softly.

After a night of fighting, he did not rush to the front line.

But there is no doubt that he has a heavier burden than anyone else.

As the commander in chief, he had to pay attention to the overall situation and ensure that there were no mistakes in the operation of the formation.

Once the formation goes wrong.

Then they and the Goryeo army would really engage in a close combat, a bloody battle.

This is obviously disadvantageous to them.

The biggest reason why he abandoned the city and crossed the river was to facilitate the final battle.

But it is impossible for him to spend his own real money on shopping in advance for this purpose.

If the large formation is not in operation, it will definitely not be enough to rely solely on the surrendered soldiers to hold the defense line. In the end, he will definitely need to put the elite troops of the Sui army into the defensive battle.

And that was obviously not in line with Gao Changsheng's overall plan.

In fact, after this night's consumption.

At this time, the captured soldiers in his formation had been almost exhausted.

The number of surrendered soldiers that Gao Changsheng brought out from Pyongyang and other major cities totaled over 100,000.

But it was certainly impossible for him to concentrate all the surrendered soldiers in Marudu City.

After all, there is not only this city along the Yalu River, and troops must be stationed at several other passes.

Of course, there is a distinction between the primary and the secondary. The river basin where Maru City is located has a relatively slow flow of water, which is most suitable for crossing the river and attacking the city.

That's why Gao Changsheng personally took charge of this city.

But even this is the area most likely to be attacked by Goryeo.

It is impossible for Gao Changsheng to put all his eggs in one basket.

And we cannot rule out the possibility that Goryeo will divide its troops.

So after distribution, there were actually only 60,000 surrendered soldiers in Maru City.

Among them, some were selected to be used as auxiliary troops.

In fact, only 50,000 surrendered soldiers were actually involved in the battle.

And these 50,000 soldiers were almost completely wiped out in the two previous defensive battles.

In just one day and one night, fifty thousand people died on both sides of the river.

And this is only the death toll on Gao Changsheng's side; the death toll on Goryeo's side would be even higher.

This alone shows how brutal these two battles were.

back to the front.

When he saw the moon set and the sun rise, Gao Changsheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As the commander of the entire army, every order he gives affects the lives of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The pressure he bears can naturally be imagined.

Even before he started, he already had great confidence in his heart.

But the battlefield is ever-changing and no one can predict all the details.

In fact, the madness of the Goryeo army that night did make Gao Changsheng look at it with some surprise.

Without the support of a large formation, his 50,000 surrendered soldiers were killed.

If it continues for a few more hours, Gao Changsheng might really have to use the Sui soldiers to make up the gap.

But in any case, time was on their side and daylight finally broke.

Zhou Fashang, Li Shimin, Gao Changsheng.

The same sentence was mentioned one after another.

Of course it is not simply about day or night.

But because of one thing.

This was a question Gao Changsheng had asked in advance.

It’s getting light!

This means that the Sui army on the northern front will reach the battlefield in an instant.

That means something.

No one doesn't understand.

"Woo...Woo..."

Almost at the moment the sun came up.

At the end of the horizon, dark shadows appeared.

This was followed by the rumbling sound of horse hooves.

The sound of hooves rolled in, accompanied by the light of the sun.

Goryeo's attack momentum suddenly stopped!
Then there was a burst of cheers that reached the sky.

"Here they come, here they come, hahaha! The army is coming!"

Zhou Fashang laughed loudly towards the sky.

"The main force of our Great Sui Dynasty has arrived. Your doomsday has come. Hahaha!"

Lieutenant General Li also roared towards the sky, his bloodstained face looking somewhat hideous in the sunlight.

"Roar, Roar, Roar!"

In the formation, all the Sui army soldiers roared at the same time.

"Woo..."

The horns in the distance grew louder and louder.

And the next second.

A huge flag suddenly appeared from the horizon.

A giant python with four claws, and the word "Yang" is in the middle.

"It's the flag of King Kaoshan. King Kaoshan is here too."

Zhou Fashang exclaimed immediately.

Judging from the information revealed by Li Shimin yesterday, the first to arrive should be the vanguard of the Sui Dynasty.

The central army led by King Kaoshan should be advancing slowly from behind.

But unexpectedly, the first flag that appeared at this time was actually the banner of King Kaoshan.

As soon as the big flag with the word "Yang" appeared, the morale of the Sui army surged again.

Soon, behind the Yang flag, another equally huge flag appeared.

"fish!"

The flag with the word "fish" on it symbolizes Yujuro.

Then came Wu, Shi...

The flags representing the major generals of the Sui army's northern expedition rose one after another from the horizon.

The army has not yet arrived completely.

Just these fluttering flags gathered a terrifying force that made the Korean army breathless.

"Good, attacking the heart, great!"

Gao Changsheng clapped his hands and praised.

He also didn't know whether these people had really arrived.

But this move of moving the general's flag first was indeed a brilliant one.

When the main force of the Sui Dynasty arrived, the people of Goryeo were already in panic.

Now with the addition of these representative flags, the last glimmer of hope in the hearts of the Korean people has been extinguished.

In fact, it is true!
At this time, not only the Goryeo soldiers, but also the generals in the Goryeo camp, including Fu Cailin, were in a panic.

"Master Fu, the main force of the Sui army has arrived, and it is Yang Lin and Yu Juluo who are here in person."

"Our army no longer has any chance and can no longer attack." Several generals spoke up at the first opportunity.

Fu Cailin did not reply, but just stood there blankly, as if he had lost his spirit.

"Master Fu, we are now on the verge of life and death, please make a decision as soon as possible!" The person who spoke was the one who gave him advice last night.

Fu Cailin slowly turned his head, looked at this person deeply, and then nodded slowly:

"Give the order, the front army will withdraw, and then, the entire army will advance to the northwest, retreat, retreat to the Turks!"

"Yes!"

Just when Fu Cailin made up his mind to retreat.

In the rapidly approaching Sui army.

A majestic old man also spoke at the same time:
"How are the rest of the troops? A junior has set up such a situation for us. We cannot waste this God-given opportunity."

"We must block the escape route of the Goryeo army as soon as possible and annihilate them completely!"

The iconic voice clearly belonged to the Sui army commander, King Kaoshan Yang Lin.

He was originally in charge of the central army, but he galloped almost day and night and led his troops to the front army.

"Our army is doing its best to encircle them, but time is very tight. If we have another half day, we will be able to complete the encirclement."

Hearing this, Yang Lin also understood what the general meant and frowned immediately.
"Half a day, there is indeed a possibility of accidents, but it has to be done this way. It is good for the king to stay for half a day and appear again after the encirclement is completed."

"But the pressure from Gao Changsheng is too great, and I am afraid he can't bear it."

"It's not easy to find such a good candidate, I don't want him to make any mistakes."

"Compared to the remnant Goryeo army, Gao Changsheng is more important in my eyes."

"The fate of Goryeo has been broken. Even if Fu Cailin really escapes with his troops, he is just a stray dog. At best, he will only be a minor trouble."

"But rising generals like Gao Changsheng are the future of our Great Sui Dynasty."

"No, there is no need to think about the future. He is already the pillar of the Sui Dynasty."

He spoke up and answered the questions of the people around him.

Then he quickly said, "Send the order, attack with all the troops, and we will know if we can completely annihilate them after the battle."

Yang Lin waved his hand decisively.

The Sui Dynasty cavalry, which was already galloping wildly, increased their speed again.

On the other side, almost at the same time Yang Lin opened his mouth.

Gao Changsheng also jumped on his horse.

"Lieutenant General Li, blow the horn, and attack with all your forces!"

"It's time to send the Korean army on their way, and also send Fu Cailin on his way!"

"boom!"

From both the north and south lines, earth-shaking shouts of killing broke out simultaneously. The entire sky began to shake.

The crescent moon formation instantly dispersed to both sides.

Thunder exploded in an instant.

The iron cavalry poured out like a flood.

One day and one night.

The Goryeo army attacked fiercely for a whole day and night.

Although most of the soldiers at the front were surrendered from Goryeo.

But the suffocating feeling of being besieged is unavoidable.

Now the situation has changed.

Finally, it was time for them to counterattack.

In this situation, how could the soldiers not be excited.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Gao Changsheng takes the lead!
The aura around him continued to surge at an alarming rate.

Behind him, Li Shimin, Li Yuanba, Zhou Fashang and others were almost the same.

By this time.

There is no need to make any reservations anymore.

The Goryeo army was already at the end of its rope.

All they had to do was to use their strongest force to deliver the final blow on this huge tomb that had already been built.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of rolling horse hooves.

It was like thunder that kept falling, and each strike seemed to hit the hearts of the Koreans.

All the Goryeo soldiers were panicked.

There was no way they could not panic.

From the north and south, two murderous auras were approaching at the same time.

The galloping cavalry was like a flood that had been accumulating for a long time and suddenly burst out.

And it is in both the front and back directions.

People in the formation feel like they are surrounded by an endless flood. Looking around, there is no way to retreat.

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

Fu Cailin could no longer remain calm!
He didn't expect that the Sui army would be so fast.

Moreover, the North and the South launched their attacks at the same time, as if they had discussed it beforehand, leaving them no chance to hesitate or adjust.

"The entire army will retreat, advance along the Yalu River, and then turn to the northwest!"

"Don't worry about anything else, just try your best to break through, and let as many people as possible escape!"

Fu Cailin roared loudly.

By this time, it was too late to make any arrangements.

And even if he were asked to make the arrangements, the result would be the same.

All the words, put together, are just one word: escape.

Mentioning the Yalu River was just to point out a direction for the army. After all, in such a chaotic time, many soldiers might not be able to distinguish between east, west, south and north.

The Yalu River flows from northeast to southwest.

At this time, they were in a position with Yang Lin's army to the northwest and Gao Changsheng to the southeast.

There was no way out to the southwest, so they could only go northeast along the Yalu River, leave the encirclement of the Sui army, and then turn northwest to enter the Turkestan.

"Marshal, Gao Li is trying to escape!"

"Your Majesty, Gao Li seems to be trying to escape!"

Someone from both armies spoke at the same time.

"As expected. Attack with all your strength and kill whoever you can. Keep an eye on Fu Cailin and make sure to keep him!" Yang Lin said in a cold voice.

On the other side, Gao Changsheng smiled lightly and waved to Lieutenant General Li beside him.

Lieutenant General Li understood instantly.

He reached into his bosom, pulled out a cylindrical object, and then pulled it open.

"brush!"

A brilliant firework shot out and exploded high in the sky.

Everyone in the audience was instantly attracted.

But after seeing it, the mood was obviously polarized.

"Hahaha, good, good, what a great Gao Changsheng, the way he arranged the formation and set up the plan is really flawless, the young are to be feared, the young are to be feared!"

A hearty laugh rolled out of Yang Lin's mouth.

On the other side, Fu Cailin's heart instantly sank to the bottom.

Neither party is stupid.

It was obviously impossible that Gao Changsheng used the signal stick just for fun at this time.

At this moment, there is only one thing that he can notify with a signal stick and that is worth noting with a signal stick.

Sure enough, at the moment the signal was launched.

There was a sound of horse hooves.

The direction from which the sound came was exactly the direction in which the Goryeo army was fleeing, and it was also their way of survival.

The leaders were the two deputy generals Wang and Zhang who were sent by Gao Changsheng earlier.

Upper Yalu River, northeast
"No!"

Fu Cailin let out a mournful howl toward the sky, and two lines of blood and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

Gao Changsheng and Yang Lin and others in the north made a gesture at the same time.

The cavalry's charge speed did not change, but the direction of the charge shifted slightly.

Since the way out has been blocked.

So the next thing to do is to complete the encirclement as quickly as possible and leave no chance for the other side to survive.

"what……"

At this time, Fu Cailin, with disheveled hair, raised his head again.

"Fu, Master Fu!" Several generals around him were shocked by Fu Cailin's appearance.

"No need to say more. Even a blind man can see the current situation clearly." Fu Cailin's voice was as cold as ten thousand years of ice.

"The Sui army won't give us a chance to live! Then let's fight them!"

Fu Cailin raised his head suddenly and shouted loudly.

"Warriors of Goryeo, the evil thieves of the Sui Dynasty want to annihilate us completely. They will not give us any chance to survive. If we fight, we will die. If we surrender, we will also die. What do you think we should do?"

A loud voice rolled out.

The general beside him was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and shouted, "We will follow Master Fu till death and fight Sui Gou!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

Everyone roared at the same time, and the sound instantly shook the sky.

"All troops, listen up and follow me as we charge southwards!"

After giving the order, Fu Cailin turned his head and looked towards the south with a cold and sad look.

"Gao Changsheng, even if I die, I will take you with me."

"kill!"

Without any hesitation, Fu Cailin directly aimed his desperate attack at the position where Gao Changsheng was.

"Haha, Brother Yu, it seems that Fu Cailin really hates Gao Changsheng to the core!"

Yang Lin laughed and spoke to Yu Juro.

Yu Juluo waved his hand and frowned, "Who wouldn't hate the hatred of destroying the country and killing the disciples? Moreover, Fu Cailin chose the path of protecting the country, which is also a hatred of blocking the way."

"Brother Yu, don't worry. Even when the army was at its peak, they couldn't take down Gao Changsheng, let alone the current state of his lost dog. What's more, we are here!"

Yu Juro did not respond. Of course he knew what Yang Lin knew, so why would he worry about nothing?

"Ok?"

Yang Lin smiled lightly and was about to speak again, but suddenly stopped and uttered a light exclamation.

Yu Juluo on the side also suddenly looked up.

And at this time, they were not the only ones who felt something.

In the southern front charge formation.

Li Shimin suddenly paused.

"It's this feeling again. Someone is pulling my strings. It's Gao Changsheng!"

On the northern front of the Sui army, in the infantry formation.

In an independent square formation, a young man holding a sword also raised his head and looked up at the sky with a frown.

At his side, an eight-gate formation was flickering on and off. Two of the gates were extremely dim, looking more like a six-petal flower.

"What a great Gao Changsheng! He is actually using the formation to connect the entire army, and is even secretly trying to gain control of the formation from me." Yang Lin suddenly smiled.

"Young people are bound to be ignorant of their own limitations. There is no need to argue with someone as important as the King of Backers."

Yu Juro's eyes suddenly brightened as he looked into the distance, but after hearing what Yang Lin said, he immediately turned around and spoke.

"Haha, you are so good, Yujuro, you dare to provoke me with words."

Yang Lin laughed out loud.

Then he turned around and spoke cheerfully:
"How can this king be such a petty person?"

"If he wants it, just give it to him."

"I want to see how amazing this boy can be!"

After saying that, Yang Lin's body shook, and explosions suddenly occurred around him.

Gao Changsheng, who was in the formation far away, was shocked all over.

The bright and lively eyes suddenly closed.

"Gao Changsheng, give me your life!"

That’s when it happened!
The desperate charge of the Goryeo cavalry was also coming towards this place.

The one rushing in the front was Fu Cailin.

But Gao Changsheng acted as if he didn't see him at all.

The moment Yang Lin let go, he completely took over the control of the entire formation.

The Sui army's formations on both the north and south fronts were completely integrated.

Hundreds of thousands of troops were all under his control.

A unique feeling suddenly came over me.

Generals, soldiers, heaven, and earth!
Everything is under control!

Everything around suddenly became quiet.

In his eyes, all the large formations really turned into strands of silk threads that he could manipulate at will.

It's a divine feeling.

"kill!"

Just when Fu Cailin and his army were about to collide with the Sui army, the sword light rose up and fell towards his head.

Gao Changsheng's eyes suddenly opened.

Push both hands outwards at the same time!
With a swish sound,
The scene of the surrounding world suddenly reversed.

Almost at the same time, Yang Lin and Yu Juluo exclaimed:
"He really..."
