Chapter 385: Night Attack on the Front Army Camp
Late at night, the sky was covered with dark clouds and it looked like it was going to rain. The Goryeo generals did not doubt the weather and thought it was natural for the sky to be overcast with dark clouds.
What's more, it was pitch dark outside and the Goryeo soldiers couldn't see the road clearly. They thought that the besieged Xue Rengui would not be able to cause any trouble.
There was even a group of people gathered together enthusiastically drinking and eating meat. As for Yeon Gaesomun, he was far away in the central army camp and had no control over them.
What's more, Yeon Gaesomun is not the same kind of person as them. They all belong to the troops of the King of Goryeo. Yeon Gaesomun just has a higher official position than them. In fact, everyone is on an equal footing.
Yeon Gaesomun couldn't do anything to them for the time being. Goryeo was a country that valued seniority. Since Yeon Gaesomun was the beneficiary of this matter, he could not break such rules.
In fact, only the Central Army Camp could be considered as Yeon Gaesomun's own power. The other four camps were all minions of the domestic nobles, who would only listen to his orders but not to his orders. Therefore, he usually turned a blind eye to them.
It is a rather foolish thing to accumulate seniority, but it is undeniable that when one accumulates seniority to a certain level, there may not be an upper limit to one's ability, but the lower limit of one's ability will definitely be top-notch. This is also the reason why Yeon Gaesomun has been unable to replace the King of Goryeo.
One Goryeo general might not be a match for Yeon Gaesomun, but if four Goryeo generals gathered together, Yeon Gaesomun would find it difficult to resist this force.
"Sir, there is news from the Xianbei that they have already withdrawn from Youzhou, and the follow-up troops from Youzhou have begun to support us here."
"I understand." After listening to the report, Yeon Gaesomun waved his hand to signal his men to go out.
Before Yeon Gaesomun could lower his head and continue reading the book in his hand, one of his men ran in.
"Sir, the King of Buyeo has come to the rear camp. It is said that someone is attacking Buyeo and is requesting General Park Soo-ya of the rear camp to send troops to help."
"Hehe, just as I expected, Park Soo-ya in the rear camp has already led the troops there, right?" Yeon Gaesomun was not panicked at all. A strategy of this level would not be seen through by a fool.
"Yes, sir. Park Soo-ya has brought 10,000 soldiers to support us." The subordinate said respectfully, shocked by Yeon Gaesomun's foresight.
"Go down. I understand. Go and inform the reserve team to participate in the patrol from today." Yeon Gaesomun told his men to leave.
"It's a dark and windy night for murder. You stupid guys, today I will use the hands of these Han guys to uproot you all." Yeon Gaesomun sneered at the dark clouds in the sky.
Yeon Gaesomun is not stupid, in fact, all of this was his plan. As long as he kills these idiots, he will see how the King of Goryeo will oppose him.
"Don't let me down, generals of the Han Dynasty!" Yeon Gaesomun thought, then suddenly walked out of the tent and looked at the changes in the sky.
As time passed, the lights in the Goryeo camp became increasingly scarce, and the sky became increasingly darker. The visible range became smaller and smaller, and there was a sense of tranquility in the air.
"It's coming! Faster than I thought!" Yeon Gaesomun said with a smile.
Until one moment, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly disappeared, as if they were suddenly wiped out by a pair of big hands, as if the dark clouds had never existed in the first place, and the bright moonlight instantly covered the ground.
This was like a signal, and several troops that had been prepared launched an attack at the same time.
At the moment when the moonlight was about to illuminate, the city gate slowly opened, and Xue Rengui, with 4,000 elite soldiers behind him, were ready for battle.
Looking at the slowly opening city gate, a white light emerged from Xue Rengui's body. This was his legion talent, a legion talent that was sublimated again after breaking through the realm - the protection of the Holy Spirit.
Xue Rengui's Holy Spirit's protection is actually the blessing of the sacred beast White Tiger, which comes from the amplification of the White Tiger's phantom. The white light can greatly enhance the soldiers' attack and defense power, and can also significantly increase their physical fitness. The White Tiger is responsible for killing, and Xue Rengui's legion talent greatly increases the soldiers' killing power.
"Kill!" Xue Rengui just shouted softly, then rushed out first, and all the soldiers behind him followed suit.
When Xue Rengui killed his way through the Goryeo camp that was besieging the east gate, countless Goryeo soldiers who had not yet awakened from their sleep were crushed into meat paste by the torrent.
After days of siege, the soldiers had long since ignored the possibility of Xue Rengui and his men going out of the city to fight in the field. They prepared the materials needed for the siege every day and did not take any precautions against Xue Rengui and his men at all.
"Enemy attack... come to me!" Some grassroots officers stood up and tried to gather soldiers to organize a counterattack. After all, Xue Rengui and his men only had three or four thousand people, which should be able to be stopped for the more than ten thousand people in their camp.
“Whoosh!”
A sharp arrow flew over and pierced directly into the throat of the grassroots officer, and the soldiers he had gathered scattered like birds and beasts.
Xue Rengui, who was far away, sneered and put away his bow and arrow. How could he possibly organize these soldiers again? Who knows how many men would be lost if he did that?
Are you a stickler? You'd better die quietly .
“Whoosh!”
As he spoke, Xue Rengui drew his bow and arrow again, and with one arrow he killed a warrior who tried to stand up again to stabilize the situation.
Xue Rengui's archery skills may not be the best in the world, but he is definitely one of the few archery masters in the world. These grassroots officers could not avoid Xue Rengui's deadly arrows at all, and later no grassroots officer dared to be the first to stand out.
A group of people were driven towards the Goryeo front army camp in the distance.
"Follow them in, whether we can have the final say today depends on this!" Xue Rengui shouted . At his order, the front army camp, which was originally in some chaos due to the driven out Korean soldiers, fell into complete chaos.
However, unlike the camps in the siege, several Goryeo warriors quickly organized themselves, and under the leadership of several generals, they rushed towards Xue Rengui. All the Goryeo soldiers who dared to stop them on the way were killed, completely ignoring the fact that they were comrades from the same country.
But it must be said that the brutal tactics were very classic. They established their authority by killing people. The defeated soldiers held by Xue Rengui and others lay directly on the ground and dared not move, and Xue Guiren and others were completely exposed.
"You dare to attack my camp with only four or five thousand people. You must be tired of living!" Jin Enyun, the commander of the vanguard camp, said disdainfully . His vanguard camp had at least seventy or eighty thousand people. It was nonsense for Xue Rengui to want to break through with only four or five thousand people.
"All of you surround him. Since Xue Rengui is here today, let's capture him. I want to see what Yeon Gaesomun's expression is like." Jin Enyun commanded loudly.
He would not let go of the opportunity to humiliate Yeon Gaesomun.
