Chapter 387: An Act of Cowardice
Wen Chou led his army to drive the Goryeo soldiers towards the camp on the left. Just as they expected, the Goryeo soldiers fled like crazy like headless flies.
What's worse, some of them fell into madness because they couldn't see the things with their eyes and heard all kinds of crazy shouts in their ears. They waved their weapons wildly and killed all the creatures around them that could make sounds.
This made the already collapsed army even worse, and the Goryeo soldiers, who had already lost trust, became even more confused.
This is what is meant by a crushing defeat. When Kim Eun-yoon was in danger, the 100,000-strong army was driven around like 100,000 pigs.
The person who made the greatest contribution in this battle was naturally Jia Xu. He could make clouds with a flip of his hand and rain with a flip of his hand. Although he was in the city, he completely controlled the direction of the war.
"Mr. Jia is indeed a man of talent! I admire him very much!"
Wang Yue looked at his hands with shame on his face. He was neither good at literature nor martial arts, and only had sword skills, but they were too insignificant.
If he was thrown into an army of this size, he would not be able to kill many enemies at all. He would feel ashamed to see the high-end operations of people like Jia Xu.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be like this. We all have our own strengths!" Jia Xu shook his head, but he did not look complacent. He just wanted to bully the useless people like Gao Li.
If it were the Northern Huns, they might have suffered a crushing defeat today. This method would be child's play for any known enemy, and it would only be useful against the mixed Hu and Goryeo.
When he heard that Goryeo had sent a million soldiers to invade Youzhou, he was somewhat dignified. But after Goryeo had failed to capture any city in a month, Jia Xu realized that this Goryeo army was just a mixed-race Hu army.
It's not a question of strength, but a question of people's hearts. The mixed Hu people are afraid of the Han Dynasty, while the Goryeo people are in pure civil strife. After getting the information that Liu Yu learned from the King of Buyeo, Jia Xu understood it.
The current Goryeo is just a union of mixed tribes, not even a kingdom, and not even comparable to the original coalition of princes. A large army has five commanders. Isn't this self-division and self-consumption?
Without even thinking, Jia Xu instinctively planned Goryeo's fate of defeat. And when he learned that Goryeo only used 3,000 soldiers to intimidate Buyeo, Jia Xu became even happier.
Arrogant, conceited, and insidious, Jia Xu understood the characteristics of the Koreans in just a moment, and then directly dealt with these weaknesses, turning the originally perfect but slightly risky plan into a strategy to victory.
Jin Enyun fled in panic, and Xue Rengui was chasing him desperately.
The moonlight that filtered through the holes in the clouds caused the Goryeo soldiers to flee in roughly two directions. Staring at those rays of light, the Goryeo army began to completely split up.
Jin Enyun was so angry that he almost vomited blood. If this continued, these soldiers would fall into the hands of other generals, and by then, only a few of them would be able to be retrieved.
For him, this was more painful than if all these soldiers had died.
"The man wearing the cloak is the enemy leader. Capture him and give him a promotion!" Xue Rengui's roar filled with murderous intent made Jin Enyun even more panicked. He didn't know why he was targeted by such a guy.
Jin Enyun gritted his teeth and stopped hesitating. He was doomed today, but there was still room for recovery, provided that he did not die here today.
"Let's turn around and fight them!" Jin Enyun roared and turned his horse's head with his personal guards, looking like he was going to fight Xue Rengui to the death.
His personal guards were naturally stronger than ordinary soldiers; at least they didn't have night blindness and had no problems in the dark.
"Kill them!" Xue Rengui saw that Jin Eun-yoon was still trying to turn around and fight back, so he immediately rushed forward with a roar without hesitation.
There was no extra words between the two sides, and everything was in chaos in just a moment.
Only then did Xue Rengui discover that Jin Eun-yoon's personal guard was actually an elite unit, an elite unit with dual talents.
"Very strong, but not enough!"
Xue Rengui sneered and pushed the legion's talent to the extreme. The shadow of a white tiger appeared on the bodies of his soldiers, and their entire bodies had a metallic texture.
The White Tiger is the sacred beast of the West. It is in charge of killing and belongs to the element Gengjin. Xue Rengui almost perfectly reproduced all the descriptions of the sacred beast in the legend, which made the fighting capacity of his soldiers much higher.
This is the blessing that a top general brings to the troops. Pure force has little impact on the war, but with high bonuses, top generals almost determine the direction of a war.
As the saying goes, it is easy to get thousands of soldiers but difficult to get a good general. The general here does not refer to the knights or military generals like Wang Yue and Dian Wei, but those generals who can lead troops to fight.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle. In this head-on battle, nothing else mattered and all that remained was a collision of iron, blood and will.
When Xue Rengui started looking for Jin Eun-yun, he suddenly found that Jin Eun-yun had disappeared.
"Coward!" Xue Rengui was so angry that he abandoned his soldiers and ran away. How could such a man be worthy of being a general?
"The enemy general is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!" Xue Rengui angrily beheaded a small leader, then used his painted halberd to pierce the small leader's body and raised it high, shouting loudly in Goryeo.
Fortunately, he learned some basic Goryeo language early on, otherwise Kim Eun-yoon's plan might have succeeded today.
The Goryeo soldiers, who had been fighting to the death, suddenly became listless. The Goryeo soldiers, who had lost their courage, quickly began to collapse and then began to surrender one after another.
It's not that several small leaders failed to recognize that the body in Xue Rengui's hands was not Jin Eun-yoon, but after recognizing him, even greater despair struck their hearts. While they were fighting bloody battles, Jin Eun-yoon, the commander, actually ran away.
This was a huge blow to them. They were Kim Eun-yoon's trusted and loyal troops. It was not that they were unable to sacrifice for Kim Eun-yoon, but they could not accept Kim Eun-yoon's direct betrayal of them.
As the Goryeo soldiers began to give up resistance, the clouds in the sky began to slowly dissipate, and Xue Rengui's strength began to gradually return to normal.
With his extraordinary willpower, Xue Rengui almost instantly sensed Jin Eun-yun's voice and shadow, which had already approached the central army camp.
Xue Rengui could only give up in hatred and hope to meet this damn guy again in the future. Deserting from the battlefield is simply being a coward among cowards.
Kim Eun-yoon ran into the central army camp in a panic and looked at Park Soo-ya's body on the ground. He didn't know what had happened and why Park Soo-ya, the commander of the rear army camp, was lying on the ground in the form of a corpse.
