Chapter 388 Yeon Gaesomun's Ambition
"Are you wondering why Park Soo-ya died? There is no doubt that he was defeated by the Han army just like you." Yeon Gaesomun said lightly. It was the first time he discovered that these generals were really novices in foreign wars but experts in civil wars.
When we fought him, we united as a front and beat him so hard that he couldn't even raise his head. But now he is fighting abroad with a large army but he is pinned to the ground.
Especially this Park Soo-ya, who is simply a waste among wastes. Even if he is a pig leading 10,000 soldiers, he will not come back dead. He obviously has elite troops under his command. How stupid does he have to be to go and challenge someone in a duel?
Even Yeon Gaesomun didn't have the confidence to charge into the formation with his internal energy leaving his body while covered by clouds. He was hacked to death when he met a tough opponent.
Yan Liang on the other side was also surprised. He thought it was just a minion, but until he killed Park Soo-ya and all the soldiers rushed to snatch Park Soo-ya's body from him like crazy, he realized it was a big fish.
But since he had already killed them, he didn't think much about it and simply returned the body to Park Soo-ya's personal guards. Then he watched Park Soo-ya's personal guards leave with the body. The morale of the remaining Goryeo soldiers collapsed.
The whole process went so smoothly that Yan Liang couldn't believe it. It was as if they had set a bait deliberately.
However, the entire camp was captured by him and Yan Rou. Even if it was a bait, it was too big.
When Yeon Gaesomun got the body from the undercover agent he had planted next to Park Soo-ya, he was completely stunned. He originally thought that the Han army was just going to weaken these generals. After all, these people who could suppress him were not useless.
But who would have thought that one person had died before the night was even half over? The efficiency of the Han army was so astonishing.
At the same time, Yeon Gaesomun felt a little powerless. What kind of people were suppressing him?
"What's going on with you?" Yeon Gaesomun looked up at the disheveled Kim Eun-yoon. He was a little better than the loser on the ground. At least he was able to run back alive.
"The Han army can control the celestial phenomena. The lower-level soldiers cannot see at night and suffered a heavy defeat!" Kim Eun-yoon said casually, then squatted on the ground to check Park Soo- ya's body.
A huge cut was made on the shoulder, basically killing him with one blow.
"Do you mean that your soldiers have been defeated ?" Yeon Gaesomun turned around slowly this time and stared at Kim Eun-yoon and said.
"Well, if it weren't for the desperate fight of my personal guards, I would have been dead. I can only wait until dawn to gather the defeated soldiers!" Jin Eun-yoon said without raising his head.
He did not mention a word about deserting the battlefield. Instead, he said that his personal guards took the initiative to cover his retreat and fought to the death. Even Yeon Gaesomun did not notice anything wrong with it.
But Kim Eun-yoon suddenly felt something was wrong. Why did he feel the sudden murderous intent?
"Since your troops have been dispersed, there is no need for you to live!"
Yeon Gaesomun bared his fangs. Kim Eun-yoon, who had no soldiers under his command, was just a person with internal energy leaving his body. What was the point for such a person to continue living?
He was originally worried that killing Jin Enyun would arouse hatred among the soldiers in the front army camp, making it inconvenient for him to control the army. He didn't expect that Jin Enyun, this waste, had no soldiers under his command. This was a godsend opportunity.
"You can't kill me! I'm from the Jin family!" Kim Eun-yoon quickly used his internal energy to condense a spear to protect himself, while Yeon Gaesomun reached out and took his weapon from the weapon rack.
"The entire central camp is my territory. Today is the day you die! I never thought that this war would bring me so many surprises." Yeon Gaesomun said happily, and one could tell from his relaxed words that he was really happy.
After all, Kim Eun-yoon was a veteran of the battlefield, and he immediately rushed towards Yeon Gaesomun with a gun. This was Yeon Gaesomun's territory, and he had no chance of survival except to kill Yeon Gaesomun and seize power.
Knowing that he was no match for his opponent, Kim Eun-yoon held the gun and aimed it at Yeon Gaesomun's chest without dodging, as if he was willing to exchange his injury for his life.
However, Yeon Gaesomun did not show any expression and greeted Kim Eun-yoon with a sneer.
After Kim Eun-yoon discovered that Yeon Gaesomun was not afraid at all, he realized that he had no choice at all. He roared and burst out with all his strength to stab Yeon Gaesomun.
"Puchi!" Yeon Gaesomun's gun arrived first and successfully pierced Kim Eun-yoon's heart, and then he exhaled his internal energy, directly shattering all of Kim Eun-yoon's internal organs.
In just a moment, Jin Enyun died completely, without even having the chance to beg for mercy.
Yeon Gaesomun sneered and pulled the gun out of Kim Eun-yoon's chest, then threw Kim Eun-yoon's body to the ground.
"If you really have the courage to exchange your life with mine, you wouldn't come back like this! But you did give me a reminder." Yeon Gaesomun said as he shook off the blood on the tip of the gun.
"All troops listen up! The Han army is launching a night attack. Everyone must be fully armed immediately and form a battle formation to hold their ground. Do not move around at will!" Yeon Gaesomun then shouted, and his voice spread throughout the entire central army.
All the soldiers in the central army immediately began to prepare busily, while Yeon Gaesomun slowly returned to his seat.
Jin Enyun reminded him of the problem of soldiers at night. He originally thought that everyone should be the same, being completely dark at night. He did not expect that the soldiers of the Han army did not have this problem.
His wealth was not as great as that of nobles like Kim Eun-yoon, and the problems that his soldiers had were naturally also present in Yeon Gaesomun's subordinates.
After returning home, he must start to solve this problem, otherwise the night will become a fatal flaw for them in Goryeo.
"It seems that the Han army wants to swallow the entire army in one bite tonight. With such a big appetite, I don't know if their teeth are strong enough!" Yeon Gaesomun was unmoved. The camp that stretched for hundreds of miles was not so easy to destroy.
"I heard that the navy in the south was defeated by Japan, and they didn't even reach the coast of the Han Dynasty. In this North-South agreement, our North won a great victory. When we go back, we will force Yi Sun-sin to surrender first, and then seek further progress."
Yeon Gaesomun looked at the information on his desk and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. Goryeo was bound to lose this battle, but he didn't lose.
First, he kicked away a few stumbling blocks, and then Lee Sun-sin returned in defeat. All he had to do was wait until daybreak to lead the army to retreat, and the drama would be over. It would not be a bad idea for him to come back after unifying Goryeo to avenge his previous humiliation.
"Xue Rengui is such an exciting opponent!"
Yeon Gaesomun touched the scar on his chest, which was the mark left on him by Xue Rengui with his Fang Tian Hua Ji.
He deliberately kept the scar to remind himself not to make the same mistake again.
The arrogance he developed in China eventually paid a huge price. If he had not looked down on Xue Rengui, he would not have been defeated so easily.
Even if he was defeated, the battle would be continued for thousands of rounds. There was no way he would be defeated in just a few hundred rounds. If he did not have many soldiers and generals, he would have died at the hands of Xue Rengui that day. How could he have waited for such a good opportunity now?
"Report, Da Duilu, both the left and right camps have sent people to ask for help!" The messenger brought new news at the right time.
After hearing the news, Yeon Gaesomun nodded with relief. At least there were still normal people, and the country would not be defeated to the point that he could not understand.
"Mobilize the First Army of the Three Han Cavalry to head towards the left army camp. If there is a chance, lend a helping hand. If there is no chance, observe the situation and prioritize your own safety!"
"At the same time, mobilize the First Mixed Army of the Three Koreas to advance towards the right army camp. Act according to circumstances and pick up the defeated soldiers along the way. Also, prioritize your own safety."
The terrain of the left army camp is flat, so it is appropriate to mobilize the Three Han cavalry for assistance. The terrain of the right army camp is more rugged, so it is more appropriate to mobilize a mixed army to provide support.
Yeon Gaesomun said with a little tiredness that he could no longer sit on the sidelines and watch the fight between two tigers after losing two camps at once.
If all four battalions collapsed, it would be unknown whether he could withdraw after daybreak.
As Yeon Gaesomun was speaking, he suddenly thought of something and added another order.
"Quickly notify all camps to defend against night attacks. They must hold their ground and not open the camps. We will provide support after daybreak."
He suddenly thought of the defeated front army and the scattered soldiers of the rear army, who would inevitably attack the camps of the left and right camps. Wouldn't it be dangerous if there were Han troops in disguise among them?
On the other side, Gao Lan, disguised as a defeated soldier, had already begun to enter the right army camp, and Yuwen Chengdu, who was pretending to be chasing him, also began to attack the camp like the wind. In the panic, no one checked Gao Lan and others.
"Is it so smooth?" Gao Lan, who had brought his soldiers to the center of the right army camp, had a look of disbelief on his face.
"Stop! Which department are you from?" Suddenly, a passing officer looked at Gao Lan and others who seemed out of place and asked.
In fact, he just felt that Gao Lan looked a little unfamiliar and asked out of curiosity. After all, Gao Lan's height stood out among the Goryeo people.
But Gao Lan could not understand Korean. When he saw an officer questioning them loudly, he thought he had been exposed and jumped up immediately.
"Exposed! Kill!" He activated his legion talent in an instant, and the fiery fluorescence covered the bodies of the soldiers.
The soldiers who were possessed by the fluorescent light suddenly achieved drastic improvements in all aspects. They immediately rushed towards the central army camp and killed all the officers and soldiers who blocked their way. For a while, the command center of the right army camp was in chaos.
All the Goryeo officers who had gathered together were blocked in the big tent by Gao Lan, and the soldiers defending the camp had no one to lead them.
The few junior officers on patrol duty had already fallen under Yuwen Chengdu's bows and arrows. Yuwen Chengdu was not very good at bows and arrows, but he could still kill these minions one by one.
The soldiers guarding the camp gradually felt overwhelmed, especially since they could not see how many enemies there were in the darkness.
The camp was brightly lit, but outside it seemed as if there were thousands of troops, continuously attacking the camp they were defending.
