Chapter 607: Human Desires Are Like Rolling Stones
“We’re here!”
Guo Hao looked at the clouds rising from the camp in the distance and smiled sincerely. He finally arrived at the front-line camp.
It is really a torture to move with the army. The boring march is not as pleasant as imagined.
"What's the reaction from Goryeo?"
After Guo Hao entered the main camp, he sat on the main seat and asked.
"It's very strange. The other party seems to be preparing some super-large secret technique, but we can't find any relevant information here." Xue Rengui shook his head and said.
"We organized several battles, but because the enemy retreated across the board, our army didn't have any better solution." Xue Rengui said helplessly.
The other side clearly wanted to survive but lose territory, so they did not dare to attack rashly on other people's territory. They could only advance step step, constantly squeezing Goryeo's living space.
The position they have now reached is even deeper than the last time they attacked Goryeo.
"So that's how it is, saving people means losing land?" Guo Hao nodded.
"Gongsun Zan, listen to my orders! Lead the White Horse Volunteers to scout northward. There may be enemy reinforcements here, so General Gongsun Zan, please be attentive." Guo Hao began to give orders directly.
He guessed what Goryeo might be waiting for. On the one hand, it was probably a large-scale secret technique, and on the other hand, it was probably waiting for reinforcements.
Either the Northern Huns in the north or Japan in the east were potential allies of Goryeo.
Japan is not a concern as crossing the sea is too difficult. Even Huangfu Song is still in a stage of trial advancement. Even if Japan can provide support across the sea, its strength is not a concern.
On the contrary, the Northern Huns, a nation on horseback, would be difficult to deal with if they planned to join forces with Goryeo.
But it's just difficult to deal with.
"promise!"
Gongsun Zan was shocked. In an instant he guessed what the so-called northern reinforcements were.
But he didn't feel any pressure, instead he became excited .
What could be more gratifying than killing the Hu people? Under the command of Liu Yu and Jia Xu, the surrounding Hu people were all potential mercenaries and a sharp knife for them to deal with Goryeo.
He hadn't killed any Hu people for a while, and felt like his bones were rusty. Now that he had the opportunity to kill the Northern Huns, he was naturally very excited.
"The army will rest for three days, and then we will split into three groups to launch a general attack. Since the enemy is unwilling to fight us, we will force them to fight us!"
Guo Hao then continued to give orders. Goryeo's wishful thinking was very good, which was nothing more than extending the front line and increasing the logistical pressure on the Han Dynasty, hoping to use logistical pressure to force the Han army to retreat.
Expeditionary campaigns have always been like this: either they push their way through the battlefield and fight to support the war, or they are directly dragged down by logistical pressure and have to withdraw.
Guo Hao did not intend to return empty-handed, so he decided to launch a blitzkrieg.
Use absolutely powerful force to directly defeat all resistance of Goryeo and then erase Goryeo from history.
…
After the Han Dynasty decided on its strategy, Goryeo felt extremely bitter.
They have a secret technique that allows them to eavesdrop on conversations in the Han army camp, an ability they obtained by forcibly sacrificing two half-world-breaking gods.
But this ability has no meaning now. The Han Dynasty has made it clear that they are planning to push forward and attack by force. What is the point even if we know the deployment of the Han army?
You still have to face the attack from the Han Dynasty. This is the highest level of conspiracy - open conspiracy. You know everything, but you just can't stop it. You can only watch open conspiracy crush you.
The biggest trouble facing Goryeo is the four military soul corps.
They are the Yulin Army, the Xianzhen Camp, the Feixiong Army, and the Sun Cavalry.
Well... because Goryeo is relatively weak and has never seen the Legion of Miracles, it puts the Yulin Army at the level of the Military Soul Legion.
Then, because of the information obtained that the Sun Cavalry was the general's personal guard, the Sun Cavalry was placed in the Military Soul Corps.
Rounding it off, there are almost four military soul corps.
Especially since Xianzhen and Feixiong had shown their strength before, Yeon Gaesomun knew clearly that they could not stop the attack of the four military soul legions.
"It's unstoppable. If the Han Dynasty wants to fight, Goryeo can't stop it at all!"
Yeon Gaesomun sat on the seat of the King of Goryeo with bitterness, and he regretted provoking the Han Dynasty.
But the reason he can sit in this position now is because he provoked the Han Dynasty.
Between a bite and a drink, cause and effect are determined by heaven.
With two military souls, Goryeo has used up all its resources, and can hold out by relying on the lives of the dead. It will not be a problem to hold out until the logistics of the Han army collapses.
But now there are four of them, four fully-strength military souls, and Yeon Gaesomun can't think of any solution.
He could only continue to delay time until the Northern Huns moved south, and only then would Goryeo have a chance.
"Send some people to fight the generals. Evacuate all the soldiers from each city except for the ones defending the city. We should delay it for as long as possible!"
"Leave the city intact, burn all the food, and drive the refugees to attack the Han army camp."
Yeon Gaesomun closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and finally decided to delay time.
It’s still the old way, save the people but lose the land, leaving the city intact to hinder the Han Dynasty.
There are a total of eighty-one cities, and except for the last few, all the other cities can be abandoned, just to delay the progress of the Han Dynasty.
"Besides...I agree with your plan, so you can do it yourself!"
Finally, Yeon Gaesomun gritted his teeth and said this.
He had Goryeo in his heart, and it was because of Goryeo that he wanted to be the king of Goryeo himself.
Even though he was once the Great King of Goryeo, he still could not change Goryeo, and the original King of Goryeo could only lead Goryeo to decline.
He felt that Goryeo could only prosper in his hands.
But now, he was a little confused, and he even agreed to the gods' insane blood sacrifice plan.
"It's all for Goryeo. These are necessary sacrifices..."
He could only keep comforting himself that it was all worth it and was a necessary sacrifice to protect Goryeo.
As Yeon Gaesomun's order was issued, the number of Goryeo civilians who died that day had reached hundreds of thousands.
The gods of Goryeo were very smart. They deliberately looked for disabled, elderly people who did not contribute much to the country and who consumed Goryeo's resources.
Then he handed Yeon Gaesomun a satisfactory answer, a double-talented legion of 10,000 people, a double-talented legion built through blood sacrifice.
Yeon Gaesomun knew that these gods took kickbacks, but he didn't care. The double-talented legion was indeed of great help on the battlefield.
Human desires are like stones rolling down a mountain; once they start, there is no way to stop.
Once Yeon Gaesomun's psychological defenses were broken, they could never be closed again.
A legion of 10,000 people with double talents is obviously not enough, Yeon Gaesomun needs more troops.
The next day, another double-talented legion was handed over to Yeon Gaesomun, and more civilians died behind them.
