Chapter 618: The Destruction of Goryeo
Changshui's explosive arrows may be a powerful deterrent to other legions, but to the infantry battalion that has been completely transformed into shield guards, it is just a tickle.
In their current state, they can even compete with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry of the Imperial Guard, but it is estimated that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry may not want the title of the first heavy infantry.
So they are basically the strongest heavy infantry of the Han Dynasty at present. The old version of Changshui can never break their defense with a full-strength attack, and the new version of Changshui that relies entirely on explosive arrows is even less likely to break their defense.
They who had endured a round of arrow rain from Changshui said that the explosion was a bit loud, but they didn't feel anything else.
They took their positions according to Guo Hao's instructions and formed a new formation, completely blocking the retreat route of the rear half of the Goryeo soldiers.
"Wenhe, your Yin and Yang Qi strangling formation is really powerful!"
Looking at the formation that cut off the transmission of Goryeo's cloud energy, Guo Hao exclaimed in admiration from the bottom of his heart.
Although the name is quite flawed, it is indeed Jia Xu's trump card Xuanxiang Formation.
"Hahahaha, General, your command is brilliant!"
Although Jia Xu looked as if it was not worth mentioning, he was actually extremely proud of himself.
After all, this formation is his trump card. Basically, every strategist has his own Xuanxiang formation, and the Yin-Yang Qi Strangling Formation is what he reversed from the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation.
You can tell its effect from the name. The effect is like this. It can cut off the opponent's cloud transmission in the chaos of battle, while your own cloud transmission will not be affected.
It looks simple, but it is indeed extremely exquisite, and it seems to be returning to nature.
Guo Hao cut off the organizational ability among the Goryeo soldiers, and the formation cut off the transmission of cloud gas. The fate of the surrounded Goryeo soldiers was already determined, and there was no need to pay any more attention to them.
As for the soldiers at the other three gates, it is even less likely that they can cause any big waves. There is no need to elaborate on the South Gate where Xue Rengui and Lu Bu are stationed.
Gao Shun was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep when he led the vanguard . Wherever he went, the Goryeo soldiers suffered heavy casualties.
And Lu Bu, who was unstopped by anyone, was like a rampaging armored vehicle. All the defense lines and formations were destroyed by Lu Bu, and he was madly cutting through the Goryeo army.
In fact, as long as the gods at the South Gate join forces, it would be impossible for Lu Bu to act so recklessly. After all, the cloud energy has a severe impact on compressing everyone's strength.
Originally the difference between 100 and 10 was 90, but under the clouds the difference might only be 9 or even less, so as long as a few people joined forces, stopping Lu Bu would not be a problem.
Unfortunately, Lu Bu had a bad reputation, and these gods only wanted to escape and protect themselves, so how could they have the courage to stop Lu Bu from wreaking havoc?
Anyway, those who died were just ants, and they didn't want to face the ferocious Lu Bu for the sake of ants.
Although Ximen was in confusion for a while, the situation was immediately reversed after Feixiong entered the scene.
Gao Lan and Zhang He were famous generals in their own right, and all of their men were elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty, although the battlefield was temporarily thrown into chaos by the large number of fearless Korean soldiers at the west gate.
But after Hua Xiong brought Fei Xiong into the game, they immediately used Fei Xiong's dominance to stabilize their formation.
After all, the military soul and the three talents themselves have already begun to touch miracles, and they already have the power to distort reality to create inevitable results.
"Not bad. Gao Lan and Zhang He didn't disappoint me too much. They have stabilized their position. It's only a matter of time before they win."
Guo Hao was not very satisfied with the battle situation of Gao Lan and Zhang He. They had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. To be on the safe side, he even assigned the Shesheng Battalion to Ximen. Even with such a powerful sniper force, Gao Lan and Zhang He were still in chaos for a while.
However, seeing that the two had stabilized the situation and were rapidly expanding their victory, Guo Hao did not say anything else.
I just made note of the two in my heart, intending to let the three military gods teach them some more later.
What the Han Dynasty needs is not just generals who can fight favorable battles, but at least generals who can withstand pressure and not be defeated.
In comparison, Han Shizhong at the East Gate was much more outstanding. Although the military strength of the East Gate was not advantageous, Han Shizhong had firmly controlled the situation before the arrival of the Sun Cavalry, and had even begun to counter-encircle and suppress the Goryeo soldiers.
After the Sun Cavalry joined the battle, the process of destroying the Goryeo army was accelerated several times.
Guo Hao looked at the battle situation at the west gate and couldn't help but smile. After all, the Sun Riders were his personal guards, and their performance under the sun already possessed the combat effectiveness of a pseudo-military spirit.
With such strength, becoming a half-military soul would be a natural thing after conquering Goryeo, and maybe he could even try to become a complete military soul.
The situation on the entire battlefield is very good.
Only Yeon Gaesomun's remnant troops were left, and it was impossible for them to cause any more trouble.
At this point, they had basically won the victory. What they needed to do next was to firmly end the occupation, reap all the spoils of war, and then march north as victors to wipe out the Northern Huns.
“Damn it!”
As the army was cut off, Yeon Gaesomun knew that the game was over. If the possibility of killing Guo Hao and winning was 30% before, it was probably only 10% now.
More importantly, their lone advancing army was simply unable to break through the obstruction of the generals in front of them.
Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Yuwen Chengdu, Guan Ping...
Each of them is an opponent who is on par with the Goryeo gods. After their so-called momentum was blocked, victory has become a luxury.
"Go to hell, go to hell!"
With a grim look on his face, Yeon Gaesomun waved his spear to force Dian Wei in front of him back, and slashed out a dazzling ray of light, trying to cut Dian Wei in half.
Unfortunately, Dian Wei blocked it easily. Dian Wei's weapon was cut off in the previous confrontation, but Dian Wei really relied on his body. His pair of iron hands were no less than any magic weapon.
Even after his weapon was cut off, Dian Wei became even more ferocious.
After all, weapons are just an extension of fists and feet. No matter how good your martial arts are, they are not as convenient as fists and feet.
“Poof~”
After taking another punch from Dian Wei and creating some distance between them, Yeon Gaesomun spat out a mouthful of blood.
Dian Wei's punch was really too heavy. In this situation where they couldn't keep distance, the wounds he left on Dian Wei were few and far between, but Dian Wei had already smashed his internal organs.
If it weren't for the blood sacrifice secret technique that was used before to repair him, he would have been a corpse now.
After vomiting blood, Yeon Gaesomun's hair was disheveled, and his original heroic appearance had long disappeared, leaving only endless embarrassment.
Looking around, Yeon Gaesomun discovered sadly that he no longer had any strength to mobilize and no one was free to help.
The only advantage they may have is when facing the two younger gods, Guan Ping and Lu Lingqi.
However, under the clouds, they had no way to turn their advantage into victory. Even Guan Ping and his team were making rapid progress under the pressure.
"I won't give up!" Yeon Gaesomun couldn't accept it. "I still have one last killer move!"
Yeon Gaesomun was like a madman, and Dian Wei's strength was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
He was very sure that he was now stronger than his former enemy Xue Rengui, but even with such strength, he still could not make any progress in front of Dian Wei.
All these blows destroyed his last bit of dignity.
"This is Goryeo's final masterpiece!"
Yeon Gaesomun held a long spear like a madman, and then suddenly grabbed behind himself.
Wisps of air burst out from the Goryeo royal city and gathered towards Yeon Gaesomun. Then a pillar of light that penetrated the sky and the earth tore apart the shackles of the sky.
In desperation, Yeon Gaesomun took the last step and took the initiative to carry the embryonic form of the imperial will, which was already a mess.
The imperial will itself is the product of belief. Even if it is just a prototype that is neither fish nor fowl, it still has great imperfections.
Thinking back to when Zhang Jiao stole the Han Empire's will and created the prototype of the Yellow Turban Empire's will, it was like a rootless duckweed, which was enough to make Zhang Jiao go against the will of the heavens.
After all, Goryeo was a kingdom close to the empire, and after the blood sacrifice of the entire Goryeo, the power of the Sibu Xiang became even greater and more violent.
"Sure enough, a war of annihilation that is close to an imperial war is bound to be without accidents!"
Guo Hao looked at the beam of light that pierced through the sky and earth and shook his head helplessly.
Yeon Gaesomun forcibly sacrificed the will of the empire in exchange for powerful strength and forcibly broke through the realm.
At this moment, Yeon Gaesomun is Lu Bu whose heart tribulation has erupted, and he still has such strength under the clouds.
If Yeon Gaesomun was really allowed to kill without restraint, at least a few guards would have to be sacrificed in order to delay the outbreak.
Looking at Yeon Gaesomun who was still absorbing power, Guo Hao had no interest in waiting for him to finish accumulating power.
"Where is the Yulin Army? Follow me and kill him!"
Guo Hao shouted loudly and took the lead to face Yeon Gaesomun.
The sun above the sky became brighter, casting countless rays of light onto the Yulin Army.
The sun he hung in the sky was not just a decoration. It could bless the status of the Han soldiers on the battlefield at any time. Although the effect was not as significant as that of the Sun Cavalry, it also provided a lot of bonus.
And when Guo Hao uses all his strength, he can even amplify the Yulin Army.
"The Yulin Army is here!"
"Brothers, go with the general!"
The commander of the Yulin Army, Wang Min, turned his head and greeted him, then stepped out.
"The wings of the country are as abundant as a forest!"
Along with the oath that was as loud as a tsunami, his aura grew stronger and his aura grew stronger with each word of his slogan.
When the oath is fulfilled, the Yulin Army will perform another miracle.
A fierce momentum burst out from the Yulin Army. At this moment, the sun's light and the Yulin Army's own light echoed with each other, also forming a column of light that reached the sky and the earth.
"This is the Yulin Army, the peak of the Han Dynasty's 400 years!"
Feeling the tremendous power in his body, Guo Hao sneered, and the Tianlong City-Breaking Halberd appeared in his hand.
The brilliant and glorious will condensed onto the Tianlong City-Breaking Halberd, turning it into a light halberd dozens of feet long.
“Die!”
Guo Hao gathered all his strength and threw the dazzling light spear towards Yeon Gaesomun.
As for why Guo Hao was able to catch the light halberd that was more than ten feet long, it can only be said that miracles happen at will.
Yeon Gaesomun, who had just absorbed all the power, tried his best to resist the light halberd.
The light spear thrown by Guo Hao seemed to hit an invisible barrier.
In an instant, a flash of light appeared, and a dazzling light burst out from the point where the two sides collided, dyeing the entire world white.
"I'm not willing to accept this..."
Along with Yeon Gaesomun's last unwilling wail, a crisp sound was heard in the sky. All the Goryeo gods felt the shattering of their internal shackles, and the contract that had bound them was broken.
The restraints faded away, and the feeling of a trapped dragon ascending to heaven suddenly arose.
But for no apparent reason, they also felt a sense of sadness.
Although they had been freed from their shackles and were now free, they still felt sad in their hearts.
The Goryeo soldiers, who had already lost their humanity, could not help but burst into tears. Although their emotions had been cut off, they still felt an inexplicable sadness.
The feeling of sadness came and went quickly, but by the time they came to their senses, it was already too late.
Looking at the Han army around them that was as ferocious as wolves and tigers, they felt the same as Yeon Gaesomun, and they were unwilling to give in.
Freedom is right before their eyes, but they have lost it forever.
"I surrender..."
Some Goryeo gods wanted to surrender, but unfortunately they were filled with resentment and were destined not to be accepted.
"Are people like you worthy of becoming gods and living in this world?"
Faced with the Goryeo gods' begging, Zhao Yun remained completely unmoved and stabbed his spear into their heads.
As early as after seeing the cruel scene of blood sacrifice, he had already sentenced these guys who were called gods but were actually demons to death.
"it's over!"
Zhuge Liang and others who were watching from afar whispered that among the second generation, only Guan Ping and Lu Lingqi could go to the battlefield, and the others were more or less not up to the mark.
The purpose of Guo Hao bringing them here was to use Goryeo to hone them, but unfortunately Goryeo had always been a coward and was cowardly all the way until the final battle.
In order to avoid danger, Guo Hao decisively sent all these guys to the rear to wait and see, leaving only Lu Lingqi and Guan Ping who were capable of protecting themselves.
Both of them have internal energy leaving their bodies. If they can't even go on the battlefield with this kind of strength, what's the point of those soldiers fighting desperately.
"Yes, it's over!" Fa Zheng echoed and fell silent.
A battlefield with millions of people and a top-level kingdom just came to an end. They had some indescribable feelings in their hearts.
And this is not their end, it is just an episode in their Northern Expedition.
The real big boss is still behind, on the Northern Huns.
When they fought against Goryeo, they easily flattened the entire route, but when they fought against the Northern Huns, they mobilized nearly three to four million troops to encircle and suppress them.
If it weren't for the development of people's livelihood, and the fact that Qingzhou and Yizhou were also at war, the number of troops would have to double.
After all, it is never too careful when fighting the Northern Huns.
Goryeo, the rotten fish and shrimp are not worth even a look. If it weren't for the high walls and strong cities, it would be easily flattened.
If a real battle were to take place in the wild, the Han Dynasty could defeat Goryeo twice as fast.
After all, the Han Dynasty had traveled a long distance on an expedition, so it was good enough that the troops could arrive, not to mention transporting the war equipment.
What was used on the battlefield were semi-finished products that were hastily assembled, and the war machines that the Mohists had carefully researched were still on the way.
