Chapter 784 Counterattack
Mu Yao's younger brothers all agreed with each other, all of whom seemed a little anxious. Mu Yang frowned and said, "This matter was indeed unexpected. I originally thought that the king personally led a large army to attack and could defeat Lu Bu in a few days to capture Liaodong. However, I didn't expect that this war would be so delayed, and the king's army could not succeed for a long time, and both sides suffered heavy casualties!"
Mu Yao couldn't help asking, "Father, do you think the king's army can break the city and defeat Lu Bu?" Mu Yang said firmly: "It must be possible! The king's army is 250,000, and Lu Bu is only 70,000, and nearly half of them are local civilian troops and the newly recruited new troops. How can it be better than the king? It's only a matter of time before the king defeats Lu Bu and breaks Liaodong!" Mu Yao and others felt much more at ease and nodded.
Mu Yang thought, "It was indeed very unexpected that Lu Bu resisted the king's fierce attack for ten days. However, after these ten days of fierce battle, Lu Bu's troops must have been exhausted! I guess, in just a few days, the king will be able to break through the city!" Looking at Mu Yao and his brothers, he reminded him, "You brothers must be prepared at all times from now on. Once Lu Bu can't resist, we will take action immediately!" Mu Yao and his brothers agreed together.
Inside the Goguryeo tent outside the city, Goguryeo King Gao Tai and his men looked very tired. No wonder, they were unable to make achievements after ten days of fierce battles, so why didn’t they exhaust themselves physically and mentally?
Gao Tai looked at Tie Yongnan and asked, "What's the situation in the army?" Tie Yongnan clasped his fists and said, "The more than 100,000 troops attacked were exhausted, and there were great casualties! King, it's time for us to implement the second plan!" Gao Tai couldn't help but look at Defang. Defang hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "King, although he couldn't break the city today, this was also expected. I carefully observed it today and found that the enemy was at the end of his strength. We will send the reserve troops to attack the city tomorrow, and we will definitely break the enemy into the city in one fell swoop!" Gao Tai nodded and said, "Okay! I will transfer the reserve troops to attack the city tomorrow, and I must succeed in one fell swoop!" Everyone agreed.
Early the next morning, the sound of Goguli's war drums broke the silence of the morning. Under the brilliance of the rising sun, Goguli's reserve troops rushed out and concentrated their forces to launch a fierce attack on the north gate of Liaodong County. This reserve troops were a powerful army, and this attack was extraordinary. The army was like a tide, the offensive was like fire, and it rushed towards the city. The exhausted defenders could not stop the enemy from being under the city wall. Soon, many cities rushed to Goguli.
Army! The Gogurye Li army rushed up to the city and attacked the Qin army at the city. The Qin army fought to the death. On the city, there were swords and swords flying everywhere. The Qin army officers and soldiers tried their best to resist. However, the Gogurye Li army's offensive wave after wave, and the battle lasted for only more than an hour. The danger was already everywhere on the city. The Qin army officers and soldiers fell in pools of blood. The Qin army's defense line seemed like a dam facing the storm, and it was already shaking!
Seeing this, Gao Tai finally showed a joyful expression on his face. He saw more and more officers and soldiers rushing up from all over the city, and he was about to completely break the Qin army's defense line!
Suddenly, a ball of light surged from the top of the city! It turned out that a flame was rising from the top of the city. Gao Tai and others didn't care at first, but what they expected was that the flames kept rising from the top of the city and spread rapidly along the city wall. In a short while, the rolling flames almost completely enveloped the city! It turned out that the Qin army, who had fought to the last moment, ignited the dry firewood and fire oil arranged on the city head in advance. The dry firewood and oil burned quickly when they encountered fire, and were out of control! The officers and soldiers of Gogurye who rushed to the city head did not expect that the Qin army would use this tactic of death together, and they were instantly caught in the sea of fire and screamed! Gao Tai and others in the distance saw countless burning human bodies running around, and firemen kept falling from the city head, unable to help but look pale and shocked!
The Gogurye Army under the city wall had stopped attacking and looked at the terrifying scene on the city in panic. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
Gao Tai couldn't help but curse, "Fighting the trapped beasts! Damn Han people! When the fire is extinguished, I see what tricks you have!"
At this moment, a rumbling drum sounded suddenly from the city gate tower surrounded by flames! On this fire battlefield, the huge drum sounded earth-shaking! Gao Tai and others looked at the city gate tower together, and their faces showed an inexplicable expression, because the drum sound was ordered to be a signal that the Qin army would only launch a full-scale attack!
Before Gao Tai and others understood what was going on, the city gate suddenly opened. The 30,000 Qin army's new forces rushed out like a flood that opened the gate! It was like a tiger coming out of the cage, with murderous aura soaring into the sky. The general in the lead was nothing but Qin King Lu Bu! The Fangtian Painted Ridge in his hand, and the red rabbit dragon horse under his crotch, was majestic and astonishing, just like the god of war descended to earth!
Lord Gao Tai was surprised. Gao Tai couldn't help but open his eyes and shouted, "What's going on?" Defang, who was standing beside him, looked dumbfounded. He didn't understand how the Qin army would have 30,000 new forces out of the city? In fact, the reason was very simple, because the main force of the Qin army had not been involved in the battle in these days. The matter of fighting was seven thousand Qin army, tens of thousands of Liaodong army and Gao Chi's civilian army recruited these days. And Ailang said that the time to wait for the attack was at this time.
Ailang led 30,000 Qin troops to suddenly rush out of the city and rushed straight to the Goguli army like tigers and wolves. The Goguli army was completely unprepared, and the generals of each division shouted urgently, but the Goguli army were in chaos and could not be arranged into a defensive formation in time! After a while, the Qin army, like a tiger, rushed into the middle of the Goguli army with fierce roars like wild beasts, and slashed wildly. On the battlefield, the sword lights danced and flesh flew everywhere. The Goguli officers and soldiers were killed and blood were flying, and the formation was chaotic. The officers and soldiers were frightened and frightened!
In just a moment, the Gogurye's army under the city wall was destroyed and rushed backwards. The Qin army chased the Gogurye's defeated soldiers and rushed towards Gao Tai's central army formation!
Before the defeated soldiers of Gogurye fled to their own military formation, they immediately separated the two sides and fled through both sides of the formation. The Goguryee people were not a mob, and did not panic and disrupt their own military formation.
The Qin army rushed to the front of the Goguli Formation. At this time, Gao Yuan raised the spear in his hand and waved it forward, shouting, "Shoot the arrow!" The Goguli crossbowman, who had been ready to go, immediately emitted a rain of arrows and flew towards the rushing Qin army! The Qin army's shield player immediately stepped forward and quickly formed a shield curtain. The second wave of arrows that followed hit the Qin army's shield! The Qin army was ready to shoot over the other side's crossbow, and the shield curtain quickly retreated. The Qin army's crossbowman, who was ready to go, immediately raised his divine arm bow and fired a powerful rain of arrows towards the Goguli army in front! With the howling sound of the arrow rain, the Goguli officers and soldiers were immediately shot down a large area. Some arrows actually nailed the person behind him to the ground after shooting through the neck of a Goguli army!
The originally rigorous defense line turned into a scene full of holes after the Qin army's crossbowmen's shooting! The Qin army rushed forward, with heavy infantry in front and other infantry in the back, and fiercely collided on the Goguli defense line! The Goguli army tried its best to resist, but these officers and soldiers who had already exhausted their spirits could not resist the Qin army's fierce attack, and the defense line collapsed in an instant!
The officers and soldiers of Gogurye fell to the ground in succession, and the Qin army soldiers waved their swords and guns and rushed into the formation, and their direction was unstoppable! The Qin army soldiers became more and more brave as they fought, and their roars were like tigers, wielding swords and guns to kill wildly. At this moment, the Qin army soldiers were simply evil ghosts who came out of hell to plunder life. The officers and soldiers of Goguryeee became more and more frightened, and the formation became more and more chaotic. People kept turning around to escape, and the entire military formation was completely in chaos. Gao Tai roared with a loud voice, but was drowned in this chaotic and turbulent battlefield and could not attract the attention of others.
Not long after, the Goguli army completely collapsed and was defeated like a mountain! Hundreds of thousands of people turned around and rushed, scrambling to each other, and countless dead! The Qin army pursued and killed each other ruthlessly, with iron hooves trampling and swords and guns, and blood waves rose up on the ground! An Goguli officer rolled and crawled to escape, and the horse hooves behind him were loud. Before the officer could react, he was knocked to the ground by the other party's war horses! The officer beat a few on the ground and sat under a camphor tree. Seeing the Qin cavalry riding a horse in front of him, he was extremely frightened.
He couldn't help but beg for mercy in stiff Chinese: "Give me your life! Get me your life!..." The Qin cavalry seemed to have not heard it, and raised the horse spear in his hand and stabbed it out. The horse spear pierced through the chest of the officer Goguli! The officer Goguli sprayed blood in his mouth, and his eyes showed an expression of extreme fear! The Qin cavalry pulled out the horse spear and urged the horse to continue chasing other enemies! These Qin soldiers were ruthless in killing. Under Ailang's training, they had already become cold-blooded and ruthless killing machines!
The army of Gogurye was defeated and retreated into the camp. Then he didn't care that many people had not escaped into the camp, so he closed the camp gate and prepared to use the camp to resist the Qin army's attack. At this time, the earth trembled, and the Qin army separated to both sides. Thousands of heavy-armored cavalry covered the sight of the Goguryee people. The heavy-armored war cavalry rushed, the mountains and rivers trembled, and the vast murderous aura was overwhelming. Before the battle was fought, Goguryee was already frightened and panicked! Gao Tai widened his eyes and shouted in dismay: "What is this?" This was the first time that the Goguryee people saw the heavy-armored cavalry of the Qin army, so he was so shocked!
