Chapter 639: Defeated

"Boom!"

The sound of galloping horses' hooves was particularly loud in the silent night, and at this moment the Goguryeo cavalry was only 100 meters away from the enemy's camp, and even if the enemy army reacted, it was too late, and the enemy army would be crushed under the hooves of Goguryeo's horses.

"Ready... Shoot!"

"Woohoo!"

However, before the Goguryeo cavalry could be happy, a roar was suddenly heard in front of them, followed by the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air, accompanied by countless arrows falling from the sky.

"Ahh

"There is an ambush..."

"What's going on..."

The Goguryeo cavalry who rushed to the front could even shout out the screams completely, but they were already drowned, and in the dark night, no one could see how many people had fallen, and they could only hear the cries of pain from time to time, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. Obviously, there are not a few people who have fallen.

Gao Jianwu's eyes were red, and a flush flashed on his face, he had expected a perfect night attack, but he didn't expect the other party to be prepared. However, at this moment, it is too late to retreat, and Gao Jianwu immediately turned his heart sideways.

"Warriors, our king, our family is watching us from behind. The enemy's bows and arrows cannot resist our determination to defend our homeland, let the bravery of our Goguryeo warriors let them know that Goguryeo is not to be taken lightly, and with the long knives in your hands, you will kill the enemies who dare to invade our homeland!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Gao Jianwu's unhurried encouragement still had some effect, and the cavalry, who were already a little flustered, made up their minds again, held the reins of their horses, brandished their long knives, and rushed towards the enemy camp in front.

"The archers retreat and prepare, the pikemen step forward!"

However, no matter how fierce the Goguryeo soldiers were, the generals in command on the opposite side were not in a hurry, calmly giving orders one by one, and there was not much panic at all. Gao Jianwu also seemed to hear the voice of the other general, and his heart sank, the other party's general did not panic in the face of the cavalry charge, and he was obviously also a capable general. It's just that now that the arrow is ready to be sent, Gao Jianwu can't care about anything else, so he can only continue.

"Woohoo!"

"Kill, for the sake of our king, for the sake of our family, kill the thieves who dare to invade our Goguryeo!"

"Defend the family and the country!"

The Goguryeo cavalry seemed to have forgotten their lives and deaths, and rushed towards the enemy camp with no relent. However, no matter how commendable their courage may be, they are useless in the face of bows and arrows that are like raindrops. The charging Goguryeo cavalry still kept people falling, and this short 100 meters was like a road to death, and anyone who wanted to cross it could only pay with their lives.

"This is..."

"How could it be..."

When the Goguryeo cavalry, after paying countless lives, finally charged in front of the enemy's camp. However, when they saw the neatly lined up horses in front of the camp gate, these Goguryeo cavalry collapsed and despaired, how could they break through such a defense. The night gives a natural protection for night raids, but when you don't get close to the enemy's camp, you can also bring wrong information to your side. Obviously, the Goguryeo scouts were not able to approach the enemy's camp, so they were not able to detect these rejections, or rather, when the Goguryeo scouts came to investigate, the rejections may not have been laid out, and when they returned to report, these rejections were put on the table, just to wait for their arrival. In other words, Goguryeo's actions are completely under the control of the other side, so where do they have a chance of winning such a war?

"General, the enemy army has been prepared for a long time, and now we can't do anything, our army should withdraw first, otherwise it will be too late. Gao Jianwu's lieutenant said urgently.

"Damn!"

Gao Jianwu's face was full of anger, he didn't expect that his perfect night attack plan was completely under the other party's nose, but his own side was played with between applause, what a strong blow it was for him. Although he really wanted to cut down the lieutenant general who hit his morale, Gao Jianwu knew that what the lieutenant general said was right, the other party was well prepared, and the night attack was simply a pitiful joke, and any words were superfluous now. Thinking of this, Gao Jianwu was also extremely decisive, and soon made a decision.

"Come, hurry back to the city to report to the city and prepare to meet the enemy. The front army of the infantry turned to the rear army, and the rear army turned to the front army, and slowly retreated, so as not to mess up the formation and guard against the enemy's pursuit. ”

This place is only five miles away from Marudu City, and Gao Jianwu believes that he can still evacuate safely.

"Wow!"

"Boom!"

However, not long after Gao Jianwu comforted himself, a roar of horses and the roar of cavalry running came, which made his face suddenly pale, but he forgot that the other party also had cavalry, and the number was not less than them. At this moment, the other party is waiting for work, can they really retreat to the city safely?

"Kill!"

"Catch the enemy's main general, and the general will be promoted to three levels, and the bounty will be a thousand taels!"

"Catch the rest of the generals at all levels, promote the official to one level, and reward one hundred taels!"

Hearing the shouts from the opposite side, Gao Jianwu immediately turned around his horse and fled towards Marudu City under the escort of his own soldiers. Nowadays, saving one's life is the most important thing, and as for the little soldiers, they can only ask for more blessings.

"The general has run away, let's run quickly!"

"I don't want to die, I surrender!"

After Gao Jianwu took the lead in starting to flee, the remaining Goguryeo soldiers also began to collapse, some fled, and some laid down their arms and surrendered. In short, the scene was extremely chaotic. And Gao Jianwu, who was on the run, also regretted it a little, his reaction just now was still not calm enough, otherwise, as long as he could command, under the cover of the night, with the rest of the soldiers and horses, he would be able to bring most of the soldiers back. Now, because of his actions, the formation of the soldiers has been messed up, which has made it easier for the enemy to harvest heads. It's just that the matter has come to this point, and it's too late for him to regret it, and he can't gather the soldiers who are in turmoil.

Gao Jianwu fled frantically, and finally saw that the wall of Marudu City was in front of him, and there were only more than 3,000 cavalry following behind him, and the infantry could not see one, and no matter how fast the two-legged one ran, it could not catch up with the four-legged horse. As for how many 10,000 infantry can come back, Gao Jianwu doesn't have much hope. There was a sadness in his heart, and he went to attack the camp with great ambition, but in the end he returned with a fiasco, and Gao Jianwu didn't know how to face Gao Delu.

The enemy troops chasing behind him also seemed to see that Marudu Castle was in front of them, and they also gave up the pursuit, turned around and went to kill the Goguryeo soldiers who had fallen behind.

"Although they expected our side to attack at night, they are still a bad move, if they know how to drive away the defeated soldiers, they can take the opportunity to capture the city of Maru, it seems that their strategists are still not smart enough, everyone is at most drawn. This time they prepared in advance, maybe it was just luck, and next time, General Ben will definitely take revenge. ”

Gao Jianwu comforted himself for a while, and led the defeated soldiers towards the city gate.
