Chapter 1825: Breaking a bloody path
"What's going on?"
Not only the soldiers of the Tang border army on the opposite side were stunned, but everyone in the Baekje army formation also looked at the Yeon Gaesumun army in front of them who suddenly changed direction and rushed towards them.
The Goguryeo army, which was supposed to be rushing towards the Tang Dynasty's border troops, was actually charging towards them at this moment.
No one reacted at all.
The Baekje general who was assigned to command the army by Li Boming was even more confused at the moment, but before he could react, the Goguryeo army had already rushed in front of their Baekje army.
The Baekje soldiers in the front row were still in a daze, and no one expected that the Goguryeo army would actually attack them.
The weapon flashing with a sharp cold light turned into the scythe of death the moment it was swung at them.
Continuously harvesting the lives of Baekje soldiers.
The archers in the front row had no time to react, and they died tragically under the butcher's knife of the Goguryeo army.
Rows of archers fell before they even had time to react.
Let alone figuring out what happened.
In just a few breaths, the Baekje military formation was immediately rushed in by the Goguryeo army.
"Charge over!" Yeon Gaesumun's voice was drowned in the sound of fighting.
A Baekje soldier blocked Yeon Gaesomun's horse and was split in the middle by Yeongaesomun's sword.
Even until his death, this Baekje soldier didn’t know what happened!
"General, what should I do?"
"Are they crazy?" Beside General Baekje, there were soldiers looking at the Goguryeo army coming towards them in front of them with fear on their faces.
The Baekje general was also distracted at this moment. He suddenly realized that Li Boming had just handed over the command to him inexplicably. He must have known that this would happen.
The Baekje general was already in a state of confusion at this time, but he still couldn't make up his mind.
…
"Sir, Yeon Gaesomun has indeed escaped towards the Baekje military formation." At the Japanese military formation, the Japanese general and Otsuka Yoshio reported the news at this moment.
The smile on Otsuka Yoshio's face became even stronger, even with a hint of madness.
"Command warriors, the Goguryeo army has defected. Everyone, hunt them down immediately and leave no one alive!" Otsuka Yoshio immediately ordered.
He wanted to annihilate all Yeon Gaesumun's army here, and then take down Jangseong and Silla by himself.
Yoshio Otsuka would never let go of such a huge achievement.
What's more, at this moment, the Tang Dynasty's border troops had no ability to make enemies of their Japanese country.
After taking care of Yeon Gaesomun, wouldn't it be easy to take down Rangcheng, which was defended by only tens of thousands of people, with the help of hundreds of thousands of troops?
Thinking of this, Otsuka Yoshio's heart began to feel inexplicably excited.
"Hai!" After receiving the order, the Japanese general immediately stepped forward to command the Japanese army and charged towards the rear of Yeon Gaesumun's army.
Yeongaesomun's army rushed towards the Baekje military formation, although at first it killed the Baekje soldiers by surprise.
But soon they also reflected.
This is not a misunderstanding at all, but Yeon Gaesowun is going to kill them all here.
Although they didn't know what happened, the Baekje soldiers who reacted began to fight back.
Even though they were no match for the Goguryeo soldiers, they were not powerless to fight back.
In an instant, Yeon Gaesumun's army fell into a melee.
Soldiers from both sides continued to fall into the river and were washed away by the water.
More people fell under the swords of both sides.
"Commander, the Japanese are attacking us!" The general next to him knocked over a Baekje soldier who was blocking the front and rushed to Yeon Gaesumun.
Yeon Gaesumun pierced the Baekje soldiers who were attacking him with his sword. He looked back and saw smoke billowing in the distance and the sound of weapons clashing.
Our own flag was also chopped to the ground.
"Don't worry about it, just charge forward." Yeon Gaesumun knew that he could no longer care about the Japanese army behind him at this moment.
Now they can only rush forward with their heads covered.
If they are surrounded by the Japanese army and the Baekje army, they will all die here.
Although he knew that abandoning the soldiers in the rear was a very inappropriate thing, Yeon Gaesumun had no other option at this moment.
The only solution for now is to carve out a bloody path in front of us.
"Kill!" At this moment, Yeon Gaesumun was also furious. He raised his sword and charged towards the Baekje soldiers in front.
The two sides fought, and every moment, even between every breath, several people, even dozens of people died tragically under the sword.
Flesh and blood were flying, and corpses were scattered everywhere.
The blood flowed like a torrent, and it was too horrible to watch.
Qin Huaiyu and others on the other side of the river were stunned.
They should have thought that today would be an extremely difficult battle, and each of them was even prepared to die here.
But the scene before them was like a drama, and they were completely unexpected.
The local coalition forces that were supposed to be at war with them actually started killing each other.
And the fight was unceremonious, just like they had been sworn enemies for many years.
No mercy or holding hands.
Qin Huaiyu's nervous hands slowly relaxed, he got off the horse and walked to the river bank.
The river, which was not considered fast, was now dyed red with blood that could be seen with the naked eye. Soldiers kept falling into the river on the other side of the river, being carried by the river and running downstream.
Bodies were piled on the ground and on the slope across the river. At a glance, it was hard to tell who was killed by whom.
"boom!"
A loud noise suddenly came, and a raging fire suddenly broke out on the other side of the river in the distance.
Countless amounts of soil fell into the air, mixed with countless broken limbs.
"That is……"
"The sky-blasting cannon!"
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty border army behind them all looked frightened.
They didn't expect that the Japanese country would use the sky-blasting cannon against Yeon Gaesumun's people.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Several more violent explosions were heard.
The originally bustling crowd was emptied out in an instant.
Looking around, there was no one who could still stand where he was.
The corpse lying on the ground could no longer distinguish its true identity.
Qin Huaiyu's heart tugged suddenly.
I thought about what the consequences would be if the Japanese cannon was used not on Yeon Gaesumun, but on myself and other soldiers of the Tang Dynasty's border army.
Thinking of this, Qin Huaiyu's back felt cold.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Zhao Chen's words telling him not to worry.
He couldn't help but wonder how confident Zhao Chen was that he could conclude that Japan, Goguryeo, and Baekje would not attack Yangcheng.
Obviously at this time, they should attack Rangcheng and eliminate their Datang border troops.
Moreover, the Japanese country also had terrifying weapons such as the sky-blasting cannon.
But why...
Qin Huaiyu thought for a long time, but in the end he couldn't come up with any clues.
In the end, he could only shake his head and suppress his curiosity for the time being.
"General, what should we do now?" The general of the Tang Dynasty's frontier army looked at Qin Huaiyu.
