Hua Meng's death is, to some extent, the result of the methods of the Silk Country being seen through by Goryeo. The most effective way for the Janokuni army, which had to halt its offensive due to lack of troops, to change this situation was to attack the northern part of Gangwon Province, which was still under the control of Goryeo and was strategically surrounded by the Janokuni country, but the soldiers refused to surrender and resolutely defended themselves. Defeat this recalcitrant enemy army, and then the Silk Country will be able to free up the troops that surround it and throw them on the front line. In order to complete this step, Hua Meng took the initiative to ask Ying to serve as the commander of the mission.

It is a pity that this step of the Silk Country has already been learned by the Korean side. It is not so much that the Goryeo intelligence system is effective, but that it is the best option that both sides agree. However, it was the monk Myeongyi who had just become the chief soldier of Gyeongsang Province who applied this inference.

Mingyi took the opportunity to explain his plan to Cui Jianjiang, and then successfully obtained an edict from Cui Jianjiang appointing him as the commander-in-chief of the entire army in Gangwon Province, and then he drove a flat boat to the north of Gangwon Province and successfully took over the command there.

Based on the local situation, Ming Yi analyzes the possible actions of the Silk Country: since the main forces of the Silk Country are all in the south, it is imperative to attack from there. However, there are two possible routes for attacking, the first is to take the Takayama set from Fushiri, from where the Goryeo army can defend everything in two, and then break through each one; The second is to attack Tongcheon from the coastal road of Jinhwa, and then take Wonsan Fortress all the way along the sea route, which has the advantage that the defense here is relatively weak, and once Tongcheon and Wonsan are captured. It completely cut off the retreat of the Goryeo army.

Myeongyi finally concluded that the route chosen by the Juanzhi Nation must be Takayamaji, because taking Tongchuan was obviously a foolproof move that could trap the Goryeo army alive. However, the current situation of the Silk Country cannot accept the test of a long-term war, and both Gai Yanxiao and Hua Meng belong to the type of fierce generals. The straight line attacks more in line with their personalities. Therefore, he resolutely drew all 1,500 archers and 800 infantry from his already very weak defensive force and drove to the high mountains. That's almost half of the number of troops on the ground.

On the other hand, the number of troops that can be mobilized here in the Silk Country is also very limited. Hua Meng worked hard to dispatch 3,000 soldiers to secretly go to Fuxili, and from there he traveled all the way to Gaoshanji.

In his plan, after the night attack on Takayama Ji, he immediately surrounded the Goryeo army on the southern side, and each time he captured an additional place, the pressure on the Silk Country would be less, and the balance of war would be tilted to his side.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night approaching the edge of the high mountain set, Hua Meng was rejoicing that his plan was about to succeed, when he suddenly heard the screams of the front team. It turned out that the Goryeo army had set up many traps around Takayama Ji, and the soldiers of the Silk Country who were unknown in the dark night stepped on them. Immediately, the drums in the high mountain set were vibrating. The shouts of the soldiers shook the earth.

When Hua Meng saw that the enemy army reacted so quickly, it was obviously heavily guarded. If it were any other general, he would probably have withdrawn from the army, and then by dawn he would have found that there were actually nearly a thousand defenders in Takayamaji, and he might even know that the entire southern defense line of Gangwon Province had become very weak, and the result of the matter might be completely opposite. It's a pity that Hua Meng is a brave and resolute general, and when he saw that the matter was revealed, his first reaction was to change the sneak attack to a strong attack, because he knew that the number of enemy troops in Gaoshanji was only more than 200.

When the soldiers who took the lead felt that the strength of the other party was unusual. A rocket suddenly flew out of the dark night, and that rocket swept across the dark night sky and shot impartially at the center of the army of the Silk Country!

As the arrow landed, a rain of arrows suddenly rained down all around. It turned out that Mingyi had placed 1,500 archers on both sides of the Takayama set. And he distributed two pots of arrows to each soldier, and his request to the soldiers was to shoot them in the direction indicated by the rocket, and to shoot all the sixty arrows in his hand as quickly as possible. Then immediately plunge into white-knuckle combat.

A full ninety thousand arrows rained down on the army of the Silk Country in less than a stick of incense, and the army of the Silk Country was completely blinded. In the darkness of the night, they didn't even know where they were, even though they raised their shields. But the arrows still kept flying from front to back, left and right, up and down. In this incense, more than 1,800 soldiers were both killed and wounded, and even Hua Meng himself was hit by four arrows, but fortunately he was wearing heavy armor, and these arrows without accurate heads failed to penetrate the protection of the armor.

It seems that the number of enemy troops should be about the same as his own troops, and Hua Meng can tell this from the density of the opponent's arrows. If you are completely calculated, and the enemy army relies entirely on bows and arrows, then you will definitely engage in white-knuckle combat after the rain of arrows stops. Therefore, in the dense rain of arrows, China Meng still managed to form his own formation and prepare for the coming fierce battle - in this situation, if he retreated, he would completely collapse, and only by holding out until dawn could he find a way to get rid of the enemy army.

The onslaught of the Goryeo army came as expected, but they met with fierce resistance. Hua Meng, who had already made up his mind to hold on, arranged the formation as densely as possible - the Goryeo army, which had no arrows, could no longer cause damage to the dense formation. So the archers who threw down their bows and arrows and turned into white-knuckle combat were bounced back as if they had hit a wall, and four consecutive attacks failed to work.

At this time, Mingyi led 800 infantry to launch a surprise attack towards the center of Huameng's formation. Mingyi's armor held a copper stick in front of him, and his nearly 100-pound stick set off a wind with its powerful potential energy, and all the soldiers who were swept in the wind broke their bones and tendons, and the heavy ones burst into their brains, and immediately chiseled a hole in the formation of the country of silk.

Hua Meng knew that he had encountered a strong enemy, and from the actions of the other party, he could judge that this was a monster with infinite strength, but Hua Meng had to step forward, and as a general, he could not let the soldiers sacrifice senselessly at this time. After a short fight, Hua Meng's hands were all shattered, and the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. Hua Meng, who has always been known for his fierce generals, is also a famous general in the Liaodong Army, but in front of Mingyi, he is as vulnerable as a weak teenager! Hua Meng knew that he was invincible, but he still refused to retreat, since it was impossible for him to win the opponent in front of him, then at least he had to die with the other party! Otherwise, his subordinates will be in danger of being wiped out.

Seeing Mingyi's stick slashing straight down towards him, Hua Meng only tilted his head slightly to avoid the fatal blow above his head, and at the same time, his big knife also slashed at Mingyi's body! This is the way to play with a fish to death and a broken net, and Hua Meng already has the consciousness of death. Mingyi's stick really hit Hua Meng's left shoulder, and this blow broke Hua Meng's collarbone and all the ribs on the left side, but Hua Meng's knife also slashed at Mingyi's body. Unfortunately, Mingyi's blow was too strong, and Hua Meng's left arm was also driven by the club, so his broadsword was tilted to the side, although the broadsword cut through Mingyi's armor, it only cut through his skin, and was not fatally injured.

Hua Meng's death announced the victory or defeat of the battle, and by dawn, the 3,000 troops of the Silk Country were all wiped out, and less than 200 people survived. This was the first fiasco suffered by the Silk Kingdom since the war with Goryeo again, and the governor of the Imperial Protectorate, Shi Huameng, sacrificed his life for the country. This battle changed the frontline situation between Goryeo and the country of Juan, and Myeong-yi became famous because of this battle, and became a national hero of Goryeo. (To be continued.) )
