In just three days, the rebellions in Pingyuan, Huajin, Nanyang and Shunchuan were all crushed by Wang Hanxin. Wang Hanxin set a record of destroying four enemy forces several times or even dozens of times his own with 1,000 cavalry, and the most commendable thing is that Shunchuan is a county town located in the east of Suzhou, and the long-distance assault of the Tiger Guard Battalion is successful, which makes people feel that this army is elusive and unpredictable. Of course, the casualties of the peasant army caused by these four battles were also shocking, and the peasant army in each place caused more than 60% of the death rate, among which the 7,000 peasant army that attacked Nanyang was almost completely killed, and only a few dozen people survived.

The news soon spread all over the neighborhood, and Wang Hanxin became an out-and-out murderous demon king, and the peasant army gritted their teeth and longed to eat his flesh raw, while at the same time they were terrified that it would be their turn to be next. However, Wang Hanxin did not pay attention to the mood of these people, and continued to sweep away the peasant army all the way, as long as his banner was displayed everywhere he went, the peasant army began to break and flee one after another.

As Wang's successes grew, so did his notoriety, with both the Goryeo army and the Silk Kingdom army seeing him as a demon who killed civilians indiscriminately, and legend has it that he forced peasants who had laid down their arms to take up arms again and then slaughtered them. Of course, this is just a statement that everyone adds fuel to the fire, in fact, Wang Hanxin's troops have been running continuously for more than ten days, and they are exhausted, how can they have time to do such a painstaking and laborious thing? But the people who defend him themselves ignore the fact that even they believe it. As long as there is enough time, Wang Hanxin may really be able to do this kind of thing.

of all those who received these messages. The saddest person is probably Gao Dingbian. He was both angry and annoyed, and he shouldn't have sent Wang Hanxin to attack. is different from ordinary people's disdain for Wang Hanxin's outrageous behavior. Gao Dingbian regretted and was annoyed because of his own order, Wang Hanxin's notoriety had been confirmed, and I was afraid that he would not be able to wash it away in this life, which would affect his future career, and it was his own order that caused this consequence.

In fact, Gao Dingbian didn't have to be easy for Wang Hanxin at all these times, and Cheng Yun's continuous attacks made him useless. It was indeed very difficult to deal with Cheng Yun's 50,000 army with less than 7,000 men, especially after Wang Hanxin captured Suzhou City at the beginning of the year and set fire to the grain, so that Suzhou City hardly had a complete house, and the city walls were also seriously damaged. After that, Lu Xuan never repaired it at all, so that Gao Dingbian could not rely on the walls of Suzhou City to defend, and all he could do was to fight repeatedly with the Goryeo army, which was several times his size, to delay time.

It took more than a dozen days for the battle to turn the tide. Wang Hanxin pacified most of the peasant armies in the north to ensure the advance of the follow-up troops, and as the follow-up troops continued to arrive, the pressure on the Gaoding side became smaller and smaller day by day. By this time, the pressure had gradually shifted from the side of the Silk Country to the side of the Goryeo Army.

Chengyun is not incompetent. Although his attack failed to destroy Gao Dingbian's troops and caused him more than half of his casualties, none of the peasant armies successfully completed the task and threatened the enemy's rear in these precious ten days, so that the original plan was completely unrealized. There is a major flaw in his and Lu Xuan's plans. That is, they ignored the ferocity of Wang Hanxin. Originally, so many places started at the same time, just for the sake of the country of silk to take care of one and lose the other. It was to be expected that a considerable part of the peasant army would be destroyed. But at the same time, there will be many locations where the operation will be successful, and the excitement of victory and the casualties of friendly troops will also stimulate the fighting spirit of the remaining peasant army. But what they didn't expect was that Wang Hanxin would be able to act so quickly. And the peasant army was slaughtered so much that the peasant army's fear of him overwhelmed the fighting spirit. Eventually, it becomes vulnerable.

As the reports of defeat came from all over the place, Cheng Yun noticed a strange thing. Since the peasant armies in various places have been defeated, then the follow-up troops of the Silk Country will be unimpeded to Suzhou City, according to his calculations, the total number should be no less than 30,000 people, but the battle situation in the past few days He only felt a little tight, which shows that Gao Dingbian deliberately concealed his strength, what did he want to do? It is clear that Gao Dingbian is accumulating strength to prepare for a counteroffensive!

Thinking of this, Cheng Yun broke out in a cold sweat, he carefully checked the various points on the map, and then he came to a conclusion - Gao Dingbian was secretly advancing against his two wings!

Cheng Yun was surprised and happy in his heart, surprised that Gao Dingbian's kid was really fat, and he had already begun to prepare for a counteroffensive when he had not yet had an advantage in the ratio of troops, and he was glad that he found out in time that if it was a few days later, when Gao Dingbian's troops gathered more, he would definitely launch a full-scale counteroffensive, and he might fall into his encirclement at that time.

The decision was made, Cheng Yun immediately ordered the camp to retreat south overnight, and at the same time repaired a letter to Lu Xuan in the rear, asking him to send troops to meet in time.

So when the army of the Silk Country woke up from their sleep in the early morning of the next day, and wondered that Cheng Yun had not launched an attack that night, Cheng Yun's camp had become an empty camp.

After learning the news of Cheng Yun's escape at night, Gao Dingbian slammed over the table in front of him. Cheng Yun really deserved to be a veteran of Liaodong, and he actually understood his plan and took the first step. Gao Dingbian immediately issued an order and commanded the whole army to launch a pursuit.

At this time, the strength of the Gaoding Border Division had reached more than 31,000, but the distribution of troops was relatively loose, and none of the units that were advancing backward towards the Chengyun side had reached the predetermined combat position, and it was not so easy to reassemble this loose force to form a combat force to deal with the Chengyun Division, which still had a numerical advantage. Gao Dingbian fully demonstrated his military talent here, commanding freely during the pursuit, and gradually gathering troops without losing the speed of the pursuit, and his ingenious technique was cited as one of the classic techniques by many soldiers in later generations. By the time Gao Dingbian caught up with the rear of Chengyun's army in Yubo in southern Suzhou, he had already gathered more than seventy percent of his troops and successfully launched an attack on Chengyun's rearguard troops.

The battle was close to white-hot from the beginning, Gao Dingbian personally led the charge to try to crush this rearguard force as quickly as possible, Cheng Yun also knew the stakes, he sent the most elite 4,000 elite soldiers in the army to take charge of the palace, and the two sides fought to the death in the east of Yubo. Relying on his personal courage and skillful command, Gao Dingbian used cavalry to successfully break through the defense of the Goryeo army, but the Goryeo army had long been prepared for this, and they sent reserve forces in time to successfully cut off the follow-up infantry units of Gaodingbian and separate the cavalry and infantry of Gaodingbian. Gao Dingbian, who had been cut off from the back route, did not care, continued to attack, and soon broke through the formation of the Goryeo army, and then regrouped and launched a second assault on the Goryeo army from the rear. The Goryeo Army also lived up to its elite reputation, showing amazing flexibility and coordination in the face of front and rear attacks. At the risk of being split into two pieces by the army of the Silk Country, they were forced to split into two and form two circular formations that linked up with each other to block the enemy army.

For the Goryeo army's hard work, Gao Dingbian immediately commanded the army to concentrate on attacking the circular formation on the left flank. The Goryeo army, which numbered less than 2,000 men, fought with all its might in the face of an onslaught of an enemy nearly ten times its size, but unfortunately due to the huge disparity in strength, it lost 70 percent of its troops after an hour, and the formation completely collapsed. However, the remaining circle still refused to retreat, they knew that they would die, but they still fought endlessly, and tried to rescue the friendly troops who were surrounded by heavy surrounding, and the Goryeo army surrounded this Goryeo army again, and the Goryeo army fought to the death, and by the time the two Goryeo armies were completely defeated, most of the day had passed.

Just as Gao Ding sighed that the other party's loyal and courageous struggle had deprived him of the perfect opportunity to pursue, the battlefield situation took a new turn. (To be continued......)
