When the sun rose again over the east of Wild Bear Ridge, Wang Hanxin counted the casualties. In just one day and two nights, he lost nearly 2,000 horsemen, and a third of the remaining men were wounded, the heaviest casualties since the cavalry raided Goryeo, and in just over a day, you can see how terrible the battle was.

Although the casualties inflicted by Wang Hanxin's men on the Goryeo cavalry were nearly double their own, they had only 2,000 men left and had to face 8,000 enemy troops, and the ratio of numbers had changed from 3 to 1 to 4 to 1, and it was only a matter of time before the entire army was wiped out if they continued like this.

Wang Hanxin made up his mind to break through. On the one hand, the reinforcements from Gaodingbian have not arrived for a long time, and Wang Hanxin estimates that he has also fallen into the quagmire of the Goryeo army's blockade and cannot extricate himself; On the other hand, the arrows of Wang Hanxin's subordinates have been shot out, and once the sky is bright, they will become a live target for the Goryeo army.

Wang Hanxin also had a resource at hand, that is, thousands of pack horses, which he originally wanted to keep as much as possible, but now it seems that he can only give up them completely. He used the horses as a front to break up the formation of the Goryeo cavalry and then began to break through.

It's a pity that his plan was frustrated from the beginning, and Li Meng had already taken precautions against this, so as soon as the Goryeo army found out about the horse formation of the Silk Country, they immediately pushed out the pile of firewood and grass that had been prepared to stop, and then lit a fire, and the horses that were frightened by the flames immediately lost their formation, and did not cause any damage to the Goryeo cavalry formation at all. To make matters worse, the 100 death squads arranged by Wang Hanxin were originally hiding under the belly of the horses and preparing to break through the enemy line and create chaos from the rear, but at this time they dispersed into a lone army that completely lost contact and were slaughtered by the Goryeo cavalry one by one.

Wang Hanxin saw that the plan had failed. He had to lead the rest of the troops to break through from the other direction, and the Goryeo army surrounded him with all his might. No matter how strong Wang Hanxin's assault was, Li Meng was in command in the rear. Constantly using the cavalry's mobility to set up resistance in front of Wang Hanxin, while inflicting bleeding in his rear from the flank.

If this continues, then Wang Hanxin's army will have no way to wipe out the whole army, but at this time, Gao Dingbian's reinforcements finally arrived at the battlefield and attacked behind Li Meng's ass.

Li Meng, who was flanked, did not panic, because he was prepared that his father would not succeed in stopping the enemy rescue. He immediately divided 2,000 cavalry to deal with Gaodingbian's troops, and he continued to command the encirclement and suppression of Wang Han's new army.

But in this way, Wang Hanxin immediately felt a lot more relaxed, after all, it was not difficult to break through with his martial bravery. Especially when the Goryeo army, which was blocking in front of him, suddenly decreased. Wang Hanxin's spear had long been stained with human blood and could no longer be used, so he threw away the spear and used the double knife that he was more comfortable with. The flying twin knives are like scythes for harvesting crops, except that what he reaps is a living human life. Although the Goryeo cavalry had undergone a long period of training, they were still hit by swords and fallen from their horses in front of this young general, and no one could survive three moves in front of him.

If Wang Hanxin was not charging in person at this time, but was commanding, then he could link up with Gao Dingbian to disperse Li Meng's cavalry, but unfortunately he was trapped in the enemy formation at this time, and he obviously felt that reinforcements might have arrived. Unable to discern their direction, his actions seemed somewhat untargeted, and he missed a good chance to win.

On the other hand, on Gao Dingbian's side, although he has no intention of entanglement with the Goryeo army. I just wanted to join forces with Wang Hanxin as soon as possible, but the Goryeo army stuck to him like kraft candy, so he had to break through again and again to get rid of the Goryeo army and be stuck again.

Only Li Meng can still control the entire battle situation at this time. Efforts were made to coordinate the battle of the Goryeo army against the cavalry of the Silk Country at the same time.

However, Li Meng also faced a headache, and in terms of the strength of the two cavalry teams of Gao Dingbian and Wang Hanxin, they were slightly better than him. And they are determined to break through and join forces, so they will never fall in love with the war. Their own cavalry had to use their maximum mobility to prevent them from doing so, and as their own formation thinned, such things began to become difficult, and sooner or later they would tear apart the defenses and merge together, and it would be difficult to destroy the enemy army. What can be done to change this? Li Meng knew that the strength at hand was probably too thin, and at this time he only hoped that his father's troops could come back as soon as possible.

When the battle reached the third pole of the day, Li Meng received news that was completely unexpected - his father Li Cheng would be killed in battle, and his troops would be defeated!

Li Meng almost fell off his horse at that time, he couldn't believe that his father would die on such an unknown wild bear ridge! In his impression, his father was an invincible god-like existence, how could he die?

Li Meng's mind fell into confusion for a while, but this confusion triggered important changes. There was a loophole in the Goryeo cavalry that had lost Li Meng's command and coordination, and Gao Dingbian and Wang Hanxin discovered this almost at the same time, and they attacked this loophole as if they had been discussed in advance! By the time Li Meng came to his senses, it was too late, and the Goryeo army was no longer able to stop the two cavalry divisions.

"Big brother, why did you come so late, I almost became a dead man!"

Gao Dingbian was angry and laughed: "If you are so ashamed to speak so loudly about your life-saving benefactor, beware of being damned." ”

Wang Hanxin reined in his horse's head and said: "I have never fought such a humiliating battle, now it's time to get it back, big brother, let's kill all these Goryeo dogs in front of us!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, we have nearly half of the casualties, and the enemy's combat strength is still absolutely superior! Withdraw when it's time to withdraw! ”

Wang Hanxin smiled and said, "Brother listens to the eldest brother, but it is not necessarily from which direction to withdraw." Brethren, follow me! Kill everyone who is in front of me! Let's do it! ”

"Roar!" The men roared in response. Wang Hanxin brandished his twin swords and galloped towards the Goryeo army, and his subordinates followed.

"This kid is always inciting." Gao Ding looked at his brother and smiled bitterly, and then raised his gun and shouted at his subordinates in the Tiger Guard Battalion: "Listen to the Tiger Guard Battalion! Can you let this kid Wang Hanxin snatch your head? Kill! ”

The cavalry of the Tiger Guard Battalion let out a burst of laughter, and then rushed towards the Goryeo army with their commander.

In the face of the cavalry of the Silk Country, whose morale was greatly increased, Li Meng realized that he could no longer achieve the goal of annihilating the enemy, and more importantly, his father's death made him unable to calm down, and he understood that if he continued to fight at this time, he was afraid that he would make a command mistake. Therefore, after Li Meng tried his best to resist for a while, the cavalry of the Silk Country still broke through smoothly, and Li Meng did not pursue it.

In the first battle of Yexiongling, the country of silk participated in the battle of 7,000 horsemen, more than 3,500 were killed in the battle, and the loss of horses reached more than 9,000, and finally had to break through and flee, which can be said to be the biggest defeat since entering Goryeo. The Goryeo army participated in the battle with more than 13,000 cavalry, more than 4,000 killed in the battle, and the main general Li Chenghui was killed. (To be continued......)
