Chapter 62 Three Evil Spirits Emerge

"Big brother, what's there to be afraid of! As long as it holds out for a few days, the follow-up troops will arrive, and the longer it takes, the more obvious the superiority of our army will be. You will meet Chengyun's old bastard in Suzhou City, let me deal with those rebellious people, those rabble can't use too many troops at all! Wang Hanxin, who got the information, said nonchalantly.

Gao Dingbian frowned and said, "That's exactly what I'm worried about. Our actions over the past three years have caused the people of Goryeo to rebel. If you were to be sent to suppress it, I know very well what measures you would take, and that would probably provoke them to resist even stronger, which would be detrimental to our army's future control of the occupied territories. ”

"Then what can we do, big brother? If you were to go, would you be able to suppress these people? I know you're not fit to do this, big brother. But now we have to make a decision, no matter how bad it may be, because if you don't make a decision, big brother, then our garrison will be surrounded and eaten by them. Are you going to watch our brethren surrounded and annihilated by the Koreans? Eldest brother! ”

Gao Dingbian's brow furrowed more and more. Wang Hanxin was right, if no action was taken, the meager forces scattered in the various occupied territories would be swallowed up by the anger of the armed people, who must be waiting for their deliverance at this moment, and he really could not abandon them. But as Wang Hanxin said, if Wang Hanxin is allowed to stay in Suzhou to deal with Chengyun, even he doesn't know whether he has the ruthlessness to suppress these people. And letting Wang Hanxin lead the troops to suppress it may turn into a disaster. After thinking about it, Gao Dingbian finally spoke: "Brother, if you can agree to make a request for your brother, you will be asked to lead the troops to attack." ”

"Big brother, let's talk about it. Mother-in-law mom is not your style. ”

"You can only go here to quell the rebellion and rescue friendly troops, and not to kill innocents indiscriminately, how about it?"

Wang Hanxin hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, as long as they put down their weapons." Or run away, and I won't do it. Okay, big brother? ”

"Good! Give you 2,000 cavalry for your brother, and immediately go to quell the rebellion! ”

"No, I only need a thousand cavalry of the Tiger Guard Battalion. That's just a bunch of untrained civilians, big brother, you better leave more troops to deal with Chengyun. Besides, if you give me too many troops, it means that the casualties of the civilians will increase greatly during the confrontation. Wang Hanxin said, blinking at Gao Dingbian.

Gao Ding smiled. "Okay. Then you have to be careful. ”

Wang Hanxin turned around and left: "Don't worry, big brother, before I cut off the head of the king of Goryeo, I will be fine!" ”

If Gao Dingbian could not predict the prophet, then even if he was killed, Wang Hanxin would not be appointed as the commander of the counterinsurgency. As a result, the demon was released from the cage in this way, which became one of the things that Gao Dingbian regretted the most in the future.

Not long after Wang Hanxin left, Cheng Yun's army reached Suzhou City, and Gao Dingbian, who was preparing for the battle, successfully stopped Cheng Yun's offensive. The two sides fought to the death under the city of Suzhou. Gao Dingbian's troops are at a disadvantage, but in terms of elite, they are superior. Coupled with his personal martial bravery, he came and went freely in Chengyun's array, and no one was able to defeat him. Fortunately, Chengyun's own purpose is to contain the main force of the Silk Country and create conditions for the formation of a siege, so when facing Gao Dingbian, he is not in a hurry to win, but focuses on making Gao Dingbian have no time for him to take care of. The situation in Suzhou has reached a stalemate.

Meanwhile. Wang Hanxin's 1,000 cavalry pounced on the nearest place to him, the plain.

According to Lu Xuan's plan, he opened the weapons depot and distributed them to the local people. Lu Xuan believes that these weapons are not the most sophisticated, since the weapons equipped with soldiers are sufficient, and it will be a waste of resources to carry these weapons and retreat. Why not distribute them to the people to organize resistance? Of course, the common people did not just have weapons to fight, after all, they did not have the necessary military training. Therefore, Lu Xuan assigned a centurion to each county, and ten commanders as commanders, and with unified command, the combat ability of these people will be greatly improved.

This peasant army on the plains numbered 20,000, and they gathered from all sides to besiege the garrison of the Silk Country on the plains. Due to the large number of civilians attacking even in the plain town, the garrison of the Silk Country could only retreat to the official palace and wait for rescue. Fortunately, these civilians lacked the necessary combat capabilities, the centurion was not in the plain town at that time, and the only commander was not in good command, which made the attack very difficult, and by the time the peasant army was gathered and the centurion officially began to command, Wang Hanxin's reinforcements were already approaching.

On the way to the plains, Wang Hanxin gave a death order, and all those who saw that they were facing us were enemies, and they would be killed.

This order did not sound in conflict with Gao Dingbian's instructions, but the problem was that after Wang Hanxin understood the position of the enemy's army, he scattered the 1,000 cavalry and launched a centripetal assault in a state of encirclement on all sides.

Attacked by the most elite cavalry of the Silk Country, the Tiger Guard Battalion, the Goryeo peasant army immediately began to disorganize. These men were not soldiers, their weapons were inferior, their bows and arrows were scarce, and they had almost no armor, so they could not resist the fierce assault of the Tiger Guard Battalion. The centurion in charge of the command observed the situation on the battlefield and found that the enemy army had launched a surprise attack from all sides, and what was even more terrifying was that the number of enemy troops could not be judged, because dust was raised in all directions, which was obviously a signal for the attack of the enemy's army. The centurion believed that the enemy would not be less than five thousand, which was far beyond the limits of the peasant army, so the centurion made the wrong decision to break out.

If it was a Goryeo army, then it was quite possible to leave the troops behind the palace to delay the enemy's attack and choose a weak point to highlight the encirclement. But even then, the infantry group would have suffered heavy casualties if it had to escape the pursuit of the cavalry, not to mention the fact that he was commanding a completely undisciplined peasant army? The order to break through was soon misunderstood by the peasants as an order to retreat in defeat, and the entire array immediately collapsed.

The Tiger Guard Battalion led by Wang Hanxin effectively carried out the orders of the commander-in-chief, brandishing the swords and guns in his hands and killing the peasants who had retreated towards him. The severed heads flew above people's heads with lines of blood, the ribs crushed by the horse's hooves, and the people who spewed blood and broken internal organs wailed, and the image of the uncompromising Shura Dao shocked all the living peasants. The people, realizing that they were in the fate of being slaughtered, became more and more frightened, and rushed madly in the direction of the cavalry. In order to escape from the clutches of the small space where they could escape, people began to push each other, and soon turned into trampling on each other, and the scale of the tragedy increased exponentially. When the four cavalry converged, the land was already stained red with blood. More than eight thousand bodies remained here, most of them from stampedes on each other.

However, this is not the end of the nightmare, Wang Hanxin issued an even more cruel order - volley! Wang Hanxin's order was simple and clear, it was not allowed to pursue in the rear, and it was necessary to go around to the front to assault from the front! Keep in mind that you have to face these fugitives and then kill all the enemies.

A terrible manhunt began. Two hours later, when the garrison of the plains was rescued, 16,000 Goryeo people were already corpses in the wilderness. (To be continued......)
