Takayama has a natural defensive advantage, it is located at the top of the mountain, all the higher peaks around it are quite far away, no weapon can pose a threat to it, as a commanding height can overlook everything around, and it also has a natural advantage, that is, there is a spring here.

As the biggest hidden danger of the mountain fortress is the water source, if the water source is cut off then it will be self-defeating, but there is such a clear spring in the underground of the high mountain set, the Korean people have settled here since the discovery of this spring, relying on this clear spring to nourish hundreds of families around. Today, more than 1,900 Goryeo troops led by Myeong-yi are stationed here, and they rely on this natural fortress to defend it. After the Mingyi adjustment, the defense capability here has been greatly strengthened, and if it is attacked, I am afraid that it will have to pay heavy casualties to capture, and this is exactly what the Silk Country must try to avoid.

For this reason, Gao Dingbian and Wang Hanxin made a plan, and did not attack Gaoshanji for ten consecutive days, but only sent soldiers to cut down the surrounding trees every day.

Anyone could see that the Silk Country was preparing to attack with fire, but the Goryeo Army was not worried at all. This is also a matter of course, because Mingyi has long ordered that the trees around the Takayama set be cut down for a hundred paces to strengthen the defense. This can not only strengthen the defense ability of Takayama Ji, but also block the possibility of the other party using fire attack, the flames are impossible to cross such a distance to burn to Takayama Ji in any case, if you force an attack with rockets or the like, Mingyi has already taken precautions, so the Goryeo army has no pressure on this behavior of the Silk Country except for laughing loudly.

Only Mingyi was puzzled. This is clearly an ineffective attack, and it is impossible for the enemy not to know about it, so why would they do it? Although he had been swaying before because of the strange behavior of the Silk Country. So much so that he lost every good opportunity to break through the enemy army, so that he fell into passivity. But this is precisely because Mingyi is a capable general, if he is a fledgling or reckless general. Then Wang Hanxin probably won't do this at all. Now Mingyi was once again confused by the other party's strange behavior, he understood that the other party was not easy to match, and there must be fraud behind this, but he didn't think of the other party's true purpose.

Half a month later, the Silk Kingdom stopped cutting down trees and began to beat golden drums at night, not giving the Goryeo defenders a chance to rest. The reverberations of the surrounding valley were like a megaphone, as if a fierce battle had unfolded between heaven and earth. After tossing like this for four or five days, even Mingyi himself began to feel tired. Not to mention those Goryeo soldiers, who could take a nap while standing. Mingyi became more and more puzzled, his troops couldn't sleep with such a big movement, but the soldiers of the Silk Country also had trouble sleeping, they didn't do it at all, what was the purpose?

At this time, a veteran who had lived in Takayama came to report to him that something had awakened Mingyi. It turned out that the Silk Country had not cut down trees without a goal before, they had cut down a second circle two hundred steps away from the high mountain set, and its width was nearly a hundred steps!

Mingyi suddenly figured out the clue. The enemy wants to set fire to the mountain! It is true that the flames of this will not spread to the Takayama set, but the Takayama set is located at the highest point, so the smoke will come to his side!

It's a pity that he figured it out a little late, and at this time Wang Hanxin had already ordered the mountain to be set on fire. It is a coincidence that Wang Hanxin chose to set the fire at this time. Coincidentally, a strong west wind was blowing at this time, and Wang Hanxin saw the opportunity and immediately set fire to the west.

Worse than Akiyoshi had predicted, the Silk Country had already placed those felled trees in the woods. It was sprinkled with a large amount of tung oil and mixed with a medicinal powder brought from the land of silk. After the rapid combustion of the flames, it produces a coughing gas, which is wrapped in thick smoke and swept down the wind towards the high mountains. The unsuspecting Goryeo soldiers choked on the smoke and coughed. Tears flowed down his face, and he suddenly fell into chaos.

Mingyi knew that although it was difficult at this time, he would never be attacked by the enemy, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to cover their mouths and noses with cloth soaked in water to reduce the damage to their throats. It's a pity that it's too late to say anything, and there is no other way but to resist the smoke of the past.

The fire burned for a whole day, and the flames of the wind swept through the mountains and burned to the eastern woods of the mountains, and then this wave of smoke offensive was over, but on this day, forty percent of the soldiers under Mingyi lost their combat effectiveness, and many of them were choked to death by the smoke. The mountains of flames pale in the nightfall, but as the flames spread to the east, the Silk Country's attacks followed.

Mingyi couldn't believe that this could be true, because the trees that had just been burned by the fire were still bubbling with flames, and the ground was full of scattered branches and flames that had not yet been extinguished, and the army of the Silk Country was attacking at this time!

It wasn't until Mingyi rushed to the city to see what was going on, it turned out that the soldiers of the Silk Country were all stepping on stilts!

Another project of Wang Hanxin's tree felling was to make stilts, so that he could raid Gaoshan Town as soon as the fire was over. At this time, Mingyi's soldiers were choked by the smoke and hid in the lowest place in the city, and did not stand in the combat position at all, most of the defense facilities carefully prepared by Mingyi did not have time to play its due role, and were occupied by the soldiers of the country of silk, plus nearly half of the soldiers of Goryeo lost their combat ability, and the rest were also in tears, and the combat ability was greatly weakened, so Gaoshanji soon broke through to the city gate, and the soldiers of the country of silk finally broke through to the city gate, and resisted the counterattack of the Goryeo army and opened the city gate.

Gao Dingbian, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately led the cavalry to rush in, and the battle advanced to this point, even if Mingyi had great ability, he was no longer able to return to the sky. Moreover, he and the Goryeo soldiers had no way to escape, because the west side of the high mountain market was full of soldiers of the Silk Country, and the east side was a sea of fire. At this time, Ming Yi really realized how vicious the opponent's previous methods were, and he couldn't help but sigh, turned over and turned on his horse to lead the remnants out of Gaoshan Ji.

Now there is only one way for Mingyi to go, and that is to fight a bloody way from the front to escape. The Goryeo soldiers also seemed to understand the main general's intentions, and one by one they put on the momentum of a decisive battle, and rushed towards the soldiers of the Silk Country who rushed up with a roar.

"Bald donkey Mingyi is gone! The haute couture side is here! ”

A group of people were killed in front of him, led by a young general, covered in black robes and black armor, like a messenger from hell against the backdrop of the firelight. The prestige of Gao Dingbian has long been well-known in the Goryeo army, and Mingyi knows that if he can't defeat this person, he can only die here, so he doesn't answer at the moment, and dances the cooked copper stick to take Gao Dingbian directly.

After a short encounter, both sides were taken aback. Gao Dingbian was surprised by the strength of his opponent, and he was shocked to his tiger mouth, and when he looked at it again, his hands were cracked; Mingyi was amazed at the mastery of the opponent's marksmanship, if it weren't for his full force to make the opponent's head slightly off when he shot, it was really hard to say whether he could dodge his subsequent two shots.

Both of them knew that they had met a fierce opponent, and they each fought in one place. (To be continued.) )
