Chapter 81 2 There is nowhere to stay

was said by He Jianyi, Cui Jianjiang realized that he had fallen for the other party's plan and killed Cheng Yun, a capable general, in vain. Filled with remorse, he shouted orders his guards to get rid of the enemy's spy.

Although He Jianyi's martial arts are not weak, he can't resist the dozen or so guards who rush up at once, and his original target is not Cui Jianjiang himself. After he successfully caused the panic of the Goryeo army, it can be said that he has overfulfilled this task, and he can take advantage of the chaos to break away from the Goryeo army and return to Pyongyang City, but he thinks more, he is ready to take advantage of the fact that his identity is not exposed to lead the Goryeo army as much as possible, so that his own army can be broken one by one, but the first army he encountered turned out to be King Cui Jianjiang, so he deliberately appeared and became angry with him. Now that the goal has been achieved, he is no longer obsessed with this, and retreats at the moment.

Cui Jianjiang was desperate to flee for his life at this time, and he refused to chase deeply, so he hurriedly took the guards all the way down to the south.

Choi Jianjiang's move made a major mistake, that is, no Goryeo army other than him knew the identity of He Jianyi. After He Jianyi retreated, he continued to spread rumors about the king's need for protection with the defeated Goryeo soldiers he encountered, leading these Goryeo troops in various wrong directions, which bought precious time for the pursuit of the Juannokuni army, and many Goryeo troops were surrounded and annihilated by the Juannokuni army in the unsuccessful search for the king's whereabouts.

In this near-rout retreat, the hardest people were Mingyi and his men. Originally, they were at the forefront of the attack, and it was very difficult to get rid of the entanglement of the enemy army, plus Wang Hanxin's kind of stalking like a leech. The tactics of knocking out the bones and sucking the marrow, Mingyi was able to get rid of the entanglement of the enemy army at dawn the next day. And at this time, only thirty percent of his subordinates remained.

The reason why Wang Hanxin gave up the pursuit of Mingyi was because he understood that compared to Mingyi at this time. The effective annihilation of the living forces of the Goryeo army was more valuable, so he commanded the post to launch a terrible pursuit of the rest of the exhausted Goryeo army. During the four-day pursuit, I don't know how many Goryeo soldiers were beheaded by Wang Hanxin's subordinates, and I don't know how many Goryeo soldiers fell in the wilderness because of hunger, fatigue, and injury, and they were interrupted by unwilling calls.

When the Goryeo army set out from Xioucheng, there were 40,000 people, and the number of people who could return to Xioucheng was less than 1,000, and the battle of Kaiping was over. That's why the Battle of Kaiping was able to leave a mark in history. Not because of any outstanding performance on both sides in this battle, but because of a horrific incident that took place in the final stage of the battle - the Kaesong prisoner of war incident.

When Wang Hanxin led his troops to pursue Kaesong, most of the soldiers who had been injured by the explosion in Kaesong were still in place - the wounded soldiers who could run had already been oiled on the soles of their feet, and the rest were seriously wounded who could not move, and they had no choice but to accept the fate of surrender. However, Wang Hanxin's order was to kill all these wounded soldiers who surrendered!

It was true that it was difficult to give the wounded the only troops and food they had in pursuit of the defeated Goryeo army, but Wang Hanxin's approach still aroused strong resentment from the soldiers, who were not the original Tiger Guard Battalion, and who certainly respected Wang Hanxin, who commanded them to hold back the Goryeo army in Pyongyang. But he couldn't help but report Wang Hanxin's actions to Yang Lian. This also laid the groundwork for the personnel changes that took place in the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate later.

Looking back at Cui Jianjiang, when he was the first to escape back to Xiou City with his guards, the situation was extremely miserable: only seven of his guards survived, and the rest lost their lives in the interception of Gaodingbian and the Tiger Guard Battalion. If it weren't for the timely discovery of Xioucheng and the sending of troops to help, then Cui Jianjiang would probably die in the chaos. And entering Xi'ou City is not a relieved thing, because at this time, Gai Yanxiao has already approached Xi'ou City with the main force of the Silk Country.

Cui Jianjiang didn't have time to stop and catch his breath. The unfortunate thing happened again - just two days later, the gates of the city of Xiou were opened. The Tiger Guard Battalion has entered the city!

The Goryeo army, which had been defeated after Choi Jianjiang, was also intercepted by Goding-bian, but not all of the troops who were lucky enough to escape back to Xi'ou Fortress were Goryeo. Gao Dingbian has already selected a group of soldiers who are proficient in the Goryeo language to disguise themselves as Goryeo soldiers and mixed in the defeated soldiers into the West Ou City, these people gathered after taking advantage of the night to open the city gate of West Ou City, Cui Jianjiang, who learned the news in his sleep, wanted to gather the soldiers to drive the enemy out of the city, but in the dark night could not judge the number of enemy troops, Gao Dingbian deliberately made a big noise to expand the panic of the Goryeo soldiers, and after entering the city, it was set on fire everywhere to create chaos, so when Cui Jianjiang finished the assembly, the city was already a mess, He had almost complete control over the army. In the end, Cui Jianjiang had to give up the idea of continuing to resist and fled from the city with his family.

Even if he escaped from the city, the danger was still there, because Gai Yanxiao's troops had approached Xi'ou City, and after learning that Xi'ou City had been taken, he spread a net to round up Cui Jianjiang, and Cui Jianjiang experienced six volleys in one day, two of which reached the level of short-range contact with the enemy.

The sight of Ming Yi protecting Choi and his family as they fled south shocked Choi Jianjiang: he could not see a complete city, the city was rarely populated except for the corpses of Goryeo soldiers, and the people had long since fled into the mountain wilderness, so that it became very difficult for him to get a meal.

When he crossed Chungcheong-do, he had to avoid Jeolla Province and go straight to Gyeongsang-do because Chung Mong-ryong and his navy were storming Jeolla Province. During several days of marching in the mountains, all the men were starved of food, and even as a king, he had to feed himself with wild vegetables. Fortunately, the number of Zhou Siyi's troops was not large, so the city of Gyeongsang-do was still preserved, and after entering Gyeongsang-do, Cui Jianjiang was finally able to take a breath, but there were less than two hundred of his subordinates who left Xi'ou City with him, and the situation was extremely miserable.

At this point in the war, the battle plan formulated by Wang Hanxin at the beginning basically completed the goal, and the entire territory of Goryeo except for Gyeongsang-do, which was still under the control of Goryeo, and Jeolla Province had not yet been completely taken, and the rest of the territory fell into the hands of the country of silk. Although the Silk Country did not have enough troops to garrison such a large area, the armed forces of Goryeo were wiped out. The volunteers organized by the Goryeo people were still fighting against the army of the country of silk in various places, but unfortunately it was difficult for them to find the army of the country of silk, and even if they found the location of the army of the country of silk, the scale of the army was not something that these volunteers who lacked weapons and equipment could deal with, and their actions did not achieve any substantial results except for destroying more farmland in Goryeo and depriving more Goryeo labor force for farming, but laid a solid foundation for the ****** in Goryeo in the future.

As the protector of Anton, Yang Lian's area of control suddenly doubled, but the number of troops was still the same, so he kept writing to the imperial court, in addition to reporting the victory, the more important one was to implore the emperor Liu Yan to mobilize more soldiers to come and defend the new territory to maintain law and order.

At the same time, Yang Lian also did one thing, that is, deprived Wang Hanxin of his military power and put him under house arrest. (To be continued.) )
