Chapter 80: The Shadow Army

With reinforcements in place, the country of silk launched an attack on the Gangwon region of Goryeo. Far from the result expected by Ming Yi, the attack of the Silk Country was not sharp at all, but dragged like a mass of rotten paper soaked in water.

According to Mingyi's estimate, the number of reinforcements sent by the Silk Country this time was not large, and at best he could only launch an offensive in Gangwon Province, where he was located, so he led his soldiers to prepare for the battle. He resolutely abandoned those relatively minor areas, and instead concentrated his limited forces on the important strongholds around Fushiri and Takayama Ji, which were not only easy to defend and difficult to attack by virtue of the terrain, but also could support each other, and even if the Silk Country could capture some of these strongholds, it would inevitably pay heavy casualties. This is exactly what he wants to see, because once the forces of the Silk Country are depleted to a certain extent, then they will lose the ability to attack Xiou City. And from the scale of this reinforcement, it can be seen that it is difficult for the country of silk to mobilize new reinforcements, so Goryeo has the capital to make peace with the country of silk.

However, the actual development was not as Ming Yi thought, the attack of the Silk Country was in full bloom in the entire Gangwon Province area, there was no so-called key existence at all, and due to the dispersion of troops, no breakthrough progress was made in any direction, but some of the locations he voluntarily abandoned fell into the hands of the Silk Country in vain.

This is really too abnormal, and the other party's actions are completely inconsistent with the way of using troops. Mingyi couldn't help but hesitate in the face of this situation: this was a trap deliberately set up by the other party anyway, and the other party was trying to lure him into attacking and breaking them all, but in fact, what they were waiting for was the moment when they left the stronghold. Take advantage of the situation and attack those important strongholds. If that's the case. Then standing still is the most headache for the other party.

The clear meaning of such a judgment strictly ordered that no attack should be made everywhere, and that the position should be held concentratingly. Watch and see what happens. At this time, the army of the Silk Country, which was full of weaknesses, made Mingyi feel that he couldn't start, and he withstood the high combat enthusiasm of the soldiers, while enduring the mental torture that he wanted to attack and had to hold on, waiting for the enemy army to reveal the real flaws.

At this time, the attack of the Silk Country changed. Their attack suddenly reverted to its usual state, and they began to storm Fushiri, led by Gao Dingbian and his famous Tiger Guard Battalion.

It finally began, and Mingyi was glad that he was able to calm down and endure until now, and the focus of the attack of the Silk Country was finally revealed. He immediately led a mobile unit to the aid of Fushiri.

However, on the day his troops arrived in Fushiri, Gao Dingbian suddenly retreated. Before Mingyi could figure out what was going on, the direction of Gaoshanji was attacked by the army of the Silk Country from Yuanshan, and the leader of the troops was the Tiger Guard Battalion led by the fierce general Wang Hanxin!

What's going on? Mingyi was a little confused for a while. Wang Hanxin is notorious, and it is not surprising that he leads the troops, the question is where did the two tiger guard battalions come from? There must be some deception in this.

The Silk State is trying to confuse the public with the fake Tiger Guard Camp and create panic among our army. Once he returns to the aid of Gaoshan Ji, then the Gaoding side lurking in the nearby mountains will definitely attack again.

Mingyi's decision was proved to be completely wrong the next day, because according to the battle report. The attack on Gao Shanji was so fierce that I really didn't think about it except for the strength of the Tiger Guard Battalion.

Broken! I fell for the other party's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. Gao Dingbian is indeed the commander of the Tiger Guard Battalion, but Wang Hanxin was also his deputy, and this time Gao Dingbian used his reputation as a cover. I deceived myself with the fake tiger guard camp all along!

Thinking about this, Mingyi asked Fushiri's defenders to defend it tightly, and he rushed to Takayama Ji.

When he arrived at Takayama Set, the scene that had been played out in Fukiri was played out again. Fushiri was attacked by the Tiger Guard Battalion. Hurry!

This time, Mingyi is really blinded. Which side is the real Tiger Guard Battalion?

Because of the brilliant achievements of the Tiger Guard Battalion, the combat ability of the soldiers in its establishment is well known to all. But because of this, the number of soldiers in the Tiger Guard battalion never exceeded two thousand. Therefore, of course, Mingyi does not think that its establishment will be doubled all at once. There must be one truth and one falsehood in these two tiger guard camps.

But he was wrong, both Tiger Guard battalions were real and fake.

Wang Hanxin brought the number of cavalry troops from Chang'an and the number of Tiger Guard Battalions, but its elite level was very far behind, so in order to confuse the enemy, he and Gao Dingbian divided the Tiger Guard Battalion into two, each led a team to attack from two sides, and planted the cavalry in Chang'an in the Tiger Guard Battalion, so that the Goryeo Army was ostensibly two integrated Tiger Guard Battalions. And in terms of combat ability, the cavalry troops brought by Wang Hanxin are certainly not as good as the Tiger Guard Battalion, but they also surpass the ordinary cavalry troops by a lot, and with the deliberate concealment during the combat command, it is not so easy to find out that the Tiger Guard Battalion is mixed with water.

Wang Hanxin deliberately put on his terrible offensive method to successfully confuse Mingyi, so that he did not dare to attack easily, and used the tactics of the shadow tiger guard battalion, like the way the two of them sawed and cut down trees, so that Mingyi was exhausted at two points, and successfully made Mingyi fall into the trap he set. While Mingyi was busy between Gaoshanji and Fuxiri, the mobile troops led by Zhou Siyi successfully captured several other strongholds.

At this time, Mingyi understood the other party's intentions, and he was completely tricked! He resolutely abandoned Fushiri and turned to the high mountains to gather and defend - since the matter was irreparable, then he should concentrate his forces to defend one point, complete his original strategic purpose as much as possible, and consume the enemy's strength.

Of course, another reason why Mingyi chose Takayama was that it was relatively close to Wonsan, which was located by the sea, and if the situation was unfavorable, he could also lead his troops to break through the naval blockade of the Silk Country and flee south.

As a result, Gangwon Province except for Takayama Gil, other areas fell into the hands of the Silk Country, and Kojeong-bian also successfully broke through the defenders of Fushiri and rushed to Koyama-gil to join Wang Hanxin.

The battle for Gangwon Province entered the second stage. (To be continued.) )
