Xiuwu County.
...
The situation on the battlefield is becoming increasingly tense.
The rebels have been having a very hard time lately.
Gu Xi showed no mercy whatsoever. Since the battle of Huai County, he has fiercely attacked the rebels, forcing them to retreat step by step.
Within ten days, he had completely driven the rebels back into the dense forests and swamps between the southern foothills of Taihang Mountain and the Yellow River.
This place is indeed suitable for hiding troops.
The most crucial point is that there are evidently people among the rebels who understand the terrain here.
With the advantage of terrain, they managed to stabilize the situation.
Gu Xi was helpless about this.
The topography here is quite variable.
Although there are dense forests, being close to the great rivers, Dan River, the swamps are numerous as well.
He couldn't even use fire attacks.
