In fact, it is a general term, before Dali was destroyed by the Yuan people, they also existed for a long time, from the pre-Tang Dynasty has repeatedly caused the court headaches of the Nanzhao, to the later Changhe, Tianxing, Yining and other small countries, relying on the natural environment of miasma, so that it is difficult for the Central Plains army to fight here, in view of this, the later Song dynasty simply listed it as a place not to be conquered. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The ethnic groups here are very complex, Ailao, Wuman, Baiman, Yu and even Han people live everywhere, and after ushering in the rule of the Yuan people, they began to divide them according to the system of the Central Plains, no longer bounded by tribal villages, and a new province was initially built.

During the entire period of the founding of Dali, they were basically at peace with the Song people, but this does not mean that they are not warlike, let alone that their combat power is much worse than the previous Nanzhao. In fact, in the battle 17 years ago, the main force of the southwest crusade army composed of more than 30,000 people once beat the Song people to close the city, which is the reason that a group of sheep under the leadership of the tiger wolf should not be underestimated.

Duan Zhiming does not consider himself a pig and sheep, he is the last king of Dali, and was later named the nephew of Duan Xingzhi, the hereditary governor of Dali, by the Mongolian Khan Meng Ge, and the seventh son of Duan Shi, the current governor of Dali.

In this expedition to the Song Dynasty, Duan Shi was left in Yunnan, together with Nasu Thorn Ding, the eldest son of Pingzhang Saichidian, who was the marshal of the capital at the time, responsible for the local garrison, and of course, the most important thing is the supply of grain and grass for the army, after all, it was as many as 50,000 soldiers, and it took almost the same number of people to ensure that it was safe, which was already the limit from Dali to the territory of the Song people.

However, in the case of not being able to feed the enemy, everything can only be done in this way, Sai Chidian's army has been blocked here for more than twenty days, the supply of grain and grass is not sufficient, and the people of the mountain can send some from time to time, so it is not the most urgent thing they face.

Now the most important thing is that the army of the Song people has arrived in front of them, their large camp is spread all over the river valley, and the banner stands like a dense forest on a high mountain, which makes people look frightened.

Duan Zhiming thought the same way at first, and when he found that the other party hadn't even set up a camp, and everything was arranged like child's play, this kind of panic turned into contempt, so when his subordinates reported that the Song people had come out of the camp and lined up, the first thing he thought of was that his opportunity had come, you must know that if the Song people couldn't hold out, he really didn't want to take the initiative to attack.

"What's that?"

The high platform standing in front of the formation is very conspicuous, and it is easy to see a person standing above, although it is not clear how it looks, but it can be seen that people are moving, so it will not be a sacrifice.

"It seems to be an official of the Song people." Those with better eyes can at least see that the one standing above is not a general, Duan Zhiming disdainful in his heart, even if he makes a leading posture, what can he do, when the army is defeated, he doesn't know if he will have time to climb down.

"The whole army is out of camp."

Since the other party wants to find death, of course he won't mind pushing it, like the Song people, they didn't set up camp, and the lack of time is one thing, and the contempt for the Song people is a more important reason, because in his heart, the Song people don't dare to take the initiative to attack, and will only hide behind the city wall and release arrows.

However, what he didn't expect was that the Song people not only came out, but also launched an attack directly when the opponent was not fully prepared, and when the rumbling war drums sounded on the opposite side, Duan Zhiming realized that his people had not yet launched a formation.

Defensive or counter-offensive? At this moment, he could no longer have a contemptuous thought, and cold sweat poured down and soaked his clothes.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!" Seeing the Song army column advancing step by step with neat steps, he hurriedly shouted loudly behind him.

The inside of his camp was even more chaotic, and the planners with bows and arrows were gathered together, and in order to get enough shooting range, they had to occupy the open space in front of the camp gate, so that the intersection out of the camp was compressed, and the infantry of the brigade had to change from multiple columns to single columns, which further extended the time of the formation, and the Song people were gradually pressing.

The camps of the two armies were not more than a thousand steps apart, the Song people from the formation to the attack, occupied the advantage of more than 100 steps, and when the enemy's arrow rain fell, the front of the Chinese army was less than 200 steps away from the first to go out of the camp, hearing the sound from the air, the experienced old pawn immediately accelerated the pace, in order to stick to the other party as soon as possible, so that the enemy archers lost their target.

"Kill him!" Lou Dingyuan roared, and crashed into the planner's formation, he was wearing an ordinary soldier's armor, holding a big axe in his hand, when he picked it up, it was as powerful as a hammer, and in the screams of the planners, his formation was dented.

"Kill!" The footmen who followed him rushed forward with their spears in their hands, and the planners held a kind of small round shield in their hands, but in the vigorous sprint, it was difficult to stop the spear's sting, and they were often pierced with their shields, and then they were pushed backwards and rushed towards those behind, until the moment when the master of the spear was exhausted.

There were about 3,000 people in the front of the Chinese army, and there were far more people in contact with them, but they had not yet changed from the state of marching, and they were suddenly pasted up like this, and they would inevitably be caught off guard, and by the time the generals and colonels in the rear wanted to restore order, the two armies had already been tightly attached to each other and entered into a fierce hand-to-hand combat.

This kind of fight is actually no fancy at all, what is fought is the willpower of both sides, after being forced to retreat, the planner finally reached a point where there is no way to retreat, and gradually reacted and slowly curbed the momentum of the Song people, from the perspective of Liu Yu standing on the high platform, it is a curved red and black parallel line.

Just when he thought that the war was in a stalemate, he suddenly found that a group of people had withdrawn from the front, led by the big man who was the Chinese army pointing to Lou Dingyuan, in the camera, his body was covered with blood, and he couldn't see whether he was injured or not, just when Liu Yu guessed his actions, this person landed on the ground with an axe at the end of the battle, and shouted to the back, and several phalanxes in the military column began to step forward, and walked behind him after a while.

At this time, Liu Yu roughly guessed his intentions, but the problem was that the rest of the foot soldiers in the front were still entangled with the enemy, and if they wanted to replace them, Liu Yu himself couldn't think of any good way. At this moment, Lou Dingyuan shouted again behind him, and the drummer at the back of the military formation stopped suddenly, and used the sledgehammer in his hand to knock on the gold on the side, making a sound similar to ringing a bell, and the front part of the fight stopped fighting, turned around and ran back, when the two arrays were staggered, they paused slightly, and they ran to Liu Yu's feet, at this time, the drum sounded again.

"Sons, follow a certain rush!" Lou Dingyuan, who had rested for a while, strode forward with a wild shout, and the three thousand soldiers who followed him put down the spears in their hands and met the enemy foot soldiers who were about to chase them out.

It's really a simple and rough way of fighting, Liu Yu couldn't help but shake his head, the foot soldiers who came back from the front have re-arrayed, their number has obviously decreased a lot, if they don't withdraw in time, when the casualties are too large, they will also collapse, this Lou barbarian really lives up to his nickname.

In Liu Yu's eyes, this battle has become boring, the morale of the planers has been in danger under the constant blows, and their numerical advantage cannot be brought into play for a while, the Song people may not be much braver, nor much stronger than them, but it is such a simple rotation method, maintaining a consistent physical and psychological advantage, and when the third rotation comes, the infantry brigade of the planers finally collapsed and began to retreat back like a tide.

"Jiang Zhaofu, go and replace them."

After Liu Yu stepped off the high platform, he waved his hand at Jiang Cai, all the foot soldiers of the Chinese army have already experienced the war and got an ideal victory, although their results are not big, they are just defeated, then next, the pursuit should belong to the cavalry army, these routs will be their most ideal driving objects, more useful than the new force of the Song people, because they still have 10,000 foot soldiers behind them.

"Brothers, get to work."

Such a good thing, Jiang Cai couldn't wait, watching these cavalry soldiers with eyes above the top come out of the formation, even Ma Ji was a little envious, but they also understood that only the cavalry could maximize the results, otherwise the fallen brothers of the Chinese army would die in vain.

The two 10,000-strong teams were not far apart, as early as when Duan Zhiming's troops met the enemy, the team behind them was ready to attack, no matter what the battle in front of, they were confident that they would clean up the situation, the reason was that there were nearly 2,000 Mongolian cavalry with them.

However, when the large group of routs appeared in sight, Ulan Hudu's face changed suddenly, and what made him feel frightened was not that these routs were about to attack the main formation, but that they were driving them behind, it was actually a well-equipped and well-trained Great Song cavalry army, and the number of them made him even more desperate, and then he understood why the thousand-man team would be wiped out in the battle of Dushitan.

If there were no existence of these routs, entangled them with as many as 10,000 men's foot soldiers, and then brought the Mongolian cavalry to attack from the side, it might not be impossible to inflict heavy losses on the enemy, but now, seeing those routs rushing into his formation, the originally tight array began to scatter, he couldn't help but close his eyes, and the collapse of the entire formation was already an irreversible fact.

"Let's go."

Wulan Hudu chose to retreat again without any hesitation, not that he didn't want to help the foot soldiers stop it, the terrain of this place was too narrow, once the Song people turned their attention to their cavalry, even retreat became a luxury, and they could only fight with hand-to-hand combat that the Mongols were not good at, and glanced at the demonic Song knight in the distance, he couldn't think of this at all.

Jiang Cai's pursuit stopped near the Tartar camp, in the face of the heavily guarded enemy camp, it is unwise to use cavalry to attack, those routs fled everywhere, and they have lost their value as a target, Rao is so, the cavalry brigade of up to 3,000 people still makes the Tartar camp nervous, and countless crossbowmen are staring at their every move, as if they are afraid that they will rush in.

The Song people had never been so arrogant in front of the enemy's camp, Jiang Cai let his subordinates cheer at the enemy army, but he stared at the city towering over the river valley plain in front of him without saying a word, and without the help of a clairvoyant, he could clearly see that an eye-catching flag had been raised on the top of the city, and the flag was not red.
