Chapter 80: Fierce Battle
Ask for support ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Duan Zhong rode on the horse, walked in front of the team, slowly along the extremely rugged path, the climate of the two Guangxi regions is naturally much hotter than the north, this Dali is located on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and in the basin, the end is the four seasons like spring, but these two areas compared with Dali Although at the same latitude, but it seems extremely humid, even if it is autumn, walking in this dense forest, this sweat is constantly flowing down, never heard of it, as a person who has lived two lives, Duan Zhong is from a liberal arts backgroundNaturally, these two regions have a subtropical monsoon climate. Although these are two completely different worlds, this earth is the same earth.
At this moment, Duan Zhong has led 15,000 Dali soldiers to patrol the hills and mountains of Liangguang for two days, and it is getting closer and closer to Guangzhou City, and at this moment, Duan Chong has calculated, I am afraid that the more than 20,000 troops and horses led by General Ying Haiying should have arrived outside Tingzhou City and have a tentative confrontation with the army of the second prince of Xiao Beiding, and soon, this Guangzhou City will get the news, this is a series of inevitable reactions, and whoever is the governor of Liangguang is the same thing, Originally, General Ying Haiying should have 50,000 troops and horses, but unfortunately the war in the north was urgent, and more than 20,000 people were directly transferred, otherwise this battle would have been better fought.
It's just that this General Ying Haiying is fighting how the war is going at the moment, Duan Chong is not clear, because in the Liangguang region, Duan Chong does not have a good information transmission channel, and can only hope that General Ying Haiying can make things develop in the direction he expects with his many years of experience in leading troops, Duan Chong is carrying out a long-distance attack this time, if he can't attack Guangzhou City, then he will lose all his efforts, and General Ying Haiying dares to trust Duan Chong, which also requires great courage, Therefore, Duan Zhong naturally has to be worthy of this trust.
Duan Zhong believed that as long as the army of Guangzhou City dared to send troops to aid the second prince of Xiao Beiding, then he would take this Guangzhou City from me. Although this Guangzhou City is located in the plain area, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Duan Chong always has some killer features in his hands, for Guangzhou City, Duan Chong is bound to win, but whether this battle is a partial victory or a comprehensive victory, it depends on the results of General Ying Haiying's side, and Duan Chong can only take care of his side at the moment.
In the two days of marching, many soldiers are also inevitably unaccustomed to the phenomenon of water and soil, which was originally expected by Duan Chong, but when such a thing really happened, except for letting the military doctors with the army carry out some simple treatment, there is really no way, can only hope that this war will end as soon as possible, and then the soldiers in the army will be treated!
And five days have passed, and in these five days, Duan Chong still has no news from General Ying Haiying, but he and his 15,000 soldiers have arrived outside the city of Guangzhou, hiding in a hidden dense forest, and have not leaked any traces, and in the past five days, Duan Chong has been getting news from the "poison dagger" arranged around Guangzhou City, but he found that Guangzhou City has no intention of sending troops in the past few days, which makes Duan Chong feel a little anxious. The road Duan Zhong chose was a rugged path, so even if he hurried overnight, it took eight days to rush to the outside of Guangzhou City, if the news was transmitted from Tingzhou City, it would only take five or six days to arrive by taking the official road quickly, according to common sense, this Guangzhou City should have received the news at this moment, why did there not have the slightest movement?
If his inference is really wrong, Diao Bin, the governor of Liangguang, can endure and not send troops, it is an extremely tricky problem, because if the governor of Liangguang does not send troops, then there are nearly 30,000 men and horses in this Guangzhou city, and Duan Chong only has 15,000 Dali soldiers under his hands. However, the supply of military salaries on General Ying Haiying's side is destined not to delay with the army of the second prince of Xiao Beiding to fight guerrillas, so even if the 30,000 troops and horses in Guangzhou City do not move, this section of weight is still going to attack. Although Duan Zhong is sure that he will capture this city, the loss is probably extremely terrifying.
This Guangzhou is located on the plain of the Pearl River Delta, with the North Sea on one side and the Pearl River on the other, and there are only two directions of the city gate for people to enter and exit, which can be said to be a barrier, and it will definitely not be easy to attack it, so Duan Zhong wants to capture Guangzhou City with 15,000 men and horses, originally for the army of this world, 15,000 people is tantamount to a fool's dream, even if there are only 5,000 officers and soldiers in this city, it is not easy to capture it, but Duan Chong has an elite army with high-end thermal weapons, So Duan Zhong wasn't too worried about this.
But in order to avoid casualties, Duan Chong decided to wait for two more days, if this Guangzhou city still does not send troops, then it can only be forcibly attacked, and there is no way to lose more, but after spending the night, this Guangzhou city finally has a movement, according to the spies, the governor of these two Guangzhou, Lord Diao Bin, led nearly 20,000 horses to break through the city, and galloped directly in the direction of Tingzhou City, and in this way, Duan Chong can also be greatly relieved, after all, these 20,000 horses are placed in front of him for themselves to be cut, It will also take a long time, and General Ying Haiying's side may have been delayed a little because of some things, but the plan went smoothly.
In the eyes of Lord Diao Bin, the governor of Liangguang, 10,000 horses were left to defend the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Guangzhou City, unless the other party forcibly attacked the city with more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, otherwise there was no door, but Lord Diao Bin didn't know that his opponent was Duan Chong, and he didn't know what kind of powerful weapon Duan Chong held in his hand.
It was only on the night of the second day that Duan Chong launched an attack, on the one hand, it was because it was too late to return to the city to help the soldiers and horses of the two governors of Guangzhou, Lord Diao Bin, and on the other hand, it was also because it was easy to do things late at night!
The moon hung high, Duan Zhong led 15,000 soldiers to stand quietly outside the east gate of Guangzhou City, this Guangzhou City is inevitably near the sea, the north is around the river, there are only two gates in the east and west, and Duan Chong chose to attack the direction this time is the east gate, and Duan Zhong is standing far away outside the city gate at the moment, watching the soldiers of Guangzhou City garrison in the distance on duty on the city wall, and did not realize the disaster that will be faced next.
Only listen to a loud "boom", but the west of Guangzhou City suddenly made a huge bang, and then the west of the city burst out of an extremely vigorous fire, which is naturally Duan Zhong arranged for Zongzi to do, first detonate the bomb in the west of the city, and set fire, then you can attract all the garrison of Guangzhou City to the west of the city to fight the fire, and it will be much smoother to attack the south of the city.
And after about half an hour after the sound of this explosion, Duan Zhong has been pinching his fingers to calculate, because the fire in the west of the city is monstrous, and it will definitely take a lot of manpower to extinguish the fire, and after these times, I am afraid that the soldiers in the entire city have been alerted and gone to the fire, and the west of the city is not a fire, but a fire in many places, which is enough for these soldiers to have a headache.
And just a moment later, the east of the city also suddenly sounded a loud bang, with the firelight rising, the city gate also fell to the ground, Duan Chong directly arranged for someone to place the bomb on the city gate to detonate, directly blew up the city gate, but it saved a lot of time to break the city gate, and with the collapse of the city gate, Duan Zhong raised the sword in his hand high, and shouted: "Rush!" He took the lead and led 15,000 people behind him to rush into the city of Guangzhou.
And at this moment, fighting side by side with Duan Chong, there are also two hundred "poison daggers" who are killing people and setting fire to create chaos everywhere in the city, with these two hundred "poison daggers", the city of Guangzhou is already a mess and chaos, and when Duan Zhong led 15,000 troops and horses to rush into the city of Guangzhou without hindrance, there was no resistance at all, only a few sporadic resistance forces, and they quickly collapsed under the impact of Dali soldiers.
This kind of battle situation makes Duan Chong very satisfied, because this kind of chaos can minimize the damage of Dali soldiers, before the attack, the enemy has lost his fighting spirit, and this war will naturally be won, so the next thing is just to clean up, but Duan Chong doesn't know that he is using the bomb weapon so wantonly, whether it is good or bad, anyway, after today's battle, the power of the Dali army and this bomb will definitely spread.
For the cleaning work, Duan Zhong is a very benevolent person, he has already given instructions in the army, but all the people in the city do not kill, those who surrender do not kill, those who are injured and have no power to resist do not kill, but all those who surrender and actively cooperate, are leisurely given medicine and food, and Dali soldiers are also actively involved in the ranks of firefighting, plus there is a Pearl River flowing water in the city of Guangzhou, the fire in the city was quickly extinguished, and the chaos did not last.
Duan Zhong was very satisfied with this ending, and by the time dawn came, there had been no skirmishes in the entire Guangzhou City, which meant that the Guangzhou City had been completely captured by Duan Chong, which was undoubtedly good news.
However, at the moment, this is just a good start, and Duan Zhong has an extremely important thing to do next, that is, to cooperate with General Ying Haiying's troops to flank and annihilate the nearly 20,000 horses led by the Governor of Liangguang, Lord Diao Bin, so Duan Chong has no time to rest.
