Xiao Li has always been the top priority for Duan Zhongzhong, but since this period of time, Duan Chong has not had any extra experience to take care of Xiao Li's affairs, and now that Duan Chong's wife and children are by his side, he must be by his side all the time, otherwise according to Xiao Li's current cultivation, if he wants to sneak attack, there is really nothing anyone can do, Duan Zhong has never taken Xiao Li to heart before, that is because he has become a grandmaster-level martial arts master, Xiao immediately made a fuss, There are no waves, but this Xiao Li has now become a grandmaster-level martial arts master, and it is definitely not a problem to drag himself down, and Xiao Li does not say that the masters around Wang Haitang and Queen Wang are Xiao Li's own masters, and they can't cope with it by relying on Zongzi and Jiang Mingchen alone.

Although since Dali captured Yanjing City, both artillery and ammunition have been transported from the South Liang from afar, but the number of supplements in three months is not much, if this Xiao Li and Xiao Zhengrong and Xiao Beiping's army should attack, with Dali's current military strength of about 100,000 in North Liang, I am afraid there are some problems to deal with, what is even more terrifying is that most of the 100,000 Dali troops are scattered in various towns, Duan Zhong has on hand, can mobilize troops, less than 50,000, More than half of them were recruited in the territory of Beiliang.

Not to mention the combat effectiveness of these recruits, but to say that the appeal of the second prince of Wang Haitang and Xiao Beiding and the influence of Dong Zhongshu in the world, this army must be unstable at the first time, even if it is a rebellion, it is very likely to happen, so before this war starts, he may be in trouble, not to mention that the emperor of Northern Liang, Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao He, is also in the hands of Xiao Beiping, if Xiao Beiping convinces Emperor Zhengkang, Duan Zhong will have even more headaches.

Duan Chong now has nothing to rely on, except for the city and artillery, and a question in front of Duan Chong, that is, whether to defend or take the initiative to attack, if you choose to defend the city, the opponent's army will attack in a big way, the cities of Beiliang will be broken, one by one, Dali's army can only sit and wait, even if it can hold a few important towns with artillery, but once the supply line is cut off, Dali's army can't rush to help, then it will face the situation of running out of ammunition and food, but if you take the initiative to attack, Artillery can play a limited role in the movement war, and Duan Chong has no way to divide his troops now, if he attacks Xiao Beiping and Xiao Zhengrong, Xiao Li will take advantage of the situation and vice versa, so at this moment, Duan Chong is really in a dilemma and dilemma.

Duan Zhong took a deep breath, but suddenly thought of something? Hurriedly asked Jiang Mingchen: "Where is Xiao Li's army right now, and is there any movement to send troops to us!" ”

Jiang Mingchen said: "According to the news, this Xiao Li's army is in the process of rapid expansion and reorganization at the moment, and there are quite a few of them, but it will take a certain amount of time to form an effective time!" ”

"What's that time!"

"About twenty days!"

"If Xiao Li sends troops, he can go to Yanjing City in a few days!"

"About ten days!"

"Xiao Li's side has some contact with Xiao Zhengrong and Xiao Beiping's army!"

"I don't know about this, but if there are conditions, I believe Xiao Li will definitely do it!"

Duan Zhong nodded, all the questions he wanted to ask had been asked, but Jiang Mingchen suddenly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Duan Chong: "This seems to be the only piece of good news!" ”

Duan Chong took the letter, hurriedly opened it and looked at it, and suddenly showed joy, this is a letter written by Zongzi from the east, these days, Duan Chong sent Zongzi to Dongyi, it was to seek a promise from the Great Grandmaster of Dongyi, promising that Dongyi would ignore the remnants of the Northern Liang army in the east, and would not let the army of the Northern Liang enter the territory of Dongyi, for such a promise, Duan Chong also gave the Great Grandmaster of Dongyi a promise: Dali will never invade Dongyi, and this letter is to tell Duan Chong: The Great Grandmaster of Dongyi agreed to such a request.

In fact, Duan Chong has the strength to make such a request, because counting Duan Chong, there are two grandmaster-level masters in Dali, and there is only one in Dongyi, so it is naturally an unwise choice to fight one against two, since Duan Chong is willing to bow his head and request, there is no reason for Dongyi Grand Master not to agree, Dongyi Grand Master agreed is something Duan Chong expected, but when he received the news at this moment, he still couldn't suppress his excitement, and there was finally a glimmer of light in his eyes.

And then, Duan Zhong issued a series of orders, the first of which was to let Jiang Mingchen escort his wife and children to Nanjing Zhengkangdi, as long as the war was together, Yanjing, where Zhengkangdi was located, was a safe place, and at the same time immediately repaired the book to ask for the support of Zhengkangdi, the second was to order Zhu Siwen, one of the four retainers of Dali who stayed in Northern Liang, to unify and compile the soldiers and horses in the city west of Yanjing, and lead 20,000 horses to bluff in the west. Duan Zhong personally led 30,000 soldiers, of which 10,000 were Dali's own soldiers, and the other 20,000 were newly recruited sergeants, and he mobilized 1,000 cannons and marched to the east overnight.

At this moment, Duan Zhong has realized that time is extremely precious to himself, Xiao Li's army only needs a month from the integration to the soldiers in Yanjing City, and Duan Zhong must solve the hidden dangers on the Dongyi border in this month, Xiao Beiping and Xiao Zhengrong led the remnants of the Great Liang Army, to avoid being attacked by the enemy, and in the face of a grandmaster-level master like Xiao Li, Duan Chong is also afraid of touching nails, so he chose to kill the place where the remnants of the Eastern Great Liang Army are located, Naturally, I can't care about any brotherhood, if I am not careful, I may lose the country that I have beaten down.

It takes ten days to go back and forth from Yanjing to Dongyi, so Duan Chong only has twenty days to solve the army of Xiao Beiping and Xiao Zhengrong, and eat 100,000 people with 30,000 people, this is by no means an easy thing, even if the army of Northern Liang lacks weapons and food, even if Duan Chong mobilizes a hundred cannons, but as long as he does not fight a positional battle, Duan Chong will not be able to win this battle in the short term, of course, if Duan Chong personally kills Xiao Beiping and Xiao Zhengrong, the matter will be solved. But Duan Zhong was always unwilling to use such means to defeat his "brother".

Therefore, Duan Chong quietly marched all the way to the east, that is, he did not make even a sound, and the road he chose was also a small road, remote and uninhabited, and on the road ahead, Duan Chong sent a full 500 "poison daggers" to investigate, and strive to ensure that no water leaks, that is, even the march was changed to a night march, and the day was lurking and resting, but fortunately, the day was slightly shorter in this early spring, but it did not delay the time.

And on the night of the ninth day, Duan Zhong finally led 30,000 soldiers to the border line of Dongyi, ten miles away in front of Xiao Beiping and Xiao Zhengrong led by the remnants of the Great Liang, the number was full of 100,000, and on this way: the "poisonous dagger" had secretly cleaned up the scouts and spies that were close to three digits, in order to prevent the night from dreaming too much, the army of the Great Liang noticed something, Duan Zhong decided to launch an attack at night, not to give the Great Liang army a chance to react.

Not far away, there were a few flowers in the barracks of Da Liang, and the moon was already above the middle sky, Duan Zhong touched his nose, estimating that the time was almost up, and most of the Da Liang soldiers should have fallen asleep, Duan Zhong took a sharp breath and gave the order: attack.

The hooves of the Dali soldiers are covered with cloth, the mouths of the horses are also covered with horse chews, all the cannons are placed on the carriage, as long as they rush to the range of five miles from the Liang army, they will be immediately unloaded and placed, and begin to bombard fiercely, everything is carried out quietly, smoothly to Duan Chong's surprise, 30,000 Dali soldiers quietly approached the Liang military camp, eight miles, seven miles...... Wuli, under the rapid cleaning of the "poisonous fangs", the enemy of Daliang was beheaded without sending any message for help.

All the cannons were unloaded from the carriage, quickly placed, filled with ammunition, all the soldiers were on standby, ready for battle, Duan took a heavy breath, but his eyes were staring at the camp in the distance, biting his lower lip fiercely, and waving the command flag.

Offensive.

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" ......

Dali's soldiers let out a deafening shout, rushed to the camp of the Northern Liang army, at the same time, countless artillery bombardments rang out, the barracks of Daliang suddenly sounded boundless artillery fire, everything was as smooth as Duan Zhong expected, for this heavenly soldier, the Liang people could not have any preparations, the Liang military camp has been burning raging fire, there are countless figures in the shadows and lights, it is already a mess.

Duan Chong's fists clenched, looking at the Dali cavalry charging in front of him, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart, just when Dali's cavalry rushed into three miles, suddenly countless sparks appeared on the ground, and countless deafening sounds, mixed with the sound of cannons, almost indistinguishable.

But Duan Chong's heart was dripping blood at the moment, because Duan Chong saw countless Dali soldiers planting horses and falling in the flames at the same time as the sparks lit up.

There is an ambush, which is Duan Chong's first reaction.

The enemy uses weapons that are as powerful as bombs.

This is the second reaction of Duan Zhong.

How can the enemy have bombs.

This is the third reaction of Duan Chong.

Mine.

This is the fourth reaction of Duan Zhong.

And after Duan Zhong reacted, he seemed to have some ...... It's too late.

At the same time that countless Dali cavalry fell, Daliang's army had already rushed out with shouts and killing, and rushed towards the enemy under the bombardment of artillery fire.

Duan Chong was a little flustered for a while: How could this be,
