"The Tang Army actually only sent such a few people out!"

In front of Yingchuan City, seeing the number of Tang troops in formation, Duan Baolong couldn't help but smile.

"Metropolitan Governor, listening to the movement in the south of the city of Suichuan, there seems to be a sound of fighting, can't Zheng Maihei's army also attack the city? The Tang army did not defend the city at this time, and dared to go out of the city to face the battle, is it too big.

Fighting on two fronts is a taboo for soldiers. ”

Seeing that the Tang army dared to go out of the city to meet the enemy on their backs, it really made Duan Baolong's people a little puzzled.

"It shows that Tang Jun is too big!" Duan Baolong smiled coldly, "As long as you defeat these Tang troops in front of you." Pass the order to go down, prepare to attack, and be sure to wipe out these Tang troops here.

We want the Tang people to know that Nanzhao is not something they want to come to. ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

With Duan Baolong's order, all the 20,000 troops in his hands were staked and rushed out with weapons.

The charge of 20,000 people is still not small.

And seeing these armies in front of them, which were no different from the rabble, the 10,000 Tang troops lined up were all sneering.

Kang Huaiying rode on his horse and brandished his lance, and with a loud roar, the pikemen at the front got up and raised their spears, and the line began to advance neatly towards the front.

Behind them, there were also sword and shield men and crossbowmen who followed closely.

After a while, the queue began to separate, freeing up a passage tens of paces wide in the middle.

Duan Baolong's army didn't take it seriously, thinking it was cavalry, but after the cavalry, they rushed out of a group that surprised them... Elephant.

That's right, it's the elephant!

How could the Tang Army have elephant soldiers?

Duan Baolong didn't know what was going on, but the elephant soldiers rushed over.

Although most of Duan Baolong's troops charged fearlessly, the elephant soldiers in front of their team were frightened, and their swords and spears could only cut wounds on the elephants, and they could not stop the elephants' charge, not to mention that behind the elephants, there were a large number of Tang cavalry and infantry.

The rough-skinned elephant soldiers began to rush forward, and the elephant soldiers who had taken refuge in the Tang Dynasty brandished spears and stabbed those former comrades.

Facing the Tang army with elephant soldiers to help, Duan Baolong's army was like an egg touching a stone, splashing egg liquid on the ground. However, the Tang army, especially the elephant soldiers, stood still, but Duan Baolong's army suffered heavy casualties.

How will this battle be fought?

"Why did the Tang Army have elephant soldiers?" Duan Baolong shouted.

The surrounding subordinates looked at each other, and they didn't know, it stands to reason that there should be no elephant soldiers in the Tang Army.

"Governor Dadu, the last general remembers that Zheng Maisi has elephant soldiers in his hands, and they are in Longkou City!" One of his subordinates hesitated.

This is already obvious, why did the Tang Army have elephant soldiers? In addition to Zheng Maihei's side, where else could the Tang army get elephant soldiers?

"Zheng Maihei!" Duan Baolong gritted his teeth and said.

At this time, Duan Baolong thought that Zheng Maisi had taken refuge in the Tang Army, and he had fallen for Zheng Maisi's tricks.

In the front, the fight continued, but Duan Jun was obviously at a disadvantage.

Whether it was the indestructible elephant soldiers, the invincible cavalry, or the iron shield-like infantry, the Duan army lost the confidence to resist.

I don't know who shouted, "Run... ”

Defeat is like a mountain!

In an instant, Duan Jun threw away the weapons in his hands, spread his legs and turned to run.

I don't know if I know if I might die if I run back, or if there are other reasons, these Duan troops began to run to both sides, towards the mountain forest.

After the army's morale was weakened, the entire army collapsed at once, no matter how Duan Baolong shouted, he couldn't stop the rout of the entire army.

Seeing this scene, Duan Baolong also panicked, and hurriedly turned his horse and ran towards Ningbei City.

Take advantage of your illness to kill you.

Although he may not be able to capture Duan Baolong, Liu Cheng intends to capture Ningbei City.

Now they don't have time to capture Jianchuan City, but the gateway of Ningbei City must be taken, as for when to attack the Jianchuan Jiedu Envoy, that will be later.

The infighting between Zhao Shancheng and Zheng Hu led to the fall of Longkou City, and Duan Baolong's army was defeated in Suchuan, and less than 3,000 troops fled back to Jianchuan City.

Then Liu Cheng commanded the army to arrive at the foot of Dali City.

When the news reached Yangtho City, Zheng Maihei, who originally thought that he could turn the tables, heard the news, and the whole person was like a mourner, and he lost his soul directly.

Just when the whole Yangtho City was panicking, the news came that Zheng Maisi had self-immolated in the palace.

When the news broke, the whole country was thrown into chaos.

Here Liu Cheng led the right military guard to conquer Dali City, and the soldiers were under the city of Yang Tho, at this time Zheng Maisi had already self-immolated and died, and finally under the joint efforts of a group of civil officials who had already hooked up with Jinyiwei, Kaicheng surrendered.

The news of Yang Tho Baa City reached Taihe City, and the generals of the defenders of Taihe City decisively opened the city gate and surrendered to the Tang army outside the city.

This also means that the Great Chowa Kingdom, which was established less than a few months ago, was declared extinct.

In July of the twelfth year of Qianning, Cui Anqian led a large army to arrive at Yangtho City and closed the palace of Dachangheguo.

This also means that when the Xuanzong Dynasty was not completed, during the reign of Li Ye, the Tang Dynasty conquered the capital of the former Nanzhao Kingdom.

In August, Duan Baolong fled from Jianchuan City, and fled to Lishui Jiedu Envoy with his cronies and wealth, and then the Tang army captured Jianchuan City and announced the occupation of Jianchuan Jiedu Envoy.

In the same month, Longteng held a ceremony in Yangtho Baa City and officially became the fourteenth king of Nanzhao.

In September, the imperial court decreed that the Shibi area should be Dali Prefecture, with Yongchang Prefecture and Yongchang Jiedu to the east as Yongchang Prefecture, Jianchuan Jiedu to the west of the Mosome River (and Jinsha River) to change to Lizhou, and Jianchuan Jiedu to the east of the Mosome River to be assigned to the Huichuan Governor's Office.

At the same time, Dali Prefecture, Yongchang Prefecture and Lizhou Prefecture established the Dali Governor's Mansion (Zhongdu Governor's Office), stationed in Dali County, Dali Prefecture (i.e., Yang Tho Bacheng), with Yue Changxu as the governor.

At the same time, the post of governor of Zhen'an Prefecture was taken over by Liu Lin.

In addition, the Pingnan Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was established with the Dali Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the Yunnan Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the Zhennan Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and Cui Anqian served as the first Metropolitan Governor.

The Pingnan Metropolitan Governor's Mansion governed Kunming, and Longteng returned to Chang'an to live, and it was not until this time that those old ministers and generals of Nanzhao realized anything.

Although the bureaucracy of Nanzhao is still there, whether it is the army or others, it has been seriously reduced, and those who are disobedient to the Tang Dynasty have also been dealt with, and although others are dissatisfied, they dare not openly express their dissatisfaction.

However, Long Teng, the king of Nanzhao, is still there, and Li Ye will not abolish this set of bureaucracy, so nominally Nanzhao still exists.

The establishment of the Pingnan Metropolitan Governor's Office was also to ensure the stability of the places that had been conquered.

Most of the foundation of the Nanzhao Meng royal family was destroyed, Zheng Maihei was dead, and at this time, the opponents in Nanzhao were left with the entire territory of Lishui and Yongchang Jiedu where Duan Baolong was entrenched.

But at this time, Cui Anqian understood that he would not use force again, but chose to consolidate the towns he occupied, and hurriedly migrated people from Sichuan Province and other places to the Pingnan Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Datang has a weak foundation in Nanzhao, and it is precisely because of this that Datang gave up placing the Pingnan Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Dali Prefecture and moved to Kunming.

Because the population of the Kunming Governor's Mansion is not large, as long as tens of thousands of households are migrated here, it can greatly weaken the remnants of Nanzhao and help it stabilize.

As for the army under the jurisdiction of the Pingnan Metropolitan Protectorate, in addition to the army of the three major metropolitan governors, only the Zuolong Wu Army remained.

The Right Guards and other troops all returned to their original positions.
