Chapter 231: The Battle of Yang Tho City
Several soldiers entered the secret passage and checked it, and found that the inside had collapsed, which should be the mechanism set up by the Duan family to get rid of the pursuers.
Zhang Hao instructed the other soldiers to search the entire Duan Mansion, he followed Li Nan to the courtyard, and asked with some puzzlement: "Master, relying on the powerful firepower of our personal guards equipped with rifles and pistols, even if it is to sweep the capital of Dali, it is not a problem, why do you still risk coming to the Duan family?" ”
Li Nan shook his head and said, "It's easy to kill people, but if you want the people of Dali Kingdom to submit to me, it's too difficult, so I need a puppet of the Duan family." ”
"Didn't we attack Jiaozhi at the beginning by relying on strength, can't Dali be like this?"
"Jiaozhi and Dali are different."
Li Nan patiently explained to the old subordinate: "The Li Dynasty of Jiaozhi has basically subdued the entire tribe in the territory, although it is not the heart of the people, but it is also a unified country, destroying Li Qiande, attracting a large number of slaves and poor people, Jiaozhi is all in my hands." Dali is different, there are Bai, Yao, Miao three tribes, thirty-seven departments, due to hundreds of years of feudal system, they have formed an independent force, want to conquer them one by one, it takes a lot of time, but our time is not enough. ”
While the two were chatting, the soldiers who searched the entire Duan Mansion escorted a group of servants and maids, as well as the beautiful young princess Gao Shengjie, and walked out.
Li Nan frowned and asked, "There are only these people in the mansion?" ”
The soldier who led the team said respectfully: "Tell the master, we only found these people, and there is not a single child of the Duan family. ”
Slowly coming to Gao Shengjie, Li Nan asked, "Duan Zhengchun still got you down?" Do you know where the secret passage leads here? ”
"Huh." Gao Shengjie pulled her hair and said with a wry smile: "I'm from the Gao family, do you think Duan Zhengchun will tell me these secrets?" ”
What Gao Shengjie said was very reasonable, Li Nan nodded, and then ordered: "The people of the Duan family should have run away, as for the rest of the people here are some poor people, don't be embarrassed for them, let's go." ”
After receiving an AK rifle, Li Nan left Duan Mansion with Zhang Hao and others and went straight to the Dali Palace.
Thousands of Dali city guards who got the news on the way came to intercept them, but in the face of more than fifty Praetorian Guard gunmen who were equipped with rifles and had enough ammunition, it was only a one-sided massacre.
When attacking the palace, there was a slight delay, and the soldiers of the Gao family resisted desperately, but it didn't have much effect, and under the suppression of modern weapons, Li Nan soon saw Gao Shengtai holding a golden sword.
Glancing at the imperial guards who died on both sides of the road, Gao Shengtai stared at Li Nan and scolded angrily: "Li Nan, you treacherous and shameless man!" We have a covenant of mutual assistance, and I also married my most beloved daughter Anping to you, why do you still treat me like this? ”
Li Nan waved his hand and said, "Gao Shengtai, don't come with me like this." I have long known your secret agreement with the Zhenla Kingdom, and after you suppress the three Yang Dong Duan families in the country and stabilize the situation, you will take advantage of the Great Song Dynasty to attack the Guangnan West Road, and join forces with the Zhenla Kingdom to send troops to divide Jiaozhi and Zhancheng, am I right? ”
When Gao Shengtai heard this, he was immediately shocked: "How do you know about this?" ”
"Hehe, I really didn't know about it originally, but my people have been spying on Li Qiande, and this time he sent his son to Dali to match the bridge, and I accidentally learned about it. So, there's nothing wrong with me killing you, right? ”
"Don't forget, your 5,000 elite soldiers are being watched by 15,000 soldiers of my Gao family, and if anything happens to me, none of your soldiers will be killed!"
Li Nan smiled confidently: "You don't have to worry about this, my five thousand elite soldiers are definitely beyond your expectations, it is estimated that your army has already suffered heavy casualties at this time, you should still say your last words!" ”
Although Gao Shengtai didn't believe that his three times the number of soldiers in the local area would make a mistake, but the current situation was that Li Nanfang had the advantage, in order to survive, he hurriedly said: "General Li, even if what you said is true, but if you kill me, then the clans of Dali will definitely not stop......"
"No need, your Gao family's father and son are all outstanding people, and they are definitely not characters who will be controlled by others, in comparison, I still prefer the weak Duan family, and I can only feel at ease if I use them to rule Dali."
Seeing that Li Nan's killing intent had been decided, Gao Shengtai said: "Li Nan, the old man is the lord of Dali, can you agree to my last request?" ”
Li Nan thought that Gao Shengtai wanted to let his children go, so he nodded and responded: "As long as it is not too demanding, I can promise you." ”
Gao Shengtai crossed the golden knife in his hand and said loudly: "Old man Hero I, at this last moment, I want to fight you fairly!" ”
Xiao Xiong was indeed ruthless, his request was completely different from what Li Nan thought, Li Nan threw the rifle to Zhang Hao beside him, took the deadly lock throat gun he handed over and pointed at Gao Shengtai.
"I won't take advantage of you, come on!"
Gao Shengtai has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is very proficient in any kind of blade, he knew that this was his last chance to turn the tables, and immediately waved the golden sword in his hand that was as sharp as clay and attacked Li Nan.
When Li Nan first saw Gao Shengtai that day, he knew that this was an absolute master, although he was quite old and lacked strength, but decades of hard cultivation gave him extremely strong experience in the match.
The two of them fought together, it can be said that the opponent will meet the good material, Gao Shengtai is experienced, Li Nan is strong in the moves, and for a while, the square in front of the palace hall has the sound of gold and iron colliding.
The golden treasure knife in Gao Shengtai's hand and Gao Taiming's silver knife were originally a pair, both of which were made of meteorite iron outside the sky, and it was not a problem to cut iron and break steel, but the deadly throat gun in Li Nan's hand was not ordinary, it was a blue weapon drawn out by the magic system.
Li Nan wanted to kill Gao Shengtai with the gladiator's fighting moves several times, but this old guy was too cunning and immediately dodged and changed his moves when he encountered danger, but after a long battle between the two sides, the elderly Gao Shengtai began to show his decline.
People in this era do not live long, very few poor people live to the age of fifty, and there are very few sturdy old people in their sixties like Gao Shengtai, and it is not easy for him to persist until now.
Just when Gao Shengtai let out a panting sound and his steps showed a flaw, Li Nan stabbed him in the throat, and at this moment, two women's shouts came from not far away.
"Brother Nan, don't!"
"Engong, let my father go!"
Hearing this voice, the appearance of two girls instantly appeared in Li Nan's mind, killing their father in front of their daughter, which was a bit too cruel for them.
The sharp tip of the spear stopped in front of the throat of the white-haired Gao Shengtai, Li Nan hesitated, but slowly put the silver spear back.
Looking at the two sisters Gao Furui and Gao Yunlong, who were looking at him with complicated eyes, Li Nan sighed and said to the soldiers beside him: "Arrest him first, and deal with it later." ”
