Chapter 1442 This is not in accordance with the Art of War

On October 18, the sixth year of Jingkang of the Great Song Dynasty, on the bank of the Dadu River.

"Bang ......"

"Whoa......"

"Defeated! Defeated! ”

On the battlefield by the Dadu River, the sound of the salvo of arquebuses, the sound of the frightened war elephants shouting, and the shouting of the Dali generals gathered into a tsunami-like sound, which was extremely panicked and noisy, covering the surrounding mountains and mountains.

To the south of the Dadu River, on an open slope seven or eight miles wide at the foot of Longtang Mountain, an incredible scene is being staged.

Covering most of the slopes, there are not 80,000 but 60,000 officers and soldiers of Dali, who are falling into panic and collapse. On the opposite side of them, the 9,000 Song troops on the low-lying Dadu River beach launched a strong attack on the enemy who was several times larger than themselves from the bottom up.

The Dali State Government and the State Prince, who was arrayed on the top of Longtang Mountain, Marshal Gao Liangcheng couldn't believe his eyes.

How can there be such a ridiculous thing in the world?

In today's battle, I obviously took advantage of the right time, place and people. No matter which book of war you use to analyze the truth, you should have won a big victory!

In terms of numbers, the enemy crossed the Dadu River with less than 10,000 men and horses, while his own soldiers and horses were as many as 70,000. Seven to one!

On the terrain, the enemy is in a backwater formation, and it is on the low beach of the Dadu River. And he occupies the northern slope of Longtang Mountain, condescending, and is in a state of overwhelming strength.

And he has more than 100 war elephants, all of which are monsters like small mountains and covered in armor. More than 100 war elephants were placed in a row and stepped over, which could also disperse the Song army, which was less than 10,000 people.

In terms of strategy, Gao Liangcheng also thinks that he is very clever! He is a master of war who is familiar with the art of war and battle planning and formation diagrams! Moreover, in this battle of the Dadu River, he also carried forward the principle of never getting tired of deceit, and used the tactics of attacking it halfway.

did not let all the more than 20,000 troops of the Song people cross the river, only let less than 10,000 Song troops come over to the Dadu River, and immediately launched a general attack.

With such a comparison of forces, such a geographical advantage, such a clever strategy, and more than a hundred war elephants, how could it be lost?

You let Sun Wu, Sun Bin, Wu Qi, and Jiang Taigong all judge and judge!

How can you lose?

But Yue Fei, who commanded the Song army today, is an unreasonable master, and it is useless for anyone to judge him. He used 9,000 men to attack 70,000 people, and he won the battle.

And...... Also win very easily!

The reason why they won easily was that the war elephants of the Dali people were too clumsy. Elephants are quite large, but they are very timid, and they can easily get frightened and go crazy.

Therefore, after more than a hundred war elephants were slammed by Yue Fei's thousands of heavy muskets, one-third fell on the spot, and two-thirds of them went crazy and turned around and ran.

In fact, it is not uncommon for war elephants to go crazy on the battlefield, so the soldiers who manipulate the war elephants carry hammers that can smash the war elephant's skull.

If the war elephant gets out of control, kill it immediately!

But the problem was that Yue Fei's subordinates also had the opportunity to understand war elephants, so he arranged for some musketeers to use heavy smoothbore guns to hit the soldiers on the back of elephants. As a result, dozens of war elephants that lost control turned around and stepped on the bodies of the Dali soldiers like crazy and rushed towards Longtang Mountain.

Yue Fei immediately seized the fighter plane and ordered his 9,000 soldiers to follow the elephant to attack.

Under the impact of 9,000 Song troops dressed in iron armor and armed with spears, heavy muskets and swords and shields, the 70,000 army of Dali people collapsed at the touch of a button!

Marshal Gao Liangcheng of Dali had to flee south in panic under the protection of a few pro-soldiers.

And his escape also announced the collapse of Dali's rule in Jianchangfu.

In less than 20 days, all the barbarians surrendered to the Great Song Heavenly Soldiers, accepted the official position appointed by Yue Fei, sent the barbarians from their headquarters as the leader, and also provided all the supplies needed by Yue Fei's army.

In just 25 days, Yue Fei's army, which had swelled to 100,000, had already arrived on the shore of Ershui.

On November 13, Duan Yu, the fifteenth king of Dali, took Empress Wang, Concubine Zhong Xian, Concubine Mu Guifei, Concubine Li Shufei and other concubines, as well as princes and princesses, as well as his grandson Duan Zhixing, and a group of senior monks of Tianlong Temple, under the protection of Gao Shunzhen, an official of Qingping, fled from Dali City, which was about to be captured by the Song army, and went to the territory of Jiaozhi along the Fuliang River......

Dali, which was founded in 193 years (with a two-year break in the middle), ushered in its end!

Duan Yu fled with a large family into Jiaozhi, but before he arrived at Shenglong Mansion, the owner of Shenglong Mansion, Zhao Yan, the king of Jiaozhi County of the Great Song Dynasty, was also having a headache for a big battle that was about to start.

Zhao Ji's eighth old man, the eighth prince Zhao Yan's luck is also good, and he has won a Jiaozhi country, which can be regarded as a king. And more than seven years ago, Zhao Ji, who was still the emperor at the time, married one of Ji Yi's daughters as a concubine, and got a large dowry.

Zhao Yan, who has money and power, and has a beautiful wife, should have been a peaceful prince in Shenglong Mansion, and lived his life in a debaucherous manner.

But he never imagined that his joy would not last long, and the world would be in chaos!

First of all, the Great Song Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty went to war, and then his father-in-law Ji Yi was killed, and his father Zhao Ji was forced to abdicate Neizen, and then the Great Song Dynasty was divided into two, and his third brother Zhao Kai was elected as the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty by the parliamentary representatives of the eighteen state capitals of Laoshizi in Jiangning!

Soon after Zhao Kai became emperor, he sent Zhao Yan's brother-in-law Ji Jun to Jiaozhi to serve as the minister of state.

With the arrival of Ji Jun, Zhao Yan's good days are over.

Although Zhao Yan is the king of the Jiaozhi Kingdom, the Jiaozhi Kingdom was founded by Ji Jun and his father Ji Yi.

So as soon as Ji Jun came, the independent kingdom of Jiaozhi was gone, and it became a vassal state of the Eastern Song Dynasty. Zhao Yan's power has also been emptied by half, and the remaining half is almost the same, and it has to be used to help Ji Jun raise food and salary, train and prepare for war.

And the object of the war is the country of Zhenla, which is not very accessible to Jiaozhi.

Although the relationship between Zhenla and Jiaozhi has not been very good, it has nothing to do with Zhao Yan, because Li's Jiaozhi and Zhenla are fighting for Zhancheng.

But now that the city of Zhancheng is almost finished eating for Storm Zhou, there is nothing to do with Jiaozhi, and Jiaozhi and Zhenla are almost not bordering, what else is there to fight?

But who does Ji Jun care about this? All he had to do was recruit troops and prepare food and grass for the invasion of the Chao Phraya Valley. From the first year of the United States to the present, an expeditionary force of 30,000 people has been formed from scratch.

The 30,000 soldiers were all trained and equipped according to the standards of the Eastern Song Army, the officers were all from the military academies of the Eastern Song Dynasty, and the artillery was also transferred from the Eastern Song Dynasty. All infantry and cavalry were recruited in the country of Cochin. All mercenaries who work for money!

Although the money for recruiting soldiers was taken out by the Eastern Song Dynasty, the military rations of the 30,000 troops were all taken out by the Jiaozhi State, and the people accompanying the army were also recruited by the Jiaozhi State.

In addition, the country also needs to provide a large number of migrant workers and food for the estuary city (Chao Phraya estuary) that is under construction.

For a small country like Cochin, these burdens are not light!

And these burdens, all of which make wedding dresses for others, do not benefit a penny for the country of Jiaozhi.

Of course, Zhao Yan was not happy about such a thing, so when the news of Duan Yuguo's broken surrender came, the king of Jiaozhi Kingdom immediately felt that this was an opportunity for him to get rid of the Zhenla War.

"What? The Kingdom of Dali is gone? Ji Jun was also a little incredulous, "How is it possible?" When did it happen? ”

"It's October, November!" Zhao Yan said anxiously and quickly, "Chang'an dispatched 200,000 troops, and in just two months, it broke through the Dali Kingdom, and Duan Yu, the lord of the Dali Kingdom, has entered the territory of Jiaozhi, and will arrive at Shenglong Mansion in a few days."

Xiangguo, Jiaozhi must be prepared! It is better to leave the 30,000 troops that are ready to be sent to the mouth of the river in Jiaozhi. ”

"No, it can't be like this!" Ji Jun shook his head and said, "The arrow on the other side of the Chao Phraya River is on the bow, and the soldiers of the Zhenla Kingdom have arrived!" If the 30,000 troops on the Jiaozhi side do not pass through, the estuary city will fall if it is not done well. ”

"Then, what if the country of Jiaozhi falls?"

"Don't be afraid." Ji Jun smiled, "The people of Chang'an can still get Jiaozhi?" The gains and losses of Cochin are on the sea route...... Moreover, the Annan Province of Zhou is on the side of Jiaozhi State. If the king really loses the country, Chang'an will have to border with the power of Zhou in Jiaozhi.

They are on the side of the Central Plains, but they have just suffered a defeat, and they still dare to fight with Zhou in Jiaozhi? Isn't this looking for death? ”

"Then what should we do if they do call?"

Ji Jun thought about it and already had an idea, "It's easy to do, why don't you ask someone to take Duan Yujun's ministers and send them to Dali together, and then call your cousin brother to the official family in Chang'an?" ”

"Will this work?" Zhao Yan was suspicious, "According to Duan Yu, Chang'an is using Dali's ...... in the name of crusading against my Jiaozhi."

"That's all excuses!" Ji Jun waved his hand, "They just want to eat Dali Kingdom, and they won't really march into Shenglong." ”

He saw that Zhao Yan still looked sad, and sighed: "In this way, leave 5,000 people, and at the same time order people to build a fortress on the east bank of the Fuliang River. ”

"Okay, that's it, that's it!" Zhao Yan nodded again and again, "That Duan Yu family ......"

Ji Jun patted his chest, "The minister sent someone to arrest it!" ”

"Don't say catch," Zhao Yan waved his hand, "Please!" If you want to say please, my Great Song Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and Jiaozhi is also a country of etiquette. ”

"What the king said is extremely true," Ji Jun nodded again and again, "I am a country of etiquette, and I must arrest people with courtesy!" ”

This Duan Yu is really pitiful, he just lost his country and fled, leaving Yue Fei's tiger's mouth, thinking that it would be safe to flee to Jiaozhi country.

Unexpectedly, he met the embarrassed Zhao Yan and Ji Jun Junchen, and they became prisoners in a daze, and were sent to Dali City as a gift, and all the beards and tails fell into the hands of Yue Fei. After practicing martial arts for more than 40 years, it didn't come in handy at all.
