Dayao is a fortress city built in the mountains and mountains, about four or five miles long from north to south, two or three miles from east to west, and outside the east gate of the border between the two countries, it is a dangerous terrain of mountains and ravines.

The northern side is hilly and not steep, but at its highest point it is more than 100 meters.

On the other side, the deepest part of the valley near Dayao is more than ten meters deep, which is conducive to the flat land of camping, and the widest is only more than 1,000 meters.

If it weren't for the garrisons in Guizhou, Guangxi and other places, who were already good at fighting in such terrain, Liu Huayun would really have to worry about whether he could complete the crusade against Duan Yan's old thief within a month or two.

"Lord Wang, Uncle Xu Liang, what do you two think of this battle?"

When it comes to mountain warfare, Wang Yiheng and the general of the Guangxi garrison, who has not yet come, have the most right to speak, so catching the war horse on a high slope a few miles away from Da Yao, Liu Huayun asked the two people beside him.

"Master Horse, although the city in front of me is not big, it is a necessary fortress to Dali, I am afraid that it has already been stationed with Duan Yan's henchmen, and it is not easy for our army to conquer this city without Shenwei cannon......

If you have to attack, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties! ”

Wang Yiheng, who was in the prime of life, was about the same age as Li Lianglu under Liu Huayun, both of whom had three strands of long hair and were very high, lest he forcibly give an order regardless of the safety of the soldiers, so he stroked his beard and said worriedly.

"Yes, what Lord Wang said is reasonable, we must not storm it, after the army has set up camp, we can first ask the enemy to scold the formation to provoke the opponent's main general to fight, and then wait for the opportunity to kill the city."

Xu Liang on the side was very good at kung fu, and he was very confident that the two armies would call a battle, so he proposed.

"It's okay, if it really doesn't work, just wait a little longer."

Liu Huayun can feel guilty for the death of dozens of Yang family's soldiers for a long time, how can he ignore the life and death of his generals and storm the fortress and send them to death?

If the enemy really can't hold on, he can only wait a little longer, and after Lu Feng, Li Lianglu and others arrive, they can suppress it with firepower and reduce casualties.

As for climbing over the hills on one side and breaking directly into Dali City, two hundred miles away, Liu Huayun didn't think about doing so; However, such whimsical ideas, he immediately denied himself.

Not to mention how many rivers will block the road ahead, isn't there that ancient admonition? The three armies did not move the grain and grass first, and some mountain roads were impassable even for horses, let alone the vehicles escorting the grain and grass.

Once the lone army goes deeper, the 70,000 horses who are cut off from the supply will be a dead end if they can't take Dali City.

Now that Dafeng has hundreds of thousands of heroes and muskets and cannons as the backing, unless he is sick in the brain, he will never adopt such a ruined fighting style.

"Marshal Qiyu, hundreds of Dafeng cavalry have been found outside the city, among them there should be the main general of the other party, whether to go out of the city to meet the battle, please decide!"

In the hall of the county government of Dayao Guansai, a burly man with a slightly dark face, and two or three generals beside him, were listening to the reports of the soldiers in front.

"Stand down, explore and report again!"

The black-faced burly man sitting in the first place was Duan Yaohu, the guard general here, and the nephew of the old thief Duan Yan, and when he heard this, he waved his hand gloomily.

"General, there are only a few hundred people on the other side, according to the spies' report, their military camp is still dozens of miles away, if we go out of the city to capture the person who is the leader, we will definitely make its three-way army self-defeating."

After the herald retreated, a young man in armor beside him couldn't help but open his mouth to propose.

"General Ji's words are wrong, the king has an order for us to stick to the border and wait for reinforcements from Annan, in case this is a trap laid by the other party and deliberately leads us out of the city, wouldn't it be a trap......"

Another middle-aged man who looked like he had joined the army immediately objected.

"From the perspective of adults, once we lose today's opportunity, I am afraid that it will ...... in the future"

"Is General Ji going to disobey the ......holy order?"

"Okay, shut up for me, the other party's master is not a fool, how can he be captured alive so easily, don't mention this matter again!"

Just when the young man and the middle-aged man were arguing, Duan Yaohu slapped the table in front of him and scolded sharply.

In fact, don't look at Duan Yaohu's five big and three coarse, this guy is a cowardly and fearful coward, otherwise he wouldn't have asked his uncle Duan Yan for reinforcements before the victory or defeat was scored.

Hmph~~~, you can be a generalissimo even if you are a coward, and it is strange that the throne of the traitor Duan Yan is not lost.

A trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of the young man surnamed Ji, and he stepped aside and stopped talking.

The time soon came to the afternoon of the second day, and the 70,000 troops under the command of the three commanders successively marched to the outside of Dayao City.

Of course, due to the topography, not only the northwest slopes were used when camping, but even the flat valleys in the southeast were occupied by the 20,000 troops under Kizusu.

It was not early today, and Liu Huayun did not order people to start fighting the enemy and scolding the enemy, but the public opinion propaganda methods he used to use still had to be prepared in advance.

"Duan Yaohu, you gutless rats, chaotic ministers and thieves, you don't come out to die!"

Early the next morning, Xu Liang, Xu Yunlong, father and son took five hundred Yang family troops out of the camp gate, and began to call for battle in turn at a distance of 300 meters from Dayao Pass.

It's just that the Dali soldiers on the city wall, although everyone was nervously full of bows and arrows, they didn't seem to hear it, and hung up the war-free card high, and ignored it at all.

Moreover, as soon as the Yang family's army entered their range, the defenders on the city gate would shoot a flurry of arrows, and the intention of holding on was undoubtedly revealed.

There was no way, Xu Liang had no choice but to follow Liu Huayun's instructions to pull out the improvised public opinion propaganda vehicle, and let the selected people with loud voices start to bombard the soldiers in Dayao City indiscriminately.

Content? It is nothing more than Duan Yaoying, the royal princess of their lineage, who borrowed the teacher of justice from Dafeng to eradicate Duan Yan, a traitor, and restore the orthodoxy of the Duan family.

Let them recognize the reality, wake up in time, and don't work hard for traitors and villains......

In this way, from this day on, the Dafeng army under the city, in the case of scolding and fighting to no avail, the attack on the heart of the fortress was carried out in turn from dawn to darkness for more than seven hours.

In just three days, tens of thousands of people who were polluted by the noise began to be in a trance, but this was just the beginning of a nightmare, because from the next day, the other party did not even let go of the night.

A few days later, the soldiers in the city who had long been familiar with the words of the city, unconsciously, the fighting spirit had been gradually worn out, and they had subconsciously believed the other party's words;

And Duan Yaohu, as the commander, could also feel that the situation was getting worse and worse, so another letter for help was sent to the Dali Palace.

"Damn, who is the lord of Dafeng? What is this oversized chariot? ”

A day later, Duan Yan angrily closed the fold and handed it to Ding Xun beside him, his face was full of doubts.
