Chapter 188: Civil Strife in Great Yao City
"Your Majesty, the main general of the other party should be Liu Huayun, who led the Yang family's army in Limahe Town, as General Shi said, is now Dafeng's concubine......
This kind of high-platform chariot has never been seen by the ministers, and as for why it can amplify its sound, I think it has something to do with this cylinder in the shape of a trumpet flower. ”
Ding Xun had just gone to see Shi Buhuan, who was immortal in the catastrophe, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly pointed to the big speaker in the upper room of the picture and replied.
"Damn, what is he doing with a country of horses running to the border?"
Hearing this, Duan Yan was not only angry, but also depressed and unable to help himself.
"I heard that you are looking for some ore, what is it? The minister didn't know. ”
In fact, Qin Wu more or less informed Shi Buhuan about these details of Liu Huayun, but because he was scolded by Duan Yan for a while after he came back, and because the injury was too serious, he was not able to report it in time.
"What about Annan's reinforcements? Where is it now? That kid only attacks the heart and does not attack the city, he must be waiting for the Shenwei cannon, it must not be as he wishes, we have to strike first......"
Dafeng can be prosperous for more than a hundred years, and the deterrence of Shenwei cannons has played a key role, and Duan Yan doesn't know that once the city gate is blasted open by Shenwei cannons, those defenders are simply vulnerable.
"Back to Your Majesty, according to the secret report sent back by the special envoy of Annan, Annan's 80,000-strong army has been assembled and is crossing the southeast border under the leadership of General Pan Zitao, and it will probably arrive at the ...... in a few days."
From Dafeng Capital to Dali, it is more than a star and a half farther than Annam, since Wu Buji has sent a large army;
It will definitely be able to launch a counterattack against Liu Huayun and others with an absolute superiority in strength before the arrival of the enemy army escorting the Shenwei cannon, so Ding Xun replied with confidence.
"That's good, hey~~~, I don't know if Zhixin, who went to Mongolia, has arrived smoothly, I hope he can do well."
Duan Yan dared to openly provoke Dafeng's Tianwei, relying on his own strength alone, it was simply hitting a stone with an egg, not only uniting Annan, who had grown rapidly in recent years;
He sent his second son, Duan Zhixin, to envoy Mongolia from Northwest Tibet, and he was also his follower.
However, he and Ding Xun both knew that it was not easy to enter Mongolia through the rugged and difficult plateau, and this lament was enough to represent everything.
"There really is a copper mine here, and the master is right......
"Yes, this copper mine seems to be very rich......"
Unlike Duan Yan and Duan Yaohu's uncles and nephews, who were terrified all day long, in the past few days, Liu Huayun and others have had a much easier and more comfortable life;
Anyway, being idle is also idle, while continuing the public opinion offensive against Dayao Pass, let the sons and daughters who are good at archery go to the surrounding mountains and forests to hunt and replenish meat, and he took hundreds of people to start looking for the mineral veins in the Dayao territory;
When the slope of the mountain, which was more than three miles away from Daying, was chiseled and pieces of yellow ore were mined, Xu Liang, Wang Yiheng, Pestle Zhou and others all praised it.
He found nickel ore in the Lima River and a very rich copper mine in Dayao, Yunnan, and his trip to the southwest was worth it.
As long as the city of Dali is conquered and Duan Yan is taken, those troops can be allowed to do free coolie mining and refining, and directly transport them to Jinling and the capital through the Jinsha River;
With the supply of a large number of resources, the mass production and application of electric machinery and firearms, within a few years, Dafeng will rise with an unstoppable attitude.
Another five or six days passed in a hurry, and the public opinion propaganda vehicle outside Dayao Pass was still making noise day and night, and what made Duan Yaohu helpless was that this morning, Duan Yaoying and Ya'er also went up to give a speech in person.
After such a long period of brainwashing, those ordinary soldiers who originally had the same mentality as whoever was the king were also a little shaken, after all, Duan Yan's throne and the name that came was not right.
"Report, the 80,000 Annan army has arrived in Chuxiong, and it will ......be possible to arrive in two days at most."
"Great, reinforcements are finally here."
At noon, just when Duan Yaohu was worried, he listened to the spies' report, and he suddenly said with joy.
"Report, marshal, something is wrong."
But before he could be happy, the smile on his face froze, and the herald who ran in again outside the door was almost knocked to the ground due to panic.
"What's so flustered, it's not good, it's a cannon."
Boom boom~~~~, without waiting for the man to answer, the sound of artillery fire whistling from the northeast has already explained everything.
"Dali's soldiers listen, read that you are waiting for the traitors to be deceived, this bombing only hits the city gate, if you don't surrender, it will be the time when you wait for your head to be in a different place!"
When Duan Yaohu walked out of the City Lord's Mansion and had not yet reached the east gate, the roar of artillery fire and the tremor of the earth had stopped, but the loudspeaker outside the city was playing these words that made him tremble.
Obviously, it was the opposing coach who wanted to get this pass with minimal casualties, so he did not order anyone to charge immediately.
"My lord, it's not good, the east gate is broken......"
The middle-aged man surnamed Cong hurriedly ran over, and to see where he was walking, it should have come from the east gate.
"Ji Lifeng, you lead people to bear it, even if you fight to the end, you can't hand over the barrier to others."
Hearing this, Duan Yaohu's pupils shrank, and he commanded the young man who ran on the other side.
"Don't obey orders, but where are you going?"
The young man named Ji Lifeng was the hot-blooded young general who wanted to go out of the city to arrest Liu Huayun and others, and he bowed down to promise according to his words;
However, when he saw that Duan Yaohu ran towards the west gate after finishing his order, he couldn't help but ask a mocking question with the corners of his mouth.
"What is Marshal Ben going to do? I still want you to point fingers. ”
After turning around and shouting angrily, Duan Yaohu turned around and strode away.
"Come on, take down this surname, Duan Yaohu, as a letter of nomination to Her Royal Highness the Princess, do you think you can escape from the palm of the master's hand?"
Looking at Duan Yaohu's arrogant back, Ji Lifeng suddenly smiled coldly;
Following his orders, dozens of soldiers with sharp blades in their hands quickly rushed out from the end of the street, directly surrounding the middle-aged man surnamed Cong and Duan Yaohu, whose faces had changed greatly.
It turned out that Ji Lifeng, who was very ambitious, took refuge in Duan Yaohu and became his right-hand man, but this guy usually likes to compete for merit and profit, lest he climb fast enough;
Often the more such people, the easier it is to rebel, since he knew that Duan Yan's dynasty could not last long, he secretly gathered a group of subordinates, and when the time was ripe, he was ready to kill the lord and surrender to Cheng.
"Ji Lifeng, you, if you want to rebel, you can't do it."
In order to facilitate his escape, his other henchmen were basically guarding the West Gate, but he didn't expect Ji Lifeng, who was deeply trusted by him, and Duan Yaohu, who would suddenly rebel, suddenly turned around and asked.
"Do it!"
With a look of ridicule on his face, Ji Lifeng didn't bother to explain at all, he took out his waist knife and rushed towards them first, and the others were not slacking off, and they all waved knives and guns to surround them.
Bang bang bang ~~~
Duan Yaohu is a bit of a good force, but his two fists are hard to beat with four hands, not to mention that his saber has suffered a lot compared to the opponent's spear, and in an instant, these two people screamed and became prisoners.
