The height of the platform on the well fence is higher than the height of most of the city walls in the world, therefore, in the siege battle, the archers of the Song Dynasty, who have been in a disadvantageous state, immediately took the initiative to speak passively, and shot the Dali soldiers on the city wall with the weapons in their hands, and within the range, they could not find any place to dodge.

In addition to the Song Dynasty's bow and crossbow, the bow of the god arm is the best in the world, once the well fence is really close to the city wall, even those poor people in Dali who are pulled under the city wall to serve as people's husbands will immediately become live targets.

What will make people feel even more incredible is that perhaps there has been no war in Dali for many years, and the soldiers near the border between the Song Dynasty and Dali have long been exhausted.

Soldiers have no will to fight, and soldiers have no will to fight.

In front of the sharpshooters such as Li Sunsin and the Liu brothers, the high-ranking generals of the Dali Kingdom who tried to stop and massacre the deserters at the head of the city were killed by the three of them one by one. As a result, the soldiers in this city themselves collapsed first.

After the city was broken, Cai Xuan sent someone to inquire, and only then did he know that it turned out that the soldiers and middle- and lower-level generals of Dali were not afraid of Cai Xuan's full tactics, but they were all afraid of Cai Dao.

If this clan brother appeared, then only a divine thunder would need to descend, and the city walls, city gates, and the soldiers above would all be turned into powder in an instant.

The rumors about Cai Dao in Dayue Country are already well-known in Dali Country, how can they not be afraid?

After that, during the march, in the city controlled by the Gao clan, the generals who were really stubborn could not be seen at all. Either he took the initiative to open the city and surrendered, or he was exterminated by the soldiers and middle and low-level generals in the city. And those cities that have been controlled by generals loyal to the Duan clan are all obedient.

However, Cai Xuan did not get carried away because of this, because he always remembered the offensive strategy given to him by Cai Dao.

Therefore, Cai Xuan led the army and did not stop along the way, but only sent a part of the Song army to defend the city on the way back and protect his retreat. As for those cities that voluntarily surrendered to the Song army, the original officials still managed local government affairs.

After taking Shicheng County and Dongchuan County, the rebellious army of the Song State was divided into two routes, one way to the army, Cai Xuan personally led most of the people, Li Sunchen and the Liu brothers as companions, and its goal was directly aimed at Dali, the capital of Dali, while Shi Ernai and Xie Feibao led a small number of men and horses, and the goal was directly aimed at Shanxian Mansion, that is, Kunming in later generations.

As for the rest of Dali, it is not impossible to leave it to the Duan clan to continue to govern.

The essence of the whole Dali country is actually the Dianchi Lake and Kunming Lake basin. Cai Dao has a deeper understanding of this point than anyone in this era.

Of course, in other prefectures and counties in Dali, there are still many places rich in silver and copper mines, and even gold. However, the proceeds from the exploitation of these precious metal deposits were not enough to cover the military expenses compared to the dispatch of troops to govern those places.

After Gao Shengtai got the news, he immediately vomited blood and fell into a coma.

This person is capable and ambitious, that's for sure. However, even if he changes his country name and ascends to the throne, on the whole, he is still very self-aware. Otherwise, before his death, he could specially instruct his son to return the throne to the Duan family. The reason why he did this was his own rebellious behavior, an excuse for the Great Song State to conquer Dali.

However, the change of things is often so elusive.

Unexpectedly, the more Gao Shengtai was afraid of something, he would come. He had just proclaimed himself emperor on the front foot, and the Song army attacked the territory of Dali on the back foot. Moreover, the people who led the army of the Song army had a vicious vision, if Dali lost Dali and Shanxian Mansion, then what was the point of him continuing to cherish this throne?

Dali is not like Western Xia, if something happens, there is also the Great Liao State to support it, Dali is not only helpless, but also enemies.

However, Gao Shengtai woke up a little late after all.

When he came to his senses, he just wanted to give the order to abdicate the throne immediately and return the throne to the Duan family's disciples, when a bad news suddenly came from outside the palace. Duan Zhengming, the former emperor who took the initiative to become a monk and had been living in seclusion in Tianlong Temple, suddenly disappeared. Gao Shengtai will not leave eyes and ears and heavy guards by his side, but after all, it is still the link he is most worried about, except for the big basket.

The next day, the Song army came to the city, and the soldiers and generals of Dali on the city wall found that Duan Zhengming, the emperor of Baoding, was standing beside Cai Xuan. And this matter is naturally the head and tail of the Seven Color Leader Organization.

After learning about this, Gao Shengtai was angry on the spot. Without the person in charge, the rest of the Gao family are all facing life and death, and internal strife is inevitable. Surrender is certainly not a no-go, and a rebel will never end well after defeat.

However, the generals of the Gao family all want to continue to hold on to Dali City, but smart people understand that as long as Duan Zhengming goes to the next stop in the city, the morale of the defenders of Dali City will definitely drop greatly, and how long can this wrong capital city be defended?

When Duan Zhengming was on the throne, although he didn't have any great achievements, he himself didn't have many evils.

If a new Duan emperor is established at this time, not only will he lose the trust of the army loyal to the Gao side, but he may not be able to convince the public.

Moreover, Gao Shengtai is Gao Shengtai, and the Gao family is the Gao family, and his own prestige cannot continue to continue the people's support for the Gao family. In this case, if this guy dies so suddenly, it is equivalent to pushing the entire Gao family into the abyss.

As a result, some wise children of the Gao family, taking advantage of the fact that the Song army had not completely besieged Dali City, secretly prepared to flee Dali City with their belongings, family members and cronies.

As long as these people run to those cities that the Gao family can still control in the south, their Gao family will have a comeback one day. Song Jun couldn't stay in Dali for the rest of his life.

However, Cai Dao had long expected this situation, and if the Gao family was allowed to run out of Dali City, it would really leave a great hidden danger to the Dali strategy of the Great Song Dynasty.

So, when Cai Xuannan's expedition set off, Cai Dao had already made people pay a heavy reward among the hundred tribes in Dali.

A person who is related to the Gao family's own head can be exchanged for a reward of 10,000 yuan, and if he is accompanied by his family, he can get a total of 20,000 yuan.

And the concubine is much cheaper, with a reward of 500 guan and 1,000 guan respectively.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still a piece of meat.

What's more, those clan leaders who want to reward people are not stupid, if the people of the Gao family stay in the city, no one can do anything about them. However, once they leave the city, they are lambs to the slaughter.
