Chapter 479: Soldiers are coming to the city

"General, the east gate of Wumeng County is ahead." Lu Yong, the leader of the scouts, pointed to the city gate two hundred meters away, "Among the enemy guards at the east gate, there is a centurion named Liu San, who is the inner response of the general of the Seriwei left in Wumeng City. However, General, Liu San's only more than thirty soldiers will accompany him against the water, so our army must rush into the city gate quickly. ”

"Okay." Tian Xiuyan, who was slightly nervous, nodded, and said to the herald: "Go down the order, all the soldiers are ready, and as soon as there is movement at the city gate, the daredevils will rush out with the general, and there is only one task, control the city gate, and wait for the arrival of the other two battalions." ”

"Yes, General."

Tian Xiuyan looked around and said, "It's almost time, Lu Yong, send a signal." ”

"Yes, General."

The ensuing process was much simpler than Tian Xiuyan had imagined in advance, and the performance of the Wumeng defenders was simply vulnerable.

Tian Xiuyan, who was a disciple of the Great Wizard of Jiang Yang and was expected to become the guardian of the Miao family, immediately displayed his unique Miao family's light skills after Lu Yong's signal was responded, and took the lead in running towards the east gate of the city, and then, three hundred daredevils also rushed forward desperately.

Tian Xiuyan's speed was extremely fast, a distance of fifty or sixty meters ahead of the other daredevils, and when Tian Xiuyan arrived at the east gate, Liu San and the others had just opened the city gate. The Wumeng guards who reacted, under the command of several other centurions, went down to the city gate one after another and were attacking Liu San and the others. The remaining soldiers on the city wall hurriedly opened their bows and arrows and shot at the Song army that rushed forward, but the sky was dim, and these soldiers were sparse in arrows, so they basically had no hit rate.

Tian Xiuyan quickly snatched a spear from the enemy's hand, injected internal force into it, sometimes did a stick sweep, sometimes when a spear stabbed, the enemy troops who rushed up were almost invincible, and in just a moment, more than a dozen corpses of enemy soldiers were left in the city gate.

Seeing Tian Xiuyan so brave, no one in the Wumeng garrison dared to step forward again.

It can be said that just by virtue of Tian Xiuyan's own strength, he has firmly guarded the east gate of Wumeng City. By the time 300 daredevils stormed the city gates, the enemy troops defending the city had scattered and fled in all directions.

"Lu Yong, ignite the fire and send a signal to Gao Shuai." Tian Xiuyan said excitedly.

"Yes, General." The short battle left a deep impression on Lu Yong, and the young general's martial arts were so good that he had seen it in his life.

Seeing the smoke rising into the sky, Tian Xiuyan immediately ordered to leave a battalion of troops to guard the east gate, and the rest of the people followed him to the north gate.

At the same time, Gundam, who saw the signal, immediately gave the order to siege the city.

Although Hongtong tried his best to suppress it, the unprepared and loosely disciplined Wumeng defenders were already panicked when they saw the Song army attacking the city, and some people became deserters one after another. In a fit of rage, Hongtong slashed and killed two deserters, but this did not have any effect, but made the Dali soldiers dissatisfied.

The state of the Dali defenders can be imagined what the result will be.

When Tian Xiuyan led eight hundred Song army soldiers to appear on the north gate city wall, the defenders on the entire north gate collapsed at once, and the Dali army, which had no intention of fighting, saw the enemy suddenly appear behind him, so he didn't care about any military orders, and immediately fled in all directions, and even the main general Gao Jiangong quietly slipped away without knowing when.

Centurion Hongtong sighed, looked at the Song soldiers who were armed with weapons in front and behind, smiled helplessly, and ordered the remaining dozens of Mongolian soldiers to put down their weapons and be captured.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Gao Gao left three battalions of 1,500 soldiers and Liu San stationed in Wumeng, and the rest of the soldiers went straight south after resting for an hour, heading straight to Shanxi, the central city of Yunnan Province.

Two days later, the Guangxi Military Region and the Miaojia Military Region also successfully arrived at the foot of Shanxian City, and the three-way army gathered at the foot of the West Mountain, ten miles away from Shanxian City, on time.

In the simple marching tent, General Gao, the temporary commander of the Southwest Military Region, summoned Fan Wenhu, Hong Yuan, Wang Lixin, and the main generals of the Three Route Army to discuss the siege of the city.

Gao Gundam in the center first said: "Generals, according to Your Majesty's instructions, our three-way army will form a temporary southwest military region, the purpose is to recover the entire territory of Yunnan, the enemy army in Yunnan will not think that our army will suddenly send troops on the occasion of the Xiangfan battle, therefore, as long as our army moves quickly, Kublai Khan, who is far away in Dadu, will not have time to send reinforcements." According to the information known to our army, although there are more than 40,000 enemy troops in Yunnan, only 10,000 Mongolian soldiers led by Hudun and Kudu really have combat effectiveness, and they are mainly distributed in the two cities of Dali and Shanyan. ”

Tian Xiuyan said: "Generals, Shanxian City is the largest city in central and eastern Yunnan, including 5,000 Mongolian soldiers under the command of Kudu and Geyue, and more than 10,000 Dali troops in Duanli, which is the most important city in Yunnan Province except Dali City. However, the wise and martial emperor has already made arrangements, and all the generals know that there are four routes of the army responsible for recovering Yunnan, the Sichuan Military Region, the Guangxi Military Region and the Miaojia Military Region. In this Shanxian city, General Sariwei has already deployed 3,000 elites in the city. Hehe, just wait for our army to launch a general offensive, and the inside and outside will be combined, and the battle will be successful. ”

Speaking of this, Tian Xiuyan walked to the only table in the tent, pointed to the map of Shanxian on it and said: "Generals, please see, this is the topographic map of Shanxian City, the whole city has four city gates in the east, south, west and north, and there are 1,500 Dali soldiers stationed in the east, south and west gates, and the north gate is a large camp of the enemy, and 5,000 Mongolian soldiers and 5,500 Dali soldiers are stationed here. According to the results of the discussion between Mr. Ye Dongsheng and General Seriwei, General Seriwei will hold an event at the West Gate at 3:00 a.m. tomorrow morning, and the general attack of our army is also scheduled for 3:00 a.m. ”

Gauda continued: "There is another point that is very advantageous for our army, the main road leading from the south, north and east to Shanxian City has been cut off two days ago by the soldiers sent by General Seriwei disguised as Dali's army, so it is very likely that the Mongol army in Shanxian City does not know that our army has arrived at the city. ”

Tian Xiuyan said: "Please give an order." ”

The generals also said together: "Please give the order." ”

"Okay, General Lou Anbang listens to the order."

"The end will be."

"Your 27th Chamber, as the vanguard of the main attack, will immediately go north and besiege the enemy camp in Shanxian City after General Seriwei opens the west gate."

"Yes, the last general commands."

"General Fan Wenhu."

"The end will be."

"You led all the officers and men of the Guangxi Military Region to follow closely behind the 27th Chamber, and also besieged the enemy's camp, and with the superior strength of our army, you must completely annihilate the enemy army."

"Yes, the last general."

"General Hong Yuan, General Wang Lixin."

"The end will be."

"Two generals, after the Miaojia Military Region entered the city, they went to the east and south gates respectively, and after controlling the east gate and the south gate, the main force returned to the west gate to garrison in case of enemy reinforcements from Dali."

"Yes, the last general."

"Okay, generals, send more scouts, increase the patrol range, recuperate, and wait for the opportunity."

At the same time, in the Tianlong Temple located in Shanxian City, the relics sat quietly on the ** of the secret room, and the relics on the side kept walking back and forth.

"Lord Wang, what do you think of the current situation?"

"Donglou, the battle of Xiangyang has been going on for some time, although it is still a balance of offense and defense, and I can't see the clues, but I think that Kublai Khan must not be Zhao Yu's enemy, as for the reason, I can't say." Shelikong smiled and said, "On the occasion of the Song and Meng War, Zhao Yu can also draw out 40,000 troops to attack Dali, which shows that he should be a bamboo in his chest, since we have embarked on this road, we can only look forward, tonight's battle is related to the belonging of the entire Dali region, you are good to cooperate, in order to seek more benefits for the future." ”

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates understand. In public and private, subordinates will do their best. ”

"The battle of Shanyan, including the battle of Dali City in the future, will not be a problem, the key is still the result of the Song and Mongolian wars, I am thinking, once the war in Dali is over, will you let you lead the Xingfu army north and join the Song and Mongolian wars?"

"The East Building, but listen to the arrangement of the prince."

"In this war of the Song army attacking Dali, although we will play a great role, but for the entire Great Song Dynasty, it is just a trivial matter, if you can go north to join the Song army, with the ability to revive the army, you must be able to make a lot of achievements, and then return to the hometown, it can greatly increase our status in Zhao Yu's heart."

"Lord Wang, my subordinates think it's better like this."

"Well, let me think about it again, it's going to be some time anyway."

The Xingfu Army that the two of them mentioned was a private army built by Duan Heng more than ten years ago, with a number of about 800 people, and it has always been an elite soldier that Duan Heng and Duan Donglou rely on the most. The most proud thing for the Xingfu army is that they once fought a battle with the Mongolian cavalry near Shanxi, and defeated a reorganized Mongolian thousand-man team at the cost of only more than 100 casualties, which surprised the Mongolian army at that time, and unanimously believed that the strength of the Xingfu army was no less than that of cowardice.

After years of conquest, this unit has become more and more mature, and it can be called the leading elite unit in Dali. Shelikong knew the importance of Shan, so he lurked in the city, preparing to meet the Song army's 3,000 soldiers, including this Xingfu army.
