The Dian army that rushed to the front was beaten into a sieve with men and horses, which immediately surprised the cavalry behind, some tried to retreat, and some people continued to rush forward, and in a moment of chaos, more than a dozen knights fell under their horses, and the scene was chaotic.

Wang Mingzhang was still a little frightened at first, but as soon as he saw this situation, he suddenly came to his senses, and the cavalry of the Dian army had nothing to show for it, but it was just bluffing, and his confidence suddenly increased.

In fact, Wang Mingzhang guessed well, although Yunnan is rich in Yunnan horses, but this kind of short horses are a very good choice for consignment of goods, but it is too reluctant to let the Yunnan horses charge and fight, although Cai Yi attaches great importance to the cavalry, but only made 14500 cavalry, people eat horses and chew has made the Yunnan army a little unbearable, Cai Yi regained control of Yunnan, relying on the support of Sichuan, reluctantly expanded the cavalry to 2,000 people.

This is almost the size of a division, as for the remaining 3,000 cavalry, it is actually not an army at all, but the strong and powerful in Yunnan, Tusi, the armed forces under the head of the people, miscellaneous, Cai Yi was worried that he was fighting Qiao Yu in front, and these people jumped out to make trouble, so Suo surnamed called up their team and temporarily put together such a huge cavalry, which looked bluffing, but as soon as they fought, they exposed the Achilles' heel of lack of organization and training.

The commander finally stabilized the team, being sniped by the other side in this narrow mountain road, it was definitely not a good thing, he immediately decided to let those places charge in a miscellaneous manner, relying on them to consume the firepower of the Sichuan army, these armed forces had no choice but to shout and charge forward, at this time Wang Mingzhang had clearly seen these so-called cavalry, dressed in bells and whistles, and the short Dian horses held them as if they were playing a circus.

Wang Mingzhang immediately ordered the machine gun to fire, and the mortars were also involved, these people usually bully and bully the common people, where have they seen the real battlefield, and the horses have not been trained, as soon as they heard the sound of guns, they began to scratch, and the dense bullets came over, and the knights fell down layer by layer, with countless dead and wounded, and the wails were shocking.

The flesh and blood of the men and horses, the parts of the body are intertwined together, the narrow mountain road is diffused with a strong bloody atmosphere, it looks terrifying, these cavalry saw their comrades fall to the ground one by one, were killed by bullets, and were trampled into meat cakes by the horses' hooves, these people couldn't stand it anymore, they didn't care about any orders at all, turned around and ran backwards, due to the large number of people, the real cavalry of the Dian army in the rear was at a loss for a while, and was disrupted by these miscellaneous cards.

The two teams of cavalry lost their minds in the chaos, and couldn't help but shoot at each other, brandishing their sabers, seeing this kind of fratricidal scene Wang Mingzhang was stunned and overjoyed, and ordered his soldiers to strengthen their shooting, making the scene even more chaotic.

According to Cai Yi's plan, it is to use the cavalry of the descendants to attack the fortifications, so that these miscellaneous troops can cheer behind, and when the battle is won, it is still good for these people to fight with the wind, forming an overwhelming trend, but it is a pity that this idea has failed in the face of the cruel reality, but it has caused great trouble to their own people.

At this time, Daguan also reached the most critical moment, the Sichuan army recuperated, braved the heavy rain and began to storm several highlands held by the Yunnan army, the second and third highlands have changed hands several times, in less than half a day, Zhao Youxin's department has killed more than 500 people, there are corpses everywhere, blood flows into the rain, so that the whole battlefield is pungent blood, the mountains and rivers have turned blood-red, hideous and terrifying.

Just when the Dian army was about to be unbearable, Luo Peijin's reinforcements finally arrived, and after the two thousand fresh troops joined, the battle line was finally stabilized, and the Dian army took advantage of the situation to recapture a high ground, and the two sides were still in a stalemate.

However, the balance of victory has fallen to the Sichuan army, and the army led by Wang Zhanxu finally touched the vicinity of Zhaotong after a day and two nights of difficult trekking, but the team of 6,000 people at the time of departure is now less than 5,000, and the rest are all thrown into the mountains, but although exhausted, Wang Zhanxu still showed a satisfied smile, after all, the task is finally about to be completed.

"Brothers, I know that everyone is tired, but victory is just around the corner, as long as Zhaotong is taken, the Dian army will collapse in an instant after all, and the reunification of the southwest is just around the corner, everyone must work harder and kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!"

After a simple mobilization, Wang Zhanxu selected a part of the soldiers to disguise themselves as wounded soldiers of the Yunnan army, and stumbled towards Zhaotong with each other's support, and the defenders of Zhaotong were taken aback when they saw this situation.

"What part are you from?"

"Bastard, Lao Tzu just left Zhaotong yesterday, don't you grandsons know us, all the reinforcements we sent to Daguan were ambushed, dead and wounded, only a few of our brothers escaped, and now Daguan is probably not guaranteed!"

As soon as the defenders heard these people say this, they were immediately surprised, the pass had fallen, and seeing that this Zhaotong was about to become the front line, everyone was frightened, and they couldn't care about anything else, so they had to let these wounded soldiers temporarily enter the city to rest, and then immediately went to report to Luo Peijin, and the wounded soldiers supported each other and finally passed a few trenches and came to the bottom of the city wall, and the defenders were about to send some food and drink to these people.

As soon as they opened the city gate, how did they know that these wounded soldiers showed their weapons in an instant, killed more than ten people in an instant, and controlled the city gate, the Sichuan army brigade heard the gunshots, and knew that the plan was successful, and suddenly the army came out and seized the city gate, and the several trenches originally set up by the Dian army all became decorations, although some soldiers were still loyal to their duties and shot and shot, but because of the chaos at the city gate, they had no fighting spirit and were chaotic, and they could not stop the Sichuan army that was surging at all.

The Sichuan army rushed into the city, and soon defeated the Dian army in chaos, Luo Peijin was still in confusion, and was surrounded by the Sichuan army in the command headquarters, Luo Peijin could only be captured, after taking Luo Peijin, the Dian army in the city could no longer stop the Sichuan army, and Zhaotong changed hands.

"General Luo, I believe you are a smart person, now that Zhaotong has changed hands, in fact, the situation of the Sichuan-Yunnan War has become clear, you won't be able to see it clearly!"

"Alas, the king is defeated, since I have been captured, I will all listen to the arrangement of the commander Wang!"

"This is the best, you immediately give Zhao Youxin an order, report to him, and let him quickly return to Zhaotong!"

Luo Peijin was very obedient and sent a telegram to Zhao Youxin, after Zhao Youxin, who was fighting on the front line, got this telegram, it was like a thunderbolt, if something went wrong with Zhaotong, did it make sense to fight hard here, so Zhao Youxin hurriedly ordered a retreat, the so-called defeat was like a mountain, and after the order was issued, the Dian army was not prepared at all.

The retreat soon turned into a rout, a complete rout, the soldiers threw their guns and ammunition to the ground, and hurriedly withdrew from the pass, the main force of the Sichuan army quickly occupied the pass, the portal of northern Yunnan was opened, and Zhao Youxin's rout army had not yet arrived in Zhaotong, and he got the news that Zhaotong was occupied by the Sichuan army, and he knew that he was deceived, but there was no way, he could only bypass Zhaotong and retreat to Kunming.

The news of the Sichuan army's rapid capture of Zhaotong soon spread all over the world, and everyone had no hope for Cai Yi, with the favorable terrain of the Zhaotong region could not hold for three or five days, could other regions still resist, and the change of people's hearts accelerated the defeat of the Dian army, and the morale also decreased rapidly.

After the Sichuan army forward passed Zhaotong, the momentum along the way was like a bamboo, Huize, Dongchuan, Xundian surrendered without a fight, the local heroes have sacrificed the city, and Cai Ye, who was still besieging Luoping, knew the news, almost fainted, he knew that something was wrong, and he could only abandon Luo Ping and quickly withdraw to Kunming!

"Medallion, good fight! It's amazing that you kid actually blocked the charge of thousands of cavalry! ”

"Report to the commander-in-chief, it's a rabble, not cavalry at all!"

"Don't say that, once the cavalry is launched, the momentum is still very amazing, it is very good to be able to maintain composure, and it is even more remarkable to be able to defeat the strong with the weak!"

Han Yong was very satisfied with Wang Mingzhang's performance, when he got the report, saying that when the cavalry of the Yunnan army detoured to Xiaobaishiyan Village, he was surprised, if it was passed by the Yunnan army, the logistics line would be threatened immediately, but fortunately it was blocked by Wang Mingzhang, and after the reinforcements arrived, the cavalry of the Yunnan army barely stopped the chaos, and the plan interspersed with detours naturally went bankrupt.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, the news that the Zhaotong defense line had been broken through, Han Yong and Wu Tong both knew that the victory had been laid, and sure enough, the Dian army quickly retreated, and Han Yong immediately led the army to capture Shizong, Lu Liang and other places, and Qiao Yu's main force formed a pincer attack, all of which were rapidly approaching Kunming.

At this time, Cai Ye was not in his heart, his body could no longer support it, and he fell, and the little morale left in the Dian army had disappeared at this time, and Cai Ye called Gu Pinzhen to his side.

"Xiao Zhai, I'm afraid I can't do it, the Dian army will rely on you in the future!" After saying this, Cai Ye coughed more and more, and his face was also red, Gu Pinzhen had been under Cai Ye for a long time, and now he was very distressed when he saw him in such pain.

"Governor, you are still young, why do you say such unlucky things?"

Cai Yi reluctantly settled down, "Yes, I am young, but when I am young, I must be vigorous, so I can't see another person younger than me surpassing me, you say I shouldn't fight?" ”

Of course, Gu Pinzhen knows Cai Yi's thoughts, from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the present, China is a world of young people, young people in their twenties and thirties are governors, teachers abound, and the same is true for academia and business, which is unimaginable in later generations, everyone knows in their hearts that this is an era of heroes, who doesn't want to be famous in history, who doesn't want to be in charge of the world, at least it is for the country and the people, and at the small point it is for their own ambitions, everyone must firmly grasp the power in their hands, which is understandable.

However, it is obvious that Cai Yi's luck is not good, the opponent is strong, but his health is not good, his condition is serious, and he can only fall into the current situation, what can Gu Pinzhen say.

"Governor, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, you still have to take care of your health!"

"Now, you don't have to persuade me, let Mr. Li Mo go, let him be the governor of Yunnan Province, responsible for the aftermath, and I can't let the Yunnan fathers and elders suffer because of me!"
