But the hundreds of corpses of the enemy left outside the east gate showed Gao Zhiping's proud record, and this victory took only half an hour.

Gao Zhiping, who got his wish, finally gave up the idea of continuing the pursuit, he was different from Gao Zhengli, Gao Zhiping already knew that the battle was not fought with the Ming army, and there were continuous explosions at the north gate, highlighting the position of the Ming army.

Gao Zhiping was undoubtedly a smart man, he had already learned the firearms of the Ming army, and he knew that he and the 6,000 "cavalry" under his command were not enough to defeat thousands of Ming troops.

Now that he has the results of the battle and can save his dignity, the most important thing at the moment is to put the fruit in his pocket, and he also wants to get rid of the crime, after all, he disobeyed his uncle's order to fight without permission this time.

And now there is a way to get rid of the crime, that is, to reinforce the North Gate, Gao Zhiping knows the power of the Ming army's firearms, since he appeared at the North Gate, then the North Gate may be in danger, and he rushed to the reinforcements with the power of a new victory, not only can he redeem the crime, but he does not need to bear the risk.

Because, although Gao Zhiping's current 10,000 troops cannot defeat the Ming army, if it is to go to reinforcements, then even if the Ming army is powerful, it will not be able to withstand the attack from both sides, if it is not for the main general to be unconscious, then the Ming army can only choose to retreat.

Therefore, Gao Zhiping is sure to go to the north gate now.

When Gao Zhiping led his army to the north gate, he happened to see his uncle from a distance looking at the enemy in the distance and depressed.

Gao Zhiping was secretly happy in his heart, the battle situation between the east and north gates contrasted with each other, the east gate won all, but the north gate returned in vain, and many soldiers were also damaged by the Ming army's firearms. Comparing the two, the judgment is high.

Gao Zhiping was complacent in his heart, but he was quite humble on his face. He rushed to Gao Zhengli and solemnly pleaded guilty: "My nephew is reckless, he disobeyed his uncle's order to go to war without authorization, the crime is unforgivable, please ask my uncle to punish him." ”

Gao Zhengli looked back at Gao Zhiping, and sighed in his heart, this nephew is too young after all. didn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Gao Zhengli knew that what to say about punishing crimes at this time was at most a meritorious service. Even because of the embarrassment on his side, he had to ask for credit for him.

But Gao Zhiping still reprimanded with a straight face: "Today you have made meritorious contributions to the battle at the East Gate, and the disobedience to the military order will be recorded for the time being, after your father returns." It's up to him to deal with. But from now on, if you dare to disobey the military order, you will be severely punished. ”

Gao Zhiping hurriedly nodded in agreement, but muttered in his heart, now that he has face, who would be stupid to provoke the Ming army, he was impulsive this time, and he went out of the city to attack for the sake of face. Fortunately, the heavens took care of it, and the Ming army moved to the north gate. Otherwise, it is a victory now, and it is estimated that it will also be a miserable victory, and if you see that none of the corpses in the north gate are from the Ming army, you will know the consequences.

The uncle and nephew each led the troops back to Tengchong City for repairs.

And Bai Likang, who saved the soldiers of the Duan clan who fled north, did not stop until dawn after half a night of rushing and running.

At this time, there were many of the 3,000 Ming army, but there were only more than 600 people left in the 1,000 Duan army, and the rest didn't know whether they fell behind or deserted.

In view of the current situation, Bailikang then integrated all these more than 600 people into the Ming army, which was also the first Dali army to be integrated into the Ming army.

Bai Likang knew that now that he was in the enemy's sphere of influence, the sky was already dark, and perhaps every citizen he met might report to Tengchong City.

So, Bai Likang weighed again and again, and ordered the whole army to retreat in the direction of Dali Mansion, Bai Likang felt a little angry in his heart, this was also the first time he did not win the battle.

But what Bai Likang didn't expect was that this night's rush had already run north for sixty or seventy miles.

And Dali City is in the northeast of Tengchong City, after this run, Baili Kangbu inadvertently ran to the west of Dali City.

Thus, after a half-day march, the scouts who came out suddenly reported that enemy troops appeared in front.

Bai Likang was shocked when he heard this, he had been on the road overnight until now, and the enemy in Tengchong City did not have a time limit to catch up, how could he run in front of him to block it?

Bai Likang was really a little afraid in his heart at this time, he was not afraid that he would be blocked and fall into danger, he was afraid, there was only one place for the enemy army to come from at this time, that is, on the bank of the Lancang River.

If this is really the case, then Dali City must have fallen, then Xu Shouren .......

Bai Likang didn't dare to think about it anymore, he knew that with Xu Shouren's character, as long as he hadn't retreated, he would definitely spare no effort to defend the way to retreat for himself, but now that the enemy appeared in front of him, Bai Likang had a kind of anger and guilt in his chest that was about to burst out.

Bailikang ordered the scouts to continue reconnaissance, find out the number of enemy equipment, and start pre-battle mobilization.

This is a real encounter, Bai Likang is worried in his heart, guilt Xu Shouren's safety is in danger, he decided to fight to the death, but also to rush to Dali City immediately.

It was in this unexpected situation that the battle began.

When Bai Likang was rewarded by the scouts for the second time, he decisively issued an assault order, and he organized the more than 600 soldiers of the Duan clan who had just been integrated into the combat sequence of the Ming army into a battalion independently, so as to avoid the reduction of combat effectiveness as much as possible.

Bailikang did not ask these more than 600 soldiers to throw grenades at the enemy like the soldiers of the Ming army, but only asked them to rush forward and use their swords to cut the enemy.

And in order to boost their morale, Bai Li Kang arranged them as a reserve at the end of the sequence, Bai Li Kang did not have much hope for them, from the time he saw the six thousand Duan army outside the east gate collapse instantly, Bai Li Kang had lost confidence in the Duan army.

The independent formation of these more than 600 people is just to not let them drag down the Ming army.

When the assault began, Bailikang rushed to the front of the line again, and when his personal guards could not dissuade him, he reluctantly followed the left and right tightly to ensure his safety.

The enemy on the opposite side is naturally none other than Gao Fang from the south gate of Dali City.

He didn't even have time to rescue the wailing wounded soldiers outside the south gate, so he turned directly to swim across the Lancang River and embarked on the road home.

Gao Fang never expected that the enemy did not capture Tengchong City, which had only more than 10,000 defenders, but was defeated by the defenders and fled to Dali Mansion.

At the same time that Bailikang received the scout's reward, Gao Fang also got the scout's reward.

Gao Fang did not hesitate because he was puzzled, and he immediately organized 6,000 crossbowmen to wait for him.

No matter who comes, as long as he dares to enter the front of his formation, let him become a hedgehog. This is Gao Fang's oath in his heart.

Indeed, there are only three or four thousand enemies in front of him, and he has six thousand crossbowmen, so why worry about being defeated. (To be continued......)
