On the main battlefield, the 30,000 regular troops of the Dali court were not greatly affected, after the fighting of the two armies a few days ago, the casualties of the regular army were not too large, and there were at least 20,000 living forces.

Under such circumstances, if more than 2,000 regular troops of the Ming army were used against each other and fought with cold weapons that were already inadequate, it would undoubtedly be suicide.

But Xu Shouren led not a regular army, and half of them had not even been on the battlefield.

Xu Shouren took over the Military Intelligence Bureau at that time, and when recruiting personnel, there was only one criterion, and there was only one specialty.

As long as there is a specialty, regardless of men and women, old and weak, they are allowed to be recruited, of course, among the hidden personnel who were sent to Dali this time, there can be no women.

In fact, Xu Shouren's request is, to put it bluntly, to recruit ruffians and hooligans, but this statement is a little ugly.

This is also the reason why Baili Wuji believes that Xu Shouren is more suitable than Xu Shiming to command the Military Intelligence Bureau.

In this world, there are many things that are not capable of being done by a righteous man and a gentleman, but someone has to do it.

It's not that Baili Wuji or Xu Shouren want to rely on these "scum", but to gather a group of "scum" to do some good deeds, which can not only make them the best use of their resources, but also reduce the harm suffered by the good people, which is a matter of killing one stone.

Xu Shouren did not order the more than 2,000 people to fight like a regular army, but ordered them to take dozens of people as a team and play freely, with only one goal, to cross the river.

As a result, the people of Dali on the west bank of the Lancang River suffered a great calamity.

Almost all of the people's homes were looted.

These people are searching for timber to cross the river, but in fact. Along with wood, everything.

Because he was wearing the uniform of the Gao Army, the people of Dali naturally counted this account on Gao Fang's head.

Poor Gao Fang is in an inexplicable situation. has lost the hearts of the people, which he could never have imagined.

The only ones who did not suffer in this looting were the women of the good family, which Xu Shouren had imposed before the war.

Xu Shouren knew that Baili Wuji hated this matter the most, so he naturally didn't dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi.

By the time more than 2,000 people actually began to cross the river, tens of thousands of refugees had already flocked to Tengchong Province on the west bank of the Lancang River.

When Gao Fang noticed it, it was already a boat, and he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. Only pray that these Ming people who ransacked the people can really cross the river.

At the beginning of the river crossing operation, Xu Shouren was not on the scene to command, and he received a secret report. There was a border rebellion in the eastern part of Dali, and the mayor of Yanzhong Town, Zongqi, and the leader of Qiuzhou made rabbits on behalf of Lianlian, and captured Mi Nai and other three towns.

Xu Shouren hurriedly contacted Bailikang to seek a way to deal with it.

Because if the battle across the river is successful. The situation on the battlefield will be reversed. The Gao clan will occupy the strategic initiative from now on, and the strength of the two sides, which could have been balanced, is likely to be pinned down because the Duan clan suffered from the border turmoil and was pinned down.

Allowing the Gao army to dominate was not in the interests of the Ming Kingdom, and it was bound to affect the plans formulated.

After Xu Shouren consulted with Bailikang, he made a "cruel" plan.

On the main battlefield of the Lancang River on the line from Tengchong Mansion to Dali Mansion, more than 2,000 people of Xu Shouren were organizing the crossing of the river.

Behind them were 10,000 regular troops who supported the high side.

As the second echelon, they are ready to enter the battlefield after more than 2,000 Ming people cross the river.

More than 2,000 Ming people ransacked the people along the coast in one day. Tens of thousands of refugees have been created, but they have also done something practical.

After the start of the battle. Sampans of various sizes, and even tools for crossing the river made of door panels, appeared on the surface of the river leading to the opposite bank, and on them were scattered soldiers.

Strangely, on every tool for crossing the river, there is a bunch of things that I don't know what to do with the tarpaulin.

Hundreds of simple tools for crossing the river are like live targets for the imperial army on the east bank, as long as they dare to approach, then after a round of bows and crossbows, even if they have the life to rush to the shore, they will be wiped out under the full force of the imperial army.

But Duan Sicong didn't see it that way, he felt that this was a good opportunity, an opportunity to break through the West Bank.

If, in the process of the rebels crossing the river, the imperial army crossed the river to meet the attack, then the crossbowmen of the west bank defense threw their rat traps, afraid of shooting their own people and did not dare to fire arrows, so that the imperial army could defeat its advance in the river and attack the west bank.

In this way, as long as a breakthrough is found on the main battlefield, then the rebel army will naturally scatter if it enters Tengchong Mansion, the nest of the rebels.

Duan Sicong quickly summoned the surrounding imperial army and ordered the emperor's brother, Dutong, and Buxie Duan Zibiao to lead 10,000 regular troops to meet the attacking enemy.

After receiving the order, Duan Zibiao led the army to rush towards the enemy in the river on the wooden boat that had been prepared for crossing the river.

For a time, the surface of the Lancang River was full of wooden boat sampans.

Duan Zibiao is a battle-hardened general, but he is not familiar with water warfare.

What's more, in this era, water warfare also only stopped at soldiers shooting arrows at each other on ships.

This is not very demanding for a general.

The wooden boats on which the imperial army of Duan Zibiao rode were full of soldiers.

This fell into the hands of the Ming people.

All they wanted was to bring the imperial army to meet them, and none of these ruffians wanted to die, but the order to attack had been given, and they would naturally choose the most suitable method to save their lives.

Their tools for crossing the river were not loaded with anything strange and strange, but gunpowder that had been transported from the Ming Kingdom and hoarded all over Dali.

In the plan, if the imperial army watched coldly and did not come to meet the enemy, the soldiers who controlled the means of crossing the river would also stop advancing and return to the west bank when they came within range of the imperial army's bow and crossbow.

These people do not have the self-esteem of a soldier, they are not afraid of being ridiculed, and in their hearts, life is far more important than dignity.

After returning, they can still repeat the attack again until the imperial army on the other side comes to meet the enemy.

They were not afraid of delaying the fighters, because Xu Shouren gave them enough time, a full three days.

That's what the rumors spread by Berry are talking about for three days.

And if the imperial army came to meet them, they would jump into the Lancang River and return from the bottom to the west bank before encountering the enemy.

This is also the reason why there are few and sporadic people on each river crossing tool, too many people affect the escape, and there are relatively few water-based people.

When the two armies were about to collide head-on, Akito decisively jumped into the water and swam to the west bank.

The jump was so decisive, and the swim was so resolute, as if the charge was in the wrong direction.

This caused the court army led by Duan Zibiao to burst into laughter, and there was nothing like this that could make the soldiers happy, watching the enemy who should have fought bloody battles with their heads scurrying, which made the morale of the court army suddenly rise.

Even Duan Sicong, who was supervising the battle on the east coast, couldn't help but show a long-lost smile.

But in the time of the half-pillar incense, the shape of the river changed suddenly. (To be continued......)
