Chapter 82

Baili Wuji still didn't go to the expedition as he wished after all, and after arranging these, what he needed to be busy was to take a concubine.

According to the itinerary, Duan Sicong will arrive at Jinling Mansion in seven days, and the ceremony of Baili Wuji's canonization of him as the king of Dali is arranged before Baili Wuji accepts his daughter Duan Foyin as a concubine.

This is the order deliberately arranged by Baili Wuji, this is an edict to the world, the Ming State's political attitude towards Dali will not change because of the imperial concubine's surname Duan, and at the same time, it is also announced to the tribes of Dali that Duan's ruling power is legitimate and recognized by the Ming court.

canonized first and then accepted the concubine, because before the canonization, Duan Sicong was the emperor of Dali, so Baili Wuji will accept the princess of Dali; After being canonized, Duan Sicong has become the king of Dali in the Ming domain, and he is a Ming courtier under the emperor, so it is not a princess who is not a princess, but also the daughter of a courtier.

And Baili Wuji didn't realize that Bailikang, who had always been inconspicuous, once again exerted his excellent command ability, defeated 30,000 Gao rebels with 3,000 people, and once again created his brilliant record, which was not inferior to his own defeat of the original Ma Chu Jingjiang army in Xiangxiang-Liling.

And Bailikang's command style is to exchange blood for blood, life for life, and every time Bailikang leads his troops to fight, it can be said that it is described as a river of blood.

Bailikang is good at showing weakness, exchanging space for life, confusing and exhausting opponents with blood, and then concentrating on local absolute superiority, giving the opponent a ruthless blow.

Often, after a blow from Brilikang, his opponent is not annihilated. There is no longer a will to fight, which makes it possible and true that thousands of people have captured tens of thousands of people.

Before Bai Likang led his troops to the Lancang River, he had already obtained the control of the Duan imperial army.

In fact, Bailikang originally only needed the Duan army to make a feint. Cover for yourself on both sides of the Lancang River.

However, Bailikang understands that Baili Wuji, when the Ming Kingdom is about to complete the great cause of reunification, does not want huge losses, especially personnel losses.

Therefore, Bai Likang handed over the task that he originally planned to let the 3,000 Ming army carry out to the 30,000 Duan army.

This resulted in the almost total annihilation of the Duan army.

The Duan army was completely incomparable with the Ming army in terms of armament, morale and will to fight.

The Ming army from its predecessor, the Black Flag Guard. Baili Wuji deliberately planted the seeds of "soul" in the hearts of soldiers, and this kind of soul is stronger when it is stronger. See the blood and go crazy.

Therefore, Bailikang was able to capture tens of thousands of Jingjiang troops with thousands of people.

Otherwise, the Black Flag Guard soldiers who can exhaust the 30,000 Jingjiang troops with their lives can be replaced by other armies. For example, the Duan army in front of him. Maybe it collapsed before the war began.

A good army can fight a good battle even if the commander commands indiscriminately.

It's like a good band, even if it's conducted by an ordinary person who doesn't know anything about music, it can still play perfectly.

And a good army does not depend on equipment, nor on food, although these are two important aspects, and what really depends is its spiritual strength.

Even if you lose, you have to hurt your opponent, even if you die. Also tear off a piece of flesh from the opponent's spirit.

The so-called horizontal ones are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of dying. This sentence is not rough, when an army is really polite and gentlemanly, it will not be far from overthrow.

The military is a special creature, and it is said that it is a killing machine, although it is a little ugly, but if you can't do this, you are not a qualified army, let alone an excellent army.

But the soldiers of the Duan army were far from reaching this kind of process.

This is where the mistakes of Brilicom come from.

Two days later, when Bai Likang led 3,000 soldiers to the battlefield on the east bank of the Lancang River, the upper defense line of Duan's army had been broken through in several places, and the defense line was precarious.

Bailikang did not disperse the 3,000 soldiers as firefighters to fill in the loopholes that had been breached.

Instead, these 3,000 soldiers were gathered together to launch an all-out counterattack on the main battlefield in the middle of the Lancang River.

The 3,000 Ming army was like a sharp knife straight into the river beach on the east bank, and counter-charged the Gao army that had already landed with all its might.

Since Gao's army attacked on all fronts, no matter from which point it was intercepted, it would not be able to resist the enemy's attack.

Dispersing the 3,000 Ming army can only give the enemy a chance to break through.

Instead of this, it is better to concentrate forces and drive the soldiers of the Gao army, who have landed on the river beach head-on, down the river.

You fight yours, I fight mine, you attack my whole line, I counterattack you will save one point, this is your main force, as long as you hurt your main force, even if your stragglers bravely break through the Lancang River defense line and enter the depth of the Duan army, they will not be able to do anything.

Bailikang's idea is very correct, with 3,000 reinforcements, he will not be able to save the defense of the east coast in any case.

Only by striking at the enemy's main force, hurting it, and repelling it can we win some respite for the Duan army on the east bank, and at the same time delay as much as possible to create time for the Ming army to come to the aid.

The 3,000 Ming army rushed to the enemy on the river beach like a hungry tiger.

It is conceivable that these "peasant soldiers" who have just washed their mud legs can still make up for the Duan army with more blows and fewer blows, but under the thunderous blows of the Ming soldiers, they only supported for half an hour before they collapsed.

Nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Gao Army, who had already landed, were driven down the Lancang River by the 3,000 Ming army in only half an hour, but the corpses left on the river beach only increased by more than 1,000.

Too many Gao soldiers chose to jump off the Lancang River and swim back to the west bank.

As a result, the east coast was provided with many swimming tools, which added material support to Bailikang's plan.

Bai Likang knew that in the last battle of the Lancang River, Xu Shouren's soldiers of the Military Intelligence Institute had used explosives on a large scale, inflicting a devastating blow on Duan's army.

So if you want to repeat the old trick this time, it is unlikely to be realized, as a bystander, Gao Fang is very aware of the power of firearms, and must have deliberately guarded against the firearms of the Ming army.

The natural enemy of gunpowder is water, and the only thing that is not lacking in the Lancang River is water.

The use of explosives needs to be embedded or preset, and Berry does not have that much time to bury them, and the opponent will not give him enough time.

As a result, Bailikang was unable to effectively use firearms on the river.

In order to play to the strengths and avoid the weaknesses and give full play to the power of the Ming army's firearms, Bailikang decided to fight back.

With these swimming equipment left behind by the Gao army's retreat, Bailikang has reason to believe that with the full counterattack of more than 30,000 people of the Duan army, he will be able to open up a passage for his 3,000 Ming army to cross the river.

Bailikang's original task was to reinforce the Duan army on the east bank and defend the Lancang River, if the defense could not be achieved, the enemy's main force would be delayed as much as possible to cross the river, so that the enemy would delay the time to launch a general attack on Dali Mansion.
