The 3,000 Ming army paid only a small number of casualties, and landed along the land to join Duan's army.

After a short discussion between the two armies.

As a result, with the 3,000 Ming army as the tip of the sword, the counterattack posture of the Duan army guarding the left and right flanks was established.

The soldiers of the Ming army opened the way with grenades, and those who stood in the way were all crushed, and later, as soon as the soldiers of the "farmer" army saw that the Ming soldiers were coming towards them, they quickly retreated.

In this way, the Ming army was like entering a no-man's land, and in the blink of an eye, it had already advanced several miles.

When the Ming army launched the charge, Gao Zhiping had not yet taken control of the chaotic army, which announced that he had no time to clean up the army, and if he did not escape, he would most likely become a prisoner of the Ming army.

Obviously, Gao Zhiping does not have the ability to control the army, but he is quite good at self-preservation.

When he found that the situation was out of control, Gao Zhiping wisely complied with his father's advice, discarded the 30,000 "farmer" army, and retreated to Tengchong Mansion to the west with 6,000 crossbowmen.

Since then, the 3,000 Ming army has actually not been fighting, but capturing prisoners.

30,000 "farmer" troops, even if they are 30,000 pigs, let the Ming soldiers catch them, then they have to be caught for half a day.

Gao Zhiping's retreat was very smooth.

But the West Bank officially fell into the hands of the Ming army and the Duan army.

The generals of Bailikang and Duan's army on the east bank breathed a sigh of relief, and the generals of Duan's army began to tout Bailikang's command skills and ability to adapt to emergencies.

But Bai Likang began to worry, because the main force of the Gao army was gone.

Except for this "farmer" army and those archers and crossbow armies who saw only arrows but no human figures, the rest of the Gao army was gone.

Where will they go? Brilikang carefully filtered every detail on the battlefield.

And at this time. The messengers who parried from the other side reported that, according to the confessions of the captives, the two Gao rebels crossed the river and marched eastward from the upper and lower reaches respectively. The target is likely to be Dali Mansion.

This news made the generals of the Duan army anxious again, and losing Dali Mansion would be equivalent to losing a prosperous life.

The most important thing is that there is a family and decades of savings there.

Bai Likang also thought that the enemy's target would be Dali Mansion at first, but looking at the reactions of these generals, he always felt that something was wrong.

Although Dali Mansion is the capital of Dali, its strategic significance is far from as imagined.

Even if the rebels occupied Dali Mansion, the three military towns of Huichuan, Shanxian and Weichu to the east of Dali Mansion were located. If three sharp swords tightly surround Dali Mansion, unless the rebels can capture at least two of these three mansions in one fell swoop, they can revitalize the entire battle situation.

Otherwise. The benefits of occupying Dali are limited to symbolism.

Bai Likang didn t think that Gao Fang would be a military idiot, a person who could lead troops to fight and make contributions under Duan Siping for so many years, if anyone took him a fool, then. Whoever is himself is the biggest fool.

Naturally, Bailikang is not stupid.

Xu Shiming led the crowd to leave in the northwest direction. There are hundreds of Ming troops led by Xu Shouren in Dali Mansion, and he has sent thousands of soldiers back to Dali Mansion yesterday to wait for Xu Shouren to dispatch, Bai Likang believes that unless the rebels have tens of thousands of troops attacking the city, with Xu Shouren's ability, there should be no problem in holding on.

Even if the rebels broke through tens of thousands of soldiers from the upper and lower reaches, Bailikang was not worried.

Because there are more than 100,000 people in the city of Dali, it should not be a big problem to choose 20,000 or 30,000 young people to help defend the city. Because Xu Shouren has already transferred the arms and materials hoarded in the state capitals of Dali to Dali Mansion these days, even if the situation really develops in the worst direction. Bailikang also has reason to believe that there is no problem for Xu Shouren to support for a few days.

Thinking of this, Bai Likang felt that there was a cheerful scene in front of him, since he had no worries, why should he be confused by the maze of the enemy's main general?

Although his task is to delay and prevent the main force of the rebels from attacking Dali Mansion.

But if you dance with the rebels, you are too passive.

The strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao has been familiar to Bailikang since he was a child.

Therefore, Bailikang immediately ordered all the troops crossing the river to move westward at full speed, aiming at Tengchong Province.

This order made the generals of the Duan clan army stunned and confused.

But with the battlefield performance of the 3,000 Ming troops just now, and the momentum of Bailikang's command, the generals could only bury their dissatisfaction and suspicion in their hearts, and turned their heads to give the troops the departure order.

As a result, the 20,000 troops on the east bank began to cross the river, while the Ming army and the Duan army on the other bank began to hand over the prisoners, and after quickly regrouping, they marched to Tengchong Mansion.

This is a typical "you fight yours, I fight mine" guerrilla strategy.

Where you smote me, I will smite you where I will save.

Dali Mansion is the capital of the Duan regime, and Tengchong Mansion is not the old nest of Gao Fang?

Bai Li Kang is gambling, he bets that Dali Mansion under the command of Xu Shouren, the time to hold on will be greater than the time that Tengchong Mansion insisted, as long as Tengchong Mansion is captured first, then the rebels will be divided, one of the components of the rebel army - the chiefs of each tribe will consider whether their tribe can resist the loss of residence after the war.

Because if the rebels are defeated, then the participating tribes will inevitably be severely punished by the Duan clan and the Ming army, and this punishment is likely to make the tribe disappear forever.

This is the unspoken rule of warfare in this era.

Therefore, Bai Likang clearly knew that what he had to do was to advance to the city of Tengchong Mansion as quickly as possible, and capture Tengchong Mansion as quickly as possible, so that the rebels would fall into a situation where the back road would be cut off.

The distance from the Lancang River to Tengchong and to Dali is almost the same.

It depends on who arrives first and who succeeds in the siege first.

……。

Under the battlefield, the high side of the game naturally did not know that the coping strategy made by Bailikang was so ruthless.

Gao Fang originally wanted to use Gao Zhiping to block the Duan army and the Ming army attacking from the west in the front.

Then let the soldiers of the two towns occupy Lanxi County, cross the river and go north, so as to form a flanking attack on Dali Mansion.

Moreover, Gao Fang has two options, one is that if Gao Zhiping can withstand the Duan army and the Ming army, then Gao Fang will lead a large army to directly attack the Duan army on the east bank of the Lancang River with Gao Zhiping; Second, if Gao Zhiping can't stand it, then Gao Fang explained before setting off, so that Gao Zhiping doesn't have to care about the life or death of the "farmer" army, and directly leads 6,000 crossbowmen to withdraw to Tengchong Mansion, and Gao Fang will lead the army to Dali Mansion in the northeast and attack Dali Mansion with the government soldiers of the two towns.

Gao Fang's strategic thinking is not wrong, it can be said to be correct.

Because not only did he consider the worst of things, but Gao Fang didn't expect that his opponent Bai Likang was not a pure general, but only half a general, and the other half of him was a literati.

is still a literati with a romantic color, such literati ideas are wild, and often play cards out of common sense, for such people, the art of war, that is a fart. (To be continued......)
