In order to strengthen the offensive, Li Liangxing, deputy marshal of Annan, arranged 30,000 horses on the left and right flanks, and released 90,000 horses in the middle as the main force of the main attack.

Due to Li Liangxing's earnestness for meritorious service, he personally led the main force of the middle road to march forward, and all the enemies encountered along the way were immediately crushed and fled in despair. However, the men and horses on both wings were resisted by the strong army of Dali, and their progress was slow. The distance between the three armies, which was less than a hundred miles apart, was getting farther and farther apart. Seven days later, the distance between the middle army and the two wings had reached more than five hundred miles.

The lone army of the Middle Route Army went deeper, so that the three armies that could support each other turned into de facto fighting on their own......

The above situation was personally dispatched by the empress dowager of Dali. This queen daughter is a strange woman, because she was born on the Qiqiao Festival, she was named Duan Qiaoqiao. Although she is only seventeen years old, she is much stronger than her three royal brothers who only know how to compete for power and profit and engage in internal friction.

Two of the three had already died in the infighting, and the remaining one had been executed for mutilating his siblings and attempting to murder his father and usurp the throne. In this way, she was the only child of the Dali Emperor, so her father appointed her as the prince.

She has been the prince for less than a year, and it is the autumn of life and death in Dali. Seeing that the enemy troops from all walks of life have passed through the pass, it will not be long before the troops will come to the city and join the army in Kyoto.

On this day, Emperor Dali met Qi Wenwu and was discussing the strategy of defending against the enemy, and the eunuch sent information from the front-line generals: "For some reason, Li Liangwu, the marshal of Annan, returned home with 200,000 troops, and only the deputy marshal Li Liangxing with 150,000 troops was still marching towards our Dali country. ”

On this day, Duan Qiaoqiao participated in the court meeting as a prince, and when he heard the information, he immediately reacted: "Father, most of the reinforcements of the Great Song Dynasty adopted the strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao, and attacked the city of wrestling. If that's the case, our chance to fight back has arrived. ”

"Father can order that all the men and horses stationed in the northern states and counties should be withdrawn to the southern part of Dali City to gather and stand by, looking for opportunities to deal a heavy blow to the enemy and boost morale."

Two months later, Duan Qiaoqiao asked for orders and went to the front line to command the troops. He led the men and horses gathered in various places and near the capital to the front line, and carried out the above arrangements.

Now, Duan Qiaoqiao also has 180,000 horses in his hands, which is more than Annan. But in terms of combat strength, it was weaker, so Duan Qiaoqiao did not dare to transfer troops to encircle and annihilate the enemy's middle route army.

She chose to use 100,000 horses to fight the right route army, 60,000 horses to drag the middle route army, and 20,000 horses to drag the left route army.

Duan Qiaoqiao's strategy and tactics were used very successfully. Soon, the 30,000 Annam army on the right was besieged in a mountainous area by a 100,000-strong army. After a day and a night of fierce fighting, they finally surrounded and annihilated all the Right Route Army of Annan, but they themselves paid the price of nearly 30,000 people.

To have a mind to calculate the unintentional, to be prepared to fight unprepared. The battle loss rate is almost one to one, which shows that the battle of the Dali army is too weak.

Duan Qiaoqiao's arrangement was originally a good move, but it was due to the disparity in the quality of the armies of the two sides that it accelerated the demise of the Dali Kingdom.

The Annan Middle Route Army advanced desperately and soon reached the vicinity of Dali City. Duan Qiaoqiao also expected this possibility in advance, so he told Gao Zhengming, the general responsible for blocking the middle route army, in advance, that he could not withstand the real pressure, so he withdrew to the area of Nanguan, the last barrier of Dali, and waited for reinforcements.

The Nanguan defense line is thirty miles away from Dali City, and the total length is seventy miles, as long as you hold Nanguan, you can wait for Duan Qiaoqiao's reinforcements. However, the generals at a pass in the western sector could not withstand the enemy's daily provocations and insults, and after several days of suffering, they ignored the obstruction of their generals and switched to engage in battle.

The elite soldiers of Annam, who had long been ambushed in the dense forests on both sides of the pass, surrounded them from all sides, some of them grabbed the pass, and some of them besieged the enemy troops who came out of the pass.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, an Annan army of more than 20,000 people all broke through to the West Pass and launched an attack on the Dali army at the pass from the back.

Two hours later, the defenders of Nanguan, who had suffered from the enemy on their backs, collapsed on all fronts, leaving only more than 10,000 remnants to retreat to Dali City.

That night, the Annan army launched a siege on Dali City on all sides, although the soldiers and civilians of the city hated the same enemy, desperately resisted. The disparity in strength between the scoundrels and the enemy was too great, and at dawn, the city of Dali was broken. The Duan clan of Dali was slaughtered......

When the city was broken, Duan Qiaoqiao's army was still desperately rushing six hundred miles away. On the second day of the destruction of Dali, the left army of Annam had completely annihilated the enemy army that had blocked it, and came to join the army of the middle route.

After the two route armies converged, in addition to the battle losses, the Annan army still had more than 100,000 people. And Li Liangxing estimated that after Duan Qiaoqiao's main force in Dali passed a hard confrontation with the right army, it should be less than 80,000 people.

Therefore, after he let the troops rest for a day, only 10,000 people remained in Dali City. With 90,000 main forces, he set up an ambush in a narrow valley called Wasp Valley in the southeast of Dali, preparing to wipe out Duan Qiaoqiao's army, so that Dali will no longer have a decent resistance force.

This wasp valley is the only way to Dali in the southeast. The valley is more than 20 miles long and varies from 300 meters to 1,000 meters wide, with an avenue in the middle, and a tributary of the Red River flows through the avenue to the east.

Duan Qiaoqiao and the others entered Wasp Valley at about ten o'clock that day. Due to the fact that it rained a little in the morning, now the rain has stopped though. But the valley was full of white fog, and it was impossible to see the scenery from a hundred paces. If it weren't for the military emergency, she wouldn't have let the army venture through the narrow valley, which was a taboo for soldiers.

"I hope that the enemy army is fighting fiercely with the defenders in Nanguan and has no time to take care of it." She secretly blessed herself in her heart.

After several days of rapid marching, the 70,000 horses were exhausted, and entered the narrow valley in the mist, as if entering the bloody mouth of a giant monster......

Duan Qiaoqiao rode in the middle of the army, and had just reached a third of the narrow valley, when suddenly there was a sound of bowstrings in the fog on both sides. Suddenly, arrows flew towards them like locusts, constantly harvesting the lives of Dali soldiers.

The maids and guards on the left and right hurriedly raised their shields to cover her body.

"Hurry up, princess, get off the horse, the goal is too big on the horse." Said one of the generals.

Duan Qiaoqiao dismounted and immediately ordered: "The army broke through to the two ends of the narrow valley respectively, and ran as much as they could." ”

As the fog gradually lifted, the Annan army surrounded them from all sides and launched a brutal encirclement and suppression, and hundreds of lives were disappearing every second.

There are fewer and fewer people around Duan Qiaoqiao, from the tens of thousands of people who broke through at the beginning, there are only more than 1,000 people left, and most of them are injured. However, there were more and more enemy troops surrounding him, and Duan Qiaoqiao lamented: "It seems that our 70,000 soldiers are going to be wiped out today." ”

She dismounted, untied the reins, and said to her beloved mount, "Piaopiao, we are about to say goodbye, let's escape by ourselves." After speaking, she patted the white horse that had accompanied her for three years, Piaopiao, three times, and signaled it to flee for its life.

The white horse ran around and returned to her, and she looked around at the soldiers who were still guarding her with swords and guns, and they couldn't bear to abandon her, just like this loyal horse.

She no longer drove Piao away, re-tied the reins, and sat down. There were 100 female cavalry and 200 male cavalry around her.

The two male cavalry soldiers, including the captain and deputy captain, had all been killed in battle, and only more than 50 female cavalry soldiers were left around her.

She stepped on her horse, looked at the female soldiers, and said, "Sisters, the last hour has come. Let's make one last charge and kill a few more enemies for our comrades who died first. Remember, if you don't die when you fall to the ground, bite the wax pill in your mouth and swallow the poison in your stomach, so that you will soon go underground to see our relatives, and would rather die than be taken prisoner and humiliated. Do you remember that? ”

"Remember, princess."

"Good! Pick up your weapons and charge me. ”

This group of heroines who regarded death as if they were at home were about to rush to the front to fight to the death with the enemy, when suddenly, in the direction of the narrow valley, countless crackling sounds sounded, like the sound of firecrackers bought from the Central Plains, but this sound was louder and more crisp than firecrackers.

In the crisp sound of firecrackers, the Annan soldiers blocking the direction of the valley kept falling to the ground. Immediately, the Annan soldiers fled in all directions, shouting as they ran: "The Song people are here, they can use witchcraft, and they can take people's lives a hundred steps away." ”

Duan Qiaoqiao rode on a horse and could see clearly, the savior was coming, they were saved......
