As soon as they approached, a dense rain of arrows came out all around, which caught them off guard, there was an ambush in front, and there were chasing soldiers in the back, and the vanguard army could not retreat, nor could they rush, so they had to grit their teeth and fight, but in the process of charging, they kept falling into the traps and roadblocks dug by the enemy.

As soon as he saw his face, he lost his troops and lost his generals.

The fighting continued into the evening and was not over.

When the battle situation was out of the way, Qi Yanhuai led his troops to pursue, and the two sides attacked back and forth, and the South Vietnamese army suffered from the enemy on their backs, and soon lost their armor and fled in all directions.

Qi Yanhuai and Qi Zaiyuan, who didn't care about enjoying the fruits of victory, rushed to Dali with the whole army, and the other continued to pursue the enemy, preparing to make a detour to Yun China.

……

Piroye continued to send men to attack the city, and the defenders fought bloodily for a day, and no one noticed that an arrow wrapped in strips of cloth, densely covered with a rain of arrows, was nailed to the feet of a cloud Chinese soldier, who drew a long arrow and, under the cover of other soldiers, quickly retreated and left the battlefield.

When night fell, Yun China dispersed his troops, leaving a mountain of corpses at the city gate.

In the big tent, Piroye is discussing with his subordinates the next siege strategy.

Piroye's eldest son, Garo, said: "Father, we have placed in the city to make a reward, rumors are spreading in the city, yesterday afternoon, some wealthy families in the city, together with the local respected villagers, and some generals in the army, are violent, and find the eldest princess together. ”

"The eldest princess took them to the council hall, and the group didn't know what they said, only that after the deliberations were over, the wealthy clans, village elders and generals in the city were angry one by one, obviously very dissatisfied with the eldest princess, and then saw with their own eyes that a headless corpse was dragged out of the council hall."

The subordinates looked at each other and smiled, and they could probably guess what was going on in the council chamber.

Jia Luoyi continued: "After careful investigation, I learned that many people in the city were dissatisfied with the eldest princess because of the rumors, and wanted to ask the eldest princess to give an explanation, but the Qi family army never arrived, and the eldest princess could not explain, so she actually caught an ordinary person who had spread rumors, killed chickens and monkeys in front of everyone, and bluffed a group of people. ”

Piroye narrowed his eyes: "The eldest princess is young, but she is decisive, which is really admirable, but the eldest princess has been powerful and blessed in the Southern Dynasty for a long time, but she forgot that the southwest is not under the rule of the Southern Dynasty, and the majesty of the eldest princess of a country can be greatly discounted in the southwest." ”

"Although she frightened the nobles, village elders and generals in the city, she didn't know that what those nobles were afraid of was not her, the eldest princess, but still had hope for the Qi family's army, thinking that as long as the eldest princess was still in Dali City, the Qi family's army would definitely come."

The Southern Barbarians attach great importance to racial blood, and the eldest princess is a noble status, but she is just a foreigner, a foreigner, how can she be convincing when she points fingers in Dali City?

Therefore, he ordered people to spread rumors in the city, and sure enough, some nobles in the city knew the harm of rumors, but they did not come forward to stop them, which led to the rumors becoming more and more intense, and the best opportunity to curb the rumors was missed.

Jia Luo said: "Father, it is really a clever plan, we are attacking the city every day, the people in the city are impetuous, at this time, as long as some rumors are released, the people in the city hate the eldest princess, the nobles are dissatisfied with the eldest princess, the defenders of the city are suspicious of the eldest princess, once the people's hearts are estranged, it is impossible to defend the city together." ”

A subordinate said with a smile: "We feinted to exert pressure, the defenders held on for five days, lost a lot of people, today to attack the city, the soldiers obviously feel that the resistance to defending the city is much smaller than before, and it can't support it for two days, and the time has come for us to attack the city." ”

"King, please give an order, the last general, etc., will be determined for the king to charge into battle, smear his liver and brains, and help the king complete the great cause."

"Yes, King, give the order quickly!"

"Give the order!"

"Don't be in a hurry," Piroye laughed, unhurriedly, "Dali City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although the defenders are not good, but they occupy the advantage of defending the city, and the materials are also quite rich. ”

Some of his subordinates were unimpressed.

Piroye didn't sell Guanzi either, and said directly: "I just got the news that the Qi family army is in the area of Yueyanling, fighting with the main force of the South Yue Kingdom, and I want to come to the south to conquer the general and not rush to the aid of Dali City so quickly, we can wait until the city is completely chaotic." ”

Garoyi hurriedly asked, "What should I do next?" ”

Piroye showed an expression of victory: "Let the news of Lingnan out, let everyone in the city know that the Qi family army is at war with the main force of the South Vietnamese State, and the battle situation is stalemate, and it is impossible to rush to the aid of Dali City in a short time." ”

"The city defense of the defenders is becoming more and more difficult, if they know that the reinforcements will not come, the morale of the army will be weakened, and the people in the city will also think that the rumors have been confirmed, and if they provoke a little, they will definitely hate the eldest princess, what will they do, who knows?"

"The more chaotic Dali City is, the better it is for us."

“……”

The news that the Qi family army would not come spread all over Dali City that night, and the people suddenly heard the bad news and broke down and cried.

The soldiers defending the city, listening to the desperate cries in the city, knew that there were their parents, women, and children among them, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in their hearts.

Looking at the dark and oppressive cloud Chinese army under the night, thinking about the brothers who had been killed and injured these days, they all collapsed a little.

The eldest princess has been lying to them, saying that if they keep it for five days, the Qi family's army will come.

They held desperately for five days, but the Qi family army did not come.

Tomorrow will be the sixth day, and the Qi family army will not come at all.

Piroye had an army of 100,000 men, and they couldn't hold it at all.

The rumors are all true, the eldest princess deliberately provoked them to defend the city and send them to death, just so that they could block Piroye, so that Piroye would not unify the southwest and wave his troops south.

The next day, Piroye did not attack the city.

He arrested a lot, and before there was no martial law in Dali City, the people who fled when they heard the wind were tortured and slaughtered under the city tower.

Most of the people who were arrested were well-informed, and knew that Dali City was going to fight, so they fled the city in advance, and many of them were relatives of the defenders of the city, and they were covered in blood one by one, and they had already been tortured into human form.

The Chinese soldiers waved the long whips in their hands and kept whipping them, screaming one after another: "Ahh Save me! I don't want to die! ”

"Please, don't fight, save me!"

"Don't hit ......"

At that moment, there were many defenders of the city, and they collapsed on the spot.

A general of Yun China laughed: "Dali City can't be defended at all, why do you have to hold on?" Don't you hate watching your loved ones being whipped and tortured to death? Those who knew each other surrendered obediently, and the king said that after entering the city, he would not slaughter the people......"
