Dao Lan was greatly moved, and couldn't help but throw herself into Ailang's arms, only to feel that the lover was like this, what more could a woman ask for! Feeling the warmth of Ailang's arms, I just hope that it can be like this forever.
Mo Haotian said puzzledly: "I heard that the Ming army is extremely brave and invincible in the world, how could it take the initiative to abandon Dali City and flee in a hurry this time?" ”
Dao Lan raised his head from Ailang's arms and said angrily: "What is invincible in the world!" I think that's an exaggeration! Facing the pressure of the enemy's army, it is not panicked and only thinking about running for his life! Mo Haotian smiled: "Maybe the enemy is strong." Dao Lan frowned and nodded, "yes!" Alas, I heard that the Tianzhu people came with an army of nearly 600,000 troops, and Bagan poured all the strength of the whole country, led by King Pu Lipeng himself to take revenge! There are also more than 100,000 rebels of Duan Zhichun, the enemy army is too powerful, and it is reasonable that it is difficult to resist with the current Ming army. Then he became worried, looked at Ailang, and said: "Brother Tian, you still have to stay in Dali, but I am afraid that Dali will soon become a place of contention between multiple parties, and I am afraid that it will endanger your safety!" You'd better come with me! ”
Mo Haotian smiled and said, "Lan'er don't worry, I know it in my heart." If it's really dangerous, I'll get out of here immediately. Then he frowned and asked, "Lan'er, do you think the retreat of the Ming Army this time will be fake?" I heard that the Ming army often used similar means to calculate the enemy! ”
Dao Lan frowned and shook her head, "Probably not!" If it was fake, I should have heard some rumors, but it didn't. In addition, under the current situation, does the Ming army dare to play any tricks? They just want to play tricks, but they can't help it! More than 100,000 enemy troops surrounded from three directions, and the Ming army had no room to use its means at all! Mo Haotian felt that what Dao Lan said made sense, and couldn't help but nodded.
At this moment, a butler rushed into the hall and bowed to Daolan; "Madame, it's all ready. Just wait for the lady to arrive, and then you can go. Dao Lan said to Mo Haotian: "Brother Tian, are you really not going with me?" Mo Haotian sighed, "I can't help it!" Lan'er, you go first, I'll be looking for you soon! Dao Lan was reluctant, and said affectionately: "Brother Tian, I'm waiting for you in Bianliang!" Mo Haotian nodded.
Surrounded by servants and maidservants, Daolan left the hall and went out of the gate, where two hundred or so people were waiting for her, along with dozens of carriages and oxen carts full of gold, silver, jewelry, silk and silk. When everyone saw Dao Lan come out, they bowed together: "Madam! ”
Dao Lan boarded the most gorgeous carriage with the support of the maidservant, lifted the curtains, and waved goodbye to Mo Haotian who was standing not far away. The procession set off and slowly marched towards the south gate.
Mo Haotian saw that Dao Lan's group was getting farther and farther away, so he left here and returned to his secret foothold in the city. As soon as I came back, I saw two cronies waiting. When the two saw Mo Haotian coming back, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and then the tall cronie said happily: "Childe, those people have been persuaded by us and are willing to join us!" ”
Mo Haotian was overjoyed and said, "Very good!" With them, we have our own power in Dali!
The short man clenched his fists and said, "They want to meet Childe." Mo Haotian smiled: "Since you have become my subordinate, you naturally want to see it." Then he said to the short man, "Go and arrange it." The short man clenched his fists in promise. The tall man asked, "Childe, the army of the Tianzhu people and the Bagan people is already approaching Dali, should we go to meet their leader?" ”
Mo Haotian waved his hand and said, "It's not time yet." We don't have anything to talk about when we meet them, we don't have anything for them, and it's hard to get them to value us. The tall man asked in surprise, "Didn't Childe get useful information from Lady Erhai?" ”
Mo Haotian shook his head and said, "This time, the Ming Army really escaped. The tall and short men glanced at each other. Mo Haotian said with a smile: "This is also a good thing, although I don't have any good gifts to meet the leaders of the Tianzhu people and the Bagan people, but since the Ming army was defeated and fled, it is a good thing after all." Since then, Tianzhu, Bagan and Daming have formed a deep enmity, and Daming will definitely not give up. There is still a long time to go before the big war in the future, which is very beneficial for our long-term plans. The tall and short nodded in agreement.
Mo Haotian glanced at the two of them and said, "What we have to do is to keep a low profile, accumulate strength secretly, and if we don't launch it, we will go straight to the key point of the Ming Dynasty!" The tall and short two clasped their fists and said, "Obey the orders of the son!" ”
His gaze turned to Fengyu County. Duan Zhichun led more than 100,000 troops out of Fengyu County and hurried towards Dali City, where there was no threat, so only Meng Tuo led 10,000 horses to defend.
More than 100,000 troops rushed towards Dali City, and they kept receiving news on the way, and the various departments of the Ming Army and the aristocratic officials who defected to Yanyun left one after another, and finally the 10,000 war cavalry as the rear guard troops also withdrew. Soon after, news came that Dali City had fallen into a state of uncontrol, and many bandits took the opportunity to kill people and set fires, rob money, food and women, and Dali City was in chaos. Duan Zhichun was very anxious, and immediately ordered the army to speed up.
The army traveled day and night, and it only took one day and one night to enter the city of Dali. I saw that the gate of Dali City was wide open, the city was full of black smoke, the crying and screaming and the rampant laughter kept coming, and at the city gate, there were people who dragged their families and fled in a hurry.
Duan Zhichun felt that the situation was serious, and hurriedly ordered all the troops to enter the city from all sides to stabilize the situation and eliminate the bandits who took advantage of the fire to rob. The generals agreed with a bang, and then led their respective soldiers to go. Duan Zhichun led 50,000 horses and horses to enter the city through the north gate in front of him.
Boom! A loud bang suddenly came from the sky. Duan Zhichun couldn't help but be stunned. I was very surprised in my heart, and I couldn't help but follow the prestige. That is, the loud sound of knock came, coming from the edge of the sky, and it seemed to come from the depths of the earth, all at once, very heavy, giving people a feeling of unease. Duan Zhichun's color changed in horror, he heard it clearly at this time, the loud noise that came from this time was not a strange sound, but the sound of the war drums of the Ming Army! The other Dali soldiers also showed a look of surprise on their faces!
In the sound of heavy war drums, I saw the black tide surging in the forest more than ten miles away, and at the same time, a loud rumbling tide came down the earth. Duan Zhichun and the others were also veteran generals who had been in war for a long time, and when they saw such a scene, they immediately realized that it was the enemy's cavalry that had launched a charge! Duan Jiang's face changed, and he shouted, "It's not good! It's the Ming Army! We are in ambush! As soon as he shouted this, there was a commotion at the scene, and everyone felt incredulous, the Ming army had obviously retreated, how could there be a 10,000-strong cavalry in this position?
Duan Yi angrily shouted at the commotionous soldiers: "What are you panicking about? This must be the army left behind by the Ming Army! When the soldiers heard this, they only felt that it made sense, and their originally panicked hearts couldn't help but calm down.
Duan Zhichun shouted: "Nephew, what are you still in a daze, quickly order the army to line up and prepare for the battle!" There is nothing to be afraid of with just 10,000 Ming war horses! When we have eliminated them, it's not too late for us to enter the city! ”
Duan Zhichun nodded, pulled out his sword, raised it high, and shouted: "The army is arrayed, ready to fight!" ”
The officers and men of the Dali army received the order, and immediately began to line up on the spot, and for a while, I saw people and horses galloping back and forth, smoke and dust, flags and clouds, horses neighing and shouting, and rumbling footsteps. The speed of the Dali army's formation is naturally not comparable to that of the Ming army, but because the 10,000 Ming war horses are more than ten miles away after all, the Dali army still has plenty of time to line up.
When the Ming Dynasty cavalry galloped to a distance of only three or four miles from the Dali army, the Dali army had already completed the formation. I saw that the army of more than 100,000 was lined up into three huge phalanxes, with the large array of the Chinese army in the center, and a phalanx on the left and right as wings; In each array, the shield bearer is at the forefront, forming a shield wall with shields, and the long squirmers are at the back, assisting the shield bearers to form a defensive line, and then behind are the dense crossbowmen, who will be the main lethal force!
The 10,000 Ming war cavalry stopped when they were two miles away from the enemy's large array, lined up in battle, and prepared to attack. Suddenly, the battlefield was quiet and slaughtered.
Knock knock knock...... The officers and men of the Dali Army suddenly heard the roar of war drums in the distance behind them. Duan Zhichun and the others were surprised, and hurriedly followed the prestige, only to see another war horse of more than 10,000 people rushing from the woods more than ten miles away, and at the same time, the crowd was like a tide, and there was even a boundless and endless army of infantry troops coming from there. Seeing such a scene, Duan Zhichun and the others were shocked, because the enemy's infantry army was huge in size, with 100,000 people, and it was obviously impossible for such a huge force to stay behind! Duan Jiang changed color and said, "This is a trap!" It's a trap! "Everyone is in a heart.
Duan Ji came back to his senses and said in disbelief: "What, how can it be a trap?" Obviously, our scouts didn't find any suspicious signs! Duan Zhichun said with a calm face: "What the scouts found was simply deliberately let us find out by the Ming people!" How treacherous they are! Knowing that at this time, the army of the Tianzhu and Bagan people is approaching, we will not doubt and ignore the suspicion, so they just set up a scheme at this time to win us in! ”
When he said this, the sound of war drums also came from the other direction, and everyone hurriedly looked in the other direction, only to see another army of almost 100,000 people slowly approaching.
Duan Jiang hurriedly said: "In order to earn us into the city, there must really be no soldiers in the city, let's hurry into the city!" Duan Xuan's eyes lit up, as if a drowning man had grabbed a life-saving straw, and quickly nodded: "Not bad, not bad!" Let's hurry into town! Relying on the strong city to hold on, you will be able to hold out until the Tianzhu people and Bagan people arrive! ”
Duan Zhichun pointed to the 10,000 Daming warriors who were ready to attack not far in front of him, and said angrily: "Didn't you see those Daming warriors?" What is the purpose of them watching us from a short distance? And not to prevent our army from retreating into the city! When everyone heard this, their hearts sank. Duan Zhichun said with a gloomy face: "Shi Liancheng is really calculating!" These ten thousand horsemen are watching us, and if we turn and run towards the city, they will surely take advantage of the situation and pounce on us, and the army will be dashed to pieces! Even if most of our troops were able to run into the city, their horsemen would be able to rush into the city! We can't close the gates at all, and in an instant, the enemy army enters the city, will our army still be spared? Everyone's hearts sank to the bottom.
Duan Zhichun looked at the expressions of the generals and said, "It's not okay to retreat into the city, you can only line up on the spot!" Don't be afraid, our army is not much less than theirs, our army is already in formation, and it is absolutely impossible for them to defeat our army in a short time! ”
When the generals heard his unequivocal words, they could not help but restore much of their faith. However, seeing the enemy's 200,000 troops approaching from two directions, the banners were surging, the army was like a tide, rumbling loudly, and the earth trembled, and I still couldn't stand the trembling and frightened.
The Dali army approached the Dali army from two directions, about two miles apart, and stopped. When he landed, the tide of the army became as dignified as a mountain, and this movement was breathtaking, even Duan Xuan, a guy who didn't understand military affairs, couldn't help but feel a heavy pressure, and couldn't help but show fear on his face.
Duan Zhichun raised his sword and shouted, "Prepare for battle!" ”
The Dali army shouted in unison and was ready for battle.
However, the Ming army did not attack, and the formation was two miles away, silent. The soldiers of the Dali army were suspicious, but they were also slightly relieved. Whether it is a general or a soldier, there is actually no certainty about the fierce battle with the Ming army, since the Ming army does not attack, it is something that cannot be sought.
At this moment, there was a huge scream suddenly in Dali City, mixed with the sound of slashing and slashing, and the loud sound of the rumbling tide.
Duan Zhichun and the others looked at each other, and they all guessed that there must be a Ming army attacking the city, and they couldn't help but feel anxious. Everyone felt that the situation was getting worse and worse, and they wanted to leave as soon as possible, but in the face of the bag of more than 200,000 Ming troops, they didn't dare to move at all! They understand very well that once they lose the protection of the formation, the Ming army will inevitably pounce on them like a tiger and a wolf, and at that time, the hundreds of thousands of troops may inevitably have the tragic end of the annihilation of the entire army!
The chaotic slashing and screaming in the city gradually died down. At this time, the sun has come overhead, and the scorching sun shines down, making people feel only a tingling pain in the skin, like a pinprick prick. At this time, it was already early summer, and although it was very cool in the shade, you could still feel the hot power of the sun under the direct sunlight. The Dali soldiers were already sweating like rain and panting, although they did not fight, but after standing under the sun for a long time, everyone felt very tired; However, what frightened the Dali soldiers was that those Ming troops who stood under the sun like themselves were still not much different from before, with a momentum like a mountain, a slaughter, and the scorching sun seemed to have no effect on them.
At this moment, someone pointed to the city wall and shouted, "There are people on the wall!" The Dali soldiers immediately looked towards the city wall, and saw that many Ming soldiers were carrying things to the city wall. I couldn't help but be suspicious.
Soon after, I saw huge iron pipes with black holes being pushed out of the wall. The Dali soldiers had never seen that kind of thing, and their faces showed a blank look. Duan Zhichun suddenly thought of the description of Da Ming's 'cannon' in the intelligence, his face was terrified, and he couldn't help shouting: "Not good! The people around looked at him in amazement, wondering why the general was so panicked when he saw those iron pipes!
I saw that on the head of the city, a Ming general raised a red order flag and shouted.
Suddenly, there was a thunderclap of thunder and smoke above the city. The Dali soldiers were startled, and before they could react, they only felt countless black objects whistling into their own military formation, and in an instant, they saw flesh and blood flying, and screamed in amazement. The three large formations were all in a commotion, and the originally rigorous formation had become a little chaotic. At this moment, a huge flame suddenly surged up from the crowd, rolling the human limbs into the sky, and at the same time the loud explosion was louder than the sound just now, the Dali soldiers were shocked, and then they saw a fireball rising in the crowd, drowning countless of their own soldiers, and their ears were almost deaf by the huge explosion, and many Dali soldiers couldn't help but scream.
The explosion stopped, but the soldiers of the Dali army still felt their ears buzzing and their heads were dizzy; The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and I saw that the place that was originally full of people actually appeared countless deep and shallow earth pits, and the stumps inside and outside the soil pits were densely packed, and many injured people were crawling on the ground with difficulty, and their mouths kept screaming.
When the Dali soldiers saw such a scene in front of them, they were really shocked and inexplicable, and they forgot for a moment that there was still a Ming army around.
Knock knock knock...... The drums of Da Ming's war suddenly rang out. The Dali soldiers came back to their senses in shock, and then they thought that there was still a Ming army around. Seeing that the Ming army, which had been motionless, moved, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, Duan Zhichun shouted loudly at the top of his voice: "Prepare for battle!" Get ready for battle! The Dali soldiers panicked and ran around.
The Ming army is rushing, the cavalry is in front, the infantry is behind, surging and murderous!
"Archer prepare!" Duan Zhichun shouted anxiously. Duan Zhichun, who has always been moody and invisible, can't control his emotions anymore.
Dali archers bent their bows and arrows, ready to shoot. A moment later, seeing that the Ming army had entered the firing range, the Dali archers fired arrows one after another without waiting for an order! The rain of arrows swept across the sky and flew into the rolling tide, causing many ripples! However, the momentum of the Ming army's charge became more fierce and surging, and the roar sounded like a huge wave, which was really thrilling! The Ming soldiers raised their blades high, reflecting a cold light, and the boundless murderous aura soared into the sky!
When the Dali soldiers saw this scene, they couldn't help but be frightened, and the crowd stirred up and began to slowly retreat. Duan Zhichun shouted loudly, wielding his sword and slashing a few retreating officers, but it was useless, the soldiers of the Dali army were already frightened! I don't know who suddenly shouted, dropped the blade, turned around and fled, when the landing, the Dali soldiers dropped their blades and turned around to flee for their lives, and in an instant the Dali army rushed backwards like a tide. Duan Zhichun shouted again and again, but no one paid attention to him at all, he was swept away by the tide of the rout, and he fled to the rear involuntarily.
The Ming army crashed into the Dali army, and when it landed, it was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, killing the corpses of the Dali army and flying everywhere. Flying blood everywhere, flying stumps everywhere, this is simply a one-sided slaughter!
At the same time, the other two Ming armies also joined the battlefield to encircle and suppress the Dali army, and the situation on the scene was as if countless blue wolves were encircling and suppressing their prey. The prey was terrified to the extreme, running around like a headless fly; Flesh and blood flew under the flying minions, corpses were everywhere on the ground, and blood flowed into the canals. ……
Realized the transfer to Fengyu County. Meng Tuo, the guard of Fengyu County, received the report and immediately climbed the city gate tower. Following the guidance of the officer, I looked into the distance, and sure enough, I saw an army of my own coming from the direction of Dali City, about 10,000 people.
Meng Tuo didn't feel anything strange, thinking that it might be a team sent by the general to transport grain and grass. Soon after, the army from outside the city came under the city gates. Meng Tuo and the others saw clearly at this time that the 10,000 troops outside the city were very embarrassed, some of them were covered in blood, and some of them were already in tatters, and this army had obviously just escaped from a vicious battle.
Meng Tuo was greatly surprised, and asked in a loud voice, "Whose subordinates are you, and what happened?" I saw a big man who looked like an officer in the crowd and said loudly: "We are General Duan Jiang's subordinates, and there are also some other generals' subordinates. We encountered an enemy ambush outside Dali and were defeated! Open the gates and let us in!" The enemy's pursuers are almost there! As he turned his head to look behind him, he looked as if he was worried that the pursuers would catch up at any time.
Meng Tuo saw the flags surging between the mountains in the distance, and there was a huge roar, and realized that it must be the chasing soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Meng Tuo was flustered and hurriedly asked people to open the city gate.
The gates opened, and the rout army outside the city rushed in. Meng Tuo saw the officer who was talking to him just now, and asked urgently, "Are you back?" What about the generals? The officer sighed. Meng Tuo's heart couldn't help jumping, and he asked urgently: "Could it be that the general he, did he encounter any accidents?" ”
The gaze turned to the west side of Diancang Mountain. At the western foot of Diancang Mountain, which was originally inaccessible, there were actually a tide of people and horses, and the rumbling footsteps startled the surrounding beasts. This is an army of unbelievably large size, and this is the army of the Tianzhu people. This time, the Tianzhu army did not march against Longwei Pass, but turned north, and went north along the western foot of Diancang Mountain, preparing to attack Dali City through Fengyu County.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
