When Kshatriya saw Duan Zhichun coming, he laughed and said excitedly: "General Duan, I have good news for you!" Duan Zhichun asked curiously, "I don't know if there is any good news?" ”

Kshatriya smiled: "Just now, a messenger from Dali came, and the nobles of Dali are willing to cooperate with my Datianzhu to help us defeat the evil Ming army!" ”

When Duan Zhichun heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and then thought: "The predatory land policy of the Ming Dynasty is unacceptable to the vast majority of traditional nobles no matter what!" These aristocrats opposed them, and it was not surprising that they were rightly opposed. However, ......" At this point, Chao Kshatriya hugged his fists and said: "Generalissimo, it is reasonable for those nobles to resist the persecution of the Ming Dynasty and try to resist, but be careful whether this is a ploy of the Ming people!" ”

Kshatriya said, "I called you here to help me discern it. Then he picked up the four letters on the handsome case and handed them to Duan Zhichun, and said, "Here are four letters that are said to be handwritten by the heads of the four great nobles, you can see if there are any problems." ”

Duan Zhichun bowed forward, took the four letters, opened the envelopes respectively, took out the stationery, and looked at it. The four letters all expressed allegiance to Tianzhu, and the humility of the words made Duan Zhichun frown slightly, but thinking that he was also serving the Tianzhu people now, he couldn't help but sigh secretly. Duan Zhichun was very familiar with the handwriting of the four letters and the tone of the words in them, and thought of the four people who had been closely associated with them in the past, but when he looked at the signatures of the four letters, he saw that they were all names that he had never heard of. Seeing this, Duan Zhichun's heart was bright, knowing that although the four of them were determined to serve Tianzhu, they still left a way back for themselves, lest the Tianzhu army be defeated in the war, and their actions to serve Tianzhu would be known by the Ming side.

Seeing that Duan Zhichun had finished reading the letter, Kshatriya asked, "How is it?" Is there a problem with these four letters? ”

Duan Zhichun respectfully put the four letters back into the bookcase, hugged his fists and said, "There is no problem with these four letters. This letter is indeed the first of the four great nobles, with whom I am close and have a very good knowledge of their handwriting and language habits, and there is no doubt that these four letters are in their own handwriting. ”

Kshatriya nodded happily.

Duan Zhichun raised his eyes and glanced at Kshatriya, and said, "Generalissimo, these people may be able to play some role when the Tianzhu army captures Dali City, but I am afraid that it will have no effect at present." Kshatriya frowned and nodded, and muttered with some annoyance: "Fengyu County, the terrain is really too dangerous!" I had no choice but to bypass here and attack across the sea from the Erhai side! "In the past few days, Kshatriya and others racked their brains to come up with a way to attack Fengyu County, but they couldn't think of a good way, and finally Kshatriya thought that he simply bypassed the steep Diancang Mountain in the west and launched an attack from the Erhai Sea in the east, although it was not easy to attack across the sea, but it was much easier than attacking the steep Fengyu County! At least you don't have to raise your head to attack the high city, the army is divided into several ways to attack across the sea, and it must also make the Ming army lose one or the other!

Kshatriya said to Duan Zhichun: "I have decided to use a force to contain the enemy here, the main force will bypass from the north, and directly attack Dali City from the east across the Erhai Sea!" Duan Zhichun nodded and exclaimed, "Generalissimo is wise!" ”

Kshatriya said, "Now I have an important task for you to do!" ”

Duan Zhichun clenched his fists and said, "Please give orders to the generalissimo!" ”

Kshatriya said: "To attack across the sea, you need a large number of ships. In the Erhai Lake, there must be a lot of ships, you are the general of Dali, and you are a member of the royal family, so you will lead the soldiers and horses as the vanguard to the east of the Erhai Lake, for the army to build a front station, raise ships. Duan Zhichun promised and hurried down.

Immediately afterwards, Kshatriya issued an order to his generals, ordering the general Singh to lead 200,000 troops to stay in the camp at the foot of Diancang Mountain, and he himself led nearly 400,000 troops to set out from the camp, bypassing the north side of Diancang Mountain, and heading to the east shore of Erhai Lake. At the same time, Duan Zhichun had already left the camp and rushed to Ningbei Yan, which is now Eryuan County, where Duan Zhichun's 30,000 remnants of the defeated army were stationed.

Duan Zhichun rushed to Ningbei Yan, and immediately issued an order, leaving 5,000 men and horses to guard the city, and then led the rest of the soldiers and horses to march towards the east coast of Erhai Lake.

Two days later, 25,000 soldiers and horses arrived on the eastern shore of Erhai Lake. The east shore of Erhai Lake is full of green grass and rippling blue waves, which is a wonderful summer scenery.

Duan Zhichun didn't care about appreciating the scenery, so he immediately ordered 10,000 soldiers and horses to camp on the shore of Erhai, and at the same time ordered the rest of the soldiers and horses to be divided into ten teams

The shore of the Erhai Sea is the surrounding river to search for boats and boatmen. That night, the soldiers and horses sent out returned nothing. Some got two or three small fishing boats, and some came back empty-handed. Duan Zhichun asked the reason, and a general said: "According to the people we caught, the Ming army sent troops over and moved all the ships and boatmen to the west bank, and there were no ships on the east bank at all. Several of the other generals nodded.

Duan Zhichun frowned and said, "It seems that Shi Liancheng has long expected this move!" ”

One of the generals clenched his fists and asked, "General, what should we do now?" ”

Duan Zhichun is not angry; "What else can I do, since we don't have a ship, we have to build it temporarily, but fortunately there is no shortage of carpenters and boatmen in our army, and there is an inexhaustible supply of wood in the surrounding forests! Let's get started and get the raft ready! He then ordered the herald to report the situation to Kshatriya, and then ordered the officers and men of the army to cut down the trees and set up a makeshift workshop on the shore of the Erhai Sea to make the rafts.

At night, a scout galloped outside the city gate, reined in his horse, raised the command flag high, and shouted: "Great Ming Eagle Yang!" "This is the incision of the identification of the Ming Army in the past few days. When the captain on the tower of the city gate heard this, he immediately ordered the city gate to be opened. The gates were wide open, and the scouts swung their whips and galloped in, heading straight for the camp of Srien.

Shi Liancheng was dispatching the specific matter of the attack to the general, and the order was understood, and asked, "Is everything clear?" The generals nodded. Slenshing Road; "Excellent! Go down and prepare now, and set off for Longwei Pass early tomorrow morning! The generals clenched their fists and promised, and the fish rushed out. At this moment, the scout hurried into the hall, clasped his fists at Shi Liancheng and said, "General, an enemy army has appeared on the west shore of Erhai Lake. Shi Liancheng frowned, and immediately ran out of the camp.

After a while, Shi Liancheng climbed the East City Gate Tower and looked to the east, only to see that under the reflection of the moonlight, the vast and boundless Erhai Sea was sparkling, and the sky on the other side of the Erhai Lake was lit with lights, and there were obviously many soldiers and horses stationed.

Shi Liancheng frowned and scolded: "Damn! The worst fears have finally happened! He turned his head and asked the scout, "Whose soldiers and horses?" The scout replied: "It's Duan Zhichun's more than 20,000 rebels!" "Now the soldiers of the Ming army have regarded Dali as the land of the Ming Dynasty, and Duan Zhichun and his soldiers are Dali people but serve foreign races, so they are naturally rebels.

When Shi Liancheng heard that it was Duan Zhichun, his brows furrowed even tighter, because since Duan Zhichun appeared there, it meant that the main force of the Tianzhu people would also move to the east coast of Erhai Lake. This is what Shi Liancheng is most worried about, once the Tianzhu army appears on the east coast and gets enough rafts, then it will not be easy to hold the Erhai Lake. I am afraid that the previously specified plan must be changed, otherwise it will be impossible to resist the cross-sea attack of the Tianzhu army with the previous arrangement.

However, Shi Liancheng did not intend to make a complete change to the previously specified plan, because he had already transferred all the rafts on the east coast to the west bank in advance, and they were starting to rush now, and it was almost impossible to do so without ten days, in addition, Shi Liancheng had already made an arrangement for the worst-case scenario in advance, and this arrangement must also delay the enemy for some time. Shi Liancheng said to a personal soldier beside him: "Call General Xingfang to me immediately." The soldier said yes, ran down, and soon led the party back.

Xingfang hugged his fists and said: "The general is called, what are your orders?" ”

Shi Liancheng pointed to the east shore of Erhai Lake in the distance and said, "Look over there." Xingfang looked in the direction of Shi Liancheng's finger, and saw the sparks on the east bank of Erhai Lake, and couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "There is an enemy on the east coast?!" ”

Shi Liancheng said: "It's Duan Zhichun's rebels. I judge that the main force of the Tianzhu people will arrive soon. Xingfang frowned and said, "I didn't expect the worst that the general expected to finally appear!" ”

Shi Liancheng said indifferently: "Who says God likes to go against us!" It's nothing! He turned his head and said: "If all the troops are transferred, there will be no space here, and I can't rest assured that the Dali army will be left, so I want you to lead 30,000 soldiers under your command to stay in the city to prevent the enemy from attacking across the sea!" ”

Xingfang frowned and said: "It is already a very risky move to counterattack Bagan's nearly 500,000 army with 270,000 soldiers and horses, and if you reduce the main force of 30,000 to only 240,000, I am afraid this battle will be even more difficult!" ”

Shi Liancheng waved his hand and said, "It's okay!" As long as our elite can break through the enemy's defensive line in one fell swoop at the beginning of the war, the battle will be easy to fight! Therefore, 30,000 more soldiers and horses, 30,000 less soldiers and horses, it will not have much impact! That's it! Remember, if the Tianzhu people force their way across the Erhai Sea while our army is still fighting with the Bagan people, you can ask Fengyu County to send troops to support! Xingfang clenched his fists and promised. Shi Liancheng said excitedly: "The enemy is very strong, let's see who will kill the deer in the end!" When Xingfang heard this, he couldn't help but feel infinite pride in his heart. For the Ming army, the powerful enemy will not make them afraid, but will arouse their endless desire to fight!

The military situation was urgent and could not be delayed, so Shi Liancheng ordered all the armies to start moving as soon as they were ready. In the early hours of the morning, the armies of all walks of life headed towards Longwei Pass. The residents of Dali City dimly heard the sound of rumbling like thunder in the early hours of the morning, and it took more than an hour before it stopped.

One of Mo Haotian's cronies hurriedly rushed into Mo Haotian's bedroom in the early morning, woke up Mo Haotian, and reported to Mo Haotian: "Childe, just now our eyes found that all the armies of the Ming Dynasty were heading south, and now only Si Xingfang and his 30,000 soldiers and horses are left in the city. ”

Mo Haotian frowned, keenly aware that the Ming Army had made a big move. He immediately jumped out of bed, picked up a robe and put it on, walked to the map, and his cronies lit the oil lamp on the table and brought it over.

Mo Haotian looked at the Longwei Pass on the map, frowned, and muttered, "To the south, it should be the Longwei Pass." What does the Ming Army want to do? At present, the people of Bagan are storming Longwei Pass, could it be that Shi Liancheng wants to repeat his old tricks and break the Bagan army in one fell swoop? At this point, I only felt incredulous, "This is impossible!" The last time there was only 200,000 troops in Bagan, the Ming Dynasty attacked with nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses, which can be successful! But now Bagan has an army of 500,000, and the Ming Dynasty wants to guard against Tianzhu, and the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized can only be less, I'm afraid there are only 200,000, and if you want to break the 500,000 army with 200,000, this is simply a fantasy! Could it be that such a move by Shi Liancheng was just to defend against Bagan's attack? No, the threat of the Tianzhu people is obviously greater than that of the Bagan people, how could Shi Liancheng mobilize the main force to guard against the Bagan people? Mo Haotian thought about it, but he still couldn't understand Shi Liancheng's intention to transfer like this, and muttered: "Do you want to inform the people of Bagan of this situation?" ”

I thought it was better to be informed, so I went back to my desk and sat down. Seeing this, the cronies knew that he was going to write a letter, and immediately came over and lit the lantern on the desk.

Mo Haotian wrote a letter, sealed it, called one of his subordinates, handed it to him, and ordered him to take the letter immediately, secretly cross the Erhai Lake, and deliver the letter to the people of Bagan. The subordinates said yes and hurried away.

Mo Haotian stood up, returned to the map, and thought again.

The cronie who came to report said, "Childe, there is another situation. Mo Haotian snorted. The cronie said: "My subordinates just saw sparks on the east coast of Erhai Lake in the high places in the city, and it seems that there is a large army stationed there. ”

Mo Haotian was stunned for a moment, looked at his cronies, frowned, and said, "An army has arrived on the east shore of Erhai Lake?" The cronies nodded.

"Which army?"

The cronie shook his head and said, "I don't know about this." ”

Mo Haotian's gaze returned to the map, landed on the location on the east shore of Erhai Lake, and muttered: "The Tianzhu army plus the Bagan army is more than one million, and the Ming army will not send an army to garrison that place where there is no danger to defend. "Yes, it must not be the Ming Army, it should be the Tianzhu Army or the Bagan Army, one of the two of them wants to cross the sea and directly attack Dali City!" At this point, he only felt that this was right, but he had no way of judging which side the army on the east bank of Erhai Lake was, but no matter which side it was, the strategy of crossing the sea to attack must be wonderful! Although he didn't understand military affairs, he could also see that this strategy avoided the steep terrain, and the advantages of many soldiers and horses could be fully brought into play! Mo Haotian couldn't help but smile on his face, only feeling that those stupid barbarians had finally used their brains.

At this moment, the sound of sudden footsteps at the door came, and a subordinate of the dusty servant ran behind Mo Haotian, clasped his fists and said, "Childe, my subordinates are from Bianliang." ”

Mo Haotian's heart moved, he turned around, glanced at the visitor, nodded, and said, "I remember you, you followed Yang Tai to lurk in Bianliang." What happened to Bianliang? His heart moved, and he frowned and asked, "It can't be that Yang Tai has an accident, right?" ”

The person hurriedly said: "Everyone is fine, don't worry." The villain came here on the orders of Yang Tai, and he had important information to report to the son. ”

Mo Haotian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard him say that the people lurking in Bianliang were fine, and when he heard him say that there was important information, he asked, "What important information?" ”

Lai Dao: "We got information through an informant, Yang Peng has ordered the 400,000 people's troops to be urgently mobilized to Dali!" ......" Mo Haotian was shocked when he heard this, and asked urgently, "Is this true?" The person who came nodded affirmatively and said, "The information is absolutely accurate!" And when the villain came, he also saw this army on the official road in Sichuan, which was really endless! ”

Mo Haotian frowned and said, "It's not good, it's not good!" 400,000 Ming troops! Four hundred thousand! As soon as this army comes, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that the situation on the entire battlefield will be reversed in an instant! "Although Mo Haotian doesn't know much about military affairs, he subconsciously feels that the Ming army here plus the 400,000 Ming army is enough to defeat the million-dollar alliance of Tianzhu and Bagan!

The person hurriedly said, "Childe is wrong. It is not the 400,000 Ming army that is coming, but the 400,000 people's army! ”

Mo Haotian was stunned, "People's Army? What do you mean? Could it be the military army? ”

Come to the humane: "It's not the military army." According to the information we have received, the military government troops have all stayed in the local defense, and these 400,000 are the conscripted people, but they have all undergone a certain degree of military training before. ”

Mo Haotian understood, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and scolded with a smile: "I was almost scared to death by you!" Then he frowned and said: "Even if it is 400,000 people's army, that should not be ignored!" ”

The cronies hurriedly asked, "Childe, do you want to inform the Tianzhu people and the Bagan people of this situation immediately?" ”

The person hurriedly said: "Yang Peng not only mobilized the 400,000 troops, but it is also said that he also mobilized 100,000 directly subordinate legions to the south!" Mo Haotian and his cronies were taken aback. The cronies said with a frightened face: "That direct legion is powerful!" It is the real essence of the Ming Army! Since the formation of the army, the world is invincible! It can be described as an undefeated strong army! Mo Haotian glared and said, "There is no need to say much about these situations!" Only then did the cronies realize that they had said the wrong thing, and quickly closed their mouths. Then he asked: "Childe, do you want to inform the Tianzhu people and the Bagan people of these situations?" ”

Mo Haotian hesitated, shook his head slowly, and said, "Don't for the time being." It wouldn't be good if they got scared when they found out about it! Wait, wait until it's almost time, and then tell them it's not too late. It is best for the Tianzhu people and the Bagan people to fight him with the Ming army in Dali, and both sides will be defeated! ”

On the east shore of Erhai Lake, the Tianzhu army has not yet arrived, and the soldiers under Duan Zhichun are busy on the seaside. Logs were transported to the barracks, and in the barracks, planks of planks were assembled and assembled. Duan Zhichun didn't plan to make any elaborate big boats, but just spliced wood into a huge raft. Several rafts that have been made are floating on the water next to them, and they are really huge, with sides about 30 meters long. Such a huge raft floats on the water, and people can fully exert their combat effectiveness when they are on it.

Duan Zhichun inspected the construction site in full swing, and the expression on his face was very satisfied.

There was a faint roar in my ears. Duan Zhichun's heart moved, raised his head, and followed the sound. I saw a cavalry force of several thousand people rushing from the northwest. Duan Zhichun couldn't help but be overjoyed, and muttered, "They came so fast, even faster than I expected!" I thought they wouldn't be there until later! ”

Seeing the thousands of war horses rushing towards him, the speed was extremely fast, like a black cloud that was rapidly drifting.

Duan Zhichun's heart suddenly moved, and he said strangely: "Strange, why, why do Tianzhu people have such fast cavalry?" And that momentum makes people chill! ”

With a frightened expression, he shouted, "Not good! It's the enemy! He found that the enemy army that surged like a black cloud was extremely powerful, far from being comparable to the Tianzhu people, and their war horses and their outfits were not at all the appearance of the Tianzhu people, but more like the Ming army, seeing this, he suddenly realized that the thousands of cavalry rushing forward were by no means the Tianzhu army, but the enemy, the Ming war horse! However, the Daming War Horse was completely different from the Daming War Horse he had ever seen!

Duan Zhichun hurriedly shouted at the few generals around him: "Ring the alarm bell and prepare for battle!" Several generals reacted and hurriedly ran down, and in an instant, the alarm bell shouted loudly, and Duan Zhichun's soldiers threw down the work at hand, picked up their weapons, and prepared to face the battle.

However, the black cavalry came too quickly, and before everyone was ready, the black cloud of war horses rushed into the camp. Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, killing the corpses of Duan Zhichun's army and flying with blood, the screams rang out, and there was chaos in the camp, and many soldiers of Duan Zhichun's army threw away their armor and fled for their lives; Duan Zhichun's cronies will organize soldiers to counterattack, but the attack of the black cavalry is incredibly sharp, I saw them swept through like a violent wind, and under the flickering cold light, only flesh and blood flew sideways, and Duan Zhichun's army who counterattacked was killed in an instant! Duan Zhichun's soldiers were terrified, and they only felt that these black cloud-like war horses were simply not like human beings, they were simply demons who came to the human world from the underworld!

Although the strength of Duan Zhichun's army was ten times that of the other party, they were killed and scattered, and they fled one after another, and they were in a very disadvantageous situation, and they were about to be unable to resist the charging of the black war horse. Duan Zhichun was anxious to see that those terrible black war horses were led by a fierce general, and the idea of capturing the thief and capturing the king first immediately popped up in his heart, and immediately pointed at the enemy general who was killing all sides in his own army and shouted: "Kill that enemy general!" The generals around him looked in the direction of Duan Zhichun's finger, saw the fierce enemy general, and immediately shouted and urged the war horse to rush forward.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
