Chapter Four Hundred and Sixty Four: The Battle(1/2)

Dong Xian, who had gathered an army of 100,000 men, divided into three groups and marched toward Huichuan Mansion, preparing to launch a final and fatal attack on Gao Yingxiang and completely eliminate this hidden danger.

If Gao Yingxiang is killed, the world will be at peace from now on.

Although there are many conflicts among the leaders of the various tribes, counties and towns in Dali due to the distribution of interests, they still rarely remain consistent on this matter. In the end, everyone is still worried that Gao Yingxiang will turn over once he regains his temper.

They came to counterattack and settle the matter. Even Tengchong Muzheng, who was now at odds with Dong Xian, also remained silent at this time and did not come out to cause trouble when Dong Xian was sending out troops in large numbers and the interior was empty.

Everyone still feels good about the Gao family.

After finally killing 90% of this wild snake, we must not let the last small part of it have a chance to mature again and grow into a big snake again.

Dali belongs to the Duan family, but from another perspective, he also belongs to the Gao family.

In the Song Dynasty, the official family and the scholar-bureaucrats jointly governed the world.

Dali is a bit weird.

He and his ministers rule the world together.

There is only one such minister, and that is the Gao family.

The wealthy people in Dali have been suffering from the Gao family for a long time.

If you can knock him down, you must not hesitate. As for what to do in the future, everyone can discuss or fight over it.

Even though Dong Xian seems to have all the power in the world now, he has a fatal weakness.

His Dong family was wiped out by Gao Yingde.

Without truly considerate and reassuring people, it's hard to say how long Dong Xian's power can be maintained.

Now we need a leader, and Dong Xian is undoubtedly the most suitable person.

In this attack, Dong Xian also knew that he had risked everything.

After a year of fighting last year, although Gao Yingxiang was defeated and his opponent was forced to retreat to Huichuan, the entire Dali was wiped out because of this protracted war.

After finally surviving the winter and finishing the spring plowing, Dali's last bit of confidence was once again collected by Dong Xian, who wanted to complete his success in one battle.

Once you win this battle, everything will be fine.

Lost?

How could you lose!

A hundred thousand troops were dispatched, and even one man's spit could drown Gao Yingxiang.

Without the intervention of the Song troops on Guizhou Road and Guangnan West Road, Dong Xian's calculation would have been correct.

It's a pity that Xiao Cheng has been planning for several years and has been waiting for this moment. How could he miss this golden opportunity?

Dali has come to where it is today step by step. Xiao Cheng doesn't know how much effort he spent on it, how much money he secretly spilled, and how many lives he sacrificed!

Now, it's finally time to harvest the fruits.

Yue Teng led three thousand cavalry of the Sky Eagle Army straight to Lanxi County.

Wang Zhu led the Tianlang Army and Fan Yifei led the Tianwu Army into Huichuan, and joined forces with Gao Yingxiang to meet the main force of the enemy.

Li Xin led the Tiannan Army, and Tian Zhen led the Tianyi Army to attack Shicheng County from both sides.

Yang Bin led the Tianping Army down the Wujiang River, and then turned into the Nanpan River. It went straight in and fought all the way to Kunming.

In the direction of Guangnan West Road, Wei Wu led the Qingyuan Army from Temo and fought all the way to Xiushan County.

Xiao Cheng, on the other hand, personally led 5,000 Futai troops and was stationed in Juzhou. While raising weapons and supplies for various troops, he was also ready to support them at any time.

At the end of April, Dong Xian went to war.

In mid-May, the entire situation had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Dong Xian may have guessed that Gao Yingxiang would definitely request external support, but what he never expected was that Xiao Cheng on Guizhou Road would intervene on such a scale.

This is no longer support for Gao Yingxiang, this is an all-out invasion.

Yue Teng looked at the hurriedly arrayed Lanxi County troops on the opposite side, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, pushed up the black blindfold covering his left eye, choked out his sword, pointed his halberd forward, and shouted sternly: "Attack!"

The Sky Eagle Army is attacking from all over the mountains and plains. The few Dali cavalry on the opposite side are also shouting and attacking regardless of life and death. They must buy time for the infantry to integrate into a sufficiently strict formation, otherwise the scattered infantry will encounter

A cavalry attack will only lead to death.

The Dali cavalry, which had only about 500 cavalry at most, was quickly submerged in the sea of ​​Tianzu Army cavalry. The fighting continued, but the Tianying Army's offensive did not stop.

Two cavalrymen separated from the team and continued to charge towards Lanxi's army, which had barely formed a formation.

Long Cang and Yu Yu both looked pale. Although they were the commander of an army and the head of a county, this was the first time they saw thousands of cavalry being thrown into battle at once. Everywhere they looked, it seemed that they were all opponents.

The shadow of the cavalry was filled with the shouts and shouts of the opponent.

"Ready the crossbow!" Long Cang roared as he looked at the opponent approaching step by step.

Thousands of bows and arrows pointed diagonally at the sky.

However, when their opponent was more than a hundred steps away from them, they suddenly split into two, then changed the direction of their forward attack, and instead sprinted around the formation.

The archers who were about to release arrows looked at their opponents in astonishment, and Long Cang also lost his decision in an instant.

This distance is the ultimate range of the bow and arrow. Even if it is shot, it will not have much power or destructive power.

After a slight hesitation, the cavalry team on the opposite side had already formed a long line of cavalry, running in an arc and approaching the military formation diagonally.

When they approached seventy or eighty steps, while the Dali army was still hesitating whether to shoot, the Sky Eagle army took the lead in firing.

The one the Sky Eagle Army attacked was the Dali crossbowman in the middle of the team.

The Dali crossbowmen immediately began to fight back.

However, the effect is quite different.

The Sky Eagle Army's horses are extremely fast, and they keep a certain distance. The two teams alternate. When one team attacks, the other team is a guerrilla more than a hundred steps away. Then after one team attacks, they quickly pull away.

The outside team quickly made up for it. The two teams exchanged in this way, and the shots continued.

But their goal is to stay where they are and not be able to move.

One shoots at a moving target,

One shoots at a fixed target,

The degree of difficulty is naturally self-evident.

Every time the Sky Eagle Army made a turn, someone would be knocked off their horse and either shot to death or trampled to death by their own cavalry. However, this number was completely insignificant compared to the losses suffered by the opponent.

As soon as the battle started, the archers of Lanxi County lost the ability and courage to fight against the opponent.

When the Sky Eagle Army saw that the opponent's crossbows were sparse and no longer in shape, they immediately began to change the target of their attack and began to attack the infantry arrayed outside.

There is no pause, just constant running.

Shoot, shoot, shoot again.

After a few rounds of shooting, one team immediately turned to the rear to rest, while another team of cavalry waiting on one side would immediately take over.

Half an hour after the battle began, the five hundred Lanxi County cavalry were gone.

Ninety percent died in battle, and the remaining ten percent had a bad idea and fled away.

As long as the Dali infantry under attack loosened their formation slightly, the cavalry would immediately pounce on them and bite them, tearing the flesh and blood from the ranks.

It's not that Long Cang didn't think of a way. In such a passive situation, he still devised a trap, deliberately exposing flaws to lure the opponent's cavalry to attack, and then launched a beautiful counterattack.

It's just a pity that no matter how tempting his bait is, the opponent's cavalry seems to have become blind. Every time they come up, they only take a small bite. It seems that every time they attack, they are satisfied with just a small bite.

, I don’t want to eat a fat man in one bite.

The continuous loss of blood and the lack of effective counterattack finally caused the soldiers of Lanxi County to collapse. The three armies in the formation, first the largest one collapsed after being continuously attacked by the enemy cavalry, and then they retreated and collapsed.

Soldiers, and the two small military formations on the flanks were implicated.

At this time, the Sky Eagle Army finally began its general attack.

More than a hundred cavalry, led by a governor, cut in and tore at lightning speed. The cutting of nearly twenty such teams completely tore the entire battlefield apart, and also made a Dali general want to reorganize the military formation.

The idea turned into a luxury.

Whether it was Ma Shang, Shengman, who joined the Sky Eagle early, or Wu Jing, who joined later, they all worked hard to show their value on the battlefield, proving their importance to the Sky Eagle Army.

Yue Teng did not even use the reserve troops in his hands, and the soldiers of Lanxi County were completely defeated.

Long Cang and Yu Yu ran away with their guards.

One day later, they returned to Lanxi County City, but the city gate was closed. Above the city, a large flag with the character "Gu" was fluttering in the wind. Gu Zheng stood on the city tower with a smile, looking at the two former superiors.

.

Long Cang and Yu Yu didn't even have time to waste time before they started running away again, because the leading troops of the Sky Eagle Army were already chasing them.

One day later, Long Cang and Yu Yu parted ways. Long Cang led the rest of his troops to surrender to Yue Teng, because his family was still in Lanxi, while Yu Yu fled towards Nongdong Mansion with his confidants, hoping to defect to Dong Xian.

Dong Xian had already broken one of his arms before he reached Huichuan Mansion.

And his other arm also received news that made him desperate the next day. The Shicheng County army was surrounded by the Tiannan Army and the Tianyi Army. After the two sides fought, Shicheng County was defeated and retreated into the city to defend it.
