Chapter 293: Encounter on a Narrow Road, the Brave Wins
Yang Weizhong soon learned that there were about 5,000 Dali troops on the opposite side, their route was northward, their goals were unknown, and their commanders were unknown. The only thing that was certain was that they would definitely meet with their own side in another hour.
This area is surrounded by clouds, deep woods, deep valleys and cliffs. There are not many mountain roads that can be taken, and I can't avoid it even if I want to.
If you can't avoid it, then fight!
Yang Weizhong began to mobilize his troops. He found an ambush site, which was a mountain col. The mountains formed a small flat here, and the mountain road curved here.
He ambush 3,000 soldiers in the woods on the edge of the mountain col, and then led 3,000 soldiers to ambush at the other end of the mountain road.
During the mobilization before the war, Yang Weizhong said to the officers and soldiers who had gathered together: "Now we have penetrated deep into the enemy's territory. If we are timid and do not move forward, there is only one way to die. We must move forward bravely to win a way out and make achievements."
!When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!"
"The brave one wins when we meet on a narrow road!" Everyone responded and went back to their respective departments.
"Send an order to General Yao and ask him to restrain the main force and the logistics team, especially the mules and horses, so as not to make any noise and disturb the enemy."
"yes!"
Soon, five thousand Dali troops came over slowly and leisurely. The mountain road was not wide, so only two people could walk side by side, with pack horses in the middle. The entire team meandered for more than three miles.
When they arrived at the mountain col, the soldiers' footsteps seemed to be stuck in the mud, and it was difficult to pull them out. Each step was slower than the other. The officers also knew that they were tired and hot after traveling for a long time, and they really should take a rest.
He reported it to the general, said a few good words, and received the order. The whole army rested in this rare mountain col.
Yang Weizhong waited for a while. He knew that a very tired person would become even more tired after a short rest. So he had to grasp the time well.
When it was almost done, Yang Weizhong signaled to his adjutant to start the attack.
A thousand soldiers bent forward and hurried forward along the mountain road. As soon as they turned around and entered the mountain col, they spread their legs and ran forward to make space for them to form a formation.
The sudden enemy force shocked the Dali army, but they had not yet recovered from the extreme mental and physical exhaustion. Their consciousness was chaotic and their bodies were numb. They just stared blankly, unable to do anything for the moment.
any reaction.
A thousand Song troops seized the favorable terrain, then took out the powerful crossbows they carried and fired at the Dali army from a high position. Another thousand Song troops had shields in their left hands and swords in their right hands, whistling and charging from the other direction in squad units.
Go up.
The Dali army was first hit by a torrential rain of arrows, knocking them off their feet, and then was snatched in by swordsmen and killed with blood and flesh everywhere. The generals and officers who reacted shouted loudly, gathered their soldiers, and immediately went into battle.
When they finally gathered into a formation, from the back, the three thousand Song troops who were ambushing suddenly attacked. First they fired a burst of arrows and crossbows, and then they rushed into the Dali army with almost missing arrows.
The front and rear pincer attacks, coupled with the combat effectiveness of both sides, were not at the same level of organization. In less than an hour, the Dali army was completely defeated. What consumed the Song army the most was to hunt down and capture the Dali army that was running all over the mountains and plains.
After interrogating the prisoners, it was discovered that the general leading the army was Gao Mingdai, a nephew of Gao Taiming. He was originally the military envoy of Shanju County and the actual person in charge of the northwest defense of Dali.
A few days ago, in Lahe Wayan, which is not far from Dandang Town across the river to the west, a chieftain was willing to give his daughter to him as a concubine. The chieftain's daughter was very beautiful, and the chieftain was willing to offer him a generous gift.
For the dowry, I only asked Gao Mingdai to lead his army around Lahe Wayan to give him a strong momentum and suppress the other chieftains around him.
Of course Gao Mingdai is willing to do such a good thing.
It's just that the Song army is making a lot of trouble in Jiazhou and Xuzhou, and there are signs that it will attack at any time. Although Shanju County is not on the front line that bears the brunt, it is bordered by the chieftains under the Suzaku banner of the Song State and belongs to the front line. It must be like this
Do.
It's just that the war has been going on for several months, and there has been no real war, so everyone is tired. Gao Mingdai thought, and took advantage of his free time to get this good thing done. So he ordered 5,000 soldiers and horses and headed north along the mountain road on the right bank of the Jinsha River.
, didn’t want to bump into Song Jun head-on.
Yang Weizhong was delighted when he heard this. He was really walking on the road, and his joy fell from the sky.
He and Yao Xiong first found out from Gao Mingdai's mouth the true and false facts of Shanju County and the states and counties up to Dali City.
Then he handed Gao Mingdai to Marquis Du Yu - giving him a good lesson and baptizing his soul from the inside out.
Soon, before arriving at Jiuyang City, Gao Mingdai, who was well-educated, stood up, patted his chest and said, Brother, this is my territory, my words matter, I will open the city gate for you.
Sure enough, when Gao Mingdai stopped at the city gate, he jabbered, and the gate of Jiuyang City was opened.
Although Jiuyang City was just a slightly larger landlord's compound in the eyes of the Song Army, wouldn't it be a good thing if it could be captured without any effort.
Yang Weizhong and Yao Xiong were very curious and asked Du Yuhou, how did you reverse Gao Mingdai's strategy?
Du Yuhou laughed and said, it's very simple. I took him around a few times in the army, and then asked him, we have so many troops in the Song army, half of them are the troops who contributed to the destruction of Xia, so I will ask you about the Dali army.
Can't stop it?
Gao Mingdai immediately replied honestly, even if the main force from the east is pulled back, they can't stop it. In fact, we have estimated that if your Song army comes from here, your biggest reliance will be the natural dangers of the Jinsha River and the dangerous mountains.
Mountain road. Now that you have broken through these two natural dangers, it will definitely be unstoppable.
I asked him again, since you can't stop him, are you willing to be buried with Dali? This guy shook his head like a rattle - he said that he still had many years to live, so how could he be willing to be buried?
I told him again that in your Dali country, the Duan family's forces have been fighting with your Gao family's forces, and their strength has been exhausted. Later, under the pressure of our Song Dynasty, your uncle Gao Taiming compromised and was willing to continue to serve Duan.
Peace and reputation are the main priority, and the two sides have temporarily ceased fighting. But as far as we know, your Gao family has always been the main militant faction.
After our army destroys your Dali Kingdom, the Gao family will definitely be purged. If you, kid, abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side now, after the Gao family is purged, you will be the head of the Gao family. With this status - after the purge, you still need to appease
, coupled with your first-rate contribution, can ensure your prosperity and wealth for generations to come.
Then Gao Mingdai suddenly woke up.
The reason is very simple, but it is not easy to be able to grasp the changes in the opponent's mentality, be gentle and seductive, and quickly break down the opponent's obstacles. It is indeed a political officer who has studied at Zhangkai Military and Political College, he is awesome!
With Gao Mingdai as the leader, the Song army advanced rapidly.
Luo Bo's mid-air city surrendered. The cities of Yidu Fu, Ningbei Fu, Feng Yu Commandery, Deng Fu, Xi Fu and other cities were either lured to surrender by Gao Mingdai or tricked by him into opening the city gates. One or two remaining cities were still resisting.
Gao Mingdai also informed the truth, and the Song army used a plan to capture it.
It is about 700 miles from Dandang Town to Dali City. After the Song army crossed the Jinsha River near Dandang Town, it took less than half a month to reach the gates of Dali City.
The city was in panic. Duan Heyu and Gao Taiming were dumbfounded. Where did the more than 20,000 Song troops come from? Did they fly here?
Dali City is now empty, and all the troops that can fight are on the eastern border. Dali City is said to be the capital of the country, but in fact it is just that. The Song army has occupied Cangshan Mountain and is condescending. If it cannot be stopped, it is better to run away first.
Keeping the green hills, you don’t have to worry about having no firewood!
But the next news made the monarchs and ministers feel cold.
The Song army circled the city, captured the Erhai Pier outside the east gate, and occupied Longwei Pass in the south.
It's over, all escape routes have been blocked. No, how did the Song Army know these truths? Is there a traitor among us? This chapter has been completed!
