Under the cover of night, tens of thousands of troops quietly arrived about 300 meters away from the west gate of Shanchan City. It was still Tian Xiuyan and the 300 death squads who served as the sharp knife troops. After an experience, Tian Xiuyan's nervousness Got great relief.
The only difference is that there is one more person in the team this time. Longya Ye Dongsheng.
At three o'clock in the morning, two centurions in the Ximen garrison suddenly attacked. The left arms of these two hundred soldiers were wrapped with a special mark - a red cloth belt. Fifty of them were guarded by a general who looked like a captain. Under the leadership, he ran down the city wall and killed a dozen soldiers guarding the gate who were caught off guard. Then he slowly opened the gate. Immediately, Sarivu led more than 2,000 soldiers dressed in black and also had red cloth marks on their left arms. The surrounding houses rushed out one after another. At the same time, the three red lanterns on the tower were lit one by one.
"The signal is out." Tian Xiuyan shouted in a low voice. "Suicide squad, follow me." After saying that, Tian Xiuyan and Ye Dongsheng took the lead in rushing towards the city gate.
Most of the Dali soldiers guarding the city were dozing off. Half asleep and half awake, many of them were massacred by Shariwei's men before they could even say "hum". The soldiers who reacted immediately shouted loudly: "The enemy is attacking. Come quickly." Enemy attack."
The commander of the Dali army stationed at the west gate was Duan Sui, the distant cousin of the commander of the Shanchan City garrison Duan Li. When he heard the noise outside, Duan Sui, who was sleeping, shouted "No, here comes someone". Duan Sui suddenly jumped up from the bed. However, Duan Sui never expected that this "No, come on!" would actually become the last voice he left in the world.
The usually docile guard Jin Yuan did not hand over his armor. Instead, he handed over a steel knife. To be precise, it was a flash of sword. But when the sword flashed, Duan Sui's body was already in half. Where was Duan Sui? Knowing that this guard whom he regarded as a confidant who saved his life a year ago turned out to be a major general of the Renaissance Army.
"Hey, Duan Sui, please remember. My name is not Jin Yuan, but Jin Zhenyuan. I am the third disciple of General Duan." Jin Zhenyuan wiped the blood on the knife and looked at Duan Sui's body. sighed.
Commander-in-chief Hudu and Duan Li, who were in the camp at the north gate of Shanchan City, were both shocked when they heard that enemy troops had invaded the west gate. They had the same reaction as Wumeng guard Gao Jiangong. They thought it was another relic riot. The two men immediately organized the battalion officers and soldiers. The captain Ge Yue personally led the team. He led the first batch of two thousand assembled Mongolian soldiers and rushed towards the west gate quickly.
At this time, twenty-seven soldiers, led by General Lou Anbang, followed the death squads into the west gate. According to the plan made in advance, after meeting with Sariwei, the army was divided into three groups. Each disciple led a team of people as guides and attacked the north gate from three passages.
Although the two thousand Mongolian soldiers were brave and tenacious, they quickly fell into a disadvantage in the face of the Song army that was several times their size and lost the advantage of their horses. They barely managed to deal with the Song army by relying on the narrow streets.
However, as more and more Song troops poured in, Ge Yue could only command a group of soldiers to retreat while fighting.
When all other Yuan troops in the camp were assembled, more than 10,000 Song troops had already rushed into the camp.
Suddenly, there was a scuffle in the camp.
With their excellent physical fitness and strong combat power, the Mongolian soldiers had a slight advantage in one-on-one battles. But soon, the well-trained soldiers in the twenty-seventh chamber formed groups one by one under the command of their respective superiors. A small formation, two against one or three teams per team, suppressed the Mongolian attack with combined force. As for the Dali army, they had already been killed by the Song army and fled in all directions.
Tian Xiuyan, Ye Dongsheng and other experts watched all directions and acted as firefighters. They appeared wherever there was danger. In less than a cup of tea, 20,000 people led by Fan Wenhu and Long Zaitian The officers and soldiers of the Guangxi Military Region rushed in again. The situation was completely in favor of the Song Army.
In the midst of the battle, Ge Yue shouted violently, wielding the sword in his palm, and forced back several Song soldiers in front of him. He quickly retreated to Hudu and said: "General, get on your horse quickly. While the North Gate is still in the hands of our army, break out of the encirclement as soon as possible. .”
Suddenly everyone knew that the situation was irreversible. He gave the order: "Okay. Order all the soldiers to retreat to the manger. Ge Yue, you are responsible for holding back the enemy."
"Yes, General." Ge Yue waved his sword and led his troops to the front line of the battle.
Although it was a drop in the bucket, it also slightly delayed the pace of the Song army's attack. Suddenly, Duan Li was pulled up. Under the protection of a group of personal guards who risked their lives, they rushed to the manger. Finally, before the Song army encircled them, they took the road and ran straight. Go to the north gate.
"Suddenly both Duan and Duan Li have escaped. You still haven't surrendered." Seeing this, Shiliwei mobilized his inner strength and shouted loudly in Dali dialect. "Dali sergeant, those who surrender will not be killed."
The Dali soldiers who had no fighting spirit were stunned when they heard Sariwei's words. I don't know who quietly put down their weapons. With the leader, the Dali soldiers infected each other and put down their weapons one after another.
"Those who surrender will not be killed." Sariwei's men also shouted in Dali in unison.
After a while, only Ge Yue and his men were left in the camp, still resisting desperately. When General Gundam appeared in the camp, two spears from Tian Xiuyan and Sariwei stabbed Ge Yue at the same time.
"Commander, it's a pity that Hu Du and Duan Li escaped."
"General Tian, it doesn't matter. Let our army kill them all in Dali City."
At this time, the east has turned slightly white. The faint red cloud seems to announce that a new day is coming.
Under Ye Dongsheng's recommendation, Relic gave a salute and said, "Duan Donglou has met Marshal Gao."
Gao Gao did not dare to be negligent. He also quickly returned the courtesy and said: "General Shariwei. I have long admired your name. Today's battle is a battle. You and your tribe have made the most of the contribution. Gao will report to His Majesty and ask for a reward for General Duan."
"Thank you, Gao Shuai."
Gundam smiled. He turned to Fan Wenhu and said, "General Fan."
"exist."
"General Fan, your department is responsible for cleaning the battlefield."
"Yes. Gao Shuai."
"General Lou, some of your troops are divided into two groups. Go to the east and south gates and have a look."
"Yes. I will obey your orders."
"General Shariwei. The security in the city is troublesome for your army."
"Gao Shuai, don't worry."
"Well, General Shariwei. Gao is going to visit Prince Duan now. I hope the general will lead the way."
"Commander Gao please."
"General Tian, Mr. Ye, you will also go with me."
Tian Xiuyan and Ye Dongsheng said in unison: "Yes. Gao Shuai."
Regarding the fighting in the early morning, most of the people in the city did not know the reason. They just stayed at home and chanted the blessings of Bodhisattva to prevent the war from affecting their homes. After the Mongolian invasion and the riots of Shariwei, the people of Shanchan City could only Pray for God's blessing.
The sky had just brightened up. The people living around Tianlong Temple discovered that Tianlong Temple was very different from the past. The usual solemnity and solemnity were replaced by bursts of murderous aura. There were nearly a hundred strong men in black guarding the gate of the temple. From time to time, groups of big men in the same uniform appeared on the street, patrolling back and forth with weapons in hand. However, these people could not tell who they were from their clothes.
As the presiding master of Tianlong Temple, he is sitting on a futon in the main hall, holding Buddhist beads in his hand, silently staring at a Buddha statue in front of him.
Suddenly, Shelikong felt someone coming in from behind. He quickly stood up, turned around and said, "I'm back."
"Yes, Your Majesty, East Tower has fulfilled its mission."
"Okay. Okay." Shelikong couldn't figure out how he felt at this time.
Gao Gao, Tian Xiuyan and Ye Dongsheng raised their hands together and saluted: "The Great Song Dynasty Southwest Military Region established the envoy Gao Da, and the Senate Chairman Tian Xiuyan. Ye Dongsheng has met Prince Duan."
"Two generals, thank you for your hard work." Shelicong smiled and said to Ye Dongsheng, who was familiar with him. "Mr. Ye, you are here well."
"Thanks to the prince."
The four of them laughed together.
"Your Majesty, there is an imperial edict." Shariwei stepped forward and said. Then he said to Tian Xiuyan, "General Tian, please."
"It's because of the war. Keep everything simple." Tian Xiuyan took out the imperial edict and said. "Duan Heng, Duan Donglou listens to the edict."
"The common people are here. Please declare, General." The two men knelt down on the spot and said.
Tian Xiuyan said loudly: "I obey the destiny and will surely unify our land of China. Yunnan Province is our land of China. Although Dali has been autonomous for many years, it was occupied by Mongolia. Now our army has recovered Shanchan. Count. In the future, the entire territory of Yunnan will be recovered. In order to bring stability to Yunnan as soon as possible and allow the people of all ethnic groups in Yunnan to live a life of abundant food and clothing, we hereby declare the following decree. First, Shanchan will be renamed Kunming City and serve as the administrative seat of Yunnan Province; Second. Confer Duan Heng the title of King of Zhennan and serve as the governor of Yunnan Province. He will receive the second-grade title. Duan Donglou will temporarily serve as the deputy envoy of the Southwest Military Region and will receive the third-grade title. This will be done after the whole territory of Yunnan is recovered. Appointed. Appreciate this."
Relic Kong took the imperial edict and said: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
Tian Xiuyan said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor said that the delegation from Tianlong Temple that day knew that Your Majesty is dedicated to good deeds. His appointment as the first governor of Yunnan Province will definitely benefit the people of all ethnic groups in Yunnan. It will also be the foundation for Yunnan's prosperity. Treat him When the spring sun shines brightly, the emperor will come to Yunnan again to have a drink and talk with the prince."
Duan Heng sighed: "We said goodbye that day. I miss you very much. Although the emperor is young, he is wise, mighty, and courageous. He is truly the emperor of the ages. General Tian, please tell the emperor that Duan will definitely live up to the emperor's love and kindness. trust."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Tian Xiuyan said with a smile. "Your Majesty, when the general left, the emperor ordered the general to tell the prince something. Although Kunming has been liberated, Kunming still has a long road. Kunming is the Emperor's Kunming. .It is also the Kunming of all ethnic groups in Yunnan.”
"Kunming for the Emperor. Kunming for all ethnic groups in Yunnan." Although he didn't know the meaning of "liberation", he could guess a rough idea. Duan Heng repeated it silently and suddenly laughed. "Haha. Duan understands." .The Emperor’s Holy Ming is worthy of being reborn as a god. Gao Shuai, General Tian. At this time, the sky is already bright. It’s time for Duan to walk out of Tianlong Temple.”
