Chapter 485: Divine soldiers descend from heaven
Hu Dun's heart sank and he said: "Longshan, come in and talk about something."
After entering, Longshan said: "Report, Commander-in-Chief, that there are enemy troops at the north gate. Judging from the flags, they are the rebels of Sariwei."
"Relic fear." Hu Dun said. "How many people and horses are there."
"About three or four thousand people, both on foot and on horseback."
Hudun sneered and said: "Come here, pass the order. Keep every door tight. No one is allowed to leave the city without permission from me. Longshan. Go and inform Mr. Saidianchi and Mr. Duan Shi, the general manager." .”
"Yes. General Mo will go right away."
"Generals, follow me to meet the enemy. Hudu, Duan Li. I will settle accounts with you after I take off Sariwei's head."
Outside the north gate, 3,000 Mongolian cavalry and 2,000 Dali infantry were lined up under the command of Hudun and Duan Qing. Looking to the north, I saw a general leading the opposite, holding a spear and wearing a mask on his face. He was wearing a mask. Although he was wearing battle armor, his head was bare. One look at this attire revealed that this person was none other than Relic, who was called the demon monk by the Mongols.
A few years ago, Shariwei launched a riot that swept the entire Yunnan. At that time, Kudun was just a small captain of thousands. During the suppression of the riot by Shariwei, he was promoted to captain of ten thousand by Kublai Khan for his repeated military exploits. And became the supreme military commander of Dali Road in Mongolia.
Hudun, who was in the middle, raised his sword upside down and said to Duan Dong on the opposite side: "Sariwei, you are really haunting. A few years ago, you incited hundreds of thousands of people to rebel. Today, you still dare to appear under Dali City. You are brave enough." It’s just so brainless.”
Duan Donglou laughed loudly and said: "Hudun. Back then, you had an army of 100,000 to encircle and suppress the poor monk. Isn't the poor monk still living well today? The reason why God did not accept the poor monk was because he wanted to take your head. Hudun. Don't waste any more words. Do you dare to fight with a poor monk?"
Hu Dun looked around and said, "Which general is willing to fight?"
Hudu said: "Commander, I am finally willing to go to war and take the head of the demon monk to atone for my sins."
Suddenly he gave a gracious expression and said: "The relics are afraid of extraordinary martial arts. Be careful."
Suddenly Dudu said happily: "Yes. Marshal."
He raised his horse and drew his gun. Suddenly he rushed to the front of the formation and shouted loudly: "Sariwei, you monster monk has caused trouble in Dali for several years. Today, I will let your Grandpa Hudu do justice for heaven and take your dog's life."
"Hudu, you, a defeated general, are brave enough to speak out." Duan Donglou said as he raised his spear.
Suddenly Dudu sneered: "Look at the gun."
In an instant, the war horses crossed each other, and the two spears were like dragons emerging from the water. They fought in one place.
Duan Donglou was originally a knight errant. When he was young, he had a feud with the Diancang sect, which was the largest sect in Dali at that time. Fortunately, the third prince Duan Heng came forward to resolve the issue. He felt grateful for Duan Heng's kindness and became Duan Heng's personal bodyguard for fifteen years. Formerly, after the Mongolian general Wu Lianghetai occupied the Dali Kingdom, Duan Donglou disappeared together with Duan Heng. Six years ago, Duan Donglou changed his name to Sariwei and gathered people as a monk to fight against the Mongols. It lasted for one and a half years and finally failed.
In recent years, Duan Donglou has been practicing the art of horse fighting hard and has become a great master.
Kudu was strong with his spear and was good at horse fighting. Although his skills were slightly inferior, he was not inferior at all. After the two of them fought for close to Lily, Kudu gradually felt that Sariwei's physical strength was not enough. Although his marksmanship was not chaotic, Shou was still able to fight. Attack more and attack less.
Hu Dun and Duan Qing, who were watching the battle, were both masters. Naturally, it could be seen that Sariwei's marksmanship was already on the defensive.
"This demon monk turned out to be an embroidered pillow. It looks good but is useless. Although his marksmanship is very good, it has no lasting power." Kudu thought while speeding up his attack speed. The more he fought, the braver he became.
Duan Donglou is known as the best master in Dali Kingdom. His skill is still higher than that of Hudu and others. It is not difficult to make his opponent believe that he is exhausted.
After fighting for more than thirty rounds, Duan Donglou showed his weakness, turned the horse's head and ran towards his own camp.
Suddenly everyone was excited to fight and eager to atone for his sins. He would not miss this opportunity. He clamped his legs and chased forward. Duan Qing, who was rushing through the formation, did not suspect that Duan Donglou was deceitful in retreating. He raised his sword and said loudly: "Commanders, charge."
Following Hudun, three thousand Mongolian soldiers rushed out and rushed forward.
Unexpectedly, just after rushing a few dozen steps, I heard the sound of war drums on the city wall behind me. The drums were beating as fast as a military order. But it was not an order to charge, but an order to retreat. Although the Mongolian soldiers were brave, they had strict military discipline. As soon as they heard the sound of drums, they all reined in their horses. Even Hudu, who was at the front, stopped pursuing. Under the command of Hudun and Duan Qing, they slowly retreated.
Duan Donglou was stunned when he saw Hudun suddenly retreating. He thought to himself, "We have failed. It seems we can only implement the second plan."
As the commander-in-chief of Dali Road in the Yuan Dynasty, Hu Dun could not take Duan Shi seriously, but he had to be controlled by Pingzhang Sai Dianchi, the highest official in Dali Road. When he returned to the city, Hu Dun said : "Sir, that relic is obviously not the enemy of our army. Why did he beat the drum and retreat?"
Sai Dianchi? Fansi Ding snorted and asked: "General Hudun, Nasariwei knows well that he is not the enemy of our army. Why did he come to attack Dali City? You have been on the battlefield for a long time. Why are you so confused?"
"this......"
"Today Shanchan Mansion has been lost. According to my judgment, it is not just as simple as Sariwei's rebellion. At this juncture, Sariwei led his people to attack Dali City. There must be a conspiracy and something to rely on."
Hudun thought for a while and suddenly broke into a cold sweat and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to express my gratitude to you. I will report this matter to the imperial court immediately."
Sai Dianchi? Fansi Ding sneered and said: "General Hudun, if this officer does not expect, there are enemy troops stationed outside every gate of Dali City, and they are regular troops from the Southern Dynasty. In short, we are surrounded. Already."
After a while, several scouts sent by Duan Shi to gather information returned from various gates of Dali City and said: "Sir, there are Song troops stationed about five miles outside each city gate."
Duan Shi said: "Have the scouts who went out from Erhai and Cangshan mountains in the north and south of the old city come back?"
"Go back to the manager. No. He must have left successfully."
"Okay. They will go north as quickly as possible to ask for help in western Sichuan." Saidian Chi? Siding said: "General Hudun, strengthen the defense of each gate. We will make plans after we have a clear understanding of the enemy's situation."
"Yes, sir."
As soon as Duan Donglou returned to Yongpingpo, five miles away, he immediately reported to Gao Dahui: "Commander Gao, the final general failed. Hu Dun had already fallen into the trap. Unexpectedly, an order to withdraw his troops suddenly sounded in the city. Hu Dun immediately withdraw troops."
"It seems that the people guarding the city are quite careful." Gao Dao said. "Xiu Yan. Every city gate has been surrounded."
"Gao Shuai. The encirclement was completed last night."
"Okay. Pass the order. Each army will rest for an hour. Then they will take turns launching feint attacks towards Dali City to tire them out."
At the end of the day, the Yuan army guarding the city was exhausted. There was a little peace at one city gate. The Song army was found at another city gate. The Yuan army, which had not fought for several years, was obviously not very adaptable to such high intensity. They fought continuously. However, the Song army attacking the city relied on its large number of people and its morale was high. It was still in high spirits.
After nightfall, the Song army attacking the city continued to bombard Dali City from time to time. Although they lost their accuracy, the stones emitted by the trebuchet still made the defenders fearful and did not dare to sleep. It was not until about midnight that the trebuchet stopped. launched.
We just arrived at Mao hour (five o'clock in the morning). On the cliff of Cangshan Mountain to the west of the old city of Dali, a troop dressed in black appeared vaguely. The number of this troop was about 500, and all of them were strong and strong. The troop in black was even They are expert climbers selected from tens of thousands of troops. The leaders are none other than Tian Xiuyan and Duan Donglou.
The west wall of the old city of Dali is close to Cangshan Mountain. The distance is less than 30 meters. The narrowest point is only more than ten meters. The peaks in this area are full of cliffs. They are bare and there are no branches to borrow. It is difficult for ordinary people to climb. Climbing.
Following the ropes, five hundred soldiers quietly slid down from the top of the mountain under the cover of darkness. They were like divine soldiers descending from the sky. Then, a group of soldiers crawled forward and slowly came to the base of the city wall. In Tian Xiu Under the leadership of Yan, more than 30 people in front simultaneously threw the flying claws in their hands and placed them on the edge of the city wall. Although the flying claws were made of metal, they were covered with a thin layer of velvet and made very little noise. Immediately, Tian Xiuyan and Duan Donglou gathered their energy and concentration and climbed up first.
Most of the Yuan troops guarding the city were concentrated at the city gates. There were very few guards on the west wall of the old city, and they were all Dali troops. In the early morning, the hundreds of Dali soldiers guarding this section were all half lying on the ground, dazed. The earth is dreaming of sweet dreams.
Although Hudun in the commander's residence was as tired as all the soldiers, he was tossing and turning while lying on the bed. He always felt that something was about to happen. At about a moment, Hudun simply got up from the bed and got up from the bed. Walked out of the back room.
"Longshan."
"Commander, what's the matter?" said the guard captain Longshan who was sleeping outside.
"Follow me and walk around."
"Yes." The sleepy Longshan responded.
Tian and Duan were both highly skilled in martial arts. After climbing up the city wall, they immediately killed the sleeping garrison soldiers.
According to the plan, this team in black will first eliminate the enemies on the city wall. Then they will go to the south gate and find a way to open it. The main force of the Song army outside the south gate is the 106th Army and the 10th Army commanded by Lou Anbang. The Seventh Army has a total of 5,000 people. These 5,000 people are the main force of the Sichuan Military Region. They have not participated in the daytime siege battles. Instead, they are waiting for work. Their task is to rush into the city after the south gate is opened.
More and more Song soldiers climbed up the city wall. Although many of the soldiers guarding the city were awakened, they were all killed by the Song army in a daze. The occasionally fierce enemies also died in the fields. Under the sword of two people.
Seeing that almost all the enemies on the city wall had been slaughtered, Tian Xiuyan said: "General Duan, please quickly lead teams one to four to the south gate. I will lead the fifth team to intercept the rear."
"Okay, General Tian. Be careful."
Duan Donglou had just left. More than 30 fully armed Mongolian soldiers surrounded Hudun and walked towards the west city wall.
"Eh, it's not good. It smells like blood." When approaching the west city wall, Kudun, who had quick reactions, shouted hurriedly.
