Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"The former army is ready!" Gao Liangcheng ordered, "Our troops are sufficient, and the Song army dare not act rashly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scouts sent a report: "Report! Xiangguo, a Song army of about 2000 people is coming towards the middle of our army!"

Gao Liangcheng looked shocked, and hurriedly climbed to the handsome platform.

At this moment, Yan Pei had brought the striker to approach quickly, only a few hundred meters away.

There was no sound of Song army horns, no sound of war drums, not even the sound of charging.

Just like that, Mimi ran over quietly.

"Shameless!" Gao Liangcheng cursed, "Archers get ready! Archers!"

"Xiangguo, the archers are at the front of the Chinese army."

"Add manpower! Increase manpower! Did you hear what I said! Increase manpower immediately..."

Teams of archers rushed forward quickly, and when the front army formation was changed, there was local chaos.

However, there are elite infantry for defense at the front.

However, the elite infantry is not worth mentioning in front of the Song army who wears armor and crossbows.

Song Jun trotted neatly, his footsteps thumping on the ground, surprisingly consistent.

After quickly closing the distance, he trotted and started shooting with crossbow arrows.

The first arrow hit a Dali soldier on the left side of the face and was directly nailed in. His face was pierced and blood spattered.

In just a moment, the rain of arrows swept down like heavy rain.

Such an attack came very quickly.

The former army of the Dali Army was a little caught off guard.

The archers behind were so frightened that they had a stress reaction and immediately began to bend their bows and shoot arrows.

Returning to the previous scene where the two sides were fighting with long-range weapons, the rain of arrows streaked across the air and landed on the armor of the Song army, making dull noises one after another.

Song Jun lowered his head, trying to keep his face away from the rain of arrows falling from above, and the soldiers in the first row only raised their heads briefly when they needed to shoot.

Those sharp arrows hit the armor, although they couldn't penetrate the armor, but as the distance got closer, the place where they were hit still felt pain.

However, this pain soon weakened under the action of adrenaline, and then disappeared.

The distance is rapidly closing, the Dali army has been shot and killed dozens of people, and there is a slight confusion in the local formation.

The Song Army in the first row stopped firing and quickly switched to weapons for hand-to-hand combat.

"kill!"

The sound of shouting and killing sounded.

Yan Pei, who was at the front, hit the temple of the Dali soldier in front with the hammer.

Half of the Dali soldier's head was smashed, and the broken parts flew out following the direction of the hammer.

The Song Jun behind carried iron bones, hammers, and axes, and rushed in one by one like wolves and tigers.

The sound of weapons colliding rang out.

One is wearing iron armor, holding a hammer and an axe, and the other is wearing leather armor, holding a knife and gun.

The situation of the battle became obvious immediately, the Dali army was suppressed and beaten, and they had no power to fight back.

"Xiangguo! Something is wrong! Song Jun came in!"

"My forwards are all elite..." Gao Liangcheng obviously didn't want to admit defeat.

However, there has been commotion in the front of the army formation.

Dali soldiers were constantly being killed, and the screams were extremely desolate.

The people behind were already frightened, and some people started to turn around and run away.

Seeing that the situation is not good for high-volume prejudice, he quickly got on his horse and said hastily: "Quickly withdraw!"

Surrounded by the personal guards, he withdrew from the battlefield. The surrounding army lost the command of the supreme commander, and they also loosened when they heard the screams in front of them.

The scouts rushed to Wu Lin: "Report! Wu Shuai, our forward army has defeated the main force of Dali, and now the enemy's formation is chaotic and they are fleeing!"

"Quick!" Wu Lin shouted loudly, "speed up!"

His passers-by surrounded the forest from the left, and when they passed, the main force of Dali was already frightened.

There is plenty of time left for Wu Lin!

The main force of Dali even completely lost its combat effectiveness. After the Song army appeared, more people began to flee.

Partial routs turned into major routs.

On July [-]th in the ninth year of Jingkang, Gao Liangcheng was defeated in Baozhou.

The Dali Army did not have many dead in battle, most of them were defeated, and a considerable number were captured.

On July [-], the news of the high-volume victory and defeat reached the capital of the Dali King, which caused an uproar in the court of Dali.

A group of civil servants headed by Wen Song wrote at home overnight and wrote several pages, all of which were crimes committed by the Gao family in Dali.

In a word: there is no good person in the Gao family, and Gao Liangcheng is even worse!

In the early morning of July 21st, Duan Zhengxing visited his father Duan Zhengyan.

"Father, Xiangguo's army has been defeated."

"I already know."

"Now there are many high-ranking officials in the city."

"I know that too."

Duan Zhengxing said: "We can just use this opportunity to abolish the Gao family."

Duan Zhengyan said: "No, the Gao family cannot be abolished."

"Why?" Duan Zhengxing looked at his father puzzled, "The Gao family has done a lot of evil in Dali, and even forced the emperor of Dali to abdicate. If it weren't for the people's disapproval of him as the emperor, this society would not be my Duan home."

"You are still too young, the Zhao family will be so kind to help us get rid of the powerful officials?" Duan Zhengyan sighed, and he was grinding the tea by himself.

"Father, what do you mean?"

"It's not too early to make money, what does Zhang Bangchang have to do with you, why did you provoke this incident?"

"He said that the Gao family broke the rules of the emperor and ministers of the Celestial Dynasty, so..."

Duan Zhengyan laughed.

Duan Zhengyan is a very kind person with a gentle personality and a good temper.

But that doesn't mean he's a fool.

On the contrary, he is not only not a fool, he is very smart.

Duan Zhengyan said: "Zhao Guan's family is someone who wants to support him in Dali, let him replace Gao."

Duan Zhengxing was taken aback, and said: "But Zhang Bangchang told me many times that this only involves the etiquette of monarchs and ministers."

"Etiquette is used to standardize the distribution of benefits, not to impress yourself. Ordinary people don't know it, so you should know it." Duan Zhengyan still said slowly, "If the etiquette of the emperor and ministers of the Celestial Dynasty that Zhao Guanjia said can't be brought to him Why does he have to work hard to help us because of the actual interests?"

Duan Zhengxing took a deep breath and said, "I understand what Father means."

His palms were covered with cold sweat.

"Then do we want to refuse Zhao Guan's family to send people to Dali?"

"Reject?" Duan Zhengyan shook his head, "How to refuse? Our most elite soldiers have been defeated by Zhao Guan's Wang Shi, how can we refuse?"

"What should I do?"

"The royal master of Zhao Guan's family can defeat our Dali army, but it is not easy to destroy our Dali country. He will not come to this point easily. He will still cultivate his own people. We preserve the Gao family, that is, preservation can hold back People from the Zhao family, so the Gao family cannot fall, but their power has been weakened, and we need a new balance."

Hearing what his father said, Duan Zhengxing understood instantly.

It turned out that all of this was under the arrangement of my father.

Duan Zhengyan is naturally a qualified monarch, but he doesn't know that Zhao Ning is a rogue emperor.

Chapter 825 Multi-Party Calculations (Third)

After defeating the elite of Dali, Wu Lin sent his troops to Yangzui Baa City, the capital of Dali King.

On July 23, Duan Zhengxing sent an envoy to Song Ying on behalf of the Dali Kingdom, a hundred miles away from the city of Yangzui.

Dali welcomed the Song army with the highest standard.

However, the two sides had just fought a battle, and it was impossible for Wu Lin to go to Yangzui Baa City alone, unless he took the army with him.

It is absolutely impossible for the monarchs and ministers of Dali to agree to take the army.

According to the news sent by the scouts, during this period of time, Dali Royal City has been recruiting young and strong people around.

Even in some places, food is being destroyed.

While Duan Zhengyan sent his son to thank Song Jun, he also secretly set up his defenses.

As long as Song Jun dared to break through the bottom line, he would meet Song Jun in battle.

Don't forget, there is still a group of elites in the capital.

Even if the front is not the opponent of Song Jun, it is possible to fight a protracted war.

Song Jun is most afraid of fighting a protracted war.

Fighting a protracted war in the mountainous country of Dali is hellish mode.

Duan Zhengxing said in suffocated Chinese: "Wu Shuai, I have heard a great name for a long time, and it is like thunder."

His Chinese has a Sichuan flavor of Sichuan, but luckily each of them has an interpreter present.

"We have heard about the noble name of the son of a prince." Yan Pei said.

"Wu Shuai helped us quell the internal chaos. Your Majesty is very grateful and wants to invite Wu Shuai to the capital to have a talk."

"Your Majesty, you are welcome. I am here under the order of the Emperor. As for going to the capital, I am afraid it is not good. After all, I am a son of tens of thousands. Going to the capital will only increase the consumption of your country."

There is something in Wu Lin's words.

He originally had only 5000 people, but Dali Kingdom didn't know that he had only 5000 people.

He even defeated the high-level elite, Wang Du now guesses that he has at least [-] Song troops in his hands.

And Wu Lin also said "it will only increase consumption for your country", which means that I can go to the capital, and tens of thousands of soldiers will also go to the capital with swords.

It's hard to say these words clearly.

But when it comes to this level, Duan Zhengxing has already heard it.

He was also embarrassed to say that you can't bring people there.

If he said that, he more or less intended to trick Wu Lin into murdering him.

Duan Zhengxing just smiled wryly, and said: "Wu Shuai takes care of everything every day, it is indeed inconvenient, and we will not force it."

Yan Pei took over the words, and he said: "Since the prince has come to our camp, it means that the lord of Dali Kingdom has judged Gao Liangcheng to be guilty. Please arrest the Gao clan as soon as possible, and send someone to arrest the fleeing Gao Liangcheng."

Duan Zhengxing said inwardly: "Father is really right, Da Song is going to kill the Gao family."

He, Duan Zhengxing, was dissatisfied with the Gao family on weekdays, naturally not because of personal grievances, but because of power struggles.

With his father's reminder, it is absolutely impossible for him to think about killing Gao Shi.

Duan Zhengxing said: "I will report the truth to Your Majesty when I go back."

Duan Zhengxing left.

Yan Pei asked: "Wu Shuai, what should we do next?"

"Next?" Wu Lin laughed, "Drink and eat meat, and wait for the court's announcement."

This place is already close to the capital of Dali, with beautiful and pleasant scenery. A large amount of luggage has been seized, and a lot of food has been hunted in this area.

What should I do?

Next, Duan Zhengyan gathered his troops near the capital, and at the same time sent his son to the front to withdraw troops.

As for withdrawing troops from the front line?

It is absolutely impossible to withdraw!
