Dahan Pirate Air Force

The same is true for cavalry shooting. At this time, the arrow rain from the northern people is not so scary, and the command and coordination of the cavalry are not so flexible.

Zhuge Qiao was full of doubts, where did this army come from?However, looking at the flag, it turned out to be Liu.

"Are there any generals from the Liu family leading troops outside?" Zhuge Qiao said to himself strangely.

Guan Xing's focus was different from Zhuge Qiao's. He was a cavalry commander himself. The cavalry in front of him had good tactics and was obviously worth learning from.

His troops use traditional tactics. When encountering the enemy, they attack fiercely and rely on the impact of their horses to break through the opponent's defense line.

In battles, not only the casualties are heavy, but many times the opponent cannot even charge in if there are too many spears or bows and arrows.

The unit in front of you is very special. You can shoot arrows while riding on horseback, which can continuously weaken the opponent. You can break into the enemy camp after finding a gap, and you can retreat safely when the enemy counterattacks.

This method of warfare can advance, attack, retreat or defend. Regardless of the number of men and horses, it is the most suitable and flexible cavalry tactic.

The sight in front of him made Guan Xing dizzy.

At this time, the Gaoding army began to panic, trample on each other, and its command was no longer effective.

The war situation was unfavorable, so he had no choice but to summon his headquarters, hold the commander's flag, and slowly retreat back to the way he came, preparing to regroup.

When Liu Ning saw Gaoding retreating, his cavalry immediately turned back and fired another shot, taking away a wave of lives again.

Guan Xing and Zhuge Qiao also began to reorganize their troops to counterattack.

This time, Gaoding's men really collapsed.

They lost all morale in the fear and fled desperately, throwing off their armor and armor and completely unable to restrain themselves.

Gao Ding tried hard several times, but found that he just couldn't control the army, and he became desperate.

In panic, he retreated miserably, hoping that the camp would still be there so that he could take a breather and then return to the county seat of Yuesi County.

But things didn't work out as he wished. When he saw the camp from a distance, he found that the flags in the camp were already in the style of the Shu Kingdom, and the big flag at the head had the word "Zhuge" in it.

The camp was occupied, and Gaoding had to find another way back to Yuebi County.

Along the way, Liu Ning's cavalry was still attacking his troops repeatedly, and Guan Xing's cavalry was also pressing forward step by step.The rebel forces were shrinking and there was nothing he could do.

What frightened him even more was that he saw soldiers and generals fleeing before his eyes.Among them was the general who had previously suggested that he surrender, but ended up getting slapped and almost losing his life.

It was not until that night that Gaoding finally took advantage of the darkness and escaped into Yueqi County.

He ordered his generals to quickly gather their troops and horses, close the city gate tightly, and then lie down exhausted in the mansion in the county town.

Soon, one of the troops reported that the number of remaining soldiers had been counted. There were only [-] soldiers left in the original [-]-strong army.

Most were lost on the road or escaped.

The only way left is to shrink into the city.

Either wait for the Shu army to run out of food, or send people out of the city to sue for peace.

Gao Ding chose to stick to it without hesitation, because he killed too many people during the uprising and was not sure that Zhuge Liang would let him go.

There is a year's supply of grain in the county city, as well as countless arrow clusters and defense materials, enough to last until the Shu army retreats.

"Guard the four gates and send people to patrol day and night. Anyone who dares to escape across the city will be killed. As long as we hold on for two months, the Shu army will be short of food and will inevitably retreat sooner or later."

After hearing Gaoding's order, the subordinates looked at each other and dared not say anything.

The next day, the Shu army did not launch an attack on the city. They just dug trenches and built forts outside the city, seemingly preparing for a long siege.

On the top of the city, Gao Ding smiled proudly. He pointed to the Shu soldiers and said, "Look, what I expected is true. The Shu troops can only besiege them, and they will eventually run out of food."

After the Shu camp was completed, Zhuge Liang's flag flew high in the middle of the camp.Every day in the camp, smoke curled up from cooking stoves, and the troops and horses rested, but there was no sign of an attack at all.

A few days passed, but Gao Ding lost the original pride and became anxious every day.

Everyone knows that Zhuge Kongming has many scheming plans. Such a quiet and strange battlefield makes people unable to help but worry about whether Zhuge Liang is concocting some terrible plan.

until five days later.

In the early morning, over the city of Yuexi County, more than ten spaceships were suddenly densely distributed in the sky, covering the clear sky.

Just as the defenders had time to report to Gaoding, the city gate due east suddenly exploded.

There was no sign of this explosion, and the sound was extremely loud. In the eyes of Gaoding's subordinates, it was like thunder on the ground.

Thunder struck on a sunny day and damaged the city gate. This was either God's will or magic.

In short, it was going to be over, and everyone in the Gaoding Army was filled with fear.

However, their fears were not over yet.

At the blown-up city gate, two elephants in full armor suddenly appeared.

They came over the ruins, their footsteps shaking the ground constantly, and each followed a group of soldiers behind them.

These soldiers held bamboo shields and lined up neatly to form a complete square protective shield, advancing slowly like a giant turtle.

Some of the rebels were still resisting, and arrows were constantly fired at the Shu army. However, neither the elephants nor the Shu soldiers were injured at all.

The two Shu armies broke into the city and divided into two groups. One group attacked to the north, and the other group attacked to the west and crossed the county.

In the sky, the spaceship began to shoot arrows and throw stones. Although the hit rate was not high, it was shocking.

On the ground, the main infantry of the Shu army, under the command of Zhuge Liang, followed the elephant soldiers and poured into the east gate.

The rebels surrendered so quickly that no one had the heart to resist.

Half a day later, the entire Yuexi County surrendered.

Gao Ding's body was also found. He committed suicide after being surrounded.

The Shu army rested for two more days in Yuexi County, and then returned to Chengdu.

During this period, news came from the Shu army along Ma Zhong's route that Zhu Bao of Xianggao County had also been executed.

At this point, the Nanzhong rebellion was completely put down.

In the whole battle, the Shu army suffered few casualties, only one or two thousand casualties in total.Most of the injured received excellent medical assistance from Yu Ji and others who came specially from Chengdu.

Among them, the surgical operations of the Roman doctor Titus shined brightly, and a large number of wounded soldiers survived because of the rescue. Titus also naturally became a miracle doctor in the army.

On the rebel side, the heads of the three chief criminals, Gao Ding, Yong Kai, and Zhu Bao, were transported back to Chengdu by fast horses.

The total number of soldiers under his command was as many as 1. Zhuge Liang ordered Yang Yi and Ma Di to count them one by one and select more than [-] strong men to stay in the army. The others warned him and let him return home on his own.

Coupled with Meng Huo's surrender and the arrival of Liu Ning's cavalry, the Shu army did not decrease but increased after the war, adding more than [-] elite troops.

Zhuge Liang was so satisfied that he immediately wrote a letter to Chengdu to report his victory.

Zhang Bai handed Gaoding's headless corpse to Gong Dunyang and Jiao Yi for disposal. Jiao Yi whipped the corpse and burned it, releasing all his evil spirits.

Jiao Yi's biological father was Jiao Huang, who was killed by Gao Ding back then. Now that his great revenge was finally avenged, he was filled with gratitude to Zhang Bai.

This made Zhang Bai feel good again.

......

The news of Zhuge Liang's great victory in the southern expedition shocked the entire Shu Kingdom, and the nobles no longer dared to look down on the Shu Han.

This news quickly crossed the border and reached Wei and Wu. It also shocked the two countries and caused a series of changes.

In Wei State, Cao Pi knew that time was running out, so he immediately stepped up preparations for the southern expedition. He even left Beijing in person and went south to inspect the preparations of the naval army.

In the State of Wu, the names of generals in Zhuge Liang's southern expedition were constantly mentioned, including Yang Yi, Ma Su, Guan Xing, and even Meng Huo, Liu Ning, Huo Yi, Zhao Guang, etc.

But among them, there are two people who are most special, because both of them have a great relationship with Wu Guo.

One is Zhuge Qiao and the other is Zhang Bai.
