Nine War Elephants 3

After entering Dali City, Gao Jianming only looked at ease a little, but then check the defeated army that fled into Dali City with Gao Jianming, there were less than 2,000 people left, and most of them were wounded, Jiaozhi general Li Gui and his own general Yang Hui were all killed, think about just a few days ago, he still had more than 30,000 people in the army, and the Song army, as a result, one night's kung fu, was almost wiped out by the Song army, now recall the strong combat effectiveness of the Song army, and the cavalry army like a nightmare, Gao Jianming still shuddered. \\

Therefore, although he entered Dali City, Gao Jianming was still not at ease, and ordered the soldiers to close the four gates of Dali City, defend them tightly, and prepare more bows and arrows, rolling wood and stones and other things to defend the city, in case the Song army came to attack Dali City. Moreover, he ordered that all the people and horses occupied by the Gao clan be transferred to Dali City to gather, and ordered Gao Jianxun to personally go to the Dali tribes that belonged to him, and asked the patriarchs of each tribe to help, and at the same time, he also asked Ruan Chieftain to rush back to Jiaozhi immediately, and asked Jiaozhi to come again to help him deal with the Song army.

But after a few days, I didn't see the Song army to attack Dali City, Gao Jianming was able to endure the temperament, but Gao Jianming's son Gao Jineng was a little breathless, Gao Jineng is twenty-two years old this year, it is the time when the blood is strong, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is very proficient in bows and horses, and he began to fight and kill at the age of seventeen, and he has also made a lot of military exploits, so he is quite arrogant. When he saw that his father was killed so badly by the Song army, he was extremely unconvinced, and asked his father to lead three hundred war elephants out of the city to fight to the death with the Song army, and also save some face for the Gao family.

Although Gao Jianming believes in the combat effectiveness of war elephants very much, he did not dare to let his son go out of the city at this time to fight a decisive battle with the Song army, you must know that at this time there are only more than 10,000 troops in Dali City, these three hundred war elephants are now the last trump card in Gao Jianming's hands, once defeated again, Gao Jianming has really reached the point of no return, and at this time he naturally does not dare to let Gao Ji go out easily.

However, although the Song army did not arrive, there were many lost defeated troops who returned to Dali City one after another, and Gao Jianming's defeated army was collected, and there were four or five thousand more people, but they all lost their armor and their clothes were ragged, no different from calling Huazi, but after all, they were Gao Jianming's soldiers, and after eating two full meals and changing into new clothes, they were energetic again. However, when Song Jun was mentioned, many people couldn't help but tremble.

But in any case, the number of troops in Dali City has increased by thousands, so the security has increased by one percent, and at the same time, Gao Jianming has recruited the errand servants, militia groups, and thugs of large families in Dali City, as well as some young and strong people, and organized them into soldiers, so that four or five thousand people have been gathered, so that the number of troops in Dali City has reached 20,000, so Gao Jianming has a lot of confidence in his heart.

However, more than ten days have passed, and the Song army has not come to attack Dali City, and there is no trace of the Song army outside Dali City, Gao Jianming sent people out to inquire, only to know that since he hid in Dali City, the Song army withdrew and retreated to the river side of the Lishe River. After Gao Jianming knew about it, he couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart, what is Yang Yan going to do? Why didn't you come to attack Dali City, but retreated? Could it be that he has some tricks?

But no matter what, Gao Jianming doesn't dare to take half a step out of Dali City now. However, fortunately, the Song army did not attack, and reinforcements from all over the country finally came to Dali City one after another.

******************************

In fact, not only Gao Jianming didn't understand Yang Yan's intentions, but even the generals in Dali also felt inexplicable about Yang Yan's arrangement.

After the Song army defeated Jiaozhi and Gao's coalition army, they chased Gao Jianming to the city of Dali. Dali monarchs and ministers were even more ecstatic after getting the victory, they couldn't imagine that as soon as Yang Yan arrived in Dali, the victory would come so quickly, and it seemed that the day of Dali's restoration was not far away. At this time, Liu Jianhe gathered more than 5,000 horses in Shicheng County, so he personally led the men and horses that had just been recruited and the other two generals Zhao Yang and Wei Changgui to the Lishe River, preparing to follow the Song army to attack Dali City. At the same time, he also brought some cattle and sheep wine to reward Song Jun.

Who knew that when he arrived at the Lishe River, Liu Jianhe appeared, the Song army actually set up camp on the Lishe River, and the nine pontoon bridges built by the Jiaozhi and Gao's coalition forces on the Lishe River were destroyed, and the remaining seven were still there, and some of the damaged places were also intact with the scriptures, the Song army was stationed on the west bank of the Lishe River, and Liu Renxian and Fan Chang led the Dali army to be stationed on the east bank of the Lishe River, which was exactly the same as the way of the previous Jiaozhi and Gao's coalition army.

Moreover, when Liu Jianhe arrived at the Lishe River, it happened that Liu Renxian was discussing with Yang Yan in the camp of the Song army, and only Fan Chang was in the camp of the Dali army. Liu Jianhe handed over the people, horses, cattle and sheep and wine to Fan Chang to settle down, and immediately took Zhao Yang and Wei Changgui to Yang Yan's camp.

As soon as Liu Renxian heard that his father had arrived, he immediately rushed over to greet him, and happened to meet him on the pontoon. Liu Jianhe frowned and said, "It's all under Dali City, why don't you attack Dali City and retreat here?" ”

Liu Renxian said: "Lord Yang said that Gao Jianming is in Dali City, and the guards are very tight, and if he attacks it, he is afraid that the people and horses will be injured too much, so he will temporarily withdraw to the village here and wait and see what happens." ”

Zhao Yang was a little displeased, and said, "Yang Yan, is this trying to preserve his own strength?" But it missed the fighter. We also planned to come over to reward Song Jun, and he was too much. ”

Liu Ren looked at Zhao Yang first, and stopped talking. Liu Jianhe understood what his son meant, and now that Dali is recovering from the country, he can arrange it as he wants, and no one can control it. Moreover, as soon as Yang Yan arrived in Dali, he won two battles in a row, and Zhao Yang said that this was a bit excessive. Now it's my own person, and it doesn't matter if I talk about it, but I must not say it in front of Yang Yan. So he said to Zhao Yang: "Lord Zhao, Lord Yang must have his reason, we might as well listen to what he said first." ”

Saying that, a few people came to the camp of the Song army, and Liu Fuwu, who happened to pursue the combined forces of Jiaozhi and Gao, also returned to the camp. It seems that Yang Yan intends to stay on the riverside of the Lishe River for a long time.
