Chapter 815: The Fall of the Dali Duan Clan
Dianchi Lake.
"Virtuous son-in-law, it's up to you!"
King Liang said to a general beside him with an expectant expression.
"Don't worry, the king can rest assured, I have this elephant array, why am I afraid of the thief army, more than 10,000 thieves also want to peep into Yunnan, it's just beyond my strength, what about firearms, don't you have firearms and flee in defeat?"
His son-in-law Duan Gong said.
Of course, the actual situation is that King Liang was beaten out of Kunming by Wansheng, and then fled to the nearby mountains to hold on, as the Yuan Dynasty's Dali governor Duan Power led the Duan family's arms, using their familiarity with the mountainous terrain to constantly attack the transportation line from Zhaotong to Kunming. At the same time, he took advantage of the resistance of officials and people in various places to the Central Plains Dynasty to strengthen the walls and clear the wilderness, after all, it has not belonged to the Central Plains Dynasty for more than 500 years since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, even if the Kunming area was actually originally Han Chinese, it has long had no affinity for the Han regime.
Wansheng with tens of thousands of troops in the Dianchi area could not raise enough food, the rear was already difficult thousands of miles of transportation lines and intermittent, and finally had to choose to retreat, and then they carried out a pursuit, but was beaten by Wansheng's guards and then withdrew, and finally Wansheng safely withdrew from Yunnan, and because of the success of this battle, King Liang also married his daughter to him.
Originally, in history, he was quickly poisoned by King Liang.
After all, the Duan family is bigger, and it is not a good thing for the King of Liang, because of this, when the Ming army attacked Yunnan in the original history, the Duan family did not save the King of Liang again, and then the King of Liang was defeated and committed suicide, and the next year Dali was also conquered by the Ming army, and the last leader of the Duan family, Duan Ming, surrendered, and the Duan family of Dali completely ended their history.
Of course, now they are still in love with their sons-in-law.
At this moment, their 50,000 allied troops with 100 war elephants as the core have completed the encirclement of the Song army's forward.
50,000 surrounds 5,000.
Fang Mingshan led the forward of the 5,000 Song army, because of the greed for merit, the main force in the rear was stretched for dozens of miles, and then surrounded by Duan Gong, who used the advantage of the mountains to ambush the troops, it is said that in the environment of Yunnan, the latter as the home field is easy to do.
Otherwise, how could Duan Gong be so confident!
What's more, this is still 5,000 infantry, and they not only have thousands of elite Mongolian cavalry, but also a full hundred war elephants, which they bought at a high price after encountering Wansheng's sharp firearms, and made Si Khan pay a high price to Ping Burma, the latter is the emperor of northern Burma, and the main control area is in Ruili.
"Dali's warriors, attack!"
Duan Gong urged him to step forward and shouted with a wave of the knife in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, the elephants in front of them urged their war elephants, these behemoths also had armor on their bodies, and it was thickened armor, and with their thick skin, they still had some defense against bullets, which they had tested with their captured flintlock pistols. At this moment, a hundred of these elephants are slowly advancing side by side along the upward mountain, and on the back of the elephants, one by one the elephants are holding bows, arrows and spears, and they even look like a copycat version of the Lord of the Rings, of course, it is only a copycat version, after all, these elephants are too small. On the flanks of these war elephants were the Mongolian cavalry, they did not attack, the Song army was trapped on a lonely hill, and it was difficult for the war horses to run, so the cavalry blocked its breakthrough more, and the real responsible for the attack was the elephant array and the dense infantry behind.
Duan Gong watched with great ambition as his decisive killers slowly moved forward, constantly closing the distance between them and the Song army's defense line.
And the diversion attack from other directions also began.
This small hill against the backdrop of the mountains, but it seemed to be silent as if no one was there, and all that could be seen was a low wall, which the Song army hastily built, but this line of defense was meaningless, because it was at most chest-high and only a random accumulation of logs, dirt, and rocks.
Not to mention blocking the war elephants, even the infantry can't stop them at all.
"A bunch of idiots!"
He said disdainfully.
Almost at the same time, dozens of fires suddenly flashed on the low wall, and before he could react, with a thunderous sound that reached his ears, among the war elephants that were moving forward, there were more than a dozen war elephants that let out painful screams, and then fell one after another, and at the same time several flames exploded in the elephant herd, although they did not kill the nearby elephants, but led to even more terrible results, those war elephants who were already frightened by the sound of cannons turned around in confusion in the flames of the explosion, no matter how hard those elephant slaves on their backs tried, There was no one to move forward, and all the war elephants quickly changed from forward to backward.
Behind them were a dense mass of infantry.
"Quick, block them!"
Duan Gong immediately let out a frightened scream.
And at the same time, the second round of fire shone on the low wall, and the muffled thunderous noise, especially the few flames that exploded again, like a command, urged the war to run like madness, and then crashed into the infantry that had not been able to disperse, and began to ravage like a herd of wild boars that had broken into a wheat field. However, Duan Gong didn't care about this anymore, he was looking blankly at the top of his head, there was a piercing whistling sound above his head, his head turned with this whistling sound, and suddenly turned to the old man who was pressing further behind. The latter was also looking up blankly above his head, and the next moment His Royal Highness King Liang turned into a cloud of blood mist, and at the same time, a cloud of blood mist exploded among the soldiers guarding him around him, and black balls bounced up with splashes of dirt, and then knocked those cavalrymen into a splatter of flesh and blood.
"King!"
Duan Gong screamed in horror.
On the two flanks of the Song army's defensive line, the infantry responsible for the feint attack also entered a distance of less than ten zhang, and the dense firelight shone on the low wall, and the infantry who were attacking in a dense formation on the mountain immediately fell in pieces, and the dead bodies piled up in an instant.
The next moment, the infantry behind them, like those war elephants, turned around with panic and screams, that is, at the same time as they completed their U-turn, the second round of fire on the low wall behind them began, and these infantry who tried to escape also fell in pieces like the previous ones, and then those behind them collapsed instantly. Nearly 20,000 feints of infantry were like ducks chased by hounds, ramming and pushing in confusion, and even trampling on each other and desperately fleeing down the mountain, and at the same moment the main frontal attack had collapsed. Amid the constant sound of artillery behind them and the flames that continued to explode around them, those war elephants ran and trampled wildly among the infantry, bringing up a splash of flesh and blood, while the shells that had a range of more than two miles kept falling on the cavalry that was still trying to block forward.
The brave Mongol warriors were also blinded, and they continued to fall under the shells, and soon even they began to rout.
The drama of defeat was staged like this.
And they didn't even kill a single enemy, in fact they didn't even get close to the low wall.
Duan Gong wanted to cry and watched this scene without tears.
Unbeknownst to him, however, this was only the beginning of his nightmare, because at this moment, a figure in the sky above him was beginning to dive, and the speed of the dive was getting faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, with a loud noise, it crashed into the striking sound cone in front of him. When he heard the loud sound of the sonic boom, the figure had already appeared in his field of vision, and he looked at the sky in amazement, watching the golden figure suddenly reach in front of him, and then slammed into the defeated Mongol cavalry with a terrifying loud sound. The next moment, like a ploughed ground, a deep ravine appeared in the Mongol cavalry, and with the extension of the ravine, all the Mongol cavalry in front and on both sides turned into fragmented parts, and sprayed out with blood mist to the side front......
What are the consequences of a rocket with five times the speed of sound passing two meters overhead?
That's the consequence.
This is also a new method developed by Yang Feng to deal with a large area of heavy formations, accelerate himself to five times the speed of sound, and then fly over the target's head at an ultra-low altitude, the huge noise and terrifying air pressure impact will create a perfect death zone for him, and he doesn't even need five times the speed of sound, even if it is a distance of one times the speed of sound, the people below will suffer heavy injuries and even die, and permanent deafness is the least worth mentioning.
He is not even needed to decompose the human body.
In this way, like a demon harvesting death, he passed through the fleeing Mongol cavalry at a height of less than four meters above the ground, leaving behind a terrifying death belt, which was directly smashed into a blood mist, torn apart by the air pressure impact, and shocked to death by the huge noise, all scattered on both sides of the ravine that was also ploughed like a paving road, and the blood mist was still filling the sky.
He turned to Dianchi and made a turn there, then slammed into the middle of them again amid the screams of the remaining frightened Mongol cavalry, and then in the blink of an eye he pierced and pulled up sharply, completing the turn over Dianchi.
Then crashed into it for the third time.
……
Duan Gong was so frightened that he had already dismounted from his horse and lay on the ground like a god.
The fleeing infantry also knelt on the ground.
Even they didn't dare to continue to escape, even if those war elephants were still running away in confusion, and even trampling over them, they didn't dare to get up, everyone silently trembled and lay on the vast plain on the shore of Dianchi Lake, silently waiting for the judgment of the gods.
After ten penetrations, Yang Feng stopped.
Dressed in golden armor, he proudly suspended in the sky, and the ravines below him crisscrossed like a chessboard, and on this chessboard, the dead corpses of five thousand Mongolian cavalry and war horses, the fragments of dead corpses, and the blood mist that could not disperse for a long time formed a picture of hell. Only about a hundred survivors, who were completely deaf, stood in a daze in this flesh hell, their eyes glazed over, like the walking dead, in fact they were indeed walking dead, because they had been shaken into fools, and the destructive force of the loud bang caused by five times the speed of sound was not only deafening, but also permanently damaging to the brain.
"Where is the Lord of the Duan Clan?"
Yang Feng shouted majestically in mid-air.
"Duan Gong asks the gods to forgive sin."
Duan Gong trembled and crawled forward, and then said tremblingly.
"Cut yourself! The Duan family can be exempted, but the land of Dali is no longer owned by the Duan family, and the descendants of the Duan family have moved to the mainland, so can the Gao family be there? ”
Yang Feng shouted.
"Gao Mingshou, the pseudo-head of Yao'an Road, knocks on the gods!"
One of the generals shouted cautiously with a few steps on his knees.
"Take Ru to temporarily replace the Yunnan Xuanfu envoy, help Yunnan to make Fang Guoying clear the Tartars in the territory, pacify the captives in various places, and send the Duan clan to the north, and hand it over to the King of Xia to be sent to Yingtian, and those who dare to disobey will be punished!"
Yang Feng said.
Yunnan is nothing more than Duan Gao two, the Gao family is still in line with his aesthetics, originally in history even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Gao family has been following Yongli until fleeing into Burma, and finally really unable to return to the sky but is ashamed to surrender to the Qing, so he passed the position to his son and then became a monk, his son surrendered to the Qing army in Tengchong. Supporting the Gao family to fight the Duan family, this is a trick that Yang Feng played in the Song Dynasty, at this time the Gao family was weak and the Duan family was strong, with the help of the Gao family to quickly stabilize the place and move the Duan family lineage inward, the Gao family's strength was insufficient and could only rely on the mainland court and exist, first beat those Tusi, especially those in northern Myanmar, and then when the new emperor was elected, he could reform the land in Yunnan.
As for Fang Guoying, he would lead this expeditionary force to be stationed in Yunnan temporarily, and his army was actually composed of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, plus the Chen family in Annam, just to form a complete trade route, so that the closed inland Yunnan obtained a stable and smooth passage to the sea, and even developed to the Irrawaddy River, paving the way for the maritime trade of the southeastern coastal forces.
In fact, at this time, Mengqing in Yunnan Province, a few Xuanwei Divisions of Golden Teeth, have almost included most of modern Myanmar, and 800 Xuanwei Divisions have even reached Chiang Mai, Thailand, and then the Ming Dynasty also controlled this area, and it was not until the Jiajing period that these places were gradually lost. Yang Feng's goal was to make the southeast coast driven by the interests of maritime trade, and through the support of Yunnan, to achieve complete control of the Indochina Peninsula by sea and land, and to advance the territory of China all the way to the northern shore of the Strait of Malacca. Then radiate to the islands of the South Seas, and even expand across the mountains to the South Asian subcontinent to turn the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau into the interior, and then, as he did in many time and space, let the people there live a simple and ancient life under the light of the Buddha's brilliance!
Anyway, as long as Yunnan Road is opened, there will be no need for trade routes there.
"Obey the oracle!"
Gao Mingshou said with surprise.
"Still not self-judged? If you do it yourself, you will be punished for eternity in Hell, right? ”
Yang Feng shouted at Duan Gong very ferociously.
Duan Gong trembled and kowtowed to him, and then knelt there to pick up his knife, and around him, none of the tens of thousands of Duan family generals and soldiers dared to move, all of them honestly knelt there and maintained a posture of kowtowing, anyway, it was just to move the Duan family's descendants inward, although their surnames were Duan, they had little to do with the Duan family's lineage, and they were also old acquaintances with Gao Mingshou, even if Duan Gong died, they would not be affected in any way.
Duan Gong looked around sadly, and finally put the knife across his neck.
"Duan Gong leads to death!"
He said slowly.
Then he pulled his neck......
