Although Dali was responsible for Master Wang's supplies, he couldn't enjoy it so shamelessly.

Exterminating Nong Zhigao is the reason on the table. Dali has opened the door of convenience, so Master Wang must take action.

Besides, Zhao Xi is also tired of talking to others. If this continues, he will worry about whether he can still speak human words.

Therefore, on the third day after entering Dali, Wang Shi set off.

It’s quite strange that the Song Dynasty’s army was marching in the Dali Kingdom, and they were accompanied by Dali’s army.

"Your Highness, Master Wang is not familiar with the terrain, so why did he refuse the support of soldiers from various families?"

Di Qing wouldn't ask this kind of question, Lu Gongzhu would.

This is the difference between a true military man and a civilian serving in the military.

"The terrain is unfamiliar, but we can become familiar with it. The soldiers are not pure. Once the battle gets intense, or the army is slightly defeated, you can't be sure who their guns will hit."

I only have tens of thousands of soldiers in the hinterland of others. If I let this family add two thousand, and this family will send another three thousand, it will really start a war, and it may be possible for me to blossom internally.

It's one thing for them to be nice and obedient, but it's another thing to send desperate soldiers.

Besides, Zhao Xi is still planning to make a fuss about Yuan Jiang. If they work together to defeat him, it will be unclear in the end.

Different ideas lead to different ways of dealing with problems. Different experiences lead to different ideas.

According to Lu Gongzhu, those who work hard control others, and those who work hard control others.

Since the country is respected, it is qualified to use the soldiers sent by them as spearheads to charge into battle.

And Di Qing is a pure soldier who only trusts his own people.

Zhao Xi had too many twists and turns in his mind. Not only was he thinking about the war, he was also thinking about how to get the copper mine.

From Suiningfu, near Guangnan, to Yuanjiang, the hinterland of Dali, the road is almost full of mountains and rivers.

Although the three families of Dali Kingdom provided supplies, it was impossible for all the tens of thousands of soldiers in the king's division to have mounts.

In order to maintain physical strength, the entire march was very slow.

This approach is a bit shameful, but there is nothing I can do about it... There are no horses, just foot soldiers. I really didn't waste money and food on purpose.

He originally planned to give up food to the enemy, but now they are friendly neighbors and so enthusiastic. Master Wang had no choice but to do so.

Finally unable to resist, two days later, the Dali people as guides led Wang Shi to the river. Boats that could accommodate 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers were prepared.

Hi, it seems that I made a mistake and didn't give the horse because I prepared a boat.

Even if you are going upstream with people working there, it is much faster than going over the mountains.

It was originally planned to be a journey of more than ten days, but five days later we arrived at Yuanjiang, Weichu Mansion in Dali Kingdom.

Along the way, Zhao Xi had not seen any of the larger cities in Dali Kingdom, but here he saw it.

Although the Duan family started out as a member of the Thirty-seven Wuman clan of the Honor Guard, from the Duan family onwards, the Gao family, the Yang family, and the Dong family were all white barbarians, which meant that they had been Hanized to a high degree.

Therefore, it is not surprising to see a city that resembles a dynasty or a city in the Central Plains.

Among these thousands of mountains and rivers, there is such a large plain and such a city, which is really coveted...

Di Qing is a famous general. Since he came into contact with firearms during this period, he has been thinking about the use of firearms in large-scale combat.

Zhao Xi is a prince, and it is inappropriate to command operations in front of outsiders.

This is a siege battle with people watching. It is very likely that under certain circumstances, it will turn into a situation where the four forces of Dali Kingdom besiege the king's army.

Frightened by the rumors of Wang Shi's attack on Annan, Dali lowered its stance in order not to repeat the same mistake. It even welcomed Wang Shi into the hinterland with such respect...

There is a difference between having deep roots and long roots and traveling from south to north.

What seems to be respectful may not necessarily contain evil intentions. Once the battle situation of Wang Shi is unfavorable, the so-called respect will soon turn into ferociousness, and then all parties in Dali will unite to eat Wang Shi.

Even if you don't often speculate on others' malice, everyone can imagine the current situation.

The Song army equipped with firearms, as well as the Song Dynasty's only heir to the unification, famous generals of the Western Army, empresses of famous families, etc., all of them are very important in the Song Dynasty, and any one of them can negotiate with the Song Dynasty if they get it.

In view of the historical style of the Song Dynasty, it is very likely that it will eventually settle down and spend money to buy peace.

The key lies in this battle.

Zhao Xi and the others had discussed it and had considered various possibilities when they met him at the border from Dali.

Okay, let’s let these bumpkins see it!

Just like a regular siege, Di Qing ordered the soldiers to put the built trebuchets into position like they used to siege the city...

"Boom...boom..."

When the stone bombs were projected into the city, there was this continuous sound of explosions...

It was chaotic, it was chaotic all of a sudden. The situation in the city was not clear, and the onlookers were confused first.

The three families of Duan, Gao, and Yang each had one or two thousand soldiers, as well as a lot of cavalry on pony horses. However, when they heard the sound of thunder...the horses were frightened.

It's better to be farther away, otherwise, it will be a joint venture again.

It's okay if you want to watch the fun, but have other thoughts? It depends on whether you have the ability.

It's purely intentional.

That's right, it was intentional. Once the war goes badly, the onlookers following behind are likely to stab you in the back.

Especially the cavalry, which is only a charge away. This makes Zhao Xi feel very unsafe, so he has to keep them away and hide at a distance that makes him feel at ease.

This can't be explained clearly, at least on the surface, everything is quite harmonious. You can't tell people: We're afraid of you stabbing us in the back, so just stay away and watch.

Therefore, based on the effect of gunpowder bombs during a sneak attack on Annan, it was easy to keep this group of onlookers away.

The trebuchet was still the same trebuchet, and the stone bullets were still made of stone. It was just that the stone bullets cracked after being burned, and there were gunpowder bullets stuffed in the middle.

When the second round of gunpowder bombs was launched, the entire Dali Kingdom's cavalry was gone... Very good!

Look at this city again...

The people who were originally densely packed on the city wall were now invisible. The city wall was covered with smoke and dust, and all kinds of screams kept coming.

If we attack the city at this time, it will probably be equivalent to an unguarded city.

The advent of gunpowder bombs not only shocked Annan, but also Dali.

Originally, I just heard that the Song Dynasty had gunpowder bombs to defeat Annan. I had originally imagined it, but I never thought it would be so powerful.

This time, the Dong family is completely finished.

No matter what kind of plan was behind it, no matter how many tricks there were, when the gunpowder bombs of the Song Dynasty were fired, everything was a foregone conclusion.

Zhao Xi really wanted to see the faces of these three onlookers, but unfortunately, they all stayed away.

They were given a grand welcome at the border, supplies were respectfully provided, and even their own girls were treated as gifts.

Who is born to be a bitch? Zhao Xi does not believe that just based on rumors, the powerful forces in Dali Kingdom will be frightened by Master Wang.

Master Wang showed off his power in other people's territory, and was still respected by others... It is absolutely impossible to say that these people in Dali Kingdom have no idea at all.

If you just want to see the situation, let them see it.
