"The front army is ready!" Gao Liangcheng ordered, "We have sufficient troops, the Song army does not dare to act rashly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scouts reported: "Report! Prime Minister, a Song army of about two thousand people is coming towards the middle of our army to kill!"

Gao Liangcheng looked shocked and quickly climbed to the handsome platform.

At this time, Yan Pei was already approaching quickly with his striker, and the distance was only a few hundred meters away.

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

He just ran over quietly.

"Shameless!" Gao Liangcheng cursed, "Archers, prepare! Archers!"

"Xiang Guo, the archers are at the front of the central army."

"Increase manpower! Increase manpower! Do you hear what I say! Increase manpower immediately..."

Groups of archers rushed forward quickly, and when the military formations in front were changing, there was partial chaos.

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

However, the elite infantry was not worth mentioning in front of the Song army who were wearing armor and carrying crossbows.

The Song army trotted neatly, their footsteps thumping on the ground in surprising unison.

After quickly closing the distance, start shooting with the crossbow while trotting.

The first arrow hit a Dali soldier on the left side of his face and was nailed directly in. The facial bones were nailed through and blood spattered.

In just a moment, the arrows fell like heavy rain.

Such an attack comes very quickly.

The front troops of the Dali Army were 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, arrows streaked through the air and landed on the Song Army's armor, making a dull sound.

The Song army lowered their heads and tried to avoid the rain of arrows falling from above. The first row of soldiers only raised their heads briefly when they needed to shoot.

Those sharp arrows hit the armor. Although they could not penetrate the armor, as the distance got closer, there was still pain in the place where they were hit.

However, this pain quickly weakened under the influence of adrenaline and then disappeared.

The distance was quickly closing, dozens of Dali soldiers had been shot and killed, and the local formation was slightly chaotic.

The Song troops in the first row stopped shooting and quickly switched to hand-to-hand weapons.

"kill!"

The cry of killing rang out.

Yan Pei, who was at the front, struck the Dali soldier in front on the temple with a hammer.

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

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

The sound of weapons clashing sounded loudly.

One wore iron armor and held a hammer and an axe, while the other wore leather armor and held a sword and gun.

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

"Xiangguo! Something bad has happened! The Song army has come in!"

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

However, there was already a commotion in the army formation in front.

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

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

The situation was not going well for Gao Qiang. He quickly got on his horse and hurriedly said: "Get out quickly!"

Surrounded by the personal guards, he withdrew from the battlefield. The surrounding armies lost the command of the supreme commander and began to loosen up when they heard the screams in front.

The scouts rushed towards Wu Lin: "Report! Wu Shuai, our forward army has defeated the main force of Dali. Now the enemy's formation is in chaos and is fleeing!"

"Quick!" Wu Lin shouted loudly, "Speed ​​up the pace!"

His group of people outflanked them from the woods on the left. By the time they passed, the main force of Dali was already as frightened as a bird.

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 here, more people began to flee.

The local rout finally turned into a major rout.

On July 14, the ninth year of Jingkang, Gao Liangcheng was defeated in Baozhou.

The Dali army did not die in many battles, most of them were defeated, and a considerable number of them were captured.

On July 20, news of Gao Liangcheng's defeat reached the capital of Dali, causing an uproar in the Dali court.

A group of civil servants headed by Wensong worked hard at home all night and wrote several pages, all of which were about the 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 more evil!

Early in the morning on July 21st, Duan Zhengxing met with his father Duan Zhengyan.

"Father, the Prime Minister's army has been defeated."

"I already know."

"There are many officials in the city who are in high positions now."

"I know it too."

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

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

"Why is this?" Duan Zhengxing looked at his father in confusion, "The Gao family has done many evil things in Dali, and even forced the emperor of our Dali Kingdom to abdicate. If the people were not dissatisfied with the Gao family as the emperor, this country would not be our Duan.

It’s home.”

"You are still too young. Will the Zhao Guan family be so kind to help us get rid of powerful officials?" Duan Zhengyan sighed, grinding tea leaves himself.

"What do you mean, father?"

"If there is no benefit, I won't start early. What does Zhang Bangchang have to do with you? Why did you provoke this matter?"

"He said that the Gao family broke the rules of the emperor and his subjects, 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, not only is he not a fool, he is very smart.

Duan Zhengyan said: "The Zhao Guan family wants to support him in Dali and let him replace the Gao family."

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

"Etiquette is used to standardize the distribution of interests, not to impress oneself. 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 mentioned by Zhao Guanjia cannot be brought to him,

There are actual benefits, why would he bother to mobilize people to help us?"

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

There was a layer of cold sweat on his palms.

"Then are we going to refuse Zhao Guan's family to send people to Dali?"

"Reject?" Duan Zhengyan shook his head, "How to refuse? Our most elite soldiers were defeated by the Wang division of Zhao Guan's family, how to refuse?"

"What should we do?"

"The king's division of Zhao Guan's family can defeat my Dali army, but it is not easy to destroy our Dali country. He will not go to this point easily. He will still cultivate his own people. We can protect the Gao family, but we can only restrain ourselves."

People from the Zhao Guan family, so the Gao family cannot fall, but their power has been weakened, and we need a new balance."

After hearing what his father said, Duan Zhengxing understood instantly.

It turns out that all of this was under the arrangement of his father.
