Chapter 400
After watching them leave, Wu Song summoned all the remaining five thousand soldiers, and nodded as they looked as if they were looking at death.
"Brothers, Wu Song knows that you are the best soldiers of Liang State. You are willing to stay and follow me to fight guerrillas. Wu Song is very grateful to you. From now on, all the brothers have no official ranks. We will endure hardships together and hold on until the day of Liang State's counterattack."
As soon as Wu Song's words fell, all the five thousand soldiers knelt down at him and bowed and shouted: "General Wu, don't worry, even if we fight for this life, we will follow you until we achieve the final victory."
Wu Song came forward in person, helped them all up one by one, comforted them and said, "Brothers, don't worry, even if you are going to die, Wu Song will kneel in front of you. If God has eyes, all of us will not die. By then, when we return to Liang Kingdom, I guarantee that you and your descendants will enjoy wealth and honor for generations!"
"Borrowing the auspicious words of General Wu!"
Five thousand soldiers shouted loudly.
...
Dali State fired five base shells in a row, with nearly 10,000 shells falling on the opposite mountain.
The explosion spread ten miles in a radius, and the smoke and dust were three meters high.
Such a strong explosion would make the enemy an army of 100,000 on the other side, and would instantly turn into dust on the earth.
The King of Dali looked at the scenes in front of him with satisfaction, nodded and said, "Even if the Liang army on this wave of attack is not completely wiped out, at least 90% of the soldiers will die here."
"This is all His Majesty's decision-making. It has been half an hour since the beginning of the shelling. The opponent has not responded. It seems that he should have been killed by our shells."
Dou Yin interrupted at this time, and a proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The King of Dali also laughed and said, "Under such a powerful firepower, the Liang army can still survive, unless it is a heavenly soldier and general."
As he was speaking, the spy stepped forward and knelt in front of the King of Dali, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Liang army began to withdraw its troops as early as the first group of artillery attacks of our army. Our five artillery bombardments killed only 50,000 of them and more than 100 red-clothed cannons. The remaining 50,000 of them, and more than 200 red-clothed cannons were quickly retreating along the mountain road to Guizhou."
When the King of Dali heard this, his brow frowned slightly.
It would be a waste to kill 50,000 people after firing so many shells.
"General, the remnants of the Liang army are now preparing to flee to Guizhou. You personally lead 100,000 people to pursue you. I will then lead the army to respond. Remember, after intercepting the remnants of the Liang army, control the highlands outside the Guizhou city, where do I set up artillery positions and shoot Guizhou city from a high place!"
"yes!"
Dou Yin led the troops.
Soon Dou Yin's men caught up with Guan Sheng and his men and started a charge.
Since most of the Guan Sheng's men were escorting the red-clothed cannons, they could not make any moves to fight, and they were at a disadvantage for a while.
At this moment, the five thousand men led by Wu Song had set up red cannons on the mountain and blasted them at the pursuers of Dali Kingdom.
Dou Yin didn't expect that there were still some remaining soldiers on the mountain, but he had no time to react.
After the first wave of bombardment, a large number of Dali national troops turned into dust on the earth.
The remaining number of people is much smaller than that of Guan Sheng.
Guan Sheng, a counterattack, suppressed the pursuers of Dali Kingdom.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Dou Yin immediately led 300 guards to escape.
Guan Sheng did not pursue him and accelerated the marching speed.
The King of Dali was waiting for Dou Yin's good news on the mountain when he suddenly heard the sound of red-clothed cannons exploded on the opposite mountain, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
Then a small soldier came to report: "Your Majesty, the general led the army to catch up with the remnants of the Liang army. The victory was about to be great. Unexpectedly, there were still soldiers hidden on the opposite mountain. They attacked the general with red-clothed cannons and muskets. The general was defeated and only led 300 personal guards to escape back."
The King of Dali was shocked and asked, "Where is the General now?"
"The general was injured and rested at the foot of the mountain now."
The King of Dali nodded and said, "You escort the general back to Dali to recuperate."
"yes!"
The soldier retreated.
As soon as the soldier left, the deputy general Dou Min stepped forward and bowed to the King of Dali: "Your Majesty, the general is careless, so that the 100,000 troops were annihilated by the Liang Kingdom, causing our army to suffer heavy losses. Such a person is not worthy of becoming a general anymore. Although he is my brother, I still ask Your Majesty to abolish his position as a general!"
The words were said, which surprised the King of Dali.
He stared at Dou Min and smiled slightly: "Deputy General, do you really think I should abolish Dou Yin's position as general? Well, after I abolish his position as general, who do you think can take over this position?"
When Dou Min saw that King Dali's eyes were full of anger, he knew that he was blaming him.
But Dou Min was very calm. He dared to make such suggestions, and he had already felt that he could satisfy the King of Dali.
He smiled slightly and said, "I know that saying such words will arouse Your Majesty's suspicion and think that I have the idea of seizing my brother's power. I can tell Your Majesty here that I do have this idea..."
When the Dali King heard this, he immediately became angry and pointed at Dou Min and shouted: "You traitor, finally said your thoughts. The country is in danger. You don't want to deal with foreign enemies for Dali. You are actually thinking about how to trip your brother to seize the throne. I'm here to tell you clearly that I can't agree to your request!"
Seeing King Dali so angry, Dou Min had no fear on his face.
He smiled faintly and bowed to the King of Dali: "I know that my words will make you angry. But Your Majesty, please don't get angry for the time being. I have a way to deal with Wu Tian for Your Majesty. If Your Majesty is willing to let me replace my brother and become the general of the Dali Kingdom, I will tell Your Majesty this plan. If Your Majesty thinks that my plan is redundant, Your Majesty can execute me now."
"I am contradicting Your Majesty. This is a death sentence, and death is not worthy of mercy."
As he said that, Dou Min knelt in front of King Dali.
The Dali King was silent. Killing Dou Min at this moment was of no benefit to the Dali Kingdom.
On the contrary, it will cause dissatisfaction among the generals of Dali State and even cause military unrest.
The most important thing is that the King of Dali also wants to know what kind of way Dou Min can deal with Wu Tian.
Thinking of this, King Dali's heavy face suddenly disappeared.
He smiled faintly, stepped forward to support Dou Min, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Your dear, don't have to do this. Since you want to serve Dali, there is no reason why I don't allow it. Well, from now on, you will take over your brother's position and become the new general of Dali."
