Ming Zuo

Chapter 1586
Between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, Dali is so beautiful.

But whether it was Mu Tianbo, Sun Kewang, Sha Dingzhou, or Tang Jiajie, they all had no intention of appreciating it.

Eliminating their opponents and dominating Yunnan is what they desire most.

The two armies surrounded Dali and began to compete.

Mu Tianbo and Sun Kewang came from the north and occupied Shangguan Town on the north shore of Erhai Lake.

Sha Dingzhou had lost a few games before and was a little frightened, so he hid in Xiaguan Town on the south bank and relied on the surrounding mountains for defense.

"Mu Guogong, I need your advice on how to fight this battle."

Sun Kewang is an outsider and is not familiar with the situation in Yunnan.Fortunately, there is a local Mu Tianbo, who is not considered blind.

But regarding Sun Kewang's expectations, Mu Tianbo's scalp was a little numb.

He is a prince, how can he fight wars?

He is not Muying, who has been pampered and pampered for generations, and will only eat and wait to die.

He might not be able to return to Kunming and continue to be the king of Yunnan. It all depended on this battle, so Mu Tianbo had to rack his brains.

"Only the west bank of Erhai Lake is flat, which can allow the army to pass through. However, the area around Xiaguan Town has been occupied by Shading Island, so it may not be easy to take it down. If you want to catch someone by surprise, you should climb over the mountains to the west. There is a valley road there, you can go around to Xiaguan Guan Zhen's back. At that time, we will attack from both sides, and we will be able to overcome all competitions."

When Sun Kewang heard it, Duke Qian could do it, and he knew the art of war very well.

"Since this is the case, I will divide an army and ask the Duke to lead it himself."

Mu Tianbo had already spoken, so it was naturally impossible to pull back at this time.

"Please rest assured, general, I will definitely not miss the battle."

Facing the menacing Mu Tianbo and Sun Kewang, Sha Dingzhou was not idle either.

"We have too few soldiers and horses. If we keep guarding here, we may make some mistakes. I intend to entrust the defense of this place to you, and personally lead the elite to attack Chen Guanying."

After all, Sha Dingzhou came out of the mountains, and his ability to grasp information is far superior to that of Mu Tianbo.

He has found out that Mu and Sun Lianjun's food and grass are hoarded in Chen Guanying.

And this place is a full twenty miles away from Shangguan Town.

Mu and Sun's coalition forces had no cavalry and could not provide timely support.As long as the food and grass in Chen Guanying were burned, the battle would be won.

Hearing that he was going to be left alone in Xiaguan Town, Tang Jiabin murmured a little.

"My army is small, if Mu Tianbo rushes by himself, I can't stop him."

The meaning is also very obvious, if the front is about to collapse, the sneak attack of Sha Dingzhou will be meaningless.

Sha Dingzhou also knew that Tang Jiabin was unreliable, so he had a headache for a while.

Wan Shi had an idea on the sidelines.

"You can leave the elephant soldiers behind. The Great Western Army is coming from the north. They have never seen elephants before, so they will definitely be hard to resist."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was overwhelmed.

In the war in Yunnan, elephants are an important weapon.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Meng Huo already knew how to train elephants to fight against Zhuge Liang.

Of course, this thing is useless in places with wide terrain, after all, it is clumsy and has limited stamina.In addition to being tall and mighty, it is easy to reveal his secrets.

But in this narrow area of ​​Yunnan, lining up the elephants is enough to push any enemy flat.

Shadingzhou has raised many elephants, but they have been staying in Mengzi before, and they were recently transferred.

In order to win, he also cherished himself and handed over these elephants to Tang Jiabin.

Both sides have come up with ways to eliminate each other, and they are all full of confidence.

After Mu Tianbo set off, Sun Kewang tried to go south along the Erhai Lake to attack Xiaguan Town.

There were few Tang guests, so they simply set up defenses along the Xi'er River, just to prevent Sun Kewang from crossing the river.

At the same time, both sides dispatched troops and horses and took small boats to fight in Erhai Lake.

As a result, the wind was howling that day, and the waves in Erhai Lake were rolling.Before the two sides fought, many ships were overturned by the waves.

Many of Sun Kewang's soldiers are from the north, and they are not familiar with water at all. They can't control the boats at all, and they can only resign themselves to fate.

Tang Jiabin's team is not much better.

After sinking ten ships, those who were still alive fled in haste.

Anyway, it was on the water, and Tang Jiabin couldn't see it, so he wasn't afraid of being punished.

These people ran to the east side of the Erhai Lake and hid in a place sheltered from the wind, planning to wait until the wind stopped before returning to work.

Cold and hungry, they collected some mushrooms nearby to make soup.

The soup made from fresh mushrooms was extremely delicious, and everyone laughed happily after drinking it.Especially with all kinds of beautiful scenery in front of me, it seems to be in heaven.

So they really went to heaven.

Only [-]% of the soldiers Sun Kewang sent to sneak attack from the waterway escaped in the end.

Seeing the loss of so many soldiers and horses without a battle, Sun Kewang couldn't help feeling his scalp tingle, and quickly ordered the withdrawal of troops.

But seeing Sun Kewang's retreat and chaotic formation, Tang Jiabin swelled up.

He decides that it is better to pursue the poor bandits with Remnant Yong.

He ordered all the elephants to be sent out as the vanguard of the whole army.

As long as Sun Kewang is defeated in the first battle, he will be more or less number one in Yunnan, even if he can't surpass Shadingzhou.

Dozens of elephants swarmed out, and the scene was extremely spectacular, which really scared the Great Western Army.

Just when the Daxi army was tingling and didn't know how to deal with these behemoths, a fierce flood suddenly rushed down from the upper reaches of the Xi'er River.

Originally, the Xi'er River was very shallow, and elephants could wade through it.As a result, the river surged, and the elephant couldn't resist the power of heaven and earth, and more than half of it was swept away on the spot.

Tang Jiabin stood on the shore like a wooden chicken, looking at the messy battlefield, everyone was numb.

At this point in the battle, Sun Kewang and Tang Jiabin had nothing to do, so they could only count on Mu Tianbo and Sha Dingzhou to win by surprise.

What is Mu Tianbo doing?

he's lost.

When he crossed Cangshan Mountain, it went smoothly, but he happened to encounter heavy rain and fog on the way.In addition, the valley is winding and winding, and you can't distinguish things, so you can't find the north.

Mu Tianbo was still very confident, thinking that as long as he walked down the valley, he would definitely be able to get around to Xiaguan Town.

As a result, when the town was discovered seven days later, people were dumbfounded.

It turned out that they turned their direction in the mist and headed north all the way to Misha Well.

The food and grass they carried were also eaten up, and the entire team was exhausted and completely lost their combat effectiveness.

Compared with him, Sha Dingzhou is not lost.

Sha Dingzhou led his troops around Jizu Mountain without being discovered all the way.

But just as he was happily drilling into the valley of Luoliu River, he encountered a mountain torrent from the upper reaches.

The terrain in the valley was narrow, and there was nowhere to hide, and everything was swept away by the flood.

Sha Dingzhou was still rescued by his subordinates desperately, and he narrowly escaped the catastrophe by catching him on a tree.

Seeing thousands of elites buried in Hong Tao, Sha Dingzhou cried and fainted several times.

Seven days later, the situation of the battle was sent to the Southwest Strategic Group Headquarters. The generals of the National Defense Forces read the details and all began to doubt life.

What's the point of fighting against such an opponent?
