Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2330 A coordinated attack from within and without, annihilating the principle in one battle.

Although Bai Qi was able to lead an army of 150,000 men this time, it did not change the fact that he was still quite far from the top ranks of the Han Dynasty in terms of both official position and title.

There are some secrets that he is not yet qualified to know.

However, Bai Qi had already led 150,000 troops to conquer the Dali Dynasty, thus opening a breakthrough in the Guanxi Road.

Therefore, Xue Rengui naturally revealed the matter concerning Yuan Shao, Gu Ling, and Huangfu Dou to Bai Qi before Bai Qi's departure.

Furthermore, on the Luo Wang side, the pacification commissioner Yan Ruohai directly sent his son Yan Bingyun over so that he could cooperate with Bai Qi when necessary.

The military and the police are, after all, two different systems.

Although the military has an obligation to cooperate with the armed forces during wartime, this cooperation does not involve direct command. No ruler would entrust the command of such an organization to a general.

Therefore, the two sides still need the help of people from the Net to facilitate communication.

After learning that Yuan Shao, Gu Ling, and Huangfu Dou were hidden within the Dali Dynasty, Bai Qi changed his plan, switching from a surprise attack to a frontal assault.

The Dali Kingdom was mostly mountainous, making the entire country a naturally defensible region.

However, after their defeat in the battle against Zhao Kuangyin, they suffered heavy losses in their elite military forces.

After that, in order to deal with the invasion of Xu Xiao of Da Wu, the last of their elite troops were almost all lost.

It can be said that at this time, the Dali Dynasty appeared to have tens of thousands of soldiers, but in reality, they were all newly recruited soldiers with limited combat power.

In the first battle after Bai Qi's army pressed in, the defection of Dou Xianniang, Shi Bao, Fang Jie, and others allowed Bai Qi to open the gates of the Dali Dynasty effortlessly, and also kill half of the Dali Dynasty's army.

Duan Zhengming, a prince of the Dali Dynasty who was stationed at the front line, along with Dali generals Wu Santong and Zhu Ziliu, and more than ten others, all died in battle.

Bai Qi was not worried at all that the defection of Dou Xianniang, Shi Bao, Fang Jie and their group would affect Huangfu Dou and others who were still hiding within the Dali Dynasty.

After all, the situation of this group in the Dali Dynasty was completely different from that of Koos and others in the Great Yan Dynasty.

Koos and his group were a small gang, so if one of them had a problem, Da Yan would naturally suspect the others.

However, these people from the Dali Dynasty can only be said to have arrived in Dali around the same time. For example, Dou Xianniang's group went to Dali after the defeat of Dawu, while Huangfu Dou and his group went to Dali after the defeat of Dacang.

There is no necessary connection between these two groups of people.

Therefore, even if one of them had a problem, it wouldn't cause the Dali Dynasty to turn its suspicions to the other.

Not to mention, Dou Xianniang's group was using the opportunity of a last-minute betrayal as a bargaining chip, rather than staging a premeditated inside-outside collaboration.

After that, Bai Qi won one victory after another, and in just half a month, he swiftly advanced to the capital of Dali.

Bai Qi's rapid advance was due in part to his personal abilities, but also to the disparity in overall strength between the two sides. Bai Qi had 150,000 elite troops behind him, while the Dali Dynasty's army consisted of mostly new recruits, half of whom were annihilated by Bai Qi in a single battle.

Although the Dali Kingdom was mostly mountainous and had a rugged terrain, even the most rugged terrain is useless without military defense.

Therefore, city after city was easily breached by Bai Qi.

Bai Qi's advance was so rapid that the Dali Dynasty didn't even have enough time to prepare for war.

Only when Bai Qi's army was already at the city gates did they mobilize the people on a large scale to help defend the city, and they also tried to organize the martial arts forces in the country.

Spurred by the threat of national subjugation, the Dali Dynasty was clearly going all out, even promising the One-Finger Divine Skill, the foundational martial art passed down through the Duan family, to the martial arts practitioners within the country in an attempt to entice them to step forward at this critical moment.

However, Bai Qi didn't care about any of their nonsense at this time, and ignored the Dali Dynasty's pointless actions. He directly mobilized Yuan Shao and Huangfu Dou, who were still hiding within the Dali Dynasty.

With the help of these people, they worked together from the inside and outside to break through the city gates, and hundreds of thousands of troops stormed into the capital of the Dali Dynasty.

Bai Qi, accompanied by Zhao Yun, personally led this troop of soldiers to attack the palace of the Dali Dynasty, while Alcyoneus and Pallas, led by Yuan Shao and Gu Ling, attacked Tianlong Temple, a key location of the Dali Dynasty.

A dynasty like the Dali Kingdom, a martial arts dynasty, had its own Duan family, which was the largest martial arts family in the country.

For a martial arts dynasty like Dali, the most important place in the country, besides the imperial palace, was Tianlong Temple, which was no less important than the imperial palace.

Within Tianlong Temple, masters such as Kurong, Yideng, Ci'en, Benyin, Benguan, Benxiang, and Bencan gathered, and among them were many grandmasters.

However, even before Alcyoneus and Pallas, who were experts, were personally involved in the attack, they had already suffered heavy casualties.

With a barrage of arrows from a large number of archers, elite soldiers clad in iron armor formed a formation and charged in first. Apart from a few grandmasters who were able to barely hold out by relying on the terrain within Tianlong Temple, the rest of the troops were defeated.

The rest were almost entirely slaughtered.

Even a master like Ci'en, after failing to retreat in time and being surrounded by a squad of armored soldiers, could shatter even a shield with a single palm strike, despite his incomparably strong Iron Palm technique.

However, it wasn't until he was surrounded by the army that he realized that a person's strength has its limits, his skills have their limits, and his physical strength has its limits.

Even he had to exert all his strength to kill these heavily armored soldiers who were wearing iron armor and holding large shields.

However, without armor, he was vulnerable to spears and broadswords coming from all directions, which could easily take his life.

Therefore, after only a short time, he was completely overwhelmed by the surging tide of soldiers.

Inside Tianlong Temple, apart from Yideng and one other person who were captured alive after exhausting their martial arts skills, the remaining hundreds of people, whether skilled in martial arts or not, were all slaughtered.

Many martial arts manuals from Tianlong Temple, including the secret techniques of the Dali Duan family, One Finger Divine Skill and Six Meridian Divine Sword, were all taken away by the Han people.
