Dali Shanchan Prefecture.

Zhang Jue personally led an army of 20,000 to bomb the three coalition forces with the fallen leaves with the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves. In just a few days, the troops were coming outside Shanchan Mansion.

The upper class of Dali already knew that the Song army had new weapons to restrain hot air balloons, and did not leave the city to meet the enemy without any accident.

Because I definitely can't beat it.

The Song army, which had hot air balloons and sky-storming cannons, had no flaws. In the field, unless the troops were several times stronger than the Song army, there would be no hope of victory at all.

Dali also clearly understands the power of hot air balloons. No army can withstand the bombardment of hot air balloons.

Jiang Kui, the general manager of Shanchan Prefecture, came to the city.

The flags fluttered outside the city, and the army was endless.

At this time, Jiang Kui's face was undoubtedly extremely solemn.

Reinforcements went to Xiushan and suffered a great defeat. Now Zhang Jue's army is coming to the city and retreated to the coalition forces without any damage. This power is enough to make him feel uneasy.

Just based on the current soldiers in Shanchan Mansion, if the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were at all costs, they would not be able to defend the city.

As for those tribal private soldiers, Jiang Kui no longer has much hope now.

Just being bombed by the Flying Army this time would probably be enough to scare the courage of the tribe leaders.

Although he asked himself that his relationship with these tribe leaders was pretty good, he never believed that they would lead his family to protect Shanchan Mansion to the death.

Unless he can win some victory in this battle, it is almost the same. Guangguang will undoubtedly not be able to rely on his Shanchan Mansion Army.

After staring deeply outside the city, Jiang Kui looked back and looked northwest.

There is the capital of Dali.

The Weichu Mansion has been lost, and the imperial guards of the capital are rushing towards Shanchan Mansion. He only hopes that the imperial guards of the capital can catch up this time.

If they arrived until the Shanchan Mansion was broken, it would obviously be meaningless.

There were countless artillery carts standing above the city. Neatly thunder, arrows, etc. were piled up next to it.

There were soldiers waiting for the battlements to be strong behind the crossbows.

Of course, people are also indispensable.

Even if the Weichu Mansion was a lesson in the past, Jiang Kui had no other way. Facing the Song Dynasty's firearms, he could only take the people as the quality. Losing the people's hearts is better than losing the city.

But he did more and more comprehensively than Xing Yuande. Before he was imprisoned these people to the city, he had already done some ideological work.

But what Jiang Kui didn't expect was that after the Song Dynasty imperial guards arrived outside the city, they did not quickly attack the city. Instead, they began to set up camp outside the city.

This is a real camp, not just a gesture. Because smoke from cooking is rising quickly in the camp.

The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were not in a hurry to break through Shanchan Mansion.

But this did not make Jiang Kui relaxed.

There is an imperial guard in Dali, the capital of the country, rushing to Shanchan Mansion, why is there no large army of the Song army coming here?

The 20,000 army led by Miao Cheng, behind Zhang Jue, and Zhang Hongwei and Liu Zhuwen who were walking from Weichu Mansion, were all rushing towards Shanchan Mansion.

Seeing that Zhang Jue was not in a hurry, Jiang Kui became even more anxious.

Because when the Song army's six imperial guards gathered, he could not even imagine that even if the imperial guards in the capital arrived, they would definitely be able to defeat the Song army?

The Song army's firearms are extremely powerful, and their true strength cannot be estimated just by counting the number of people.

However, Jiang Kui has no choice now.

The Song army did not come to capture Shanchan Mansion, but just to pacify the government offices, granaries, etc. If he led his army to retreat, it would be equivalent to handing over Shanchan Mansion to Zhang Jue.

Not to mention how much money you lost this time, Dali cannot lose it just by giving up this face.

Besides, Jiang Kui, if he encountered the Song army attacking the city, he would retreat without fighting. His prestige in Dali would be greatly reduced in the future, and he would not even be able to gain a foothold in the court.

Zhao Liangcai from Xiushan County at least fought to the death. If he had a card of pain, what reason would he have?

So, Jiang Kui had to hold on in Shanchan Mansion.

This has passed two days.

There are also a large group of troops and horses who have achieved good explanations.

It is the Tianji Army and the Tianxian Army.

Before the Dali capital's imperial guards arrived at Shanchan Mansion, Zhang Hongwei and Liu Zhuwen led their troops to arrive first.

In Xiushan, the surrendered soldiers captured by the Weichu Mansion were thrown in Weichu and were no longer held in the army.

At this moment, Tianji and Tianxian had about 15,000 troops.

Although this made the two of them feel very distressed, from an objective perspective, the two armies broke through two counties in a row, which was almost equivalent to capturing half of the territory of Dali. This kind of war loss could naturally be considered minimal. What's more, their army was carrying countless gold, silver and jewelry that originally belonged to Dali at this time.

The morale in the army is high and still has a strong ambition to win, which is brilliant.

They went directly from Weichu Mansion to Shanchan Mansion, and from the west gate of Shanchan Mansion to the east gate to join Zhang Jue's army. The soldiers in Shanchan Mansion did not dare to stop him.

When he arrived outside the military camp, Zhang Jue personally welcomed him out of the military camp.

The tens of thousands of imperial guards in the Song Dynasty did not even take the guards on the city.

Zhang Hongwei and Liu Zhuwen dismounted and knelt on one knee, "Marson!"

Zhang Jue hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the two of them up and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, the two commanders. As the vanguards of this battle in Dali, you have made great contributions."

Both of them shook their heads with some humility.

Zhang Hongwei said: "This is all the credit of Chief Liu. I just shook the flag and shouted for Chief Liu from behind."

At his level, there is no need to find ways to compete for military merits. Because even if you fight again, you will not be able to be promoted to the level of marshal in a short period of time.

"Captain Zhang, please be polite."

Liu Zhuwen said: "Liu dare not take credit. This time, Xiushan and the two cities of Chu have lost nearly 5,000 soldiers, which is really a must-have."

Zhang Jue sighed softly, "There is no one who can't die in war. But for the great stability of the world, they die as much as possible."

The treatment of soldiers in the Song Dynasty was the best, but at the same time, because the people were taken into account, it was inevitable that many people would be damaged in vain.

Zhao Dongting had already said this in the army.

Soldiers must have a spirit of dedication.

Zhang Jue pointed his hand into the camp, "Let's go, let's talk about it first."

Zhang Hongwei and Liu Zhuwen nodded to the deputy general in the army, and followed Zhang Jue to the camp.

The deputy generals in the army arranged for soldiers to set up camps.

The military camp outside the city grew stronger at an extremely fast speed. The white tent was about to appear everywhere in the mountains and fields soon.

The two followed Zhang Jue to sit down in the coach's tent.

As soon as he sat down, Liu Zhuwen asked, "Marson, are we going to attack Shanchan Mansion?"

Zhang Jue chuckled and said, "When will you attack Shanchan Mansion depend on when the imperial guards in the Dali capital arrive."

These words made both Liu Zhuwen and Zhang Hongwei look surprised and confused.

Gao Xing and Ren Wei showed a faint smile on the corners of their mouths. Obviously, they both knew Zhang Jue’s plans.

Zhang Jue said again: "We have come to Dali from thousands of miles away, and countless soldiers have failed. Do you really rob some gold, silver and jewelry and go back now?"

Liu Zhuwen instantly understood Zhang Jue's meaning and said shockedly: "Is the Marshal planning to destroy the imperial guards of the capital of Dali?"

"snort."

Zhang Jue snorted: "Jiang Kui is waiting for reinforcements from their Dali Capital. I want to see. When their capital's imperial guards arrive, will they dare to go out of the city to fight? Dali has been in a state of war over the years, recruiting countless soldiers, but is unwilling to remain calm, and has a close relationship with Shuzhong. They are already a major threat to our great Song Dynasty's western border. This time, they must destroy a few of their teeth."

Liu Zhuwen nodded slightly, "When the Dali State capital's imperial guards arrive, we will start war immediately?"

"Um."

Zhang Jue nodded, "When Miao Cheng led the army to arrive, we will have nearly 60,000 elite soldiers, with so many troops, and still can't afford the imperial guards of Dali Capital? It's almost the same unless they dare to go all out."

As he said that, he chuckled again, "Even if we are less than 40,000 elite soldiers, I am sure to fight against the 100,000 soldiers of Dali."

He was obviously confident in his imperial guards.

Yes, even Zhang Hongwei and Liu Zhuwen's 20,000 troops could even defeat Xiushan County and Weichu Prefecture, and defeat the entire Dali without any help. How could he not have confidence in such a subordinate?

"good."

Even Liu Zhuwen was a little excited at this time and suddenly put the fan on the desk, "Then let's wait for their Dali-Kuaishou to arrive."

On this day, there was no tense atmosphere in the military camp.

Compared with the Great Song Military Camp, the atmosphere in Shanchan Mansion seemed much more tense.
