Meng Nan led the army of Nanzhao Kingdom and left Erhai with great force.
Looking at the retreating figure of the army, a young man in white clothes in the crowd looked at the majestic Meng Nan sitting on the horse with extremely hostile eyes. His fists were clenched, and his fingers were pierced into the flesh. His name is Yang Kun, and he is a descendant of the former Nanzhao king.
Meng Nan led his troops to rebel, and the Baiman Yang family was faced with a disaster. Only he and an ancestor escaped by chance because they went out to rest.
Yang Kun¡¯s parents and brothers were all spared. The blood feud made him think about revenge every moment of the day.
He quietly left the crowd and approached an inconspicuous room.
The room was so dark that it was almost impossible to see anything. A thin figure could be vaguely seen huddled on a chair.
"Grandpa, you are right, Meng Nan has already led the army to set off." Yang Kun walked lightly to the figure's side and whispered.
"Okay!" The old man opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Ten days later, help me contact Zhao and Zhao.
Li and Dong are the three great Baiman families. Our Baiman revival is at this moment. "
Yang Kun hesitated, and finally plucked up the courage to say: "Grandpa, I don't understand." The old man chuckled, and his wrinkled old face was like a hemp, with no smooth place to be found, "Silly boy, Look further ahead.
Didn¡¯t you say that when you spread the news that you were incapable of leading Nanzhao, you discovered that there was another group of people who were also doing this? If I guessed correctly, that group of people were spies of the Tang Army. Their coach is so amazing that he will eat this bastard Meng Di to death. He is just trying to make Difficulty play. With Meng Nian's little ability, it was impossible for him to defeat the Tang Dynasty. The purpose of the Tang army is to eliminate our living forces in Nanzhao. Meng Neng will never come back. Meng Nan is not a king at all. The people of Nanzhao are grateful for your father's rule. Once Meng Nan is killed in battle and Nanzhao is left without a leader, you stand up in the name of your father, plus Zhao, Li, and Dong, the three great white barbarian families. Support, those Wu barbarians cannot turn the world upside down. You have a chance to regain what belongs to us. Nanzhao is vast and sparsely populated. As long as we get the throne and order all the people to hide in the mountains, Nanzhao will still be Nanzhao. No matter what the Tang army does, they can't do anything to us. I am the Oak Knife Killer, and I will use the power of the Tang Army to help you get to the top. From now on, Nanzhao will be left to you. Don¡¯t lose the face of our Nanzhao family, which is the largest of the nine surnames. Come on, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to support you for long. You have to walk the road in the future on your own. "
¡¡¡,¡¡¡,¡,
It was difficult for the imperial power to suppress all opponents, and he led the 80,000 Nanzhao army to attack with high spirits.
At this moment, there was only one thought in Meng Nan's mind: to defeat the Tang army and show those white barbarians who were dissatisfied with him that a hard fist is the truth.
Nanzhao is some distance away from Datang. Although the territories are adjacent, the adjacent swamp is a dangerous area full of poisonous snakes and venomous insects. There is little contact between the two countries.
Meng Nan has heard about the Han Empire in the north since he was a child. At first, the Sui Dynasty was influenced by the Baiman. Meng Nan felt how powerful the Sui Dynasty was and his young heart was full of admiration for that big country. But not many years later, the Sui Dynasty was destroyed, and the respected great country collapsed.
So, he heard another voice, how powerful and invincible the Tang Dynasty was.
By this time, Meng Nian was no longer a young boy who could only listen to the wind. He had become the strongest man of the younger generation, with the ability to create a splitting tiger. Because of the decline of the Sui Dynasty, he also had doubts about the power of the Tang Dynasty.
After reaching adulthood, he defeated some small forces near Nanzhao with his martial arts and became the general of Nanzhao. He was very ambitious and did not care about how powerful the Tang Dynasty was. He thought that these powers were all blown out. Just like the Sui Dynasty, the company commander His strength is also limited.
Later, Mengnan met Songtsen Gampo. In order to get Nanzhao Lou to be his assistant, Songtsen Gampo tried his best to smear the Tang Dynasty and described the Tang Dynasty as a hopelessly bad country. When fighting, you will bully the few with more, and you will only use scheming and despicable methods, which is shameful for everyone.
Mengnan already had a prejudice against the Tang Dynasty, and after listening to Songtsan Gampo's words, he became more determined. He felt that the Tang people were just like the Bai barbarians, they were both cunning and cunning, they were both paper tigers and should not be feared.
He lost the last battle, but he strengthened his belief. He felt that the Tang people had no other ability except for scheming. As long as he paid attention to their tricks, victory would be within his grasp.
So when he learned that the Tang army was not far from the border of Nanzhao, Meng Nan called the army staff, waved the riding whip in his hand and said: "You, write me a letter of war and tell the man named Du He that if you bring a handle You guys will fight me openly and honestly.Dude, if you don't have this kind of talent, go back to my mother's arms and suck your milk. "
Meng Nian's thoughts were a bit simple, but he also had his own considerations. What he was most worried about was that the cunning Tang Army would do something weird again, so he used this method to kill him. Although I don't think Du He, a cowardly person like him, will accept the challenge calmly, but even if the general is ineffective, Du He will be disgusted and disgusted.
Simple people have such simple thoughts.
When Du He received Meng Nan¡¯s challenge, he felt a little bit dumbfounded.
After hearing the news, several generals who came to inquire about the situation had funny expressions after learning about the situation.
The military level of the Tang Dynasty was extremely high. In their eyes, this inferior general can only be viewed as a joke.
Du He smiled half-heartedly and gave his answer without hesitation.
Six words!
If you want to fight, I will fight.
Finally, he stopped the envoy and said: "Go back and tell your king that I will make him a man without a handle after the Tang army's victory."
Du He's thoughts coincided with Meng Nian's thoughts. To be precise, he decided on the tactics to cater to Meng Nian's thoughts.
" Du He used troops and made great plans, but that didn't mean he didn't know how to fight hard. When they first faced off against Hou Junji, they fought a tough battle. Although Du He's performance was slightly inferior, that was because his opponent was Hou Junji, a master who was good at fighting tough battles.
Du He knew that Meng was difficult to fight, and he liked to attack forcefully and go straight in. However, the topography of Nanzhao meant that they would not be able to go deep into the enemy's rear for a long time. Being able to eliminate Nanzhao's main military force in one battle will be of great benefit to their subsequent military operations.
Only by fighting a tough battle with Meng Nan, the straightforward King of Nanzhao will desperately invest all his troops.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Du He sent people to spread rumors and slander Meng Nan, in order to burn a fire called decisive battle in Meng Nan's heart.
Du He knew that the Nanzhao army was not weak, but he believed that the Tang army was stronger.
During this expedition, due to the influence of the plateau climate, the soldiers of the Tang army were somewhat restrained.
But after ten days of rest and fifteen days of marching, their army had approached the territory of Nanzhao. Nanzhao is lower in the east and higher in the west, and the terrain gradually eases. The closer it gets to the territory of Nanzhao, the further it deviates from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the less the impact on the Tang army will be.
As long as they enter the territory of Nanzhao, the Tang army, which has been restrained all the way, can let go and give it a try.
A tough battle began under this ridiculous general.
The way to decide a battle is ridiculous, but the real duel is real.
??????????????????????????????? The problem is that I am not good at political intelligence, but I still have some strength in the military.
?According to the terrain, with the axe-shielder as the front, and the cavalry on the left and right, a powerful offensive was launched. Nanzhao's technology was low, and they could not make magic weapons such as Tang Dao, but they polished iron blocks into axes, which did not require much advanced smelting technology and could ensure strong lethality.
In Nanzhao, ax soldiers are their signature unit.
Du He also planned to knock down as low as possible, with Zhang Liang as the front, Xin Li'er, Luo Tong, and Xue Rengui as the left and right wings. Infantry fights infantry, cavalry fights cavalry.
In this battle, Du He asked Meng Nan to see what an invincible army was and what an invincible force was.
Although the combat power of Nanzhao soldiers cannot be ignored. But as the most powerful country, Datang's military strength surpassed that of any other country.
Whether it is the quality of individual soldiers or the tacit understanding of group battles, they are all superior to the Nanzhao army, and there is no suspense about victory or defeat.
The cavalry on the left and right wings defeated the enemy in front of them at the first opportunity, detoured behind the Nanzhao army, and launched a preliminary encirclement.
Du He then pressed the entire army, made dumplings of the Nanzhao army, surrounded them, and launched an all-round killing spree.
Meng Nan finally realized his naivety and stupidity, but it was too late. No matter how he broke through, he could not escape the siege of the Tang army.
Du He waved his command flag and cut the Nanzhao army into dozens of pieces like tofu, causing them to completely lose contact with the Mengmeng, unable to distinguish between the east, west and north, and losing the year of fighting to the end.
Seeing that Nanzhao's entire army was about to be unable to support them any longer, Du He issued an incredible order. He leaked a small crack, making it difficult for Meng to escape.
Although the encircling Tang army was extremely surprised, they could only obey the orders. They quietly exposed a flaw and let Meng Meng escape from the encirclement with his thousands of personal guards.
It was difficult for Meng to break through the siege, so how could he dare to stay for a moment longer, leading some of the remaining soldiers to be defeated and flee in embarrassment.
The remaining Nanzhao armyHowever, it was difficult to build it. They either surrendered or died tragically under the sword of the Tang army because of their resistance.
When the battlefield was being cleaned, all the generals couldn¡¯t figure out the reason and came up one after another to ask.
According to their opinion, Meng Nan is really difficult to defeat. As long as he is captured, the whole country of Nanzhao can be easily obtained.
It is really a pity to give up this victory that we have achieved.
Facing this series of questions, Du He just smiled faintly and asked: "Do you really think that Nanzhao can be pacified if Meng is difficult to capture or dies?" The generals were stunned.
Luo Tong, who had a good relationship with Du He, asked: "Isn't it true? The king has become a prisoner of his subordinates, how can Nanzhao still have the fighting spirit to resist?"
Du He said: "That's a big mistake. Meng Nan relied on power to unify Nanzhao. The people were afraid of him, but they didn't obey him. Once he died, the people of Nanzhao would not be sad, but would be happy and rejoicing, supporting a man they believed in By then, Nanzhao will be even more difficult to deal with." He did not elaborate, but just smiled coldly and said to himself: "I, Du He, am not stupid enough to become someone else's sword and be manipulated by others, that is too small. Look down on me¡±! .
