Father can be an enemy to the country

There was dead silence in the Lucchuan Army Commander's tent.

All the generals knew what to do now, but no one dared to speak.

"Speak? You're all mute!" Dao Silang said through gritted teeth. As he spoke, he glared at Peng Mailang and said, "You tell me!"

"Hey, yes..." Peng Mailang secretly cried out that he was unlucky, and could only bite the bullet and said: "Come back to Marshal, in my opinion, it is difficult for us to defeat Dingbian City with our own strength. Now that Etao has resurrected, We are surrounded by enemies from both sides, so the situation becomes even more difficult."

"What do you mean?" Dao Silang asked coldly.

"What I mean is that we have to ask the king for help now." Peng Mailang's voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke.

"No! What bad idea did you come up with?!" Dao Silang's first reaction was indeed rejection. He said with a livid face: "Your Majesty gave me 50,000 troops and asked me to attack the small Jingdong. But I was actually blocked by thousands of Ming troops, and Mengmao couldn't even go back. If this was reported back, Your Majesty You will think I am too incompetent!"

"But the problem is, won't the longer it goes on like this, the more incompetent will it become?" Someone asked a soul question, which made the swordsman blush on the spot.

After holding it in for a long time, he said in a low voice: "Tomorrow, the commander-in-chief will take personal command and attack it with all our strength!"

As he spoke, he also offered a heavy reward: "Whoever's subordinates can break the city this time, I will give him the reward he dreams of - marry Naham Xiang to him! And two thousand households will be given as a dowry!"

"Hiss..." The generals couldn't help but suck in the cold air and screamed secretly. The marshal had spent a lot of money this time.

As for the two thousand households, it goes without saying. Nanaham Xiang is the youngest daughter of Dao Si Lang, and is known as the Flower of Mengmao. She is a stunning beauty.

Luchuan was very hierarchical. Unless it was a special situation like this, most of these generals would not be the sons-in-law of Dao Silang. This opportunity to rise in status is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, who wouldn’t want to seize it?

So Dao Silang personally took command, and the generals who were rekindled by him...or his daughter launched an attack on Dingbian City again!

This time, the Lucchuan army was mobilized in full force, and all the generals also used their best efforts. They went to the front line one by one to supervise the battle and command their soldiers to attack the city!

The Lucchuan army suddenly became fearless and fearless, and jumped directly onto the top of Dingbian City from the several high platforms they had built before, which were higher than the city wall. This sudden move caused considerable chaos to the Ming army.

The Lucchuan Army in the middle also took the opportunity to climb the ladder up the city wall, while the auxiliary soldiers below continued to dig hard... and this time it was really poaching. They dug a big hole directly into the foundation of the rammed earth wall, causing an unprecedented collapse and even burying themselves underneath.

After several days of relatively dull battle conditions, the sudden increase in intensity was almost too much for the Ming army soldiers. There was even a time when the Luchuan Army invaded the city for the first time. In the end, Hu Quan and Ning Zheng led their respective guards to attack and fought bloody battles with the soldiers to stabilize the situation.

What, you ask about the reserve team? When the war is going on like this, there is no reserve team left. All the soldiers who could still fight were thrown into the battle. By the end of the fight, even the leading soldiers and civilians had joined the battle... This was the first time the Ming army had been forced into such an embarrassing situation since the war began.

But the tenacity of the Ming army is also beyond imagination. This is also a characteristic of city defense warfare. Everyone knows that if the city is defeated, they will die. In order to survive, they can only risk their lives, squeeze out the last bit of their potential, and kill the damned people. The enemy is driving down the city!

Of course, for the sergeants defending the collapsed city wall on the east side, they should... drive the enemy out. In short, whether it was driving them out or driving them out, they finally did it.

At dusk, the setting sun is like blood. After fighting fiercely all day, the Luchuan Army, which had exhausted its last bit of strength, finally retreated.

It's not that Dao Silang doesn't want to fight at night, but after a whole day of fierce fighting, he has no reserve team. All the troops were pulled up and beaten by him, and they were all hungry, exhausted, and completely unable to fight anymore.

"It's just that little difference!" Dao Silang stared at the Dingbian City Wall that had been reduced to ruins with fire-breathing eyes. He gritted his teeth and said unwillingly: "We have already gone in, and the result is out again. I hate it so much. ! Come again tomorrow!”

"We can't come again!" Seeing that the coach had turned into a gambler who was losing his mind, the generals were horrified. They no longer cared about whether they would be disobedient to the swordsman, and tried their best to stop him:

"I made an agreement with my brothers today. Regardless of success or failure, this will be the last time before reinforcements arrive."

"Yes, everyone is completely unstoppable. They will rebel if we get desperate."

"Think twice, Dad, the Han people often say that if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood!" Even Jin Mailang, who was hanging his arms, tried to persuade him: "These are our own troops, and we have been wiped out." There’s no capital left!”

"Ah..." Dao Silang saw that his generals had no intention of fighting anymore, and knew that it was useless to persist. He angrily let out a loud cry that sounded like a wolf's howl, and then said with a dark face:

"It's up to you. Stop fighting and call for help!"

After saying that, he left the generals behind and limped away alone.

The generals breathed a sigh of relief and started talking quietly while looking at Dao Silang's back.

"The marshal is injured?"

"no."

"Then why are you limping?"

"I have hemorrhoids..."

People's positions are different, and their reactions to the same thing will naturally be different. As the head coach, Daosi Lang is fully responsible for the defeat of the war. But they don't need to. They just want to kill as few people as possible, otherwise they won't be able to explain to their clansmen when they go back.

A few days later, Dao Silang's messenger traveled over the mountains and returned to Mengmao City.

Mengmao City became Ruili in later generations. The Ruili River Valley Basin was called "Mengmao" in Dai language. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, their ancestors established the ancient slave state of Mengmao here, which was later destroyed by Nanzhao.

Later, Sihanfa came into being and created the unprecedented Lucchuan regime of the Dai people. After annexing the original superior Jinzhi Xuanwei Division, he recruited a large number of migrant workers and built the new capital city of "Yunjielan" in Mengmao.

After nearly thirty years of construction regardless of cost, this place has become the center of the entire outer Yunnan. There are magnificent temples everywhere in the city. Of course, the most eye-catching one is the Luchuan Palace with its golden spire and double eaves.

Dai people like gold and like to show off gold in the most conspicuous places, such as roofs and teeth. When Marco Polo arrived in Yongchang with the Mongolian army, he saw that the local Dai people "used gold as a set on their teeth, like a tooth shape, and set it on the teeth, both upper and lower", so the people of the Yuan Dynasty called them gold teeth. them.

Of course, the lower-class Dai people actually use copper-clad teeth. In a slave society where wealth was highly concentrated, how could they have gold to make gold teeth?
