Chapter 153: Soldiers Descend on the City

"Gao Yu Chenglong personally led the troops?" The eldest grandson Hong asked in surprise while letting Kowloon Onde take off the robes he was draping on his body, while wiping the rain on his face with a cloth.

"Yes, I heard that all the men and horses of the Dali Standing Army have been mobilized, plus the barbarian soldiers on the left, a total of more than 25,000 people, stationed at Longshou Pass, waiting for us to pass." Duan Wuyi was dressed in iron armor, sonorous, standing in the mud to report to the eldest grandson.

"It's raining here, let's go, go in and talk!" The eldest grandson Hong took off his robe that was soaked by the rain, and lowered his head and got into the big tent of Shimen Fan built thirty miles outside Longshou Pass, which was made of cowhide, although it was slightly old, but it was still solid and usable, and it was not invaded by water and fire.

Behind the fifth section, Kowloon Angde and others penetrated in, the big tent is tall and wide, accommodating dozens of people without showing the situation, there are skylights on all sides of the tent, with a poncho, although it is rainy outside, but the light is still usable, there is no feeling of dim and haze.

The eldest grandson Hong sat on the top without concessions, and the barbarian generals sat down on both sides in order according to their official positions, and some barbarian soldiers held the stove and baked the wet clothes on the bodies of the eldest grandson Hong and Jiulong Angde nearby.

"Gao Yu Chenglong's position is high and powerful, and he is a civilian official who is not familiar with military affairs, he has always cherished himself, and he will not lead troops out easily, why did he change his personality this time?" Eldest Sun Hong asked with a smile as he carried the water on the hem of his clothes.

"I'm probably in a hurry." Duan Wu also laughed, relaxed: "The news from Duan Xiangxing, when they were discussing in the court, no one was willing to lead the troops, Gao Yuchenglong was forced to be helpless, and the Duan Emperor fanned the flames again, so he had to catch the ducks on the shelves." ”

"Hahahaha!" There was laughter in the tent, and the crowd rejoiced.

"If the war is fought to this extent, the heavens will kill his high family!" Changsun Hong smiled and shook his head: "Dali actually has elite soldiers, and there are internal disputes, so there is such a dilemma." ”

He paused, and said with a smile that did not change: "We Shimen Fan must take this as a warning, learn their lessons, no matter when, we must unite as one, even if there are differences, we must not tear each other apart, we must be consistent with the outside world under any circumstances, if someone is half-hearted, everyone can be punished!" ”

He said this with a smile, but everyone who listened was upset.

This is by saying that others warn their own people, and Changsun Hong said to his subordinate friends that he would rather be hungry than give the last bowl of rice to others. But once someone disobeys him and does something bad, the Thunder Fury Butcher's Knife is also very ruthless.

In the past ten years, there have been many people who have died under his knife, and if you list your names, you can write a book.

Between the Maitreya monk and the angry eye Vajra, the eldest grandson Hong can be flexibly transformed.

As for how he converts, it depends mainly on who he has to deal with.

So everyone in the tent shuddered in unison, and shouted together: "What Mr. said is, remember Mr.'s teachings!" ”

"Don't do this, this is a pre-war brainstorm, everyone relax." Changsun Hong moved the stove towards his side, and said to Duan Wununu: "Let's get down to business, Duan Wu, you are the main general, let's talk about the situation first." ”

"Yes!" Duan Wu got up and bowed his hand, then walked to the side, pointed to a map hanging on a wooden frame and said to everyone: "Sir, please see, everyone, this is a hand-drawn topographic map of Dali drawn by Ran Pu, after Mr. Changsun's consideration, it is an extremely exquisite and accurate drawing." ”

He poked his rough finger somewhere on the map and said, "This is Dali City, the city is backed by Cangshan Mountain, south of Erhai Lake, and built along the mountain. In the meantime, there are two city walls, the inside and outside are different, the imperial city is included, and there are four guards about the card. Outside the city of Dali, there are two roads related to the pass, respectively guarding the two main roads in and out of Dali City up and down the Cangshan Mountain, we come from Sandian, if you want to knock on the city, you must pass through the upper pass, that is, the dragon head pass. ”

"Longshou Pass from the South Zhao to build King Kong City, on the wooden city as the pass, more than 100 years of successive Dali lords have almost repaired, lasted so far, has been up to more than three zhang of the Xiongguan one, both sides of the city, are unattainable deep mountain boulders, if you want to detour, you must travel three hundred miles, from the 36 barbarians in eastern Yunnan to cross, the forces of the various departments are intricate, to borrow the road a lot of trouble."

"We can't afford to delay." Changsun Hong knocked on the table in the back: "The Mongols are making trouble in Sichuan, and they have been delayed for a long time, once there is a change, everything will be closed." ”

"Sir is very right, so we have no other way but to knock and attack." Duan Wu poked the location of Longshou Pass on the map again, he poked carefully, and did not break the drawings: "In our previous wars, there were few fortifications, and it was a big deal to fight a dozen barbarian wooden villages, that kind of wooden fence is completely different from the stone pass of Longshou Pass, so it is very difficult to break through." ”

"And it's raining outside." Changsun Hong stood up, straightened up, and the dripping water on the hem immediately flowed onto the stove, and a puff of green smoke rose with a "zi" sound.

Changsun Hong didn't care, stood next to the map, and stretched out his hand to poke the map like Duan Wu: "The road is muddy on rainy days, it is difficult to pass, almost all of our Shimen Fan are foot soldiers, there are few horses, and it is even more difficult to fight, Duan Wu is right, this battle is very difficult." ”

All the generals in the tent changed their faces when they heard the words, and they exchanged heads and ears, and there was a buzzing sound.

"But it's time to test us." Changsun Hong raised his voice a little: "I have never fought and marched, and I have never looked at the sky to act. When it rains, it won't hit? How can this be true? Siege the city, the future is countless, this battle, we not only have to fight, but also to fight! ”

"Think about it from another angle, when it rains, we feel uncomfortable, but the other side is not uncomfortable? The visibility is low on rainy days, the valley is rainy and foggy, and we can't see the people on the opposite side every few dozen steps, and we can only find that as long as we move fast enough, set up a ladder and climb the wall, the guards may not have reacted yet! Changsun Hong crossed his arms and said seriously: "The wall is only four or five steps wide, and the front guards and equipment can only stand down five or six people at most. ”

Duan Wu said: "That's right, tomorrow night, it is the first day of the new year, the moonlight is the darkest time in January, there is almost no moonlight, the whole army is tied with white cloth on the arms, select the sergeants who are used to walking at night to lead the way, and the rest will walk at the tail, stay close to the city wall, the torch is bright, and the noise will go up, and you will be able to hit it with one blow!" ”

The generals below discussed for a while, and then they all thought deeply and nodded yes.

"Sir, General Duan, sneak attack at night, this is a great plan! All of our Shimen people are real men, there is no difference between fighting at night and during the day, please set a strategy with the general, arrange it, if one person is afraid of difficulties and retreats, I will not be the first to spare him! The barbarian Wu Wu stood up and shouted with a fist the size of a sandbag.

"It's extreme, it's extreme!" The crowd shouted: "There is no seed in Shimenfan!" ”

Eldest Sun Hong and Duan Wu glanced at each other, and they saw the smile in each other's eyes.

Morale is available!

The barbarians are like that, the mobilization is simple, and it is almost needless to say that they themselves will motivate themselves with a howl.

With 10,000 barbarians, Changsun Hong is confident that after all these years of training, he will definitely not fall behind in dealing with the Mongols in the mountains.

Not to mention the Dali soldiers who have not fought for many years.
