Chapter 165: Baibi Mountain's Eighteen Serial Villages
The night, just darkened, the thick fog spread layer by layer, and it was a calm and peaceful night. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
A black shadow came out of the darkness, ran quickly to Zhang Fan and knelt down:
"General Qiyu, Zulang's army has already passed the Nine Python Mountain."
The corners of Zhang Fan's mouth turned up, "Zu Lang, Zu Lang, one move to reduce the stove will turn the tiger away from the mountain." After the Nine Python Mountain, even if you want to turn back, it will take more than seven days at the earliest, and when Zulang receives the news and rushes back, the daylilies are cold...... Alas, young man! ”
It turned out that the so-called main force of the Shousheng Battalion was actually pretended to be by civilians in Jing County, and only the cavalry troops led by Jiang Qin were real, so their marching speed was so slow. In order to avoid being caught up too early, Zhang Fan had to order Jiang Qin to lead the cavalry to harass ...... along the way
When the army of civilians disguised as leaving the city attracted all the attention of the Sangoe scouts, the real army of the first victory battalion also sneaked out of the city in batches, lurking in the dense forest west of the city, waiting for an opportunity to move.
The cold light in Zhang Fan's eyes flashed, and the herald was summoned to give a decisive order:
"Everyone set off immediately, move forward at full speed, and target Zulang's lair, Baibi Mountain, and Eighteen Villages."
"No, get the order." The herald immediately went down to give the order......
……
After three days and three nights of rapid marching, the army of the Shousheng Battalion finally came to the front of Shibi Mountain.
The Baibi Mountain Range is in the northeast-southwest "S" shaped trend, with a length of more than 100 kilometers, a width of 40 kilometers, and a total area of 2,600 square kilometers, making it the largest mountain range in Danyang County.
This mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist in all seasons, and it is covered with clouds. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the shadows of the mountains like dragons and tigers, and the pines and cypresses are like thousands of miles of waves. The strange rocks at the cliff of Baizhang are craggy, the spring in the mountain stream and the valley is clear and the birds are singing, the towering ancient trees are tall and handsome, and the charming mountain flowers compete for the strange and beautiful.
Don't be fooled by the beautiful appearance of this mountain, and only when you go into the depths will you know that it is truly terrifying, almost everywhere it is full of mosquitoes, beasts, miasma, snakes and bees, and all kinds of poisonous plants that see blood and seal their throats...... Any one of them can take your life silently without any preparation for you.
It is one of the largest gathering places in the Jiangdong area, and more than 100 hills in the Baibi Mountains are now occupied by the mountains, and the Han people who originally lived here have long been assimilated. At present, more than 100,000 Vietnamese people live in this area.
During the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, the Han army also attacked here more than once, without exception, all of them returned, not entirely because of the strong combat effectiveness of Shanyue, the most important thing is that this mountain range is full of deadly dangers, after the Han army came, the water and soil were not adapted, malaria was frequent, vomiting and diarrhea, and collapsed without a fight.
But these are not problems for Zhang Fan, before setting off, he first gave all the soldiers a training course on the nine precautions for survival in the wild. Then he had all the soldiers covered with realgar, wrapped their bare skin, forbade anyone to drink raw water, and at the same time cut down a lot of wormwood and artemisia grass, mixed with realgar and lit it, and all the way smoke, thick smoke billowed out, snakes, insects, bees and ants retreated.
Another point of mass destruction is miasma. Miasma is a poisonous gas produced by the decay of plants and animals in primeval forests. There are many miasma in the south, and the miasma is the evil turbidity of the mountains and forests, which occurs in late spring and converges in late autumn. The miasma of all roads occurs after the Qingming Festival, and is collected after the frost festival.
As early as three months ago, Zhang Fan sent spies from the tea division to bribe the local Yue people, and traveled through every jungle here, finding out the main distribution areas of all the miasma in the Baibi Mountains, and deliberately avoiding these places before planning the march route.
In ancient times, people's understanding of miasma was very limited, and most of the actual pathogenic miasma was caused by mosquito swarms. A large number of mosquitoes with falciparum malaria bacteria gathered together to fly, and from a distance it looked like a black and dreary gas. Humans and animals are infected with falciparum malaria when they are bitten by them.
Zhang Fan is not worried about this, because he has developed sulfonamides with the help of water friends, and the workshop has already been able to produce it on a large scale.
Sulfonamides have a wide antibacterial spectrum, and the efficacy is certain, the nature is stable, easy to use, and easy to store for a long time, is a large class of drugs second only to antibiotics in modern times.
Zhang Fan has done experiments and confirmed that sulfonamides have a very good antibacterial effect on most of the germs and malaria infections in this jungle. It is precisely because of this that Zhang Fan dared to attack Shanyue's lair with such confidence.
Facts once again proved that science and technology is power, under Zhang Fan's full preparation, the first victory battalion crossed the mountains with slight casualties, and came to the core area of Shanyue, the first village of the "chain of eighteen villages" - the top of the chicken coop.
The eighteen villages are the location of the largest eighteen tribes under Zulang's command, which are connected to each other, watching and helping each other, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Of course, that was the previous situation, this time Zu Lang heard that Zhang Fan was dead, and he was relieved to deploy almost all his troops to pursue the "main force of the Shousheng Battalion" pretended to be civilians, and chased all the way to Jiu Python Mountain, and now the total number of left-behind soldiers in more than 100 cottages is less than 4,000 people. And all of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, almost in a state of defenselessness.
The first victory camp was repaired in place overnight, and ushered in their first morning in Baibi Mountain.
From a distance, it seems as if everything is floating in mid-air, and the top of the mountain cannot be seen. Everything in front of me was shrouded in a layer of ethereal, light gauzy morning mist, the sun slowly rose, and only a red halo could be seen in the fog, and a faint red light was emitted in the confusion.
Embellishment of the morning light, Zhang Fan began to count the generals: "Chen Wu." ”
"The end will be."
"With your 2,000 people, attack five cottages from east to west: Qixingling, Dagou Longwei, Hengwending, Li Lang Mountain, and Dustpan Peak."
"No, the last will obey." Chen Wu led the troops away......
Zhang Fan continued to order: "Dong attack." ”
"The end will be."
"With your 2,000 people, attack five cottages from west to east: Liushang Mountain, Tongxinling, Midading, Gushuang Mountain, and Banxiao Mountain."
"No, the last will obey." Dong Xi led his troops to ......
Zhang Fan caught a glimpse of Lu Lingqi looking at him with blank eyes, and deliberately turned his face away and said:
"Lu Lingqi."
"Huh? Oh...... The end will be. ”
Lu Lingqi was a little caught off guard, and hurriedly replied, scolding Zhang Fan to death in her heart.
"The same is with your 2,000 people, from north to south, attacking Tianrong Mountain, Jiaoteng Mountain, Litouzui, Yibai Peak, and Gaobedao five cottages."
"No, the last will obey." Lu Lingqi led the troops with an excited face......
Zhang Fan looked at the remaining soldiers and said, "The remaining 2,000 people will attack the top of the chicken coop, the Tuotuo Peak, and the Zulang Bunzhai Swallowing Camel Ridge from south to north. The whole army set out, and the target was the top of the chicken coop. ”
"Victory!" Two thousand soldiers responded with a bang, and the sound shook the sky.
Under the bright and dazzling banner of the Flying Tiger, the soldiers of the Han Army in red clothes and black armor are rushing towards the top of the chicken coop not far away, and the hideous killing machine echoes between heaven and earth...... (To be continued.) )
