Chapter 35: Breaking the Barrier
Liu Dadao is steadily advancing at the speed of pulling out one gate a day. He was able to pull out a fence a day, not because of a deliberate calculation, but because these fences were set up in extremely dangerous places, and the path was only a few feet wide, although the officers and soldiers could not give full play to their numerical advantage, and the defenders could not arrange more manpower.
At the same time, the defenders didn't want to be able to hold on to these temporary fences, but just wanted to use it to delay the speed of the Ming army and file their sharpness, so they used a large number of strong men as cannon fodder, and the combat effectiveness of these people was also limited.
Therefore, as long as Liu Dadao is ruthless, he will pile up with his life, pull out a gate every day, and move forward steadily.
On this day, the army of the imperial court finally killed under the Loushan Pass, this Loushan Pass leaned on the valley and built, the two sides are built with cliffs as the city wall, a solid and heavy pass in the middle, although the position in front of the pass is much more spacious than the previous gate, but it can not arrange too many troops, look at the city pass, you have to look up, after the city pass, Wanfeng plugs into the clouds, it does give people an indestructible feeling.
Liu Dadao remained silent, took down the camp in front of the pass, and immediately sent someone to summon Ye Xiaotian.
These days, the battle is carried out by Liu Dadao's main force, on the one hand, this is because Ye Xiaotian made a lot of efforts in the early stage, there were many casualties, and he needs to rest, on the other hand, it is also according to their plan, this most dangerous level is to rely on Ye Xiaotian to break it, this knife is to be used on the blade, so naturally it is necessary to take a good rest.
Ye Xiaotian led his troops to follow behind, and he had nothing to do all the time. But he has not been idle, usually only when a very aggressive man covets a beauty, he will rack his brains and entangle from time to time, but Ye Xiaotian is now enjoying the treatment of a beauty, and is teased by Tian Henfeng from time to time.
Zhan Ning'er is like a tigress who protects food, staring at it tightly. Tian Nufeng doesn't know martial arts, Zhan Ning'er can't fight her, and it is not her style to use martial arts against a weak woman, so she has to sprinkle all the wimply qi she received from Tian Nufeng on Ye Xiaotian. Here's how: squeeze him dry!
In order to achieve this goal, many of her postures and movements that she usually felt ashamed of and refused to obey Ye Xiaotian were displayed one by one at this time, which made Ye Xiaotian like a lewd king, enjoying all the blessings. As for Tian Nufeng, although the fox has never tasted fresh, this kind of ambiguity and charm has no taste. It's just that when the second daughter talks about it, it will inevitably give people a headache.
On this day, the soldiers were approaching Loushan Pass, and Ye Xiaotian knew that the time had come for him to make a move. His demeanor suddenly became serious. And Tian Nufeng and Zhan Ning'er also stopped fighting together, looking at his gaze, each with deep meaning.
Zhan Ning'er knows that this pass is not broken, and it is very important for Woniuling. If the Ming army folded in front of Loushan Pass, then the battle against rebellion was bound to be extended indefinitely, and the imperial army would have to retreat and gather momentum again.
The Banzhou soldiers suffered a big loss when they entered Sichuan, and it is likely that Loushan Pass will be used as a defense point next. Changed the offense to the defense, turned the expansion target to the east, turned to Sinan Mansion, and the first thing to bear the brunt of at that time was Woniuling. Ye Xiaotian will have to bear huge pressure alone.
Tian Nufeng also knows what the gains and losses of Loushanguan mean to Yang Yinglong and her lifelong dream. Originally, she was full of confidence in Lou Shanguan, but Ye Xiaotian's previous words. has become a lingering shadow for her, and now that she has reached Loushan Pass, it makes no sense for her to seduce Ye Xiaotian and then wait for an opportunity to escape. Now the only thing she can do is wait...... with prayer.

When the Ming army attacked the city and had not yet set up camp, the bamboo tube that had been hidden for half a month in the pass was quietly taken out, and the plug was removed and discarded into the mountain spring.
What is hidden in the bamboo tube is not poison, but Gu. This mountain spring is living water, if it is poisoned, I am afraid that it will take hundreds of thousands of poisons, and it will be continuously thrown down to poison the soldiers who drink water, even if the soldiers in the city are all blind, Dai Yunxi will not be able to make so many poisons.
And this Gu is different, this Gu is a new type of Gu poison developed by Dai Yunxi after he was honored as an elder, and he studied the thousand-year-old Gu of this sect and was inspired. The thousand-year-old Gu was too difficult to make, but Dai Yunxi created another Gu poison on his own based on its principle.
Its lethality can't even reach one percent of that of a thousand-year-old Gu, it can only make people have diarrhea and be weak. But it is self-reproductive, and its practical modern point of view is that it is a biochemical virus.
The virus in the bamboo tube pours into the mountain spring, and because it is a living creature and can reproduce quickly, it does not reduce its effectiveness due to the living water, but expands the scope of infection.
The defenders in the city pass were all native soldiers, and people in that season rarely had the habit of boiling water to drink, and the conditions did not allow it, so this Gu poison silently entered the stomachs of many people. And the people sent into the city by Ye Xiaotian had already stored a gourd to drink water before that, even if they didn't store water, they would never drink a mouthful of stream water if they were thirsty for the time being.
That night, some people gradually developed symptoms, and at first they did not pay enough attention to it, but some people ate unclean food and ran into their stomachs, but on the second watch, more and more people had diarrhea, and some people were constantly facilitating it over and over again, and they were already prostrate and weak.
How can there be such good sanitary conditions in Loushan Pass, these native soldiers are usually convenient anywhere, and at this time the body is extremely unwell, let alone pay attention to the place, and the smell in Loushan Pass is stinking for a while.
At this time, the local officials attracted their attention and went to Langzhong for consultation, but because their symptoms and such a large-scale outbreak were too similar to cholera, Langzhong came to the conclusion of a plague outbreak, and the people in the customs were panicked for a while.
The imperial army may not be able to break through Loushan Pass, but a plague can definitely destroy a city. Just when the whole city was in a panic, Liu Dadao outside the city launched another attack.
He also had the advantage of advancing for the camp step by step, at least the large siege equipment he left behind at the twelfth fence had arrived under the city pass in time. The local officials in the city drove the native soldiers who had not yet been recruited to defend the city, but it was often a group of soldiers who were originally assigned together, and there was no one out of ten, and they needed to supplement the native soldiers who were not familiar with each other, and this combat power was greatly reduced.
At this time, Guanzhong suddenly caught fire everywhere, Ye Xiaotian had already sent spies in the city to set fire everywhere, the houses in the city were all wooden thatched roofs, and there were many trees, and the fire was raging for a while, and I didn't know how many houses were ignited.
At the same time, there were constant shouts from all over the city for officers and soldiers to enter the city.
The head of the city was in a fierce battle, and the native soldiers who hurriedly arrived in the city and formed a chaotic army were in a hurry; There was an outbreak of "cholera" in the city, and the stench was so bad that many soldiers were still looking around for a place to put their feet on their feet. The flames were everywhere, and at night it was not known whether the officers and soldiers had entered the city, or how many had entered the city.
At this time, Ye Xiaotian led his native soldiers who were accustomed to climbing rocks and trees, and went around to the side of Loushan Pass, taking advantage of the chaos in the pass, the battle in front of the pass attracted the attention of the defenders, and quietly climbed from the cliff behind the side.
The pass has not yet been broken, and the mental defense of the defenders in the pass has been broken.
