Fan Zheng looked around at the four patriarchs, although they behaved very calmly, but they were subconsciously nervous, but they couldn't hide Fan Zheng, who had studied micro-expressions.

"Your Excellency may have questions, I don't know why Fan led the army here?" Fan Zhenglang said.

"Please also ask General Fan to solve his doubts."

Song Wanzhang, the patriarch of the Song clan in Shuidong, hurriedly got up and said, although they did not openly rebel against the Great Song Dynasty, but they were the soil emperor of one side, and the decree of the Great Song Dynasty was not in Juzhou, and the imperial court was afraid that they would have been dissatisfied with them for a long time.

Fan Zheng said straightforwardly: "On the orders of the official family, this official led the army of the Celestial Empire to march from the east road, smashed the hinterland of Dali, captured Shanxian Mansion, and destroyed the Gao clan of Dali in one fell swoop. ”

"Capture Shanxian Mansion and destroy the Gao clan in Dali!"

While the patriarchs of the four major families in Juzhou breathed a sigh of relief, they couldn't help but suddenly raise their heads, their faces full of surprise.

No one thought that the Great Song Dynasty would send another army to directly attack the Gao family's base camp, Shanxian Mansion.

"The official family is sage! Now that the Dali army has been contained, no one would have thought that the Great Song Dynasty would suddenly send troops from Juzhou to attack Dali, and the Gao family would lose this battle. Song Wanzhang said respectfully.

The other three patriarchs are also complimentary, although the Great Song Dynasty declared to the outside world that it was to maintain the royal orthodoxy and help the Dali Duan clan restore the throne, but everyone knew in their hearts that the Great Song Dynasty could not help the Dali Duan clan for no reason, and taking the opportunity to plot Dali was probably the real intention of the Great Song Dynasty.

Of course, no one dares to say it openly.

"Although Juzhou is close to Dali, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and there are dangers and obstacles, so this policy may be quite risky." Song Wanzhang's words changed and he frowned.

As the natives of Juzhou, they are naturally quite aware of the terrain, they are the closest to Dali, and they know that the terrain at the junction of the two places is quite dangerous.

"This strategy is offered by Fan, as you said, Dali is dangerous, so you will not be more prepared, and this surprise attack can receive miraculous results." Fan Zheng said directly.

"But ............."

Song Wanzhang still wanted to say that Yang Changchun, the patriarch of the Yang clan in Banzhou, immediately got up and said: "I have heard for a long time that Fan Taicheng's evil party is invincible, and as soon as this party comes out, the Dali Gao clan will inevitably be destroyed, and Yang once again congratulated Fan Taicheng in advance." ”

Fan Zheng couldn't help but glance at Yang Changchun deeply, it seemed that the Banzhou Yang family also knew a lot about him.

"The Gao clan is a rebellious minister and thief, everyone will be punished, Fan's move is also for the heavens, presumably the four patriarchs think the same." Fan Zheng knocked quietly.

Suddenly, the four patriarchs broke out in a cold sweat, and they couldn't hear the meaning of Fan Zheng's beating.

Song Wanzhang hurriedly assured: "Naturally, in order to support General Fan's surprise attack, the Song family is willing to contribute two thousand quintals of grain and grass." ”

"We are willing to contribute our modest efforts and donate some grain and grass."

Yang Changchun and the other two patriarchs also immediately expressed their support for Fan Zheng's two thousand loads of grain and grass.

"Then Fan is disrespectful." Fan Zheng arched his hand.

Although the plan of cutting off the belly requires a surprise attack, and it mainly takes grain on the spot, the four major families are quite close to Dali, and they are naturally prepared for their supply of grain and grass.

"However, Fan does not have the habit of receiving favors in vain, and now there is a special reward for the four patriarchs, I don't know if you are interested." Fan Zheng changed his words.

"Splashing the sky and riches?"

The four patriarchs couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately looked at Fan Zheng.

If others said this, they would definitely scoff at it, but the evil doctor Fan Zheng himself said that they had already believed five points.

You must know that the name of the evil doctor Fan Zheng has been known for a long time even if they are in the southwest, and the evil doctor Fan Zheng has become a forensic doctor, making the world all over the major hospitals and making the doctors prosperous.

It is also the creation of the Royal Bank, which is to control the wealth of 20,000,000 yuan, and a slight leak of a finger can be compared to the hundred years of accumulation of their four major families.

Not to mention proposing to open up the Maritime Silk Road and make a fortune for a group of maritime merchants, and now the evil doctor Fan Zheng is already the recognized God of Wealth in the Great Song Dynasty.

Now that the evil doctor Fan is coming to the southwest, it is finally their turn to make a windfall?

"Please also ask Master Fan for advice." The four of them couldn't wait.

Fan Zheng pointed to the direction of Dali in the southwest and said: "Now that the imperial court has exhausted the three-way army, the fall of the Gao clan in Dali is a foregone conclusion, but the Gao clan can control the Dali regime for a hundred years, and it is a usurpation of the dynasty. ”

"No need to pay the job!" Song Wanzhang suddenly exclaimed.

The other three patriarchs were also incredulous, when they heard that the four major families were going to send at least 5,000 troops, they were very reluctant, but when they heard that the capture did not need to be handed over to the public, they were immediately moved.

Dali Chengping for two hundred years, coupled with the warm and suitable climate, quite wealthy, the four patriarchs naturally have heard of it, if they can follow the Great Song Dynasty army to go on the expedition, wouldn't it be like the Maritime Silk Road, follow the Shenzhou to the sea maritime merchants, there is no risk, only to make money.

What's more important is that what they are doing is a business without capital, and it is a well-deserved wealth.

Yang Changchun's heart moved: "General Fan said that at least 5,000 troops will be sent, so can you bring more?" ”

"There is no cap! But each tribe should prepare its own grain and grass. Fan Zheng waved his hand.

"That's nature!" Yang Changchun nodded without hesitation.

"Since this is the case, then the patriarchs will now write back to prepare for the manpower, and the four of you will now send troops to Dali with me." Fan Zheng said proudly.

"Ahh Send troops to Dali now? The four patriarchs couldn't help but be stunned, looking at Fan Zheng in disbelief, they didn't expect Fan Zheng to be so urgent.

Fan Zhengdao: "The plan to cut off the belly is a strange plan, naturally it will be unexpected, if Dali gets the news, take precautions, naturally do not get the effect of the surprise attack, now the soldiers and horses are gathered, naturally send troops one day earlier, and one day can pacify Dali." ”

"But we haven't gathered anyone yet!" Song Wanzhang said cautiously.

"It's okay, you just need to send the letter back, and I believe that the four clans will definitely gather people to follow." Fan Zheng said disapprerovingly.

The four patriarchs couldn't help but be silent, they understood that it must be the evil doctor Fan who was preventing them from reporting to Dali, so that Dali could be prepared.

Yang Changchun said solemnly: "Fan Taicheng arranged it like this, and we naturally had no objections, but although Dali was empty in the rear, it was not defenseless against the Great Song Dynasty, and a stone city pass was built between Juzhou and Marble City County!" The terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to win in a short time. ”

"Shicheng Pass!"

The other three patriarchs couldn't help but breathe, they often corresponded with Dali, and naturally they were quite familiar with Shicheng Pass, if they attacked strongly, I am afraid they would suffer heavy losses.

Fan Zheng smiled slightly and said, "A small stone city pass can also block the Song army's soldiers. ”

Yang Changchun reminded: "Fan Taicheng is like a god with soldiers, and we have also heard that the Shicheng guards will be loyal to Dali, and there is no possibility of bribery, and the Great Song Dynasty and Dali are at war, and the Shimen Pass guards will definitely be on guard against the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Fan Zhenglang said: "Since you have heard of Fan, you naturally know that what Fan is best at is gunpowder weapons!" ”

"Gunpowder weapons!"

The four patriarchs couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts, and couldn't help but think of the legend that Fan Zheng used the Heaven-Shaking Thunder to defeat Western Xia in Pingxia City.

"As soon as the earth-shattering thunder came out, the era of fortified cities has become a thing of the past." Fan Zheng said with emotion, adding sugar, the more powerful gunpowder weapon is his biggest hole card, and it is also the greatest confidence for him to dare to carry out the plan of cutting off his belly.

This time he brought a large amount of gunpowder with him, and there will be a steady stream of gunpowder in the future, and this time he wants to let the world know the power of gunpowder.

"Come on, immediately ask the patriarchs to write a letter, remember, if you leak the news and cause the surprise attack on Shichengguan to fail, then Fan's sky-shaking thunder will probably be used on you, I don't know if your walled city can resist the sky-shaking thunder." Fan Zheng warned.

"I'll swear to follow Da Song to the death." The four patriarchs suddenly froze, and hurriedly said in unison.

The four of them immediately wrote a letter and handed it to Yang Bangyi for inspection, and then sent someone back to the clan.

"Pass the order, set off with the whole army, and surprise attack Shimen Pass!"

After doing all this, Fan Zheng ordered directly.

If it is an ordinary general, such a long-distance march will definitely be tired of carriage and horses, and the army will rest on the spot, but Fan Zheng understands that the protagonist of this battle has changed from soldiers to gunpowder, as long as the gunpowder weapon can explode, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty will be invincible.

……………………

Outside the Stone City Pass, in the dense forest.

Fan Zheng was holding the telescope transformed by the doctor, looking at the loose soldiers on the stone city gate, and couldn't help but nod slightly.

Although Dali and the Great Song Dynasty are at war, now the main fronts of Dali are in the direction of Tubo and Sichuan-Shu, and the defense of the east road is not strict at all, and the soldiers' patrols are also perfunctory.

"How many guards are there in Shicheng Pass!" Fan Zheng asked.

Yang Changchun replied: "General Qiyu Fan, there are two thousand defenders in Shicheng Pass. ”

"Two thousand defenders?" Fan Zheng nodded, which was similar to the information he had gotten.

"General Fan, the last general is willing to be the vanguard and take Shicheng Pass!" Yang Bangyi was eager to try.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Since it is a surprise attack on Shicheng Pass, it is naturally necessary to focus on a strange word, if it is a frontal hard attack, it is naturally inevitable to be killed and injured, and after night, lead a thousand elites of the Song army, quietly approach Shicheng Pass, blow up the city gate, and take Shicheng Pass!" ”

"The last general obeys!"

Yang Bangyi arched his hand, he was sure to capture Shicheng Pass with a frontal attack, and if it was a night attack, the victory rate would increase by three percent out of thin air.

"The four patriarchs are not in a hurry, I can stay overnight at Shicheng Pass tonight." Fan Zheng looked at the four patriarchs and smiled slightly.

"General Fan is mighty!"

The four patriarchs hurriedly cooperated, but they didn't think so, thinking that although Fan Zheng had good medical skills, he was too young to lead the army.

And now what is going to be attacked is a dangerous pass, and if you want to win it in a night attack, I'm afraid it's too simple.

Fan Zheng is undeniable, he is quite confident in Song Jun, now Song Jun has a sufficient supply of meat, and has long been free of night blindness, plus there is a special explosive package designed by the firearms supervisor to blast the city gate, after the firearms supervisor's experiment, it is enough to blast the city gate.

With heart or not, it is enough for the Great Song Dynasty to break through Shimen Pass in one battle.

…………………………

It's night!

Yang Bangyi led an elite of the Song army to quietly approach Shicheng Pass, and Shicheng Pass was really lax, until the Song army approached Shicheng Pass 200 paces, and no sentry suddenly noticed.

"Who is it?"

Shicheng closed the Dali patrol defenders shouted.

However, in response to him was a crossbow arrow with a divine arm, which went straight to his throat.

"Enemy attack!"

The other Dali defenders reacted and hurriedly shouted warnings, but most of the defenders were still in the barracks, and in an instant, the entire Shicheng Pass was in chaos.

"Quick! Immediately overwhelm the defenders with the Divine Arm Crossbow, and the Demoman prepares gunpowder to blast the gates. Yang Bangyi immediately ordered.

In an instant, the Song army no longer concealed its figure, and a team of god-armed crossbowmen began to shoot at the city wall, suppressing the few patrolling defenders.

And a group of Song troops who had been prepared for a long time immediately rushed to the gate of Shicheng Pass with heavy explosives bags, and they could even hear the sound of the Dali defenders in Shicheng Pass urgently assembling.

As the explosives bags piled up at the city gate, a Song army skillfully picked up the fire fold and led the way.

At this moment, when the Song army saw this, the enemy hurriedly retreated, even the Song army that was attacking with the divine arm crossbow was no exception, and the Song army, which had no time to retreat, directly prostrate on the ground to reduce the damage.

"What's the matter, what about Song Jun?"

The guards of Stone City hurried to the city gate, only to find that there was calm outside the city.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a dazzling firelight accompanied by a huge sound came, and suddenly the entire Shicheng Pass shook the mountains for a while.

"Gunpowder! Gunpowder of the Song people. ”

The Shicheng guards were the first to bear the brunt of the blast wave, and they were not stable at all, and they were directly knocked to the ground.

As a guard, he naturally knew the strongest weapon of the Great Song Dynasty, gunpowder, but he didn't know that the gunpowder weapon of the Great Song Dynasty had reached such a powerful power.

"That's right, the city gates!"

Huo Ran, the guard of Shicheng, was shocked, and hurriedly struggled to get up, and when he heard the voice, he knew that the focus of the Song army's attack was the city gate.

"General, the city gate is broken!" A Dali defender said with a frightened face.

"It's broken!"

The Shicheng Pass guard stayed there for a moment, and in his opinion, the Shicheng Pass, which was as solid as a golden man, was actually broken under the blow of the Song army.

"The gates are broken! Rush me! ”

When Yang Bangyi saw the success of the surprise attack, he was overjoyed and immediately ordered an attack.

At that moment, thousands of elite Song troops immediately rushed into Shicheng Pass, and the current Shicheng Pass defenders were killed by the Song army before they could figure out the situation.

Even if there was sporadic resistance, under the attack of the Great Song Dynasty's new earth-shattering thunder, it quickly collapsed.

"Stone City is over! Shanxian Mansion is also in danger! Dali is also in danger, and the last general is ashamed of his trust in Gao Xianggong! "The Shicheng guard saw that the general trend had gone, and in despair, he drew his sword and killed himself.

He served as the guard of Shicheng Pass, but he was promoted by Gao Shengtai, and now he lost Shicheng Pass so easily, so he was naturally embarrassed.

And he knew that the Great Song Dynasty had such a powerful gunpowder weapon, and he had broken through the Shicheng Pass, and there was no danger to the Gao family's fiefdom Shanxian Mansion and Dali, and there was no danger of the pass, plus the heavy troops of Dali were all pinned, I am afraid that they would not be able to resist the attack of the Great Song Dynasty at all.

This time, Dali may not be able to return to the sky. (End of chapter)
