Ten days ago!

South of Dali City, Longwei Pass! An army of 200,000 is gathered!

The entire Longwei Pass was suddenly like a big enemy, and they were ready for battle.

Decades ago, the Bagan Dynasty in the south attacked Dali, even with servant soldiers was only about 100,000, but who would have thought that this time 200,000 soldiers and horses would come to Longwei Pass again.

"General Fan!"

The leaders of the Southwest Yi and the 36 Departments of Eastern Yunnan gathered in the Song Army's big tent to discuss the attack on Longwei Pass.

"Now we have 200,000 horses, and the Bagan State attacked Dali with a maximum of 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the general only needs a letter of surrender to promote the pardon of the Gao family father and son, so that Duan Zhengchun can obediently go out of the city and surrender." Song Wanzhang said in high spirits.

Along the way, they were invincible, and they had already developed the habit of arrogance, not to mention that they had 200,000 horses, the defeat of Dali City was decided, and Duan Zhengchun would definitely surrender obediently if he was interested.

Mo Mibu Monti shook his head and said: "It's a pity that it is not Duan Zhengchun who is really in power in Dali City, but Gao Shengtai and his son, who ordered to clear the field and gather heavy troops to defend Longwei Pass, I am afraid it is impossible to surrender easily." ”

"Yes, the Longwei Pass was broken back then because Dali took the initiative to send troops to defeat the Longwei Pass, and the real Longwei Pass has never been breached." The leader of another barbarian tribe said solemnly.

The various tribes of the Southwest Yi are naturally willing to persuade them to surrender, so that they can occupy Dali and obtain the greatest benefits without much effort.

The 36th Department of Eastern Yunnan is unwilling to persuade to surrender, because once the Gao family father and son surrender, then they will lose the excuse to kill the Gao family father and son, and over time, they will definitely be retaliated by the Gao family.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Persuasion is the next policy, the Gao family father and son are not willing to lose the power in their hands at all, not to mention that Dali knows that our army does not have much food and grass, and will definitely deliberately delay time and consume our army's food and grass, when the time comes, the Gao family father and son are unwilling to surrender, and our army is short of food and grass, I am afraid that there will be a risk of annihilation." ”

Everyone couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts, about the problem of grain and grass for the army, they naturally knew in their hearts that the closer they got to Dali City, the more difficult it would be to obtain grain and grass, and they might not last long with their own grain and grass alone.

Now the only way is to break the city quickly to solve the food and grass crisis of the army.

Monti said respectfully towards Fan Zheng: "The only way to do this is to attack the city with a large army, we have 200,000 horses, plus the earth-shattering thunder in General Fan's hands, we will definitely fight like Shanxian Mansion." ”

Monti can respect the gunpowder weapons of the Song army, and such a powerful gunpowder weapon can break through the Longwei Pass in one fell swoop.

The various departments of Southwest Yi also moved in their hearts, and couldn't help but look at Fan Zheng, in this way, it is also a way to break the city.

Fan Zheng spread his hands and said: "Attacking Longwei Pass is the middle strategy, and Longwei Pass is a dangerous pass, if you want to attack it, you will definitely suffer heavy casualties." What's more, Fan came to the east of the road, using gunpowder weapons to open the way, consuming a lot, and recently in order to raise food and grass for the army, he continued to use gunpowder weapons to conquer the important town of Dali, and now the gunpowder weapons in the hands of the Song army are not much, once they are exhausted, I am afraid it will be difficult to break through Longwei Pass. ”

"What, there aren't many gunpowder weapons!"

The patriarch exclaimed in amazement, and no one thought that at the most critical moment, the strongest weapons of the Song army were not many.

Monty's face was gloomy and he said, "General Fan shouldn't have deliberately entertained me and waited!" At the beginning, we intended to withdraw our troops, and General Fan promised to break the city with one blow, but now instead of persuading us to surrender, we don't even have many gunpowder weapons, do we want to use our flesh and blood to break through this Longwei Pass. ”

In the entire military tent, everyone's faces were solemn.

Now that the army is short of food and grass, and there are not many gunpowder weapons, if we can't break through Longwei Pass in a short time, I am afraid that there will be a crisis of annihilation.

They have all seen Longwei Pass with their own eyes, if they attack Longwei Pass with flesh and blood, I am afraid that it will take countless lives to fill it, and their various departments are not subordinate to each other, I am afraid it is impossible to desperately attack Longwei Pass.

All the patriarchs were a little impatient, they originally believed that the evil doctor Fan Zheng had a way to break the city, but now the two methods of persuasion and gunpowder are not advisable, which makes their hearts suddenly impetuous.

Yang Changchun of the Banzhou Yang clan saw the calm face of the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and said in his heart: "General Fan once said that persuasion is the next strategy, and a strong attack is the middle strategy, and there must be a good way to break the city with one blow." ”

In an instant, all eyes were on Fan Zheng.

Fan Zheng didn't answer and asked: "Dali is so arrogant? It does not rely on the natural risk of Dali City, there is Longshou Pass in the north, Longwei Pass in the south, Erhai Lake in the east, Cangshan Mountain in the west, it can be said that it is a collection of natural risks. ”

Everyone nodded thoughtfully, anyone who encounters a place like Dali City, which is surrounded by natural dangers, I am afraid that they will be helpless, and the 100,000 elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty back then were completely wiped out under the Dragon Head Pass.

"The experience of the Tang army is enough to prove that it is not advisable to storm Longwei Pass, so should we turn the direction and attack in another direction?" Fan Zhengdao.

"Attack in another direction, can we still swim through Erhai Lake!" Monti frowned.

The Great Song army is coming, Dali has long been prepared, and has already collected the ships in Erhai, and the Song army is probably too late to build ships now, even if it is barely enough to build a small number of ships to cross Erhai, I am afraid that it will only be sent to death.

Fan Zheng said calmly: "Since Erhai is not good, what about the direction of Cangshan?" If our army crosses Cangshan, bypasses Longwei Pass, and goes straight to Dali City, Dali City will definitely go down in a battle. ”

"Crossing the mountains!"

Suddenly, in the military tent, all the departments of Southwest Yi and the 36 departments of Eastern Yunnan were in an uproar, and no one thought that the evil prescription of the evil doctor Fan Zheng would actually cross Cangshan.

"Cangshan? Cangshan is even more precipitous, the snow does not melt all year round, and the lofty mountains and mountains stretch endlessly,............。 "Mengti is full of dangers to Cangshan, and Cangshan is the sacred mountain of Dali, and he is extremely in awe of it.

Fan Zheng looked at the snow-covered Cangshan Mountain all year round, and sneered: "There is a saying in the Great Song Dynasty that it is dark under the lamp, thinking that the most dangerous place is the safest place, but I don't know that the safest place in this world may be the most dangerous place." ”

"The safest place is the most dangerous place!" Everyone looked at Fan Zheng in confusion. Dali takes the natural danger of Cangshan as a barrier,

"It's dark under the lights!"

Yang Bangyi suddenly moved, and set his eyes on Cangshan, which is covered with snow all year round.

Fan Zheng got up and looked at Cangshan Mountain from afar, only to see that the peaks of Cangshan Mountain were covered with snow all year round, but they were at the foot of the mountain, but they were as warm as spring.

"Cangshan Mountain is indeed extremely steep, but it is only the main peak, between the peaks, there is not no way to cross! If I wait to cross Cangshan from the mountains between the peaks, I will definitely be able to capture Dali City in one fell swoop. ”

"Crossing the mountains!"

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim, no one thought that the evil prescription of the evil doctor Fan Zheng would be so evil, and he actually wanted to cross Cangshan, so that the two major Xiongguan in Dali were useless.

"How is that possible? Cangshan has never been crossed by an army! Monty said in disbelief.

At the moment, Fan Zheng picked up a map, which was a topographic map of Cangshan, and said: "If our army can start from Shimen Pass, we only need to cross Cangshan, and there will be no dangerous peaks after that!" It is enough to go directly to the city of Dali. ”

Fan Zheng remembered that Kublai Khan crossed Cangshan from Shimen Pass, directly attacked Dali City, pacified Dali in a war, and after later generations crossed Shimen Pass, he once built a very broad Dali Cangshan Global Geopark, since it is a park, it is naturally not too steep, but it is the most suitable place to climb over Cangshan.

"Maybe! There is no snow on this main peak, which shows that the terrain is quite low. Yang Changchun's eyes lit up.

Although it is quite risky to climb over Cangshan, the huge benefits obtained from breaking Dali City are enough to make people crazy.

"That's Cangshan, there are poisonous insects everywhere at the foot of the mountain, the cold wind is cold on the top of the mountain, not to mention that there are many steep places, even if you forcibly climb over from Shimen Pass, I'm afraid you will suffer heavy casualties." Monty was worried.

He often lives in the forest, and naturally knows the horror of the forest mang, and he is afraid that if he is not careful, he will die.

As soon as Monty mentioned the horror of the deep mountains and forests, almost all the leaders changed their faces and couldn't help but be afraid.

Fan Zhenglang said: "Fan naturally knows the horror of Lin Mang in the deep mountains, if it is the Song army that has been in the Central Plains for a long time, Fan may give up this plan, but you are not, you often live in the southwest forest Mang, although Lin Mang is terrifying, but you are not without a way to deal with it." ”

The 36 tribes of eastern Yunnan and the various tribes of southwest Yi couldn't help but have a trace of arrogance on their faces, almost all the ethnic groups in the southwest were dealing with the deep mountains and forests, and it was not that they could not survive in the deep mountains.

"Besides, you have forgotten Fan's nickname, the evil doctor!" Fan Zheng said proudly.

"Evil Doctor Fan Zheng!"

Everyone looked at Fan Zheng in admiration, and along the way, they witnessed the strangeness of the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

"Although he is known as an evil doctor, he is also a doctor, and the biggest role of a doctor is to save lives and help the wounded, Fan is one of the best, with Fan's medicine, coupled with your many years of experience in Lin Mang, it is not worrying to climb over Cangshan." Fan Zheng said proudly.

"Evil medicine!"

A group of Wuman and Nanyi nodded slightly, they had personally experienced the miracle of Dali Baiyao created by the evil doctor Fan Zheng, even if it was a mortal injury in ordinary times, after the evil doctor Fan Zheng disinfected it with alcohol, and then applied Dali Baiyao, they were miraculously recovered.

Not to mention that there are many people who have been cured by the evil doctor Fan Zheng himself with magical medical skills, and everyone naturally has great trust in the evil doctor Fan Zheng's medical skills.

"This plan works!"

Yang Changchun's eyes lit up.

Whether it is the Song army, the Wuman and the Southwest Yi who cross Cangshan alone, I am afraid that they will suffer heavy losses.

However, if the evil doctor Fan Zheng's medicine and the years of experience of Wuman and Southwest Yi in Lin Mang, it would be enough to conquer the lowest peak of Cangshan.

Once they cross the Cangshan Mountain, they will be like a god general, suddenly appear outside the city of Dali, and then Dali will be like a lamb to the slaughter, let them take it.

The thirty-six departments of eastern Yunnan and the various departments of southwest Yi were suddenly excited, and the evil prescription of the evil doctor Fan Zheng to cross Cangshan was indeed the simplest and most effective, and it was the way to break the city with one blow.

"Do you take the initiative to attack the heavily guarded Longwei Pass, where the outcome is unknown, or choose to climb over Cangshan and break through Dali City with one blow." Fan Zheng put the final choice in front of everyone.

"I'll wait to follow General Fan to the death!" A group of patriarchs are gearing up.

Obviously, Fan Zheng's evil side of Cangshan moved them, and as soon as this evil side came out, Dali City was very likely to fall in a battle.

"Good! All the soldiers who participate in crossing Cangshan will be rewarded by this general, and they can give priority to dividing the wealth of Dali City! Fan Zheng solemnly promised.

Suddenly, all the patriarchs breathed shortly, and everyone knew that more than half of Dali's wealth was concentrated in Dali City, and if they could have fought this battle, their harvest would probably exceed all the previous sums.

At present, the 36 departments of eastern Yunnan and the various departments of southwest Yi enthusiastically asked to participate in the plan to cross Cangshan, and even quarreled.

"Okay, all tribes can participate, but all of them must be good at crossing the forest often." Fan Zheng made the final decision.

The more familiar you are with Lin Mang, the more you can survive in Cangshan and Linmang, and the more soldiers will arrive in Dali City.

"But Cangshan is covered with snow all year round, and although the Longquan Peak behind Shimen Pass is low, the night on the top of the mountain must be extremely cold!" Monti frowned.

Although they had already made up their mind to climb over the mountains, there was still a lot to prepare.

Fan Zheng said calmly: "In addition to cold forging armor, the current equipment of the Song army is cotton armor, and cotton armor can not only defend but also resist cold, and let the soldiers bring more clothes, which is enough to resist the cold on the top of the mountain." ”

With a wave of his hand, Fan Zheng equipped all the cotton armor of the Song army on the soldiers who crossed the Cangshan Mountain.

"The mountain road is difficult to walk, bring enough alcohol and Dali white medicine! Just in case, General Yang, you will lead the army over Cangshan this time. Fan Zheng arranged.

Although the Southwest Yi and the 36 Eastern Yunnan Divisions all worked together in this battle, the final dominance still needed the elite of the Great Song Dynasty, and Yang Bangyi was the best candidate.

"The last general commands!" Yang Bangyi said solemnly.

This battle is probably the last battle of Dali, and if he succeeds, he will definitely become famous in the first battle.

"There is also a war horse that cannot climb over the Cangshan Mountain, you carry enough gunpowder weapons, this battle must be successful." Fan Zheng arranged.

"Yes!"

Yang Bangyi responded.

Seeing that the Song army had invested enough blood, the various departments of Southwest Yi and the 36 departments of eastern Yunnan offered suggestions one after another.

"There are many Gu worms in the deep mountains and forests, and all soldiers must wrap all their bare skin with yellow mud."

"Yellow mud alone is not enough to ensure completeness, Lin Mang is poisoned by snakes and poisonous insects everywhere, and his feet and legs must be wrapped in bamboo strips or bark, so light and does not affect walking, and can defend against poisonous snake attacks."

"We are not proficient in the terrain of Shimen Pass, so we can break through a cottage near Shimen Pass, and let its experienced hunters lead the way over Cangshan."

"You also need to carry enough rope."

…………………………

A group of leaders have made suggestions for this trip.

Soon, one by one, the recipes came to the fore, and everyone was surprised to find that the trip had a great chance of success.

With the completion of the discussion of the East Route Army, a team of 30,000 people quietly set off in the direction of Shimen Pass, and the 200,000 men and horses were only 30,000 less, which did not arouse the vigilance of any Longwei Pass guards at all.

Even if the guards of Longwei Pass found out, they would only think that this team was to loot grain and grass, and they didn't expect that a strange army was about to fall from the sky and directly attack Dali City. (End of chapter)
