Ten days ago!

South of Dali City, under Longwei Pass! Two hundred thousand troops gathered!

The entire Longwei Pass suddenly felt like it was facing a formidable enemy and was ready to fight.

Decades ago, the Bagan dynasty in the south attacked Dali with only about 100,000 servants, but who would have thought that this time, 200,000 troops would once again come to Longwei Pass.

"General Fan!"

The leaders of the southwestern Yi tribes and the thirty-six tribes in eastern Yunnan gathered in the Song army's tent to discuss the attack on Longweiguan.

"Now we have 200,000 troops. When Bagan attacked Dali, they could only have 100,000 troops at most. The general only needs to issue a letter of surrender, advocating the pardon of the Gao family and his son, and he can make Duan Zhengchun obediently leave the city and surrender." Song Wanzhang said with high spirits.

Along the way, they were invincible and invincible. They had already developed the habit of arrogance. Not to mention that they had 200,000 troops. The defeat of Dali City was certain. If Duan Zhengchun had sense, he would definitely behave. of surrender.

Momibu Mengti shook his head and said: "It's a pity that the real power in Dali City is not Duan Zhengchun, but Gao Shengtai and his son. He ordered the walls to be fortified and the country to be cleared, and he also assembled heavy troops to defend Longwei Pass. I'm afraid it's impossible to surrender easily."

"Yes, Longwei Pass was breached back then because Dali took the initiative to send troops and was defeated. However, the real Longwei Pass has never been breached." Another leader of the Wuman tribe said solemnly.

The tribes of the southwestern barbarians are naturally willing to persuade them to surrender. In this way, they can occupy Dali without any effort and gain maximum benefits.

The Thirty-Sixth Division of Eastern Yunnan was unwilling to persuade them to surrender, because once the Gao family and his son surrendered, they would lose the excuse to kill the Gao family and his son. Over time, they would definitely be retaliated by the Gao family. Only the Gao family and his son could be killed. The thirty-six tribes in eastern Yunnan are at ease.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Persuading surrender is the last resort. The Gao family and his son are not willing to lose the power in their hands. Not to mention that Dali knows that our army does not have much food and grass, so it will definitely delay time and consume our army's food and grass. When the time comes, , the Gao family and his son are unwilling to surrender, our army is short of food and grass, and there may be a risk of the entire army being annihilated."

Everyone couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. Regarding the issue of food and fodder for the army, they naturally knew clearly that the closer they got to Dali City, the more difficult it would be to obtain food and fodder. I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to last long with their own food and fodder alone.

The only way now is to quickly break through the city to solve the army's food crisis.

Monty said respectfully towards Fan Zheng: "The only plan now is to attack the city with a large army. We have 200,000 troops, and with the help of the thunder in General Fan's hand, we will definitely be like Shanchan Mansion." Fight and go down.”

Monty highly praised the Song Army's gunpowder weapons. Such powerful gunpowder weapons could surely break through Longwei Pass in one fell swoop.

The various tribes in southwestern Yi were also moved in their hearts and couldn't help but look at Fan Zheng. This was also a way to destroy the city.

Fan Zheng spread his hands and said: "A strong attack on Longwei Pass is the best strategy. First of all, Longwei Pass is a dangerous pass. If you want to attack it by force, you will definitely suffer heavy casualties. What's more, Fan came all the way east and used gunpowder weapons to clear the way and consume There are quite a lot. Recently, in order to raise food and fodder for the army, they have continuously used gunpowder weapons to conquer the important town of Dali. Now there are not many gunpowder weapons in the hands of the Song army. Once they are used up, it may be difficult to break through Longwei Pass."

"What, there are not many gunpowder weapons left!"

All the clan leaders exclaimed. No one expected that at the most critical moment, the Song Army would not have many of the strongest weapons.

Monty said with a gloomy face: "Isn't General Fan deliberately trying to amuse us? When we wanted to retreat, General Fan promised to break the city with one blow. Now, instead of persuading him to surrender, he doesn't even have many gunpowder weapons. Do you want to use me?" Wait for your flesh and blood to break through this Dragon Tail Pass."

Everyone in the entire military tent looked solemn.

Nowadays, the army is short of food and grass, and there are not many gunpowder weapons. If it cannot break through Longwei Pass in a short time, I am afraid that there will be a crisis of annihilation of the entire army.

They have all seen Longwei Pass with their own eyes. If they attack Longwei Pass with flesh and blood, they may need countless lives. And since their various ministries are not subordinate to each other, it may be impossible to attack Longwei Pass with all their strength.

All the clan leaders were a little impatient. They originally believed that the evil doctor Fan Zheng had a way to defeat the city, but now that the two methods of persuading surrender and gunpowder were unavailable, they suddenly became impetuous.

Yang Changchun of the Bozhou Yang Family saw the calm face of the evil doctor Fan Zheng and said in his heart: "General Fan once said that persuading surrender is the worst strategy, while attacking by force is the middle strategy. I think there must be a good way to destroy the city with one blow."

In an instant, all eyes were focused on Fan Zheng.

Fan Zheng did not answer and asked instead: "Why is Dali so arrogant? Isn't it relying on the natural dangers of Dali City? There are Longshou Pass in the north, Longwei Pass in the south, Erhai Lake in the east, and Cangshan Mountain in the west. It can be said that it combines natural dangers." .”

Everyone nodded in agreement. Anyone who encounters a place with natural dangers on all sides like Dali City would probably be helpless. The one hundred thousand elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were all wiped out at Longshou Pass.

"The lessons learned by the Tang Army are enough to prove that it is not advisable to storm Longwei Pass. Then should we change the direction and attack from another direction." Fan Zhengdao.

"If we attack in another direction, can we still swim across the Erhai Lake?" Monty frowned.

When the Song army invaded, Dali had already prepared for it and had already captured the ships in the Erhai Lake. It was probably too late for the Song army to build ships now. Even if they managed to build a small number of ships to cross the Erhai Lake, they would probably only risk their lives.

Fan Zheng said calmly: "Since Erhai cannot work, what about the direction of Cangshan Mountain? If our army passes through Cangshan Mountain, bypasses Longwei Pass, and goes straight into Dali City, Dali City will definitely fall in a single battle."

"Crossing Cangshan Mountain!"

Suddenly, in the military tent, all the southwestern Yi tribes and the thirty-six tribes in eastern Yunnan were in an uproar. No one thought that the evil doctor Fan Zheng's evil recipe was to cross Cangshan Mountain.

"Cangshan? Cangshan is even more dangerous, with snow that never melts all year round, and endless mountains and ridges..." Monty talked endlessly about the dangers of 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 Mountains that never melted all year round and sneered: "In the Song Dynasty, there is a saying that it is dark under the lamp. They think that the most dangerous place is the safest place, but they don't know that the safest place in the world may be The most dangerous place."

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

"It's dark under the lamp!"

Yang Bangyi suddenly moved and turned his attention to Cangshan Mountain, which is covered with snow all year round.

Fan Zheng stood up and looked at Cangshan Mountain in the distance. He saw that the peaks of Cangshan Mountain were covered with snow all year round, but they were as warm as spring at the foot of the mountain.

"Cangshan Mountain is indeed extremely steep, but that is just the main peak. There are ways to cross between the peaks! If we cross Cangshan Mountain from the mountains between the peaks, we will definitely be able to capture Dali City in one fell swoop."

"Crossing Cangshan Mountain!"

Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed. No one thought that the evil doctor Fan Zheng's evil recipe was so evil. He actually wanted to cross Cangshan Mountain. In this way, the two great passes of Dali were in vain.

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

"Just because it has not been traveled before does not mean that it cannot be traveled. At the moment, Fan Zheng picked up a map, and it was the topographic map of Cangshan Mountain. He immediately said: "If our army can set off from Shimen Pass, it only needs to climb over Cangshan Mountain. From then on, There are no more dangerous peaks! Enough to reach directly to Dali City. "

Fan Zheng remembered that Kublai Khan crossed the Cangshan Mountain from Shimen Pass and directly attacked the city of Dali. He pacified Dali in one battle. Moreover, after crossing Shimen Pass in later generations, he once built a Dali Cangshan Global Geopark that covers an extremely large area. Since it is a park, then Naturally, the terrain is not too steep, and it is the most suitable place to climb Cangshan Mountain.

"Maybe it's feasible! There is no snow on the main peak, so the terrain is quite low." Yang Changchun's eyes lit up.

Although it is risky to cross Cangshan Mountain, the huge benefits gained from conquering Dali City are enough to make people crazy.

"That's Cangshan Mountain. There are poisonous insects at the foot of the mountain, and the cold wind is biting on the top of the mountain. Not to mention there are many steep places. Even if we force ourselves to climb over Shimen Pass, we will probably suffer heavy casualties." Monty said worriedly. He often lives in the woods, so he naturally knows the terror of the deep forests in Dali. He is afraid that if he is not careful, he will die.

When Monty mentioned the horror of the deep mountains and forests, almost all the leaders' expressions changed, and they couldn't help but feel fear.

Fan Zheng said loudly: "Fan naturally knows the terror of the deep mountains and forests. If it was the Song Army who had been in the Central Plains for a long time, Fan might give up this plan, but that is not the case for you. You often live in the forests of the southwest. Although the forests are terrifying, Fan Zheng said loudly. , but it’s not that you don’t have ways to deal with it.”

The thirty-six tribes in eastern Yunnan and the Yi tribes in the southwest couldn't help but have a hint of pride on their faces. Almost all the tribes in the southwest dealt with the deep mountains and forests, and it was not impossible to survive in the mountains.

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

"Evil doctor Fan Zheng!"

Everyone looked at Fan Zheng with admiration. Along the way, they witnessed with their own eyes the strangeness of the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

"Although I am known as an evil doctor, I am also a doctor. The biggest role of a doctor is to save lives and heal the wounded. Fan is one of the best. With Fan's good medicine and your many years of experience in the forest, there is no need to worry about crossing the Cangshan Mountain. ." Fan Zheng said proudly.

"Evil medicine!"

The Wuman and Southwest Yi nodded slightly. They had personally experienced the magic of Dali Baiyao created by the evil doctor Fan Zheng. Even injuries that would normally be fatal were disinfected by the evil doctor Fan Zheng with alcohol and then applied with Dali Baiyao. Surprisingly, each one of them made a miraculous recovery.

Not to mention that many people have been cured by the evil doctor Fan Zheng himself with his miraculous medical skills. Naturally, everyone has great trust in the medical skills of the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

"This plan works!"

Yang Changchun's eyes lit up and he said.

Whether the Song army or the Wuman and Southwest Yi people cross Cangshan Mountain alone, they will probably suffer heavy losses.

However, if the evil doctor Fan Zheng's good medicine and the Wuman and Southwest Yi's many years of experience in the forest are enough to conquer the lowest peak of Cangshan Mountain.

Once they cross Cangshan Mountain, they will suddenly appear outside Dali City like divine soldiers and generals. At that time, Dali will be like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, allowing them to take whatever they want.

The thirty-six tribes in eastern Yunnan and the barbarians in southwestern Yunnan were immediately excited. The evil doctor Fan Zheng's evil method of crossing Cangshan Mountain was indeed the simplest and most effective way to defeat the city with one blow.

"Should we take the initiative to attack Longwei Pass, which is heavily guarded and the outcome is unknown, or should we choose to climb over Cangshan Mountain and attack Dali City with one blow." Fan Zheng put the final choice in front of everyone.

"We will follow General Fan to the death!" the clan leaders said, gearing up.

Obviously, Fan Zheng's evil recipe for crossing Cangshan Mountain impressed them. Once this evil recipe comes out, Dali City is very likely to fall in one battle.

"Okay! As long as the soldiers who participate in crossing Cangshan Mountain will be rewarded heavily by this general, they will also be given priority in dividing the wealth of Dali City!" Fan Zheng solemnly promised.

All the clan leaders suddenly gasped for breath. Everyone knew that more than half of Dali's wealth was concentrated in Dali City. If they could have fought this battle, their gains would probably exceed the total of all before.

At present, the thirty-six tribes in eastern Yunnan and the tribes in southwestern Yunnan enthusiastically requested to participate in the plan to cross the Cangshan Mountain, and even quarreled fiercely.

"Okay, all tribes can participate, but all of them must be good players who often travel through the forest." Fan Zheng said decisively.

The more familiar the barbarians are with the forest, the better they can survive in the Cangshan forest, and the more soldiers will reach Dali City.

"But Cangshan Mountain is covered with snow all year round. Although Longquan Peak behind Shimen Pass is low in terrain, the nights on the top of the mountain must be extremely cold!" Monty frowned.

Although they have made a strange plan to cross Cangshan Mountain, there are still many things that really need to be prepared.

Fan Zheng said calmly: "In addition to cold-forged armor, the Song Army's current equipment is cotton armor. Cotton armor can not only defend but also resist cold. Let the soldiers bring more clothes, which is enough to withstand the severe cold on the top of the mountain."

Fan Zheng waved his hand and equipped all the Song army's cotton armor on the soldiers crossing Cangshan Mountain.

"The mountain road is difficult to walk, so bring enough alcohol and Dali Baiyao! Just in case something unexpected happens, General Yang, you will lead the army across Cangshan Mountain this time." Fan Zheng arranged.

Although the southwestern Yi and the thirty-six tribes in eastern Yunnan all worked together in this battle, the final leadership required the elite of the Song Dynasty, and Yang Bangyi was the best candidate.

"The last general takes orders!" Yang Bangyi said solemnly.

This battle may be Dali's last battle. If he succeeds, he will definitely become famous in this battle.

"It is also impossible for war horses to cross Cangshan Mountain. If you carry enough gunpowder weapons, this battle must be successful." Fan Zheng arranged.

"Yes!"

Yang Bangyi responded.

Seeing that the Song army had spent enough money, various tribes in the southwestern Yi and the thirty-six tribes in eastern Yunnan offered their advice and suggestions.

"There are so many bugs in the deep mountains and forests that all soldiers must wrap all exposed skin with yellow mud."

"Yellow mud alone is not enough to ensure completeness. Venomous snakes and venomous insects are everywhere in the forest. The feet and legs must be wrapped with bamboo strips or bark. It is so light that it does not affect walking and can prevent sneak attacks by poisonous snakes."

"We are not proficient in the terrain of Shimen Pass. We can break into a village near Shimen Pass and let its experienced hunters lead the way across Cangshan Mountain."

“You also need to carry enough rope.”

..............................

A group of leaders spoke to each other and offered advice and suggestions for this trip.

Soon, each good recipe came to the fore, and everyone was surprised to find that this trip had a great chance of success.

As the East Route Army's deliberations were completed, a team of 30,000 people quietly set off in the direction of Shimen Pass. The 200,000 troops were only 30,000 less, which did not arouse the alertness of any Longwei Pass guard at all.

Even if the guards at Longwei Pass found out, they would only think that this team was trying to plunder food and grass. They had no idea that a strange army was about to fall from the sky and directly attack Dali City. (End of chapter)
