Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

"boom!"

The sound of blasting the city gate was like thunder from the sky. The huge sound spread throughout the entire mountain forest in the dark night, frightening large numbers of birds and beasts. Naturally, it also alarmed the Song Army camp ten miles away.

"This is?"

Song Wanzhang was awakened by the loud noise and quickly came out to check, only to see that the other three people were already looking in the direction of Shichengguan.

"This should be the Sky-Shattering Thunder of the Song Dynasty!" Chief Luo of the Shuixi Luo Clan said with a solemn expression.

"No! This is more powerful than the Sky-shaking Thunder. This place is a full ten miles away from Shichengguan, and it can still be heard clearly." Yang Changchun said with a hint of shock.

They were called the Southwest Barbarians by the Song people. They could be said to be semi-independent of the Song Dynasty. They had the intention of imitating Dali and forming their own country. But now the Song Dynasty has shown its most powerful weapons, which completely shocked them and made them rise again. Can't afford any dissatisfaction.

"I'm afraid the Shicheng Pass at this moment has been broken!" the Sizhou Tian clan leader sighed.

The biggest advantage of Shicheng Pass is that it is dangerous. However, under the sneak attack of the Song army, coupled with such powerful gunpowder weapons, I am afraid that Shicheng Pass will definitely fall.

The other three clan leaders nodded in agreement.

"Four clan chiefs, Shicheng Pass has been broken. Fan Taicheng has ordered us to leave immediately and stay at Shimen Pass tonight." Soon, a Song soldier came to report.

"So fast!"

The four of them couldn't help but be shocked. When Fan Zhenghao said that he would stay at Shimen Pass tonight, they didn't think so, but now it has become a reality.

When the explosion sounded, although they had guessed that Shimen Pass could not be saved, they did not expect that the Song Army could defeat it in one battle.

"Now that Shimen Pass has been broken! Dali's army is restricted to the west and north. I'm afraid there will be no more troops to resist the Eastern Route Army. Dali will be destroyed in this battle!" Yang Changchun said with a flash in his eyes.

"Song's soldiers are so powerful that Dali will surely fall, and our five thousand troops are too few!" Song Wanzhang exclaimed in hindsight.

Fan Zheng promised that all captured items from the four major ethnic groups would not need to be handed over. The Song army had gunpowder weapons and would be invincible. For each ethnic group, naturally, whoever sends more people would gain more benefits.

Yang Changchun sneered in his heart. He had already made sufficient preparations to ask the Bozhou Yang family to send out as many troops as possible to follow the Song army to attack Dali. This time, the Bozhou Yang family would take this opportunity to grow in one fell swoop and become the head of the four major families.

The heads of the Luo and Tian clans also flashed their eyes, obviously having the same intention.

The Song Army's camp was only ten miles away from Shicheng Pass, and soon Fan Zheng led the four chiefs to Shimen Pass.

When passing through the city gate of Shicheng, the four clan leaders couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. They saw that the outside of the city gate was scorched black and the city gate was torn apart.

There was silence in Shicheng Pass, and there was no sound of resistance.

"Reporting to General Fan, the general will fulfill his mission and break through Shicheng Pass." Yang Bangyi, covered in blood, hurriedly came to report.

Fan Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "What are the casualties of our army?"

"Twenty or hundreds of our soldiers died in the battle. The general guarding Shicheng Pass committed suicide. It was just that the last general was incompetent and failed to wipe out the two thousand defenders. He allowed hundreds of defenders to escape from Shicheng Pass. Dali may have obtained the East Route Army. News." Yang Bangyi apologized.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, the surprise attack can only be used once. After breaking through the city gate, there is only one military order we are waiting for, and that is to sweep the entire Dali."

"The Yang family in Bozhou will use all their strength to follow General Fan to defeat Dali!" Yang Changchun immediately expressed his stance.

The other three major families also couldn't wait to express their stance. Anyone can see that once the Song army with gunpowder comes out, Dali will never be able to recover, and everything will be wiped out.

Now that this huge whale in Dali is about to die, they naturally want to take the opportunity to get a piece of fat.

"Tomorrow the army will attack Dali. Where are your troops and horses?" Fan Zheng turned around and looked in the direction of Dali and said. In this battle, the Song Dynasty easily broke through Shicheng Pass without much loss and did not need to be repaired at all.

Moreover, the top priority of the Song army is to attack Dali as quickly as possible so that Dali has no time to defend itself. It is for this reason that Fan Zheng will give many benefits to the southwestern Yi and let them follow the army on the expedition.

Yang Wanchun said without hesitation: "Don't worry, Sir, the Yang family's troops in Bozhou are already thirty miles away and will arrive soon!"

"Thirty miles away!"

The other three clan leaders couldn't help but glance at the Yang family in Bozhou in surprise. They didn't expect Yang Changchun to be so scheming.

"The soldiers and horses we are waiting for will arrive as soon as possible! They will definitely not delay General Fan's important affairs." The three people also expressed their opinions quickly.

"I hope so! If your troops are too late, don't blame Fan for not giving you a chance." Fan Zheng said calmly.

The four chiefs couldn't help but look at each other, secretly competing in private.

On the second day, the Song army gathered at Shicheng Pass. The only difference was that there were 5,000 soldiers and horses from the Bozhou Yang family.

"Don't worry, Mr. Fan, the Yang family will not only send five thousand troops, but there will also be troops coming later." Yang Changchun bowed.

Fan Zheng nodded and looked at the 10,000 elite Imperial Guards, 20,000 Xiang soldiers, and the 5,000 Yang soldiers and horses who had just arrived under his command. In the eyes of others, this would definitely look like a rabble.

However, Fan Zheng was full of confidence. This time, he would rely on this ragtag group of people to deliver a fatal blow to the hinterland of Dali.

"send troops!"

Fan Zheng gave the order, and the army immediately set up camp and headed towards Shicheng, the important town of Dali.

Shicheng is an important city in the northwest of Dali, and it is also one of the barriers to Shanchan Mansion, the fiefdom of the Gao family in Dali. Once Shicheng is captured, it will directly threaten the core of the Gao family.

"General Fan, Shicheng County has received news of the Song Dynasty sending troops. Many fortresses have been fortified and guarded by the Chinese army!" Yang Changchun hurriedly came to report.

The Yang clan of Bozhou is a local snake in the southwest. Their tribesmen are most familiar with the terrain and climate of the southwest, so it is most suitable to use them as scouts to open the way.

At the beginning, they encountered only small villages and villages, and Bozhou Yang's troops easily defeated them.

As the army advanced, the Song army encountered more and more obstacles. This time they encountered the first large-scale walled city entering Dali. Yang Changchun was not sure of victory, so he came specifically to ask for help.

"Strong walls clear the wilderness!"

Fan Zheng smiled coldly when he heard this. The strong walls and clear fields meant that most of the people were concentrated in a few cities. This strategy was the most correct thing in previous wars.

However, in the era of gunpowder, fortified cities were no longer shelters, but prisons.

"General Yang! Bring gunpowder and help the Yang family break through the walled city!" Fan Zheng ordered.

"Yes!"

Yang Bangyi bowed and accepted the order.

"Thank you, General Fan!" Yang Changchun was immediately overjoyed. With the help of the Song Army's gunpowder, the property of those fortresses would definitely become Yang's possession.

With the help of the Song army, Yang's soldiers and horses easily broke through Dali castles one after another and plundered a large amount of property, which made the other three clan leaders envious.

What makes them even more helpless is that the Song army is marching very fast, and their troops have not arrived yet, so they can only worry.

Fan Zheng saw this and ignored it. The reason why he allowed the Yang family in Bozhou to plunder was to stimulate the other three clan leaders. Only by letting them see huge benefits could they fully assist the Song Dynasty in attacking Dali.
