And Duan Siping himself, together with General Feng Di, Du Zhu Ya Gaofang, and Dao Hongying of Zhaokua, will lead 5,000 of the most elite soldiers of Tonghai and 3,000 of the strongest warriors of the Zhaokua tribe to prepare to forcibly cross the danger near the lower pass of the Yuan River, meet with Peng A, the guard general of the Great Yi Ning State, and quickly advance to the city of Yangba, completely overthrowing Yang Ganzhen's regime of the Great Yi Ning State.

As for Duan Siying, he was in charge of Tonghai, responsible for transporting grain and grass materials, war horses and weapons, and probing information for all parties, transmitting news, and liaising with the Han Yunnan side and other tribes.

Sending Duan Siying away, Li Yi counted on his fingers, and there were only three days left before the general attack time. Li Yi hurriedly summoned Jian Zheng, He Shoujie, Yin Quan, Wei Jing, Yue Wei, Li Hui, Xiao Hui, and Qiu Feng to a meeting, informed them of the news, and told them to be fully prepared and not to leak the news.

In addition, Li Yi arranged for Huo Feng to rush back to Ningzhou in person, and notified Lin Yi, Zheng Wenzhong, and Qian Shitang of the above news, and the others temporarily closed the news.

The time for the general attack has finally been set. But what puzzled Li Yi was that although it had now entered autumn, the Yuanjiang River showed no signs of breaking its flow, and if it continued to develop like this, it would have to wait another month or two. However, Tonghai rashly launched a general offensive, which way will Yuanjiang Tianwei take to force it to cross?

According to Qiu Feng's analysis, the current Yuanjiang River is still turbulent, and this is the case in most of the various river sections, and there are no conditions for ships to cross the river. Therefore, it is simply impossible for the sea side to cross the river by boat, or wait for the Yuan River to be cut off.

Therefore, at present, there is only one way to build a rope bridge. There are also many favorable conditions for erecting rope bridges, as long as the lower guards on the other side of the river give full support to Peng A, it only takes a few days to erect a simple rope bridge. But this is not only laborious and laborious, but also the traffic capacity is very limited, and the army of 8,000 is counting on this rope bridge, I am afraid that it will not be able to pass it for a whole day.

After thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out, so Li Yi had no choice but to put this matter down, after all, Yunnan still had its own tasks. You can't wait until Shanxian Mansion is broken by Tonghai, but you are still making no progress under Songyang Pass, in that case, this person will be a big loss.

After a lot of preparations, the day of September 27 finally arrived. At the end of the day, Li Yi ordered the whole army to bury the pot and make the final preparations before the expedition.

But at the same time, Li Yi also received the latest news from the scouts who contacted Tonghai, and the 70,000 troops of Tonghai and other 37 tribes launched a comprehensive attack on the defensive line mountain stretching for dozens of miles in Fuxian Lake, and soon broke through the first line of defense, and is now concentrating forces to prepare to attack the second line of defense - the Jinning defense line.

If the Jinning defense line is captured once it is captured, the remaining third line of defense, the Xishan camp, will be insignificant, and Shanxifu will have no danger to defend, so it can only sit and wait for the sea to attack the city.

Receiving the news of the start of the general offensive, Li Yi immediately ordered the whole army to step up preparations. When Yin Shi just arrived, and the sky was still dark, thousands of men and horses had already finished their meals, and Wei Jing, the deputy head of the horse infantry army who captured Songyang Pass, set off first with 3,000 main siege troops and a large number of siege equipment.

Immediately after the departure was a thousand elite cavalry led by Jian Zheng, the commander of the Mabu Army, followed by a thousand engineering battalion soldiers and a logistics battalion led by Li Hui.

When Li Yi led his troops to prepare for the final exit, there was a thick smoke rising from the depths of Songyang Mountain on the south side of Pingyang Pass, and it looked like the distance from here was about five or six miles, but he didn't know the specific location.

Seeing this situation, of course Li Yi couldn't let it go, in case something unexpected happened, the army did not move, but was conspired by the enemy, it would not be a joke.

Li Yi ordered the army to continue to advance, and he took more than 300 personal soldiers with his entourage, and galloped towards Songyang Mountain in that direction.

In order to let the mountain people in the depths of the mountains get out of the deep mountains, I specially arranged to build a road here, which extends to the south near the sea. The mountain people here no longer have to rush to Ningzhou over the mountains.

After walking along this road for a short time, the soldier in charge of the lookout in front came to report that it was in the place on the south side of Fengming Lake, that a considerable flame came out, and the fire tended to become more and more fierce.

Hearing the news, Li Yi was taken aback. You must know that the place south of Fengming Lake should be Fengming Village. Ran Yanchao and Feng Xinyan lived there, could it be that there was a fire there, or was there any other situation, now this is an extraordinary time.

Li Yi didn't dare to think about it anymore, and immediately ordered the team to move forward quickly.

In less than a quarter of an hour, more than 300 people had approached Fengming Village. The sky was still relatively dark, but Fengming Village had turned into a sea of fire, and the entire village had been surrounded by thick smoke. Li Yi was anxious, and took the lead through the stone bridge over the Niulan River, and soon came to the door of the stockade.

At this time, the huge Fengming Village was almost completely surrounded by fireworks, and the only remaining gate of the village also began to ignite a fire. Although Li Yi ordered his soldiers to come forward to put out the fire, but the fire was so fierce that there were no fire extinguishing tools at hand, everyone was eager to try but did not dare to step forward, and could only watch the houses in the village continue to fall down in the fierce fire.

At this moment, a fire man staggered out of the fire at the Zhaimen, tall and stout, but his hair and clothes were almost burned to ashes, and his face was not clear for a while by the faint light of the sky.

Li Yi hurriedly led people to rush forward and extinguished the remaining flames on his body with a tree branch. The man was roaring and hoarse, and his mind was so unclear that he could barely hear what he was saying. When Li Yi approached him to take a closer look, he was surprised to find that this person turned out to be Ran Yanchao, the owner of Fengming Village.

Seeing Ran Yanchao's scarred and crazy appearance, Li Yi couldn't help but feel sad, and tears almost fell out. This man who stands up to the sky and dares to act dares to be tortured to be like this, how can it not be heartbreaking!

Li Yi asked him to help him to lie down on a bluestone slab, briefly cleaned up several serious wounds for him, applied gold sore medicine and cool scald ointment, and brought him water to drink. After working like this for a while, he gradually stopped struggling, and his sanity seemed to gradually recover.

When his cloudy gaze finally saw Li Yi's face clearly, his eyes suddenly glowed with bright brilliance. He struggled to get up, but again and again to no avail. Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
