A night passed quietly.

The next day.

Zhang Guangbao led his army to the east side of Delan Pass.

After arriving at Languan, he ordered the soldiers to camp on the spot, and then led the envoys to the west side of Languan Pass.

There are mountains on both sides of Languan Pass. Although it is difficult for large troops to pass through, their small group of people are still OK.

At the same time, in Suqian City, Wen Qi, He Fangsong and Jin Hao also took action.

Of course, there is a reason why they are so eager to take Suqian.

They had never thought of waiting until Su Quandang led his army to capture Xia Pi before taking over the Suqian City.

Because they are not just looking at the land of Haizhou.

What I want more is to open up the road between Shandong and East China Road and Nanjing Road.

Only Jin Hao was left in Suqian City.

Wen Qi and He Fangsong led their troops to leave Suqian and headed west towards Sizhou and Suzhou in the southwest of Suqian.

Sizhou and Suzhou are both within Nanjing Road, and are separated from Caizhou by Yingzhou and Shouzhou.

Only by connecting these four prefectures can the bases of Jiankang Military Region and Xianglong Military Region be connected.

Of course, Wenqi and He Fangsong will take several days to arrive in Suzhou.

Zhang Guangbao arrived in the army camp in Shikaiji near noon.

This military camp alone is nearly ten miles away.

When Zhang Guangbao led the entouragers, countless smoke from cooking was already rising above the military camp.

There is no real Fire Head Army among the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, because even the Fire Head Army can carry the Shenlong gun to the battlefield.

Below the military system, each regiment has a fire head army, and then to each company, it also has its own fire head army.

The Huotou Army of the regiment headquarters is only responsible for the food of the regiment generals. The one who really cooks for the soldiers is the Huotou Army of the Company.

By doing this, you can imagine how many fire-headed troops will be making fires and making meals in the continuous military camp.

When Zhang Guangbao brought a few entourages into Shi Kaiji's tent, Shi Kaiji was still having a meal.

He looked up at Zhang Guangbao walking in and said with a smile: "Previous Soldier Zhang, you are here!"

Then he hurriedly asked, "Have you eaten?"

Zhang Guangbao smiled and shook his head, "Not yet! He just asked the soldiers to camp and rushed to you."

"Give me instructions and cook for Deputy Supervisor Zhang and several offerings."

Shi Kaiji said to the personal soldiers who were waiting in the tent.

Zhang Guangbao walked to Shi Kaiji with a slightly leisurely pace, "Branded pork, braised potatoes, and pork ribs, Marshal, your food is really good!"

As he said that, he rubbed his stomach, "We're so miserable! Every meal is full of potatoes, and I'm almost hungry and lost weight."

He led his army to Shangzhou because he was a quick march and only brought dry food and potatoes.

Until now, I haven't had a few hot meals.

Although Zhang Guangbao is the deputy commander and can go to a restaurant and a personal canteen in Shangluo City, he didn't do that.

Now, in the Song army, no matter how high-level soldiers were, they would sleep and eat with the soldiers when they went to war. This is almost a customary rule.

For example, Shi Kaiji now has pork ribs, braised pork, and braised potatoes. Of course, this is a very rich food in the army. At least the soldiers of the Yuan army cannot eat it, but in his military camp, all the soldiers have such food.

The only difference is that ordinary soldiers can’t eat pork ribs because there are too few pork ribs.

This was the case before.

Only generals in the army can eat pork ribs.

This can also be regarded as encouraging the soldiers to fight bravely and make contributions.

Zhang Guangbao looked at the shiny ribs on the plate, and couldn't help but move his index finger, and reached out to pinch it and stuffed it into his mouth.

Shi Kaiji just smiled when he looked at it.

After these days of getting along, they are also good friends.

Without outsiders, there are not so many things to pay attention to.

Zhang Guangbao smashed his mouth and said, "When I came here, I observed the situation in the Xia Pass. The Yuan army arranged the city at the top of the city very tightly, and there were probably more than 200 grenade launchers alone.

And it’s not clear whether they have firearm reserves in the city.

If we attack hard, we will probably have to pay a considerable price."

Speaking of the main business, Shi Kaiji's expression became solemn.

He nodded softly and said, "I have also observed that the Yuan army in the pass should not be underestimated.

They should be elite, not comparable to those towns and county garrisons.”

Zhang Guangbao said again: "Then do you have any good strategies to break the city?"

Shi Kaiji said: "This Yuan army came after we entered Jingzhaofu Road. The food and grass in the pass must be sufficient, and it would take too long to surround them.

Forced fights have to pay a huge price. In fact, we don’t have many ways to choose, we can only win by surprise.”

"A surprise victory..." Zhang Guangbao frowned slightly and said, "But there are city walls and cliffs on both sides of this pass. Even if we want to achieve surprise victory, it will be difficult for us to enter the city. Could it be that the tunnel can be dug?"

Shi Kaiji shook his head gently, "Digging the tunnel is too time-consuming.

The Yuan army on Jingzhaofu Road is probably not going to give us that long time, but I have a better way."

Zhang Guangbao hurriedly said, "What method?"

Shi Kaiji kept a secret and said, "You might as well guess first?"

Zhang Guangbao frowned and thought for a while, saying, "Since it was a surprise victory, it was definitely impossible to attack from the city wall.

The mountains on both sides are more suitable for soldiers to hide, but... there are cliffs on both sides. It is difficult for our soldiers to enter the mountains. Even if they enter, it is difficult for them to jump off the cliff and get into the city..." He really couldn't figure out what solution Shi Kaiji had thought of.

Because the terrain of Blue Place does look flawless.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Guangbao's eyes emitted a little light and said, "Are you planning to use a hot air balloon?"

"No."

Shi Kaiji shook his head and said, "There must be sky-rushing cannons in the pass, and hot air balloons are used to let our soldiers die."

Zhang Guangbao laughed and said, "Then I can't think of any other way.

Don’t keep it aside, just say it!”

Shi Kaiji smiled and said, "Boat chariot."

"Um?"

Zhang Guangbao was slightly stunned, and then said in confusion: "Where did we get the cannon chariot?

And even if there is a gunboat, I can't get it up! I just came from the mountain, and the forest was so deep that I couldn't even put down the gunboat, let alone the gunboat.

Unless you ask the soldiers to clear out a large area, it is almost the same, but the Yuan army in the city will definitely not allow us to set up artillery formations on the mountain."

Shi Kaiji looked at Zhang Guangbao with a smile and said, "We don't have a cannon cart, but there are ready-made ones on the mountain..." Zhang Guangbao was slightly stunned again, then suddenly reacted and exclaimed, "You mean to use the trees on the mountain!"

“That’s right.”

Shi Kaiji nodded complacently and said, "Those trees are natural gunboats! Connecting them with ropes is enough for the Yuan army in the city to eat a pot."

Zhang Guangbao was also excited when he heard this, "And there is no need to dispatch many soldiers, a clever plan! A clever plan!"

Shi Kaiji said humbly: "It's not a clever plan. When I followed my wife and the Yuan army to fight against the war, I lacked any kind of military equipment. I just used to it in this way."

Then the two began to discuss the specific steps.

It was not until the afternoon that Zhang Guangbao left the military camp in Shikaiji with his envoys and headed towards the military camp on the east side of Languan.

All afternoon, there was no movement in the two military camps.

The Yuan army in the pass is ready for battle, and only when the troops are disparity, of course it is impossible to take the initiative to break out of the pass.

All they can do is to do their best to improve the defense on the city.

After the smoke passed again, the night fell quietly.

The heaven and earth are shrouded in darkness.

Only at this time, continuous torches lit up in the villages on both sides of Languan.

Then, a large army came out of the camp to approach the Languan City Wall.

The Yuan army in the pass was ready for battle.

The sound of the horn sounded across the city.

A Yuan army ran back and forth on the top of the city, shouting: "The Song army has left the camp! The Song army has left the camp!"

What they didn't know was that while the two large camps left the camp, there was a special regiment each drilling into the mountains on both sides of the north and south.

They acted in the dark like that.

This is nothing to the special forces soldiers.

The enshrines from various army were dispatched at the same time as them.

In addition to carrying the Dragon Gun, they also carried ropes and many thunderstorms on their bodies.
