Zhanjing, the lobby of the Ministry of War.

Many officials from the Ministry of War gathered together and watched several young generals perform the sand table. Zhu Yuankui, the general of the Forbidden Army, was also there.

After deducing for a while, a young general scratched his head and smiled bitterly, "I think we should stop deducing. We have deduced over and over again, but I can't figure out what Qin Zhenshuai will do in the next step."

"Indeed, last time, I deduced that Commander Qin would need dozens of days to coordinate with the left and right troops to capture Ying'an City. But I didn't expect that he would plant our flag in Ying'an within two days.

On top of Ancheng, it’s beyond our expectations!”

"When he captured Ying'an, he also used a clever plan to seize Qucheng. He captured two cities in one day, which was very sharp!"

"So Marshal Qin's resourcefulness is beyond our ability to guess, so we might as well not waste our brains and just wait for the good news to come!"

"Then guess which city will Commander Qin attack next?"

"Behind Qucheng, there are two important cities. One is Xiongtun Pass, which is located between two mountains. It is surrounded by high mountains and crisscrossed mountains. It is naturally dangerous. It is a pass in the country, easy to defend and difficult to attack; the north side

This is Wencheng, one of the four major granaries of the Luan Kingdom. There is a lot of grain and grass in the city, and it is the lifeblood of the Luan Kingdom."

Many generals said one after another, "It goes without saying that we must send troops to capture Wen City. It is easy to capture and has a lot of food and grass. If we capture it, we will not only supplement ourselves, but also greatly weaken the neighboring country, killing two birds with one stone!"

"Indeed, I guess Qin Zhenshuai will definitely capture Wen City!"

"I also think it's Wencheng."

Listening to everyone's exchanges, Prime Minister Wu stood aside with his hands behind his hands, glancing slightly at the sand table.

First he glanced at the mark of Wencheng, then looked away and looked at the model of Xiongtun Pass, silently.

…

"boom!"

Cai Shao, the king of the previous country, was so angry that he kicked the incense burner away and shouted loudly, "They are all useless!"

"Didn't I say that Ying'an City has thick walls and a wide moat, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack? In one day, the enemy conquered two cities. Where will you put my face?"

"We lost two important cities in one day. The enemy is not far away from Li Jing. How do you expect me to deal with this? Are you going to flee in a hurry?"

In the palace, many military attachés looked shocked, their heads lowered, and they did not dare to speak.

They had no idea that Qin Yi was so sharp and his troops were so sharp that they were unable to stop him. It was really shocking!

After hesitating for a moment, the Secretary of the Ministry of War plucked up the courage and said, "Your Majesty, don't panic. Behind Qucheng, there are two cities. One is Xiongtun Pass, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The other is Wencheng, which is safe.

Guard, as long as we stick to Wen City, we can stop Qin Yi from the city..."

"You said the same thing when Qin Yi attacked Ying'an!" Cai Shao said angrily.

The Minister of War suddenly sighed and did not dare to say anything more.

"Fuck it!" Cai Shao shouted angrily, "The pass is a natural chasm. Qin Yi doesn't dare to attack it, so then use all your strength to defend Wen City. If Qin Yi is allowed to capture this city again, I will blame you!"

Many military attachés quickly surrendered and retreated in panic, making arrangements with all their strength and mobilizing troops and horses to defend Wen City.

…

"唳~唳!"

"Chi~chi!"

In the mountains, birds chirp and apes chirp, the sound is endless.

Between two adjacent mountains, there is a majestic pass. The wall is ten meters high and about three meters thick. Like a giant, it blocks the way between the two mountains. It can be said that it is a barrier.

On the door, three powerful words were engraved, "Swallow the Pass!"

At Xiongton Pass, many guards went back and forth to set up defenses. They piled some lost arrows under the female wall and reinforced the city to guard against Qin Yi's invasion.

Of course, be careful, and many soldiers did not think that Qin Yi would come to attack Xiongtun Pass.

Leave Wencheng's fragrant steamed buns aside and start chewing hard bones. No one would be so stupid.

Therefore, Feng Yang, the general guarding Xiongtun Pass, has obeyed the order and went with some troops to help defend Wen City.

Now the focus of the Luan Kingdom is on the defense of Wen City, and nothing can be done to prevent this important granary city from falling into the hands of Qin Yi.

Therefore, there are only more than ten thousand guards in the pass. Although there are few people, the pass is dangerous and dangerous. If we attack it from a high position, even if a large army invades, we can still defend it according to the danger without fear of loss.

Now, the sky was slightly bright, and many guards, led by the deputy general, took over in an orderly manner and began to change defenses.

At this moment, three scouts came galloping from a distance, looking anxious and waving the flag in their hands.

The guards at Xiongtun Pass quickly looked intently, and when they saw the scout cavalry's flags, they were immediately surprised. Each of them turned around, rushed towards the war drum, and beat the drum loudly.

In an instant, the sound of war drums spread throughout the pass!

Many guards took up their weapons and rushed up to the pass, looking into the distance with vigilance and surprise.

Not long after, the deputy general led many soldiers up to Guancheng and asked urgently, "What's going on?"

A member of the Qianhu family replied urgently, "General, the reconnaissance cavalry reported that enemy soldiers were detected ten miles away, numbering approximately 50,000!"

When the deputy general heard this, he immediately understood that Qin Yi was here!

Good guy, this guy is really out of his mind. He left Wencheng alone and came here to Xiongtun Pass.

Since he wants to chew hard bones, let's see how many teeth are left in his mouth at the end!

"Go down with the order, brace yourself, guard the city tightly, and prepare rolling logs made of hot oil so that the enemy can have a good look at how powerful we are at conquering the city!" the deputy general shouted loudly.

Many guards quickly heard the order, took out their bows, and stood behind the parapet, ready to defend the city.

At this time, slight vibrations began to be heard in the distance, and soon after, smoke and dust rose on the horizon, and fluttering flags caught the eyes of many Xiongtun Pass guards.

They were slightly nervous. Qin Yi's troops, who had conquered two cities in one day, finally arrived.

Although they were nervous, they were also a little excited. If they relied on the dangerous pass and repelled the opponent's attack, wouldn't it be a great reputation?

Of course, they were also extremely curious as to why Qin Yi came here instead of attacking Wen City.

In the distance, facing the battle formation, Qin Yi rode a Feili horse and led his men to move forward quickly.

Not long after, he could already see the Xiongton Pass between the mountains, which controlled the two mountains. It was really dangerous.

When coming here, the generals under his command also raised doubts as to why Wen City was left unattacked but chose to conquer the pass.

The answer is simple. Qin Yi has to capture these two cities. For him, it's just a matter of who goes first and who comes last.

There are not many guards at Xiongtun Pass, which is its shortcoming, and the high and dangerous city is its advantage.

But this advantage has no effect on Qin Yi.

Because, he has purchased a manufacturing blueprint for siege equipment from the system mall.

After several days of hard work, his army had a siege weapon that was not available in this era, the catapult!
