After sighing in his heart for a moment, Cai Shaoqiang cheered up and said in a deep voice, "Hurry up and send someone to Dali for help!"
"Send all the secret spies to find out what kind of weapon Qin Yi developed and imitate it as soon as possible. If you can imitate it, you will definitely turn defeat into victory!"
"Also, after destroying the Jingdao and Mingliu Dao, leaving only Tianbi Road and heavily guarding it, I want to see how Qin Yi comes to Lijing!"
After hearing what Cai Shao said, the panic in the hearts of many officials immediately dissipated, and they couldn't help but secretly sigh at the king's good plan.
Lijing is surrounded by high mountains, which are steep and difficult to navigate. There is only one cliff with a plank road that can accommodate three people walking side by side. It is called the Tianbi Road.
Later, Luan State spent several years and a lot of manpower and material resources to open up two flat roads, Jing Road and Mingliu Road. From then on, Lijing and other cities could travel unimpeded.
If these two roads are destroyed, then only the Tianbi Road will remain. This road is extremely dangerous and difficult to pass. If heavy troops are sent to guard it, there will be one man guarding the pass, and no one can open it!
Even though Qin Yi's men are extremely brave, they can't make any progress. What a brilliant plan!
Many officials immediately accepted the order and made arrangements one after another.
As long as Li Jing is defended, many cities in the rear will not fall. Maybe they can counterattack in one fell swoop and change the decline of the previous country!
……
In the royal study, looking at the battle reports and drawings on the desk, the empress's beautiful face was filled with joy!
The corners of her rosy lips kept rising, and she couldn't stop smiling.
"Qin Zhenshuai... is truly a hero!" Looking at the battle report, Wen Xiang was a little dazed and said in a daze.
In just ten days, Qin Yi received such a brilliant battle report, which he had never heard of before, as if he was in a dream.
Even though Ding Junhou and his predecessor Ying Guogong had the record of destroying Feng Yu and the two countries, compared with Qin Yi, they were slightly inferior.
The two countries of Fengyu and Fengyu combined are not as big as the previous country. In addition, it took nearly a year to conquer the two countries of Fengyu and consumed a lot of troops and food.
However, in just ten days, Qin Yi captured half of the country without much loss on his own side. Such speed and such a miracle will surely be recorded in the annals of history!
While the Minister of Literature was amazed, he also envied the Minister of Military Affairs more and more.
This guy has such a sharp student, look at his smug face, it’s really hateful!
The face of Wu Xiang was calm, but there was a rare sense of surprise in his heart.
He knew that Qin Yi was very resourceful and it would not be too difficult to capture two or three cities. But in the future, if the enemy soldiers became vigilant, they would have to expend a lot of troops to attack by force.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yi actually created such a sharp siege equipment, which has endless magical uses and is amazing!
"Your Majesty, Qin Yi is really a rare talent. I never expected that he would have extraordinary talent in mechanics and create a catapult, which greatly improved the military strength of our court!" Marquis Dingjun said in admiration. When the empress heard this, her red lips rose even more, then she pursed her lips, suppressed her smile and said, "Qin Aiqing has done a good job, I am very satisfied. When his master returns to the court, he will be rewarded heavily!"
Capture fifteen cities and expand the territory for Linzhan, so you should be promoted to a higher position!
In addition to the gratifying achievements, what made the empress even more happy was that Qin Yi had nothing to hide from her. He passed the blueprints of such important siege equipment back, which shows that he is loyal to him.
Thinking of this, the empress felt even more happy.
Seeing everyone's faces full of joy, Xiang Wen suddenly thought of something and said loudly, "Your Majesty, this equipment is very huge and difficult to hide. Maybe it will be copied by the enemy after a while."
For example, chariot racing was the first creation of the Dali Dynasty, but within a few decades, it was imitated by many dynasties.
The Prime Minister Wu nodded, "Indeed, that's why Qin Yicai quickly marched and captured several cities one after another, just to seize as many cities as possible before the enemy imitated it."
But next, it’s hard to say whether we can continue to attack the city.
Because the king of the previous country will definitely send people to destroy the road, and then send troops to guard the Tianbi Road.
As a result, it would be difficult for Qin Yi to march into Lijing. Even if there were catapults, it would be of no avail.
But after frowning for a moment, Wu Xiang relaxed.
He knows that Qin Yi is good at creating miracles, and he may be able to defeat the enemy next!
……
Several gravels were kicked and fell from the cliff. After a long time, the sound of falling to the ground was heard. It can be seen that the cliff here is extremely high and steep.
Halfway up the cliff, there is a narrow plank road dug by man. At this time, many soldiers from the previous country were walking forward carefully along the plank road one after another.
This is the Tianbi Road, the most dangerous road in the country, steep and narrow.
At the highest point of the Tianbi Road, there is a pass called Tianbi Pass. If one man is in charge of the pass, ten thousand people cannot open it. It is easy to defend but extremely difficult to attack.
Following the team, a soldier from the Luan Kingdom walked carefully on the Tianbi Road. He couldn't help but be curious, and when he looked out, he was frightened by the height of the cliff. He felt dizzy and felt weak at his feet.
A person behind him quickly supported him and shouted, "Be careful!"
Someone in front heard the sound, turned around and said loudly, "Don't look at it, you will panic if you look at it. Some people have looked at it a few times before, their feet became weak, they fell off the cliff and were smashed into a pulp!"
Hearing this, the soldiers around him became more cautious and took every step with extra care.
Not long after, these soldiers followed the general and arrived at Tianbi Pass.
They are the heavy troops sent by the king of the previous country to help defend Tianbi Pass, about ten thousand people.
Normally, there are only a thousand guards at Tianbi Pass, but now there are more than 10,000, relying on the cliff to defend. Even if Qin Yi led hundreds of thousands of people to come, it would be difficult to advance.
As for the siege equipment created by the opponent, they cannot be brought here. As long as they hold this pass, Li Jing will be safe and sound!
……
"Commander, the Tianbi Road is ahead." A general looked ahead and said in a deep voice.
When Qin Yi heard this, he raised his head and saw towering peaks not far away. These peaks were extremely steep and reached straight into the sky. A long plank road could be faintly seen between the mountain walls.
"Tianbi Road..." Qin Yi muttered in a low voice, frowning slightly.
This precipitous plank road is extremely crowded and can accommodate at most two or three people walking side by side. If the enemy troops stand high and defend, they will not be able to pass safely.
Maybe even after paying a huge price, it will be difficult to make any progress!
"The people in your country are very hateful. They destroyed the other two roads and left only this road. They just want me to wait and come to attack this place." Another general cursed angrily.
"But if we attack here, I'm afraid there will be countless casualties, but it won't help!"
"There is nothing we can do about it. If we don't take this path, we will have nowhere to go."
"Commander, I am willing to lead five thousand men and horses as the vanguard to win this way for the commander!"
Qin Yi shook his head. This place is not suitable for a strong attack. If his subordinates are allowed to lead troops to attack, the entire army may be annihilated.
There is no need to sacrifice in vain, you have to find another way!
