On a higher ground in front of the woods, nearly a hundred Pitz soldiers were busy setting up a huge camp.
Not far from the front of the camp, there stood the dark red handsome flag.
This is the main tent of the Chinese army of the Piz people, which is also the main tent of Hengsar.
While the soldiers were busy setting up the main camp tent at the back, Heng Sar and Bang Luo stood in an open place, clasping their hands behind their waists and staring coldly at the towering and steep Qingyuan Pass in the distance.
Today, Heng Sar's image has changed drastically. He is now wearing armor, and his mental outlook and aura are completely different from when he was in Shengguo. Heng Sar at this time, after getting closer,
You can vaguely feel a murderous aura.
And Bang Luo, who was following him, had become a general with a tall figure and outstanding temperament.
Heng Saer looked at it quietly for a while, then suddenly said: "No wonder General Soturo and the others returned in vain. The Qingyuan Pass is indeed an excellent natural barrier that is easy to defend but difficult to attack."
Bangluo nodded and said: "General, I heard that the Qingyuan Pass is about twenty feet high, and the surrounding rock walls are steep and smooth, making it impossible for ordinary people to climb. Moreover, before General Soturo attacked, the passage below the pass had been covered with boulders and mud.
The landfill is blocked. If you want to break through the pass, you must attack the fortifications above."
Heng Saer said calmly: "Yes, the Qingyuan Pass today is like a dangerous city with a height of twenty feet. What we have to do is to find a way to break it, cross it, and conquer it!"
Bang Luo nodded, and then asked: "But general, Qingyuan Pass is so high, ordinary siege vehicles and siege equipment are useless at all..."
Hengsal glanced at Bangluo and said: "It is precisely because of this that General Soturo chose to build a mountain of earth first to shorten the distance between the ground and the defensive city above."
Bangluo said: "What does the general mean, that we should also follow General Soturo's method and build mountains of earth first, and then launch an offensive?"
"Is there any problem?" Heng Saer asked.
Bangluo hesitated for a moment before saying: "But General, General Soturo and the others failed after all. Should we..."
At this point, Bangluo stopped.
Heng Saer understood Bangluo's meaning and said: "Sotuluo and the others failed to attack Qingyuan Pass. The reason was not that their tactics were wrong, but that their soldiers were not strong enough and brave enough, and the time given by His Majesty was not sufficient, so they failed.
It’s also reasonable.”
Bangluo said: "General, according to your wishes, how should we fight?"
"No rush!" Heng Saer said confidently: "Give me the order. After setting up camp, everyone should rest and recover as soon as possible."
"Yes, General." Bangluo covered his heart and bowed, then turned around and sent the order.

Qingyuan Pass, above Fangcheng.
When Jimo Qiao saw that the Pitz people were still shouting in formation, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Are these guys finished? If you want to fight, just fight. Why are you yelling all the time? Aren't you tired?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the Pitz people became quiet and seemed to start to retreat.
When Jimo Qiao saw this, he sneered and said: "Heh, you guys should be tired now. The people watching here are all tired."
After saying these two sentences, Jimo Qiao suddenly found that no one behind her responded to her words. She hurriedly turned around to look, only to find that Chai Yan and General Fan had walked away far away, and she was the only one left standing.
In front of the crenel.
Jimo Qiao wanted to catch up with Chai Yan and the others, but as soon as he turned around, he found a soldier next to him peeking at him, with a faint smile on his lips.
Jimo Qiao suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so he immediately glared and scolded: "What are you looking at? Stand your guard! Otherwise I will poke your eyes out!"
The soldier didn't dare to reply. He was so frightened that he quickly looked away and looked outside the crenel without squinting. His waist straightened a lot.
"Huh!" Jimo Qiao snorted unhappily and ran away in large strides.
After Jimo Qiao walked away, the soldier secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this woman was too scary.
After Jimo Qiao caught up with Chai Yan and the others, he happened to hear Chai Yan say: "General Fan, I think we should set up more water tanks here, and then send a group of people to replenish the holy water so that the defending soldiers can use it at any time.
, otherwise it would be terrible if there is a gap."
Fan Xingwang said: "Fan doesn't have any opinions in this regard and will obey the Taoist Master's arrangements."
Just as Chai Yan was about to speak, he heard Jimo Qiao's voice appearing behind him: "Brother, why didn't you call me when you left? You left me just there talking to myself..."
Chai Yan turned around and said, "I'm talking to General Fan about business, please don't interrupt me yet."
Jimo Qiao turned his head and curled his lips and stopped talking.
Chai Yan looked at Fan Xingwang, pointed to the other side of the pass and said: "General Fan, we have to hurry up and build this slope road up the mountain. It is best to complete it before the Pitz people attack. In this case, the strength of the troops will be reduced."
The transportation of various supplies will be much more convenient and smooth.”
"The Taoist Master and Fan have come up with the idea. I will soon be ready to issue an order to ask them to add more manpower to repair this road quickly." Fan Xing said.
Next, Chai Yan and Fan Xingwang discussed many detailed issues.
They continued chatting until a soldier came to look for Fan Xingwang, and then Fan Xingwang ended the conversation with Chai Yan and left.
Chai Yan glanced in the direction of the Pitz military camp and said, "Let's go down too. I have to help with the telescope."
Now that the Pitz people have arrived at the city, Chai Yan wants to make a telescope as soon as possible so that he can observe the situation in the opponent's camp from the vantage point.
"Is this... leaving now?" Jimo Qiao asked in surprise.
Chai Yan asked, "Why don't you leave? The enemies have already gone back to set up camp."
Jimo Qiao squinted his eyes and looked hard at the enemy camp. After a while, he shook his head and said: "It's too far away, I can't see clearly!"
Chai Yan said with a smile: "Do you still need to look at this? From just now to now, they have not set up a formation or bothered. It is obvious that they are going to camp and rest. Why are we still here?"
"Hey, I thought they were preparing to fight with such a large formation." Jimo Qiao was a little disappointed.
"Don't think about it, we definitely won't be able to fight today." Chai Yan said and left.
--------------------------
The next day.
It took an all-nighter, and with the concerted efforts of Chai Yan and many craftsmen in the camp, the monocular telescope was finally completed.
At this time, it was just dawn, and Chai Yan couldn't wait to walk to the Fangcheng. He wanted to test the effect of the monocular telescope immediately, and if there were any shortcomings, he could immediately improve it.
On the way up, Chai Yan met Pang Zhenbei who was walking down.
The last general on duty last night was Pang Zhenbei. At this time, he had just changed shifts with others and was about to return to the barracks to rest.
"Taoist Priest, why are you here so early?" Pang Zhenbei asked curiously.
Chai Yan kept walking and said: "The monocular telescope is ready. I'll go up and try the effect."
"That's right!"
Pang Zhenbei had always been looking forward to the completion of the telescope. He immediately became interested when he heard this. He was a little sleepy at first, but he suddenly became energetic: "Wait a minute, Taoist priest, I want to try it too."
With that said, Pang Zhenbei turned back and kept up with Chai Yan.
After the two of them arrived at Fangcheng, they immediately found a crenel. Chai Yan immediately stretched out the bamboo monocular telescope in his hand and looked at the Pitz camp in the distance.
"Hmm... Not bad, not bad..."
Chai Yan slowly retracted the barrel of the telescope and spoke happily. Anyone could see that he was very satisfied with the effect of the monocular telescope.
Pang Zhenbei waited for a while, then started to feel itchy, so he asked: "Taoist Priest, can you lend it to me?"
"sure."
Chai Yan immediately handed the monocular to Pang Zhenbei.
After Pang Zhenbei took it, he followed Chai Yan's example and closed one eye, then placed the narrower end of the telescope in front of his eyes and looked in the direction of the enemy camp.
"I'm so fucked!"
Pang Zhenbei was startled, hurriedly moved the telescope in front of him, and looked at Chai Yan in surprise.
Chai Yan said with a smile: "How about it, can you see it clearly?"
After the surprise, a smile appeared on Pang Zhenbei's face, and he nodded repeatedly: "Clear, clear, so clear!"
