The army moved quickly under Sha Xingping's orders, and Sha Xingping first let the 200,000 troops converge with the Qin army stationed here, plus the scattered army that was mobilized to a total of nearly 400,000 troops.

An army of 400,000 is used to attack a pass, which seems to be quite a lot, but in fact, it is really necessary to spread it out, and it is really not enough to see.

After all, the terrain of this pass is very strange, and if you want to really achieve some achievements, the number of deaths will not be less.

Therefore, this time Qin Ning delegated the power of leading the troops, not only because he wanted to train talents, but also because there was no other good way to attack Yifu Pass, so he could only use crowd tactics.

Qin Ning hugged Qin Huang and looked at it in the military tent, there was a huge wall on the towering Luopeng Mountain Range, and that was the city wall of Yifuguan.

For Yifu Guan, Qin Ning has already investigated, and the scenes of the year are even more terrifying, I don't know how much flesh and blood made Yifu Guan have such a domineering name.

Under the Yifu Pass, facing the direction of Nannapu Gate City, there is a steep cliff, and the road above it is very spacious among the mountain roads, which can allow more than a dozen people to walk at the same time. After all, most of the people in this cultivation realm are good, they can fly, and the restrictions on the path are much smaller.

There are many defenses around the cliffs, and small defensive bunkers defend Yifu Pass like stars holding the moon, but anyone who wants to rush to Yifu Pass can only cut off these defensive bunkers in front of him first.

In front of Yifu Pass, the towering wall was a hundred zhang high, and the thick city wall extended to the north for fifty zhang. It's not something that ordinary attacks can break at all. Unless Qin Ning was willing to use that super defensive cannon, he might be able to directly break through a portal without opening the defense.

But after all, this husband Guan is a storage zài that has been in business for countless years. The formations and defenses on it were even more numerous, much stronger than the River of Despair in the Soul Fortune City.

"Father. If this husband pass is attacked hard, I am afraid that many people will die. Qin Huang raised his head and looked at Qin Ning with a pair of eyes that were a little unbearable.

Qin Ning nodded silently, he also knew that this would be the result, but he had no choice.

"Huang'er, is there anything you can do about it?" Qin Ning paused, but still asked.

Qin Huang shook his head and pondered for a long time before saying, "Unless, we can break through from within the enemy." The inside should be the same, but it will take a long time to lay out. Especially now that the relationship between the Qin army and the Northern Prince is very tense, it may be even more difficult to get involved. ”

Qin Ning sighed slightly, patted Qin Huang's shoulder, and said, "Huang'er, you are very smart, but this world is like this, sometimes for long-term peace, some people must be sacrificed. It's inevitable. And what a good leader needs to do is how to minimize these losses! ”

"Father, Huang'er understands. Qin Huang nodded thoughtfully, his eyes shining brightly.

Qin Ning's divine sense walked out. After investigating the current situation of the Qin army, the army's reserves are okay and the momentum is also very good. If you don't care about sacrifices, there is not much suspense in this battle.

Suddenly. The sound of hurried footsteps came.

"Report the ......" The herald rushed quickly, and he had just come in on the front foot. Sha Xingping rushed in on his hind feet.

Sha Xingping is now the general who leads the army, and if there is any first news, he naturally needs to know as much as possible.

Qin Ning glanced at Sha Xingping, who was a little nervous, nodded, and said, "If there is any news, let's talk about it." ”

The herald took a breath and said in a deep voice: "General Qiyu, I just got the news that the Northern Prince has mobilized troops in all aspects of Yifu Pass, and now the strength of the Yifu Pass garrison has reached 500,000! It is said that the Northern Prince has asked the East Prince for help, and the East Prince may make some moves, but it is not yet clear. ”

500,000?

It seems that the northern prince attaches great importance to Yifu Pass, Cheng Dù is not bad, at least in the case of knowing the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, he also knows how to mobilize more troops.

Unfortunately, in this world, not just because you have more troops is enough, and the leadership and command ability of a general can completely affect the outcome of the battle.

Qin Ning didn't speak, and nodded at the herald to signal that he could go down.

"General Sha, just look at it. Qin Ning said lightly, and then began to serve tea and drink water, with a posture that I don't care about anything today.

Sha Xingping smiled bitterly, turned around and left. He knew that Qin Ning was deliberately training himself, as long as he could take down this husband completely, then his future command would be greatly improved. After all, Yifu Pass can be said to be an extremely difficult place to attack, if you are not even afraid of Yifu Pass, then what is there to be afraid of?

"Come on, contact General Wu Chongtong of the Southern Emperor Group Army, and ask him to pay close attention to the movements of the Eastern Prince, as long as the Eastern Emperor has a move, General Wu needs to send troops. He doesn't need to attack anyone, he just needs to accumulate troops under the city of the Eastern Prince!" Sha Xingping shouted loudly, and directly asked the liaison department to contact Wu Chongtong.

Qin Ning did not have the slightest opinion on Sha Xingping's approach, this was a decent approach, as long as the Eastern Prince was contained, then Wu Chongtong's task would be completed.

It's just that Qin Ning is still a little worried, he doesn't know if Sha Xingping can use these 400,000 elite soldiers to defeat the strong defense of Yifu Pass.

400,000 against 500,000, this can be regarded as a big battle since the establishment of the Qin army.

"Prepare to attack! The heavy artillery team is lined up in a phalanx! The ammunition is well prepared, and after a stick of incense, a focused attack will be carried out, and the hundred-foot wall must be smashed within half an hour!" Once he entered the state, Sha Xingping's head turned quickly, since the other party planned to defend the city, then he would knock on the mountain and shock the tiger first!

Sha Xingping actually knew very well that for Qin Jun, talent was the most important, and it didn't matter if he consumed more money, but if he had to die more, the problem would be a bit strict.

One after another orders came out of Sha Xingping's mouth, most of them were steady conventional tactics, Qin Ning also understood what this guy meant, he needed to adapt to the rhythm of the battle first, and then look at the timing to make some changes, maybe it would have a good effect.

After a stick of incense, the heavy artillery team began to spit out shells frantically, and one by one the improved siege shells bombarded the city walls, leaving traces on them.

"The heavy artillery team pauses the attack, and the five heavy artillery pieces are in a group, attack in turn, and blow the city wall open from the middle!" Sha Xingping waved his hand and stopped the roar of the entire heavy artillery team.

Immediately afterwards, five heavy artillery shells were bombarded, and each of the five shells fell on the same position, expanding the wound in that place.

At this time, Yifu Pass has been completely active, and the defensive formation has been activated layer by layer, wanting to minimize the damage of the cannonball, but unfortunately the defensive formation still has some effect in the face of range attacks, once it is aimed at Sha Xingping's attack that breaks the surface with points, there is no way.

"Okay, this Sha Xingping knows how to save ammo! Haha, see what other means you have. Qin Ning grinned, very satisfied in his heart.

Qin Huang suddenly raised his head, looked at Qin Ning, and asked, "Father, I don't think Uncle Sha is doing well. ”

"What's wrong? Qin Ning's eyes lit up, wouldn't this Qin Huang also be a commanding genius?

If it really is, then Qin Ning is afraid that he will die happily!

Qin Huang nodded, and said confidently: "Uncle Sha's focused attack is nothing more than to hit the enemy's confidence, and at the same time make them have a certain amount of confusion, so as to expose some weaknesses, and then focus on these weaknesses." If there is no problem in normal times, but now it is not good, not to mention the consumption, just the opposite side has 500,000 troops plus the mentality of a husband, this is no different from wasting ammunition. ”

What Qin Huang said was true, but Qin Ning couldn't find a more secure and effective method.

"Then if it were you, what would you do?" Qin Huang is a child after all, no matter how smart he is, he needs a growth process. Qin Ning felt that as a father, it was necessary to guide him well.

"A wave of carpet attacks, first remove the defensive bunkers on the cliff, and then use super defensive cannons to directly break through the walls of the city, and the rest is much simpler. Qin Huang said confidently, he felt that his method was the fastest and most effective.

Qin Ning didn't object, nodded, and said in appreciation: "Huang'er has really grown up, and he has his own opinions on marching and fighting." But Huang'er, did you find anything wrong with your approach?"

Qin Huang shook his head in confusion, revealing a look of anticipation and curiosity.

"First, if you do that, the consumption is too great, and it takes a lot of time to temporarily structure the defensive cannon, and it is easy to be discovered by the other party to carry out key death-type destruction; second, the carpet attack of the defensive bunker may not have much effect, at most, the bunker will be destroyed, but the people hidden in it will not be in great danger, Yifuguan has been in business for many years, these things should have been considered; third, and finally, the main force of the march and war is still the soldiers, if the soldiers are not needed to finish the matter with just a single bombardment of ordnance, then the soldiers will have inertia and dependence, which is not suitable for the long-term development of the Qin army！”

Qin Ning finished saying these three points in one breath, looking at Qin Huang with a smile on his face.

Qin Huang suddenly realized, nodded again and again and said, "Father, Huang'er knows his own shortcomings, and he will consider it more fully in the future!"

"Haha, good boy, you are my greatest pride!" Qin Ning said with a laugh, liking the kid more and more.

Suddenly, Qin Huang's gaze froze, he stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, and shouted with a little excitement.

"Hey, father, the heavy cannon has gone off, and Uncle Sha is moving!" (To be continued......)
