Chapter 494: The Great War is about to begin

Su Li's 'small change' immediately made everyone put down their affairs and ran out, and then they were so frightened that they couldn't speak.

Especially Wang Jian, with his barely innate cultivation, he felt the majestic vitality surging on Su Li's body like a sea tide, and he was almost scared to pee...... He remembered that he had actually given the lungstone that he thought was a gift that night, and then he saw that Su Li's body had gathered thousands of times more vitality...... He felt like he was stupid.

And the whirring Zhang Zhi made his eyes as wide as brass bells, looked and looked at the left and left of the city, and ran out of the gate and stamped his feet vigorously on the slope......

After a while, he came back in amazement and said, "Good fellow, you really raised so much at once...... It's just that this place is still too spacious, if only it were narrower. ”

But Wang Jian was already beside him and said angrily: "What do you know? ”

"The space for 10,000 people to line up under the city wall is not reserved for the enemy, but for ourselves!"

"Do you see if there is a place for a funnel to close under the gentle slope? At that time, although the enemy is 350,000 strong, he will have to attack the slope of this mountain road, and he can only attack our 10,000-strong army with very few men, and he will have to face the arrows thrown from the wall above his head......

"With this advantageous location, the last general thinks that even if a million troops come here, what can they do? As long as the logistics are in place, they can be safely guarded!"

Wang Jian said in an extremely excited tone.

He really felt that he would not be defeated this time, how could he be defeated with an immortal figure like the national teacher sitting on his side?

Ji Zheng carefully looked at the changes in this Red Mountain Pass, and a familiar feeling surged up in his heart...... This is very similar to the situation when he fought to the death with Wei Wushu in the Northland, Su Li also set up the stage for him in this way, and then let him win in the most beautiful way.

"It's nice to have a gentleman here. Ji Zheng sighed softly, and then he lifted his spirits and took Wang Jian and the others to start rearranging.

The army formation outside the Red Mountain Pass was armed, and behind the city wall was a temporary camp for the wounded soldiers in front and the soldiers who took turns to recuperate.

On the other hand, there are only a few night watchmen stationed on the city wall for the time being...... What was once the only line of defense has now become a second line of defense.

This leaves enough flexible space for Hongshan Pass, which could only be defended.

Then there's the logistical supply aspect...... Today's Western Qin is not a national mobilization, but it can definitely be regarded as exhausting its national strength.

In other respects, the battlefield has been stabilized, and the logistical resources are also greatly tilted towards the side of Hongshan Pass.

The follow-up material resources were continuously transported into the mountain pass, and in this case, Su Li still secretly asked for help from the sect...... The Sword Cliff Sect is not good at participating in the frontal battlefield, but protecting this logistics line is not a problem.

Ordinary soldiers can't cross the Red Mountain Pass, but those demonic monks don't have this problem.

Although Su Li did not interfere in specific combat affairs, he really took Ji Zheng into account in all aspects.

So after Wang Jian screened the soldiers, Ji Zheng personally controlled and began to intensify the training...... Ji Zheng personally trained his troops, and his training ability was actually very powerful, after all, he would integrate some methods of training sharp soldiers. It's also a way to help him control the soldiers on this side.

Wang Jian took those white heads to deal with logistics affairs...... This is equally important, because many of these old people are experienced craftsmen.

As a result, the stone-throwing machines that had been restricted for a long time in the warehouse of Hongshanguan could be assembled. There are a total of twenty stone throwers, which may still play a good role in this war.

But the time for such preparations was running out, and when the entire Hongshan Pass continued to prepare in full swing for nearly thirty days, looking at the desert area outside the mountain from the mountain pass wall where the foundation was raised, it was finally possible to see a black oppressive thing pressing towards this side.

After waiting for so long, the army of the Western Regions is finally here.

"Please Your Majesty and the National Teacher watch the battle on the city tower, and let the last future try those Hu people in the Western Regions first?" Wang Jian came to Ji Zheng and bowed with his fists in front of him, looking very humble.

Ji Zheng bowed his head slightly when he heard this: "Wang Aiqing, then this first formation will be handed over to you to deal with, don't lose my Great Qin Guowei." ”

When Wang Jian heard this, he immediately cheered up and said: "Thank you Your Majesty for your trust, the last general will definitely live up to his mission!"

When he met a king who was willing to delegate power, especially at such a critical moment, Wang Jian only felt that this was really his luck.

He immediately took a deep breath? Turned around and began to arrange.

Wang Jian, who grovelled in front of Ji Zheng, returned to the army, is it really a dazzling feeling? He gave orders very clearly and methodically, so that every officer knew what to do at this time.

Therefore, the Hongshan Pass Border Army was soon stationed in the open space outside the wall...... It is said that the space of 10,000 people is not full of 10,000 people? But three thousand shield guards guarded in front of the funnel-shaped mountain road for the forerunner? Five thousand crossbowmen in the rear were ready to strike.

The gap left in the middle is to make it easier to dispatch troops.

Looking at the coherent situation in front of you? Ji Zheng nodded secretly in his heart, feeling that this Wang Jian really had the material of a general.

Because there were more than 10,000 white-headed men in the original 40,000 border army soldiers? Therefore, at this time, there are only nearly 50,000 available soldiers at this Red Mountain Pass.

But now Wang Jian is so arranged? But by taking advantage of the terrain, these 50,000 people can be used for six rotations.

Obviously, they have made up their minds to fight a protracted battle with the Western Regions Alliance forces outside this Red Mountain Pass.

And the longer it takes, the more beneficial it is for the Western Qin side. After all, the Western Regions Alliance is far away, what means of supply can they have?

Everyone waited quietly on the top of Guan Mountain for the black army to come. From afar, there was a dark cloud with no end in sight.

Ji Zheng and Su Li both stood on the wall and waited for the situation on the field to change...... The feeling of these thirty-five people in front of me is really a suffocating pressure.

But the coalition forces on the opposite side did not immediately climb the mountain and seize the pass...... After all, those people are not stupid either? This Hongshan Pass was so 'small' changed by Su Li that it was simply heartbroken.

"They're encamping? Doesn't it look like you're ready to tackle the problem?" Beiguang said in a suffocated tone.

"Oh, Xiaoguang, can you see that far away?" asked Ji Zheng.

"Yes. Beiguang nodded.

"It's talented, and it deserves to be a disciple of Mr. Su......" Ji Zheng praised it, and then passed the news to Wang Jian below.

Subsequently, Wang Ji, who was waiting in the formation below, hesitated slightly, and actually made a move that no one expected...... He waved his hand directly? Let the soldiers who were originally lined up only leave a thousand people on guard, and then all returned to the customs to rest.

Is this so neat and tidy? But it was also Ji Zheng who saw it and nodded secretly...... Since the other party knew that they were tired from afar and had to rest before they set out, then of course they couldn't be fools here.

And they have one more advantage? That is, from above the wall, overlooking the below, the situation of the Western Regions Alliance Army below is really unobstructed.

Soon the sun star tilts westward? The ramp in front of the pass was quickly overshadowed.

When the horizon darkens? Wang Jian also explained to the deputy generals around him? Then I'm ready to go back to the gate for a short rest.

But at this time, Beiguang suddenly noticed something strange...... He looked at the shadow beside Wang Jian and seemed a little strange.

But before he could figure out what the situation was, Su Li beside him had already moved suddenly, raised his hand and grabbed a city wall brick on the wall and smashed it down......

"Bump!"

A figure was smashed out of the shadows behind Wang Jian, holding a knife that was completely black in his hand...... It's just that this person has a deflated head now, and he fell straight to the ground.

"Sure enough, it's the unscrupulous style of the devil, and he directly sent someone to assassinate him. Su Li snorted coldly and continued: "Although I can't meddle in the frontal battlefield at will, don't do this kind of thing under my nose!"

Beiguang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time kept reminding himself in his heart that he couldn't be so careless anymore...... Since he can find the clues, he should also be vigilant.

This was just an episode, and Wang Jian didn't say much about the assassin's appearance, as if he had known that there would be such a day.

There was nothing to say that night.

Maybe the camp of the Western Regions Alliance Army is still preparing for the night attack of the Western Qin army, but Wang Jian is extremely steady with his troops, and he thinks that staying in Hongshan Pass is the real advantage, so there is no reason to rashly leave this advantageous place and go to the desert plain below to sneak attack?

"General Wang's decision is indeed right, those people from the Western Regions have really set up traps to prepare for our sneak attack. Early in the morning, Beiguang looked at the coalition camp in the distance and exclaimed.

His eyesight was excellent, but he could see that someone was picking up traps that didn't work at night......

"Don't pay attention to them, we just need to hold on to the gates, how long can they hold out when they come from the desert?" Wang Jian was a radical man, but he was extremely steady in his work, especially when he marched and fought.

His meaning is very clear, behind the Hongshan Pass defenders is the support of the entire Great Qin's national strength. But what is behind those Western Regions coalition forces? Where do they get the supplies and food to fight the Qin army for a long time?

Sure enough, the Western Regions Coalition saw that they could not induce the Qin army to go out of the pass and attack them at night, so they could only climb the mountain and hold the pass in full swing during the day on the second day.

And it wasn't until the horn was blowing and starting to climb the mountain that Wang Jian slowly instructed his soldiers to enter the preset battlefield and set up defenses.

The 1,000 soldiers who had been here all night last night simply withdrew to the pass to rest.

Obviously, in Wang Jian's opinion, the situation is far from critical now, so he can rest with confidence and boldly rotate and rest.
