Chapter 8 Canglong Mountains, Tianyong Pass

Chapter 8 Canglong Mountains, Tianyong Pass
"Chang Hai? The eldest son of Duke Chang."

Wang Xuanyan smiled and said, "As long as they are loyal to the emperor, they are nothing to be afraid of. Most of the strong men that the young emperor can mobilize are now concentrated in Qianzhou. Even if they guess that we will launch a surprise attack on Tianyong Pass, it will be difficult for them to resist, not to mention that the Duke is here."

He was a famous general of his time and knew that Daxia was not without strong men.

But there were many powerful people that the little emperor did not dare to use, let alone put them in such a critical place as Tianyong Pass.

After all, Prince Ning is stronger.

There is also the precedent of Li Hong.

"General Wang is right."

Li Hong smiled and said, "How many people are willing to swear allegiance to the emperor until death? There are too few who are loyal blindly. They just rely on the prestige of Taizu and the former crown prince."

"Without delay, we must quickly attack Tianyong Pass. As long as the prince successfully enters the capital and achieves his imperial cause, Duke Li will be the head of the dukes!"

Wang Xuanyan shouted.

"Okay, quickly take Tianyong, then control the Canglong Mountains and overlook the capital!"

Li Hong said.

In his heart, he felt no guilt at all for betraying Chu Feng.

now.

The army galloped towards Tianyong Pass.

At Tianyong Pass.

It is said to be a pass, but in fact it is an area with mountains.

From afar, the mountains are undulating and vast. The mountain ranges stretch across a very long area like dragon bones, forming a barrier.

This is the Canglong Mountains.

Looking down from the sky, it is winding and twisted.

And Dijing is like a dragon head, occupying a key position.

Once Tianyong Pass is captured, one can overlook the capital, as if nailing a dragon's neck.

This place has always been a key point of defense. In addition to the Tianyong Main Pass, there are also many fortresses.

Prince Ning fought the battle of Qianzhou, forcing the imperial court not to deploy too many troops there.

Moreover, with Li Hong leading the troops personally, there are few people in the court who can confront him head-on. Even if there are those who can fight him head-on, they are not here for various reasons.

"General Wang, will they really come?"

Tianyong Pass.

A strong man asked Wang Jian.

He then turned his gaze to the outside of Tianyong Pass.

Chang Hai, a powerful man, is also the uncle of the current emperor.

Originally, Tianyong Pass was guarded by the Xu family, but in continuous battles, too many strong men betrayed Chu Feng.

In addition to the relationship between the Xu family and Prince Ning, even if the Xu family is honest now, Chu Feng did not dare to trust them, so he could only put this task on Chang Hai, who he could trust.

If even Li Hong can betray, what is impossible?

It is also because of this that Your Majesty does not trust many people in the court and dare not completely entrust important matters to them.

"They will definitely come."

Wang Jian firmly believed this.

Chang Hai nodded.

In fact, he was also surprised when Wang Jian arrived with the secret decree from His Majesty.

He also received handwritten letters from his father and His Majesty, which allowed him to fully trust Wang Jian.

Although he was a Tongtian, he did not have much confidence before. But with Wang Jian, who was also Tongtian level eight, sitting by his side, he was not so worried.

"Well, I will wait for them here. They will be very surprised when they see General Wang."

There was a cold light in Chang Hai's eyes.

Not only for His Majesty, but also for the future glory of the Chang family, Prince Ning must not be allowed to seize the throne.

The higher your status in the country, the more you can get.

There are many strong people in Daxia.

There are many such beings even in the sky.

Why?

Precisely because Daxia occupies the richest one capital and thirty-six states, most of the world's resources are concentrated in the hands of the court, and there is enough capacity to cultivate strong people.

“To defend Tianyong Pass is actually to defend Duke Chang. As long as the barrier of the imperial capital is not lost, the court will not be in chaos, and the situation of trapping the dragon will not be formed.” Wang Jian said.

"I see."

Chang Hai looked serious.

He knew that his father would live and die with Qianzhou.

This time, Wang Jian also brought the magic bow and the Chongshan army to defend together.

At this time.

Li Hong's army also quickly arrived at Tianyong Pass.

Looking at the vast mountains, he sighed: "Tianyong Pass is located in the Canglong Mountains. That Tianyong Pass was built under the supervision of Xu Guogong and I. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is densely covered with fortresses, and the entire Canglong Mountains are integrated. Formations are engraved on every peak. To this day, the formations are still being improved."

He knew the Canglong Mountains very well, and many of the passes were built by him.

But only a few years have passed, so the changes should not be significant.

"I can deal with Chang Hai alone. Even if there are some Tongtian hidden in Tianyong Pass, even if Duke Li takes action personally, he is no match for me. Moreover, this time, the prince has also mobilized elite troops for us!"

The fire of fighting spirit burned in Wang Xuanyan's eyes.

"Tianyong Pass and the entire Canglong Mountains must be captured. This way, we can turn the situation of protecting the dragon into a situation of trapping the dragon, and interrupt the distant connection between the Imperial Capital and the Canglong Mountains."

Li Hong said: "The Imperial Capital is the dragon head, and the Canglong Mountains are the dragon body. This is to cut off the dragon head and the dragon body."

The Imperial Capital was heavily guarded, as both he and Prince Ning knew.

Prince Ning could naturally take a detour and attack the capital directly.

But he knew in his heart that if he didn't take over the Canglong Mountains, the cost of a forceful attack would be too high.

"If the Canglong Mountains and Qianzhou fall into our hands, there will be chaos within the court, which will undermine people's hearts. Back then, Taizu took action in the East China Sea and subdued the big monster. It is a national guardian beast and one of the trump cards in the hands of the little emperor."

Li Hong said.

He is very familiar with Daxia's powerful men and various deployments.

Taizu had predicted when he would die, but he did not expect that the crown prince would die before him.

"How do you plan to fight, Duke? There are many mountains, and our Tianning Iron Cavalry is not good at such attacks. Do we really have to attack them one by one?"

Although Wang Xuanyan was eager to make a contribution, he was not stupid and knew that a frontal attack would be unbearable.

"Of course not."

Li Hong denied it, "Your Highness asked me to come here because I understand Tianyong's defense. Only by concentrating the army to attack Tianyong's main pass, Chang Hai can work hard for His Majesty, but other generals may not. With me here, I can persuade them with emotion and reason. By attacking and appeasing them at the same time, we can break down Tianyong's defense line."

He was a cautious person and knew Tianyong's defenses, so how could he do the stupidest thing?

The most terrifying thing about this place is that the commander can set up formations and mobilize the power of heaven and earth. Even if the army is several times larger, it is difficult to break through the Tianyong Defense Line.

But defenses are often breached from within.

Wang Xuanyan was also not interested and kept delaying.

"What are we waiting for? Let's attack immediately." Wang Xuanyan said.

"The entire army will advance under my command and can bypass some of the defense lines."

Li Hong said.

They only took a short break before launching an attack.

Although the defenders of Tianyong were well-rested, Li Hong believed that the people were in a panic and they could only rely on the decisive battle of Qianzhou to maintain their morale.

As long as he met some familiar military generals, he could personally persuade them to surrender.

At this moment, although they were running wildly, their momentum was strong and each of them was holding back their energy to perform meritorious service.

Soon, under Li Hong's command, several checkpoints were bypassed or directly broken through by them using tough measures.

Chang Hai, who was far away at the main gate, frowned.

This Li Hong knew the formation of Tianyong Pass too well and broke it from the weak point.

"General Wang, how can we stop them?" Chang Hai asked.

"No hurry. Wait until they gather their forces outside Tianyong Pass. Then, I will personally take action. My presence will be an obstacle that they cannot overcome."

Wang Jian narrowed his eyes slightly, everything was under control.

"Catching a turtle in a jar, beating a dog behind closed doors, this is a good method!"

Chang Hai laughed out loud.
