As the army approached, the defenders at Duanhun Pass began to feel unprecedented pressure.
Looking down at the dark mass of people below, a sense of fear welled up in their hearts.
The feeling was like being pressed down on their chest by an invisible mountain, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.
Li Jing's eyes were sharp as he stared intently at the Soul-Severing Pass ahead.
His gaze was firm and sharp.
It's as if you can see through layers of clouds and mist and directly into the interior of the level.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still.
Only the surging black ocean and the lonely fortress remained between heaven and earth.
At this moment, Li Jing stood on a high ground not far away, looking down at the Broken Soul Pass below.
He did not rush to launch an attack.
Instead, they first sent out scouts to conduct detailed reconnaissance and exploration.
He needs to understand the internal structure of the checkpoint, the troop deployment of the defenders, and information such as possible traps and obstacles.
In order to develop a more thorough and effective attack plan.
As time went on, the scouts returned one by one, bringing detailed intelligence.
Li Jing carefully analyzed this intelligence and gradually figured out the details of Duanhun Pass.
Although Duanhun Pass is strategically important and easy to defend, it is difficult to attack.
However, the defending forces were not strong enough, and their morale was low and their combat effectiveness was limited.
This gave him an opportunity.
We can exploit these weaknesses of the defending forces to launch a surprise attack.
They conquered the level with lightning speed.
"Shubao, where is General Xue?"
Li Jing withdrew his deep gaze from the Broken Soul Pass and turned to ask Qin Qiong, who stood quietly to the side like a pine tree.
Qin Qiong, courtesy name Shubao, was a famous general of the Tang Dynasty.
At this moment, however, he temporarily took on the role of Li Jing's deputy general.
To assist him in commanding this crucial battle.
"Reporting back to the Commander-in-Chief, according to the latest report from the scouts..."
"General Xue and his men have been wandering in the mountains west of Qizhou for several days."
"The exact location is not yet clear, but it should be in this vicinity."
Upon hearing Li Jing's question, Qin Qiong immediately replied.
Li Jing nodded slightly; he already knew exactly where Xue Rengui and the others were going.
It was a key factor in his launching of the surprise attack.
Previously, Xue Rengui and others led elite cavalry to conduct guerrilla warfare throughout Qizhou, disrupting the enemy's deployment and defenses.
But the result is also obvious.
They were chased around by the Silver Feathered Flying Cavalry sent by Prince Qi.
After being besieged and intercepted by Prince Qi for some time.
Xue Rengui and his men charged left and right.
In a daze.
They wandered over to the mountains west of Qizhou.
And their appearance.
This also made the originally impregnable Qizhou defense line riddled with holes and on the verge of collapse.
Currently, most of the garrison forces inside Duanhun Pass are concentrated on Li Jing's Cangzhou army.
The other side faces away from the city wall within Qizhou territory.
The defensive forces are extremely weak.
As long as Xue Rengui and others seize the opportunity.
We can definitely take Broken Soul Pass in one battle!
"Let General Xue and General Tie split their forces into two groups."
"Continue to maintain guerrilla tactics and be sure to tie down Qi's pursuing forces."
"At the same time, we should closely monitor Qi Jun's movements and reactions, and be ready to provide support and assistance at any time."
"Another secret force has arrived at Soul-Severing Pass!"
Li Jing gave the order in a deep voice.
Meanwhile, in the mountains west of Qizhou, Xue Rengui and his men were also extremely busy.
During this period, they made full use of the terrain and the enemy's carelessness.
They moved swiftly and unpredictably through the mountains.
They would occasionally launch surprise attacks to strike the enemy's weak points.
Sometimes they would break into smaller groups and infiltrate behind enemy lines to create chaos and destruction.
The actions seemed to be completely haphazard.
But in reality, it was a carefully planned and deliberate scheme.
After a period of encirclement, interception, and maneuvering.
Xue Rengui and his men already had a thorough understanding of the terrain of Qizhou and the enemy's deployment.
They knew which areas were the enemy's key defensive points, which were their supply lines, and which were their weak points...
They memorized all of this information.
And be ready to make use of it at any time.
At this very moment, in a dazed and confused state.
They wandered over to the western mountains of Qizhou.
However, they did not rush to launch an attack or reveal their whereabouts.
Instead, they chose to hide and closely observe the surrounding situation and changes.
He simply sent an intelligence agent from Luo Wang to inform Li Jing.
As time went by and the battle situation evolved, Xue Rengui and others gradually figured out the enemy's strengths and weaknesses and dynamics.
They discovered that although the enemy had a certain advantage in numbers and equipment.
However, due to the prolonged pursuit and continuous combat, they have gradually shown signs of fatigue and chaos.
This gave them an opportunity, and they decided to seize the chance to launch an attack to break the stalemate and turn the tide of the battle.
Clearly, Xue Rengui had also realized the opportunity!
However, just as they were preparing to launch their attack...
Unexpectedly, they received an order from Li Jing: to suspend the attack plan, and to send a part of the army to continue guerrilla tactics to contain the enemy's main force, while the rest of the army went to the rear of Duanhun Pass.
Xue Rengui was taken aback by this sudden order.
Then he realized it instantly.
He led Mo Peng and six thousand troops directly towards the direction of Broken Soul Pass.
The remaining 5,000 troops continued to be led by Tie Shiwen.
They circled around the pursuing troops sent by Prince Qi.
Although Xue Rengui and Tie Shiwen set off.
He led an army of 30,000 to Qizhou.
However, after a period of continuous fighting and multiple clashes with the enemy,
The detachment they led has now been somewhat "slimmed down".
The original force of 30,000 was reduced to just over 10,000 men.
But that's enough.
If we can capture Broken Soul Pass this time...
So, Xue Rengui, Tie Shiwen, Jiao Mo, and Mo Peng are the four of them.
The mission of the detachment he led has been successfully completed.
Even exceeding the target!
"Haha, it seems we really need to streamline our operations this time."
Xue Rengui took a breath and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, but it's fine this way."
"With fewer people, we can move more flexibly and catch the enemy off guard more easily."
Tie Shiwen grinned and chimed in.
The two men smiled at each other, their eyes sparkling with confidence.
Although the number of soldiers has decreased, the remaining 10,000-plus men are all elite soldiers who have been tempered by war.
Their fighting strength remains undiminished.
Moreover, they also had two war god-level powerhouses, Jiao Mo and Mo Peng, by their side.
It can be said that it is like adding wings to a tiger.
"If we can capture Broken Soul Pass this time, then the mission of our detachment will be successfully completed."
Xue Rengui continued, his tone revealing determination and confidence, "You could even say we exceeded expectations!"
"Originally, we only planned to cause sabotage within Qizhou, so that Qizhou could not fully reinforce the Qizhou Mountains."
"To assist General Li Jing in his offensive within the mountains."
"Now it seems that we have not only accomplished this, but may even have inflicted greater damage and losses on the enemy."
Tie Shiwen nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right. This time, we not only successfully tied down the enemy's main force, but also eliminated a significant portion of their manpower."
"Once Commander Li Jing and his men have captured Duanhun Pass, we can join forces to attack the enemy's main force and completely annihilate them within Qizhou territory."
At this point, both of their eyes gleamed with excitement and anticipation.
