Chapter 1089.
Boom!
Accompanied by a deafening explosive boom, large chunks of mountain rock collapsed.
Before the dust and mist cleared, a large number of folk swarmed up, some picking and pulling at the rubble, some tying thick ropes to the large chunks of rock, just like a hard-working worker ant.
A mile away, the Solid Gold Pass, which originally belonged to Great Qin, was swarming with people, with all kinds of horns sounding one after another, a busy scene.
Nowadays, this majestic pass that guarded the main pass had already become a mega construction site.
The one who presided over and planned this project was none other than Wang Duan, who, after wielding his army and occupying the Solid Gold Pass, immediately issued a conscription order to recruit 200,000 young men to rebuild the fortress.
Because the original building pattern of the Solid Gold Pass was that the defense side was in the east, now that it was under the ownership of Great Zhou, it was natural to change the direction.
Wang Chen wanted to build it into a bridgehead for Great Zhou to invade Great Qin.
This is what is called an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!
These young and strong folk he conscripted were basically Yan people, adopting the principle of proximity.
However, Wang Chen did not treat the Yan people as cattle and horses, he used the wealth seized from the three major clans as well as food, using the pay per labor method to distribute these farmers.
Not only that, but Wang Chen also took out pills and put them into water tanks, giving them the diluted pills to take.
He even participated in the construction himself, solving the problems with the help of spells.
Under such circumstances, the 200,000 conscripted Yan people’s laborers went from reluctant to willing, and the reconstruction of the Solid Gold Pass flew by so fast that it was expected to be fully completed in three months’ time.
By that time, as long as the huge cannons were erected on the city walls, the Solid Gold Pass would be truly solid as gold!
In the meantime, the iron cavalry of the Western Expeditionary Army had first occupied the Chi Road west of the Solid Gold Pass, and had set up a camp position west of the mountain range, constantly sending out rangers to scout the situation of Great Qin.
Wang Chen didn’t expect that he could completely solve Great Qin by coming down this time, this task should be accomplished by Wu Jie and Ling Zhiyuan.
Because as his strength increased, he could increasingly feel the influence of this world on him.
Or rather rejection!
Wang Dust knew very well that the time he stayed was limited.
So what he had to do was to create as much great momentum as he could for Wu Jiao and Ling Zhiyuan.
The great momentum of conquering the entire world!
During the rebuilding of the Solid Gold Pass, Wang Chen had been in contact with Ling Zhiyuan and knew that this doppelganger of his was currently still confronting the Great Qin Military God Qin Qi, and both sides had fought a few more times, with neither side taking a big advantage.
As for the imperial court’s Wujian, she had already returned to the imperial capital, and her task was to stabilize the situation within Great Zhou, quell the rebellions in various places, and then build up her strength for the future.
The division of labor between the three was very clear!
Wu Jiao had also sent several letters to Wang Duan through her fast rider, expressing her feelings of longing and mutual admiration.
It was just that for Wang Dust nowadays, the love of children was destined to be put last.
After completely occupying the Solid Gold Pass, he realized that the world source power contained in the Cangqing Ring had increased quite a bit.
Apparently this event had a significant impact on the normal development and operation of this world, causing Wang Chuan to harvest some World Source.
Wang Chen’s understanding and mastery of the Cang Qing Realm had also deepened quite a bit as a result.
The Small World Raider, was getting better!
However, Wang Chuan didn’t have the patience to stay at the Solid Gold Pass for three months, and after waiting for the supplies such as ammunition, grain, and grass to be delivered from the rear, he left 15,000 soldiers to guard this majestic pass, and led 50,000 iron cavalry riders westward out of the Great Snowy Mountains.
He stepped into the territory of Great Qin.
The territory of Great Qin in the extreme west is extremely vast, and it is said that the total area far exceeds the sum of Great Yan and Great Qi, and is not under the Great Zhou of the three countries that are now under one.
Great Qin has been established for a thousand years, and its depth is unimaginable.
But through the Qin prisoners’ confessions, Wang Duan already knows that there are a lot of problems in the country of Qin, the biggest trouble is that the local lords are strong, and have formed the situation of tailing off.
Great Qin’s covetousness and invasion of Great Zhou, the fundamental purpose is to solve the internal problems, or internal conflicts to the outside, through the war to obtain wealth and slaves, to meet the needs of all parties, and then continue the throne.
Currently confronting Ling Zhiyuan in the north were the Great Qin’s Feathered Forest Army and the allied forces of the local lords!
Understanding such a situation, Wang Dust brazenly waved his army to invade, and aimed his first target at the closest vassal power to the Solid Gold Pass.
Thus, in the southeastern part of Great Qin, intense smoke filled the air!
Two months later.
Wang Dust stood on a high mountainside, gazing at the blackened army in the distance.
In the past two months, he had led 50,000 iron horsemen to conquer seven cities in a row, including a county with a population of millions of people, killing countless enemies and capturing countless captures, and capturing a Great Qin Marquis alive.
This prince has already been sent to the capital of the Great Zhou Empire and handed over to Wu Jie to deal with.
Although Wang Duan’s achievements were far from being able to shake the foundation of the huge Qin state, wherever the iron horsemen of the Great Zhou went, the Qin people fled in all directions, setting off a panic that greatly outweighed the actual losses.
Now, the Western Expeditionary Army finally had a real opponent.
An elite Qin army of over 200,000 men!
Wang Dust glanced back.
Behind him, 50,000 generals were standing by.
Although the Western Expeditionary Army had suffered a fair amount of casualties during the ongoing battle, the backup from the Solid Gold Pass had been unbroken, so the number had slightly increased compared to before they left the pass.
The increase was mainly in gunners and cannons.
Woo~
The majestic horn sounded, and the vast battlefield was solemn.
Wang Chen waved his hand and dropped the flag, the hundreds of cannons arranged at the front of the battle formation immediately shed their gunsuits, and one by one, the cannoneers skillfully began to load the ammunition, with sharp whistling sounds rising and falling.
The next moment, tens of thousands of cannoneers lined up and advanced forward, advancing to a position on par with the artillery.
“Fire!”
With a command from the flag bearer of the artillery battalion, a hundred cannons violently let out a thunderous roar, a plume of smoke rose, and a single blossoming bullet whistled towards the enemy camp.
Since the gunners had adjusted the firing angle beforehand and had put the charge to the maximum, the first round of shelling hit the maximum range of these field artillery.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A shell exploded in the middle of the Qin army, and suddenly blood and flesh flew in all directions with screams, and countless warriors fell.
Their bravery could not even be utilized for a single moment before they had already become dead souls under the artillery fire!
After the first round of shelling, the Qin generals realized that the situation was not good, and immediately ordered the whole army to charge at the Western Expeditionary Army.
Only a short combat can win the victory!
However, the Qin apparently did not learn their lesson, or thought that they could withstand the casualties of the charge by spreading out their troops.
What greeted them was a hot projectile.
And when many brave warriors fought their way to the front of the Western Expeditionary Army against the rain of bullets, they suddenly realized that the solid ground under their feet had turned into a quagmire.
They were trapped in it, and all of them became living targets!
