Chapter 1086.

The killing, continued until the time of nightfall.

When the wolf-like warriors of the Great Zhou rushed into the devastated Tulu Walled City and launched a merciless slaughter, not many people were left inside who were still able to resist.

For this western expedition, Wang Chen had not only drafted up 50,000 iron horsemen, but had also recruited seven fifth-ranked Martial Zongs and hundreds of fourth-ranked Martial Generals to accompany him, specializing in taking care of the scattered enemy experts.

The Tulu Tribe had suffered heavy losses in the war against Hanhai City, and today, not even half of their strength remained, their core warriors were cowering in the city fortress, and they had been bombarded by hundreds of artillery pieces.

Doomed to perish!

“Destroy the whole clan, leave no dogs or chickens behind!”

This was the iron order given by Wang Dust, and then one clan dignitary was searched out from the cellar chamber and dragged out to be beheaded like a dead dog.

Also searched out was a large amount of gold, silver and goods.

That night, on the grassland three miles away from Tulu’s fortress, a feast was held to celebrate the victory.

The wood removed from the walled city was split into firewood and set up a pile of bonfires, and a head of fat cattle and sheep were dragged to the side of a stream to be slaughtered and cleaned, then cut up and coated with salt and spices, and put on the fire to be roasted.

The thick aroma of roasted meat quickly drowned out the faint stench of scorched meat that drifted from afar.

Wang Chen took out large jars of fine wine and had them distributed to all the generals to enjoy together.

In addition to drafting tens of thousands of elite cavalrymen for this western expedition, he had also raided several county treasuries including Hanhai and Xihai, storing a huge amount of supplies in the Cangqing Ring.

And in addition to the wine and meat, Wang Chen also distributed large sums of gold and silver from the seizures.

The cavalry’s morale instantly reached full strength!

They had followed Wang Dust on his western expedition, and although the journey was hard, they never worried about food and clothing, and they were invincible, killing enemies and destroying clans as if they were walking on the ground, and this kind of triumph and fulfillment was absolutely unparalleled enjoyment.

In the minds of all the knights, Wang Dust was already a god-like existence.

Everyone believed that they would definitely win the final victory!

The next day, this Great Zhou Western Expeditionary Army set off again on a new journey.

Three days later, the Hu Di Clan was destroyed.

Ten days later, the White Wolf Clan was destroyed.

Since a small number of clansmen from all three clans managed to escape, the fame of this cavalry army quickly spread in all directions.

In people’s descriptions, the Western Expeditionary Army, which was always ready to destroy clans, was just like a devil army.

And Wang Duan, who led them, became a terrifying devil king.

In the original Great Yan territory, Wang Duan traveled all the way north, and wherever he went, there was no resistance, and every capital city and county had to welcome the king’s division with a pot of rice and a lot of flattery.

After the destruction of Yan by Zhou, the new rule is not stable, rebellion occurs from time to time.

Especially in the last few years, the western Qin has been sending people into Yan to cause trouble, and colluding with the remnants of Yan to cause trouble.

The invasion of the three great clans into Hanhai was a general outbreak!

Now that the three great clans had all been destroyed and hundreds of thousands of people had been slaughtered, everyone realized the brutality of the Western Expeditionary Army and were silenced.

Many local Yan officials even offered gold, silver and even wives and daughters to Wang Chuan, just to save themselves.

For these scared guys, Wang Chuan accepted their offer of gold and silver, but refused the women.

He was not a Cao thief.

In addition, Wang Dust also made additions in Yan Di, raising the number of the Western Expeditionary Army to 65,000 men.

In the process of destroying the three great clans, the Western Expeditionary Army captured over 100,000 horses, further boosting its strength.

However, it was the combat power of the entire cavalry army that was boosted the fastest!

Along with each victory, the Western Expeditionary Army’s blade was sharpened and revealed its hideous fangs.

After a short rest and reorganization, Wang Dust swung his army westward towards the Great Qin territory.

Great Qin and Yan did not share a direct border, separated by long mountain ranges and vast deserts.

But as this vast empire turned its covetous gaze to the east, the Qin opened up a flaccid path in the Yuntian Mountains and built a large pass.

In fact, the collision between Great Qin and Great Zhou did not happen all of a sudden. Originally, Great Qin had the intention of invading and conquering Yan, only that they had now changed their target to Great Zhou.

The Qin people called the fortress they built “Solid Gold Pass”, which means “solid as gold”.

Three days later, the Western Expeditionary Army led by Wang Chuan arrived at the Solid Gold Pass and set up their camp twenty miles away from the wall.

“Lord State Master, that’s the Solid Gold Pass.”

A local guide with gray hair respectfully pointed at the fortress between the mountains in the distance and said to Wang Duan, “The Qin have stationed at least 50,000 troops there.”

The Solid Gold Pass was not built in a day or two, but it was only because Yan had been overthrown by Great Zhou, whose rule was too unstable to cover the border region, that the Qin had succeeded in stealing the chicken.

Not only that, the Qin army also attacked the place under the guise of robbers and plundered a large number of young men and women to build the city.

This Yan guide was one of them, and later escaped with his life.

Because of his own miserable experience in the process of building the Solid Gold Pass, he hated the Qin people to the bone.

Bringing his own dry food, he volunteered to lead the way for the Western Expeditionary Army as well.

Wang Dust nodded and said, “Reward.”

After sending the guide away with the reward, Wang Dust and the army generals discussed the plan to attack the Solid Gold Pass.

The Western Expeditionary Army was all cavalry, and although everyone could use cannon weapons, and there was a group of artillerymen among them, how could they take down this majestic pass without a large number of professional infantry and matching instruments?

According to the guides, the walls of the Solid Gold Pass were over a hundred feet in height, with a width at the top that could accommodate two chariots side by side, and all sorts of defensive facilities were in place.

And there were also artillery weapons deployed!

Most importantly, this fortress was backed by a huge empire, and with the logistical support of the Chitao and the 50,000 elite Qin troops guarding it, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was solid as gold.

Solid Gold Pass is clearly one of the bridgeheads of Qin’s eastward invasion, although the main force of Qin army is currently in the north confronting with Wushu and Ling Zhiyuan, but as long as there is an opportunity, the 50,000 Qin soldiers stationed in this fortress can enter the Yan land at any time to make waves.

This was also the reason why Wang Chen was determined to take down the Solid Gold Pass!

And several of the military generals were all frowning.

Solid Gold Pass held a dangerous terrain with almost no cracks, how could the Western Expeditionary Army without a single large siege weapon break this bronze-walled fortress?

Wang Dust noticed their expressions and smiled, “I’ll be responsible for opening the gates of the Solid Gold Pass.”

Everyone was instantly energized and looked at each other.

If it was someone else who said such a thing, everyone would definitely just take it as a joke.

But with Wang Chen saying this, who would dare not believe it?

And so the planning scheme for attacking the Solid Gold Pass was plotted around the city gates being opened.
