    On the official road leading to Caoshan Pass, a large army was hurrying on its way.

    This is Qi¡¯s army.

    Wang Qi led the army to occupy Jin Zaishan's camp, and after resting, they marched again.  However, Caoshan Pass in the south was only thirty or forty miles away from the ferry, so the distance was not too far, so Wang Qi's army was not able to move quickly.

    In addition, the sentry detectives are also further investigating the situation at Caoshan Pass.

    As the army continued to move south, Xiao Qingzhi, Nie Feng, Qin Changyuan and Lin Yuze were walking and chatting about the attack on Caoshan Pass.

    We all know the general situation at Caoshan Pass, but we don¡¯t know the more detailed deployment of Goguryeo¡¯s troops at the moment. We need soldiers to send back the news before we can truly understand it.

    Xiao Qingzhi looked slightly relaxed and said: "Your Majesty, this time we attack Caoshan Pass, we have to prepare early. Just like we did when we attacked Jin Zaishan last time, we will set up a suitable strategy and then attack again to win in one go."

    "If you still don't pay attention to tactics and attack directly, the losses will be huge."

    "This group of Goguryeo elites is very capable. Not only are they not afraid of death, but they also dare to die. Therefore, we still have to discuss the strategy and figure out how to capture the enemies at Caoshan Pass before sending troops to attack."

    "When I thought about the last attack on Datong River, which was reckless from the beginning, but resulted in heavy casualties, Xiao Qingzhi felt a little heartbroken.

    "Learn from the past and be cautious."

    We can¡¯t make the same mistakes again.

    Qin Changyuan nodded and agreed: "The terrain of Caoshan Pass is very special, with steep mountain walls on both sides. On the mountain, soldiers can be arranged to ambush and block attacks. Now, although we have not yet found out the enemy's situation clearly, we can generally tell  It can be guessed that Jin Zaishan will definitely arrange people to ambush on both sides of the mountain walls and shoot with rifles. After all, under the intensive rifle fire, once we go down the mountain of Caoshan Pass, we will definitely suffer massive casualties."

    Lin Yuze said: "I also agree with the analysis of Qin Military Advisor. I think that in order to break through Caoshan Pass, we must use our strengths and avoid weaknesses, and cannot attack directly. So if we change our thinking, can we blow up the mountains on both sides of Caoshan Pass?"

    Xiao Qingzhi said: "It is not clear yet. After all, the specific situation of Caoshan Pass and the enemy's troop deployment are still being advanced. For the time being, it is difficult to determine."

    Lin Yuze said: "Let's put aside the question of whether we can blow up the mountain wall of Caoshan Pass for the time being, and let's change our thinking. Is it possible to conduct a large-scale artillery bombardment on the enemies ambushing on the slopes of Caoshan Pass?"

    "We have sufficient resources and have targeted the hillside with continuous bombardment. Previously, we were on the north bank of the Datong River. When we wanted to cross the river, because there was a river across the river, even if we deployed mortars, it would be difficult to adjust.  "

    "Now that we are on land, we can constantly adjust our bombing to suppress the trenches on the hillsides on both sides. The purpose we want to achieve is very simple, which is to transport a group of soldiers over while suppressing the firepower on the mountain."

    "As long as our soldiers establish a base south of Caoshan Pass, we can cut off Jin Zaishan's logistical supplies. Caoshan Pass is good, it is a commanding height."

    "However, they don't have weapons like cannons, nor mines, or grenades. It's still not easy to control Caoshan Pass. So we can cut off the opponent's retreat by transporting a group of soldiers there."

    "Jin Zaishan was short of food, grass, weapons, etc., so they were alone on the mountains on both sides of Caoshan Pass. Their only way was to send troops to attack the army south of Caoshan Pass."

    "The problem is that if you want to attack, you have to mobilize a large number of troops, and the defensive force on the mountain will be weak. So by then, we can march on a large scale. For us, this is not a difficult task."

    Lin Yuze¡¯s eyes flashed.

    He made his own suggestions.

    If his suggestion is adopted, the Youzhou Theater will have an advantage in this operation.

    Xiao Qingzhi thought about it carefully and found that Lin Yuze's suggestion was feasible. First, send an advance team to break through to the south of Caoshan Pass.  It will definitely not be easy for a large-scale army to cross Caoshan Pass.

    But it is still possible to go with a small number of troops.

    Xiao Qingzhi asked: "What do you think of this plan?"

    Nie Feng said: "I agree."

    Qin Changyuan said: "In principle, I agree. But for the time being, we still have to wait for the frontline scouts to send back the news."

    Xiao Qingzhi nodded.

    The four of them discussed the general strategy and continued on their way.

    After walking not far, there was a click from the official road ahead.As for entering from the mountains and forests on both sides, it is easiest to be ambushed when entering the forest.  Therefore, it is not easy to attack Caoshan Pass. This is a tough challenge.  At least compared to the Datong River, this is more difficult to deal with.  "

    Zhuge Feng rejected both suggestions.

    Neither is a good idea.

    Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "The current situation has encountered obstacles, so adjust your strategy. The task of attacking Caoshan Pass is given to Xiao Qingzhi. Xiao Qingzhi continues to bombard the mountain, suppressing Jin Zaishan's firepower and attracting Jin Zaishan's attention."

    "As for Nie Feng, you, Gu Tonghu, Lin Yuze and others, lead more than 10,000 troops, bypass the Caoshan Pass area, penetrate behind Caoshan Pass, and kill in the direction of Yongding City."

    "If you can stand between Yongding City and Caoshan Pass and cut off Jin Zaishan's material supplies at Caoshan Pass, Jin Zaishan will naturally be alone and unable to fight for a long time."

    "We were unable to implement interleaving tactics in the Datong River before, but now the roads are different. All the battles are on land. Although interleaving will take a detour, it is a great cost-effectiveness for us."

    "The main key this time is to penetrate. As long as the penetration is successful, it will be like a nail embedded in the back of Caoshan Pass, and all the problems will naturally be solved."

    "Of course, it would be best if we could capture Yongding City. However, Yongding City is a fortified city and it is very difficult to go south. You can decide for yourself whether to attack Yongding City."

    "Even if Yongding City cannot be captured, as long as you block the road from Yongding City to Caoshan Pass and cut off the communication between Caoshan Pass and Yongding City, it will still be effective."

    "For Yongding City, if you want to rush to Cao Shankou's aid, you must break your defense line. This can be regarded as luring the snake out of its hole and letting them come out of the turtle shell to fight."

    Wang Qi talked eloquently and said: "This is just a general plan. How to attack Yongding City and how to cut off the communication between Caoshan Pass and Yongding City. You can think about it yourself after you get to the front line."

    Qin Changyuan's eyes lit up and he praised: "Your Majesty's strategy is really to the point. Caoshan Pass is a tough fight, so there is no need to fight to the death. As long as the penetration is successful, Jin Zaishan will panic by then, and he will naturally withdraw his troops. We will fight through it, and that's it."  It¡¯s easy. Of course, it would be even better if we could capture Yongding City, and the whole situation would change in one fell swoop.¡±

    Nie Feng immediately said: "I accept the order, and I will make arrangements immediately."

    "Go!"

    Wang Qi waved his hand.

    When it comes to this battle, Wang Qi also had some considerations along the way.

    ¡° Previously on the Datong River, it was a test for Xiao Qingzhi and Nie Feng.  But now at Caoshan Pass, he had fully considered it, so he made arrangements directly.

    As for the detour that would delay time, he now has a foothold and does not need to consider time.

    As long as you can win, you can do anything.

    Nie Feng, Xiao Qingzhi and others retreated to arrange the next thing.

    Zhou Zishan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, as long as we break Caoshan Pass, the second news will reach Pyongyang. Ma Fu and others will have the basis for action. Now they have only crossed the Datong River. Although many Goguryeo people have  Fear. But there is still hope in the hearts of these people. Only by taking Caoshan Pass will their remaining hope be completely shattered."

    Wang Qi said: "For the Goguryeo people, Caoshan Pass is a very important line of defense. If we are blocked at Caoshan Pass, the Goguryeo people will think that our victory on the Datong River was just an accidental victory. Breaking Caoshan Pass,  Only when the inner persistence of the Goguryeo people is completely broken will they truly panic. In short, we are not in a hurry, but Goguryeo will become more and more nervous."

    Zhou Zishan nodded, looking very relaxed.

    It is not difficult to destroy Goguryeo.

    On the other side, after Xiao Qingzhi and Nie Feng returned to the front line, they each made some arrangements. In the end, Nie Feng, Gu Tonghu, Lin Yuze and others, led 15,000 troops and horses, and took a detour to prepare for the detour.  Caoshan Pass, and then cross to the direction of Yongding City in the south.

    Xiao Qingzhi¡¯s army continued on its way.

    In less than an hour of the remaining journey, the army had reached Caoshan Pass.

    After the army was stationed, Xiao Qingzhi did not directly attack, but directly deployed mortars one after another, and began bombing from a distance, directly bombing the Goguryeo soldiers on the mountain.

    The roar of cannons resounded throughout the world.

    After the continuous shells washed the ground, the soil rolled and sand fell from the top of the mountain, but the Goguryeo soldiers on the mountain remained the same.  This situation would certainly not be easy to see with the naked eye.

    Relying on the telescope, looking from a distance, one can still clearly see the situation on the mountain. Groups of Goguryeo soldiers appeared again, and they were all still stationed on the mountain.

    It is not easy for the Qi army to pass through Caoshan Pass.

    Xiao Qingzhi did not order a forced breakthrough. During the day, he used artillery shells to clear the ground and bombarded the area. When night fell, he temporarily stopped attacking. After all, at the moment, he did not need to attack urgently. He only needed to wait for Nie Feng to penetrate successfully before attacking again.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The soldiers appeared again, and they were all still stationed on the mountain.
