Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Hu Lan fainted.

Ding Ding Deng

The chaotic sound of horse hooves rang out, raising endless dust in the dark night.

The Nanman army fled in panic and quickly collapsed.

Chang Baishan wanted to chase, but at this time he saw a fire in the distance.

"Your Highness, Liu Chuang is here."

Qin Ming stood in the crowd and took out a telescope to look around.

After confirming that it was Liu Chuang, he nodded slowly and said:

"No need to chase anymore, just meet up with Liu Chuang and see what's going on over there."

When Qin Ming was setting off the fireworks just now, he noticed that Liu Chuang also sent a request for fireworks support.

"Old Liu, didn't you say that with only 3,000 people, even if the gods came, we wouldn't need support?"

As soon as he saw Liu Chuang approaching, Qin Ming started to tease him.

Liu Chuang was stunned for a moment.

"Your Highness, when did I say support?"

He quickly reacted and grabbed the collar of the soldier next to him.

"What the hell are you sending a support signal for?"

"You're embarrassing me, aren't you?"

The soldier who was dragged hurriedly explained:

"No, no, General... I sent a signal that I had spotted the enemy and was engaging them, so I could provide support."

"Being able to provide support is different from requesting support!"

After combining the fireworks Qin Ming gave them, they could send out several levels of distress signals.

What Liu Chuang had just sent out was indeed a harmless and low-level request for help.

After hearing a long explanation from his soldiers, Liu Chuang finally let go of his hand.

Then he came to Qin Ming with a proud look on his face:

"Your Highness, guess who we caught?"

"Touch."

Qin Ming gave the other person's name without thinking.

Because Cao Chuan is now guarding the border, Qin Ming knows a lot of information about the enemy.

"Oh, that's boring."

Liu Chuang sighed and was speechless.

Chang Baishan said:

"Now that a group of soldiers have been defeated, we must deal with them as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect the Wuwei Camp in the rear."

Liu Chuang also nodded.

"Okay, let's go support Lao Cao. I don't know if that guy is still alive."

Qin understood him and said:

"Crow Mouth, what if you really die?"

"It's alright. Anyway, I know his hometown. At worst, I can help him take care of his parents in their old age."

As he spoke, Liu Chuang pulled out a piece of parchment from the gap in his armor on his chest.

It records the hometowns of several good friends.

This was what they had agreed upon before; if one of them died, the rest would be handed over to the other brothers.

Looking at the old parchment, Qin Ming was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said:

"When this battle is over, let me make a copy when I get back."

"it is good!"

"Let's go and support Cao Chuan."

Qin Ming waved his hand and prepared to lead his soldiers to Ningming Pass.

Liu Chuang and the other man were a little confused.

"Shouldn't we clean up those remaining defeated troops first?"

"If we let them go, it will likely affect the production of our workshop."

Qin Ming shook his head.

"Xiaoyue is in the camp."

Chang Baishan and Liu Chuang both froze.

Then he understood Qin Ming's arrangement.

It turned out that Qin Ming had already anticipated the possibility that Liu Chuang would not be able to completely eliminate the enemy and would be entangled.

So in this extremely risky war, he made several preparations.

"It still has to be Your Highness."

Chang Baishan gave a thumbs-up, turned around and told the soldiers to prepare to leave.

Liu Chuang has always treated Guan Yue as a child, and when he heard that Qin Ming was going to give her the task of defending the remaining soldiers, he was shocked.

Suddenly I didn't believe the knife:

"Your Highness, how can things be done like this? Although Xiaoyue is capable, but..."

"But what? I believe her."

Liu Chuang thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with a reason.

He could only sigh and turn around to lead his troops out.

Two days later, Qin Ming appeared inside Ningming Pass with them.

Looking at the cracked city wall, Qin Ming frowned and said:

"How many people are there on the other side?"

Cao Chuan, who walked down from the city wall, said:

"There are still at least 20,000 people. I haven't left the city yet, so I can't waste too many."

Huiming is also a very stable general, and their army has not suffered too many losses so far.

Especially a few days ago, when Cao Chuan started to take out the crossbow.

Huiming started using the catapult, hitting the city wall of Caochuan whenever he had the chance.

Strive to achieve long-term harassment.

Because he knew that sooner or later the city wall would no longer be able to withstand the pressure.

"Reinforce it."

"Reinforcement? That will take a long time, and we don't have the time right now."

Cao Chuan shook his head and immediately rejected Qin Ming's proposal.

Reinforcing the city wall is a major project that requires a lot of materials.

"It's okay, just wait for the workshop to deliver the materials."

Qin Ming used a type of cement they had never seen before.

Cement can be made by adding lime, sand and iron filings.

Qin Ming calculated the time and found that it would take three weeks for the cement to completely harden.

But it only takes about three days to harden most of the wall. As long as they use cement to reinforce the wall, the wall can become indestructible again.

After informing a few people about the cement plan, Cao Chuan and his companions were all extremely surprised.

"How long will it take?"

Qin Ming looked towards the surrounding city walls and said:

"It will take about five days, two days to pour the wall, and three days to wait for it to dry."

"Six days, then."

Liu Chuang rubbed his hands and prepared to go out and fight in person.

Just hold out for six days to give Qin Ming space and time to reinforce the city walls.

After the cement dries, the gray inside cannot be broken, at least at this stage.

Even if they had catapults, it would be useless.

"Who's going?"

Qin Ming glanced at several people.

"I'll go."

Just as Liu Chuang was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

Everyone turned around and saw Wu Qingye squatting behind them.

"You guys have all made great contributions, so I'm the only one who's doing business with Master Fang. My hands are itching to do it."

"But your soldiers are not fit to fight this battle. Let me do it."

Liu Chuang quickly stopped him.

Originally, Wu Qingye's army launched surprise attacks on the battlefield and was very flexible and mobile.

He is also a general who is good at surprise attacks.

But the restraint these days is different.

If Huiming saw Qin Ming reinforcing the city walls, he would definitely launch a large-scale attack and not give Qin Ming any chance.

At that time, Liu Chuang will have no choice but to take his men out to fight them head-on, and the casualties will inevitably be very high.

But Wu Qingye waved his hand at this time.

"I've already figured out how to deal with them, and I'll show you tonight."

"Don't even mention five or six days, even ten days would be a breeze."

As he spoke, he picked up a branch and drew a few lines on the ground.

Qin Ming and Cao Chuan both recognized that this was the terrain outside the Nanming Pass.

"What are you going to do?"

Qin Ming suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility.

Wu Qingye said calmly:

"Your Highness, I want to go into the mountains and attack Huanglong just like Tuqi and the others."

"These past few days... I haven't been idle. I've already figured out the way into the mountains!"
