Chapter 11: The Plot of the Poisoner_1
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...
The next day, as dawn was breaking, Qin Wudao led his massive army toward Anyi Pass. The drums of war echoed for dozens of miles, sounding the horn of attack.
1,300,000 Qin soldiers, lined up neatly, gazed at Qin Wudao with faces alight with fanaticism. To them, it was an honor to follow such an enlightened lord.
Everyone vowed to seize Anyi Pass and tear a breach in the defensive line of the Six Kingdoms.
"Attack!"
At a distance of just three hundred zhang from Anyi Pass, Qin Wudao halted, drew his ceremonial sword, and roared the command.
No sooner had his words faded than eighteen figures darted out, each crowned by an image of a luminous moon. In a blink, they appeared a hundred zhang away, emitting an overwhelming aura that, in the void, coalesced into Blade Qi potent enough to tear everything apart.
The elite vanguard struck; the main army began its assault on the city!
This was the strategy Qin Wudao and Jia Xu had devised. Of course, this was merely the first step of their plan, intended primarily to draw the Wei Army’s attention, not the decisive, killing blow.
"Relay my orders! We are to focus on defense. No one is to leave the Pass without my explicit command!"
