Chapter 530: Retreat
The guardians at the entrance were astounded. Why had all their meticulously set mechanisms failed in the morning?
Little did they know that Qin Silong was no ordinary commander—he was someone who had experienced rebirth.
In his previous life, following their triumph in the battle, Qin Silong dedicated time to studying the mechanisms erected by their adversaries. He discerned the underlying principles of these contraptions and identified their placement.
Although the mechanisms were positioned on the road, the essential components, such as stones and wood, were situated on the mountain. By sending individuals to the mountain to control those handling the materials, the mechanisms below were rendered useless.
The strategists assumed that the soldiers couldn’t ascend the mountain due to its sheer cliffs, deeming it an impassable barrier.
However, Qin Silong’s rebirth brought unique knowledge. In his previous life, after their victory, he chanced upon information from a local captive regarding a secret passage behind the mountain. This passage led to a steep path from the back of the mountain to its summit, providing an entry point to Three Flowers County from above.
This alternative route negated the need to traverse the entrance.
Nevertheless, the treacherous path posed a significant challenge, making it perilous for ordinary individuals to navigate without risking fatal falls.
