Under the Rat King Peak, nearly six thousand Dongshan Army banners were fluttering, and the barriers were tight. The Dongshan Army's armors were all well-trained and well-trained.

In the three passes of Rat King Peak, there are also silhouettes of people flickering, but the expressions of these figures seem to lack something, the courage to fight to the death.

Because the Rat King had already asked for seven young men from various villages in advance, plus the three men who were originally left behind.

The defensive strength of Rat King Peak is actually not lacking, there are ten thousand people, twice the number of Dongshan Army.

However, the huge number of people did not bring a sense of security to the Rat King on the pass. Xiao Li was able to defeat the Seven Villages in such a short period of time, which made him frightened.

You must know that he tried this countless times in the months after destroying Niuwang Village, but all ended in failure.

After careful consideration, he had no choice but to accept the fact that the other seven villages would continue to exist.

The Rat King was first the leader of the three villages standing in Xiao Li's military formation in the distance, his face full of anger.

"These two-faced people actually dare to betray me, and I will wait for them. Sooner or later, their lives will be worse than death!"

Xiao Li, who was riding a small iron, had slowly arrived at the bottom of the pass. He happened to hear what the Rat King said and chuckled.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I don't intend to give you another chance to escape, so as long as they don't betray me, they should all be alive."

The Rat King snorted coldly and said:

"I really underestimated you, Your Excellency. I didn't expect you to actually chase me here and capture the seven strongholds in such a short period of time!"

"It's just that I'm very curious. Over the years, Beiliang Kingdom has tried to attack me in Wangyou Valley many times."

"It's a pity that not only could I not find the correct road, but I also suffered heavy losses from wandering around in the ancient rock mountains!"

"You are just your first contact with us. How on earth did you find the right path in the dangerous Ancient Rock Mountains and then arrive at the Valley of Forgotten Worry unscathed?"

Xiao Li smiled softly.

"This is all thanks to Mr. Su whom you left behind. You may not know that Mr. Su has a photographic memory."

"Remembering the path you have traveled is undoubtedly a piece of cake."

"As for how this king captured the seven strongholds so quickly, I believe you already know it very clearly!"

The Rat King's wretched face became even more gloomy, and he said in a solemn tone:

"Su Ganmo and Wen Jiu, these two traitors, I should have killed them both before leaving."

Xiao Li laughed loudly.

"Your Excellency was joking. At that time, Your Excellency was like a lost dog. There was no chance of killing Mr. Su."

"Besides, you have 30,000 people in your hands, and I have captured nearly 20,000. There are always a few people who can remember the road."

The Rat King knew that what Xiao Li said was true, so he did not refute, but continued with a cold snort:

"Hmph, I have been running this Shuwang Village for who knows how many years. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is impregnable. I want to see how you, the King of Dongshan, can defeat it?"

After saying this, the Rat King felt really uncomfortable, so he turned and left, leaving the blind man staring at the pass.

Seeing that the Rat King had left, Xiao Li turned around and looked at his surroundings. There were cliffs on both sides of the pass.

Only the middle position allows two people to pass in parallel, making it absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In this situation, you must not attack by force. First of all, you may not be able to defeat it. Even if you do, you will definitely suffer heavy losses.

So he turned around and left like the Rat King, planning to go back and discuss it with everyone before making a decision.

At night, a group of high-level officials gathered in Xiao Li's military tent, including the three village owners who had surrendered.

Xiao Li asked his own question.

"This Rat King Peak is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we attack by force, we will suffer heavy casualties. I wonder if you have any good strategies?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. Everyone has seen the terrain of Rat King Peak today, and there is really no good way.

Then, everyone's eyes turned to Wen Jiu. After all, he was the only one who had stayed on the Rat King Peak, so he might not necessarily know some of its weaknesses.

Wen Jiu quickly smiled wryly and waved his hand.

"You all really think highly of me. These passes were built under the supervision of the Rat King himself."

"In the past, I only felt that with these passes, Rat King Peak would be safe. I didn't expect that I would become an attacker today."

"But the general can try to lead a force to attack tomorrow and test the strength of the pass before making a decision!"

Everyone nodded. It seemed that this was the only way of thinking at the moment. The steep pass was not something that could be conquered by manpower.

Xiao Li looked at Mo Niang again. As the general of Zhuque Town, she also had a strong say.

"Mo Niang, do you have any ideas?"

Mo Niang thought for a moment and replied:

"The general doesn't have any special ideas. He just thinks that he can gather the experts among the generals and catch the defenders on the pass by surprise. Maybe the pass can be broken."

Obviously, this idea was stronger than Wen Jiu's idea, and everyone kept nodding.

But Xiao Li noticed that Su Qianmo had been silent all this time. A person who could help the Rat King Village destroy its old enemy in just a few months would not be without ideas.

So he asked in a respectful tone:

"I wonder if you have any good ideas, sir?"

Su Qianmo then opened his eyes and spoke calmly, as if he was sure of everything.

"I have three options for Your Highness to choose from: the upper, middle and lower levels!"

No one could do anything, but Su Qianmo had three strategies: upper, middle and lower. Xiao Li suddenly became interested.

"Please sir, teach me!"

Su Ganmo returned the greeting and then continued:

"The next best option is to attack by force, but not from the front. Although the remaining three sides of Rat King Peak are steep, they are not without any climbing areas."

"Ordinary soldiers and even third-rate masters can't do it. Second-rate masters will probably only be able to climb halfway before they run out of energy."

"But that day, I saw that the prince's physical skills were amazing, and he himself is a third-level practitioner with abundant energy. It shouldn't be difficult to climb to the top of Rat King Peak!"

Xiao Li thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case, so he nodded.

Seeing this, Su Qianmo continued:

"So my next strategy is for Your Highness to carry the rope and climb directly up the rock, bypassing three passes, and reach the top of the mountain."

"Every time you reach a place where you can rest temporarily, put down the rope, and the other soldiers will climb up along the rope!"

Everyone was amazed on the spot. Everyone was thinking about how to break through the barrier, but no one thought that it could be bypassed.

However, Su Ganmo seemed dissatisfied with the next move. He shook his head and continued:

"However, this strategy not only requires the prince to personally take risks, but also risks being discovered at any time. It is not a good strategy."

Xiao Li touched his beardless chin and asked:

"What about Zhongce?"

Su Qianmo heard this and continued:

"The middle strategy is to attack with fire."

"Although Rat King Peak is difficult to climb, there are many trees before the pass, and most of the materials used for the pass are wood."

"If you let the army pretend to attack, take the opportunity to place flammable materials in front of the pass."

"All it takes is a big fire. If the first pass is destroyed, at least part of it can collapse."

Xiao Li nodded, this is a good idea. Only Wen Jiu said with a little hesitation:

"As a result, the mountain brothers guarding the pass will suffer heavy casualties. I'm afraid not a few of them will survive."

Su Ganmo nodded.

"That's why I say he is the middle strategist, because the killing is too heavy and will harm Tianhe!"

Next, everyone began to listen attentively to Su Ganmo's suggestion.

Su Ganmo paused for a moment before continuing:

"As the saying goes, attacking the city is the priority, and attacking the heart is the priority. No matter how strong the city pass is, it still needs people to garrison it."

"Although the Rat King still has nearly ten thousand men under his command, most of them are young men who have just been acquired from various villages."

"Now that the seven strongholds are all in the hands of the prince, as long as their relatives and friends bring them some words, the prince will use his bow and crossbow to shoot into the passes."

"The defenders of Rat King Village are already unsettled. If this happens, many people should choose to surrender!"

"When the time comes, the inside should be coordinated with the outside, and all the passes on the Rat King Peak will not be a concern!"

Xiao Li laughed loudly when he heard this.

"This king, Mr. Su, alone is better than an army of ten thousand horses!"

Su Ganmo just smiled softly.

"These are my three strategies. How to choose is up to the prince to decide!"

Xiao Li laughed, and then ordered:

"I have decided to choose the best and worst strategies at the same time. The best strategy will be left to Wen Jiu and the leader of Mazhai to jointly take responsibility for!"

"Tomorrow we will list the young men and women from all the major villages who have been asked by the Rat King, and then shoot the family letters into the pass."

"As for the next step, I leave it to Mo Niang to find the courage to die in the shortest possible time and prepare enough ropes for climbing."
