Chapter 158 Crisis
Moreover, Pei Xingjian was well aware of this.
Facing the war god beside him who had successfully cultivated the Jade Kirin Dharma Form.
For both public and private reasons, he should be kept at Longmen Pass.
To put it bluntly...
If the Jade Unicorn War God Ye Sui has truly met with misfortune.
Ye Hua was the last War God in the Nine Heavens Army to cultivate the Jade Kirin Dharma Image.
The Jade Kirin with the Jade Kirin Dharma Image War God Commander is completely different from the Jade Kirin without the Jade Kirin Dharma Image War God Commander.
In other words...
When it comes to military strategy and command, Pei Xingjian believes he is no less capable than Ye Hua.
It might even exceed that.
Even though Pei Xingjian's strength has now surpassed his own, reaching the level of a war god.
Under the same circumstances.
Pei Xingjian and Ye Hua both commanded the Jade Kirin.
Even if the two are of equal strength.
Ye Hua, who possesses the Jade Kirin Dharma Image, could absolutely crush Pei Xingjian's Jade Kirin!
Therefore, at this very moment.
With the fate of Jade Unicorn War God Ye Sui unknown.
Ye Hua absolutely cannot have any more accidents happen to him.
Pei Xingjian was lost in thought, but outwardly showed no sign of distress.
He simply tried his best to comfort Ye Hua.
Tell him to calm down.
...
On the walls of Longmen Pass, a biting wind howled, and battle flags fluttered in the wind. Ye Hua stood by the walls, gazing intently into the distance.
Pei Xingjian stood quietly beside him, his eyes firm, like a majestic mountain, giving people invisible support and strength.
"General, something terrible has happened!"
"Long Junzuo has already subdued all the cities surrounding Xuanwang City, and is now leading the 7 Wenzhou soldiers and tens of thousands of Sparrow King troops he has incorporated, totaling hundreds of thousands of troops."
"In addition, the Daoist army of Dayong Longque is advancing majestically towards Longmen Pass!"
Just as Pei Xingjian was trying his best to comfort Ye Hua, a scout rushed over, his face full of panic.
Wenzhou was on the front line of the battle between the Great Yong and the Great Qian Nine Heavens Army.
One hundred thousand heavy troops of the Dayong Army were stationed within its territory year-round.
They were all excellent soldiers.
With a little integration, it can become a highly effective elite force.
If Wenzhou hadn't been unproductive and had a weak financial situation...
King Xuan, who occupied Wenzhou, could not afford to support so many soldiers.
Otherwise, who knows what the situation would be like in the Great Yong Dynasty now.
Therefore, the Sparrow King, who was adjacent to Wenzhou within Dayong, naturally coveted these 100,000 elite troops.
He made all sorts of plans for Wenzhou.
This made King Xuan willing to submit to the Sparrow King, even to prevent the Nine Heavens Army from causing trouble.
Incidentally, they also used this opportunity to secretly sabotage the Nine Heavens Army.
"What did you say?"
"Dragon Lord Zuo has arrived with a large army?"
Upon hearing this news, Ye Hua, who was at Longmen Pass, suddenly changed his expression.
He turned around abruptly and stared intently at the scout.
"Absolutely true!"
The scout, panting, said, "Their army stretches for dozens of miles, with banners obscuring the sun and dust billowing everywhere. It looks like they've come out in full force, determined to take Longmen Pass in one fell swoop."
Ye Hua's heart sank immediately. He knew that the upcoming battle would be more difficult and brutal than he had anticipated.
Moreover, Long Junzuo has completely integrated the Wenzhou army, and now he has mobilized all of them.
What happened to his father, Ye Sui?
Has Long Junzuo already determined the specific details of his father, Ye Sui?
Ye Hua frowned on the city wall, looking somewhat uneasy.
But thankfully, he's also a person who understands the bigger picture.
Knowing that the situation is critical, this is not the time to let our imaginations run wild.
"Brother Shouyue, what should we do?"
"Long Junzuo has brought a large number of soldiers this time. I'm afraid we can't withstand their attack by ourselves."
Ye Hua turned her head and looked at Pei Xingjian.
As a major force previously stationed in Wenzhou by the Dayong Dynasty, the Wenzhou Army was not only numerous but also highly motivated and well-equipped.
In contrast, although Ye Hua and Pei Xingjian had the advantage of terrain, their military strength was far from sufficient.
Today, only a few thousand soldiers left behind by Ye Sui remain inside Longmen Pass.
In addition, there was the 10,000-strong Nine Heavens Army brought by Li Jinlong and Pei Xingyan.
There was also the Taoist soldier Jade Kirin that Pei Xingjian brought with him.
It's completely incomparable to the lineup of the opposing team, Long Junzuo.
"Long Junzuo is no ordinary enemy. The 7 Wenzhou soldiers and tens of thousands of Sparrow King soldiers he has incorporated, plus the Daoist army of Dayong Longque, are all formidable forces."
"Our garrison at Longmen Pass is not bad, but their numbers are limited. How easy is it to stop them?"
Ye Hua gave a wry smile, referring to his father's old rival.
He had gained some understanding through exposure to what he saw and heard.
Pei Xingjian did not answer immediately. He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
He knew that at this moment, any panic or hesitation could lead to disastrous consequences.
He must remain calm and resolute, leading his troops to meet the challenges to come.
"Poyun, don't worry."
"Although we are outnumbered, Longmen Pass is strategically important and easy to defend, but difficult to attack."
"As long as we can make full use of the terrain's advantages and utilize the power of the Jade Kirin, we will definitely be able to hold Longmen Pass."
Pei Xingjian looked at the dark clouds slowly pressing in from the distance and said in a deep voice.
When the jade unicorn was mentioned, a glint of light flashed in Pei Xingjian's eyes.
Although Ye Sui, the Jade Kirin War God, is no longer here, there is still Ye Hua, who has also cultivated the Jade Kirin Dharma Image.
This force of Daoist soldiers remains the most powerful trump card and weapon in the hands of the Nine Heavens Army.
They were able to rival Long Junzuo's Great Yong Dragon Sparrow Army.
It wouldn't be so bad that Long Junzuo could directly break through the pass by force using the strength of the Dayong Dragon Sparrow Army.
As long as the Jade Kirin can unleash its full potential, it will be enough to make enemies tremble with fear and retreat.
"Pass down the order!"
Pei Xingjian shouted, "All troops, enter Level One combat readiness! Strengthen the defenses of the city walls, and prepare rolling logs, stones, and arrows!"
"Furthermore, have the Jade Kirin stand by at the city wall, ready to attack at any time!"
At Pei Xingjian's command, the entire Longmen Pass immediately sprang into action.
The soldiers of the Nine Heavens Army sprang into action, following orders to strengthen their defenses and prepare for battle.
"General Qi, the enemy is less than ten li away from us!"
Just then, a scout came running and knelt before the two men.
Ye Hua and Pei Xingjian exchanged a glance, a hint of seriousness flashing in their eyes.
They knew that the real test was about to begin.
"Pass down the order: all troops, prepare for battle!"
Pei Xingjian ordered, "Archers, prepare! Fire immediately once the enemy enters range!"
As soon as Pei Xingjian's order was given, the soldiers on Longmen Pass immediately sprang into action.
They checked their weapons and armor, adjusted their formation, and prepared for the upcoming battle.
The atmosphere on the city wall became tense.
Time passed slowly, and the enemy's figure gradually came into view.
They appeared as a dark mass, surging in like a tide.
Their flags fluttered in the wind, and the thunderous roar of their iron cavalry was deafening.
Riding a tall warhorse, clad in armor and wielding a long sword, Long Junzuo led his army forward with imposing grandeur.
