Chapter 162 Crisis

And Pei Xingjian knew it very well.

Facing the war god beside him who has successfully cultivated the Jade Unicorn Dharma Image.

Now, for both public and private reasons, we should keep him in Longmen Pass.

Say something unpleasant.

If the Jade Lin God of War Ye Sui had really met with an accident.

Ye Hua is the last war god of the Jiuxiao Army who has cultivated the Jade Qilin Dharma Image.

The Jade Qilin with the Jade Qilin Dharma-Appearance God of War as its commander and the Jade Qilin without the Jade Qilin Dharma-Appearance God of War as its commander are completely two different levels.

In other words.

When it comes to commanding troops, Pei Xingjian believes he is no less capable than Ye Hua.

It may even exceed that.

But even though Pei Xingjian’s strength has now surpassed his own and reached the level of a god of war.

In the same situation.

Pei Xingjian commands Jade Unicorn and Ye Hua commands Jade Unicorn.

Even if the two have the same combat power.

Ye Hua, who possesses the Jade Unicorn Dharma Image, can definitely pin down the Jade Unicorn commanded by Pei Xingjian and hammer it to the ground!

So, at this moment.

When the life and death of Yulin God of War Ye Sui was uncertain.

Nothing must happen to Ye Hua again.

Pei Xingjian had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he didn't show any abnormality on the surface.

Just try your best to comfort Ye Hua.

Let him be patient.

On the wall of Longmen Pass, the wind was cold and the battle flags were fluttering. Ye Hua stood by the wall, looking into the distance with a serious look.

Pei Xingjian stood quietly beside him with a firm gaze, as if he was a towering mountain, giving people invisible support and strength.

"General, this is bad!"

"Long Junzuo has already conquered all the cities around Xuanwang City. He is now leading the 7 Wenzhou troops and tens of thousands of King Que's troops, a total of hundreds of thousands of troops."

"In addition, there are the Taoist soldiers of Dayong Dragon Bird Army, which are advancing towards Longmen Pass in a mighty manner!"

Just as Pei Xingjian was trying his best to comfort Ye Hua, a scout ran over in a hurry, his face full of panic.

Wenzhou is the first line of battle between Dayong and Daqian Jiuxiao Army.

There are 100,000 Dayong troops stationed in its territory all year round.

They are all excellent soldiers.

With just a little integration, they will become an elite force with good combat effectiveness.

If Wenzhou had not been unproductive, its finances would have been weak.

King Xuan, who occupied Wenzhou, could not even afford to support so many soldiers.

Otherwise, we don’t know what the current situation in Dayong is.

Therefore, King Que, who was adjacent to Wenzhou in Dayong, naturally coveted these 100,000 elite troops.

He made all kinds of plans for Wenzhou.

This made King Xuan willing to submit to King Que, even for fear that the Jiuxiao Army would disrupt the situation.

By the way, he also used this opportunity to secretly attack the Jiuxiao Army.

"What did you say?"

"Long Junzuo is coming with a large army?"

At this time, Ye Hua, who was at Longmen Pass, heard the news and his expression suddenly changed.

He turned around abruptly and stared at the scout.

"Absolutely true!"

The scout panted and said, "Their team is dozens of miles long, with flags blocking the sky and dust flying everywhere. It looks like they are out in full force and are determined to take Longmen Pass in one fell swoop."

Ye Hua's heart sank suddenly. He knew that the upcoming battle would be more difficult and cruel than expected.

Moreover, Long Junzuo has completely integrated the Wenzhou Army, and now they are coming out in full force.

So what about his father Ye Sui?

Could it be that Long Junzuo has already determined the specific situation of his father Ye Sui?

On the city wall, Ye Hua frowned, feeling somewhat uneasy. But fortunately, he was also a man of common sense.

Knowing that the current situation is critical, it is not the time to have wild thoughts.

"Brother Shouyue, what should we do?"

"Long Junzuo has brought many soldiers with him this time. I'm afraid we won't be able to resist their attack on our own."

Ye Hua turned around and looked at Pei Xingjian.

As the heavy troops stationed in Wenzhou by the Yong Dynasty court, the Wenzhou Army is not only large in number, but also highly motivated and well-equipped.

In comparison, although Ye Hua and Pei Xingjian had the advantage of geographical location, their military strength was far from enough.

Now there are only a few thousand soldiers left by Ye Sui in Longmen Pass.

The other is the 10,000-strong Jiuxiao Army brought by Li Jinlong and Pei Xingyan.

There is also the Taoist soldier Yu Qilin that Pei Xingjian brought with him.

It is completely incomparable with the lineup of the opposing Long Junzuo.

"Long Junzuo is not an ordinary enemy. He has recruited 7 Wenzhou troops and tens of thousands of King Que troops, plus the Taoist Dayong Dragon and Sparrow Army. The strength of these armies should not be underestimated."

"Although our garrison at Longmen Pass is not bad, our numbers are limited after all. How easy is it to stop them?"

Ye Hua smiled bitterly at his father's old rival.

He has a certain understanding of it after being influenced by it.

Pei Xingjian did not answer immediately. He took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.

He knew that any panic and hesitation at this time could lead to disastrous consequences.

He must remain calm and resolute and lead his soldiers to meet the upcoming challenges.

"Poyun, don't worry for now."

"Although we are short of troops, Longmen Pass is strategically located and is easy to defend but difficult to attack."

"As long as we can fully utilize the advantages of the terrain and use the power of Jade Unicorn, we will be able to hold Longmen Pass."

Pei Xingjian looked at the black clouds slowly approaching from a distance and said in a deep voice.

Speaking of Yu Qilin, a gleam of light flashed in Pei Xingjian's eyes.

Although the Jade Unicorn God of War Ye Sui is no longer with us, there is still Ye Hua who has also cultivated the Jade Unicorn Dharma Image.

This group of Taoist soldiers is still the most powerful trump card and killing weapon in the hands of the Jiuxiao Army.

Able to compete with Long Junzuo's Dayong Dragon Bird Army.

It would not be possible for Long Junzuo to break through the pass by force with the strength of the Dayong Dragon Sparrow Army.

As long as the Jade Unicorn's true strength can be brought into play, it will be enough to scare the enemy away and make them retreat.

"Send the order!"

Pei Xingjian shouted, "The entire army is on first-level combat readiness! Strengthen the defense of the city walls, and prepare rolling logs, rocks, and bows and arrows!"

"Also, have Yu Qilin stand by under the city wall and be ready to attack at any time!"

Following Pei Xingjian's order, the entire Longmen Pass suddenly became busy.

The soldiers of the Jiuxiao Army took action one after another, strengthening their defense and preparing for battle according to orders.

"General, the enemy is less than ten miles away from us!"

Just then, a scout came running over and knelt in front of the two men.

Ye Hua and Pei Xingjian looked at each other, and a hint of solemnity flashed in their eyes.

They knew that the real test was coming.

"Pass the order down, all troops on alert!"

Pei Xingjian ordered, "Archers, prepare! Once the enemy is within range, shoot immediately!"

As Pei Xingjian's order was passed down, the soldiers at Longmen Pass immediately took action.

Checking his weapons and armor, adjusting his formation, and preparing for the upcoming battle.

On the city wall, the atmosphere became tense.

As time passed, the enemy gradually appeared in sight.

I saw them as a black mass, coming like a tide.

Their flags fluttered in the wind, and the sound of their galloping cavalry was as deafening as thunder.

Long Junzuo rode on a tall warhorse, wearing armor and holding a long sword, leading the army forward majestically.
