Chapter 359: Visitors from Yuzhou
As the army marched, flags fluttered and the cavalry were as fast as dragons.

Wei Qing rode on his war horse, majestic and solemn.

He knew very well that the next battle would be even more intense.

When the army arrived at the first strategic location occupied by the Night Evil Army, Wei Qing did not rush to attack, but first sent envoys to persuade them to surrender.

War is not the best way to solve problems. The best option is to recover lost territory peacefully.

The messenger returned with good news that the remaining Night Evil Army defenders were willing to surrender to the imperial court.

There was no way, even the main force of this detachment of the Yesha Army was defeated in one battle.

Commander Yan Qifeng is missing and General Gongsun Yang is seriously injured and dying.

What can these defenders left behind do?

I can only obey.

Wei Qing was overjoyed when he heard this. He went to receive the surrendered troops in person and comforted and arranged for them properly.

In the following days, Wei Qing led the army northward and recaptured one strategic location and granary after another that were occupied by the Night Evil Army.

Entering Zhushan County, the northernmost part of Hengzhou, we gradually approached the northern border of Hengzhou.

That is the border area that is only a thin line away from Minglong Pass and Yuzhou.

"General, Minglong Pass is ahead."

A scout returned from reconnaissance.

"Minglong Pass is destined to be a battlefield of swords and sabers."

Wei Qing muttered to himself, looking into the distance, where the main force of the Night Evil Army was located, and where Daqian, Ye Wang and many other forces were about to have a decisive battle.

The army set up camp at the border of Zhushan County. Wei Qing stood alone outside the tent, staring at the pass faintly emerging in the distance.

As the night deepened, the moonlight shone on his armor, flashing a cold light.

"The name of Yulin will spread far and wide here!"

Wei Qing whispered to himself, his voice revealing endless determination and fighting spirit.

The next morning, Wei Qing summoned all his generals to discuss strategies to defeat the enemy.

"This level is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and Ye Wuhen is no ordinary man, so we won't be in a hurry for now."

He pointed to Minglong Pass on the map.

Now Gu Changqing, who was urgently transferred to the north by Daqian, is leading Jiuling and many other main forces of Daqian to the north.

They are the main force in the decisive battle with the Night Fury Army.

Wei Qing and his men were not from Daqian, so naturally they would not rush up to serve as cannon fodder.

All the generals nodded in agreement.

Wei Qing then deployed troops and adjusted tactics, and everything went on in an orderly manner.

Just waiting for Gu Changqing's army to arrive north!

As the night deepened, the lights at Minglong Pass were brightly lit, like a giant dragon winding around in Hengzhou.

Outside the closed door, Night King Ye Wuhen stood with his hands behind his back, his figure looking particularly tall and straight under the light.

As if waiting for some important guest.

Wearing a black battle armor, it flashed a cold light in the night, like a cheetah in the dark night, ready to strike.

The soldiers of the Night Evil Army inside the pass were on full alert, yet politely lined up on both sides, demonstrating the majesty and discipline of the Night Evil Army.

Soon after, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from afar, breaking the silence of the night.

Ye Wuhen fixed his gaze and looked into the distance, only to see a team of cavalry in black armor galloping towards them in the moonlight, like a black storm, sweeping up the dust on the earth.

Leading the group was an old man with white hair and beard. He looked energetic, with sharp eyes. His black cloak fluttered in the wind, making him look like a ghost in the night.

This old man was none other than Ye Wuhen's uncle, the brother of the previous generation's Ye King, and also the third-ranked master on the previous generation's World Ranking!

"Uncle, you are here."

Ye Wuhen stepped forward, bowed deeply, and said.

The old man pulled the reins of the horse and stopped steadily in front of Ye Wuhen.

"Wuhen, you did a great job." "After not seeing you for many years, you have grown into a hero, worthy of the name of the Night King."

He looked at Ye Wuhen, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and he spoke slowly.

"Uncle, you are too kind. I invited you here because I have something important to discuss with you."

Ye Wuhen smiled slightly and said.

"When your father entrusted you to me, I knew you were not an ordinary person."

"Now it seems that you have lived up to his expectations."

The old man laughed, dismounted, patted Ye Wuhen on the shoulder and said.

"Uncle's kindness will be engraved in my heart."

"I asked you to come out of retirement this time because the situation forced me to do so."

Ye Wuhen sighed.

"I already know. The imperial court's march north this time is of great significance."

"Gu Changqing is a man of extraordinary strategy and military prowess. What's more, he is very popular among his soldiers. To defeat him, one must be both wise and brave."

The old man nodded, his expression became serious, and he said.

"That's right. Now, under Grand Tutor Gu's command, there are many brave generals, and there are new recruits like Jiu Ling."

"Therefore, I would like to ask uncle to come out and help Wuhen."

Ye Wuhen took a deep breath and said.

"I have retired from the martial arts world for many years and do not want to get involved in military affairs anymore."

"But the imperial court is coming at me with such force this time. If I sit back and do nothing, wouldn't that be a letdown for everyone in Yuzhou?"

The old man laughed out loud when he heard this.

"Uncle, are you willing to come out and help?"

Ye Wuhen's eyes flickered with anticipation and anxiety.

"Although I am old, I am still able to eat! I came here to help you this time!"

Hearing this, the old man smiled slightly and nodded.

Ye Wuhen was overjoyed when he heard this, and the heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

He was well aware of his uncle's prestige and ability in the Night Fury Army.

With his help, the morale of the Night Fury Army will surely be greatly boosted this time.

The old man turned around and glanced at the black-armored cavalrymen behind him with a sharp gaze.

This cavalry is the most elite and one of the most mysterious troops in the Night Evil Army - the Youyun Iron Cavalry.

The Youyun Iron Cavalry is one of the three major cavalry units of the Yesha Army. Like the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry of Qizhou, they are the most powerful cavalry in the world, only one step away from being Taoist soldiers.

It is renowned for its superior maneuverability, powerful impact and unparalleled loyalty.

This army is composed of warriors from the grassland and orphans from the battlefield. They have been tempered in harsh environments, and each of them is a fighter picked from hundreds.

The armor on his body is dark black, like a ghost in the clouds, hence the name.

"Boys!"

The old man's voice was loud and passionate, "Since our establishment, our Night Evil Army has been invincible in the northern border!"

"The Youyun Iron Cavalry is the sharp sword in our hands, and it beat the grassland barbarians so hard that they fled in panic!"

"Now that the imperial army is invading, how can we retreat? Follow me and conquer the world!"

The soldiers of the Youyun Iron Cavalry shouted in unison, their voices shaking the sky.

Their eyes sparkled with desire for battle and confidence in victory.

This cavalry unit has achieved brilliant results in many battles.

They once raided the enemy camp on a snowy night and wiped out the enemy in one fell swoop; they also engaged in a chase battle with the enemy on the grassland, using their excellent mobility to play with the enemy at their fingertips.
