Chapter 361 Fighting
Although the combat effectiveness of some of the troops is still worrying.

But Gu Changqing believes that they will continue to grow and improve in the coming battles.

The combat effectiveness of these defenders may vary, but their joining will undoubtedly add some momentum to Gu Changqing's army.

By the time they approached Minglong Pass, Gu Changqing's men had gathered an army of over 100,000.

Although they came from all directions, under the prestige of Gu Changqing, they were all united under the command of Grand Tutor Gu.

Although Gu Changqing knew very well that the combat effectiveness of this army still needed to be improved.

What they need is time and training, as well as more practical experience.

But for now, they can only make up for the lack of combat power with numbers.

At this time, Gu Changqing already had an army of over 100,000 men, marching in a mighty manner on the road leading to the pass.

At this time, when Minglong Pass was breached, tens of thousands of Daqian troops who withdrew in time also joined Gu Changqing's main force under the leadership of lightning and wind and snow.

The two generals reported to Gu Changqing in detail the situation inside the pass and the dynamics of the Yesha Army.

After learning that Ye Wuhen had invited the previous generation Ye King's brother, a master, to help, Gu Changqing frowned slightly but did not show the slightest fear.

"Grandmaster, our military strength has now reached nearly 200,000, which is almost the same as the Night Evil Army."

"Although our combat effectiveness may still be somewhat lacking, at least we are no less powerful than the other side in terms of momentum."

Jiu Ling stepped forward and reported.

"That's right! Fighting ability can be improved, but momentum cannot be measured by money and material things."

Upon hearing this, Gu Changqing smiled slightly, patted Jiuling on the shoulder and said.

After saying that, he turned and looked at the towering Minglong Pass in the distance and the vast grassland outside the pass.

As the night deepened, Minglong Pass was brightly lit.

Ye Wuhen sat in the main tent, wearing a black robe as dark as ink, his eyes as deep as the sea.

There was a huge military map on the table, and his eyes were fixed on the winding battle lines and passes on the map.

However, when the urgent military report came like a flash, a trace of astonishment flashed across his face.

The news that Daqian Grand Tutor Gu Changqing was leading his troops northward was like a huge rock thrown into a lake, causing ripples.

What was even more shocking was that the detachment from Hengzhou was completely wiped out by an army led by Wei Qing, a little-known new general.

"Report——"

"Report from Hengzhou: our army... was completely wiped out!"

The spies' voices echoed in the tent.

"What did you say? Say it again!"

Ye Wuhen stood up suddenly, his face changed drastically, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Our army... was completely annihilated in Hengzhou..."

the spy repeated in a trembling voice.

Ye Wuhen's face turned pale in an instant, he pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes flashed with disbelief.

What shocked Ye Wuhen even more was that the detachment from Hengzhou was completely wiped out by an army led by a little-known new general named Wei Qing.

"Please ask Ye Yun, Zhao Fengyun and the Dark Demon God of War to come see me immediately!"

He quickly came to his senses and gave the order in a deep voice.

The Underworld Demon God of War is Ye Mohan, which is the name of Ye Wuhen’s uncle.

Soon, three people hurried into the tent.

Ye Yun, dressed in blue, is elegant yet wise; Zhao Fengyun, clad in armor, looks majestic; and Ye Mohan, Ye Wuhen's uncle, has white hair but is still domineering, with a pair of eyes that seem to be able to see through the vicissitudes of time.

"Everyone, the situation has changed."

Ye Wuhen took a deep breath and handed the battle report to the three people.

"The defeat in Hengzhou is of no small importance."

"After this battle, our army's morale will be greatly damaged."

Ye Yun quickly glanced through the battle report, his brows furrowed.

"Moreover, Gu Changqing took the opportunity to come and raise the issue this time, and he must have received the news that our army was completely annihilated in Hengzhou."

"Gu Changqing came in such a hurry this time, obviously he wants to take Minglong Pass in one fell swoop."

Zhao Fengyun slammed his fist on the table. "Gu Changqing... this person is not simple. Since he dared to come, he must have something to rely on."

Ye Mohan looked at the battle report quietly, with a sharp look in his eyes.

"Also, Wuhen, the world is unpredictable, and victory and defeat are common in the military."

"This is not the time to panic. The most urgent task is to discuss countermeasures."

Ye Mohan spoke slowly, his voice mellow and majestic.

He knew that when this descendant of his was fighting against the grassland barbarians in Yuzhou, the grassland barbarians were not united to begin with.

Therefore, although it is not easy, there are indeed few defeats.

And now, just as he was heading south, he was hit hard by that unknown man named Wei Qing.

This made Ye Mohan a little worried that Ye Wuhen would not be able to accept it.

"Uncle is right. Pass the order down, the whole army should be on high alert and prepare for battle!"

However, Ye Mohan's worries were obviously unnecessary. A hint of determination flashed in the eyes of Ye Wuhen, who had been promoted to a saint-level commander.

It's just tens of thousands of troops, he can afford the loss!
Moreover, according to the battle report from the front, his generals Gongsun Yang and Yan Qifeng were not in good condition either, and were on the verge of death.

But at least, with the help of that celestial being's desperate efforts to squeeze out his inner strength, he managed to return safely to Minglong Pass.

As long as high-level talents like Gongsun Yang and Yan Qifeng are still there.

Just tens of thousands of troops, if they are gone, they are gone.

"Yeyun, what do you think about this?"

Ye Wuhen took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and turned to Ye Yun.

"Gu Changqing led his army northwards. His momentum is fierce and should not be underestimated."

"And the defeat in Hengzhou was beyond our expectations."

"But there is no need to worry too much. With Minglong Pass in hand, we only need to hold on to Minglong Pass."

"With the same number of troops, that Grand Master Daqian wanted to rely on that ragtag group of troops to capture Minglong Pass."

"It's just a foolish dream!"

Ye Yun pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.

"Mr. Ye Yun is right, but we must act quickly to avoid being passive."

Zhao Fengyun frowned when he heard this.

"Uncle, what do you think?"

Ye Wuhen nodded and turned his gaze to Ye Mohan.

"there is always a solution to a problem."

"Although Gu Changqing has been invincible for so many years, Minglong Guanjian, who is still under our Night Evil Army, is no pushover."

"The best strategy is to deploy troops and strengthen the city's defenses and respond to ever-changing circumstances with the same strategy."

Ye Mohan smiled slightly, looking calm.

"Okay! I'll follow what you guys said."

"Ye Yun, you must immediately pass down the order to strengthen the defense inside the pass. At the same time, you must immediately send people to the rear and recruit more troops."

After hearing this, Ye Wuhen's expression calmed down a little. He stood up with a determined look.

"Yes!"

Ye Yun bowed and accepted the order, then turned and left in a hurry.

"Zhao Fengyun, you lead the elite troops to strengthen the patrol of the city wall to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Ye Wuhen continued to give orders.

"As ordered!"

Zhao Fengyun clasped his fists in salute and left quickly.

"Uncle, Daqian is coming with such force this time, and there are unexpected changes in Hengzhou. I am worried..."

Ye Wuhen and Ye Mohan were the only ones left in the hall. Ye Wuhen sighed.
