Special War God

Lang Zhengfeng explained: "If we just flee for survival, when our resources are exhausted, we will randomly harass some weak sects. When General Wen is defeated and retreats to the Khanate, the Bai Kingdom will be free to deal with us with all its strength. Even if we are good at escaping, we will only be doomed to survive.

With this arrangement, we have made a great contribution to General Wen, and our chances of winning have greatly increased. The next step is to go to the Khanate battlefield to intervene in the war. If we can also make the Khanate win, then the situation in the entire Bai Kingdom will change dramatically, and we will completely turn the tide and wait for greater gains in the future.

I really want to ask that kid, have you calculated in advance what kind of benefits we will get in the future?"

Xia Zhongnan replied modestly: "The path of cultivation requires careful planning, so how can one aim too high and presume to predict the future?"

Lang Zhengfeng patted his belly and laughed loudly, "How can I believe your lies when you tell them so seriously?"

Xia Zhongnan continued, "The world is ever-changing, how can everything go as planned? Although I have tried my best to plan and calculate, it is still not as unpredictable as God's will. I can only try my best to grasp the chips in my hand and fight every battle well. When I set up an ambush against Kou Zhanyong in Feiyuejian, although I had planned it in advance, I did not expect that he had already been promoted to the realm of returning to the void. If Lang Shuai had not arrived at the critical moment, we might have suffered heavy losses under Kou Zhanyong's personal action."

Lang Zhengfeng agreed: "Indeed, in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery seems pale and powerless. Therefore, we are all concentrating on practicing and improving our own cultivation, and few people are proficient in the art of strategizing.

However, if one does not have enough strength and does not think carefully, even survival becomes a problem, let alone strengthening oneself.

Young man, I value you. As long as you continue to move forward along this path, one day you will reach the pinnacle of the cultivation world!"

This statement was quite meaningful. Xia Zhongnan was still trying to understand the profound meaning behind it when Xu Qian couldn't wait to ask, "Senior, do you think Xia Zhongnan can go far in this path of cultivation?"

Lang Zhengfeng did not respond directly, but instead sighed with emotion: "I used to wonder how Xu Dejing could have such a foolish niece, but now I envy him for having such a smart daughter!"

The Thirteenth Cultivation Legion arrived at the border area between the Khanate and the Bai Kingdom and found a secluded valley to hide their troops. Liu Dabazi was in charge of the military camp, while Xia Zhongnan, together with Lang Zhengfeng and Xu Qian, were investigating the situation in the surrounding area.

With the company of a high-level cultivator like Lang Zhengfeng, and Xia Zhongnan's experienced planning, this combination can be regarded as the best among enemy scouts.

Although the White Kingdom had a million soldiers, most of them were infantry, and the cavalry was no more than 100,000. They held their positions and implemented a comprehensive defense strategy of clearing the countryside, intending to wear down the Khanate's 500,000 elite cavalry.

The Khanate cavalry could only wreak havoc and plunder on the vast plains, and were helpless in the face of the heavily guarded fortresses of the White Army.

The White Kingdom's strategy of clearing the countryside was indeed effective, and the Khanate's army was able to plunder very few supplies.

The 500,000-strong army consumes huge amounts of energy every day. The prairie where they live is not fertile, and they did not bring enough food and supplies. Their original plan was to plunder resources along the way and attack the heartland of the White Kingdom, but now they are blocked halfway and are caught in a dilemma.

After Xia Zhongnan carefully observed this area, his expression became particularly solemn.

The several fortresses of the Bai Kingdom were so impregnable that even the Khanate's 500,000 cavalry could not shake them. What's more, they only had 10,000 cavalry. What could they do?

On the third day after arriving here, the Khanate cavalry once again launched an attack on a fortress called Beiming Pass.

There are high mountains on both sides of Beiming Pass, which are difficult for ordinary horses to cross. There is only a passage about two miles wide between the two mountains, connecting the hinterland of Bai State with the northern territory.

The Bai Kingdom had already built a magnificent pass here - Beiming Pass, which was a vital throat passage between the Bai inland and the northern border.

Local people are accustomed to calling Beiming Pass "Sad Pass" because the northern region was often invaded and looted by the Khanate cavalry, and the area north of Beiming Pass was often filled with grief.

Today, the entire northern territory of the White Kingdom has been controlled by the Khanate, and it only relies on a few fortresses to block the Khanate cavalry. Once the pass is lost, the Khanate cavalry will pour into the interior of the White Kingdom to plunder supplies, which will put the White Kingdom in great trouble.

More than 200,000 Bai Kingdom cavalry gathered two miles outside Beiming Pass, which was a perfect distance for the cavalry to launch a charge.

Following an order from a general of the Khanate, a cavalry force of 10,000 people galloped out and headed straight for Beiming Pass.

When they were still more than a thousand steps away, the catapults on the top of Beiming Pass began to operate, and smooth stone pillars weighing hundreds of pounds were shot out like cannonballs.

The cavalrymen or horses hit by the stone pillars died instantly, but the kinetic energy of the stone pillars was not weakened at all, and they continued to roll forward at high speed...

Some of the thunder horses in the rear that had no time to dodge crashed into such spiritual stone obstacles and were also thrown to the ground. Such power was certainly greater than the thunder mortar fire in the mortal world.

The cavalry that were not hit by the flying stones rushed to a distance of fifty feet and began to collectively pour arrows onto the city wall.

A large number of magic arrows were also prepared on the city walls for counterattack. In an instant, the air was filled with arrows like a waterfall, like a torrent of arrows descending from the sky.

In one charge, thousands of the Khanate's cavalry were killed, and more than a hundred White Kingdom monks were shot down by the cavalry's arrows on the city wall.

When the 10,000 cavalrymen galloped to within 20 feet of the city wall, they did not continue to charge, but turned to the sides and retreated. At this moment, a new round of 10,000 cavalrymen approached within 100 feet. In just a few breaths, another wave of dense arrow rain came and covered the city wall.

The guarding monks on the White Kingdom's city wall fought back bravely under the rain of arrows. No one cared about the casualties or the dead. They did not dare to relax for a moment.

When the third wave of cavalry charged and there were practitioners carrying ladders, the counterattack on the city wall was not as fierce as the initial one, giving the ladder troops a chance to get close to the city wall.

On the north side of Beiming Pass, a city wall was built that was 20 to 30 feet high and soared into the clouds. Even cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage could not reach such a height in one leap and had to rely on external forces to climb up. For ordinary soldiers, they could only rely on ladders to climb up.

After the ladders were set up, the most brutal close combat began. However, the Khanate's cavalry still followed the previous tactics and continued to charge. Arrows rained down on the top of the city wall. Some cavalry who were about to climb the city wall were even accidentally pierced through the back by their own arrows. The cavalry archers turned a blind eye to this. Their mission was to suppress the White Kingdom defenders on the city wall with rain of arrows.

In these repeated battles, both sides suffered casualties every moment, some were injured, and some lost their lives, but this battle was like a giant ship that had already started and could not be stopped. Both sides had no choice but to continuously invest more troops and turn more soldiers into cold corpses.

After paying a huge price, the Khanate cavalry finally climbed up to the city wall and engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand fight with the White Kingdom soldiers on the city wall.

Fierce fighting broke out everywhere on the two-mile-long city wall.
