Special War God

Chapter 70: Battle to Break Through

Marshal Baru knew this very well, but he still expected Xia Zhongnan to explain it in person.

Now that Lang Zhengfeng had taken the initiative to visit him, he should explain these matters to her one by one.

Xia Zhongnan observed the commander's words and expressions and realized that Marshal Baru was moved, so he took the opportunity to finalize the specific matters of cooperation between the two parties in one go, especially the details of coordination in terms of the allocation of cultivation resources and the deployment of formations.

The day after Xia Zhongnan and his party left, the Khanate cavalry quietly withdrew to their homeland.

The important town of Beiming Pass is commanded by Xiao Yunhe, the commander of the Baiyun Empire. He is also guarded by Qu Ziyang, the leader of the Tianmo Sect, a cultivation force of the Baiyun Empire, and Wanqi Yuandi, the leader of the Qianlong Palace.

The Khanate's cavalry posed a huge threat to the Baiyun Empire. For this reason, Bai Zhige had already dispatched forces from various cultivation sects under his command to support Beiming Pass.

Inside the pass, Qu Ziyang laughed out loud: "General Xiao really predicted that the Khanate cavalry would retreat within three days. Sure enough, they retreated in a panic the next day!"

Xiao Yunhe responded calmly: "The people of the Khanate are cunning and changeable. We cannot take it lightly. Pass the order down to strengthen reconnaissance and pay close attention to their movements."

Emperor Wanqi Yuan said, "General Xiao, since the Khanate has withdrawn its troops, I still have many important matters to attend to in Qianlong Palace. It is inconvenient for me to stay for long. I will take my leave now."

Xiao Yunhe tried to persuade him to stay: "Please stay, my Lord. Although the Khanate's army has withdrawn, the army is still stranded in our country. The war is not really over. Please wait for a while until the Khanate's cavalry completely withdraws from our northern border. It will not be too late to leave after we regain control of Quyang Pass."

Qu Ziyang also said: "Brother Wanqi and I have been assisting the Marshal for nearly four months, and there are indeed many mundane affairs in the sect that need to be dealt with. In this case, since more than four months have passed, these few days are not a big deal. After the Khanate Cavalry completely withdraws from Quyang Pass, Marshal Xiao can no longer stop the two of us from leaving."

Xiao Yunhe could only agree: "Well, after the Khanate Cavalry completely withdraws from Quyang Pass, I will allow the two of you to leave."

After Xiao Yunhe's repeated insistence, the three led the Baiyun Empire army to wait at Beiming Pass. On the seventh day, spies reported that the Khanate cavalry had retreated to Quyang Pass, and after staying there for one night, they completely withdrew from the northern border of the Baiyun Empire.

Xiao Yunhe, Qu Ziyang and Emperor Wanqi Yuan all breathed a sigh of relief. The withdrawal of the Khanate meant that the crisis of the Baiyun Empire had come to a temporary end.

Xiao Yunhe sighed, "We finally got through this disaster safely, but unfortunately, the old king unfortunately passed away. We have lost the supreme strong man in the fusion realm to deter the four directions. I am afraid that the days to come will still be difficult to be peaceful."

Qu Ziyang replied, "We can only pass this one. The world is unpredictable. Who can predict what will happen in the future? Then, according to the previous agreement, Brother Wanqi and I will say goodbye."

Qu Ziyang and Emperor Wanqi Yuan left with their respective disciples from the Tianmo Sect and Qianlong Hall, while Xiao Yunhe personally led 400,000 Baiyun Empire troops to Quyang Pass. In view of the fact that Quyang Pass was once breached by the Khanate cavalry, he decided to personally check the site and rebuild and strengthen the fortifications before he could feel at ease.

There are still 100,000 permanent garrison soldiers at Beiming Pass.

However, after more than four months of intense fighting, as the enemy retreated, the situation seemed safe in the short term, and with the departure of their commander, these 100,000 troops relaxed.

Mou Wenbai, the commander of Beiming Pass, ordered the kitchen to slaughter pigs and sheep and take out the hidden good wine to entertain the soldiers. He wanted to take this opportunity to comfort all the soldiers.

Xia Zhongnan and Lang Zhengfeng have been keeping a close eye on the developments of Beiming Pass...

As the Khanate's cavalry retreated day by day, Beiming Pass remained as solid as a rock, and Young Master Zhengfeng could not help but feel extremely anxious. He wondered why Xiao Yunhe was so cautious, and whether Xia Zhongnan's plan would work. However, Xia Zhongnan was calm and confident, believing that the way of civil and military affairs requires relaxation and tension, and that hundreds of thousands of troops could not remain tense for long. Now that the external threat has been resolved, the longer they are tense, the more they will indulge themselves once they relax.

Sure enough, seven days later, Qu Ziyang and Emperor Wanqi Yuan left one after another, and then Xiao Yunhe led the army to the Quyang Pass, and the defense line in Beiming Pass collapsed instantly. The soldiers reveled and drank all night, completely forgetting their defenses.

Originally, he was worried that Qu Ziyang and Wanqi Yuandi would stay in Beiming Pass for a while, so he deliberately asked Marshal Baru to leave Qiu Jiye and another Baiguo Transformation Realm cultivator named Ke Subie to assist in the defense. He never expected that the actual situation did not require these two Transformation Realm powerhouses to take action.

At midnight, 10,000 Chiyang troops quietly attacked from the back of Beiming Pass. The soldiers guarding the pass, from the generals to the ordinary soldiers, were all drunk, and some even fell into a coma. The Chiyang army took almost no effort to capture this pass that even the 500,000 Khanate cavalry could not conquer.

Ke Subie stayed at Beiming Pass, while Qiu Jiye rushed to report the great victory to General Baru. At this moment, Xiao Yunhe was still leading 400,000 troops on the road to Quyang Pass. With his transformation realm, Qiu Jiye traveled more than a thousand miles in just one day and one night, and met General Baru outside Quyang Pass.

Marshal Baru pretended to leave Quyang Pass and headed straight for the interior of the Khanate, but he actually circled back and approached the Quyang Pass again. Upon learning the news brought by Qiu Jiye, he was overjoyed and immediately attacked the Quyang Pass again.

The Quyang Pass, which had been captured before, was in ruins, and the few Bai Kingdom defenders who came to support it were naturally unable to withstand the impact of the Khanate cavalry. In just half an hour, the Quyang Pass fell into the hands of the Khanate again.

After taking Quyang Pass, Marshal Baru did not hesitate to lead 500,000 cavalrymen to attack Beiming Pass. Two days later, a vanguard cavalry unit led by Xiao Yunhe encountered the Khanate cavalry. In one round of attack, the vanguard unit was completely wiped out. Another day later, the 400,000 troops led by Xiao Yunhe finally confronted the Khanate cavalry head-on on the vast plain.

When the Khanate cavalry came like a tide, Xiao Yunhe was filled with despair. As a cultivator in the Transformation Realm, if he chose to flee, no one could stop him. However, he did not order the army to form a formation to resist, but rushed into the Khanate cavalry formation without hesitation, not hesitating to consume his vitality, and killed a large number of Khanate soldiers.

Inspired by the commander's personal example, the Bai infantry launched a heroic counterattack against the Khanate cavalry. In the end, 400,000 Bai soldiers fought to the death with the great sacrifice of annihilation, and killed 150,000 Khanate cavalry. However, under the siege of the two great Transformation Realm monks, Marshal Baru and Qiu Jiye, Xiao Yunhe died bravely, but his last blow also severely injured Qiu Jiye, dragging him down with him to die together.

Three days later, Marshal Baru led the Khanate's immortal army to enter the Beiming Pass. At the same time, a secret army of the Chiling Sect quietly withdrew from the other end of the Beiming Pass and never had any contact with Marshal Baru again.

After occupying Beiming Pass, the 300,000 Khanate cavalrymen under Marshal Baru advanced into the heartland of Bai Kingdom, bringing the struggle in the cultivation world of Bai Kingdom into a new stage.
