Chapter 287 The arrival of the reserve group

While Hua Zichen was holding back the Beishan bandits and slowly approaching the Leopard Jade Pass, Yu Jun had already led people to complete the defensive fortifications on the wall.

All slaves had stopped working. They moved the stones sent by Hua Kai and Hua Zichen through the portable space to the top of the wall. The garrison reserve was already preparing below. The wall had limited space and too many people were not necessarily good.

At noon the next day, the Beishan bandits had not arrived yet. Yu Jun sent scout cavalry to check, but found that the other party had only traveled more than 10 miles in a day, and now they were more than 80 miles away from Leopard Jade Pass!

Yu Jun was relieved when he heard this. Hua Zichen really held back the other party's steps, so their reinforcements must have arrived before the other party arrived.

In the afternoon, more than 3,000 cavalrymen arrived in Gaoliu City. This was the only cavalry unit of the Hua family in Gaoliu City. Three days later, there were 5,000 infantrymen coming. That was the army prepared by the Hua family and its affiliated families.

Among the more than 3,000 cavalry, there are more than 2,000 Hua family light cavalry reserve. Most of these reserve members are around 20 years old. Many of them are above A- qualifications. They are the hope of the Hua family in the future. The Hua family will never let them go to battle easily unless it is a critical moment.

"Mr. Yu, we are here to help defend the city. The light cavalry should be outside the pass to contain and resist the troops. You don't let us go out of the city. Do you want us to be infantry to defend the city?"

Han Jinsheng, as the head of the light cavalry reserve, said to Yu Jun dissatisfiedly. The reserve members behind him also clamored to go out of the pass to fight.

"General Han, look behind you. These are the seeds of our family's future. Most of them have just passed the Qidong realm, and many of them are still in the Kaiyuan realm. They have never been on the battlefield. Without the order of the Fifth Master, if I let you go out of the pass, you will be in danger. Will the head of the family kill me?" Yu Jun looked at Han Jinsheng and said.

Han Jinsheng had no choice. He had been at Baoyu Pass for a day. Most of the light cavalry reserve team behind him were still around 20 years old, and half of the members of the Hua family were among them. When everyone heard that there was an enemy attacking outside Baoyu Pass, they were eager to join the battle. They knew that the light cavalry was expanding, and everyone hoped to establish merits for the family on the battlefield.

"Mr. Yu, the light cavalry reserve team is also eager to fight. We have been here for a day. I don't know what the enemy's current situation is?" Han Jinsheng said.

"The fifth master has already led more than 300 family light cavalry to fight the opponent. The opponent has 5,000 cavalry and 25,000 infantry. If it continues at the current speed, it will take a long time to arrive. You should first familiarize yourself with the environment of Baoyu Pass. When the war really comes, you will definitely have a chance to take action." After Yu Jun finished speaking, the several team members who came with Han Jinsheng were obviously unhappy.

"Mr. Yu, maybe the Fifth Master doesn't know the situation in our pass yet, so you can let us send a team out. Maybe the Fifth Master is still waiting for our support!"

The speaker was a captain of the Hua family's light cavalry reserve team. He was one of the ten young men of the Hua family. He was two years older than Hua Kai and entered the reserve team training early before entering the Jixia Academy. Now he has just entered the Qi training realm and was appointed as one of the captains of the 100-man light cavalry reserve team.

Yu Jun thought about it and couldn't refute it. He asked Han Jinsheng to take 41 members of the Qi training realm reserve team out of Leopard Jade Pass to investigate the current situation of the enemy.

Hua Zichen had been entangled with the Beishan bandits for more than two days. Even if he was strong, the gap between 300 people and 30,000 was not a little. Now the Beishan bandits are familiar with their offensive methods, and they can no longer cause much damage to the other side.

The Hua family light cavalry caused thousands of casualties to the other side on the first day, and only about 500 were killed on the second day. As of today, only more than 100 people have been killed, and half of them were killed by Hua Zichen alone.

The Hua family light cavalry dismounted and rested not far away, but the Beishan bandits ignored them completely. They rested when they needed to rest, and cooked when they needed to eat. When the Hua family light cavalry came, they defended on the spot, delaying the enemy and waiting for their cavalry to come and surround them.

On the third day, the Beishan bandits finally sped up their journey. Hua Zichen had no way to deal with it. He tried to rush and kill these bandits several times without any chaos, and he even lost a precious light cavalry.

In the afternoon, Han Jinsheng arrived with 41 members of the reserve regiment. Hua Zichen saw them and rode up to greet them personally.

"General Han! Has the reserve regiment arrived?" Hua Zichen asked Han Jinsheng when he saw him.

"A total of 2,734 light cavalry reserve members are all at Baoyu Pass, and there are nearly a thousand ordinary cavalry. The 5,000 reinforcements from Gaoliu City will arrive the day after tomorrow." Han Jinsheng said when he saw Hua Zichen.

"Well, that's great! These are bandits from Beishan. They may come for revenge, or they may be sent by Donghu to test us. Their leader is in the Xiantian realm, but he has been seriously injured by me. Everyone should be careful." Hua Zichen instructed.

He saw the 41 people brought by Han Jinsheng, all of whom were young people around 20 years old. They were all cultivated by the Hua family for so many years with countless spiritual rice and elixirs. They were cultivated as the core of any family. Before they really encountered a bottleneck, few families were willing to send them to the battlefield.

"You should follow the light cavalry first! The Beishan bandits are now having fewer and fewer flaws. Our main task is to hunt down their scouts. Don't be easily entangled by them! No one will be able to save you then." Hua Zichen remembered Hua Kai's words and finally agreed to let them join the light cavalry.

Everyone was very happy to hear this. Almost all of them were surnamed Hua and had long regarded themselves as members of the Hua family. When they heard that they could finally serve the family, their faces were filled with excitement.

Hua Zichen felt proud when he saw this. With so many outstanding young people in front of him, how could the Hua family not prosper?

Hua Zichen and the old members of the light cavalry team carefully taught the young teammates the key points of light cavalry combat. They were all entangled without [Gold Silk Soft Armor] and it was difficult to escape. All the young team members also studied seriously.

With the addition of new members, Hua Zichen attacked more carefully. The Beishan bandits also knew that there was no way to deal with the Hua family's light cavalry. At night, the new members slept next to their horses for the first time.

The enemy was just a thousand meters away from them. If the enemy approached them at the first time, they had to get up and seize the opportunity at the first time. The new members felt for the first time that it was not easy to be the ace troops of the Hua family.

Three days later, the 41 new members had already looked a little like light cavalry. They were able to seek their own combat rhythm according to the speed of their horses. They began to cooperate with the old members to seduce and kill the enemy soldiers, showing the combat power that the Qi training realm should have.

Leopard Jade Pass was right in front of them. After five days of entanglement with the Beishan bandits, the other party still came to the outside of Leopard Jade Pass. Hua Zichen saw that it was only 10 miles away from the checkpoint, and it was useless to entangle the enemy. In the past five days, he killed more than 1,600 enemy soldiers, and the Hua family light cavalry only lost one person. Tonight he planned to take everyone back to Baoyu Pass to rest.

The Beishan bandits finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the Hua family light cavalry leave, but they didn't dare to sleep too soundly so close to Baoyu Pass, fearing that the Baoyu Pass guards would attack at night. Baoyu Pass is protected by a city wall, so just send people to patrol the wall!

The next morning, the Beishan bandits were awakened by a Hua family of 4,000 cavalry.

The nightmare of the 300 Hua family light cavalry a few days ago had not yet dissipated from their minds. After finally rushing to Baoyu Pass, the other side actually sent out more than 4,000 cavalry, and some bandits began to panic.

Hua Zichen led 4,000 cavalrymen to run a circle at high speed outside the Beishan bandit camp, scaring some bandits to retreat quickly, but he did not launch an attack. He retreated to the side with 4,000 cavalrymen, just watching the bandits pack up their tents, and then slowly marched towards Baoyu Pass.

Yu Jun stood on Baoyu Pass and watched the Beishan bandits getting closer and closer to him. He was not worried at all. Baoyu Pass had unprecedentedly sufficient defense forces and supplies. He occupied the advantage of the pass and now waited for the other side to make a move.

A war with tens of thousands of people is not so easy to end. Four years ago, the Qi-Yan War, with a total of more than 30,000 people participating in the war, ended after more than half a year.

The Donghu coalition attacked Yan State for two years before retreating, and the battle for the pass would take longer unless a large number of high-level combat personnel were involved.

The leader of the Beishan bandits under Baoyu Pass is now in a dilemma. Knowing that Gaoliu County was occupied by a newly promoted seventh-rank family, all the villages in Beishan felt that Yan State had sent a family to deliver food again. You know, Gaoliu County was once the territory of a fourth-rank family, and in the end, the fourth-rank family was driven away by them.

Everyone thought this was a rare hunting opportunity, so he gathered a few close-knit villages and set off.

Looking at the familiar Baoyu Pass in front of him, it seemed to be no different from before, except that some damaged places had been repaired, but the bandit leader was a little nervous this time.

There was a silence at Baoyu Pass, and some heads could be vaguely seen shaking. This was completely different from the appearance of the Baoyu Pass defenders in the past. In the past, they had seen people sent out to negotiate with them, and people delivered food and property without making any moves.

Seeing this, the bandit leader had to let his men set up camp first, because war could not be rushed.

Seeing that the bandits used some wood to make their camp airtight, there were chevaux de frise stakes and pits everywhere inside and outside the camp, as if they came here to defend against the attack of the Hua family cavalry.

Hua Zichen had no choice but to lead the Hua family cavalry around the periphery. Seeing that the other side had no intention of rushing to attack, he could only wander around outside the pass!

At night, the torches in the bandit camp were red, and the patrol figures on the distant checkpoints flickered. This greatly reduced the crisis of the bandits attacking the camp in the middle of the night, but they were all exposed to the patrol team members on the wall.

Okay! In this way, everyone can sleep peacefully at night and don't worry about each other. This battle makes people feel so weird.

The attackers are fully defending, leaving the defenders with nothing to do. At night, Hua Zichen bypassed the bandit camp, opened the checkpoint gate, and entered the Leopard Jade Pass openly. The other side only sent people to monitor. This war seemed to take a long time.
