Chapter 291 Great Victory

The bandits who were attacking the city saw that the camp behind them was attacked and that many places in the camp were on fire. Seeing that the defense of Baoyu Pass was impeccable, they tried many times but could not climb the city wall again, so they realized that they had lost this battle.

The Hua family cavalry broke into the enemy camp and a big fire burned up their few remaining food and tents. They stood in the distance and watched the fire area rising outside Baoyu Pass. The bandit army finally blew the horn of retreat.

Hua Zichen did not get too entangled with the enemy cavalry. He knew that even if he attacked by force, he could still take down the more than 20,000 bandits in the distance, but the ones behind him were the future hopes that the Hua family had cultivated for so many years. This time, it was mainly to let them experience the atmosphere of the battlefield. These horse bandits are now trapped in a jar and they can't escape.

The bandits slowly retreated from Baoyu Pass and came to the outside of their camp, at a loss. Their leader and most of the leaders had been killed at Baoyu Pass. Looking at the 10,000 cavalry in the distance, everyone could only tighten the team and defend on the spot.

The battlefield fell into a strange silence. The bandit army was already in a heated discussion. Without the camp and food, they were doomed to fail. Some bandit leaders shouted to fight with Baoyu Pass.

But how to fight now? They had just retreated from Baoyu Pass and lost a lot of high ladders. Would they use the pile of corpses of the army to climb Baoyu Pass?

The discussion did not produce any results. Some bandit leaders began to gather their troops and planned to escape in the chaos when the battle came. At this time, only their own survival was the key.

But until dark, the Hua family cavalry did not launch an attack. They even dismounted and ate dry food not far from the bandit army. The bandits had not eaten for a day, and they had already started killing war horses!

The grassland entered the night, and countless torches rose at Baoyu Pass, illuminating the outside of Baoyu Pass. Hua Zichen organized the Hua family cavalry to take turns to rest. Now it was a game of cat and mouse.

Hua Kai stood on the Baoyu Pass and saw that there seemed to be a dispute among the bandits. Some bandits fought for food, but the chaos was quickly suppressed. He did not feel sorry and waited quietly at the pass.

It was not until the second half of the night that hundreds of cavalrymen in the bandit army seemed to want to leave quietly. As soon as they rushed out of their own army, they were blocked by thousands of Hua family cavalrymen. Most of the hundreds of cavalrymen were lost in one charge. The remaining cavalrymen saw that there was no hope of escape and hurriedly retreated. The bandit army was just about to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but before they could organize the team, the Hua family cavalry had already ended the battle.

The hope of letting the cavalry lead the enemy's forces away was shattered. If the infantry dispersed, they would not be the opponent of the cavalry. The leaders of the bandit army discussed for a long time, but they did not discuss any solution until dawn.

After dawn, the Hua family cavalry separated half of the cavalry into the pass to rest. They were not afraid that the bandit army would disperse and escape. Dispersing on the grassland would be courting death. The Hua family cavalry hoped that they would separate. They just had to keep an eye on the more than 2,000 cavalrymen from leaving.

In the morning, all the soldiers at the checkpoint had breakfast. They watched the bandit army slowly retreat on the city wall. After a day, many bandits were already starving. It was not a good idea to kill horses like this for an army of more than 20,000 people every day. Many bandits could only get a few bites of horse meat. If they didn't think of a way out, the bandit army might be in chaos.

Seeing the other side slowly retreating like a snail, Hua Kai was not worried at all. Hua Zichen led 5,000 cavalrymen to run a circle outside the enemy's army. They had to stop again because it was too difficult to command more than 20,000 people at the same time. Hua Zichen seized the opportunity to kill more than a hundred people on the other side. If the enemy had not supported in time, Hua Zichen was afraid that his own casualties would be too great, and the 5,000 cavalrymen could take the opportunity to disperse the enemy's army.

In the afternoon, the enemy had moved less than a mile away. At this time, the bandit army finally lost its patience.

They divided their cavalry into more than ten teams and began to flee in all directions. When the Hua family cavalry saw this, they all chased the fleeing bandit cavalry. The farce of cavalry chasing and killing was staged on the entire grassland.

Hua Kai saw that the bandit army was actually divided into hundreds of teams and fled everywhere. He asked Han Jinsheng, who was about to leave the city to pursue them, to wait a little longer. It would be strange if these infantrymen could escape under the pursuit of the cavalry. The separated bandit army was just seeking the last glimmer of hope for survival, but is there hope?

Seeing the bandit army fleeing for more than ten miles, Hua Kai ordered the city gate to be opened. Han Jinsheng led 5,000 cavalry to chase them. He asked Yu Jun to bring all the soldiers in the pass in, including 3,000 slave soldiers. Only more than 200 people were left on the wall of Baoyu Pass for defense.

Soon, teams of prisoners were captured. The fighting will of these bandits had been almost exhausted. Many times, they surrendered as soon as the Hua family cavalry arrived. The cavalry handed the prisoners to the infantry behind them and went to chase the fleeing bandits.

The parade ground inside Baoyu Pass was full of tied-up captives. Some Baoyu Pass residents came up to punch and kick these vicious Beishan bandits. They had been persecuted by Beishan bandits countless times over the years, but this was the first time they saw so many bandit captives.

Until noon the next day, more and more Hua family pursuit troops returned. Almost all of the more than 20,000 bandit infantry were captured, and most of the cavalry troops also returned. There were also sporadic Hua family cavalry squads outside Baoyu Pass with bandits or horses. In the evening, Hua Zichen finally returned.

"There shouldn't be many bandit cavalry who can escape. We immediately sent out cavalry to entangle them. We have a large number of horses and specialize in chasing and killing the fastest escapers. After this great victory, I believe no one dares to provoke us easily!" Hua Zichen came to Hua Kai with hundreds of Hua family light cavalry, dozens of captives and hundreds of war horses.

"Well, the battle is over. I have been in Baoyu Pass for a few days, but I haven't visited Aunt Wu yet. Let Yu Jun and the others do the post-war statistics! Go back to the General's Mansion and rest quickly." Hua Kai said as he went back to the General's Mansion with his uncle Wu.

The General's Mansion has changed a lot in the more than two months since Hua Kai left. Many courtyards and pavilions in the Central Plains style have been built, and the number of houses in the mansion has doubled. All important members of the Hua family live in the General's Mansion.

Hua Kai and Hua Zichen came to the inner courtyard and saw Princess Ji Le waiting at the door with a big belly. She was delighted to see Hua Zichen come back.

"Meet the head of the family!" Ji Le saluted Hua Kai.

"No need to be polite, Aunt Wu. I heard that Aunt Wu is pregnant. Grandma is very happy. This is a big event for our entire Hua family. Aunt Wu must take good care of the pregnancy!" Princess Ji Le nodded solemnly when she heard Hua Kai's words. The Hua family is now in the most important period of prosperity. The biggest problem is that the children of the Hua family are not qualified enough and it is difficult for them to shoulder the responsibility of the family's development. She and Hua Zichen are both highly qualified, and the qualifications of the child they give birth to will certainly not be bad. "This is the [Zhenyu Antai Pill]. After taking it, it is good for the child's health and can also improve the child's qualifications. Aunt Wu, take it! There are also these pills, which are some ordinary pills. Take them with you in case of emergency!" Hua Kai took out a bunch of pills and handed them to Princess Ji Le. One of the milky white pills was surrounded by three layers of pill rhyme, and it was not an ordinary product at first glance. This is a special treasure pill that Hua Kai refined with a seventh-grade spiritual medicine. A drop of [Ten Thousand Years of Stalactite] was added to make a pill. Although the rank of this pill is only at the level of an eighth-grade treasure pill, it is no less precious than a spiritual pill. Princess Ji Le did not refuse and took out the [Zhenyu Antai Pill] and swallowed it in one gulp. She felt that the pill turned into a thread of spiritual energy and all gathered in her belly. The little guy in her belly seemed to feel something and began to kick her belly.

"Uncle Wu, when will Aunt Wu give birth? You should accompany Aunt Wu more at that time, and let Han Jinsheng and Hua Mo handle the affairs of the Light Cavalry Regiment." Hua Kai said.

"The time is in this half month! The battle of Baoyu Pass is over. How do you plan to expand the Hua family light cavalry regiment?" Hua Zichen asked.

The Hua family light cavalry regiment is the core of the Hua family's battle. Now that the Hua family's combat power is basically gathered here, it is the right time to expand the Hua family light cavalry regiment.

"Tomorrow morning, let Yu Jun count the prisoners and losses in the battle. First, let the combatants of each affiliated family bring all the prisoners back to Gaoliu City. Gather all those who have signed up to join the Light Cavalry Regiment and assess them.

Those who are strong enough will be assigned to the Light Cavalry Regiment or the Reserve Team. Those who are not strong enough will see if they are willing to join the Baoyuguan Garrison Army. It is time for many of our reserve team members to join the Light Cavalry Regiment!" Hua Kai said.

The Hua family cavalry reserve team has more than 2,600 people, all of whom are Hua family youths who have reached the Great Perfection of Kaiyuan Realm or above. Therefore, when the order to expand the Light Cavalry Regiment was issued, thousands of Hua family servants were willing to participate. Judging from the current situation, it is not very difficult for the Hua family Light Cavalry Team to expand to 3,000 people.

In the early morning of the next day, Yu Jun delivered the battle report to Hua Kai.

In this Leopard Jade Pass defense battle, the Hua family sent a total of 300 light cavalry, 2,600 reserve light cavalry, 7,000 ordinary cavalry, 5,000 infantry, 2,000 Leopard Jade Pass garrison, 3,000 slave soldiers, a total of 20,000 people to resist 30,000 Beishan bandits.

A total of 7,000 enemies were killed, 22,000 bandits were captured, and only a few hundred people were injured. The light cavalry and the reserve light cavalry were the main forces in this battle, and the damage was less than 30. It can be said that this was a rare victory.

In addition, the Hua family also seized 2,000 war horses, including more than 30 BMWs and nearly 1,000 horses. The expansion of the light cavalry regiment has a place to go.

After a day of rest in Leopard Jade Pass, this small Leopard Jade Pass was indeed crowded with more than 40,000 people. Hua Kai watched 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry escorting more than 20,000 prisoners to leave Leopard Jade Pass, and Leopard Jade Pass seemed relaxed.

The order to expand the Light Cavalry Regiment has been received from Bao Yutian. All members of the Hua family, as long as their strength reaches the Qidong Realm or above, can participate in the assessment of the Light Cavalry Team. Those under 23 years old, with strength reaching the Kaiyuan Realm or above, can participate in the assessment of the Hua family's Light Cavalry Reserve Team.
