Chapter 305: Azure Dragon Legion (I)

September 6th, it is the harvest season again. Tens of thousands of cattle and sheep are eating green grass on the grassland at the foot of Pingding Mountain. Now is the last time for them to store energy in the year. When winter comes, the grassland will be covered with snow and there will be no lush green grass for them to eat.

Hua Kai led 300 members of the Qinglong Corps and 1,000 Qinglong Reserve Corps out of Huacheng. After strict review at three checkpoints, they came to the foot of Pingding Mountain.

The Hua family is particularly strict in checking people who leave Huacheng. Even if Hua Kai leads the team personally, they have to check everyone's situation clearly.

"Grandpa, you go back! Take care of Huacheng. Before the winter comes this year, all bridges must be built. Xu Hua is busy these days. It is not easy to plant spiritual rice in more than 2,000 acres of spiritual fields. If he needs it, try to send him some people. And the military academy and the construction of [Tianma Field] cannot be left behind." Hua Kai came to the foot of the mountain and looked at his grandfather and said.

"Kai'er, do you really not need grandpa to go? We can still send out 500 elite soldiers from Huacheng." Hua Xing looked at Hua Kai and asked worriedly.

"Grandpa, you know the situation of our Qinglong Corps. I believe there are not many corps in the world that can compete with it, let alone a small Donghu, haha!

The Donghu Kingdom can only be regarded as a small stumbling block for us now. We have Leopard Jade Pass for defense, tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and ten innate combat forces. Even if the King of Donghu leads the team himself, we are not afraid." Hua Kai comforted his grandfather.

In grandpa's mind, Donghu Kingdom can compete with Yan and Qi. The population of the Hua family is dozens of times less than that of the other side. Even if they are not weak now, they have to use all their strength every time to survive the crisis in the face of such a powerful force.

"Since you say so, I won't insist anymore! We will take turns to wait for your news in the space. If we encounter any danger, we must enter the space to avoid it as soon as possible." Hua Xing saw that Hua Kai really didn't want his help, so he said.

Leaving Huacheng, Hua Kai rode all the way with the soldiers of the Qinglong Legion. The lowest level of horses they rode were fine horses. They arrived at noon, more than 200 miles away from Baoyu Pass.

Baoyu Pass has also entered a state of war. All the reserve soldiers have put on their armor, and the slave soldiers have picked up their weapons and are carrying supplies to the city wall inside the pass.

On the mountains on both sides of the north wall of Baoyu Pass, soldiers on two high watchtowers are watching the distance. In the arrow tower on the wall, the sharpshooters have prepared the positions of ordinary arrows and special arrows. The battle preparations of Baoyu Pass are much faster than Hua Kai imagined.

Arriving at the training ground, the fifth uncle Hua Zichen was leading the Qinglong Legion to make the final preparations. Hua Kai looked at the Qinglong Legion wearing exquisite leather armor, and the lowest level of horses were high-level horses. All the captains and above were riding BMWs. The three captains at the front of the team were all divine horses. This power surprised everyone.

"Kai'er, Xue Pan sent a message that the vanguard of the Gaoliu Merchant Corps has now reached the west side of Beishan. We should set off now and wait until tomorrow morning for the entire team to cross Beishan. The Donghu cavalry may want to rob and kill our merchant corps again to the east of Beishan." Hua Zichen said.

The east of Beishan belongs to the Donghu Kingdom, and the west of Beishan belongs to the Linhu Kingdom. If the Donghu wants to rob the Gaoliu Merchant Corps, of course they have to choose their own territory, otherwise they will have friction with the Linhu Kingdom.

"You tell Xue Pan to let the merchant corps cross Beishan today. Next, the Donghu Kingdom wants people to watch a show, and we will put on a good show with the Donghu cavalry... Qinglong Corps, set off!"

Hua Kai and the Qinglong Corps left the Baoyu Pass together, and all the White Tiger Corps guards on the wall of the pass went up to the wall to see them off.

Each legion has its own mission. The mission of the White Tiger Corps is to guard the Baoyu Pass and prevent the enemy from stepping into the pass.

The mission of the Suzaku Corps is to ensure the stability of the entire Gaoliu County within the pass, and the responsibility of the Black Tortoise Corps is to protect the safety of Gaoliu City, an important city in Gaoliu County.

Then the Qinglong Corps has the best equipment, weapons and horses of the Hua family. Their duty is to defeat all enemies of Gaoliu County and win a stable development for the entire Gaoliu County.

The Qinglong Corps of more than 3,000 people left Leopard Jade Pass. Hua Zichen sent three squadrons of scout cavalry to disperse a hundred miles away to look for traces of the enemy.

The rest of the Qinglong Corps members quickly moved westward. They were all strong men above the Qidong Realm and could use true qi to speed up the endurance and pace of horses. In the evening, the scout cavalry sent a message that the traces of Donghu cavalry were found 200 miles northeast of Beishan.

There were a total of 20,000 Donghu cavalrymen, and they all seemed to be Donghu elites. They were afraid of being chased by the other side's elites if they got close, so they didn't dare to get too close.

All of this is similar to what the Hua family expected. The other party is planning to eliminate the Gaoliu Merchant Corps on the east side of Beishan. This is for the Beishan bandits to see, and for the Hua family of Gaoliu County to see, and it is also for the Donghu Kingdom itself to have confidence. This grassland will always belong to the Donghu Kingdom.

Knowing the whereabouts of the Donghu cavalry, Hua Kai was relieved. They came to the east side of Beishan and saw countless cattle and sheep slowly coming out of Beishan driven by slaves and members of the Hua family. After leaving the Beishan area, they stopped at the foot of the mountain and waited for the subsequent members to pass.

The Qinglong Corps stopped five miles away from the Hua family merchant group. After getting off the horse, everyone waited quietly, watching more and more people, horses, cattle, sheep, and caravans appearing on the east side of Beishan. Everyone knew that a huge test was getting closer and closer to them. They would guard these companions behind them and go home. Perhaps many people would die on the grass under their feet in the process.

When it was dark, more and more people came from the west side of Beishan. Tents were built within 10 miles of the east side of Beishan. The merchant groups put all the carriages outside the tents and organized a large number of soldiers and slaves to patrol there. Everyone knew that tonight was the last tranquility. Tomorrow they would experience an unforgettable war, and perhaps they would have to fight a battle with tens of thousands of Donghu cavalry.

Hua Kai saw some servants of the Hua family seeing him in the distance, and they shouted happily to greet him. Xue Pan and Hua Peng rode to the Qinglong Corps formation and came to Hua Kai to salute him.

"Even if all the people of the Qinglong Corps are here today, tomorrow will be the most important battle for our Qinglong Corps. Whether Gaoliu County will lie down under the feet of Donghu to survive, or can compete with them for a long time, depends on us. Everyone, go west for 10 miles, don't disturb the merchant group's arrangements."

Hua Kai saw that the merchant group actually passed through Beishan overnight. They were also desperate. If they fought with Donghu tomorrow, they would either live or die. No one would retreat from Beishan and choose to escape.

As night fell, the foot of the mountain on the east side of Beishan began to become red with lights, and piles of bonfires rose in the middle of the tents. Hua Kai looked from a distance and saw that the merchant group returned from the grassland this time. There were at least 50,000 people. In addition to the Hua family, the various families and clans in Gaoliu City also brought a large number of slaves, as well as countless cattle, sheep and horses.

The Qinglong Corps did not bring tents. They were all above the Qidong realm and could rest by lying next to their war horses at night. Hua Kai saw a group of torches coming from the direction of the merchant group's base, so he asked Tang Lei to take people to greet them.

Wei Hong brought more than 200 people carrying more than 100 roasted whole lambs to the camp. Tang Lei led the soldiers to take the roasted whole lambs and distribute them to each brigade.

"What, has the merchant group settled down?" Hua Kai looked at Wei Baotou and asked.

"More than 50,000 people, the number of horses, cattle and sheep is close to 200,000. Except for the migration of large tribes, there will be no such grand scene on the grassland. We started crossing the North Mountain at noon, and less than 30,000 people have come so far. It is estimated that it will take until tomorrow morning for everyone to come." Wei Baotou said.

How could Hua Kai not know the hardship of traveling for business? This time he brought so many cattle and sheep, driving them from the Ordos tribe back to Gaoliu County. Many lambs have grown up, and there are countless cattle and sheep born on the road. They spent six months walking only more than 20 miles a day, and sent these livestock back little by little.

"Tomorrow morning, let's all watch carefully. This battle will be our most critical battle. Let's see how our Gaoliu County men resist the Donghu bandits." Hua Kai said in a deep voice.

Donghu Kingdom and Gaoliu County are fighting. If they focus on the Gaoliu Merchant Corps, what else can they do but bandits!

"I know. Tomorrow I will definitely stop all the servants, slaves, and other merchant corps from watching the performance of my Hua family men." Wei Baotou said seriously.

...

When the afterglow of the next morning shone on the vast grassland, a team of cavalry slowly appeared in the northeast of Beishan. These cavalrymen were wearing thick leather armor and riding majestic war horses. Their target was the huge merchant corps at the foot of the distant mountain. However, before eating this piece of fat meat, they had to deal with the small cavalry regiment in front of them.

Hua Kai and Hua Zichen rode on horses and stood at the forefront of the Qinglong Corps. Everyone stared quietly at the 20,000 Donghu cavalrymen who were constantly approaching. Looking at the huge cavalry of the other side that was 6 times their own, they did not have the slightest fear in their hearts, but only the excitement for the upcoming battle.

The Donghu cavalry came to the north of the Qinglong Corps a thousand meters away and began to slowly form a battle array. They also knew that the three thousand elite cavalry in front of them were their biggest enemy this time.

In the caravan formation not far away, all the members of the Gaoliu Merchant Group were watching outside the car formation. They were all watching this important moment. From today, this grassland might have a new owner!

Seeing that the other side had already started to organize a charge, the cavalry charge they organized used a common front arrow formation, putting all the masters at the arrow position, as if they wanted to use 20,000 cavalry to directly rush the Qinglong Corps.

The Qinglong Corps was originally just a light cavalry, not suitable for a frontal battle. But looking at the eager eyes of everyone around him, Hua Kai knew that the Qinglong Corps wanted a glorious victory today. He raised the [Silver Spear] in his hand, and everyone quietly waited for his order.

"Qinglong Corps!" Hua Kai shouted.

"Here!"

The loud voices of three thousand people shook the world, and the Gaoliu Merchant Group in the distance couldn't help but be excited.

"Follow me...charge!" Hua Kai raised the [Silver Spear] high, which meant an order to charge with all his might. Upon hearing this, all members of the Qinglong Legion followed Hua Kai's footsteps and charged towards the Donghu cavalry.
