Chapter 338 Chaos

Everyone lowered their heads to think about the news Hua Zichen brought. He asked the Donghu soldiers about it, so it shouldn't be false. At this time, the Donghu elite had already entered the pass, and Yan must have known that the Central Plains war had not yet started, and Donghu had actually declared war on Yan first.

"Master, why are the Zhu, Feng, and Gongsun families so bold? What is the purpose of doing this?" Er Zhuang looked at Hua Kai and asked when he heard Hua Zichen say this.

Hua Kai looked at Xue Chen without saying a word. Everyone knew that Hua Kai was testing Xue Chen. Xue Chen is now at the sixth level of the Xiantian realm, and has become one of the highest realms under Hua Kai, far surpassing the other nine of the Hua family's ten young men.

"Since the head of the family is testing me, I will tell you my opinion.

Although Yan is one of the seven heroes in the Central Plains, it is somewhat similar to Yiqiu. The northern families all exist in the form of tribes and are subject to the Yan family.

I think there are three main reasons why the Zhu, Feng, Gongsun and other families dared to attack Yan at this time.

The first is the Great Wall. Yan built the northern Great Wall. In the future, the communication between the Yan family and the Donghu tribe will be blocked. Many families who secretly do business with the Donghu can no longer do so. In addition, this year we opened the Leopard Jade Pass, and their income dropped sharply. There are at least three people in the foundation building realm in their three major families. After joining the Donghu, the Donghu is not ruled by the Donghu king alone.

Second, the King of Qi has just died. Qi and Yan used to resist the Donghu together to avoid too much loss. This time they rebelled against Yan and it is unlikely that Qi will help them. They think that even if they cannot completely defeat Yan, it is no problem to fight against the other side.

Third, the Central Plains War is imminent. If Qin finally unifies the world, it will not be able to reach the grassland. They have rebelled against Yan now. If they encounter a powerful Qin in the future, they can flee north and wait for the Central Plains to have a chance to come back. This is also to preserve their own strength. "

Everyone nodded when Xue Chen said this. Xue Chen must be a core figure of the Hua family with such a brain. Perhaps Hua Mo will not be able to compare with him in the future.

"Xue Chen's analysis is correct, but Zhu, Feng and other families are probably seeking their own death this time!" Hua Kai said at this time.

According to Xue Chen's analysis, Zhu, Feng, Gongsun and other families should be considered to have made a good move this time, but why did Hua Kai say that they were seeking their own death?

"Xue Chen is stupid, please tell me, patriarch!" Xue Chen heard Hua Kai say this and said that he didn't know where the three families were wrong.

"As the third largest family in the Central Plains, how could Yan not know the attitudes of the various families in the country? In the past, it allowed the various families to trade with the Donghu Kingdom for the development of the country. However, the Central Plains War is coming, and Yan established the Northern Great Wall to focus on the Central Plains. Now that the Zhu, Feng and other families have jumped out, how could the King of Yan not consider it?

One of the main reasons why the Yan family handed Gaoliu County to Qi was that they did not want to have friction with Zhao, Zhongshan, Linhu and other countries. Now I help them guard the northwest gate, and they can completely focus all their thoughts on the northeastern Great Wall area. Within two years, Yan will be able to unify domestic thoughts. At that time, Yan will exceed everyone's imagination." Hua Kai said.

Everyone listened quietly. There are many families in Yan, and many of them are only nominally ruled by the Yan family. If the Yan family can lead all the forces in the country, perhaps its strength is not worse than that of Qin and Chu.

"So, the stronger we are, the happier the Yan family will be. Then our Gaoliu County was personally attacked by the King of Donghu this time, and 300,000 troops came to attack. Will Yan send experts to support us? After all, if we fail, it will have a great impact on the Yan family." Hua Xing said at this time.

"When Yan handed Gaoliu County to Qi, the two countries may have determined the responsibilities of both parties. Qi is now ruled by all the noble families. If our Gaoliu County fails, they will definitely help, but the speed should not be too fast. We are the pawns of Qi placed in Baoyuguan to deal with Donghu."

When Hua Kai said this, everyone fell into deep thought. It turned out that the Hua family seemed to be prosperous in Gaoliu County, but in the end it was just a pawn for the two major countries to consume the strength of Donghu. Many people couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.

"Everyone, don't be unhappy. There is nothing wrong with being a chess piece. At least our situation is much better than before in Guang County.

The noble families of Qi and Yan will not offend us easily now. In fact, they often help us to grow our strength. This is why the two countries have never stopped us from buying wood, stone and other materials in the past two years.

If we block the King of Donghu from Baoyu Pass this time, the Hua family will naturally get the status and benefits they deserve. Qi and Yan must recognize the status of the Hua family in the northern part of the Central Plains. Only then will the Hua family be qualified to sit in the position of chess player."

Hua Kai patiently explained that the Hua family's strength has increased too fast, and everyone still knows too little about many things at the national level. After hearing Hua Kai's words, everyone has a clear understanding of the current situation of the Hua family.

"A big battle is inevitable. Although the Azure Dragon Corps is strong, it cannot act rashly without a way to deal with the other party's foundation-building realm. In addition to the Donghu King's Cavalry, the Donghu Kingdom can compete with the Azure Dragon Corps. There are at least 2,000 elite troops. If we are entangled and unable to escape, the 300,000-man army can eat up the Azure Dragon Corps.

Fifth uncle, our final decisive battle must still be at Leopard Jade Pass. The Donghu King has been fighting all his life and will not leave the Azure Dragon Corps with a chance to attack. You just need to keep a close eye on the opponent. When the Donghu army starts to attack the city, you can look for opportunities!" Hua Kai said to Hua Zichen.

Hua Zichen nodded. This time, the Azure Dragon Corps lost nearly 100 soldiers, but only killed less than 1,000 Donghu soldiers. This is unimaginable for the well-equipped Azure Dragon Corps. Now that Hua Kai said this, they also knew their future tasks. All success or failure still had to wait until Leopard Jade Pass to see the outcome.

The Donghu army was much more cautious than everyone in the Hua family expected. It took them more than half a month to arrive at Leopard Jade Pass. The Donghu camp covers tens of thousands of acres. The Donghu Kingdom has divided its more than 300,000 troops into more than ten areas. Each area is fully equipped with various horse traps, horse traps, watchtowers, arrow towers, etc. If the Qinglong Corps dares to advance rashly, it will inevitably be trapped.

Hua Kai stood on the Leopard Jade Pass and saw that there were only more than 200 soldiers defending the Leopard Jade Pass. After two years of military construction, the White Tiger Corps now has a combat power of Kaiyuan Realm or above. Their 200 people are scattered on the 500-meter-wide wall. This is the most suitable number of defenders in the early stage of the city defense war after a long period of exploration and discussion.

Hua Kai will not make any comments on how to defend the Leopard Jade Pass. The White Tiger Corps has been studying how to defend the wall for many years and must have its own set of defenses. If he speaks too much, it will only disrupt the opponent's arrangement. His target is only the King of Donghu.

Hua Kai waited for two days at Baoyu Pass. The Qinglong Corps had been staying five miles north of the Donghu camp. There was no gap in the enemy camp. Even if they rode on divine horses, they did not dare to rush into the camp. So they could only watch quietly from a distance, waiting for the Donghu army to attack the city, and then see if they could find an opportunity to attack.

The Donghu army did not attack Baoyu Pass for a week. Baoyu Pass put all its main defensive forces on the second wave of support on the city wall, so most of the White Tiger Corps were on standby in the barracks, and only arranged the minimum amount of training every day to maintain their condition.

On the eighth day, it was already July. Hua Kai was sitting in the main house of the general's mansion. His consciousness was immersed in the [virtual space]. The second chapter of Journey to the West was finally completed, but now was not the time to write the second chapter.

Two masters of the Jixia Academy brought hundreds of disciples to meet outside the general's mansion. After they learned that Hua Kai had been promoted to a great novelist, they brought their disciples to Gaoliu County and chased all the way to Baoyu Pass.

Hua Kai wanted to meet these two masters, but suddenly heard the sound of drums outside the pass. He hurried to the wall outside the pass, but saw that the battle had begun on the wall.

There were only 200 people on the wall, and tens of thousands of people outside the pass carried hundreds of ladders to climb up, but the entire Baoyu Pass wall was only 500 meters wide. The Donghu slave soldiers climbed up the wall like ants, but few people could climb to the top of the wall. The White Tiger Corps used a special push rod to push down the ladder, and few slave soldiers could climb the wall.

These slave soldiers were actually just a tentative attack by the Donghu army. Although they seemed to have a large number of people, it was difficult to put too much pressure on the White Tiger Corps. Hua Kai heard the shouts of someone outside the pass pushing a battering ram to attack the city gate. A squadron leader of the White Tiger Corps hurriedly called for support. Hundreds of slave soldiers climbed the wall with stones, and soon there was a shout outside the pass.

A stone the size of a human head fell into the wall, and Hua Kai knew that the Donghu army outside the city was using catapults to attack the city.

The White Tiger Legion's support troops were close to the inner side of the city wall, where the catapults could not attack. The defenders on the city wall were very calm when they saw the catapults. They pushed the ladders when they should, and stabbed the enemy with spears when they saw that the enemy was about to climb the wall. All of this was trained countless times by the White Tiger Legion before.

A huge stone hit a defending soldier on the city wall, and the soldier's sternum was sunken in all of a sudden. Lying on the ground, it was obvious that he would not survive.

Several soldiers next to him were also smashed and splashed by the huge stone. At this time, a squad leader led 20 soldiers to bend down to supplement, and ten slave soldiers went up the city wall to carry the wounded down. On the way, someone was splashed by the catapult. The slave soldiers on the side helped the injured companion down, and they entered the door of the city defense warehouse inside the pass to treat the wounded.

The battle lasted for more than two hours. The 200 support team members took turns to replace the first batch of defenders on the city wall. Another 200 defenders in the second batch of the military camp were added to the first batch of support team, so that the support team has always maintained about 500 people.

Hua Kai also saw that the other side could not pose any threat to Baoyu Pass without sending out elite troops and masters. This kind of test was meaningless to the elite White Tiger Legion. It was not until the afternoon that the Donghu army seemed dissatisfied with the results of today's siege and began to insert some elite soldiers into the slave soldiers.
