With a sinister smile on his face, Bai Guhan stared at Yinma Pass in front of him. This city originally belonged to him in Eastern Xia. He said to the middle-aged civil servant in a gentle tone: "Sir, how about we start attacking the city now? Now I have a large army." We have already reached the city, and there are less than 100,000 defenders at Yinma Pass, so we can easily capture them?"
"Your Highness, please be patient. I still need to wait for a while." The middle-aged civil servant saluted respectfully.
Bai Guhan was not angry when he heard the middle-aged civil servant's words, and stood aside obediently.
The middle-aged civil servant was probably in his forties. He was not handsome in appearance. His thin face and fair skin made him look a bit frail. Looking at the style of his official uniform, this frail official was actually a high-ranking official in the Eastern Xia Dynasty.
His name is Qi Guangren. Although this official is fighting with Bai Guyan at this time, he is not Bai Guyhan's. He is the teacher of Bai Lingshuang, the eldest son of the King of Dongxia. His current official position is the Young Master of the East Palace.
In order to prevent his two sons from fighting each other, the King of Dongxia established his eldest son Bai Lingshuang as the crown prince early. His second son Bai Guhan was sent to the Valley of Beasts for training since he was a child. Bai Guhan was not only extremely talented in beast control and training, but also enjoyed it. Among them, no interest in the throne was shown.
The two brothers are about the same age, but grew up in completely different environments. Bai Lingshuang learned the art of kingship since she was a child, read poetry and books, and studied military strategies. Although she also practiced martial arts, her talent was not very high. She was only in her twenties. The strength of the mid-Jingjing realm.
This coalition should have been personally commanded by the Crown Prince Bai Lingshuang, but now it was ostensibly commanded by Bai Guhan. In fact, Bai Guhan also had to obey Qi Guangren, the young master of the East Palace.
Qi Guangren passed the Eastern Xia imperial examination at the age of eighteen and entered the court as an official with the second place. It has been more than 20 years now. This man is knowledgeable and good at judging situations. He is highly valued by the king of Eastern Xia. He was appointed as the young master of the East Palace seven years ago. , began to teach Bai Lingshuang knowledge.
Bai Lingshuang was taught by Qi Guangren to be very knowledgeable and like a scholar, which made Qi Guangren even more satisfied with Bai Xuanhui, the king of Eastern Xia.
There are rumors that the King of Dongxia once told Bai Lingshuang that when Bai Lingshuang came to the throne, he would make Qi Guangren the prime minister. Although this is a rumor, it comes from the palace and is extremely credible.
Just a few days ago, Qi Guangren went to the temporary palace of the King of Eastern Xia alone to present his plans. Bai Xuanhui nodded frequently and smiled happily after seeing a set of combat plans for Taichu's southern expedition.
After reading the memorial, Bai Xuanhui sent away all the waiters, leaving only him and Qi Guangren to talk for a long time.
The result of the conversation with Shang Shuhe was that after Dongxia and Qinghe reunited, Bai Guhan was nominally the commander-in-chief, but all actions had to be obeyed by Qi Guangren. Bai Guhan was not angry after receiving the order from his father, and accepted it happily. In the eyes of Bai Xuanhui, Here, my second son almost never goes against his wishes.
While the two were waiting quietly, a young girl ran up to the two of them angrily. When Bai Guhan saw the girl, his eyes were full of doting.
The girl is about sixteen or seventeen years old. She is not tall, only about five feet tall, but she has a very hot figure. She is slender where she should be and round where she should be. She is convex and curvy, especially on her chest. The jade rabbit is so huge that it almost bursts through the clothes.
A woman with such a figure has a childish face, a smart mouth and nose, and a pair of big and lively eyes. Maybe it is because of her age. Although she is not fat, she still has some baby fat on her face, which makes her look more attractive. favorite.
She was wearing loose leather clothing that looked like the skin of some kind of black python. A large area of skin on her body was exposed. The attractive ravine formed by the squeeze of two jade rabbits was so eye-catching. This cool, tight-fitting leather dress made her perfectly concave and convex curves more three-dimensional.
On the girl's shoulder, a huge, strange-looking rat stood obediently. Its eyes were very smart, and it showed extremely high intelligence at a glance. The girl also held a big yellow dog as strong as an army in her hand. Look. He doesn't look like an ordinary beast.
"Guhan, it's been so long, why haven't you attacked the city yet? Those spirit beasts have all eaten the bloodthirsty pills, and they won't be able to suppress them if it continues any longer!" The girl pouted dissatisfied.
"Ling'er, don't be impatient, it's coming soon." Bai Guhan smiled and touched the girl's head.
The girl pushed his hand away and said angrily: "How many times have I told you, people hate having their heads touched the most. Don't think that just because they like you, you can do whatever you want! Humph!"
Bai Guhan couldn't help laughing when he saw the girl with her hands on her hips and her arrogant look. His eyes were full of doting.
The girl's appearance made Qi Guangren smile at the side. After a moment, he put away his smile and said seriously: "Ling'er, go back and tell the Valley Master to start attacking the city immediately!"
"Okay, I'll go right away, Gu Han, let's go out and have fun after the battle!" The girl left in a skip, Qi Guangren said: "This girl is good, Your Highness has good taste!"
Bai Guhan was a little embarrassed and said, "Sir, please stop making fun of me."
This girl's name is Ji Ling'er, and she is the only daughter of the owner of the Valley of Beasts. Because of the owner's favor, the entire Valley of Beasts treats her as a treasure.
Bai Guhan and her were childhood sweethearts, and they naturally came together when they grew up. However, Ji Linger didn't seem to understand much about men and women. The two of them were more like playmates most of the time, but Bai Guhan was happy with it.
At this moment, a scout hurried over and said: "Report! The Taichu Army has left the city and is moving towards Wuwei Pass."
Qi Guangren nodded slightly and said: "It seems that Sun Changqing has already arrived at Xiaguan City, and Lin Chuhe has also retreated to Wuwei Pass as expected."
A trace of doubt flashed in Bai Guhan's eyes: "Sir, what if the Taichu Army suddenly changes direction and attacks Yinma Pass?"
The corners of Qi Guangren's mouth raised slightly and he said: "What should we do? Of course we will hit you head-on. If Lin Chuhe dares to come to Yinma Pass, Taichu will definitely lose!"
Bai Guhan was puzzled. He pondered for a moment and finally said: "Sir, according to common sense, when Taichu attacks, our army will be attacked from two sides. The Taichu army will definitely leave a heavy force behind in Xiaguan City, and General Sun's army will not be able to support it for a while. Come here, when the time comes, we will be the ones who get beaten passively..."
Qi Guangren said with an enigmatic face: "Your Highness, how long will it take for you and us to capture Yinma Pass?"
Bai Guhan thought for a while and then said: "Yinma Pass is such an important pass. The Taichu Army will defend it at all costs. Even if our army has an absolute strength advantage, it will take half a day to completely capture Yinma Pass."
Qi Guangren smiled and shook his head gently: "No need, no need, it will be soon!"
Bai Guhan looked shocked. Before he could speak, he saw a clever figure swimming towards him at an extremely fast speed. It was a green snake.
Qi Guangren leaned down, held the green snake in his hand, and gently stroked the green snake's head with his fingers. The green snake accepted Qi Guangren's touch obediently, spitting out the letter with an expression of enjoyment on his face.
"The time has come, Your Highness, give the order to attack the city!" Qi Guangren said excitedly. As a civil servant, this was his first real battlefield.
Bai Guhan shouted: "Give me the order to attack the city immediately!"
When the messengers heard the words, they immediately got busy, and the entire coalition army began to take action, operating according to the tactics they had already known.
"Here we come!" Although Yang Wenzhong's face was ugly, his eyes were full of determination. He shouted loudly: "The enemy is attacking! The whole army is on alert and guard the south!"
The archers from both sides began to shoot at each other first, and the arrows were as dense as a rainstorm.
Yang Wenzhong drew out his sword to block the arrows and retreated towards the monkey. He walked up to the monkey and said, "Brother Yinghuo, I have something to ask of you!"
At this time, the monkey only took out two ordinary daggers, and quickly scattered the arrows that were shot in front of him. After hearing Yang Wenzhong's words, he said: "Please, general, I will live up to my instructions within my ability."
Yang Wenzhong whispered into the monkey's ear: "This battle will be lost. This general only has one son. If possible, please brother Yinghuo find a way to rescue the filial minister!"
The monkey was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect the old general to be so pessimistic about the situation.
After thinking for a moment, the monkey said: "General, I promise you!"
Yang Wenzhong nodded with satisfaction. After the monkey finished speaking, he immediately used his body skills and disappeared.
After the exchange of arrows for a period of time, a large number of spiritual birds rushed up from the Dongxia troops. They flew over the city wall and landed in large numbers of Dongxia soldiers. The two sides began to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
When Yang Wenzhong saw that the enemy had already attacked, he immediately led his men to fight with the enemy.
The two sides were locked in a bitter battle, with no one able to win the other immediately.
All kinds of birds and beasts either attacked from above, or flew directly on the city wall, climbed over the walls, and jumped onto the city wall.
These beasts have red eyes and are extremely fierce. A group of beast masters wearing ancient monster skins are interspersed among them, commanding the spirit beasts to continuously kill the Yinma Pass defenders.
Ordinary soldiers are no match for the spirit beasts and suffer heavy casualties. Only the masters in the army can deal with the spirit beasts.
The girl named Ji Ling'er was also on the city wall, and her two spiritual beasts were fully in combat mode.
The big yellow dog's muscles bulged all over its body, and its size surged again. It pounced on the Taichu Army even faster than a lion.
An electric arc could be vaguely seen on the hair of the giant rat. It was extremely fast. It flashed past the Taichu Army and left a hideous wound on the soldier's neck.
"Dian, go bite that!"
"Dahuang, that guy is coming, rush!"
Ji Ling'er held a scimitar but did not take action. She kept pointing behind the two spirit beasts. Her command was a bit confusing, but the two spirit beasts obeyed her words.
Both of her spirit beasts actually have master-level combat power, so they are naturally invincible in the chaos.
Behind Ji Ling'er stood a middle-aged man wearing a bloated animal skin robe. He kept scanning the surrounding situation with sharp eyes, but he did not take action.
As masters continue to jump off the spiritual birds, the masters of the Eastern Xia Flame Army, the beast masters, the Qinghe divine masters, the ghost warriors, and the two forces attacking the city have taken a stand on the city wall, and there are many more. The master rushed to the city gate and fought fiercely with the defenders.
