C689 Yang Xuan Was Here
At the foot of Dragon Tooth Mountain, nearly a thousand soldiers were resting and reorganizing. If anyone came close, they would discover that among these thousand soldiers... Apart from a few dozen medical logistics soldiers, the rest of the soldiers were more or less injured.
And among this group of soldiers, there was a rather dignified soldier. Even though he was injured, because of the lack of military funding, most of these soldiers were four people in a tent. This soldier, who looked very different from the other soldiers, lived alone in a tent.
"General Qi, it's time for you to change your dressing."
A woman in a white robe walked in from outside the tent, holding a big bag in her hand. She came to the side of the man who was sitting by the window of the tent and looking at the north. The man heard the woman's voice and turned around to take a look. He said, "It's Dr. Li. Sorry to trouble you."
If it was Yang Xuan again, he would definitely be able to recognize this man. This man was the same man he met when he first went to Profound Gate Pass. He was the commander of Tiger Army, Qi Yulong. Before the Profound Gate Pass, Qi Yulong had rushed into the Barbarian Army with his soldiers as usual. Unfortunately, he was injured by the stray arrow. The arrow, which was made of hard bamboo and refined iron, pierced into Qi Yulong's left chest. It was only two fingers away from his heart. This two-finger wide distance saved Qi Yulong's life. But it also made him lose his combat strength.
Apart from that, what was worth mentioning was that he and Yang Xuan had ruined the grand plan of the ghost cultivators in Lo Capital. However, Ning Ziwei, who was severely injured because of this, had now fully recovered and returned to Profound Gate Pass. After Qi Yulong returned to the back to recuperate, the Tiger Army was under Zhou Fengmiao's personal management.
Although he had survived the arrow, because the location of their injuries was too dangerous. Qi Yulong's heart was more or less injured. If he were to fight with the Barbarian Soldier again... * Hong Long...... * But even so, Qi Yulong still insisted on leading the troops. After Zhou Fengmiao gave the order, Qi Yulong reluctantly retreated to the back.
"It would be great if that brat called Yang Xuan was here. I'm sure he has a way to withstand the pressure from the Barbarian Army, and find a way to make the Barbarian Clan suffer heavy losses."
Although Yang Xuan was just like a kid who hadn't even fully grown up when he first arrived in the Profound Gate Pass, Qi Yulong still felt that he was still a kid. However, after Yang Xuan had taken care of seventy thousand people of the Barbarian Clan in just half a year, Qi Yulong had always been a stubborn old man who only cared about strength. In his heart, he was fully convinced of Yang Xuan's abilities. It was only because of his reputation that he didn't show it.
Another fifty miles ahead of the wounded and recuperating army of Profound Gate Pass was the Falling Blade Cliff. The valley below the Falling Blade Cliff was a typical terrain where one man could hold off tens of thousands of soldiers. The opening on both sides of the valley was very big, but the center of the valley was indeed narrow to the point where only a few people could walk side by side.
On the mountaintop of the Falling Blade Cliff, the leader of Greedy Wolf Army, Tan Lang, who was the most unkempt among the three generals of the Profound Gate Pass, was standing at the edge of the cliff and looking into the distance. Greedy Wolf Army was personally led by Greed. Perhaps it would be considered very good if the other generals could have five thousand personal soldiers under their command. However, Tan Lang was able to lead an army of fifty thousand personal soldiers. This was unprecedented in the history of Great Wei.
Almost everyone in the fifty thousand Greedy Wolf Army had a deep understanding of Tan Lang's style of fighting and guerrilla warfare. It was a method to make the enemy run for their lives. He had thoroughly implemented the tactic of a pack of wolves, but he didn't want to face him head on. In the eyes of other generals, this tactic of setting up a formation might be the hardest tactic to use, but in the hands of the Greedy Wolf Army, it was the most difficult tactic to use. It was displayed to the fullest extent. It was also because of this tactic that it was broken in Profound Gate Pass. After the Tiger Army, who had been fighting for the defending troops of Profound Gate Pass, suffered heavy injuries, the Greedy Wolf Army relied on their agility over and over again. They forcefully delayed the Barbarian Army's footsteps. Even so, the Greedy Wolf Army had suffered heavy casualties during the battle. The original fifty thousand men army was now only left with thirty thousand men.
Zhou Fengmiao and Ning Ziwei stood next to the highest peak of the Falling Blade Cliff, quietly waiting for Tan Lang to report the news to them. Tan Lang's left eye shone with a strange light, and one of his pupils became a little strange. This was an unpopular skill called Eagle Eye. It was similar to how Yang Xuan used Little Black's strength to gather information.
Before entering the army, Greed was once a fugitive from a small country far away from the Great Wei. The people from that country did not have much talent in cultivation, but they were proficient in all kinds of strange moves. And those moves were also brought over by Tan Lang.
"Tan Lang, how's the situation at the back of Falling Blade Cliff? How many people from the Barbarian Clan are still alive?"
Zhou Fengmiao asked anxiously when he saw Tan Lang turning his head around. To be praised as the guardian of the Great Wei border for more than ten years, Zhou Fengmiao's army was something that the other marshals of the Great Wei could not envy. Even so, under the circumstances of doubling their forces, Zhou Fengmiao still suffered a great loss at the hands of the Barbarian Clan.
Tan Lang shook his head slightly and said to Zhou Fengmiao, "The situation isn't looking good, although I don't know the exact number. I can see that there are still tens of thousands of elite soldiers preparing for battle at the back of Barbarian Clan. Moreover, they have been waiting patiently for a period of time. I think that their combat strength has been preserved very well. "
Upon hearing Greed's words, Zhou Fengmiao's expression became even uglier. He said, "What should we do? The pass below the Falling Blade Valley. It can devour thousands of our soldiers every day, and most of them died on the spot. Even the wounded did not leave a few for us. If this continues, our troops will not be able to hold on any longer. All of them will be wiped out!"
Ning Ziwei, who had been standing beside Zhou Fengmiao, could not help but ask, "Have the soldiers sent to contact the Imperial Court received the news? Right now, our troops are suffering from hunger and cold, so we can only eat some wild animals in the Liuyun Mountain Range. If this continued, even if the Barbarian Clan's troops were not taken into consideration, the soldiers are going to starve to death."
Zhou Fengmiao shook his head and said, "I have already used my magic weapon to contact my brother, but the capital has just calmed down these two days. I haven't received any specific news yet."
"Wait, something seems to be flying over there."
Tan Lang suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the sky to the south of the group. The two of them looked up and saw a black figure rapidly approaching.
