The Donghu elites did cause some trouble for the White Tiger Legion, but it was just trouble.
A Donghu elite in Energy Realm blocked the long spear of the White Tiger Legion, but his body fell back. He saw that he was only two meters away from the wall. With a roar, he jumped to the top of the wall.
The defending soldier saw this and called for help from his companions. The captain behind him was a late stage Qi Transformation Realm cultivator. He raised his spear and charged at the Energy Refinement Realm cultivator. Before the Donghu Energy Refinement Realm cultivator could get close to the wall, three spears stabbed at him. His physical energy formed a long blade as he charged at a soldier. But before he could reach the wall, he was stabbed by several spears. His physical energy created a soft explosion around him. The Energy Refinement Realm cultivator lost the momentum to continue forward and fell from the wall dozens of meters high.
The backup team that was ready at any time quickly sent out a company of one hundred elite soldiers. These soldiers were all above Qi Transformation Realm. They came to the wall and quickly drove the enemy down, not giving the enemy a chance to get up the wall.
When it was evening, the war drums for the Donghu army to retreat sounded. The Donghu army retreated like the tide. The defense of the city today ended like this.
Hua Kai went to the city defense battle room and saw Yu Jun doing today's battle statistics while arranging for the slave soldiers to take care of the corpses outside the city. If the corpses were not taken care of in this season, it could cause a plague.
"How are the losses of the White Tiger Legion today?" Hua Kai asked.
"The White Tiger Legion has 17 dead and 54 wounded. Six of them are seriously injured.
The slave soldiers have 82 dead and 244 wounded. As long as the enemy does not send large numbers of Xiantian Realm cultivators, the pressure on the city defense will not be great, "Yu Jun said easily.
"Then what if the enemy sends large numbers of Xiantian Realm cultivators?
How will the White Tiger Legion respond? "Hua Kai looked at Yu Jun's tone and couldn't help but ask.
Yu Jun glanced at Hua Kai. He was the only Xiantian realm cultivator in the White Tiger Corps, and there were only thirty or so Mortal Realm cultivators. According to normal methods, they wouldn't be able to stop the enemy's attack.
"Leopard Jade Pass has 13,000 slave soldiers. If they dare to use the Xiantian realm as the core of the attack, these 10,000 slave soldiers will fill the city walls and Leopard Jade Pass will reveal its poisonous thorns." Yu Jun said coldly.
Even if ten Xiantian experts were to break into Leopard Jade Pass, facing the tens of thousands of people inside, what use would they be?
If they wanted to kill the slave soldiers, then so be it. As long as they were at the Innate Realm and were not afraid of being corroded by negative karma, they could kill as they pleased. The White Tiger Legion and the reserve troops would do their best to stop and kill the enemy's reinforcements. This was the White Tiger Legion's method of defeating the strong as the weak.
If the Donghu army dared to do this, and used all their elites to attack the walls of Leopard Jade Pass, would the Azure Dragon Corps outside the city give up such a chance?
Hua Kai was waiting inside Leopard Jade Pass for the Xiantian Realm experts to deliver themselves to his doorstep.
It was not that Hua Kai did not understand this, but when he heard Yu Jun so easily state the method to deal with the Donghu elite attack, he could not accept it!
In the following dozen days, the Donghu army would attack at dawn every day. The White Tiger Legion had suffered more than five hundred casualties as the enemy's attacks continued to increase. Yu Jun had tried to send the reserve troops, militia, and slaves to defend the front lines. In these days, the Leopard Jade Pass slave soldiers had suffered more than four thousand casualties, and the militia had suffered more than one thousand casualties.
The Donghu army had suffered more casualties. According to Yu Jun's estimates, the Donghu army had thrown down at least thirty thousand corpses outside Leopard Jade Pass. In these days, when the enemy sent their elites to attack the city, the Azure Dragon Corps had thought of ways to harass the enemy's rear. This had caused great damage to the enemy.
Even so, the Donghu King had not appeared. He seemed to be waiting for the soldiers inside Leopard Jade Pass to be slowly exhausted, and also seemed to be probing the situation at Leopard Jade Pass.
Hua Kai came to the command center of Leopard Jade Pass early in the morning and saw Yu Jun waiting for him there. Yesterday, they had discussed with Hua Zichen what the Donghu army might do. Some people started to suspect that the Donghu King was not in the army. The other had not appeared for so long, and the number of times the Xiantian Realm experts had attacked could be counted on one hand. It seemed that the other did not intend to end the battle so easily.
If the Donghu King led large numbers of Xiantian Realm experts to the Yan border, and this side just wanted to stabilize the Hua family, then if Hua Kai acted, the Azure Dragon Corps would have a great chance of winning in a frontal assault. At that time, the Hua family would be able to take down the Donghu army of three hundred thousand in one battle.
But if the Donghu King and high level Xiantian Realm experts were in the Donghu army, the Hua family would be at a great disadvantage.
Hua Kai did not fear Zhuji Realm experts, but he had not reached Zhuji Realm. He had not truly fought against one, and he could not guarantee that he could take down the other.
Then Hua Kai could only maintain the status quo and wait for news from the Yan. Regardless of whether the Donghu King would appear on the Yan border, as long as the Hua family maintained the status quo, they would not be defeated.
"Family Leader, today, the scouts have checked the changes in the position of the Donghu attacking army. The Donghu elites are standing in the front and rear armies. They may really want to fight to the death with us," Yu Jun said to Hua Kai.
"Regardless of whether the other is just acting for us to see, Leopard Jade Pass has to be defended carefully.
Send twenty thousand Highwillow City slave soldiers into the pass first!
If the other really attacks, we need to be prepared.
I still feel that the Donghu King will not go to the Yan. He is afraid of encountering the Yan king, "Hua Kai said.
Twenty thousand Highwillow City militia and fifty thousand slave soldiers had been waiting on the south side of Leopard Jade Pass for half a month. Now, in order to prevent the other from suddenly attacking with full force, Hua Kai had to make arrangements early.
He knew that if the Donghu King wanted to take Leopard Jade Pass, the most effective method was to suddenly attack, and lead the Donghu elites to quickly take down the walls.
As long as they took down the walls, they would have a chance to take down Leopard Jade Pass.
As expected, the Donghu attacking soldiers came to the walls faster than before. In just ten minutes, the walls were broken through. The White Tiger Army reinforcements hurried to meet them and push them down the walls. The other side's attack was very fierce today, and there were many Qi Transformation Realm and Energy Realm experts.
By noon, the White Tiger Army had sent out three teams of two hundred people to defend. The walls were covered with the corpses of soldiers from both sides. Suddenly, Hua Kai felt chaos on the walls. A Connate Realm expert quietly climbed up the walls and attacked, killing more than ten White Tiger soldiers. He took over a section of the walls that was five meters wide, and the Donghu soldiers behind him kept climbing up the walls. The more than ten Energy Realm experts of the White Tiger Army all acted to stop him, but they could not push the other off the walls, and many people were injured.
Yu Jun saw this and climbed up the walls, leading dozens of White Tiger Army elites to attack the other's breakthrough. The other soldiers were pushed to the walls and then pushed down. Waves of screams came from the foot of the walls.
The Connate Realm expert saw all the soldiers behind him being pushed down. He fought with many experts of the White Tiger Army and was wounded by Yu Jun. He turned and jumped off the walls.
The crisis on the walls was resolved. This time, the White Tiger Army lost almost a hundred people, but the Donghu army lost more than three hundred elites. Unless large numbers of Connate Realm experts attacked Leopard Jade Pass at the same time, it would be difficult to break through the walls.
The elites of the Donghu army continued to attack. The White Tiger Army moved all the corpses off the walls. Some soldiers fought for too long and were replaced by reinforcements. The other side tried a few more times with Connate Realm experts leading the attack, but they were not effective in the end.
They seemed to have detected all the trump cards of the White Tiger Army. On the second day, the other side still sent out elites to attack the city, and there were more and more Connate Realm experts.
This time, the other side sent out five Connate Realm experts, and chose to break through from five different positions on the walls. The White Tiger Army reacted quickly, and the soldiers fought with their lives, but two more Connate Realm experts broke through the defenses and climbed up the walls. Large numbers of enemy soldiers climbed up the walls, and the entire walls seemed to be in danger.
"Reserve team, prepare to enter the killing stage!" Yu Jun saw the danger on the walls but was not in a hurry, and calmly ordered.
At this time, the five hundred soldiers of the reserve team quickly entered a special door on the walls. Soon, there were screams outside the walls.
Countless small holes suddenly appeared outside Baoyu Pass. Long spears more than three meters long stabbed out of the small holes. The Donghu soldiers who were climbing were stabbed and fell down from the ladders. The people who were holding the ladders were injured when they fell to the ground.
There was a vacuum in the Donghu soldiers who climbed up the walls. The Donghu soldiers who climbed up the walls had no follow-up. Yu Jun led the five hundred soldiers of the White Tiger Army up the walls. Soon, these soldiers who climbed up the walls were killed. Some Donghu soldiers who looked like they would be alone if they did not leave chose to jump off the walls. One of the Donghu Connate Realm experts was surrounded and killed. The others saw that the attack had failed, and jumped off the walls to escape.
In the arrow towers of Leopard Jade Pass, the archers of the White Tiger Army shot out countless arrows. While there were not many of them, they caused great damage to the Donghu slave soldiers. When the Donghu soldiers on the walls of Leopard Jade Pass were cleaned up, the soldiers of Leopard Jade Pass pushed down all the enemy ladders, and there were shouts of victory coming from the walls.
Hua Kai saw this and was reassured. Just now, he had prepared to act, but Yu Jun told him to wait.
The White Tiger Army was one of the four major armies of High Willow Commandery. All the soldiers were professional soldiers. They would undergo all kinds of military training every day, and they had their own way of dealing with any danger.
Just now, the walls of Leopard Jade Pass seemed dangerous. The White Tiger Army had less than a hundred casualties, and more slave soldiers had died.
The Donghu army had more than two thousand casualties, and more than half of them were elite troops.
Entering the middle of the sixth month, the Donghu army saw that the elites they sent out would not be able to take down Leopard Jade Pass, and their own casualties would be great.
They knew that the only way to take down Leopard Jade Pass was to weaken the defenses of Leopard Jade Pass. They would occasionally send one or two Connate Realm experts to attack the White Tiger Army on the walls to create a chance for the slave soldiers to climb up. They would not stay on the walls. Just like this, the Donghu army was stopped outside Leopard Jade Pass and could not advance. The Hua family and the Donghu army seemed to be in a battle of attrition.
