Soon, an incense stick was lit and placed in the incense burner off to the side.
They did not know what to do, and they were all afraid of death, but they did not want to be deserters, because Bai Yuhao was right. If, because they were deserters, in the end, their families and friends were killed by Spirit Clan, then the condemnation in their hearts would be the most terrifying!
Just when all the soldiers were hesitating, Zhao Zilong suddenly shouted, "Everyone, we must not become deserters, and once we become deserters, how will we have the face to live on in the future, how will we explain it to our parents and siblings, and since we have come as soldiers, we are already prepared to die in battle, furthermore, we have no reason to be deserters at this time of crisis, and we have followed Commander Wang for so long, he has never treated us unfairly, moreover, he often asks us humbly, just how can we face our own conscience if we become deserters!"
"We are not deserters! We must adhere to our Tiger Whisker Pass … " Zhao Zilong shouted again.
His shout echoed. Soon, all the soldiers were cheering in unison with high morale.
Of course, this was also the scene that Bai Yuhao wanted to see the most. However, Zhao Zilong's performance was beyond his expectations. It seemed that he really did not waste his time on Zhao Zilong.
Wang Zhentian was the most surprised. He didn't expect that Bai Yuhao's few words, coupled with Zhao Zilong's heartfelt words, would actually arouse the originally low morale. Even after leading the army for so many years, it was rare for him to see such a scene.
"Commander Wang, the Spirit Clan Army will probably attack in three days, so we still have three days to prepare. I want to temporarily overstep my authority and train the soldiers in Commander Wang's place in these three days." Bai Yuhao then said to Wang Zhentian.
"Is Spirit King of Profound Dragon really that confident?" Wang Zhentian looked at Bai Yuhao. As matters stood, he did not care about any matters of face, as long as Bai Yuhao was able to protect his Tiger Whisker Pass, he would be willing to serve Wang Zhentian as if he were his own ancestor.
"Of course, otherwise, why would I come back?" Bai Yuhao's gaze was assured.
"Then I'll believe Spirit King of Profound Dragon. I'll temporarily give you the position of vice commander, and also hand over the command of the Tiger Whisker Pass Army to you." Wu has high hopes for Bai Yuhao.
"Thank you for Commander Wang's support!" Bai Yuhao cupped his hands and said.
"I should be the one thanking you. It would be shameful, but if it was me, I'm afraid that facing the Spirit Clan army that is far above us, I would already be afraid before the battle." Commander Wang spoke out the truest thoughts in his heart.
"This is human nature, how can it be shameful!" Bai Yuhao also understood Wang Zhentian's thoughts. After all, if one had to resist Spirit Clan troops that were at least thirty thousand strong with less than twenty thousand of strength, even if they were battle-hardened and experienced commanders, it was impossible for them to not change their expressions and face them calmly.
"Therefore, Spirit King of Profound Dragon's ability to raise the morale of the soldiers in such a difficult situation is truly admirable!" Wang Zhentian sighed.
"To tell Commander Wang the truth, this isn't the most difficult battle I've experienced. So, for me, it's not difficult to fight with fewer people!" Bai Yuhao revealed his secret to Wang Zhentian slightly, which also allowed Wang Zhentian to be at ease.
Wang Zhentian was surprised for a moment. Apparently, he understood the hidden meaning behind Bai Yuhao's words. Could it be that Bai Yuhao was hiding some other identity?
On this side, after Wang Zhentian gave the order to promote Bai Yuhao to the vice commander position, Bai Yuhao took over the forces of Tiger Whisker Pass and immediately began training.
Of course, his training was no ordinary training, but military training. In this kind of critical time of danger, the Arcane Art of Formation of Soldiers could be used.
According to the power and complexity of the array, the Arcane Art of Formation of Soldiers was divided into three levels. The third level was the lowest, and the first level was the highest.
However, because there were only three days left, Bai Yuhao could not allow these Tiger Whisker Pass warriors to practice the Arcane Art of Formation of Soldiers s that were too complicated. Therefore, amongst the hundred different kinds of formations, he chose three level three ones, which were the main attacking ones: the Wandering Dragon Formation, the main defending shield array, and the attacking and defending simultaneously, the Phantom Transformation Formation.
These three formations were the simplest third level formations within the Arcane Art of Formation of Soldiers. They did not have much of a change, but if unleashed properly, it could achieve the effect of one against three.
In other words, three thousand men were enough to fight against ten thousand men.
It was impossible for Bai Yuhao to let the Tiger Whisker Pass Army get used to these three kinds of formations, so he simply divided the Tiger Whisker Pass Army into three groups, and named them Wandering Army, Shield Army, and Illusory Army.
After the division was completed, Bai Yuhao would teach three different groups of troops separately. Furthermore, he would train nonstop for two days and two nights.
Because they knew that they were about to face a tough battle that concerned the survival of their Tiger Whisker Pass, the officers and soldiers did not fear to work hard and went all out.
On the third day, the three teams had basically mastered their own formations. They would only know the results once they entered the battlefield.
Just as Bai Yuhao predicted, the Spirit Clan Army indeed sent ten thousand of their vanguard troops to call for a battle on the third day's morning.
"Tiger Whisker Pass Commander, hurry up and leave the city and send yourself to your death!" The vice commander of the Spirit Clan vanguard held a long axe in his hand, his entire face filled with beard and beard, and his appearance was extremely ugly. However, the strength of the Spirit Infant Stage middle rank was not to be looked down upon.
"Commander Wang, let me fight!" Vice Commander Ma volunteered.
Wang Zhentian immediately glanced at Bai Yuhao, obviously asking Bai Yuhao's opinion.
"Let Vice Commander Ma have a try. Vice Commander Ma should know how to use the Wandering Dragon Formation, right?" Bai Yuhao asked Vice Commander Ma.
"Of course." Because there were only two vice commanders in Tiger Whisker Pass now, other than Bai Yuhao, there was only Vice Commander Ma. Thus, in these two days, Bai Yuhao had specially familiarized Vice Commander Ma with using three types of formations.
"Go." Bai Yuhao nodded.
After that, Vice Commander Ma immediately went down the city walls, and quickly gathered Wandering Army, leaving the city to fight.
"Since Spirit Clan has violated my Human Clan, don't be so arrogant, state your name, I, Old Ma, won't kill any nameless people!" Vice Commander Ma's aura also shook. No matter what, his Spirit Infant Stage was low level and he still had some confidence.
"Haha, I am the uglier one. Remember!" The Spirit Clan Vanguard was led by a Vice Commander. After reporting their names, they immediately led the ten thousand vanguard troops to launch an attack.
"Set up the formation!" With Vice Commander Ma's order, the Wandering Army behind him quickly spread out like a long dragon and began to revolve around Vice Commander Ma.
Waiting until the Spirit Clan's vanguard army approached, under the lead of several spirit practitioners, three hundred soldiers holding long spears suddenly, like snakes leaving their lairs, they charged into the group of the Spirit Clan's vanguard, charging madly, directly piercing through the formation of the Spirit Clan's vanguard.
The Spirit Clan Vanguard did not expect that their formation would be pierced through so suddenly, and for a moment, they were flustered.
