"Then what is father planning to defend?" Liu Yunxuan's eyes sparkled as she asked.
"Jiatian Pass is currently commanded by Woodgod Kingdom, which means that Princess Lingluo will personally lead the troops to attack them. Even if we send troops to support her, I'm afraid that it will be very difficult to hold on, unless I personally lead the troops, Princess Lingluo will expect that I will personally lead the troops to support her, so, I must be prepared. This Yishui Pass was the gateway to the Yi City, so even if one lost the other two stages, one must not lose the Yishui Pass as well. Although the Jiatian Pass is more dangerous, the two armies have already fought for a few days, and not only our Crimson Dragon Army, the great army of Woodgod Kingdom is also in a state of exhaustion, so, if we can preserve our Jiatian Pass, we can at least guarantee that their Jiatian Pass will not fall for a short period of time, and wait for reinforcements to arrive. At that time, even if we lose our Xialong Pass, if we have enough forces, we can snatch it back very quickly. " With just a few words, Liu Cheng immediately understood the pros and cons of the three stages as well as the current situation. He was indeed Red Dragon Legion's Grand Commander.
"Since that's the case, then let me lead the troops to support the Jiatian Pass! No matter what, I will still hold onto the Jiatian Pass … " Liu Yunxuan didn't hesitate to introduce herself. Causing the Crimson Dragon Army to fall into their current predicament was something she couldn't let go of, so she wanted to do her best to make up for it.
"If we want to preserve Yishui Pass, we'll need to retain at least ten thousand troops. In other words, the amount of reinforcements for Jiatian Pass is less than five thousand. Are you sure you can hold? If we fail to defend, we might even get wiped out! " Liu Cheng's expression was solemn and he wanted to say something, but he stopped himself. Whether or not he could preserve Jiatian Pass, that was the key. However, if he failed to defend, the outcome of Jiatian Pass's defense would be disastrous. Thus, he did not want his own daughter to take the risk.
"Besides me, is there anyone else in the Crimson Dragon Army that is confident?" Of course, Liu Yunxuan understood her father's intentions. However, as the Vice Commander of the Red Dragon Legion, she definitely could not shrink back at this point of time. " Liu Yunxuan had already made up her mind.
"But …" Liu Cheng naturally knew that it would be like this, but he was also betting everything on this support Jiatian Pass, if he didn't succeed, he would die. Furthermore, Liu Yunxuan was his only daughter. If anything happened to her, how would he be able to face Liu Yunxuan's mother, who had already passed away?
"Grand Commander, I am willing to go with the vice-commander …" Just then, a wave of crisp and clean Dainty Voice s came from outside the door.
Liu Cheng and Liu Yunxuan turned around and saw Ma Lan walking in.
"Cousin?" Glimmers danced in Liu Yunxuan's eyes like water.
"Lan, you're going as well?" Liu Cheng frowned again. He treated Ma Lan like his own daughter. If all of them were to go, he would naturally be more worried.
"Cousin sister, you should stay in the Yishui Pass to assist father." Of course, Liu Yunxuan didn't want Ma Lan to follow her to the Jiatian Pass. After all, she was aware of the dangers of this trip.
"How can we do that? I must go. I hope that Grand Commander can agree to it! " Ma Lan immediately knelt on one knee as she pleaded.
Seeing that, Liu Cheng immediately walked over and helped Ma Lan up. He sighed and said, "The temper of you two sisters isn't inherited from anyone! Alright, all of you can go now. But, you must remember, if the situation is really not good, you must not forcefully endure it! "
Liu Yunxuan and Ma Lan smiled at each other and immediately nodded.
"In addition, I've ordered Commander Ti and Commander Cao to go with you. In addition, I also want to send twenty Spirit Controller. They can be of use in this critical moment!" Liu Cheng pondered for a moment before continuing.
"Then, Cousin, you can go down and prepare." I'll be right there! " Liu Yunxuan immediately nodded at Ma Lan.
Ma Lan immediately bowed and left.
"Father, have you talked to Ji Wushuang before?" Seeing that Ma Lan had left, Liu Yunxuan asked her father. These few days, she had been so busy that she had almost forgotten about Ji Wushuang's matter.
"No. When I arrived at Xialong Pass, she was already gone without a trace. " Liu Cheng shook his head as his sharp eyes focused.
"It seems like she purposely hid from her father. Her purpose in coming to find Bai Yuhao is indeed very suspicious!" Liu Yunxuan asked with a frown on her face.
"Let's put this matter aside first. The most important thing right now is to not allow the great Woodgod Kingdom army to step into the territory of the Holy Dragon Kingdom!" Even though Liu Cheng was very concerned about Ji Wushuang's motive for coming to the Crimson Dragon Army, as Grand Commander was from Red Dragon Legion, he naturally cared more about the overall situation.
"I see. "Then I'll go!" Liu Yunxuan understood.
"Take care of yourself and Lan. Be careful!" Liu Cheng revealed a fatherly expression as he warned.
Liu Yunxuan nodded and gave her father a reassuring glance before she turned around and left.
On the very next day, Liu Yunxuan brought Ma Lan and the other three Thousand Horsemen Commanders, with less than five thousand troops under her command, and rushed straight towards the Jiatian Pass. When they arrived at Jiatian Pass, it was already dusk. The flames of war had been ignited all over the Jiatian Pass, and corpses were strewn all over the ground, covering the ground with blood and sand. It was extremely tragic!
Taking advantage of the fact that the Woodgod Kingdom army had yet to launch another wave of attack, Liu Yunxuan immediately led the army to meet with the Crimson Dragon Army led by Elite Cavalry Commander Ruyun of the Red Dragon Legion.
"Vice Commander, your subordinate was incompetent and nearly lost his Jiatian Pass. Please bestow punishment upon me!" The moment Rui Yun saw Liu Yunxuan, he immediately knelt down and cupped his hands in a begging posture.
"Get up, now is not the time to pursue this matter. What we need now is to be united as one and protect this Jiatian Pass!" Liu Yunxuan stood on top of the city walls that had been charred black by the flames, and shouted loudly while looking at the Woodgod Kingdom army that was preparing to attack the next wave.
Instantly, within the Jiatian Pass, all the soldiers who were originally low in morale responded in unison, their momentum soaring to the heavens!
The next day, the day had just lit up and the Woodgod Kingdom army once again surged forth like a torrential river, launching a new round of fierce offensive against the Jiatian Pass. Relying on their strength that was more than twice that of the Crimson Dragon Army, they crazily charged forward, wave after wave, attacking the defensive line that Liu Yunxuan had set up overnight.
Under Liu Yunxuan's command, Ma Lan, Ti Dan, and a few other thousand-horse commanders took turns leading troops out of the city to meet the enemy head on.
