Of course, even though he had recaptured Tiger Whisker Pass, now was not the time to be careless. Wang Zhentian immediately redeployed his defenses, because he knew that they were about to face the berserk counterattack from the Spirit Clan army.
After re-deploying the defenses, a day later, the scouts sent by Wang Zhentian also sent back a report, saying that the army of Spirit Clan led by Tiandu was already more than three kilometers away, and would soon arrive at the city gates. Moreover, it seemed that they did not plan to rest, as they could attack at any time.
"Is there still no news from Spirit King of Profound Dragon?" Wang Zhentian asked Vice Commander Ma immediately after hearing the report.
"Not yet." Vice Commander Ma shook his head.
"Could something have happened to them?" Wang Zhentian was nervous as he revealed a worried look. With his current ability, he might not be able to lead the rest of the troops to defend the Tiger Whisker Pass. Therefore, he felt that Bai Yuhao might be their only hope.
"I don't think so. This Spirit King of Profound Dragon is extremely resourceful, he will definitely be able to avoid danger, but, doesn't he lead a thousand man army?" If there are no shortcuts, their journey should be similar to the Spirit Clan army. " Vice Commander Ma immediately analyzed.
"That's true, I hope Spirit King of Profound Dragon can get back in time." Wang Zhentian nodded slightly.
On this side, the thousand man army led by Bai Yuhao was actually not far from the Tiger Whisker Pass. However, he did not have any plans to let this unit return to the Tiger Whisker Pass, because he still needed it to complete another mission.
"Zi Long." Bai Yuhao called Zhao Zilong to his side.
"Brother, do you have any instructions?" Zhao Zilong knew that Bai Yuhao called him because it was something important.
"The Spirit Clan army should arrive at the Tiger Whisker Pass very soon. If my guess is correct, they shouldn't be resting, and should be attacking the Tiger Whisker Pass from the side when Commander Wang and the rest aren't stable. Therefore, under this situation, their rear rations must be left unguarded!" Bai Yuhao said.
"Big brother, are you planning on sneaking an attack on their grain?" Zhao Zilong immediately understood.
"That's right. However, I must rush back to Tiger Whisker Pass to lend a hand to Commander Wang. Therefore, I need someone to help me complete this mission!" Bai Yuhao gestured.
"What Big Brother means is …" Zhao Zilong obviously understood and revealed a surprised expression.
"I need you to help me complete this quest. Are you confident?" Right now, the only one Bai Yuhao could trust was Zhao Zilong, and he also believed that Zhao Zilong could complete this mission.
"I …" Zhao Zilong was obviously lacking in confidence.
"A manly man, don't stutter. It's still impossible!" Bai Yuhao gave Zhao Zilong a choice.
"Alright, I definitely won't let you down, even if it means risking my life." Zhao Zilong's chest straightened up.
Don't worry, I won't let you fight alone. I will leave Zi Yan to you, you just need to seize the moment to lead a group of soldiers to hold back the army that is protecting the grain. Bai Yuhao immediately said.
"Yes, Big Brother!" Zhao Zilong nodded resolutely.
After that, Bai Yuhao immediately gathered his thousand-man army to explain the situation. Because the soldiers admired Bai Yuhao so much that they worshipped him, naturally, they had no objection to his order.
"Everyone, whether or not we can preserve our Tiger Whisker Pass will depend on everyone here." Bai Yuhao looked around at the soldiers in front of him and said in an impassioned tone.
"Defend the Tiger Whisker Pass with your life …" The generals hollered in unison, their voices thunderous.
After that, Bai Yuhao had Zhao Zilong lead ambushes in advance to the place where he predicted the Spirit Clan army would probably set up camp and wait for an opportunity to move, while he continued to rush back to Tiger Whisker Pass.
Just as Bai Yuhao had arrived at Tiger Whisker Pass, the army of Spirit Clan led by Sky Capital had also arrived. As expected, they directly launched their attacks.
"Spirit King of Profound Dragon, you're finally back!" Wang Zhentian let out a sigh of relief when he saw Bai Yuhao rush over.
"What's the situation?" Bai Yuhao immediately asked.
"The entire Spirit Clan army is on the battlefield. Our city walls have already suffered from intense attacks. We probably won't be able to defend for another four hours." Wang Zhentian's expression turned serious.
"The enemy forces are still three times stronger than us, so we can't go head on against them. "Furthermore, we can't stay here and wait. Our goal is to stall for time and wait for reinforcements …" Bai Yuhao immediately analyzed the situation.
"Do you have any good ideas, Spirit King of Profound Dragon?" Mr Wu is now counting on Mr Liu to come up with a few more high-profile moves.
"The interior of the Tiger Whisker Pass is flat, and the houses are sparse. Therefore, we can't play tunnel guerrilla warfare." Bai Yuhao was also deep in thought at the moment. To find a countermeasure, what he needed to do now was to create a very favorable condition, which would allow him to withstand the attack of the Spirit Clan army and also delay time.
At this time, Bai Yuhao's gaze suddenly fell upon the two sides of the city wall, which were arched rocks. The Tiger Whisker Pass was narrow and wide, and the surrounding rocks were protruding and densely covered in green trees, making it look like a tiger's mouth and beard. That was why it was called the Tiger Whisker Pass.
The mouth of the in front of him was like a bloody mouth, but the scariest part about the mouth was still the moment it closed.
"I have an idea." Bai Yuhao suddenly had an idea.
"What plan does Spirit King of Profound Dragon have to retreat?" Wang Zhentian immediately asked.
"Explode the rocks on both sides of the city wall!" Bai Yuhao's gaze focused.
"Explosion the rocks on both sides of the wall? Wouldn't the city wall suffer as well … " Wang Zhentian was completely dumbfounded, because this city wall was the most important barrier of Tiger Whisker Pass. If the rocks on both sides were to explode, then the city wall would collapse as well.
"That's right, the city wall will definitely be damaged because of this, but once the walls on both sides of the wall are broken, the Tiger Whisker Pass will shrink as well, and the Spirit Clan army will not be able to pour in a large amount of their power into the Tiger Whisker Pass. Besides, if we use this explosion to blow up the rocks on both sides, it will also cause heavy casualties for the Spirit Clan army that barged in." Bai Yuhao said seriously.
"This!" Wang Zhentian immediately hesitated. Thinking about it carefully, this Bai Yuhao's countermeasure was indeed good, but it was also very risky.
"If Commander Wang feels that something is not right, then we will think of other countermeasures. However, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it in time!" Bai Yuhao immediately warned when he saw Wang Zhentian still hesitating.
"Alright, I'll do as you say." Wang Zhentian didn't have any other options at the moment.
