After leaving Jixia Academy, Cao Qiudao seemed to have disappeared from the world.

Even if his disciple Tian Chong sent people to look for him everywhere, he never appeared.

The reason is very simple, Cao Qiudao is afraid!

There were two people he was afraid of, one was Bai Zhong, and the other was the sword master who came to Jixia Academy that day. After thinking about it for a long time, he felt that the sword master was actually Bai Zhong.

They are the same person.

"Baizhong, not only is he a master of swordsmanship, he is also good at swordsmanship."

Cao Qiudao walked into Jixia Academy. This was his last return to the academy. Unless there were some special circumstances, he would not come back again.

He also has other things to do, such as for Qi State.

Facing the front of the Qin army, the Qi State probably couldn't defend itself. That idiot Tian Chong actually allowed Qi Wangjian to escape. The Qi State split into two parts and was then destroyed.

He cannot bear the responsibility of protecting Qi for the time being, but he will restore the country in the future, and he must restore the country.

Cao Qiudao thought so in his heart, and said: "Here comes someone!"

A disciple came up behind him and heard him say again: "You ask someone to see Zhang Liang again and tell him that we can still cooperate against Qin in the future. In addition, tell everyone in Jixia Academy to destroy the institutions left by the Mo family."

, all disbanded.”

"Disband?"

The disciple was surprised and said: "Sacrifice wine, why do you do this?"

Cao Qiudao said unhurriedly: "The country is about to be destroyed, and the academy cannot be saved. Where to go from now on, you make your own arrangements. If necessary, I will gather you again, let's go!"

He had other plans, but they were not as stupid as defending Jixia Academy or coexisting with Qi.

After a person dies, many things cannot be done.

He just wants to live and must live.

The disciple didn't know much about it, so he could only follow the instructions and pass on the news.

——

Baizhong returned to Yanmen Pass.

The Xiongnu army in the rear caught up with them in a mighty manner and stationed themselves about five miles outside Yanmen Pass.

The gate of Yanmenguan was closed, cutting off the Huns outside.

Touman did not immediately order an attack, but looked in the direction of the tower from a distance. Bai Zhong, who climbed onto the tower, could feel Touman Shanyu's angry eyes.

"General, I petition to go to war and repel the Huns!"

When Zhang Han saw the Huns outside, his hands were itchy and he wanted to go out and kill them to scare the Huns army.

Bai Zhong refused: "There is no need to go to war. Soon the Huns will come to attack our tower. Prepare the things to defend the city and hold on!"

They received the order, and soon someone was arranged to move all the things that should be prepared to guard the city to the tower.

Just waiting for the Huns to arrive.

Bai Zhong's guess was correct. In the evening of that day, the Huns had almost rested, and the army began to advance towards Yanmen Pass.

The siege method of this group of Huns was exactly the same as before winter. There was not so much skill and no emphasis on strategy. They just brought ladders and came over to attack.

"Tian Zhen, you go to the west, Zhang Han stays in the middle, Li Xin, you go to the east..."

Bai Zhong saw that the scale of Touman Shanyu's attack on the city was even greater than before the snowfall. Hundreds of ladders were prepared, but he did not dare to be careless and quickly made various arrangements.

If Yanmen Pass is lost, the consequences will be disastrous.

Various generals were mobilized one after another.

The soldiers guarding the city were ready. When the Huns climbed up through the ladder, they held long poles and stabbed them down hard.

The fighting took place up and down the tower.

Ying Shu was not idle, and also joined in the battle to defend the city, leading the soldiers to fight back against the enemy.

Bai Zhong took out his big bow and shot the Huns general who was commanding below the tower.

Yanmen Pass, which had been silent for more than two months, soon became lively. Both inside and outside the gate were filled with shouts of killing, and the smell of blood filled the air.

"General, there are Huns climbing up."

A captain said eagerly.

Bai Zhong looked up and saw that it was a weakly defended city tower on the east side, allowing the Huns to take advantage of it. He immediately said: "Send 10,000 more soldiers to strengthen the defense and kill all the Huns who came up."

Keep."

Yanmen Pass is located on the Great Wall of Zhao State. In addition to the location of the pass, the Great Wall of Zhao State is also very long and built in the mountains, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The Huns' strong attack was vigorous at first, and they were about to break through.

Later, it was discovered that Yanmen Pass was still unable to be taken, and as night fell, the Huns' blood gradually cooled down. As more and more people died, the siege was not as ferocious as it was at the beginning.

Once morale is lost, it will be difficult to concentrate troops to attack.

Touman Shanyu had to order a retreat.

"The Huns have retreated. Zhang Han, lead one hundred thousand troops and go out to pursue them."

Bai Zhong looked in the direction of the Huns' retreat and continued: "Li Xin led the cavalry to assist Zhang Han."

"only!"

The two of them took the order.

The infantry and cavalry walked out of the gate of Yanmenguan at the same time and attacked the retreating Huns soldiers.

The Huns really didn't have much discipline. They were in chaos during their retreat, which gave Zhang Han and Li Xin the opportunity to pursue them. The army plundered and killed the Huns who escaped, and nearly 40,000 to 50,000 people were able to withdraw.

The Huns wanted to counterattack, but the Qin army came and retreated quickly.

Three hundred thousand troops went south, and now there are less than two hundred thousand left.

Touman Chanyu gritted his teeth with hatred, thought for a long time and decided not to worry about Yanmen Pass anymore. He broke camp and retreated overnight to conserve his troops, then went to western Liaoning to join his troops there and invaded the Central Plains through western Liaoning.

Yanmen Pass is difficult to attack and easy to defend but difficult to attack, but he thinks other places are much easier than Yanmen Pass.

After Li Xin and Zhang Han returned, it was already night.

The doors were closed tightly, and torches were lit on the tower.

Bai Zhong ordered them to continue the martial law, beware of enemy night attacks, and then return to their tents.

"Open the properties panel."

Host: Bai Zhong

Level:6

Achievements: Young Master, General, Killer God

Merit points: 25320

Kungfu and skills: Immortality Technique, Mozi Sword Technique, Eight Techniques in the Well

Special abilities: Berserk (Advanced, 500%), Wild War (Advanced, 426%), Moonlight (Intermediate, 55%), Slavery (Advanced, 661%)

The merit points have exceeded 20,000.

Bai Zhong hesitated for a while, wanting to improve himself, and said silently: "System, physical strength, add five thousand points."

"Defense 5000, strength 5000, speed 5000."

"Congratulations to the host, the system level has been improved, it is now level 8."

"System upgrade, ability improvement, combat merit conversion ratio increased to 10:1."

The voice of the system sounded in Bai Zhong's mind.

Bai Zhong was startled when he heard this, and then he felt very happy.

In other words, as long as your soldiers kill ten enemies, they can convert one merit point. In the past, one hundred men could convert one merit point.

The conversion rate increases, making it easier to obtain merit points in the future.

"Had I known that the ratio could be improved, I would have actively upgraded and wasted so many opportunities."

Bai Zhong felt sorry again, but it didn't matter, there would still be time to fight in the future.

Thinking of the Huns outside, they are all walking merit points. We must kill as many as we can. It is best to destroy them all.

Do you want to continue upgrading?

He thought for a while, put it aside temporarily, and verified that the conversion ratio was OK before upgrading.

"My dear, why are you so excited?"
Chapter completed!
