Protect Our Patriarch Chapter 129: Wang Anye arrives on the battlefield
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of protecting our clan leader!
Same time period.
The area controlled by Yan State, the county seat of Huaiyin County.
As an outpost for the attack on Beiliang, Huaiyin County had already been mobilized by the imperial court and served as a garrison for the central army of the Southern Yan Army.
Naturally, the Prince's Mansion in the county town became a temporary "Chinese Army Tent."
At this moment.
Inside Prince Huaiyin’s Mansion.
The grand banquet hall that was once used for banquets has become a conference hall for holding war meetings. The layout of the hall has basically not changed, except that the original luxurious decorations have been removed, and only some basic functions have been retained.
In addition, a giant sand table was placed in the center of the hall. Different colors of sand were used on the sand table to simulate the terrain changes around Huaiyin County and Huaiyang County, as well as the military deployments of both sides. .
Surrounding the sand table, Prince Huaiyin, the marshal of Yan's main group army, was having a meeting of army commanders with other core members of the group army.
Prince Huaiyin is an imposing middle-aged man with majestic appearance and extraordinary bearing. Because he has been stationed on the battlefield all year round, he carries the unique evil aura of a Gu Junli person, and he looks very intimidating.
The rest of the people present are also the commanders of various legions. They all carry evil spirits and imposing aura, and they look extremely difficult to mess with.
The busy days have made everyone look a little tired, but at this moment, the expressions on everyone's faces are very serious.
"I have called you here today because I have important military information to inform you." Prince Huaiyin said seriously, "According to the news secretly sent back by the Demon Falcon Group that entered the hinterland of Liang Kingdom, their tactics were very successful. We have conquered several cities in a short period of time."
"Great! This result will definitely give the old dog from Zhenyang and the old thief from Qingyu a huge headache." A younger legion commander immediately beamed with joy and clapped his hands on the table in surprise.
Seeing everyone looking over, he quickly calmed down his expression, but his face was still filled with joy.
You know, in this confrontation with Liang Guo's main group army, Yan Guo mobilized and assembled a total of five legions, with a total of more than 200,000 troops.
Except for the local garrison garrisoned in the city and the troops invested in battlefields outside the territory, most of the main forces in the country have been gathered in Huaiyin County.
In the stalemate and tug-of-war that lasted for more than fifty years, both countries suffered heavy losses. Now they have collectively fallen into a state of war weariness and exhaustion, and their national strength has continued to weaken under the attrition of the war.
Now, both Liang and Yan want to end this protracted war as soon as possible.
After years of fighting, the hatred between the two sides has accumulated, and it has already turned into a blood feud. If anyone dares to propose peace, they will probably be drowned in spittle. Therefore, the best result is to achieve a dominant victory in the battle and force the opponent to actively seek peace.
As a result, as time passed, the atmosphere of the battle between the main armies of both sides became increasingly intense.
This news about Prince Huaiyin can be said to be a shot in the arm for everyone, making the faces of the participating legion commanders look happy.
Among them, Prince Anhai, commander of the Anhai Regiment on the left wing of the group army, also looked happy, stroking his chin and thinking: "Now the old thief Qingyu and his personal guard, the Red Fire Heavy Cavalry, are being restrained by His Majesty and the Xuanshan Iron Cavalry. At the East China Sea Port. And the main powers of the Holy Lands of the two countries, the Divine Power Realm, are also restraining each other. Now, Zhenyang Old Dog is in an embarrassing situation."
"I want to see whether the old dog from Zhenyang will choose to divide his troops and return to defense, or will he be forced to jump over the wall and cross the river in advance to fight to the death with me."
"It is impossible to return to defense. The Magic Falcon Group is an elite group of the Chao family, and its overall strength is no less than that of our country's Forbidden Army Xuanshan Iron Cavalry." Prince Heiyang, commander of the Heiyang Army in charge of the right wing of the army, sneered. "If Beiliang wants to draw a net to encircle and suppress the Demon Falcon Group, he will just send food if there is little reinforcement. If he wants to gain an advantage in the encirclement and suppression, the old thief in Zhenyang must send at least a 50,000-strong army to defend. Hehe, if he You are so bold, our main group army can take advantage of the situation to cross the river and engage in a head-on battle with the Liang Guo Group Army."
"Hey, the strength of the Zhenyang old dog is about the same as ours. If there is one less reorganized army, how can the Zhenyang old dog withstand our army's offensive?"
Marshal Prince Huaiyin nodded, first confirming the other party's speculation, and then calmly analyzed: "Judging from the fifty years of 'friendship' between me and Zhenyang, there is a high possibility that he will not return support. , but will choose to cross the river in advance and start a head-on battle between the main armies of both sides. If they win, the Demon Falcon group that goes deep alone will be the turtle in the urn. If they lose, they can only bear the consequences of defeat honestly. Who is the Immortal Dynasty? With his own personality, it is naturally impossible to watch the Liang Kingdom be completely destroyed."
"Liang Guo's defeat is certain, and the intervention of the Immortal Dynasty is inevitable. Our current best strategy for the Yan State is to defeat the Liang Guo Group Army as soon as possible, and sweep forward at the fastest speed to capture Huaiyang, Jinfeng, Fu The Three Counties of Tong. Even if the Immortal Dynasty reacts and intervenes, since the defeat of the Liang Kingdom has been determined, His Majesty the Demon Emperor can also leave one county of Rich Copper as a strategic deal when negotiating with it."
Capture three counties!
Liang and Yan currently only have nine counties each. If they can really capture three counties at once, then it will be twelve versus six in the future. Even if one county has to be thrown out due to strategic mediation, the future will still be ten. A one-on-seven situation.
Once this situation is stable for thousands of years, the Yan State has digested the benefits brought by it, and its national power has become stronger. At that time, what will the Liang State use to compete with the Yan State?
If the next war between immortals and demons begins, Yan State may be able to take advantage of the situation to annihilate Liang State in one fell swoop and dominate Lingqu Continent.
The thought of such an opportunity to make great achievements excites all the army commanders.
"Therefore, under the strategic layout, I plan that once Prince Zhenyang takes the initiative to attack, our army will give up its defensive posture, take advantage of the situation, and speed up the time to fully engage with him. By then, Prince Anhai on the left flank of our army will You must be responsible for containing the enemy Qingfeng Army. And order the Chao family's reinforcements, the Demonic Corpse Regiment, to quickly circle behind the Qingfeng Army and join forces with your troops to defeat the Qingfeng Army." Marshal Prince Huaiyin solemnly ordered, "This battle is extremely critical. , there must be no mistake.”
Prince Anhai looked solemn and immediately said: "Our army takes orders."
"Prince Black Sun obeys the order. The right-wing Black Sun Legion you are responsible for also implements the same tactics. Once our forward legion fully engages the enemy, it will immediately join forces with the reinforcement Black Eagle Legion to defeat the enemy's Anping Legion. "Marshal Prince Huaiyin ordered.
"Marshal, don't worry. The Black Eagles are extremely powerful. With them, they can easily tear apart the thin defense of the opponent and implement the tactics of bypassing and hammering. The Anping Army will definitely be defeated." Hei Yang The prince accepted the order with joy.
Once this battle is successful, the credit he can gain is not small.
Seeing that they all understood their strategic thinking, Marshal Prince Huaiyin nodded with satisfaction, and then solemnly warned: "This battle is related to the destiny of our country for thousands of years, so don't be careless. Anhai, Heiyang, your two legions After defeating the enemy's army, remember not to pursue the defeated army for credit, but to immediately regroup and outflank the enemy's main force from two directions at the same time. We must win this battle that is related to the fate of the country in the shortest possible time."
As he spoke, he stood up and looked at everyone with bright eyes: "Everyone, it's up to you whether you can be famous in history."
"Yes, Marshal!"
All the legion commanders were excited.
Liang Guo.
The junction of Huaiyang County and Futong County - Jinyangwei.
Unlike Huaiyang County, which is a flat plain, Futong County has many mountains and ridges inside, and there used to be rich reserves of copper mines underground. This is why the word "Rich Copper" in Futong County got its name.
Jinyangwei was also famous for its copper smelting and related industrial chains.
But now, with the increasing shortage of copper resources, Jinyangwei has gradually lost its former glory and turned into an ordinary acropolis.
Because Liang and Yan have been at war for more than fifty years.
In order to prevent accidents, the city guards in various places have also organized and established "township brave teams".
It's just that the Jinyang Guards are not on the main battlefield, and the troops capable of fighting have been repeatedly deployed. Today, the only remaining regular army has only three local patrol battalions that are not fully staffed, and the regular army has less than a thousand troops.
In comparison, the local rural brave group is more interesting to watch.
Under the leadership of two seventh-grade aristocratic families, the Jinyang Murong family and the Jinyang Zhao family, a total of four militia battalions were organized, consisting of one thousand and several hundred Xuanwu monks, and three to four thousand strong and strong men. Composed of mortals, the official name is Jinyang Militia Regiment.
It's just that the composition of the thousands and hundreds of soldiers with cultivation levels is a bit complicated. They are clansmen, generals, elders from more than thirty aristocratic families, large and small, and even casual cultivators stranded in Jinyang Guard.
As for the thousands of mortals, although they are armed with bows, crossbows, knives and guns, their combat effectiveness is really worrying. They cannot be counted on in frontal tough battles. They can only help maintain law and order, repair fortifications, and provide logistics. Supply work.
Since receiving the latest "peak notification", Wei Boqiu, the defender of Jinyang Acropolis, began to organize civil defense teams and began active defense.
All the children of the aristocratic family and related personnel have now moved to the Acropolis. Those who are still stranded in the towns and villages are unarmed civilians and tenant farmers. Whether they can survive or not can only be left to fate.
Jinyang Acropolis is not small, but it cannot accommodate millions of civilians in various towns and villages.
With this kind of defensive force, it is not a big problem to resist and contain an ordinary battle group, but what they are about to face is an elite battle group that kills many people.
Even the city guard Wei Boqiu and the two ancestors of the Celestial Family could only huddle together and pray in fear, hoping that the enemy's elite battle group would pass by somewhere else and not let them pass by. Beat up Jin Yangwei.
But their prayers clearly had no effect.
While they were waiting fearfully for their fate to be pronounced.
A scout troop consisting of dozens of people, wearing jet-black armor and riding black-scaled one-horned horses, appeared several miles away from the Acropolis with lightning speed.
Their armor is ferocious and their aura is cold. The leader is even more imposing. Although his appearance cannot be seen clearly from the shadows, he can feel the strong sense of oppression emanating from him.
The dull sound of horse hooves was steady and powerful, as if stepping on the heart of the city wall defender, making people almost suffocated.
Scout team of the first vanguard battalion of the Demon Falcon Chapter.
This is undoubtedly the sharp sword elite in the Demon Falcon Group.
The leader is the battalion deputy and scout captain of the first vanguard battalion of the battle group, named Chao Wenguang. He was a descendant of the Chiyue Chao clan, and because of his good aptitude since childhood, he was recruited into the Chao clan's soldiers and carefully trained.
After many years, he is now a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles, and his strength has reached the realm of heaven and man.
Especially those eyes, which are deep and cold, exuding a calmness that is indifferent to life and death.
As for the dozens of brothers behind him, several of them are in the late stage of the Lingtai Realm. Although the cultivation of the others is slightly worse, they are at least in the middle stage of the Lingtai Realm. They are all powerful in combat and have a calm demeanor. The momentum was so impressive that it seemed like just a few dozen people could lay siege to the city.
No wonder.
The Demonic Falcon Regiment is considered an elite among the Chao clan soldiers. Since its formation, it has been taking turns representing the Chao clan on battlefields outside the territory. Even on the battlefield outside the territory where there are many experts, the Demonic Falcon Group can be regarded as the main battle group.
This kind of battle group with a long history will naturally have many military exploits and glorious resumes worthy of boasting. This is one of the necessary factors to condense the military soul.
But correspondingly, such a war group is also extremely indifferent to human life.
"Deputy Commander." An elite scout looked at the defenders of Jinyang Guard indifferently, "It's such a small town, it's too boring. Why don't we simply bypass these broken cities and attack the copper-rich city directly? County and city."
"It is not for me, the little deputy commander, to make the decision on this matter." Chao Wenguang's expression remained unchanged and he said indifferently, "However, with the personality of the regiment leader, this siege battle will undoubtedly be fought."
"Hey, the Luping City in front of us didn't even hold out for a day before it fell. This Jinyang City is not as big as the Luping City. I don't know how long it can hold out under the attack of my elite demon falcon." The face of the elite scout showed. He smiled cruelly, "Ten hours? Or eight hours? By then, I will go on a killing spree again."
"Lao Yang, what's the point of killing people?" Another elite scout chuckled, "The women of those local aristocratic families have a special taste. Compared with the harsh and rough women of our demon dynasty, I like those who are as weak as water. The rich daughter. It’s a pity that the one I caught last time was just a straight lady from a seventh-grade family. I really want to have a taste of the young legitimate daughter."
"Lao Qiu, your grandson still wants to be the direct descendant of a seventh-grade family? That is the exclusive privilege of the captain and deputy commanders. Even the deputy commanders can only stare from the side and see if they can get some soup to drink. ."
"Hahaha! I hope the deputy commander can have some soup, and we can also have a drink by the way, hehehehe!"
While talking, a group of elite scouts laughed wildly.
They were all in the middle to late stage of the Lingtai realm. They deliberately spoke loudly and laughed, and their voices easily reached the ears of the defenders on the city wall.
The defenders were all filled with indignation and showed expressions of humiliation.
A group of women holding swords and wearing Xuanwu costumes were so angry that their pretty faces turned red. They wished they could rush out of the city and kill those beasts who spoke obscenely on the spot.
Among the women, a handsome woman wearing a brown military uniform and a purple gauze crown took out a spiritual weapon bow with an angry look in her eyes, twisted the feathers and strings, and fired the bow in one go.
A sharp whistling sound suddenly sounded, and sharp arrows shot out like lightning, flying towards the elite scout leader from a distance.
The arrow moves very fast, and it is obvious at a glance that it is extremely powerful.
"Miss Qianqian is so powerful!"
The defensive team composed of women suddenly burst into cheers, and the women all showed expressions of admiration for her.
This woman’s name is Murong Qianqian.
She is the legitimate daughter of the Murong clan of the seventh rank of Jinyang. She is also a core disciple of the Futong Zifu Academy. She has bloodline qualifications that are close to those of a minor prodigy.
She had already reached the middle stage of Lingtai Realm at a young age. She was supposed to be cultivating quietly in the academy. This time she just went home to visit relatives, but unexpectedly she encountered this crisis.
She is extremely confident in her bow skills, and she can usually hit a tree as thick as a bowl from a long distance away.
Unexpectedly.
Faced with the sharp arrow coming from afar, Chao Wenguang didn't even raise his eyelids, he just casually shot out a ray of divine energy.
There was only a loud "bang" sound, and the arrows containing profound energy exploded like flowers in an instant.
"How is that possible?!"
Murong Qianqian's pretty face changed suddenly, and she realized something was wrong in an instant. Is it possible that any of the vanguards on the opposite side are actually strong men in the Heavenly Realm?
At the same time.
In the distance, bursts of loud thunder-like sounds came rolling in, and the ground shook violently like a landslide.
That was the sound of thousands of horses galloping.
The Demon Falcon Group, known for its speed and surprise attacks, finally came to the city.
Amidst the deafening roar, the dark-skinned crowd rushed in like a torrent, with swords and swords flashing, horses neighing, and the momentum was overwhelming.
The battle camp at the front is naturally the vanguard camp to which Chao Wenguang and the others belong.
As soon as the main force arrives, the battle begins.
The leader of the vanguard battle camp is a powerful middle-aged man named Tu Pingan.
On the way to the attack, Tu Ping'an waved his long sword and took the lead in shouting: "The commander has ordered us to attack the city immediately! We can't take down the Jinyang Guards in five hours, so the commanders of each battalion will take thirty lashes of their own. Chao Wenguang, follow your lead. Let us all climb the city wall first to clear the way for our brothers."
"Yes, Commander."
Deputy Commander Chao Wenguang responded loudly, then immediately turned his horse's head and led his elite scouts to join the vanguard battalion's sprint team.
The black-scaled one-horned war horses under their crotches are all third-level spiritual beasts. They are extremely fast and have outstanding defense. They are definitely not comparable to ordinary war horses.
In just the blink of an eye, the black iron cavalry surged out with overwhelming evil energy and rushed towards the wall of Jinyang City.
The defenders on Jinyang City reacted quickly, and someone immediately shouted and began to organize an interception.
Amidst the roaring sounds, batches of arrows rained down from the city wall.
The dense rain of arrows fell like raindrops, covering large areas of sunlight in an instant. Looking around, it was dark above the head.
However, the two commanders of the Heavenly Realm remained calm and used their profound energy to block it easily. They cut off the arrows in an instant and even if there were some that slipped through the net, they could not penetrate their vests.
In just a dozen breaths, the elite soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion, led by the two commanders of the Celestial Realm, crossed the distance from Li Xu and arrived not far from the city wall like a black torrent.
The faces of the defenders at the top of Jinyang City turned pale, and the few who were timid were so nervous that their whole bodies began to tremble.
This time.
The two Heavenly Realm commanders were surging with profound energy, and they rose into the air at the same time, preparing to fly over the city wall to sweep away the soldiers and leave space for the follow-up vanguard troops to climb the wall.
Although the Lingtai realm can also fly into the air, it cannot stay in the air for a long time and can only glide briefly. With the two of them clearing the way, it will be much easier to climb the city wall in the Lingtai realm.
Unexpectedly.
They had just soared into the sky more than ten feet high and were about to unleash their sword energy.
Suddenly!
A startling sound suddenly sounded.
Different from the sound of bowstrings nearby, this startling sound was as dull as thunder, hitting the hearts of the two commanders like a dull hammer, causing their hearts to stagnate for no reason.
Chao Wenguang's pupils shrank, his intuition was not good.
However, before he could react, a lightning-like sharp arrow pierced his chest. There was a fist-sized hole in his chest, including his armor.
Blood sprayed out all over the sky.
After piercing through Chao Wenguang, the arrow continued unabated, and shot all the way out of the distance. It penetrated several elite members of the Demon Falcon Group before sinking deeply into the ground.
Amidst the lightning and flint, Chao Wenguang was carried backwards by the tyrannical force carried by the arrow for several dozen feet, and then he fell to the ground exhausted.
Blood flowed all over the ground. At this moment, Chao Wenguang was covered in mess and extremely miserable. However, the powerful vitality of the monk in the heavenly realm prevented him from dying for a while.
As he was dying, there was only one thought buzzing in his head: How is this possible?
I, Chao Wenguang, was shot to death by a cold arrow!
"this"
Murong Qianqian stared blankly not far away, unable to regain consciousness for a long time.
At some point, a handsome young man wearing bright silver armor appeared there.
She watched the arrow shoot out from his hand.
His facial features were as handsome as if they were carved by the skillful hands of a craftsman. The same armor, worn on others, was nothing special, but when worn on him, it seemed to give him a layer of halo, making him look like Like the God of War in the novel.
The way he held a bow and arrow and shot it through Chao Wenguang was as if a divine weapon had arrived.
Wait! How come she has never seen this young master before?
With such an outstanding appearance and temperament, if she had ever seen him, she would definitely remember him. Moreover, she had never heard of such a number one person in Jinyang Guard.
While she was confused, the bow actually spoke.
"Wang Anye, you are going too far! I am the Taoist Saint-Slaying Gong, and you actually asked me to shoot a little guy." A cold snort came from the bow, and his voice was obviously mixed with anger.
"Didn't my great-great-grandfather change your name to 'Shen Shen'? Don't you yourself feel that the pressure of slaughtering the saint is too great?" Wang Anye replied somewhat innocently.
"One moment and another. When I followed Lord Blood, I felt that the pressure of Tu Shenggong was a bit high." Tu Shenggong said confidently, "But after getting along with the master for a long time, I gradually feel that our future is limitless. Killing saints and annihilating immortals is no big deal."
"So, you are not allowed to use me to kill little guys in the future. Hey, hey, what are you doing? Let me go"
"Whoops!"
Another arrow was shot, this time hitting Tu Ping'an, the commander of the Pioneer Battalion.
In the blink of an eye, he flew out like Chao Wenguang and lay down somewhere.
Poor, the two battalion commanders of the Pioneer Battalion, an elite fighting group, did not survive even half a chapter.
