Chapter 129 Wang Anye Arrives on the Battlefield

…

same time period.

Yan State controlled area, 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".

now.

In the palace of Prince Huaiyin.

The grand banquet hall that was once used for entertaining guests has become a conference hall for holding combat 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, there is a giant sand table placed in the center of the hall. The sand table uses different colors of sand to simulate the terrain changes around Huaiyin County and Huaiyang County, as well as the military deployment of both sides...

Surrounding the sand table, the Marshal of the main army of the Yan State [Prince Huaiyin] was having a meeting of army commanders with other core members of the army.

Prince Huaiyin is an imposing middle-aged man with majestic appearance and extraordinary demeanor. 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 were also the commanders of various legions, each carrying an evil aura and imposing manner that seemed 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 [Magic Falcon Group] that entered the hinterland of Liang Kingdom, their tactics were very successful. In just a short time Several cities have been conquered within 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 a total of five legions, with a total of more than 200,000 troops.

Apart from the local garrison garrisoned in the city and the troops deployed on 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 has lasted for more than fifty years, both countries have 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.

However, 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 legion commanders present look happy.

Among them, the commander of the left wing of the group army [Anhai Regiment] [Prince Anhai] also looked happy, stroking his chin and thinking: "Now the old thief Qingyu and his personal guard [Red Fire Heavy Cavalry] have been killed by His Majesty and Xuan Shantieqi is restrained at Donghai 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 would like 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 in a hurry and cross the river in advance to fight me to the death."

"It is impossible to return to defense. The Demonic Falcon Group is an elite group of the Chao family, and its overall strength is no less than that of the Xuanshan Iron Cavalry of the Forbidden Army of our country." The commander of the Black Sun Army [Prince of Black Sun] who was 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, they will just send food if there is less reinforcements. If they want 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 really is With such boldness, 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."

"Hehe~ The troops in Zhenyang Old Dog's hands are about the same as ours. If there is one less reorganized army, how can Zhenyang Old Dog withstand our army's offensive?"

Marshal Prince Huaiyin nodded, first confirming the other party's speculation, and then calmly analyzed: "Based on the fifty years of 'friendship' between me and Zhenyang, there is a high possibility that he will not return aid, but They 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. With the personality of the Immortal Dynasty, Naturally, it is 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 as quickly as possible to capture the three counties of Huaiyang, Jinfeng, and Futong. .Even if the Immortal Dynasty reacts and intervenes by then, since the defeat of the Liang Kingdom has been determined, His Majesty the Demon Emperor can still leave a copper-rich county as a strategic maneuver when negotiating with it."

Take three counties!

Liang and Yan currently only have nine counties each. If they can really capture three counties at once, it will be twelve vs. six in the future. Even if one county has to be thrown out due to strategic mediation, the future will still be eleven vs. 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 strong. At that time, what will the Liang State use to compete with the Yan State?

If the next war between immortals and demons begins, the Yan State may be able to take advantage of the situation to annihilate the Liang State in one fell swoop and dominate the Lingqu Continent.

Thinking about such an opportunity to make great achievements makes all the regiment commanders excited.

"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. At that time, Prince Anhai on the left wing of our army will be responsible for containing The enemy Qingfeng Army. And ordered Chao's reinforcements [Devil Corpse Regiment] to quickly circle to the back of 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 said immediately: "Our army takes the order."

"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 reinforcements [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 their presence, they can easily tear apart the opponent's thin defense and implement the tactics of bypassing and hammering. The Anping Army will definitely be defeated." Prince Heiyang beamed with joy. Take orders.

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 defeated the enemy. After the legion, remember not to chase down the defeated troops but to regroup immediately 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 said that, 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 army commanders were excited.

…

Liang Guo.

Jinyangwei is at the junction of Huaiyang County and Futong County.

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 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 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 mobilized. Today, the only remaining regular army has only three local patrol battalions that are not fully staffed, and the regular army has less than 1,000 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 or several hundred Xuanwu monks and three to four thousand strong mortals. The official designation 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, swords 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 do some logistics and supply work. .

Since receiving the latest "peak notification", Jinyang Guardsman [Wei Boqiu] began to organize the civil defense team and began to actively defend.

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 Tianren family could only hug each other and pray in fear, hoping that the enemy's elite battle group would pass by somewhere else and not take Jin Yang by accident. Wei was beaten.

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 pitch-black armor and riding black-scaled one-horned horses, appeared several miles away from the Acropolis with lightning speed.

Their armor was ferocious and their aura was cold. The leader was even more imposing. Although his appearance could not be seen clearly from the shadowy figure, he could feel the strong sense of oppression exuding from his body.

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 Demonic Falcon Group].

This is undoubtedly the sharp sword elite in the Demon Falcon Group.

The leader is the deputy of the first vanguard battalion of the battle group and the scout captain, 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 battle, calm and impressive. , as if just a few dozen people could lay siege to the city.

No wonder.

The Demon Falcon Regiment is considered an elite among the Chao Clan soldiers. Since its establishment, 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 worth 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 rich copper county directly? .”

"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."

"Hehe~ The Luping City in front of us fell after not even holding on for a day. 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 our elite demon falcon." The elite scout's face showed cruelty. With a smile, "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 fierce and rough women of our demon dynasty, I like those weak and rich ladies. . 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 commander. Even the deputy commander can only stare at it and see if he 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!"

As they talked, 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 women's Xuanwu costumes were so angry that their pretty faces turned red. They wished they could rush out of the city and kill those bastards who spoke filthy words 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 was moving very fast, and it was obvious at a glance that it was extremely powerful.

"Miss Qianqian is so powerful!"

The defensive team composed of all the women suddenly burst into cheers, and all the women showed expressions of admiration for her.

This girl’s name is [Murong Qianqian].

She is the legitimate daughter of the seventh-grade Murong clan of Jinyang, and is also a core disciple of Futong Zifu Academy. She has bloodline qualifications that are close to those of a minor prodigy.

At a young age, she had already reached the middle stage of Lingtai Realm. 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 was extremely confident in her bow skills, and she could usually hit a tree as thick as a bowl from a long distance away.

Unexpectedly.

Facing 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 can it be?!"

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?

And at the same time.

In the distance, bursts of loud noises like muffled thunder came rolling in, and the ground shook violently like a mountain falling apart.

That was the sound of thousands of horses galloping.

The [Magic Falcon Group], known for its speed and surprise attacks, finally came to the city.

Amidst the deafening roar, the dark crowd rushed in like a torrent, with swords and swords flashing and war horses neighing, the momentum was overwhelming.

The battle camp at the front was naturally the vanguard camp to which Chao Wenguang and the others belonged.

As soon as the main force arrives, the battle begins.

The leader of the vanguard battle camp was a powerful middle-aged man named Tu Ping'an.

During the attack, Tu Ping'an waved his long sword and took the lead in shouting: "The regiment commander has ordered us to attack the city immediately! If we can't take down the Jinyang Guards in five hours, the commanders of each battalion will take thirty lashes of their own. Chao Wenguang, you follow my commander and go first." Climb the city wall and 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 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 started to organize an interception with shouts.

Amidst the roars, 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 the attack 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.

But in just a dozen breaths, the elite soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion, led by the two Heavenly Realm commanders, crossed the distance from Li Xu and arrived not far from the city wall like a black torrent.

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.

At this moment.

The two Heavenly Realm commanders were surging with profound energy around their bodies, and they rose into the air at the same time, preparing to fly over the city wall to clear away the miscellaneous soldiers, leaving 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 saber energy.

Suddenly!

A startling sound suddenly sounded.

Different from the sound of bow strings nearby, this startling sound was as dull as thunder, hitting the hearts of the two commanders like a dull hammer, making their hearts stagnant for no reason.

Chao Wenguang's pupils shrank, and he had a bad feeling.

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 still continued unabated, and it shot all the way out, piercing through several elite members of the Demon Falcon Group before sinking deeply into the ground.

In the midst of lightning and flint, Chao Wenguang was carried upside down by the tyrannical force carried by the arrow and flew several dozen feet, before falling to the ground exhausted.

Blood flowed all over the ground. At this moment, Chao Wenguang was covered in messes and 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 her consciousness for a long time.

At some point, a handsome young man wearing bright silver armor appeared there.

She watched with her own eyes as the arrow shot out of his hand.

His facial features were as handsome as if they were carved by the skillful hands of a craftsman. The same armor, worn by others, was nothing special, but when worn on him, it seemed to give him a halo, making him look like a novel. Like the God of War.

The way he held a bow and arrow and shot it through Chao Wenguang was as if a divine weapon had arrived.

etc! How come she has never seen this young man before?

If she had seen such an outstanding appearance and temperament, she would definitely remember it. 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've gone too far! I am the Taoist Tu Sheng Gong, and you actually asked me to shoot a little guy." A cold snort came from Gong's body, and his voice was obviously mixed with anger.

"Didn't my great-great-grandfather change your name to 'Shen Shen'? Don't you yourself think [Slaughter Saint] is too stressful?" 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. Tu Sheng will destroy Immortals are out of the question."

"So, you are not allowed to use me to kill little guys in the future. Hey, what are you doing? Let me go..."

"call out!"

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.

It's pitiful that the two battalion commanders of the Pioneer Battalion, an elite fighting group, didn't even survive more than half a chapter.

…
