Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1004: Chapter 704: Changes in Longevity Village

Iron Armor Heavy Cavalry is not exclusive to Chongshan Town; Beiyuan Town also has its own Iron Armor Heavy Cavalry, although currently Beiyuan Town has only two thousand Iron Armor Heavy Cavalry.

But Song Dashan regards these two thousand Iron Armor Heavy Cavalry as his trump card, and at this moment he sends them out, intending to quickly establish victory in this battle.

In a field battle between two armies, the greatest fear is entanglement, because once entangled, both sides will suffer devastating casualties.

It’s best to boost the morale of the soldiers at the start of the battle and intimidate the enemy, creating a temporary suppression. Thus, if this balance tips in favor, one can seize the advantage.

The appearance of the two thousand Iron Armor Heavy Cavalry immediately inflicted heavy casualties on the Wanggu Tribe’s army.

These tin cans are most suitable for this kind of expansive field battle terrain.

Their warhorses moved with small, slow steps, not fast enough to catch up with the Wanggu Tribe’s Northern barbarians, but the Northern barbarians had to charge to stop them.

Because if the enemy allowed them to charge freely, these two thousand Iron Armor Heavy Cavalry could breach and overthrow the enemy’s Central Army Great Array.

Most of the Northern barbarians are light cavalry, their armor primarily leather, with few fully armored in iron, and none in cohesive formations.

And the result of light cavalry confronting Iron Armor Heavy Cavalry is predictable, like eggs hitting stones.

Although they stopped the charge of the Iron Armor Heavy Cavalry, they paid a devastating price in casualties.

In the instant of collision, over a thousand Northern barbarians were thrown from their horses, and immediately, the Iron Armor Heavy Cavalry went on a rampage as if no one was there, slaughtering everywhere, hammering down one Northern barbarian after another.

As time passed and casualties increased, signs of defeat finally appeared among the Northern barbarians on the right wing.

When the first Northern barbarian was overwhelmed with fear and attempted to flee, it triggered a mass retreat like the tide ebbing away.

With the right-wing Northern barbarians retreating, can the Wanggu Tribe’s Central Army Great Array still hold?

The answer, naturally, is no.

Like a collapsed mountain, after two hours of fighting, the tens of thousands strong Wanggu Tribe army finally couldn’t withstand the pressure and completely fell into defeat, with many Northern barbarians throwing away their helmets and armor, fleeing in panic without caring for their fellow clansmen and brothers behind them.

They had only one thought: escape this terrifying battlefield.

...

Capital City, inside Marquis Jing’an Mansion.

To be precise, within the Spiritual Spring Space.

Yang Zhenshan finally had some free time. During this period, he had either been recruiting Innate Martial Artists for the Da’an New Dynasty or assisting Yang Chengye in formulating the new dynasty’s systems and policies.

Now, most of the new dynasty’s systems have been established, and even if some systems have yet to be implemented, it’s just a matter of time, no longer requiring Yang Zhenshan to worry.

As for Innate Martial Artists, those who could return have returned, and those who couldn’t, well, it doesn’t matter.

Although Yang Zhenshan hopes the Da’an New Dynasty can have more Innate Martial Artists, he can’t bring himself to beg those Innate Martial Artists.

Recruiting those Innate Martial Artists is for their benefit; not joining the Da’an New Dynasty is their own loss.

Yang Zhenshan is happy to make more friends and unite more powerful figures for the Da’an New Dynasty.

But considering his status and strength, it would be too much for him to lower himself and bend his principles in such matters.

After finishing these chaotic tasks, Yang Zhenshan, despite not leaving the Capital City, refocused his energy on the Spiritual Spring Space.

At this moment, the Spiritual Spring Space presents a completely different sight; originally sparse mountain forests are now dense beyond belief.

Standing at the mountain top overlooking the surrounding forests, a lush and thriving scene unfolds.

The space now has more animals, various birds, beasts, and insects are everywhere, giving it an almost primal forest feel.

However, the biggest transformation is in Longevity Village, where exquisite bamboo buildings are neatly arranged, with a small stream flowing around the village, merging into the field’s water channels. Golden rice ears droop across the fields, swaying gently in the breeze, forming ripples.

On the hill behind, green tea trees cover the slopes in circles, in rows, stretching from the base to the mid-hill.

On the western side of the village, the riverbanks are planted with various fruit trees. Though not very large, many have grown to a height of one zhang, vibrant and full of vitality.

The eastern side of the village is the pasture, without any fences, where dozens of tall, handsome horses roam leisurely.

Throughout the village, and like the riverbank, various fruit trees are planted everywhere.

Surrounded by mountains and waters, criss-cross paths, flowing streams, and lush trees, the harmony between humanity and nature is perfectly reflected.

There’s a saying: the pavilion near the water gets the moon first. Clearly, Longevity Village is the best Blessed Land.

Their water is all Spiritual Spring Water, their rice is irrigated with Spiritual Spring Water, and their tea is also cultivated with Spiritual Spring Water.

Additionally, they harvest a large batch of Spiritual Fruit Trees. They can enjoy some fast-growing Spirit Fruit like Dragon Bone Fruit, Cold Pine Fruit, Cloud Berry Fruit, and others, which are mild in effect and can be consumed by ordinary people.

Of course, the villagers of Longevity Village also work diligently. Everything here was built by them, and they have many tasks to complete daily.

They must make wine, bake tea, harvest honey, and care for horses on behalf of Yang Zhenshan.

Yang Zhenshan has now entrusted all these miscellaneous tasks to them, and they have performed excellently, even surpassing the efforts of Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi.
