Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1717: Chapter 129: Wang Anye Arrives at the Battlefield_2

Once this situation stabilizes for a thousand years, Yan Kingdom will absorb the benefits it brings, resulting in a great increase in national power. At that time, what will Liang Country use to compete against Yan Kingdom?

If the next Immortal Demon battle begins, Yan Kingdom might seize the opportunity to annihilate Liang Country, and dominate the Spirit Canal Continent.

The chance to build such achievements is exhilarating for all the legion leaders.

“Therefore, under this strategic layout, my plan is once Prince Zhenyang takes the initiative to attack, our army will also abandon its defensive posture, seize the opportunity, and accelerate the time to fully engage with them. At that time, Prince Anhai on our left wing will need to restrain the enemy Qingfen Legion. Order Chao Clan Reinforcements [Moshi Battalion] to quickly bypass the back of the Qingfen Legion and team up with your forces to crush the Qingfen Legion.” Marshal Prince Huaiyin ordered sternly, “This battle is extremely critical, and must not go wrong.”

Prince Anhai’s expression turned serious and immediately responded, “Our army accepts the order.”

“Prince Heiyang, heed the order. Your right-wing Heiyang Legion will also implement the same tactics. Once our vanguard legion is fully engaged with the enemy, immediately join forces with the [Black Eagle Battle Group] reinforcements to crush the enemy’s [Anping Corps].” Marshal Prince Huaiyin commanded.

“Rest assured, Marshal, the Black Eagle Battle Group is extremely formidable. With them, the thin defense opposite us can be easily torn apart and the rear assault tactics can be implemented. Anping Corps will definitely be defeated.” Prince Heiyang received the order with a joyful expression.

If this battle succeeds, the merit he gains will not be small.

Seeing that everyone understood his strategic thinking, Marshal Prince Huaiyin nodded with satisfaction and then solemnly reminded, “This battle concerns the thousand-year fate of our Dayan. We must not be careless. Anhai and Heiyang, after you crush the enemy legion, remember not to greedily pursue the fleeing soldiers. Instead, immediately regroup and encircle the main force of the enemy simultaneously from two directions. We must win this critical battle in the shortest time possible.”

He stood up, gazing at everyone with bright eyes, “Everyone, whether you can be renowned in history depends on you.”

“Yes, Marshal!”

All the legion leaders were excited.

…

Liang Country.

The junction of Huaiyang County and Fugang County—Jinyang Guard.

Unlike Huaiyang County, which is a flat plain area, Fugang County has many towering mountains inside, and underground was once rich with copper mines, thus it was named “Fugang” for its abundance of copper.

Jinyang Guard was once famous for smelting copper mines and its related industrial chain.

However, nowadays, with the gradual depletion of copper mining resources, Jinyang Guard has gradually lost its former glory, becoming an ordinary Guard City.

Due to the fifty-year-long war between the Liang and Yan Countries.

To prevent unexpected incidents, each City Guard Mansion organized and established “Village Brave Teams.”

However, Jinyang Guard is not located at the main battlefield. Additionally, the combat-capable troops have been repeatedly drawn, leaving only three under-strength local patrol camps, with formal military strength fewer than one thousand.

In contrast, the local village brave team seems more presentable.

Under the leadership of two 7th-rank Aristocratic Families, Jinyang Murong Clan and Jinyang Zhao Clan, a total of four militia camps were organized, comprising approximately one thousand Profound Martial cultivators, and three to four thousand robust commoners, officially designated as [Jinyang Militia].

However, the composition of those roughly one thousand cultivators is somewhat complex, including clansmen, head of households, elder from more than thirty families, and even independent cultivators stranded in Jinyang Guard.

As for those thousands of commoners, although slightly armed with crossbows, knives, and guns, their combat strength is indeed worrying, unable to be counted on for frontal battles, only able to help maintain security, repair defensive fortifications, and do some logistics supply work.

Since receiving the latest “Shangfeng Notification,” the City Lord of Jinyang Guard, [Wei Boqiu], started organizing the civil militia for active defense.

All clan offspring and associated personnel have now moved into the Guard City, and only some unarmed civilians and tenant farmers are left in the towns and villages, whose lives depend on fate.

Jinyang Guard City isn’t small, but it can’t hold a million civilians from all towns and villages.

This defensive power can hold back a normal battalion, but they will face a killing elite battle group.

Even the City Lord Wei Boqiu and two Old Ancestors from Celestial Prominent Families can only huddle in fear, praying desperately, hoping that the enemy elite battle group will pass from other places and not conveniently attack Jinyang Guard.

But clearly, their prayers didn’t work.

Just as they awaited their fate with anxiety.

A scout unit consisting of dozens of men appeared in an instant several miles outside the Guard City, wearing pitch-black armor and riding Black Scale Unicorn Warhorses.

Their armor was ferocious, exuding a cold aura, and the leader’s figure was extraordinary. His appearance wasn’t clear, but the oppressive force radiating from him was palpable.

The thunderous yet steady hoofbeats seemed to stomp directly on the hearts of the city’s defensive troops, almost suffocating them.

[Magic Hawk Battle Regiment First Vanguard Camp Scout Unit].

This is undoubtedly the sharp elite of the Magic Hawk Battle Regiment.

The leader is the Camp Deputy of the First Vanguard Camp and also Scout Captain, named [Chao Wenguang]. He is a branch member of the Red Moon Family of Chao, recruited into the Chao Clan’s forces for careful cultivation as he showed promising talent from a young age.
