Chapter 1327 - 324: The Royal Banner!

Chapter 1327: Chapter 324: The Royal Banner!

They look down upon the wild people, truly look down on them.

Some of them had seized Xuehai Pass after beating the wild people;

Most of them, upon arriving at Xuehai Pass, haven’t done much but went to the snowfields to hunt wild people.

They even think that the bird language shouted by the Wild King sounds really funny.

But as the Wild King’s emotions continue to heighten,

the expressions on these wild people’s faces in front keep changing,

these barbarian soldiers slowly restrained the mockery on their faces and started becoming serious.

The Sword Saint glanced at Gou Moli ahead,

and said to Lord Zheng standing beside him:

"In the end, you still let him out."

Lord Zheng shook his head,

and stomped his boots on the ground,

saying:

"No, he is forever beneath my feet."

......

A new smoke signal rose from within Yangshan Village because they realized the Yan Army was assaulting the village.

And because the Yan Army did not surround Yangshan Village, the messenger cavalry in the village could freely leave the village to report to the rear Town South Pass.

On the north wall tower of Town South Pass,

the general Nian Yao, whose eyes were somewhat reddened, received the report.

"Why, only ten thousand cavalry came in?"

Nian Yao had always been puzzled by the number of Yan Army, but vaguely felt as if someone imperceptibly got hold of his weakness.

This was not the situation or development he wanted.

"Report, message from Yangshan Village, the Yan people attacked!"

Nian Yao gritted his teeth,

just one path of Yan Army, just one path, are the Yan people relying on just this one path of troops to take down my Yangshan Village?

The intention of the Yan people,

Tian Wujing’s strategy,

what exactly is it?

The battlefield’s fog remains dense;

Nian Yao ordered:

"Order the nearby military forts and strongholds around Yangshan Village to carry out support operations."

Since the current battlefield situation is still shrouded in fog, Nian Yao doesn’t mind first playing "rustle the grass to startle the snake," to probe the Yan people’s calculations.

However,

this probing was unnecessary,

this probing was akin to adding water to boiling oil, causing the situation to suddenly become lively.

In less than half an hour,

various military forts and strongholds,

all raised smoke signals!

"Report, enemy spotted at West Mountain Fortress!"

"Report, enemy spotted at Sihe Fortress!"

"Report, enemy spotted at Dugu Fortress!"

"Report......"

Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere has discovered the enemy!

Of course, Nian Yao couldn’t believe the Yan people started a comprehensive attack directly, even if the Yan people are that arrogant, it’s impossible to attack all forts at once.

This can only mean that there were already Yan Army troops on the periphery of various military forts and strongholds, and when the Chu army inside seemed ready to move, the Yan Army quickly appeared to impose pressure.

They don’t besiege,

but if the Chu army comes out,

they will certainly fight!

"Pass down the order, all military forts and strongholds, hold firm and do not venture out, exercise strict vigilance!"

"Understood!"

At this time, Nian Yao certainly wouldn’t foolishly force the troops from various military forts and strongholds to come out, otherwise, a chaotic battle would be inevitable.

There will be clashes everywhere, there will be fights everywhere, the battlefield will be split into countless pieces.

This should have been a tactic he planned to use against the Yan people, but unexpectedly, it seems that those who are going to be divided are themselves.

Fight,

how to fight,

now it would truly be foolish to mobilize his troops, as the Yan people, even at a high casualty price, would find it far more worthwhile than besieging a fort!

"Report, Yangshan Village messenger cavalry!"

"Have them come!"

Nian Yao knew that the fuse of the current situation was that path of Yan Army that first entered the battlefield;

Even,

Nian Yao felt a sense of absurdity,

seeing the extensive smoke signals reported earlier,

to create such a grand arrangement, likely the entire Yan Army has mobilized all their parts. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

So,

these hundreds of thousands of Yan Army troops, are just to back up that path of Yan Army?

Who exactly,

holds such a grand stage!

Who exactly,

is worth Tian Wujing giving him such a grand stage!

It can’t possibly be that the lone path of Yan Army, is led by Tian Wujing himself, can it?

"General, the Yan Army in front of our village, flies the ’Zheng’ character flag!"

"Zheng character flag?"

Nian Yao was stunned for a moment,

No need to think,

A ’Zheng’ character, plus such treatment, he quickly realized whose troops those Yan Army belong to!

Isn’t it none other than that Lord Pingye of Yan State,

The royal consort of our Great Chu!

Although there have been rumors that the Southern Marquis, now the South King of Yan State, highly regards that Zheng Fan;

But Nian Yao truly couldn’t believe,

he actually would go to such lengths for that Lord Pingye!

Yan and Chu combined hundreds of thousands of troops,

just to set up a stage for that Lord Pingye?

"Direct Thief, you son of a bitch treat that Zheng fellow so well, do you yourself want to come press the scene as well!"

General Nian couldn’t help but curse.

He admired Tian Wujing, studied and researched his tactical style, and this had long been no secret inside Town South Pass.

Therefore, precisely because of this, he felt extremely angry at the Yan State’s Prince Jingnan’s attitude towards that Lord Pingye!

Moreover, the deeper reason for this anger is that,

his calculations, have been in vain!

And vaguely, a sense of panic is spreading.

Just ten thousand cavalry trying to break through a heavily fortified military stronghold guarded by eight thousand rattan armor soldiers in one day?

He didn’t believe it, he didn’t believe the Yan people are each divine beings descended to earth!

But leading them is that Lord Pingye who once went deep into Chu to abduct the princess alone, a maverick adept at creating miracles who traveled a thousand miles to capture Xuehai Pass,

Nian Yao’s confidence started to waver.

"Report, General, Yan Army forces spotted ten miles northwest of our pass!"

"How many?" Nian Yao immediately asked.

"Thirty thousand!"

Whew,

Thirty thousand,

not too many.

To have the audacity to approach under our Town South Pass.

Indeed,

Town South Pass has a defending force of just over sixty thousand, after all, this is a military stronghold, not a traditional meaning city.

Even in Xuehai Pass, which is larger than Town South Pass, most of the civilian households actually still reside in the outside region, within the pass, it really can’t hold too many people.

But on the eastern and western sides of Town South Pass, there are more than forty thousand elite royal guard troops of Great Chu stationed, and behind Town South Pass, there is also a large camp.

Ten thousand Yan Army charging Yangshan Village, Nian Yao can understand, but thirty thousand cavalry daring to charge at my Town South Pass!

"Direct Thief, really think I’m easily scared!"

"General, also......"

"Speak."

"Among those troops, flies the Yan State Prince Jingnan’s royal flag."

"......" Nian Yao.

——

Northwest of Town South Pass,

A cavalry regiment that galloped swiftly has stopped.

Ahead,

is the imposing pass of the Chu people, is the Chu people’s military stronghold, where the most elite royal guard troops of the Chu people are stationed.

All because of that grand figure standing at the forefront of the military formation, wearing gilded armor and riding Pixiu;

as if the wind from the south in the scorching summer day,

was here,

at a stop.
