Chapter 2086: Chapter 197: Fear of Delaying Military Intelligence
By the order of Cao Jie.
Chen Fu led three hundred thousand county soldiers to attack the northern part of Sumr Country, targeting the provinces of Youping, Wuxing, and Yuci.
Under his command were Tian Anping, Tian Antai, Yang Jing, brother of Yang Luo, Prefectural Governor of Bi Yu County, Mo Liancheng of the Mo family in Baizhi County, Qi Lianghua, son of Qi Wen, Gao Zhe of the Jinghai Gao Clan, Zhang Weiyu from the Ministry of Personnel, Yan Fu from Bei County, and others…
Additionally, there were also so powerful cultivators from various sects, among them were several God Arrives cultivators, making the lineup quite formidable.
Among them was Yan Fu, the eldest son of the Yan family, who during the oath-taking ceremony in the western suburb of Linzi, initially was part of the Wind Pursuit Army, but later joined the county soldiers, leading an army himself, seemingly intending to compete with Tian Anping for martial prowess and prominence.
Xie Huaian led thirty thousand coalition forces from various Eastern Region countries to attack the eastern part of Sumr Country, targeting the provinces of Linwu, Hui Ming, and Feng Li.
Under his command were Jiang Wang, Zhongxuan Sheng, Xie Baoshu, Bao Bozhao, Bao Zhongqing, and others…
Of course, there was also no shortage of rising stars from various Eastern Region countries, such as Lin Xian from Rong Country and Lin Jie from Yi Kingdom, so of whom were Godly cultivators.
Overall, the coalition forces of the Eastern Region countries had more strong fighters, but the county soldiers of Daqi were inherently more elite than those of the Eastern Region, making the strength on both lines comparable.
If Sumr Country underestimated Qi Army, thinking they might play tricks of deception, they would undoubtedly suffer greatly. For both lines could be considered as main forces!
This ti, one million elite troops from Qi Country invaded Sumr Country.
At Cao Jie’s command, they surged like a tidal wave, spreading across all of Sumr Country.
It is worth noting that Zhongxuan Zun, the vanguard general with freedom of action, chose to attack the eastern part of Sumr Country, clearly intending to suppress his fat brother.
At this mont, long-distance communication within the entire Xia Region has been completely isolated. Both Qi Xia lost the ability to remotely control the war in real-ti.
Cao Jie, along with Yan Ping and Ruan Qin, led nine soldiers against Si Jiao and Yu Liyang, facing off in Tong Yang City.
The Dao Principles probed and pursued each other, while the army and Soldier Slayer confronted from afar. Although Qi Army continued to attack the city, they maintained a constant pressure without escalating.
And so, the phase of comprehensive chaotic warfare, the new stage of battles, unfolded…
…
…
“Where… are we heading?”
Marching through a narrow valley, Jiang Wang was quite puzzled.
Xie Huaian had led the army into Linwu Mansion four days ago, and the thirty thousand coalition forces from Eastern Region countries were attacking and capturing cities everywhere, causing a heated battle. Zhongxuan Zun as the vanguard camp general displayed divine might, with individuals like Bao Bozhao and Xie Baoshu frequently achieving ritorious feats, causing almost simultaneous beacon fires in the eight cities north of Linwu Mansion…
But Zhongxuan Sheng kept his n on the move.
Moreover, he specifically chose unfrequented places, taking remote paths, seemingly incredibly familiar with the geography of Sumr Country!
Zhongxuan Sheng tapped his left index finger which wore a ring, and amid misty water, a detailed map of Sumr Country’s terrain appeared in midair.
This item could function even in the chaos of Lost World, let alone in Xia Region. Mountains, rivers, cities, and towns all appeared clearly.
The fat man glanced at it and said, “Almost there. This is the Frightened Dragon Valley, and further southwest for two hundred miles is Ximing City.”
Jiang Wang, though unfamiliar with the geography of Sumr Country, recognized the map, and after two glances, said with so surprise, “We’re almost reaching Hui Ming Mansion!”
Linwu Mansion had altogether twenty cities, and Ximing City was already the southernmost large city of this province.
Further south, it was already in the territory of Hui Ming Mansion.
“We’ve been a bit slow.” Zhongxuan Sheng looked back at the long, winding line of troops and said, “But to maintain combat power, we must proceed cautiously.”
The colorful battle flags had already been put away.
The troops marching for days all showed fatigue.
A force of three thousand, neither too many nor too few, was not easy to maneuver swiftly through mountains and forests.
These three thousand soldiers all from Autumn Kill were elite, and with the relationship of the Lian’s family, and Zhongxuan Pang willing to spend money, their equipnt was top-tier.
Various movent talismans and Qi Blood Pills were used generously, enabling them to keep up and to penetrate and bypass the controlled areas of Sumr Country, reaching here within three days.
Yet, Zhongxuan Sheng was still unsatisfied with the pace!
“It’s impossible to go faster.” Jiang Wang, having recently acquired considerable knowledge of marching and formation, casually remarked: “Unless it’s just the two of us alone.”
“What you know, I also know.” Zhongxuan Sheng mumbled lightly, not waiting for Jiang Wang to hear it clearly, and then ordered, “Stop the army and change uniforms!”
His personal soldiers retrieved sets of blue military uniforms from Storage Boxes and distributed them one by one —Zhongxuan Sheng’s personal soldiers were naturally his Shadow Guards, also serving as his flag bearers.
Not many accompanying, just about ten people. Qingzhuan, who had once escorted Jiang Wang to Bi Yu County, was among them.
At this mont, Jiang Wang easily deduced Zhongxuan Sheng’s intention, although he found these military uniforms quite unfamiliar.
“Which army’s attire is this?”
Jiang Wang asked while changing into it.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t use the Ruyi Immortal Clothes to transform, but he feared his observation might lack detail, leading to flaws and giving himself away.
“Shaokang Mansion’s provincial army.” Zhongxuan Sheng struggled to don the armor with the help of Shisi.
This specially crafted armor for the provincial general wrapped him like an iron can.
Shaokang Mansion was southwest of Hui Ming Mansion, bordering Jin’an Fu and Huaiqing Fu, with a small portion adjacent to Sang Fu. Being far from the front line gave its troops a reasonable justification to support Linwu Mansion—Sumr Court was already doing so, with provincial troops from various regions moving to the frontline.
