861 Charming And Gentle Old Temple (1/2)
”General Zong Yuan requests for orders. The enemy troops are afraid to fight, do we strike to break them?”
Kong Yao came back to her senses and looked towards the left wing. She instantly saw roughly 30,000 cavalry who were wearing red armor.
They were in front of the right wing of the Yue Army, charging and disturbing them constantly.
They were split into 10 groups, advancing and retreating as and when they wanted. Sometimes they sped up, sometimes they slowed down. Those various lines of troops were dazzling, like the most exquisite piece of art. It was extremely beautiful and filled one with awe.
This was the newly built Big Dipper Cavalry of Great Gan. It was similarly from the legacy of Great Qin, one of their basic soldier types. It was above average among Grade-4 Dao Soldiers, but they were extremely cheap and there was a huge number of them. When Great Qin was at their most prosperous, they could drown the entire Cloud World.
In this era, it could be considered an extremely Elite Cavalry Army.
To date, Great Gan had only built 30,000 of them. They were built after Qiuwei took control of the Privy Council and they were his babies.
Great Gan didn't have a huge enough number of Xiantian experts, however, those chosen all had a possibility to break into Xiantian in a few years…
At this moment, there were only 30,000 of them, but they had the aura of a million troops.
It caused the Yue Army to be exhausted dealing with them. Their originally orderly formations started to become chaotic. The soldiers had fear on their ashen white faces.
As Zong Yuan had said, the time was right.
In just one strike, they would be able to crush the left wing!
”Commander Zong is indeed an Unparalleled Famous General, you truly are invincible. We have been at a standstill for 6 hours and haven't even engaged. We have not even used the Blood Cavalry yet and have already placed them on their back foot. If we win this battle, Commander Zong will take first credit!”
At this moment, He Li praised from the side.
During this battle, the Pill Crane Race's job was to use Light Cavalry to strike all around, to disturb Yue Country territory and waste their troops.
In the month before, He Li led the members of his race to gallop all around South Wind Cloud Continent, only now did he have some free time.
In this kind of main force battle, the effects of the Crane Race Light Cavalry were really small. Fighting head-on wasn't their specialty.
This was why He Li was standing beside the Commander to spectate this battle.
”To Concubine Yao, the first credit should go to General He…”
Every time she called herself that her face couldn't help but flush red.
However, she had to do so, especially in the army where order and rules were most important.
At this moment, she wasn't the Left Army Inspector, but she was commanding all of Great Gan troops with her identity as Concubine.
When Zong Shou left, she took over from him to manage the situation.
Xuanyuan Yiren was engrossed in refining pills, trying to verify her Dao through pill refining. Even if she bothered with such matters occasionally, it would mostly be government matters.
Like Zong Shou, if it was something she wasn't good at, she wouldn't casually interfere in it.
Great Gan seemed like it was safe but it was actually in a dangerous situation. She couldn't represent Zong Shou to take charge of all the war matters of Great Gan.
Zong Shou let go of his power, allowing her to mobilise troops to fight wars on all fronts. This was something she dreamt of doing for her entire life.
”Without General He and the Sky Fox Race disturbing their territory to send them into chaos, our troops wouldn't have been able to successfully disembark on the Cloud Continent…”
He Li smiled, he didn't argue but there was also no gleeful smile on his face.
It was true that without their month of tough battles which caused the Yue Army to have no choice but to retreat to the backlines, Great Gan wouldn't have been able to attack their way up the shore so easily.
However, without those thousands of warships, two million troops outside on the Cloud Ocean which drew up to 90% of the Yue Army, how would they be able to move about so freely within Yue Country?
This was not the sole credit of their Pill Crane Race, the Sky Fox Race also contributed greatly.
The Crane Race had light bodies and were able to fly, the Fox Race was good at Illusionary Techniques, the both of them working together helped to buff their strengths.
”I see that there are many Taoists opposite, it really is true. They really want to interfere in this matter. These people didn't have the strength to turn the battle abound, but they could assassinate the Commander. Concubine, please be careful.”
”They are just clowns.”
Kong Yao looked out. Dozens of miles away, those closely packed people could see the Yue Country Ruler, Ruan Weiling, on the carriage.
His eyes were dyed red, his expression was filled with rage. A few months ago, he had already seen his own fate and his face was a sickly white.
She had heard that since this person retreated in defeat from Huizhou, he was drunk with wine and beauties, not worrying about political matters and did many preposterous things.
Speaking of which, he couldn't be blamed. Zhang Huai had beaten him too badly previously in Huizhou.
Close to 80% of his elite troops were wiped out. Close to 1,000 of their Warships had fallen in the Cloud Ocean.
During this year, he was locked down by the Great Gan navy, cutting off almost all trade.
The powers within the country were instigated and provoked by Great Gan, chaos breaking out all around.
This battle was a struggle to the death. This intelligent mighty lord naturally knew that there was no way out of the situation that he faced, at all.
Although the Taoist Faction interfered, however, before one had absolute confidence, they wouldn't interfere too deeply.
The more capable one was, the crazier one would be when they were in despair. It wasn't surprising what kind of things he would do.
However, talking about lust, Kong Yao couldn't help but think back to that night.
She couldn't help but scoff, he most probably couldn't compare to that fellow…
