Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1686: Chapter 534: Clash—Heavenly Thunder Meets Earthly Fire

“Qin Feng’s fifty thousand troops haven’t arrived at Wuchuan City!”

Xu Ning, rushing nonstop to Wuchuan City, quickly explained the situation to Xia Chuan, but the response he received left him instantly dumbfounded.

He was stunned for just a moment before quickly realizing something. His expression changed abruptly as he looked at Xia Chuan, only to find that Xia Chuan’s face looked no better than his own.

Pah…

“Clearly, before the battle, each of the four armies was equipped with three thousand Yellow Candles, and yet Luo Yuan still fell into the trap. How could he be a Central Marshal?”

Xia Chuan slammed the table and stood up directly from his chair.

Xu Ning’s expression was somber as he said: “The scouts were too careless. The Wuchuan army camp and East Valley City are only two or three kilometers apart, and Marshal Luo has been watching from above. Who knew that the group in Cai Qiu’s faction could use deceitful techniques right under his nose…”

“Foolishness is foolishness. Military affairs allow no carelessness. That’s fifty thousand troops, with top-tier strength from Cai Qiu assisting; it’s enough to turn the tide of the battle. This is really troublesome now.”

Hearing Xia Chuan’s tone so serious, Xu Ning was momentarily dazed but quickly reacted, exclaiming: “They wouldn’t be…”

“No need to think about it; they must be advancing east to Aikou. There are only two battlefields in the Northern Land now. Cai Qianshan knows, even if Qin Feng’s fifty thousand troops returned to Wuchuan City, it would be useless. As long as he can rout our Great Xia’s Right Route Army and free Jinshan Town from Aikou, he can truly solve Wuchuan City’s crisis. Ah, what a cunning Landgrave Cai Qiu, indeed crafty!”

Xu Ning’s face instantly turned much uglier.

The Right Route Army under Aikou City has only forty thousand men in total. If Qin Feng’s fifty thousand troops go there, and Jinshan Town’s sixty thousand troops pour out, that would be a total of one hundred ten thousand men.

The Right Route Army has a Lord stationed there, but Cai Qianshan is there too, and he saw the whole discussion between the Lord and Cai Qianshan last night. Cai Qiu is now determined to help Jinshan Wuchuan resist Great Xia; who knows how many troops will be drawn from the feudal town?

If this is the case, Aikou City will be in danger!

“Quickly notify Luo Yuan, tell him not to come to Wuchuan City but immediately lead the army east to aid Aikou; also send people separately to Dragon Valley and Yangqu, inform Li Yangtian and Yuan Cheng to swiftly assist Aikou, without any mistakes.”

“Understood, Sir!”

Xu Ning immediately bowed to accept the command; he is the Command Flag, specializing in walking between the four armies to deliver military reports, which is his task.

Thus, just having arrived at Wuchuan City, Xu Ning, who hasn’t spoken much with Xia Chuan, turned around and flew south toward Luo Yuan’s army.

“Minister, are we going to continue besieging Wuchuan City without moving?”

Inside the main tent, there are many generals. Seeing Xu Ning leave, Cloud Dragon Army Commander Liu Yuan immediately stepped forward to inquire, his eyes full of eagerness.

Xia Chuan met his gaze and instantly guessed what he was thinking.

But he did not speak, instead turning to look at the other generals in the tent.

The twenty thousand elite Xia Army besieging Wuchuan City is composed of eight numbered armies plus Dragon Forbidden Captain, so such generals as Liu Yuan, Zhou Yuan, Meng Yi, Zhao Long, Hou Tong, Mu Longhe, Mu Qinghe, and Tie Xinchuan, the Dragon Forbidden Captain, are all present.

Everyone’s pupils are full of battle intent, and clearly, they do not see Wuchuan’s sturdy defense as something to fear. As soon as Xia Chuan gives the order, they are ready to attack the city walls.

“No!”

Despite the overflowing battle intent among everyone, Xia Chuan, after pondering, still shook his head.

“It’s just nightfall, and there are already twenty thousand Earth-digging Realm inside Wuchuan City, not to mention Cai Qiu is determined to help them now. Who knows if Cai Qiu has sent anyone into the city? Without the Lord, we have no high-end combat strength. Two thousand people attacking the city recklessly have very small chances of success!”

“Minister, could we transfer Lord Yue’s ten thousand troops over? Besides, isn’t there still…”

“We’ve only broken Beishuo City for less than two days, and it’s unknown whether the Yang Family relatives within and Beishuo loyalists have been handled properly; Yue Feng can’t move, and the twenty thousand troops in East River City are even more impossible. Cai Qiu is now determined to intervene, and we don’t know what Chen Cang’s reaction is, who…”

“Reporting, Minister, there is urgent military intelligence from East River!”

What we fear has come. Before Xia Chuan’s words were finished, an urgent voice came from outside the tent.

“Come in quickly!”

Xia Chuan’s face changed slightly and quickly motioned for the scout to come in.

A dusty scout quickly entered from outside the tent, and clearly, the situation was too urgent; the scout even forgot the courtesy of bowing and directly spoke to Xia Chuan: “Minister, a northern scout from Danxue Peak reported that Chen Cang has sent a large number of spies to explore the Blood Corridor, and Yanling County has dispatched a large number of manpower to clear the snow path on the north side of Blood Corridor.”

Hearing this intelligence, everyone’s expression in the tent instantly changed.

Danxue Peak is just north of East River City, and behind the peak is Jiuqu Blood Corridor; passing through Jiuqu Blood Corridor leads directly to Yanling County of Chen Cang.

A large number of spies exploring Blood Corridor and Yanling County dispatching manpower to clear the snow path; this clearly is preparation for marching.

Chen Cang is going to intervene!

“Isn’t this the first strong feud of Moao River? Taking advantage of our battle with Cai Qiu to reap benefits, despicable and shameless!”

“The Lord stated that the shrinking miasma is a deceitful monster’s trick, just to make our human camps infight, but these two vassal landgraves don’t care at all, and they’re all going to send troops south.”

“There’s already news from the opposite side of Bone-Eroding Path that Cai Qiu’s army is gathering in Evergreen Valley, expected to pass through Bone-Eroding Path within three days, both vassals are sending troops south.”

……

Upon hearing that Chen Cang is sending troops south, the emotions of the generals in the tent were mixed; some cursed angrily, some had gloomy expressions, and others showed deep concern. Clearly, they were pessimistic about the upcoming battles.
