Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1600: Chapter 502: 100 Xianyang, Zhongyang Battle Situation_3

Yang Qin pondered for a moment, then turned his head to look at the large black tents three hundred meters away on the east side, a glint of coldness flashed through his pupils.

“The terrain at Linya is even less favorable than Zhongyang’s, and it’s too far from the town center. Instead of dividing our forces to defend two places, it’s better to concentrate them together. Although Great Xia has only sent ten thousand troops, there are three elite units among them—Commander Mu Qinghe of the Yellow Armor Army, Commander Xiao Kangcheng of the Xiao Mountain Army, Commander Xiahou Cen of the Red Sun Army—and with Mu Longhe, that makes four Xianyang Levels in total!”

The large-scale movement of the Xia Army couldn’t be concealed from the Xianyang Level. When Mu Longhe led his ten thousand troops marching toward the west side, Zhongyang Camp received the news immediately.

Before receiving the news, Yang Qin had already ordered the soldiers to start building trenches based on the terrain of Zhongyang Camp. However, he had originally assumed that after the Xia Army occupied Lower Dongchuan, they would head south to continue attacking Bai Mu and Kuling, so he didn’t urge the soldiers to speed up due to a defense that wasn’t considered too heavy.

His estimation was correct to some extent; the Xia Army in Dongchuan indeed headed south to attack Bai Mu, but he didn’t expect that Xia Chuan would divide ten thousand troops for Mu Longhe to attack Zhongyang from the west.

It’s already impressive enough for Great Xia to start four routes of warfare; a single Left Army dared to split ten thousand troops out to open a new front.

Upon abruptly learning this news, Yang Qin’s reaction was similar to those of his father Yang Zhun and his uncles; they all felt that Great Xia was indeed overly arrogant.

Yet, after calming down, Yang Qin dared not be careless.

The strength of the Xia Army is truly frightening.

He had just conducted a close observation of the ten thousand Xia troops with his cousin Yang Ping. Of course, the focus was on the three numbered armies. The ordinary soldiers all had strength above 6 Zhu, and the team captains in the army generally had strength above 10 Zhu, while the Colonels leading each camp were all above 20 Zhu;

Cultivation is secondary, but the key is the armor equipped by these soldiers. Although it’s also at the Thousand Forged level, it differs from the ordinary Thousand Forged Iron Armor; clearly, the Xia Army’s armor is blended with other materials, and it’s obvious without testing that its defense is definitely superior to ordinary Thousand Forged Armor.

“Great Xia’s casting technique is already stronger than ours in the Northern Towns; the war armor and weapons used by their soldiers must outmatch ours…”

In terms of cultivation, war armor, and weapons, all three aspects are not as good as the enemy. Fortunately, being on the defensive side; if it were direct combat, Yang Qin estimated that his ten thousand men would definitely not withstand the Xia Army’s offensive.

“Big brother, the people from East Ridge have already come up from the Southwest Mountain Road. They have sent a thousand men, personally led by Lu Yang’s eldest disciple Lu Yun, bringing us a total of two million jins of beast meat.”

As Second Brother Yang Ping approached, Yang Qin sensed it, and upon hearing his words, his eyes lit up, and he turned to ask, “Two million jins of beast meat, this Lu Yang is so generous?”

Two million jins of beast meat, even for Beishuo Town, is not a small amount. Although East Ridge has decent strength, it is still, in essence, a village-level camp. As far as he knows, its population is only about 190,000; taking out two million jins of beast meat at once is certainly not easy.

Yang Ping’s face was full of smiles as he nodded and said: “This Lu Yang seems to be swayed by Third Uncle’s words; as long as we can block this wave of the Xia Army, everything in Jingxi will belong to him from now on, how could he not be focused?”

Yang Fa, upon coming from East Ridge, immediately arrived at Zhongyang Camp and informed the two of Lu Yang’s intent to transfer supplies, so Yang Qin was also aware of the situation.

Thinking of Lu Yang’s wishful thinking, he sneered lightly at first, then remembering something, he asked, “Are the thousand men he brought all at Cold Resistance Level Cultivation?”

Yang Ping immediately shook his head, saying: “Not all, only 300 are at Cold Resistance Level, and their strength is fairly average. The main force of East Ridge should have been taken by Lu Yang to Jingxi Camp.”

A transport team with 300 Cold Resistance Level individuals is already quite remarkable.

Upon hearing this, Yang Qin didn’t say anything further, just nodded and said, “Settle them in for now! Keep sending people to monitor the Southwest Mountain Road; idle individuals are not allowed to approach, be on guard for Xia Army ambushes.”

“Yes!”

Yang Ping immediately clasped his hands, nodded, and swiftly went down to make arrangements.

Yang Ping continued to stand above ground, staring intensely at the Xia Army’s tents on the east side.
