Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1724: Chapter 131: Wang Fugui VS Demonic Corpse Battalion

…

At the same time, Wang’s Civilian Corps achieved a small military loss against Chao’s Demon Falcon Battle Group.

Liang Country Group Army Marshal, Prince Zhenyang Jiang Chengyang, following the secret letter instructions from Liang’s [Emperor Qingyu], held a legion leader-level meeting overnight, and the next day began a full-scale attack on Yan Country Group Army.

This was a battle both sides had planned for a long time, with multiple strategies for both offense and defense internally, and they had simulated the battlefield conditions many times.

This active assault was different from previous probing skirmishes; it was a full-scale large battle campaign capable of decisively determining the outcome—victors becoming kings and losers becoming outlaws.

Among the five major armies of Liang, the Haode Corps led by Prince Haode acted as the vanguard. This corps had always been stationed around the [Victory Guard] near the banks of the Huai River. Victory Guard is a large port guard city, which has built numerous warships and ferries over the years.

Within the Haode Corps, there are three battalions that are well-trained naval units. They crossed the river by boat, moving southward smoothly, reaching the outskirts of Yan’s Huaijin Guard within two hours.

Following that, large ferries carried numerous combat camps, charging alongside the warships.

The mission of the Haode Corps was to land on the beach within one day, creating landing space for the subsequent troops.

Even before the warships engaged, the aerial scout units had already started fighting fiercely. These air cavalry units are the elite of both corps, with over a hundred pure aerial units on each side, all being Tianren Realm Cultivators, riding a variety of air cavalry mounts ranging from winged horses to various large Spirit Birds, and even flying tigers.

Although Tianren Realm Cultivators can fly, riding flying Spirit Beasts saves a lot of Mysterious Energy and increases speed. Clearly, the Haode Corps and Burn Moon Corps, as the vanguards of each group army, are among the main corps of both sides.

The intense battle erupted suddenly, with Mysterious Energy bursts, flying swords streaking through the air, and Talismans exploding. Tianren Realm Cultivators and Spirit Birds, flying horses, kept falling into the Huai River.

Since Liang Country initiated the attack, the aerial units of the central Zhenyang Corps secretly joined the Haode Corps. They hid in a troop transport ferry, taking advantage of the aerial collision between the opposing air cavalry to immediately join the fight.

The Zhenyang Corps is the strongest main force, gathering a total of 150 air cavalry units. They divided into two teams to unexpectedly intercept the enemy air cavalry from behind, fiercely shredding them, causing the enemy air cavalry to instantly collapse and scatter in all directions.

Subsequently, the air cavalry attacked in conjunction with warships, launching a fierce assault on Yan’s [Huaijin Guard], forcefully piercing a gap for subsequent troops to land.

The unexpected combat situation gave Liang Country’s army a significant advantage.

And as Liang Country suddenly opened the war, news of the battle transmitted swiftly to Yan’s Group Army Marshal, Prince Huaiyin, through precious communication Talismans.

Prince Huaiyin was not angry but pleased, anticipating that Liang Country would surely adopt an offensive posture. He hadn’t expected Prince Zhenyang to “decide so swiftly,” with no sign of hesitation.

The frontline suffered a slight loss, but it did not affect the overall situation. As long as Liang Country Group Army dared to launch a full-scale attack, it fell right into his trap. Immediately, Marshal Prince Huaiyin ordered the entire army to act according to the predetermined plan.

Meanwhile, he personally led the central Huaiyin Corps, directly heading to Huaijin Guard to support the Burn Moon Corps, aiming to firmly hold back Liang’s Haode and Zhenyang major corps.

Simultaneously, war reports and battle orders swiftly dispatched to various troops.

In an instant, the battle between the two armies commenced.

The Yan Country Group Army’s left wing [Anhai Army Corps], Prince Anhai also immediately held a combat meeting.

He hadn’t expected that just after finishing a meeting at Group Army headquarters and returning, the two countries’ decisive battle had already begun before he even warmed his seat.

Aside from the trusted aide regiment, Anhai Corps has a total of eight direct battalions.

They are responsible for the combat missions of the group’s left wing, currently defending lines covering three guard cities along the Huai River, involving a total waterfront line of over three hundred miles, with their own naval forces, aerial scouts, and other units.

On the wall of the combat meeting room hangs a large map of the two prefectures Huaiyang and Huaiyin, occupying almost the entire wall. The mountains, rivers, fortresses are depicted in great detail.

In the center of the meeting room lies a large sandbox of Anhai Corps’ garrison area and Qingfen Corps’ garrison area. The sandbox is marked with flags of different colors and related symbols showing both sides’ marching routes, which makes it clear at a glance.

These are results of continuous investigations by aerial scouts.

Prince Anhai glanced at the eight direct battalion leaders, clarifying in a resonant voice, “Gentlemen, Liang Country has suddenly initiated a full-scale attack. Our aerial scouts have also sent back news that our old rival Qingfen Corps has begun mobilizing battalions, attempting a general assault on our defensive line.”

“According to the established plan, we will first adopt defensive sniper tactics. Each battalion will guard key landing areas according to the predefined defensive targets, especially at ’Qiansha Ferry’ and ’Beian Ferry’ defended by the first and third battalions. If the Qingfen Corps captures these, they can use them as bases to penetrate the belly of our defense, hence they must be held.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” The battalion leaders replied one after another.

“The key point in this battle…”

Prince Anhai spoke halfway, his gaze instinctively turning to the “ninth battalion leader” beside him.

He was a tall, thin man wearing a dark robe.
