Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2195 The Han Army Launches a Surprise Attack on the East Sea, Battle of Baidi City Under Emperor Wu

“Mengsun, since you insist on this, then I will hand over Master Kunpeng to your side!” Li Jing said after thinking for a moment.

Li Jing was very supportive of Zhang Bin's idea.

Although going to the enemy camp is a bit risky, the rewards are indeed very high.

Even after the major defeat in the southern border, the Zhennan Army still has nearly 200,000 troops in total, even when combined from all directions.

If, as Zhang Bin suspected, it was possible to win over these people and make them work for the Han Dynasty, then given the risk-reward ratio, it would certainly be worthwhile.

When Li Jing was away on campaign, Wang Yu arranged for Kunpeng, a top expert at the peak of the Celestial Realm, to be his bodyguard.

In contrast, Yue Fei only had Cihang, who was at the mid-stage of the Celestial Realm.

After all, Yue Fei's fighting skills were far superior to Li Jing's; he was a master general of divine skill.

"General Pharmacist, how could you do this!"

"These are guards sent by His Majesty to protect you, General!"

"Furthermore, in recent years, there have been more than one case of assassination by celestial beings, so General, you should still be careful to guard against it!" Zhang Bin shook his head and said.

Li Jing is far more important than him here; hundreds of thousands of troops are under Li Jing's command.

If Li Jing's personal safety cannot be guaranteed, then the hundreds of thousands of troops will be threatened.

In comparison, his personal safety is nothing.

Assassination attempts by both the divine and the divine: there are always those in the world who refuse to follow the rules.

In particular, after that incident in the Great Qian Dynasty, there were celestial beings who embarrassed the Great Qian royal family more than once or twice.

Although the Great Wei also experienced assassination attempts by celestial beings, everyone was happy to intervene, and the four schools of Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, and Buddhism jointly dispatched personnel to investigate the situation.

But on the Daqian side, nobody was willing to care. Wasn't this all their own doing?

"It doesn't matter!"

“Even if Master Kunpeng is not here, I have Mr. Wang Xianzhi, Tetis, and Koos by my side, so my safety is naturally not a concern!” Li Jing said nonchalantly.

Since Li Jing had already exposed Koos in order to seize Guangyang Road, Tetis could naturally be "resurrected" as well.

Both of these people are experts at the mid-stage of the Celestial Realm, enough to protect his safety.

After all, even if a truly unparalleled master appeared, it's not expected that just the two of them could defeat the opponent; he also has hundreds of thousands of troops by his side!

As for Wang Xianzhi, Tetis and Koos, one sold Xuanyuan Huang's own son, while the other sold a whole quarter of Xuanyuan Huang's territory, which was an entire Dao.

At this point, if Wang Xianzhi doesn't leave Wudi City, is he just waiting for their army to come and annihilate him?
Although he can only unleash his peak Celestial Realm level combat power within Martial Emperor City, and outside of Martial Emperor City he is only considered a relatively strong late-stage Celestial Realm cultivator, it doesn't mean he can't move an inch.

However, Wang Xianzhi was much more aloof. He was only staying in the camp as a guest for the time being, and not many people even knew that he had appeared in the camp.

Li Jing couldn't persuade Kunpeng to go on the business trip in his place. Hearing that there was such a powerful expert in the camp, Zhang Bin didn't say anything more. The name of Wang Xianzhi from Donghai Martial Emperor City was very well-known throughout Da Cang.

As for Wang Xianzhi, after leaving Wudi City, he did not expect that his Wudi City had become a battlefield.

Yue Fei's army numbered over 400,000, and his forces actually constituted the majority of the troops in this campaign against the Yan.

However, although Yue Fei's army was large, 100,000 of them were naval troops from the Fierce Whale Legion, including 60,000 pure naval troops. Yue Fei certainly wouldn't waste them on land.

The cost and difficulty of training a qualified naval officer is much greater than that of training an ordinary infantryman, requiring significantly more time and resources.

On the other side of Yue Fei, almost half of the Great Yan's troops and most of its elite forces were concentrated, plus Xuan Yuanhuang, a commander with a basic rank of 103, was personally stationed there.

Therefore, Yue Fei faced extreme difficulties in advancing his campaign.

Half of Qingnan Road was only taken thanks to Li Jing's efforts.

At this time, although the Great Yan had lost most of its territory—half of Qingnan Road, nine of the ten counties of Heyang, and the entire Guangyang Road—their main force was still intact.

After all, although the Great Yan lost a lot of land, a considerable portion of it was actually given away voluntarily.

After Li Jing captured Guangyang Road, Yue Fei had already decided to play the Fierce Whale Legion card, sending them by sea to bypass Xuanyuan Huang in front and directly attack the Great Yan's main base, Donghai Road.

He believed that even without prior consultation with Li Jing, once Li Jing learned that they had launched a joint attack on the East China Sea from both land and sea, he would certainly coordinate with them from another direction to launch a pincer attack.

As the birthplace of the Great Yan Dynasty, if the East Coast were to encounter any problems, the Great Yan would inevitably experience turmoil on the front lines.

At that point, Xuanyuan Huang will surely send troops south to reinforce him. This will give Yue Fei an opportunity to break through Xuanyuan Huang's defenses head-on.

If Xuanyuan Huang were to sit idly by and allow the East China Sea to fall into trouble, Yue Fei would be even happier. Once the East China Sea falls, they could completely surround Xuanyuan Huang from all sides. At that time, how could the other side possibly survive?
There are still 100,000 troops in the Tokaido region, of which 30,000 were lost here.

After discussing the matter, Mo Peng, the general of the Fierce Whale Legion, along with Shi Lang, Fu Youde, and their advisors Qiu Yeluo, Lu Su, Liu Dong, and Qiu Yeling, led a group of people to make a decision.

Ultimately, relying on the superior strength and number of warships of the enemy's navy, Mo Peng decided to employ a feint attack.

Mo Peng personally launched a large-scale, frontal attack, displaying an attitude of wanting to wipe out the Great Yan Navy and completely turn the East China Sea into their backyard.

After Mo Peng drew the attention of the Great Yan navy away, Shi Lang led the Tianhe Navy and the Polang Army to land at Wudi City, quickly establishing a foothold in the East China Sea and forming their bridgehead.

The Tokaido region doesn't have many other notable features, except for its numerous large ferry crossings. The largest port in the former Osaka region was located in Tokaido.

Therefore, this is where the 100,000-strong East China Sea Navy was stationed.

That is precisely why, for other paths and teams of this size, finding a suitable path may not be a great option.

However, in the Tokaido region, there are relatively more options.

Ultimately, Shi Lang chose the ferry crossing outside Wudi City as his landing point.

However, Shi Lang could not have expected that his luck would be so good that the direction he chose would actually run into the Crown Prince Xuan Yuan Xuan Xiao of the Great Yan Dynasty.
