Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2204 The Great Yan Navy Enters the Game, Xuanyuan Huang Army Returns to the East Sea

In Wudi City, Xuanyuan Xuanxiao used all sorts of lures—gold, silver, official positions, martial arts manuals—to tempt the martial artists within the city to work for him.

The Xuanyuan family possesses a mobile arsenal like Xuanyuan Dapan, capable of producing a wide array of techniques, including swordplay, spearmanship, and internal energy cultivation. Moreover, the quality of these techniques is quite high.

At the same time, Qi Bo also used his reputation to help Xuan Yuan Xuan Xiao win over the martial arts practitioners in the city.

Qi Bo was a master of medicine, and such a person left behind a great deal of kindness throughout his life.

Moreover, few people would refuse his favor.

With a large number of martial arts practitioners organized, Zhu Wenlong was also a great general, Xuan Yuanxuan was brave and skilled in battle, and Wen Huanzhang and Xu Guanzhong were both strategists.

Although Zhu Wenlong is a local, he is quite capable, and his leadership skills are among the best in the Heavenly Realm.

In the original historical trajectory, he and his younger brother Zhu Wenzhao were both among the top generals of the Celestial Masters sect.

With concerted efforts, despite losing nearly 10,000 soldiers, they managed to survive the first few days.

In just a few days, the remaining troops also quickly matured. At least, they weren't as panicked as they had been in the first few days.

In this way, they managed to get through the most difficult few days.

Once their troops were somewhat more established, sure enough, given the disparity in troop strength, the enemy might not be able to launch a counterattack. However, with the city fortified and defended, it would be much more difficult for Fu Youde to break through.

Thus, the situation in Wudi City reached a stalemate.

Xuanyuan Xuanxiao dared not rush out easily, but Fu Youde and his group also had little chance of breaking in.

Fu Youde and his men, of course, would not give up. Although they slowed down the intensity of the attack, they still kept a tight hold on the area.

The city of Wudi will not have much stored grain, and their troops will not carry large quantities of provisions when they set out.

Therefore, Fu Youde estimated that the enemy's supplies would only last them for a little over a month, but less than two months.

As long as they besiege the city and slowly wear down the enemy, they can eliminate them effortlessly when the enemy runs out of supplies.

Meanwhile, Chang Zhongxing wasn't the only one to take action because of the fact that Crown Prince Xuanyuan Xuanxiao of the Great Yan Dynasty was trapped in Wudi City.

The reason he acted first was because he was the closest Great Yan army to Wudi City.

Upon receiving the message, Xuanyuan Huang and Xu You, the commander of the Great Yan Navy who was at sea confronting Mo Peng, both reacted accordingly.

Upon receiving the message, Xu You immediately broke free from Mo Peng's entanglement and rushed directly towards the port of Wudi City.

However, Xu You was already a veteran general during the original Da Cang era, so he did not act rashly.

After all, they were evenly matched with Mo Peng's forces. However, there was still a Heavenly River Navy at the port of Martial Emperor City.

In terms of overall combat strength, the Tianhe Navy is inferior to the Dayan Navy or the Yanbei Navy. The latter two are positioned as naval forces at sea, while the Tianhe Navy is positioned for inland rivers. The size of the warships of the two sides is not the same.

However, even if the Tianhe Navy is not as good as the Dayan Navy in terms of overall level, they still have the Yanbei Navy, which is of the same level, chasing after them.

If you are attacked by both of them, you will not have a good outcome.

Therefore, Xu You did not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, nor did he easily plunge in. If his troops were present in the surrounding area, it would be the most direct deterrent to the enemy's attacking forces, and they would also have to be on guard.

Xu You was also waiting, waiting for an opportunity to pounce on him.

As for Mo Peng and Shi Lang, they were also waiting, waiting for Xu You to pounce on them.

And that opportunity arrived very soon.

Xuanyuan Huang's reinforcements have arrived.

His personal return with troops to reinforce the city was not entirely unexpected, given that this was not only his eldest son.

Moreover, he is the crown prince of the Great Yan Dynasty. If he falls into the hands of the Great Han Dynasty, it could directly shake the foundation of the nation.

Even the mere fact that he is trapped here could shake the very foundations of the nation.

Xuanyuan Huang did not bring back many people, only 15,000 cavalry.

With 15,000 cavalry, as long as the commander is somewhat competent, dealing with the 40,000-strong Polang Army, which is mainly composed of infantry, shouldn't be too difficult.

Even if the Tianhe Navy and the Yanbei Navy land together, 15,000 cavalry would be more than enough to handle the situation.

After all, the Great Yan also had 3 naval troops at sea as support.

The Celestial Masters Sect's cavalry force was not large. Apart from the three thousand Black Spear Dragon Cavalry, out of the five hundred thousand troops, there were only thirty thousand cavalry at most.

Xuanyuan Huang was determined to save his eldest son, and in one fell swoop, he pulled back half of the cavalry from the front line.

This determination is undeniably resolute.

Xuanyuan Huang's army was not so easily discovered, nor was it constantly being watched.

Even if the Han Dynasty deployed a large number of scouts, given the speed of the cavalry's march and their full-force charge, it was far from ideal whether the enemy could be spotted in time before they arrived. They wouldn't have enough time to react and form a battle formation to counter the cavalry's charge.

Therefore, Shi Lang decided to arrange for a troop to guard the key route.

The main objective of this force is not just to besiege the point and annihilate the reinforcements, but to deal with any force that they cannot defeat. If they can hold them off for a moment, it will buy time for Fu Youde and his men to form their ranks.

However, how long can their three thousand soldiers hold off the charge of tens of thousands of cavalry?

Even though Lu Su had made sufficient preparations beforehand, digging traps around their camp and setting up a large number of barricades, it was still difficult to overcome them.

However, it only caused some trouble for the Great Yan cavalry, and they still managed to break through their camp with unstoppable momentum.

If Ling Gan hadn't protected him and helped him break through, and if the cavalry of the Great Yan hadn't wanted to get entangled with them, even Lu Su would have been left here.

However, although Lu Su did not hold them off for too long, that brief moment was still useful, enough for Fu Youde to prepare for the cavalry charge.

Infantry, as long as they form a tight formation, are not afraid of cavalry charges. What they fear most is being suddenly attacked without preparation, especially during a siege. If they are attacked from the side, it will be a one-sided massacre.

At the same time, Xu You's troops, who had been navigating the sea, also began to rush towards the Wudi City ferry.
