Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2374 Yang Jian Enters Yangdong, Yan Xing Rebels Against Jiang Qian

Yangdong Road.

At this time, Yue Fei was in charge of the Iron Lion Army and part of the Flying Feather Army, which were close to the two major armies. He was pressing Jiang Chaoyu step by step, trapping him in the three counties in the southeast of Yangdong and constantly compressing their living space.

The three counties, once the front line of Zhennan, had countless fortified villages of all sizes.

The ancient town of Zhennan relied on these countless fortified villages, with several core strongholds forming the impregnable front line of defense.

Before the war against the Song Dynasty ended, Yue Fei's tactics were actually more conservative.

After all, this wasn't the main battlefield, and Yangdong Road wasn't something they absolutely needed to take. As long as they could capture Zhao Song and surround Yangdong Road from three sides, there were plenty of ways to gradually erode it.

However, if he were to act rashly or make any mistakes, it could very well have directly impacted the progress of the campaign against the Song Dynasty at that time.

Only after the war against the Song Dynasty came to a complete end did Yue Fei change his previous strategy of advancing step by step and steadily.

Jiang Chaoyu, in the three southern prefectures, centered his forces on Wang County and Long County, with his son Jiang Xiaobai and general Wei Zhao respectively stationed in the two counties to resist the generals Yue Fei and Guo Ziyi.

Yue Fei had besieged Wang County for more than two months.

During the two months that followed, Yue Fei attacked the city while simultaneously sending Zhang Xian and other generals to deal with the surrounding fortified villages, thus completely isolating the city.

However, Zhang Xian's operation was clearly not easy. Jiang Chaoyu, who was stationed in the rear, kept sending troops to harass him. As a result, after more than two months, Zhang Xian had only completed a little over half of the planned progress.

Moreover, this was based on the fact that the Ma family had a strong base of support in Yangdong, and wherever the army went, there were many powerful clans in Yangdong who acted as internal agents or accomplices.

As for Yue Fei's side, their morale had been dampened by Zhang Xuanliang's constant challenges over the past two months.

After all, Zhang Xuanliang had already proven his strength in previous battles, having single-handedly fought against Yang Zaixing, Ma Sui, and the three generals in yellow robes.

The outcome of that battle was not easy; due to the sudden intervention of the other Great Qian generals, Yang Zaixing was even injured.

No one under Yue Fei could rival him.

It wasn't until the beginning of the year, when Guo Ziyi dealt with Zong Ze and brought Wang Feng, Pei Yuanqing, and a group of experts, that he began to reverse the situation of insufficient high-end combat power under his command.

With the end of the war against Song, the conflict in Dali also quickly subsided. A few days ago, Generals Yang Jian, Alcyoneus, and Pallas were urgently transferred there, which allowed the high-end combat forces of both sides to be completely switched.

Having launched a fierce attack for more than two months, Yue Fei believed that the time was ripe to capture Wang County, and thus he began to plan the final all-out offensive.

At this moment, outside Wang County, among the massive Han army, Yue Fei, riding a warhorse, stood at the forefront, followed closely by five generals: Yang Jian, Yang Zaixing, Ma Sui, Alcuonius, and Pallas.

As for Huang Pao, Wang Yanzhang, Wang Feng, Pei Yuanqing, and the others, they were following Guo Ziyi at this time.

After all, the strength of Jiang Xiaohei and Bai Jiwu in Guo Ziyi's camp should not be underestimated. Jiang Xiaohei, in particular, with the amplification of his combination skills, is not only stronger than Zhang Xuanliang, who has already become a true god general, but also far superior to ordinary high-level god generals.

Wangxian was undoubtedly an important town with complete military defenses, but it had been almost completely destroyed by Yue Fei in the fierce battles that had taken place over the previous two months.

Yue Fei personally selected 30,000 of his 100,000-strong army, the most elite among them, and, under the cover of hundreds of catapults, led a fierce attack with generals like Yang Jian as the spearhead. "Ding! Yue Fei's Martial Arts Skill Effect Five activated. When he is the commander-in-chief, he seals all army-wide martial power amplification effects on both sides, except those related to himself. Currently sealing Jiang Xiaobai..."

"Ding! Yue Fei's Martial Saint skill effect has been activated. He will be treated as the main general leading troops into battle. When facing his own people, his leadership will increase by 1, and when facing other people, his leadership will increase by 3. His base leadership is 102, and his loyalty is 1. His current leadership has increased to 104."

Commander Yue Fei personally beat the drum and directed the army to attack the north gate of Wang County, which naturally boosted the morale of the Han army participating in the siege. In addition, a number of fierce generals of the Han army joined in, and for a time the defending army was unable to raise its head.

However, Jiang Xiaobai's troops were all brave and skilled warriors, seasoned veterans, and with a great general like Zhang Xuanliang at their side, they were not as easy to defeat as Yue Fei.

After a day of continuous and fierce siege warfare, night finally fell, and Jiang Xiaobai thought he could finally catch his breath.

However, to everyone's surprise, Yue Fei ordered the construction of numerous fire platforms and the lighting of countless torches, intending to launch a night attack on the city.

This unusual behavior immediately alerted Jiang Xiaobai.

However, at this moment, he had no time to continue thinking like that; he could only continue to muster his troops and do everything in his power to resist Yue Fei's attack.

Meanwhile, as darkness fell, a series of shadowy figures entered a house in the city.

An unknown change is about to begin as these shadowy figures continue to enter the night.

"Fellow clan leaders, we are all subjects of Yangdong Gucang."

"But since the Qian army invaded our territory, how many people of Yangdong have suffered heavy casualties?"

"Faced with all that blood and bones, can we really be at peace with ourselves? Won't we wake up in terror in the middle of the night?"

"Today is the day we settle our blood debts!" ​​Yan Xing declared passionately to the clan leaders.

"Alright, Yan Xing, there's no point in saying more!"

"Let's act quickly. You should know that if today's operation fails, none of us will have a good ending!" one of the family patriarchs replied irritably.

None of the powerful figures or aristocratic families present had the slightest goodwill towards Yan Xing.

After all, before this, after Jiang Chaoyu led the Qian Army into the country, it was because Yan Xing's father-in-law Han Sui, along with Liang Xing, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin and other local powerful figures, betrayed the Zhennan Army and defected to Jiang Chaoyu that a large number of fortified villages scattered throughout the three prefectures fell in a short period of time.

If it weren't for this, even if the front lines were defeated, Jiang Chaoyu wouldn't have been able to so easily advance into Zhennan City. At least, Zhennan City would have been able to wait for Ma Qianli's troops to return as reinforcements.

Therefore, none of the local powerful figures in Yangdong who were later forced to temporarily submit to Jiang Chaoyu had any goodwill towards Yan Xing. To put it bluntly, it was all because she was implicated by her father-in-law.

In fact, Yan Xing never intended to betray them. By the time he realized what had happened, Han Sui had already sided with Jiang Qian.

That's why he took the initiative to contact Yue Fei outside, wanting to act as an inside agent to open the city gates.

It was precisely because of the Han army's guarantee that these families in the city believed in the other party and reluctantly agreed to cooperate with them.
