Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1597: Chapter 501: Awakened to the Truth, Choices and Aid Finally Arrive (Part 3)

What is the greatest advantage of the defending side?

It is the ability to wait at ease, to counter the enemy’s advances by remaining still, to respond to numerous changes with unchanging resolve. As long as there are solid city defenses and various fortifications, the enemy’s blade, even if superior by several to a dozen times, can still be contested.

But once it turns into an offensive position, the situation completely changes.

The strength of Great Xia stands above the Five Towns. It’s no joke to say that even if the Five Towns were to merge into a single entity now, it would still be the case. Not to mention, Dragon Valley has already changed hands; they only have four towns left.

In a situation weaker than the opposing side, taking the initiative to attack is seeking death!

“How did Li Yangtian deceive that fifteen-thousand-strong army then, wasn’t it by luring Long Mingyuan to head north to aid us? We absolutely should not take the initiative to attack. Right now, it’s Great Xia that is eager to unify the Southern Slope, not us…”

Qin Feng’s tone was firm, clearly determining to resolutely defend East Valley.

Yet, even so, his expression wasn’t much improved.

Defending to the death is no problem, but what about Yangqu Town?

Yangqu borders Chui Mountain; Great Xia can continuously send troops over. Even if Yuan Cheng doesn’t deploy too many Xianyang Level, if there is never outside support, it would likely just be a matter of time before it is breached.

Dragon Valley has already changed hands; if Yangqu is breached next, only their Northern Three Towns would remain. Critically, if Yangqu falls, Yuan Cheng could immediately lead troops northward to join forces with Luo Yuan’s Central Army, at which point Dragon Valley and Yangqu would all become territories of Great Xia. Could he still hold out?

Therefore, Yangqu absolutely cannot be breached.

“Notify Yang Zhun to transfer Xianyang Level from the Three Towns to assist Cao Qianyang in defending the city. As long as the three northern routes of the Xia Army don’t move, we won’t move. Conversely, if Great Xia suffers setbacks at Yangqu or invests too much strength, then we will have an opportunity to take the initiative!”

Upon hearing Qin Feng’s words, Ye Tianhao’s brows slightly relaxed but quickly realized something, shaking his head and saying solemnly: “Great Xia’s Xianyang Level, at least 30 in number, and when considering those Beast King Level puppets, it’s even more terrifying. How can we still…”

“Those Beast King Level puppets have usage constraints. The night before last, Yang Jian already tested it outside Xia City; after he and Chu Xuan Kong fled five kilometers outside Xia City, those Beast King Level puppets couldn’t chase them anymore!”

Hearing Qin Feng’s words, Ye Tianhao was taken aback, then furrowed his brow: “Not usable beyond five kilometers from Xia City, is that right? During the Battle of Hongmen four years ago, those Beast King Level puppets appeared there and even cut off Mu Longhe’s arms.”

Qin Feng also showed a trace of confusion on his face, then shook his head: “I’ve asked, but last night Yang Jian sounded confident; he must have figured something out. Besides, if Great Xia could really use those Beast King Level puppets recklessly, then what are we still resisting for?”

Recalling seeing twelve Beast King Level puppets at Hongmen with his own eyes, Ye Tianhao’s face slightly changed, and he hurriedly nodded.

Indeed, if Great Xia could really pull those Beast King Level puppets around randomly, their resistance now wouldn’t mean much.

“Not necessarily, right? Maybe Great Xia isn’t using the puppets to ensure the safety of Xia City, given they also know about the two vassal towns…”

“They’re here!”

Before Ye Tianhao could finish his words, he was interrupted by Cai Yuntong beside him.

Cai Yuntong obviously had detected something, and his expression was unusually excited. After speaking, he rushed out of the hall.

Qin Feng and Ye Tianhao exchanged a look, a trace of excitement appearing on their faces, quickly following behind him.

“What’s here?”

“What else could it be; the reinforcements from the feudal towns have arrived.”

“Yeah! It’s been so long; let’s go take a look.”

………

The reinforcements from the two vassal towns have finally arrived!

Everyone in the hall suddenly realized and quickly followed behind Qin Feng and Ye Tianhao, heading out to greet them.
