Chapter 1599: Chapter 502: 100 Xianyangs, Zhongyang Battle Report_2
Qin Feng thought for a moment and quickly understood why Cai Qiuhu was unwilling to go to Xia City to intimidate Great Xia, and his mood instantly became quite downcast.
Feeling downcast is one thing, but it’s absolutely crucial not to show it on his face.
The situation is stronger than people, no matter what, they currently have to rely solely on the aid of the two vassal towns to resist the Xia Army, so no matter what the other side says, they can only comply, where is there room to express opinions?
“Before I came, I went to Fushan to take a look. In terms of armor, cultivation, and even the level of military appearance and formations, your fifty thousand troops are no match for the Xia Army. While a direct attack has no chance of winning, resisting them with the advantage of city defenses is not difficult. Plus, with our assistance, if Great Xia recklessly attacks the city, they are bound to suffer greatly, so…”
Since the vassal towns don’t want to see the war end, it’s impossible for them to help initiate an attack. Understanding Cai Qiu’s schemes and hearing Cai Yunhe’s words, Qin Feng wasn’t surprised at all, only his initial excitement suddenly turned significantly bleak.
Of course, he wouldn’t show it on his face. After Cai Yunhe finished speaking, he still respectfully expressed gratitude: “Lord Cai’s words are reasonable, I have learned from them, but…”
He paused for a moment before hesitantly continuing: “Yangqu has already been besieged by Yuan Cheng’s army. Without aid, it will likely be breached. Dragon Valley has already changed hands. If Yangqu is breached, everything south of East Valley will become Great Xia’s territory. By then, the Xia Army will face no obstruction in advancing north, and we…”
“Don’t worry! The Xia Army won’t breach Yangqu. Little Landgrave brought 50 Xianyang Level from Jinshan Town. We 11 came to East Valley, and the remaining 39 are with Little Landgrave at Yangqu.”
Yangqu is saved!
With 39 Xianyang Level, plus Cai Qiuhu, a Tribulation Body Realm expert, given the fortress-like strength of Yangqu Town, the Xia Army is useless however fierce they might be.
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng instantly felt a sense of relief.
No matter what sinister intent Cai Qiu harbors, ultimately, he doesn’t wish to see Great Xia consolidate the Southern Slope. He is willing to send people to help Cao Qianyang guard Yangqu Town, which suffices.
Even if they don’t exert much effort, it’s fine. At worst, it becomes a strategic stalemate, just waiting for the Xia Army to presumptuously attack.
Previously, Qin Feng had been constantly worrying about the four thousand troops from Fushan Camp attacking East Valley Camp. Now, not only does he not worry, but he even hopes for the Xia Army to attack the city.
Only if the Xia Army attacks the city can Cai Yunhe and the 11 demonstrate their capabilities. If they can crush the four thousand troops from Fushan in one fell swoop, it can greatly dampen Great Xia’s morale.
“You’re probably worried we won’t exert much effort, right?”
Just as Qin Feng was deep in thought, Cai Yunhe seemed to see through his thoughts and sneeringly remarked. Seeing Qin Feng’s expression turn rigid and speechless, he displayed a hint of disdain and continued: “Since Little Landgrave has dispatched us here, defeating the Xia Army remains our primary goal, rest assured! Little Landgrave went to Yangqu not just to help defend the city, he is actively gathering intelligence on Great Xia’s Xianyang Level for future preparations.”
Gathering intelligence on Great Xia’s Xianyang Level?
Qin Feng was stunned upon hearing this, his face full of confusion.
Cai Yunhe shook his head, initially not wanting to explain, but as the sense of pride surged within, he still boastfully explained: “The fall of Dragon Valley Town basically means you are unclear about the movements of Great Xia’s Xianyang Level. Little Landgrave has a talented individual by his side who can gather all information on Great Xia’s Xianyang Level. Once the collection is complete, the movements of all Great Xia’s Xianyang Level will be under our control, so by then, are you still worried about lacking opportunities to launch an attack?”
Qin Feng’s demeanor quickly became invigorated, and he looked deeply excited.
Monitoring all movements of Xianyang Level, upon hearing this it’s clear it’s a deceit technique.
Having such talented individuals in Caiqiu Fan, he certainly doubts it not.
If truly achievable, the upcoming battle would considerably benefit the Northern Four Towns. It’s to be understood that all spies presently on the battlefield are Xianyang Level, if their movements can be precisely grasped, pinpoint annihilation and interception can be achieved. Moreover, their main attack direction can be foreseen by analyzing the movements of all Great Xia’s Xianyang Level.
“Not to be underestimated, these tactics can be employed by a Feudal Town; luckily this time the adversary is Great Xia…”
Excitement in Qin Feng’s heart soon transformed into dread and vigilance, his slightly clenched fist unwound along with it.

Moao Calendar Year 136, December 28, late night
Beishuo Town, west of Dongchuan, Central Yang Camp
Unlike East Valley and Aikou, Central Yang Camp does not hold such a high position within Beishuo Town, nor is its terrain considered perilous. Hence, no city was established, only a barracks specially designated for garrisoning troops.
“Get a move on! The Xia Army is about to attack. Dig the trench deeper, the barracks is only so big, it’s been almost two days and still hasn’t been completed, have you eaten or not?”
“Hurry, hurry, soldiers, get down there and dig!”
………
Over the eastern side of Central Yang Camp, Yang Qin, clad in white and holding a long spear, kept urging the soldiers below to speed up. His tone certainly stern, but as he looked down at the nearing completion trench below, the delight was visibly predominant in his pupils.
“Central Yang Camp’s terrain isn’t particularly perilous, but stands strategically elevated, surrounded by stone cliffs over ten meters high on three sides. Besides the gentler slope at the eastern main gate, the only mountain path to ascend is southwest. The main gate trench is now finished, although only ten meters wide, it’s enough to slow down Cold Resistance Level’s charges. Mu Longhe’s ten thousand Xia Army trying to rush from the front is now unlikely.”
