Chapter 315 The Imperial Guards Advance
The Qi Feng mentioned by Ye Yun is none other than Yan Qi Feng, a female general in the Night Fiend Army.
Although she was a woman, her bravery and wisdom on the battlefield were in no way inferior to those of men.
Yan Qifeng followed his father into battle from a young age, and through countless battles, he has become an outstanding commander.
He had won many battles against nomadic tribes in the northern frontier with fewer troops, demonstrating his brilliant military skills.
Although Yan Qifeng was slightly inferior to Zhao Fengyun in personal martial arts, her expertise in strategy and military affairs was on par with his.
They excel at strategic planning and decisive victories, often able to discern the enemy's situation at crucial moments and formulate strategies to defeat them.
Therefore, in the Night Fury army, she was not only a brave warrior, but also a commander who was highly respected by the soldiers.
Women are just as capable as men.
He was a general under the Night King, just like Zhao Fengyun.
Therefore, the commander Yan Qifeng was sent along with the war god Gongsun Yang.
This Night Fury detachment was not weak in terms of its composition.
Upon hearing Ye Yun's suggestion, a hint of appreciation flashed in the Night King's eyes.
"Very good. Send the order to have Yan Qifeng and Gongsun Yang jointly lead 50,000 elite troops to Hengzhou first thing tomorrow morning."
He knew that Yan Qifeng and Gongsun Yang were both rare military talents, and if the two could join forces, they would definitely be able to exert greater combat power.
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Yang was extremely excited.
He knew this was a rare opportunity, not only to avenge his previous defeat, but also to fight alongside a heroine like Yan Qifeng.
"This humble general will certainly not fail in his mission!"
Gongsun Yang's eyes lit up immediately, and he clasped his hands in greeting.
"Good! General Gongsun's courage is commendable. I will then grant both of you generals ten thousand iron cavalry to go to the area east of Qianzhou and Hengzhou, and act according to the circumstances."
"Remember, your mission is not only to resist the Qian army, but also to find opportunities to fight and create chances for the main force to win."
The Night King looked at Gongsun Yang, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
"This subordinate obeys!"
Gongsun Yang responded loudly, his eyes gleaming with determination.
As night deepened, Gongsun Yang stepped out of the central command tent and looked up at the starry night sky.
This mission was arduous, but he also knew it was a rare opportunity.
He took a deep breath, turned and walked towards his tent, preparing for the journey ahead.
Meanwhile, the Night King and Night Cloud continued their secret conversation in the tent.
"Ye Yun, what are your thoughts on this battle?"
The Night King asked in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, although General Gongsun was blocked at the front line this time, it did not have any impact on our army."
"However, this also serves as a wake-up call for us."
"The Qian army at Minglong Pass is not as vulnerable as we imagine; we must deal with them carefully."
Ye Yun thought for a moment and then analyzed.
"That's true. Although the Qian army won this time, they sent troops to set up numerous checkpoints in front of Minglong Pass."
"They must have paid a considerable price."
"We can use this opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to them."
The Night King rose and walked to the giant military map next to the main tent, nodding as he spoke.
"That's right. Moreover, we need to keep a close eye on what's happening in Hengzhou."
"That is the border between Qianzhou and Cangzhou and Yunzhou."
"It is also a vital grain supply base for the Great Qian Dynasty, although its status has diminished due to the recent changes in Cang and Yun prefectures."
"But if we have the opportunity to capture it, it will be of great benefit to our army."
Ye Yun looked at the location of Hengzhou on the military map and made a suggestion.
"Yes, that's what I mean too! Send the order down to our spies to closely monitor the situation in Hengzhou, and act immediately if an opportunity arises!"
A glint of light flashed in the Night King's eyes.
In the darkness, the two figures clashed in the brightly lit tent, like two sharp swords plotting their next attack.
Meanwhile, atop the distant Minglong Pass, the soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty remained on high alert.
It remains to be seen how fierce the Night Fiend Army's first attack on Minglong Pass will be.
At the same time, Gongsun Yang and Yan Qifeng had already led 60,000 elite troops away from the camp and embarked on their journey to Hengzhou.
The moonlight shone on their resolute faces, as if draping this valiant team in a layer of silver armor.
Ye Yun stood outside the tent, watching Gongsun Yang's troops disappear into the night.
The Night King stood beside Night Cloud, gazing at the dark horizon in the distance.
...
Meanwhile, Yan Qifeng and Gongsun Yang led 60,000 elite troops away from the camp and headed to Hengzhou in a grand procession.
Meanwhile, the Imperial Guards of the Cangzhou New Army, led by Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and Ran Min, also set foot in Hengzhou.
After Wei Qing's training and with the abundant resources provided by Cangzhou, the Imperial Guards could now be considered an elite force.
His white armor gleamed, and he was surrounded by a forest of swords and spears; every step he took was perfectly synchronized.
Under the sunlight, the armor gleamed with a cold light, like an invincible torrent of steel, slowly flowing towards Minglong Pass.
Wei Qing rode a black warhorse, his eyes sharp as he surveyed the advancing ranks.
Huo Qubing followed closely behind, young and full of vigor, with a stubbornness on his face that refused to admit defeat.
Huo Qubing followed closely behind, young and full of vigor, with a stubbornness on his face that refused to admit defeat.
Ran Min walked silently along the side of the group, his eyes deep and firm, as if no difficulties or challenges could shake his determination.
"On this journey, we represent the glory of the Cangzhou New Army."
Wei Qing's voice was deep and powerful, echoing through the ranks.
"Haha, Commander, rest assured, the Imperial Guards will not suffer any defeats. This time, we will surely uphold the might of the Cangzhou army!"
Huo Qubing said with great pride.
"This time, we will strike at Minglong Pass with overwhelming force and let those Night Fiends know our power."
"It is time for us to make our names known throughout the world!"
Ran Min nodded and added.
Wei Qing smiled slightly, feeling very gratified by the two men's lofty aspirations.
"On the battlefield, things can change in an instant. We must be careful and cautious and not underestimate our enemy."
But he was also well aware of the cruelty and uncertainty of war, and therefore offered this reminder.
The team maintained strict discipline and neat formation while marching.
The soldiers of the Imperial Guard were all elite warriors carefully selected from within Cangzhou, their eyes revealing determination and confidence.
The sounds of clashing armor and synchronized footsteps mingled together, creating a magnificent battle song.
As the team ventured deeper into Hengzhou, the terrain gradually changed.
It started as a flat road, but gradually turned into a rugged mountain road.
Regardless of the changing terrain, the Imperial Guards always maintained their orderly formation and high morale.
As night fell, the Imperial Guards set up camp in an open area.
The soldiers were busy setting up tents and starting fires to cook.
Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and Ran Min sat around the fire, discussing their next tactics.
"According to information from scouts and the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven), the Night Fiend Army has dispatched a detachment to Hengzhou."
Wei Qing added a piece of firewood to the fire and said to Huo Qubing and the other man.
Now, Luo Wang is Su Ye's exclusive assassin organization.
When there was fighting in Cangzhou, it had almost become the Cangzhou army's shared intelligence system.
