"Yanmen County has several cities, among which Yanmen County City and Liang City are closest to Azure Dawn Mountain. Fan Zeng's goal is nothing but the rich iron mines in Azure Dawn Mountain, so as long as we capture the two strongholds of County City and Liang City, we can ensure our safety. No matter how clever Fan Zeng's schemes are, he will not be able to do anything to us."
Wang Lie held the Battle Blade and rode a Vermilion Bird Beast, looking at Ye Yang as he continued, "I have heard about the commander of County City. After the famous general Li Mu of Zhao State, it is Li Yuan who is stationed there. After Li Mu's death, Zhao State fell. Li Yuan was still young and was adopted by a general of Qin State, remaining there until he eventually became the Governor of County City, guarding this area."
Ye Yang nodded and asked, "What are Li Yuan's hobbies?"
Wang Lie pondered for a moment and replied, "I have heard some rumors. Li Yuan's bravery is comparable to that of Li Mu; unfortunately, he has a natural flaw in his character—he is infatuated with beauty. It is said that he has gathered over a hundred beautiful women from around Yanmen County near Azure Dawn Mountain to create the Bright Moon Platform. This high platform is entirely made of Azure Obsidian, very sturdy, spanning between mountains. The Bright Moon Platform houses a hundred stunning beauties for Li Yuan's amusement. Hmph, this guy certainly enjoys endless pleasures while leading ten thousand elite soldiers stationed at Bright Moon Platform; it really is infuriating..."
Ye Yang couldn't help but smile. "So he's just a lecherous little man; that makes things easier. Hmph! We will camp ten miles outside County City tonight and rest for a night. At dawn, we will launch an attack to seize the city. Since Li Yuan is leading his elite soldiers at Bright Moon Platform, we will take advantage of his unpreparedness to capture County City, cutting off his supplies. Then those ten thousand elite soldiers will naturally surrender without a fight!"
Wang Lie nodded. "Your wisdom is unmatched!"
The Iron Cavalry galloped swiftly along the official road when suddenly Ye Yang's gaze swept over and noticed two beautiful young women riding Vermilion Bird Knights near the Central Army. They looked familiar; both were cloaked in dark robes that concealed their graceful figures but could not escape Ye Yang's keen eyes.
"Damn..."
Ye Yang silently cursed and said, "Wang Lie, what’s going on? Why are Yun Xiaoxi and Yan Yao also following us? Didn't I tell them to stay in Hengshan County and wait for my good news?"
Wang Lie showed a troubled expression. "Before we set off, Miss Yun Xiaoxi found me and said that if I didn't take her along, she would cut off my head with one sword strike. I felt she could do it..."
Ye Yang was speechless as he galloped toward the core of the Central Army and pointed at the two young women. "You two, stop pretending and take off your hoods..."
"Hehe..." Yun Xiaoxi's tinkling laughter rang out as she lowered her hood and smiled. "Oh, you still found me..."
Yan Yao also removed her hood, revealing a pretty face that appeared flushed under the bright sun.
Ye Yang frowned slightly. "Xiaoxi, why did you come too? Didn't I say that war and killing are men's affairs? It's better for you not to witness too much bloodshed."
Yun Xiaoxi raised her brows defiantly. "Why not? I've seen plenty of bloody scenes before; this time I'm just bringing Yan Yao to see the world. She has already reached Earth Level Eight in her cultivation but has never truly killed anyone. Do you think her training can really be used for self-defense? Hmph! Besides, when the Qin Army ravaged Yan State, they killed countless innocent civilians. Yan Yao's hatred for Qin Army is no less than yours; if you can kill Qin Soldiers, why can't Yan Yao?"
Yan Yao quickly nodded, her starry eyes blinking as she smiled. "Yes, brother! Yan Yao wants to help brother take revenge on those Qin Dogs for our fallen countrymen!"
As she spoke, Yan Yao raised her palm, revealing a brilliant Purple Ice Spike hovering above it—an embodiment of True Qi condensed into power that looked very familiar; it was indeed Yun Xiaoxi's unique skill: Ice Crystal Technique!
"This is... the Ice Crystal Technique?" Ye Yang exclaimed in surprise.
Yan Yao smiled and nodded, "Yes, Sister Yun started teaching me the Ice Crystal Determination Technique when she was in Yan Country. Although I've only learned a little, it's more than enough to deal with ordinary martial generals. Brother, do you still think I can't go with you to conquer Yanmen County and eliminate the Qin Dog?"
Ye Yang grinned, "That's fine, but our purpose this time isn't to kill the Qin Dog; it's to seize the abundant resources within Yanmen County."
Yun Xiaoxi glared at him, saying, "So you really are after the Bright Moon Platform? Hmph, I suppose you want to kill that Li Yuan and then claim all those beautiful women in the Bright Moon Platform for yourself?"
"I... I don't!" Ye Yang argued vehemently, his cheeks turning red as he protested, "I just want to take the Bright Moon Platform and then melt down that expensive building to forge new weapons using the Magma from Azure Obsidian. That's all! I've never thought about taking those women..."
Yun Xiaoxi pouted and pointed at Ye Yang's cheek, "You're blushing; it must mean I hit the nail on the head, and you're feeling guilty, aren't you?"
Ye Yang's face turned even redder, "I didn't!"
...
At that moment, seeing the capable Eastern General being cornered by a young girl like this, a group of Vermilion Bird Knights burst into laughter.
"Don't laugh... hurry up and move out!" Ye Yang commanded loudly. As a Starry Sky Tier Four Expert, he still needed to maintain some authority.
...
By evening, the vanguard of ten thousand Vermilion Bird Knights had arrived at the jungle ten miles outside Yanmen County. They set up camp in an open area, cooking and resting.
As night fell, the remaining seventy thousand troops from Hengshan County also arrived. Eighty thousand soldiers were lined up ten miles outside Yanmen County, with thousands of tents lit up and the sounds of neighing warhorses echoing through the night.
"My lord, since we've arrived, why not launch an immediate attack?" Wang Lie asked.
"No."
Ye Yang shook his head. "Scouts report that Fan Zeng and Ji Bu's five thousand Overlord Cavalry arrived here two hours before us. Additionally, reinforcements have been arriving one after another; it seems the Chu Army has already set their sights on this place. We'll observe Fan Zeng's movements first before making any plans."
"Understood!"
At the second watch of the night, a rider suddenly rushed in and shouted, "My Lord, it's bad!"
"What happened?"
Ye Yang sat up on the trunk of a large tree several dozen meters high, lazily looking down. He floated down and asked, "What happened? Don't panic!"
"Yes! Fan Zeng... Fan Zeng has ordered a hundred Overlord Cavalry to disguise themselves as a merchant convoy and enter Liang City. They tricked the city gate open, and five thousand Overlord Cavalry rushed in. The Governor of Liang City has already surrendered, and all fifteen thousand troops stationed in Liang City have followed Fan Zeng..."
"This..." Ye Yang was taken aback.
Wang Lie walked out from one of the tents holding a long knife and said, "That old thief Fan Zeng is indeed cunning. He tricked us into staying here while he made a feint and seized Liang City. He's simply too crafty!"
Ye Yang nodded in agreement and said solemnly, "Send orders to the Three Armies to prepare for immediate departure to Yanmen County City. Before dawn, we must take the County City!"
"Understood!"
