Chapter 172: The Battle of Xuanling Pass (Part One)
---
Skillfully maneuvering among a hundred Type 99 main battle tanks, under the guidance of Ye Huan piloting an Apache Attack Helicopter, the members of the Three Hundred Dragon Hall surged out of Tianyue City, heading straight for Xuanling Pass. The thunderous roar, combined with the silhouette of the Apache in the sky, captured the attention of the entire populace of Tianyue City. Even Zuo Yi and others in the military camp couldn't help but feel that Ye Huan had made quite a commotion.
Ye Huan felt helpless about this situation. Sitting in the cockpit of the Apache Attack Helicopter, he wished to catch the enemy off guard. Unfortunately, according to orders from the capital, it was clear that they were specifically targeting the three hundred members of Dragon Hall. This forced Ye Huan to prioritize the safety of his comrades.
As for making a grand display, there seemed to be no harm in that; putting on such a show could boost their morale and serve as a preemptive strike.
Kicking up clouds of dust, under the lead of the Apache Attack Helicopter, the members of Three Hundred Dragon Hall quickly appeared about a kilometer away from Xuanling Pass, precisely at the location where sentinels were stationed for observation.
At this moment, as Ye Huan and his team arrived, many sentinels at Xuanling Pass immediately noticed this terrifying tide of steel. Although they had no idea what these machines were, it was obvious from their direction that they were headed for Xuanling Pass. One sentinel, after merely glancing at them, rushed to signal an alert to Xuanling Pass. Just then, they were horrified to see that massive object in the sky suddenly emit a dazzling burst of fire!
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat…
The rate of fire was many times faster than that of machine guns. From his cockpit in the Apache Attack Helicopter, Ye Huan had already used his summoned Infrared Sensor to gain a clear understanding of the situation below. Though he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, determining that there were numerous sentinels down below based on temperature readings from the Infrared Sensor was easy. He pressed the attack button for the M230 chain gun, tearing apart everything on the ground and clearing a smooth path for the following hundred Type 99 main battle tanks as they rapidly approached Xuanling Pass.
With less than five hundred meters remaining to Xuanling Pass, the defending Dongying Fusang Soldiers atop the pass had already spotted Ye Huan and his team. They began to murmur among themselves, speculating about what these machines could be and why one was flying in the air. Even their leader looked puzzled, frowning as he gazed toward Xuanling Pass's exterior.
"Is it him?"
Through the Military Telescope, Ye Huan observed Xuanling Pass. Upon locating the position of the opposing leader among the crowd, he was taken aback to discover that the leader of Xuanling Pass was none other than Yamamoto Ichiki, the self-proclaimed master blacksmith who had once tricked Ye Huan. Even though Yamamoto wore a hood that obscured his face, his cunning eyes immediately revealed his identity to Ye Huan, leaving him puzzled as to why Yamamoto was present there.
However, this situation was all thanks to Ye Huan himself.
Xuanling Pass was the last piece of territory occupied by Eastern Japan Fusang in Huaxia Nation. Due to time constraints, they were unable to produce a 'Human Bomb.' As the primary person responsible for Xuanling Pass, Yamamoto Ichiki turned his attention to Willow Village, hoping to borrow Ye Luo for use at a critical moment. The reason Ye Huan saw Ye Luo being carried out on a stretcher before entering Willow Village was that Yamamoto Ichiki had just arrived at Willow Village and was preparing to 'inspect the goods.' Unexpectedly, he encountered Ye Huan along the way, resulting in Yamamoto not only breaking two Shadow Blades he had forged himself but also losing Ye Luo, who ended up being a significant gift for Ye Huan.
In a fit of anger, Yamamoto Ichiki decided not to linger in Willow Village any longer and returned to Xuanling Pass with his subordinates. After all, Willow Village was a town so small it could hardly be considered one, and leaving a ninja leader equivalent to a Seventh Level Warrior in Huaxia there seemed impractical given Eastern Japan Fusang's already limited manpower.
Unaware of these developments, upon seeing Yamamoto Ichiki, Ye Huan issued a command through his Bluetooth headset to all Dragon Hall members: "Halt advancement and prepare for attack!"
At that moment, an Apache Attack Helicopter and over a hundred Type 99 main battle tanks were positioned precisely five hundred meters from Xuanling Pass.
Five hundred meters was a distance where a Seventh Level mage could easily eliminate Dragon Hall members with a single spell. However, Eastern Japan Fusang consisted almost entirely of martial artists—ninja—without any mages among them. As for the siege weapons with maximum ranges of only three hundred meters, they posed no threat whatsoever to Ye Huan and his team at five hundred meters away.
Thus, with the Type 99's 125mm main gun boasting an effective range exceeding one thousand meters, it felt as if adults were fighting infants; the length of their arms alone guaranteed absolute superiority. This was precisely why Ye Huan ordered Dragon Hall members to utilize the Type 99 main battle tanks.
Following Ye Huan's instructions, at the same time, over a hundred Type 99 main battle tank barrels elevated slightly, aiming at the top of Xuanling Pass's walls. Hundreds of gun barrels pointed ominously; with just one command from Ye Huan, Xuanling Pass would face devastating firepower!
Yamamoto Ichiki observed everything happening five hundred meters away and sensed something was amiss. He contemplated whether to have his soldiers prepare for defense. But at that moment, Ye Huan issued an attack order while simultaneously pressing the button to launch missiles from the Apache Attack Helicopter.
In an instant, aside from the roar of over a hundred Type 99 main battle tanks, nearly everyone on the walls of Xuanling Pass witnessed what appeared to be an octopus soaring through the sky—the Apache Attack Helicopter. With four rocket launchers and sixteen Hellfire anti-tank missiles deployed in mere moments, it left behind sixteen brilliant trails of white smoke against the blue sky…
Boom!!
A loud explosion echoed as Xuanling Pass suffered a dual assault from hundreds of Type 99 main battle tanks and sixteen Hellfire Missiles. Many positions were nearly stripped of an entire layer, resulting in countless casualties. Even the sturdy city walls almost collapsed from the blasts, shaking violently for a while before finally stabilizing, sending up a massive cloud of dust and debris.
