Volume 1: Arrival at Longevity Chapter 145: Troops Arrive at Blue Rain City

  One-on-one, the heavy cavalry is no match for the wolf riders, but if it's two against one, that's a different story. Now the wolf riders only have 50,000, while the heavy cavalry has 100,000. So in the melee, the wolf riders kept falling, and the wolf beasts let out mournful howls.

  An hour later, there were no living wolf cavalry on the battlefield, but the original 100,000 brave heavy cavalry had also been reduced to only 30,000 people, with a loss of more than 70,000. This made General Xiaoyong's heart bleed, and he also deeply dreaded the wolf cavalry.

  The Blue Rain Tribe only had 2 million heavy cavalry, while the Flame Wolf Tribe had 5 million wolf riders. Without mentioning anything else, just these wolf riders alone were enough to make the Blue Rain Tribe unable to resist.

  The brave general's heart was heavy, and now he could only hope to hold on to Blue Rain City. Blue Rain City was an ancient city that had existed for endless years, its walls and gates were extremely solid, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was believed that the Ha Chi tribe would not find it easy to break through Blue Rain City.

  The Xiong Yong heavy cavalry lost 70,000 men and the Wolf Rider Regiment lost 50,000 men. This news enraged Tan Mu, who had originally thought that the 50,000 wolf riders would be able to kill Hou and his men without any losses. But unexpectedly, a Xiong Yong general emerged, leading 100,000 heavy cavalrymen and annihilating all of Tan Mu's 50,000 wolf riders!

  "Despicable, truly despicable!" Tanmu's face turned iron-gray, and then his expression eased up again. "The Blue Rain Tribe's Brave Warrior Army has a total of 3.5 million people, with 2 million heavy cavalry, 500,000 light cavalry, and 1 million infantry. Although I lost 500,000 wolf riders today, the Brave Warrior Army's heavy cavalry has already been reduced by nearly half. When my army arrives at the city tomorrow, what will the Blue Rain Tribe use to confront me?"

  "Yes, the marshal is right. Without their heavy cavalry, those light horsemen and infantry will only need a few charges from our wolf riders to break through their army!" said a deputy general.

  "General Chi will lead the way, and our army will march forward. We'll set up camp a hundred miles outside Blue Rain City tonight. Tomorrow morning, we'll attack Blue Rain City!" Tan Mu said in a deep voice.

  "Obey orders!"

  Several deputy generals left Tanmu's temporary tent with orders and integrated the army to advance into Blue Rain City.

  In the back mountain of Blue Rain City, Ye Chen and Hou Yu were still unaware of the news that Tian Guan had fallen. Ye Chen was urging the people from the Engineering Camp to manufacture explosives, after more than a dozen days of hard work, they now had nearly ten tons of gunpowder, with over a hundred storage bags filled.

  That afternoon, Ye Chen and Hou Yu had just returned to Tingyu Xuan when Xiao Qi rushed over to tell them about the loss of Tian Guan, as well as the battle between the heavy cavalry and wolf riders on the plains outside Lan Yu Castle three hundred miles away.

  "Unexpectedly, the Wolf Rider Battalion is so ferocious, even the elite heavy cavalry with twice the force almost suffered a complete defeat." Hou Yu said in a low voice, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, filled with worry.

  "After the rain." Ye Chen looked at her and said, "You don't have to worry, with me in Blue Rain City, nothing will happen."

  In fact, for Ye Chen, the reason why he wanted to establish the Divine Machine Camp was to teach the soldiers how to use the crossbow, teach them how to make composite bows, repeating crossbows, and explosives. All of this was Ye Chen's way of repaying Hou Yu, otherwise, just to save the Blue Rain Tribe, Ye Chen wouldn't have spent so much thought on it. Directly killing the commander-in-chief of the Ha Chi Tribe would be more straightforward, and in doing so, the Ha Chi Tribe would at least retreat for a short period of time.

  "Xiao Qi, how's my big brother?" Hou Yu asked.

  "Princess, His Highness is fine, don't worry." Little Qi said softly.

  "It's all right." Yu finally let out a sigh of relief.

  On the second day, in the early morning, Blue Rain City was filled with a tense atmosphere. Outside Blue Rain City, there were continuous rumbling sounds, and dense rows of troops appeared before Blue Rain City, numbering at least 200,000 or more.

  Ye Chen also rushed to the top of the city wall, looking out into the distance, ten miles outside the city was a vast expanse of black armor and shields, scarlet wolves, it was indeed the Ha Chi tribe's wolf cavalry.

  "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  The wolf cavalry slowly pressed in and finally stopped three thousand meters away from Blue Rain City.

  A lone wolf rider in front wore a crimson armor, sitting on the back of a tall wolf beast, his eyes gazing towards the gate of Blue Rain City.

  "General Xiaoyong, it's been many years since we last met. Why not open the city gates and welcome me, Ha Che's great army? At that time, I will spare your life. What do you think, General Xiaoyong?" Tan Mu said loudly.

  "Hmph, Tan Mu old thief, if you have the ability, come and attack me. I'd like to see if your wolf cavalry is really invincible." General Xiao Yu said with a cold smile.

  "Hmph!" Tan Mu coldly snorted, "Wolf cavalry in formation, light infantry assault the city, kill!"

  "Kill!!"

  Suddenly the whole sky was reverberating, tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, and the momentum was shocking.

  "Brave heavy cavalry, form up and await my order to go out of the city and engage the enemy!" The brave general let out a mighty roar, and in an instant he leapt down from the city wall. Below him, hundreds of thousands of heavy cavalrymen were already standing by, waiting solemnly.

  "General, no!"

  Ye Chen saw General Xiong Yu wanting to lead tens of thousands of heavy cavalry out of the city to battle, and immediately spoke up to stop him.

  "Who are you?" The brave general's eyes widened, looking at Ye Chen with an unyielding gaze, but of course this bit of aura was nothing in Ye Chen's eyes.

  "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that if the general opens the city gate to welcome the enemy, Blue Rain City's greatest reliance will be destroyed - these tens of thousands of heavy cavalrymen will all perish!"

  "Hmph, General, I don't need you to teach me how to command the army!" The brave general shouted angrily. Although he also knew that defending was the best way, under Tanmu's provocation, his anger was hard to calm down, and he ordered the heavy cavalry: "Go out of the city to meet the enemy!"

  "Kill!"

  "Kill!"

  Rumble!

  The city gate opened, and tens of thousands of heavy cavalrymen led by the brave general charged directly at the 50,000 wolf riders. The battlefield was extremely brutal, with countless soldiers lying dead on the ground, and blood splashing everywhere.

  The valiant heavy cavalry was brave, but it was no match for the wolf cavalry. The two sides clashed for only a moment, and the valiant heavy cavalry suffered more than half casualties, while the wolf cavalry lost less than 300,000 men. However, Tan Mu beckoned with his hand, and several tens of thousands of wolf cavalry charged again.

  "Fall back into the city, quickly!" The valiant general speared one of the wolf cavalrymen with a single thrust and shouted loudly to his own army.

  The remaining tens of thousands of heavy cavalry quickly retreated into the city gate, while the wolf cavalry in the rear followed closely, seemingly also wanting to follow the heavy cavalry into the city.

  "Hum, you all go back!"

  The brave general let out a loud roar, stretched out his arms, and a huge spiritual force wall suddenly appeared. He alone pushed the spiritual force wall to forcibly push back all the wolf cavalry that were chasing him, making them retreat continuously.

  When all the heavy cavalry returned to the city, General Xiaoyong suddenly withdrew and returned to Blue Rain City in the slowly closing city gate.

  "Pffft!"

  The brave General Zhang spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and hastily sat down cross-legged, taking shallow breaths.

  Ye Chen looked at this brave general, who was actually a reckless and impulsive guy. Otherwise, why would he have let so many heavy cavalrymen go to their deaths for nothing? In the end, he had to resort to using his life force to reverse the flow of blood, which left him severely injured.

  Ye Chen shook his head and sighed, walking to his back, placing his hand on his shoulder, and suddenly a surge of vigorous blood and spiritual energy was transmitted, the brave general was shocked, looking at Ye Chen with a face full of shock.

  "How did you have such a strong vitality!"

  Ye Chen smiled slightly and didn't respond. Instead, he looked at General Xiong and said: "Under the current situation, Blue Rain City can only be defended, not counterattacked. If you were to launch a counterattack or engage in battle, it would only result in massive casualties among the Blue Rain tribe's warriors. Once the losses become too great, even defending the city will become impossible."

  As time went by day after day, General Xiu did not come out of the city to meet the enemy as he had on the first day. During this period, he closed the city gate and refused to fight.

  Khan Tumu, the commander of the Harchi tribe, was unwilling to continue like this. Every morning, he would launch a siege attack, but none of them were effective. The Blue Rain City had more than 300,000 defenders, with all kinds of defensive equipment and an indestructible city gate. The city wall was tens of meters high, and it was not easy to break through.

  In the military camp of the Harchi tribe Tammu.

  "The brave general shuts his doors and refuses to fight, we attack the city every day but see no effect, instead many people are killed or injured, this can't go on like this." a deputy general said.

  "In that case, we can only let the elder of the clan take action. I believe that with the elder's strength, it will be easy to blast open the gates of Blue Rain City. At that time, I will lead my army in and completely annihilate the Blue Rain Clan!" Tan Mu's eyes flashed with cold light.

  "But, General, since ancient times, the elders of our two tribes have never participated in battles. This was agreed upon long ago. If we want the elders to come and assist, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Another deputy general spoke up.

  "What's wrong with that? In the past, we made this agreement because the Blue Rain Tribe and my Haicheng Tribe were evenly matched in strength. Now that my Haicheng Tribe is far superior to the Blue Rain Tribe, this agreement has no binding power anymore. I will immediately send a message to my king about my thoughts, and wait for his decision." Tanmu said, ordering someone to bring him pen and ink, wrote it down, and then tied it to the leg of a carrier pigeon. The pigeon spread its wings and flew away without a trace.

  Three days later, in the Listening Rain Pavilion, Ye Chen looked at the thousand soldiers of the Divine Machine Battalion with satisfaction. The bowstring shooting method was already sufficiently proficient, and the crossbowmen were also trained to be extremely agile, with no arrows wasted.

  On this night, Ye Chen led the soldiers of two engineering battalions out of Blue Rain City and buried explosives at a position three kilometers in front of Blue Rain City. Nearly twenty tons of explosives were buried all over an area of several miles. All the explosives were connected together and then covered with mud, leaving only one long fuse that extended into Blue Rain City. After doing all this, it was already deep night.

  Ye Chen returned to Ting Yu Xuan, Hou Yu had not yet slept. Seeing Ye Chen return, she turned around and walked back to her own boudoir. A moment later, she carried a set of silver armor into Ye Chen's room.

  "Hou Yu, what's this..." Ye Chen looked at Hou Yu's hand holding the armor and was slightly stunned.

  "This is a custom-made armor for you, and now that you're the princess's officially appointed brave general, it wouldn't do to not have a suit of magnificent armor." Hou Yu said with a smile.

  "Thank you, I will definitely put it on tomorrow." Ye Chen took over the armor, the metallic touch was cold, but his heart was warm.

  On the second day morning, Ye Chen put on his armor and looked like a silver war god, appearing majestic and extraordinary. Hou Yu looked at him, seemingly thinking of something, her face slightly flushed.
