Destiny is ashes

Chapter 463 Dad, you are still alive! (23)

There was no time to think about it. In order to get a deeper understanding of what this mission was all about, An Qianshan finally chose to participate in this mission and learn more about the inside story.

Perhaps because of the bribe, An Qianshan and others were assigned to logistical work rather than auxiliary troops to cooperate with the cavalry in the camp's operations.

The latter are simply cannon fodder, coolies used to test traps and build pre-war fortifications.

While following the army, An Qianshan was always looking for opportunities to collect intelligence related to the Iron Cavalry, hoping to find some of the enemy's weaknesses and peculiarities.

After careful observation, An Qianshan actually found a lot of key information.

When Kan Hao led the cavalry to quickly attack the cities, An Qianshan keenly noticed that some of the military armor and equipment used by Kan Hao and his party were obviously not produced by Chen Li themselves, but came from the Tianyi Demon Cult.

If you ask why, I can only say that the emblems on this batch of weapons are exactly the same as the emblems on the farm tools he bought.

Those magical weapons and flags used to vibrate the earth's veins, as well as armor and magical weapons comparable to those of the Dachen Army, mostly came from the Tianyi Demon Sect. Every once in a while, the demon sect's shuttles would come to transport relevant supplies to the army.

If this batch of supplies could be blocked, the cavalry's marching and fighting would not be so radical and would become conservative.

In addition, Chen Li seems to have mastered some earth vein technology.

After breaking into the city, the cavalry actually stayed for a while to repair the earth veins, and then reactivated the earth vein formation to extract some of its power.

They also seem to have something similar to a magic weapon to coordinate the center of the earth veins. This primitive technology of controlling the earth veins seems to have been called "earth spirit" in the past, and this technology has also been optimized.

So at this point, in the northern border land, it is this group of Chenli people who can attack or defend.

As for the military formation, after the Iron Cavalry lost the vanguard battalion, they marched very slowly and their formation was quite loose. In some key areas, they had to have the auxiliary troops explore first before they dared to approach.

If Dachen had a quick reaction force to attack them at this time, the Iron Cavalry would lose the initiative and suffer heavy losses.

However, in recent times, the cavalry's marching has become faster again, and it seems that they have received intelligence support from other aspects.

But precisely because of this, and because of the intelligence support, the Iron Cavalry's supply lines were opened up very openly and were not as cautious as before.

"The Heaven's Will Demon Cult, with mysterious support, plus the Five Dust-Rebel Sects behind them... all parties are taking advantage of the war between the Iron-Rebel Tribe and Northern Frontier to bleed Dachen."

After all, An Qianshan was an educated man who was able to pass the imperial examination. He saw at a glance the real reason why the combat effectiveness of the Tieli tribes was rapidly improving: they could pick up a bunch of high-quality weapons and equipment, and receive tactical guidance from instructors from several parties. How could their combat effectiveness not be strong?
If the target of this military force was not his son, An Qianshan would be so happy. He could just lie down and get credit in the logistics department. This feeling is really great!

You know, considering the merits of conquering several cities before, the rewards received by their small team are already more than what the An family has earned in the past few years!

"We have to find a way to get this information to my son."

Thinking of this, An Qianshan was worrying about how he should find a channel to communicate with An Jing, when four scouts who were obviously from the Dachen Wu Army suddenly popped up in front of him.

"Are you Brother An's father?"

On the other hand, although they essentially fled to the rear in a panic, they controlled their temperament very well and did not look like those who were forced to flee at all.

He led everyone to stand up and walk around, and found that this was a material relay point located in an abandoned town in the northern border of Dachen. Obviously, this was an extremely critical link in the target they originally planned to investigate, the "Iron Cavalry's supply line."

On the other side, Qin Yunye and the other two scouts also secretly prepared their weapons, ready to hold this "Dust Man" of unknown origin hostage at any time.

"This is not the place to talk."

An Qianshan also noticed the alertness of these people, so he shook his head and motioned the four people to follow him into his tent: "I didn't call anyone, it just shows my sincerity. Don't worry, I am the commander here, no one else will come here without my order."

Qin Yunye and others looked at Canglinzu, and the young man did not hesitate and led a group of people to follow An Qianshan into the tent.

In fact, there is no need to prove anything, because An Jing is younger and more handsome, and he is an optimized version of An Qianshan. It is easy to tell at a glance whether the two are related by blood.

On the other hand, Cang Linzu and Qin Yunye’s admiration for An Jing was genuine. An Qianshan knew at a glance that both of them had found the right person.

After learning that Cang Linzu and his group were the scouts of Linjiang City, An Qianshan, in addition to feeling "blessed by God", immediately realized that the embarrassed appearance of this group of people when they first appeared must have been the result of some accident.

The two sides communicated in detail and quickly understood each other's situation.

"I do have a water mirror that can be used to contact Brother An, but the distance is too far and the signal is not good."

Cang Linzu took out the water mirror. He was just trying to break through when he was using his fate to contact An Jing. He didn't have enough time and didn't have the time to use the water mirror.

At this moment, he tried to communicate with the other side, but failed repeatedly. He couldn't help but feel anxious: "Uncle, the information you collected here is really useful. Moreover, the Chenli people can actually reuse the earth vein formation? Did the Five Sects make another breakthrough in technology, or did they get the earth vein technology library of the northern border..."

He was a little anxious. The Heaven's Will Demon Cult, unknown forces, earth vein technology... the Chenli people were obviously not fighting on one side.

And if it is related to the Demon Cult, then the situation of this battle may be more dangerous than imagined. Perhaps the Tianyi Demon Cult will also get involved and try to bring back An Jing, the "divine general", when defeating Linjiang City.

Fortunately, the dramatic situation of being unable to connect did not occur. As Linjiang City took the initiative to use the power of the earth veins to promote communication, the well-stocked Shuijing received a strong enough signal.

Communications are on.

[Xiao Cang, are you okay? ]

On the other side of the water mirror, the sky was filled with snow. On the top of the city wall, An Jing looked solemn, but soon, his expression turned into astonishment, because he saw a familiar face on the other side of the water mirror: [Oh my God, Dad? ]

[You are still alive?! ]

"My son!" An Qianshan's eyes were filled with tears: "Your father is not dead!"

To be honest, whether it was Cang Linzu, Qin Yunye, or An Jing and An Qianshan, they all felt that this conversation was a bit too abstract, like a loving father and a filial son, but this was the way the world was and no one could deny it.

An Jing and An Qianshan both wanted to reminisce about the past, or ask Shen Mubai to come over and see her husband still alive, but now was not the time to discuss family matters.

After learning about the situation of Cang Linzu and others and An Qianshan's whereabouts in the past few years, An Jing suddenly realized and couldn't help but sigh that some of the things in his memories of his previous life were not false.

——If the literati of Dachen cannot defeat the people of their hometown, they will really run to the wild land to serve as military advisors, improve the strength of the border areas and then fight back!
