History's Strongest Son-In-Law Living With The In-Laws-Chapter 624
624 Great gan’s victory! Great Yan’s defeat!
Whether the war would happen or not, to a large extent, was full of inevitability. However, the timing of the war was full of coincidences. For example, the fuse of World War I was the assassination of the Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
And the fuse to the war in this world was the failure of the first battle of the two dragons. Countless citizens of Qian capital and great Qian Empire charged towards the great Yan Empire to fight.
Their first target was the refugee camps along the border of the great Yan Empire, which were the defectors in Qian capital.
After the battle of the two dragons, the great Flame Dragon returned. However, Shen lang and the Dragon never returned. Almost everyone thought that they were dead.
Over a million defectors of great Qian Empire, the richest of them, celebrated and held a banquet in their mansions, trying to curry favor with the officials of Great Yan Empire.
At this moment, their thoughts had already changed. They began to ask around. Shen lang was finally dead, and the great Qian Empire was going to be finished. When would the Army of the great Yan Empire attack the Qian Empire?
We escaped from Qian capital, so we can be the guides for the Empire of Great Yan. We can rule Qian capital together.
The top escapees were all from the wealthy families during Ying Guang’s era. However, Shen lang did not start a massacre after he entered Qian Jing. Although they were removed from their positions and their related people were imprisoned, most of them managed to keep their lives and even their family assets.
Now that Shen lang is done for, when the Empire of Great Yan rules the Qian country in the future, can we rise again?
As for the refugees at the bottom of the hierarchy, they had complicated feelings. This was because they were truly shocked. Shen lang, the monarch of great Qian, had sacrificed himself to protect Qian Jing and the people of Qian Jing who had betrayed the Jiang clan.
As a result, 200000 to 300000 people chose to leave and return to the territory of the great Qian Empire, even though they knew that the great Yan Empire was likely to attack the Qian Empire and the war would come again.
Moreover, after the battle of the two dragons, the attitude of the officials in the Empire of Great Yan had obviously changed. Previously, they were still rather friendly to the refugees of great Qian. However, after seeing that Shen lang and the Jiang clan’s giant dragon were done for, their attitude instantly turned cold.
And just as this group of escapees from the wealthy families were colluding with the officials of the Empire of Great Yan, thinking about how to celebrate the fall of Chen Lang and how to occupy and rule over the country, countless citizens of the Empire of Great Yan swarmed over like a tide. They were mighty and uncountable. The 20000 soldiers of Yannan County were simply unable to hold them back.
After that, the massacre of the Yannan camp happened.
Almost all the rich and powerful escapees who lived in the big camp’s mansions had been killed.
When the great Flame Dragon returned, this group of people was extremely happy. Just because of the four words ‘Shen lang is dead’, everyone drank a few catties of wine to celebrate.
In the end, they were torn to pieces by the people of the Qian country and were chopped into meat paste with hoes and machetes.
When Shen lang took over Qian Jing, he did not purge them. However, bi an was completely wiped out this time. ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦
Tens of thousands of people were almost wiped out.
Along with the officials of the Empire of Great Yan who were in charge of the refugee camp, as well as a few thousand soldiers, they were all killed.
Immediately after, Yannan County was broken through, and there were countless casualties.
A few provinces in the southwest of the Empire of Great Yan quickly gathered their armies to quell the chaos.
As soon as the Army of the great Yan Empire moved, the Army of the great Qian Empire also moved. Especially the Army of great Qian Empire, whose hearts were filled with hatred and flames of anger. The flames of war had erupted just like that.
In the beginning, the Army of the great Qian Empire was unstoppable, especially the Army of more than 100000 soldiers stationed in Qianjing city. They were either new troops of the raging tide or those who had just surrendered from stupa mountain.
In less than a month’s time, they had completely destroyed the country of Liang and the country of Wei.
The Furious Army of da Qian Empire burned down the Imperial Palace of the country of Liang and blasted the tombs of the royal family of the country of Liang into ruins.
Prince Liang and Duke Wei had escaped.
This Army of Qian capital swept through the land. After destroying the country of Liang and the country of Wei, they flattened two provinces of the Empire of Great Yan.
At that time, suo Xuan, Jin Zhuo, Zhang Ji, and the others who had stayed behind to guard the raging tide city were almost scared out of their wits.
A great battle suddenly broke out.
As a last resort, raging tide city did its best to transport an astronomical amount of resources to Qianjing.
Countless nightmare stone rifles, machine guns, supersonic flying beasts, and dozens of Super Air fortresses.
Grand scholar Twain originally wanted to make the interception device more perfect. After all, it was too large. However, he didn’t have time to waste. He was busy making interceptors for Dragon’s regret.
He even modified the sky Fortress to become an interception device for Dragon’s regret.
Since they had started fighting, then they would fight hard.
The King of Chu had just received 150000 new troops trained in raging tide city. He immediately led 100000 troops South and destroyed the fake Qiang Kingdom.
The Qiang Kingdom was arunana’s. However, after arunana left, someone usurped the throne and pledged loyalty to Ying Guang. After Ying Guang was destroyed, they started to pledge their loyalty to the great Yan Empire again. However, Shen Lang’s great Qian Empire didn’t have the time to deal with this clown.
In the end, when the battle began, King Chu led his Army to annihilate them.
After destroying the Qiang Kingdom and obtaining a large number of horses, cattle, and sheep, the King of Chu led hundreds of thousands of troops North and attacked Jin.
At that time, Yue country and Wu country had already taken in over 200 thousand new troops. This batch of new military uniforms was equipped with brand new howitzer, small Dragon’s power, nightmare stone rifles, and so on. Although there were not many of them, most of the troops might still need to use more ordinary rifles.
After the battle started, King Wu and King Yue led hundreds of thousands of troops and charged into the great Yan Empire from the south and east.
In an instant, the entire great Qian Empire had mobilized more than one million troops from the West to the East and from the South to the North.
The great Yan Empire was slightly better off, but its vassal states were caught off guard and forced to retreat.
Even the great Jin Kingdom had been killed by the armies of the Chu Kingdom and the great Qian Empire. In just over a month, two provinces had fallen.
It could be said that in the first two months, the great Qian Empire had the absolute upper hand.
One was that the wailing soldiers would win, and the second was because of the explosion of new weapons in raging tide city.
This was especially so for the 300000 new soldiers that had been trained. Their combat strength was astonishing.
Within three months, the Army of the great Qian Empire had broken through all the defense lines. The Great Yan Dynasty had lost 1.5 million square kilometers of land and six vassal states.
The Emperor of Great Yan was still healing the giant dragon in the taboo tower and could not be disturbed. Therefore, the battle was completely in the hands of Great Yan’s Crown Prince and Princess Ji Xuan.
In the shortest time possible, the Empire of Great Yan had gathered an astronomical number of troops and deployed them to various battlefields.
The Empire of Great Yan had nearly three thousand supersonic flying beasts, thirty thousand snow Eagle troops, and nearly four hundred thousand secret troops.
On the other hand, the heaven-killing Pavilion also had five thousand snow Eagle troops and a secret army of one hundred and thirty thousand.
There were also countless ancient war crossbows, ancient giant crossbows, and dragon power firing devices.
In this world War, the Empire of Great Yan finally did not hide anymore, and an astronomical number of ancient equipment was dropped.
There were many ancient weapons here that were not excavated, but created.
As the Emperor had completed the intermediate level of Dragon’s enlightenment a long time ago, the great Yan Empire was already able to produce a considerable amount of ancient equipment and armor.
60,000 Special Forces Warriors wearing ancient armor and 500000 secret troops.
It was more than twice as many as stupa mountain, Ying Guang, heavenly path temple, Shen lang, sky-Sea Pavilion, and all the other forces combined.
The Empire of Great Yan was frighteningly rich.
Other people had to explore ancient ruins to obtain ancient equipment, but the Emperor could make them himself.
As for bloodline mutation and bloodline modification, they were all left over by the Emperor because they were all included in the intermediate Dragon’s enlightenment.
After two or three months of war, four battlefields had appeared in the eastern world.
King Wu led the eastern battlefield, King Yue led the southern battlefield, Jin Jun, Chou Yao ‘er and su Nan led the main battlefield, while King Chu led the Western battlefield.
After the Empire of Great Yan’s Secret army of more than 500000 soldiers entered the battlefield, the tide of the battle changed.
More than one million soldiers of the great Qian Empire were pushed back.
In two months, the Empire of Great Yan had recovered one million square kilometers of lost land.
However, the battle between the two sides was in a state of anxiety.
Of course, the great Qian Empire was also shocked by this great battle. It was because they had never thought that the great Yan Empire would be so wealthy to have such an astronomical number of ancient equipment.
Not only the Army, but the Dragon Army and the Navy also had a large number of ancient warships.
After several expansions, the skeleton fleet of the great Qian Empire had almost 100000 people.
The Navy of the great Qian Empire, including the Navy of stupa mountain that had surrendered, had a total of more than 200000 soldiers.
Therefore, the battlefield was not only on land and in the sky, but also in the ocean.
However, the great Yan Empire was even more shocked by this battle.
According to their old thinking, the secret army that they controlled was several times more powerful than the other forces combined. They could destroy great Qian Empire more than ten times over.
Moreover, there was only one Shen lang in the great Qian Empire. After he was done for, the great Qian Empire would be vulnerable.
However, he didn’t expect that this was not the case at all. The two armies were actually evenly matched.
In terms of Air Force, the great Qian Empire only had less than 1000 supersonic flying beasts. In addition to the 8000 or so snow Eagle troops, it was less than one-sixth of the great Yan Empire’s.
However, with the Super Air Fortress as a supplement, nightmare stone rifles and nightmare stone machine guns, these terrifying weapons made up for the difference in numbers.
Therefore, in several Air Force battles, the two sides were evenly matched, and even the great Qian Empire had the upper hand.
In terms of Navy, the great Yan Empire also had more than three times that of the great Qian Empire. However, the battle situation was not as good as the Air Force.
As the great Qian Empire had The Lost Empire’s sea monster allies, Great Yan suffered heavy losses after three major wars. The great Yan Empire’s Navy had given up on the idea of invading raging tide city and could only try their best to protect their own seas.
At this point, the Navy of the great Qian Empire had firmly controlled the sea for more than 15000 miles. They even went on an expedition to Dark Castle in the South, annihilating and capturing the fleet that had surrendered to the Empire of Great Yan at stupa mountain.
After gaining control of the sea, raging tide city’s equipment and weapons, as well as the training of the new army, could continuously land to support various battlefields.
The eastern world had never seen such a crazy battle.
In less than half a year, they had become meat grinders.
The casualties on both sides were uncountable.
The Empire of Yan was stronger, had a larger population, and had a larger Army. Furthermore, many secret ancient ruins were constantly producing ancient armor and weapons.
However, great Qian Empire’s concept of war was more advanced.
In the face of such a terrifying battle, the Crown Prince of Dayan used Super Dragon’s regret without hesitation.
That was because Shen lang was finished. No one in the great Qian Empire would be able to launch or intercept Dragon’s regret.
In the end, it was a tragedy for Wanwan.
The great Yan Empire’s Super Dragon’s regret had been intercepted. Grand scholar Twain’s interception device had done a good job and successfully intercepted three Super Dragon’s regrets.
As a form of revenge, the great Qian Empire also launched five Super Dragon’s regrets.
At that time, the Empire of Great Yan was stunned. What had happened?
Wasn’t Shen lang done for? There shouldn’t be anyone in the great Qian Empire who could launch Super Dragon’s regret?
That’s right, Shen lang was not there, but Shen Ye was.
As the Crown Prince of the Empire of Great Yan, he had the authority to launch the Super Dragon’s regret.
Of course, out of the five Super Dragon’s regrets, the Empire of Great Yan had successfully intercepted four of them. However, there was still one that was not intercepted and exploded, causing heavy casualties.
Since then, both sides had tacitly agreed not to use Super Dragon’s regret.
And in this war, a person rose like a star. He was the Crown Prince of the great Qian Empire, Shen Ye.
He didn’t need to appear wise or powerful, nor did he need to personally command the battle, but he would always be on the front line of the main force. He had intercepted the Empire of Great Yan’s Super Dragon’s regret and launched it as a counterattack.
That was enough!
In the beginning, the great Qian Empire wanted to take revenge for Emperor Shen lang. After that, Prince Shen Ye let everyone see hope. The great Qian Empire and the Jiang family would never be destroyed. Furthermore, Shen Jun had announced to the world more than once that Emperor Shen lang was not dead and would return one day. No one in the great Yan Empire believed it, and no one in the great Qian Empire did not believe it. This boosted the morale of the people.
Hence, the Emperor of Great Yan and Shen lang did not participate in this world War.
In the end, the great Qian Empire had gained the upper hand.
If the Emperor and Shen lang did not appear and the two dragons did not participate in the battle, the great Yan Empire would definitely lose if the battle continued like this.
Because after the war broke out, the development of new weapons in raging tide city had entered an explosive period.
On average, he would make huge progress and breakthroughs in his weapon research in two months.
Due to the existence of The Lost Empire’s sea monster army, raging tide city was completely safe.
The only thing that was restricting the great Qian Empire was the lack of nightmare crystals.
As a result, fire god sect had sent an astronomical number of nightmare stone crystals to great Qian Empire three times. They had accumulated these crystals over hundreds of years.
........................
The Yan capital Palace!
The atmosphere here was relaxed yet somber.
They were relaxed because they felt that the Empire of Great Yan would definitely win. Great Yan had a giant dragon, and the giant dragon of great Qian Empire was already dead.
As long as the Emperor came out of seclusion again and the giant dragon of Dayan recovered completely, the great Qian Empire would be completely annihilated.
However, he had to at least hold on until the Emperor came out of seclusion again.
The Crown Prince felt a huge pressure.
The Empire of Great Yan was so wealthy, yet they were in such a terrible state in this battle.
In the first three months, because they were unprepared, the entire line of defense of the great Qian Empire had broken through thousands of miles, and 1.5 million kilometers had fallen.
In the last two months, the Empire of Great Yan’s Army managed to push their way back and took back one million square kilometers.
However, after half a year, the scale of victory once again slid towards great Qian Empire.
First, it was the situation on the Western Front. Although the kingdom of Great Jin had the support of Great Yan and their own secret army, they were still losing.
However, the battle on the Western Front was further away from the Yan capital.
The most worrying thing was the situation in the South and the main battlefield.
The main force of great gan and the new army of Yue country would soon meet.
On the main battlefield, the great Yan Empire had invested 700000 soldiers while the great Qian Empire had invested 300000 soldiers. The great Yan Empire still had a huge advantage, and they were on the defensive.
However, once the Army of Yue State broke through the min Prefecture’s defense line, they would join up with the main force of da Qian. At that time, there would be 500000 troops.
After the meaningless court session, the entire Hall once more fell silent.
The Crown Prince of Dayan looked up at the big map.
The battle on the east side was the least of his worries. After all, the Wu Kingdom was weak. Although Wu Wang had more than 400000 troops, the only ones with real combat power were the 150000 new soldiers trained in raging tide city. The remaining 250000 troops were very weak.
Even though the great Yan Empire’s Prince Wu only had 300000 soldiers, he was still able to hold off King Wu’s offensive. It was impossible for them to counterattack because Wu Wang had the great Qian Empire’s Navy and The Lost Empire’s sea monster army behind him. If they retreated, they would be under the protection of The Lost Empire’s Navy.
The situation in the West was the worst. Jin was struggling to hold on, but it was too far away from Yan capital and couldn’t affect the great Yan Empire for the time being. Besides, Prince Jin had no problem holding on for a few months.
The most worrying part was still the main battlefield.
Currently, the main forces of great gan and great Yan were scattered around the Bingzhou defense line.
Bingzhou, the capital of Anping province in the great Yan Empire, was six hundred miles away from the border of the great Qian Empire and two thousand nine hundred miles away from the Yan capital.
In other words, it was a great humiliation for great Qian’s main force to enter the Empire of Great Yan’s territory.
Even though it seemed like the Bingzhou province was far from the Yan capital. However, once the Bingzhou defense line was broken, the remaining 2000 li would be a flat plain with almost no shelter.
The king of Yue’s Army on the southern front was crazily attacking the min province defense line. Once they broke through, they would successfully join forces with the main force of da Qian.
When the 500000-strong Army broke through the Bingzhou defense line, it meant that the seven provinces in the south and west of the great Qian Empire had fallen.
This meant that the battle that had been balanced with great difficulty would collapse once again. Next, the Army of the great Qian Empire would directly attack the Yan capital.
........................
previously, I thought that the great Qian Empire would be like a pile of mud without Shen lang. I didn’t expect that the great Qian Empire would still be so ferocious even without Shen lang. The Crown Prince of Dayan sighed.
Prince Lian said, ” in the past, the great Qian Empire was like a baby. Shen lang had always taken care of it. Now, a few years have passed. The great Qian Empire has grown up.
Princess Ji Xuan said, ” Shen Lang’s development plan for the past few years is a combination of technology and ancient civilization. We didn’t understand it in the past. Now, we do.
Prince Lian said, ” it’s really earth-shattering. Their new army is clearly made up of ordinary people. The hundreds of thousands of us are special Warriors and Secret Warriors whose bloodlines have been modified. We even have ancient and special armors. Yet, we still can’t withstand their sharp attacks.
Indeed, the war of the great Qian Empire had become a complete system.
He would first use the nightmare stone magnetic bomb to paralyze the enemy’s control Center, ancient armor, and ancient weapons.
Next, Hellfire shells and grenades were fired at the ground.
Then, he used the nightmare stone rifle to shoot.
No words could describe the scene. The carpet bombing, hundreds of thousands of nightmare stone rifles, and countless machine guns fired at the same time. It was really a storm of bullets.
Currently, the supplies of Wu, Chu, and Yue countries were not enough. Every day, the XI Lun Empire had a huge merchant ship constantly transporting all kinds of metals.
Especially the fire god sect, in order to support this war, they had to empty out their assets for hundreds of years.
He didn’t even know what the fire god sect was doing. Was it worth it to pay so much? What can you get from the great Qian Empire?
“Fortunately, we have father. Fortunately, we have the giant dragon.” The Crown Prince of Dayan finally let out a sigh.
The Lian Prince and Princess Ji Xuan could not agree more.
That’s right. Fortunately, the great Yan Empire had a giant dragon, but the giant dragon of the great Qian Empire was already finished.
Otherwise, the Empire of Yan would really lose this battle.
we all know that when father comes out of seclusion again, when the great Flame Dragon appears again, all our enemies will be annihilated. “However, we can’t lose the defense line,” the Crown Prince said.”We can’t lose the battle of Bing Province.” If I lose, I, Zhuanxu, will probably have no face to inherit the throne.”
All the subjects of the Empire of Great Yan firmly believed that Great Yan would win because they had the Supreme Emperor and the great dragon of Great Yan.
But what about the Crown Prince of Xuanji?
Even without Shen Lang’s protection, the great Qian Empire could still win. If the Crown Prince lost the emperor’s protection, would he be defeated again and again?
In this world War, who was the Supreme Commander of both sides?
On the great Yan Empire’s side, it was the great Yan Crown Prince.
Coincidentally, there were many civil officials and valiant generals in great Qian Empire. There were five or more than ten commanders at the rank of Prince, and all of them could take charge of an area. However, there was only one Supreme Commander in name, and that was the Crown Prince of da Qian, Shen Ye.
Crown Prince versus Crown Prince, but the key was that the Crown Prince of Dayan was already forty or fifty years old, while Shen Ye was not even eleven years old.
If he lost this battle, people would say that the Crown Prince of Great Yan was not even as good as an eleven-year-old child, and that he had no face to inherit the throne.
At this moment, everyone was eagerly waiting. When would His Majesty the Emperor come out of seclusion? Let’s hurry up and take the giant dragon to sweep the world.
Only the Crown Prince of Dayan did not want his father to come out of seclusion.
At least, he had to wait until he won the battle of Bing Province and defeated the main force of da Qian before his father would come out of seclusion.
Perhaps His Majesty thought the same?
Now, the main forces of Great Yan and great Qian had completed their final assembly on the Bingzhou battlefield.
The decisive battle was about to start.
This final battle was of utmost importance. Once great Qian Empire was defeated, it would mean that great Qian’s decline was obvious. Following that, Great Yan’s main force would continue to push the flames of war into the territory of great Qian Empire.
And if Great Yan failed, it would be a great failure for Suan ni.
Next, the main force of the great Qian Empire would charge towards the Yan capital, which was more than two thousand miles away. It was almost impossible for the great Yan Empire to build a strong defense line like the Bing Province. 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨ｍ
“Should I use Super Dragon’s regret?” “Although the great Qian Empire has interceptors, they won’t be able to stop us if we launch dozens or even a hundred Super Dragon’s regrets at once,” Prince Lian replied.
“If that’s the case, the dozens of Dragon’s regrets of the great Qian Empire will also fall directly on our heads. They might even fall on our key cities. We can’t stop them completely,” Princess Ji Xuan said.
“However, we have more launching devices for Dragon’s regret and Dragon’s power than the great Qian Empire, don’t we?” Prince Lian asked.
“Once the situation gets to that point, there will be millions of casualties,” the Crown Prince said. We can’t fire Dragon’s regret unless we have no other choice.”
“Then, is it possible to murder the Crown Prince of da Qian?” Prince Lian asked.
Princess Ji Xuan asked,”do you want me to do it myself?” Or should I let the master of mang Tian Pavilion or Ji Wushuang do it personally?”
The Lian Prince fell silent. This was indeed impossible. The Crown Prince of da Qian, Shen Ye, had more than a few thousand top experts and special Forces Warriors by his side.
Not only were there top experts like Chou Yao ‘er and da Sha, but there were also those who had surrendered from stupa mountain and those grandmasters who had been modified.
To assassinate Crown Prince Shen Ye in the middle of hundreds of thousands of troops? That was too whimsical.
The six high priests of the fire god sect in the Western regions were always guarding by Prince Shen Ye’s side.
“Report!”
“Report!”
“Urgent, urgent!”
Suddenly, a warrior of the Empire of Great Yan’s Blackwater station descended from the sky on a snow Eagle.
Then, he held a report high and rushed in madly.
There were five feathers stuck to the report, which was almost the highest level.
The Crown Prince of Dayan looked at the armor of the warrior from the Blackwater tower and knew that he was coming from the West.
What could happen to the battle in the West?
Although the kingdom of Dajin was losing ground, it still had three-quarters of its territory left. At least, it would not be in danger of being destroyed for a few months.
Although King Chu’s offensive was sharp, he only had 400000 troops. The only ones who could really fight were the 100000 new troops trained by raging tide city.
As the battle progressed, King Chu’s Army was no longer as unstoppable as before, and the Prince of the great Jin could be considered to have barely held on.
“Your Royal Highness, Dajin’s main force was almost completely annihilated, and the enemy is heading straight for the capital. Should we save them?” this is the request for help from the king of the great Jin, ” the Scout from the black water tower shouted. hundreds of people were sent to send it off. I was the first one to arrive.
The Crown Prince of Dayan, Princess Ji Xuan, and Prince Lian were completely stunned.
Was he crazy? How was this possible?
Although the kingdom of Great Jin had suffered a huge loss in Ding Yuan city, they still had nearly a million soldiers and the hundreds of thousands of reinforcements from the great Yan Empire.
Even if they couldn’t defeat King Chu, they should have no problem defending. They were three times the size of King Chu’s Army.
“This is impossible. After half a year of war, the King of Chu’s Army will not exceed 300000. Li Hongtu’s Army will not exceed 100000 and their combat strength is worrying.” “Prince Jin has a city in his hands and countless troops. How could he have lost so quickly?” the Crown Prince of Great Yan said.
The Scout from the black water tower said, ” originally, the Western battlefield was in a stalemate. In the end, 150000 Great Tribulation Temple troops came from the Western Region. Almost all of them were secret troops. They were unstoppable and swept all the way. King Chu of the great Qian Empire, li Hongtu of the great Qian Empire, and the Army of the Great Tribulation Temple attacked King Jin’s Army from the East, South, and West. After two days of battle, King Jin was defeated and suffered countless casualties.”
The Crown Prince of Dayan almost went crazy after hearing this.
Great Tribulation Temple Army? The Great Tribulation Temple had already been wiped out in the Western Region, so where would the secret army come from? And 150,000? Who are you trying to fool?
From the ground?
However, today was destined to be the day of calamity for the Empire of Yan.
Another supersonic flying beast flew over from the sky. It was another warrior of the black water tower.
“Report, report, the min province defense line has fallen, the Army of Yue State has occupied the min province city, and will soon meet with the main force of great Qian. Bing province’s main defensive line is in danger, in danger!”
