Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

"Sir! I have important intelligence to report!"

Without Pang Maoxun even having to ask, Ren Qingkuan had already redeemed himself through his actions.

"The plan of the Yi people in Luyang Province is to build a defensive line along the Heidang Mountain to block the Daqian Zhenguo Army."

"Our 7th Cavalry Division's main mission this time is to rush to repair defensive fortifications at Black Mountain."

"The twenty divisions of the barbarian people have now all entered Luyang Province."

“We…” Ren Qingkuan casually slapped himself lightly: “Zhuo Yongwang’s rebel army also transferred sixteen divisions and an independent brigade to enter Luyang.”

"Apart from our 7th Cavalry Division, the remaining fifteen divisions are all infantry divisions, and that independent brigade is a cavalry brigade."

"The commander-in-chief of the war in Luyang Province is the general of the Yi Kingdom army, Yamanakai."

"This person is extremely arrogant and a fanatical advocate of war."

"Moreover, this mountain well looks down on us Qian people at all."

"If it weren't for the repeated emphasis from the Yi Kingdom's headquarters—that Yamanaka-i was not allowed to change the plan to deploy defenses and blockades along the Heidang Mountains, Yamanaka-i would have already extended his reach into Jia'an Province."

“The same San Chengjie who was killed in Majialing was just following suit—a major battalion commander who didn’t give our division commander any face at all.”

"They really didn't even give us a token of respect!"

"Of course, Hu Changquan deserves it too! This kind of separatist who is determined to follow Zhuo Yongwang down this dark path does not deserve sympathy!"

"I had privately advised him to surrender and revolt long ago, but he wouldn't listen..."

Ren Qingkuan was talking nonsense with a straight face.

While explaining the situation, he didn't forget to whitewash himself in three sentences. Anyway, Hu Changquan is already dead, so he can make up whatever he wants.

"The plan of the barbarians is to assemble 10 barbarian divisions and 12 rebel divisions along the Black River Mountains within half a month to form a defense."

"I've also heard that the Yi Kingdom's Yamanakai might personally oversee the battle from Black Mountain..."

Ren Qingkuan recounted all the information he knew in great detail.

In the end, it got a little out of control...

Useful or useless, anything Ren Qingkuan knew—he revealed it all!

This includes rumors that Ren Qingkuan knew or had heard, such as what brand of cigarettes Zhuo Yongwang liked to smoke, Wu Huaiyu's love for spicy food, and the fact that Yang Guodong, the garrison commander of Jicheng, was Zhuo Yongwang's son-in-law but secretly kept a mistress.

More than an hour later, Ren Qingkuan, who had made two large cans of beef and a large pot of water, finally ended his voluntary confession process "without feeling satisfied".

You know what—don't underestimate Ren Qingkuan just because he's only the Major General Chief of Staff of the 7th Cavalry Division of the Independent Army.

They really know a lot of information!

It's clear that Ren Qingkuan has a habit of being a busybody...

Thus, Ren Qingkuan basically gave a completely unreserved account.

Pang Maoxun had a pretty good grasp of the plans the Yi people were preparing to make in Luyang...

That evening, Pang Maoxun, commander of the 96th Air Assault Division of the Daqian Zhenguo Army, directly reported the important intelligence he had compiled to the Imperial Supreme Command via coded telegram.

Meanwhile, before the Sancheng Battalion was completely annihilated, it also telegraphed the 20th Division of the Yi Kingdom about their ambush by the Daqian Zhenguo Army at Majialing.

-------------------------------------

That night.

Hongzhou, the capital of Luyang Province.

"Gentlemen, we have just confirmed some bad news - the Qian Kingdom's army has entered Luyang territory ahead of schedule via airborne landing."

The exact troop strength is currently unknown...

"However, one thing is certain—the force that was airdropped into Luyang territory in advance was definitely not a small group of enemy troops."

General Yamanakai, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Tri-Nation Alliance and commander of the Inui Expeditionary Army, delivered a grim report at an emergency meeting on the devastating news that the Mitsunari Battalion and the 7th Cavalry Division of the Independent Army had been completely annihilated at Majialing.

Upon hearing this news, the barbarian generals present were immediately thrown into an uproar.

The combined strength of the 30th Battalion and the 7th Cavalry Division of the Independent Army is nearly 10,000 men.

Although they were ambushed, the fact that the enemy forces were completely annihilated in just five or six hours shocked the barbarian division commanders attending the meeting, and even more so, left them in disbelief.

"Commander, I believe that the enemy forces that have entered Luyang are at least a division-level combat unit."

"Moreover, this unit is definitely the elite force in the Qian Kingdom's army!"

"Otherwise, even with the advantageous terrain of Majialing, it would have been impossible for the 30% brigade and the Independent Army's 7th Cavalry Division to be completely annihilated by the enemy in such a short time!"

Major General Maruta, the staff officer of the Inui Dispatch Army, gave his analysis with absolute certainty.

"I also strongly agree with Chief of Staff Maruta's reasoning."

Suppressing his anger, Yamanakai stood up and went to the map, pointing to the location of Majialing: "If we don't deal with this Qian Kingdom army that suddenly appeared in the Majialing area as soon as possible..."

"This will directly affect our deployment plan in Heidang Mountain."

"Therefore, we must annihilate this vanguard force of the Qian Kingdom before the main force of the Qian Kingdom arrives!"

"Otherwise, the Black Mountain blocking plan formulated by headquarters would not be able to be carried out at all."

At this point, Yamanakai solemnly bowed deeply to everyone: "Here, I would like to express my apologies to everyone for my previous underestimation of the enemy!"

"As the supreme commander of the Qian Kingdom's dispatched army, I really shouldn't have made such a basic mistake."

"My attitude influenced many people and directly led to the annihilation of the 30% Brigade and the 7th Cavalry Division of the Independent Army in the Battle of Majialing."

"The fact that the Zhenguo Army was able to annihilate nearly 10,000 men, including 30% of the battalion, in such a short time is enough to show that the Zhenguo Army's combat power is quite formidable!"

"Therefore, in the upcoming operations, I hope everyone can put aside their contempt for the Qian Kingdom's army, just like I have."

"The humiliation of Majialing needs to be washed away by us!"

"The main camp's plans must not be hindered by this Qian Kingdom army that entered the country ahead of schedule."

Yamanaka looked around at the division commanders who had all stood up and ordered, "What we need to do now is—to annihilate this enemy force within three days, at any cost!"

“A powerful enemy will only inspire the Imperial Army to fight with greater morale and combat effectiveness.”

"I believe that the Imperial Army, by setting aside its contempt and going all out, will surely shine brightly on the battlefield of Qian Kingdom!"

Enraged, Yamanakai raised his clenched fist and roared with a ferocious expression, "annihilate them completely..."

"Let them act as if they've never been to Luyang!"

Division commanders familiar with Yamanakai knew—the commander was very angry, and the consequences would be severe......................
