The Western Regions Frontier!
A great battle has just taken place here. The once arrogant and domineering Jushi Kingdom has encountered its most terrifying enemy and was torn apart by the Xiliang army in an instant.
Like a tiger descending a mountain, they charged straight into the heart of the territory, heading directly for the royal city.
"Holy shit!"
Upon arriving and witnessing this scene, Lin Rusong couldn't help but drop the roasted sweet potato he was holding, exclaiming, "No way! This battle is too fast! I haven't even arrived yet!"
He was somewhat worried about his son's army, so he led 10,000 elite troops to keep an eye on it and also to see the strength of his son's army.
To his utter astonishment, the battle was almost over before he even arrived, leaving him completely dumbfounded.
During this period, the Jushi Kingdom had been causing trouble on the border of Northern Liang. Over 20,000 Jushi Kingdom troops were gathered there; how could they just disappear like that?
"I told you not to roast sweet potatoes. Not only did you waste the seeds, but now you're delaying things too," Wang Ziwen couldn't help but complain, but at the same time, she was also shocked by the fighting power of the prince's army. This was simply outrageous.
"Get lost! You're talking like you haven't roasted any sweet potatoes yet. Don't think I don't know you've almost eaten half of the sweet potatoes in your yard."
Lin Rusong immediately objected, "My son gave me these seeds, what's wrong with me eating two sweet potatoes? Is that illegal?"
And you, old man, ate just as much.
Wang Ziwen's face stiffened, and he said awkwardly, "Haha, I was just joking. Let's go check the situation on the battlefield. Does the young master need our help?"
They raised the banner of Northern Liang and headed towards the battlefield.
Only one group of people remained on the battlefield, cleaning up the mess. They paused for a moment upon seeing the Prince of Northern Liang, then continued tidying up.
Only one captain approached, respectfully saying, " Wu Di, Captain of the Asura Army, pays his respects to the Prince of Northern Liang!"
" The Asura Army?"
Lin Rusong was slightly taken aback. The Asura Army was an elite force, yet they had been reduced to only cleaning up the battlefield? It seemed that this Xiliang Army valued factional relationships very much.
He said in a deep voice, " The Jushi Kingdom and the Shachi Kingdom are no small matter; they have the backing of the Great Ning Dynasty. Is there anything you need my help with?"
"Help?"
Upon hearing Lin Rusong's words, Wu Di paused for a moment, then shook his head violently, asking in confusion, "Is it something extraordinary? But now the strategist and his men have already reached the heart of the Jushi Kingdom, and they've probably reached the capital by now."
"What? They've already reached the capital? That's way too fast! When did Bai Zizai become so powerful?" Lin Rusong was startled; this was far too fast.
Although the Jushi Kingdom was not large, it was still about half the size of Northern Liang; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to provoke Northern Liang.
It's a bit of an exaggeration that Xiliang Commandery has reached the capital so quickly.
Wu Di smiled wryly, "We barely had to lift a finger. The Crown Prince's White Horse Volunteers instantly destroyed their defenses, and then we charged in. Apparently, this is a quick-win strategy invented by the Crown Prince, called 'Blitzkrieg'!"
"What kind of blitzkrieg is this? All you need to do is run fast?"
Lin Rusong swallowed hard. This White Horse Volunteers so outrageous, instantly destroying the enemy's defenses. What kind of nonsense was this?
He couldn't help but mutter, "This is fucking outrageous, they don't even need my help."
"Help?"
Upon hearing his words, Wu Di paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, the strategist said that these two countries are like trying to light a lantern in a toilet—they're practically courting death and don't need any help. If Your Highness wants to help, why not help clean up the battlefield? The strategist said that if Your Highness comes, all the equipment from the Jushi Kingdom can be handed over to you."
He pointed to the equipment of the Jushi Kingdom army on the ground. The strategist said that these things were not very good and the Xiliang Army had no need for them, so it would be better to give them away.
"What? You want me to clean up the battlefield?" Lin Rusong's face turned green upon hearing this.
What do you mean by cleaning up the battlefield? It's clearly just picking up trash.
I am the Prince of Northern Liang, and the father of your Prince of Xiliang! How dare you order me to clean up the battlefield and pick up trash?
This is absolutely outrageous! It must have been that old bastard Bai Zizai's idea; he's utterly inhuman!
Wang Ziwen tugged at his arm and whispered, "Your Highness, take a closer look. All this equipment is from the Great Ning Dynasty. These are all good stuff."
" Great Ning's equipment?"
Lin Rusong glanced at the equipment on the ground and his eyes lit up. Sure enough, it was all equipment from Great Ning, even newer than what he had.
He gritted his teeth and said, "That Li Anlan! He told me he had no equipment, but both alien races are equipped with the same Great Ning! This is outrageous!"
You'd rather please outsiders than please me, right?
Only you, Li Anlan, would consider this a treasure. Even my son wouldn't look down on trash like you.
"Trash? Do we still want it?" Wu Di asked cautiously, seeing the prince gritting his teeth.
"Want!"
Lin Rusong said with absolute certainty.
He then looked at his brothers behind him and said in a deep voice, "All of you, get to work and clean up the battlefield. These weapons and equipment were left to us by the young master..."
Picking up trash isn't illegal, so why not take the free equipment?
Wang Ziwen: "..."
At this time, the Jushi Kingdom was surrounded by an army of 100,000, and the entire palace was besieged.
The King of the Jushi Kingdom stood on the city wall, looking at the densely packed army outside, and felt a chill run down his spine.
He gritted his teeth and said, " Tu'er, haven't the people from the Shachi Kingdom arrived yet? Once my Jushi Kingdom is destroyed, the next one to fall will be the Shachi Kingdom!!!"
Now we can't count on Great Ning anymore; the only one we can rely on is our neighbor Shachi Kingdom.
Although the two countries occasionally clashed, they often colluded and frequently harassed Northern Liang together.
In this situation, I absolutely need my good brothers' support.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, they have already dispatched 30,000 reinforcements with the full strength of the nation. Together we will have 50,000 troops, which should be enough to hold out for several months."
"Once Great Ning receives the news, they will definitely help us. We can also seek help from other countries. After all, if we are wiped out, others won't have an easy time either!"
As a general of the Jushi Kingdom, Tu'er felt a chill run down his spine looking at the army outside the city. However, as a general, he had seen a lot of things and did not lose his composure.
However, he was completely stunned by the densely packed army before him.
He had been showing off on the front lines, preparing to make three incursions into the Northern Liang border, but unexpectedly a ruthless person suddenly appeared, who, like a reckless fool, directly plunged into his army.
The key point is that this army is extremely powerful; it actually tore apart their own troops, causing the army to fall apart.
Just as he was about to retaliate, a rain of arrows, obscuring the sky, flew towards him, terrifying him so much that he wet himself in fear. His 20,000-strong army collapsed at the first touch and became the targets of slaughter.
If his warhorse hadn't been fast, he probably would have been dead by now.
