"The Battle of Great Jade Mountain annihilated 500,000 Northern Barbarians troops in a single battle!"

"This is a resounding victory, a victory that can determine the fate of the entire Northern Barbarians. From now on, the only obstacle left for the Northern Barbarians is Yulong City, which no longer poses a threat!"

"Today we'll slaughter cattle and sheep; this king will drink with you until we're completely drunk!"

"Furthermore, everyone who has contributed this time will be promoted and rewarded..."

Seeing all those smiling faces, Lin Yi couldn't hide his joy and said with a smile.

This battle annihilated nearly 500,000 enemy troops with minimal losses of its own, making it an absolutely earth-shattering victory.

After this battle, the Northern Barbarians were essentially powerless to resist, meaning that their Northern Barbarians was practically within their grasp.

Such a great victory is worth celebrating.

Rewarding the troops was naturally an essential task, as soldiers are human beings and also need these supplies.

Long live our lord!!!

The crowd cheered. This was truly a grand gesture, a promotion and a fortune, with rewards including houses and money. Their lord had achieved everything in one fell swoop!

The soldiers were overjoyed. They were utterly loyal to their lord, and their lord had not forgotten their contributions. He was truly a wise ruler.

Soon they went to slaughter pigs and sheep in preparation for tonight's wild celebration.

Not far away, Duan Yingxiong and Wang Chengfei, who were in charge of supervising the supply train, finally made it up the mountain.

Seeing the corpses strewn across the ground, Duan Yingxiong and Wang Chengfei were completely dumbfounded, muttering to themselves, "What happened? It's over already?"

This is the Northern Barbarians!

How could a real country be destroyed so easily?

We only went back once, and the battle was already over. That's way too fast.

The soldier collecting the corpses glanced at the two men and said in a deep voice, "Of course we've killed them all. How could these people be a match for our lord? They were just overestimating themselves."

"Forehead!"

The two men's lips twitched, and for a moment they were speechless.

At this moment, they thought back to when the prince first entered Xiliang Commandery, when they actually wanted to unite against their lord. If Zhuo Feifan saw this scene, would he be scared to death?

The once invincible Northern Barbarians were utterly destroyed by the Prince of Xiliang.

Even though the capital of the Northern Barbarians still exists, the successive annihilation of nearly 500,000 to 600,000 troops is no joke. Yulong City is probably at its last gasp and is now at the mercy of the Prince of Xiliang.

Duan Yingxiong's eyes lit up as he excitedly exclaimed, "Your Highness is truly amazing! This is something even the Prince of Northern Liang couldn't accomplish, but the Prince of Xiliang did it, and did it even more thoroughly!"

This wasn't just defeating the Northern Barbarians; it was Northern Barbarians annihilating them!

The number of corpses on the ground alone is probably no less than 300,000. This has broken the bones of the Northern Barbarians, and they will probably never be able to stand up again.

"Tsk tsk, now you know how lucky we were back then, right? You really have to have a good eye. Following the prince was definitely the right thing to do. Maybe we'll even become loyal ministers to the emperor someday!" Wang Chengfei couldn't help but sigh.

Both families have always been very supportive of the Prince of Xiliang, even at the cost of sacrificing their own family interests. This is why they were able to transport supplies and provisions.

Although Zhou Cang was in charge, this also showed the Prince of Xiliang's trust in them.

Duan Yingxiong couldn't help but beam with joy, exclaiming excitedly, "Haha, that makes perfect sense!"

Lin Yi, of course, had no idea what these two were thinking. He had already activated his system; this Great Jade Mountain deserved some good rewards!

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully annihilating the invading Northern Barbarians army with your martial prowess, achieving Great Jade Mountain Da Yu, and receiving a super reward gift pack."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the top-tier general— Zhao Zilong of Changshan!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired the top strategist— the Guo Jia, the Ghostly Genius!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired a top-tier legion—the 100,000- Wudang Flying Army, and have obtained legion commander Wang Ping!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired 100,000 Hanzhong Infantry!"

Holy crap!

Upon seeing this reward, Lin Yi's pupils constricted. No wonder it was called a super gift pack; this reward was simply too amazing.

Zhao Yun, a top-tier general, is another story. He charged in and out of Changban Slope seven times, demonstrating his unparalleled strength.

If one had to name someone who could reliably defeat him, it would only be Lü Bu, the legendary figure second only to one person.

He single-handedly broke through the obstruction of Xu Chu, Li Dian, and Yue Jin, then instantly killed Gao Lan, one of the Four Pillars of Hebei, and defeated Zhang He in thirty rounds. Such a record is absolutely formidable.

Then came the appearance of Guo Jia, a top strategist, which was an even bigger move.

Although Guo Jia died relatively young, his strategist abilities were among the best, even ranking in the top three.

As for his other strengths, there's no need to elaborate; these are all well-known facts. The fact that Cao Cao specifically created the position of Military Advisor and Chief Instructor for him speaks volumes.

Furthermore, there's a saying that without Guo Jia's death, there would be no Three Kingdoms period, which is also an affirmation of Guo Jia's abilities.

Unfortunately, such geniuses are often envied by fate; otherwise, history might have been rewritten.

If the appearance of these two talented individuals, one in literature and the other in martial arts, was a pleasant surprise, then the overall reward for the Wudang Flying Army was even more eye-catching, as it essentially handed over an entire legion.

He even received a gift from Legion Commander Wang Ping; this was an incredibly generous and thoughtful gesture.

The Wudang Flying Army was known as one of the strongest legions in Shu Han, and its strength was beyond doubt.

It is particularly adept at mountain warfare, which will be a great fighting force for the future reorganization of the southern chieftains. It has come at a very opportune time, and the 100,000 troops provided can be directly formed into a complete unit that can be used immediately.

While Wang Ping, the legion commander, might only be second-rate in terms of martial prowess, his military capabilities were by no means lacking. He once held off Cao Shuang's 100,000 elite troops with only 30,000 men and even covered the retreat of the Shu army at Jieting.

That is why he is hailed as the person who changed the course of history.

With his cooperation and that of the Wudang Flying Army, this would be an absolutely powerful fighting force, enough to dominate the region.

As for the final 100,000 Hanzhong Infantry, they were clearly the troops of Shu Han. Their combat effectiveness is debatable, but it was still quite good.

This time, the rewards weren't fancy; it's clear the system included everyone from Great Jade Mountain, which is why there was such a huge surge, sending three top talents all at once.

Just then, Wang Yue hurriedly entered the tent and said in a deep voice, "My lord, we have received news that Great Ning has begun attacking our Xiliang. Half a million troops are launching a joint offensive. Should we go to provide support?"

Well, that's a problem!

Lin Yi pondered for a moment. Now, the Northern Barbarians were basically doomed, and only a few people needed to be left behind to deal with them.
