Clang!
The long sword was drawn, and in the next instant Sima Yu's head had already fallen to the ground!
Looking at his corpse, Chen Sishui gritted his teeth and said, "He deserted in the face of battle, causing me to lose many soldiers and generals. He deserves to die!" No wonder Hua Zigan suffered a great defeat. He clearly came back victorious and his army was at the height of its power!
Seeing that the general didn't attack him, Hua Zigan breathed a sigh of relief, finally escaping a disaster!
"General, something's not right now!" Chen Sishui's deputy said in a deep voice, looking troubled.
Now that Xuanyi City has fallen, our 300,000 reinforcements are less about providing support and more about directly confronting the enemy's 500,000-strong army. This is simply too difficult!
Chen Sishui took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "This Ning Kun is unworthy of his reputation. He was defeated so easily. It's utterly shameful. My Great Ning has been ruined by him!"
As a result, almost the entire north fell to the enemy.
That's not all; the real problem is that the road to the south has been opened up. That's the real trouble. With the walls of White Jade City, we probably won't be able to stop the enemy.
The only good news is that Mountain and River Commandery is still intact, so he's not entirely without allies. Unfortunately, Mountain and River Commandery doesn't have many troops left, otherwise they could join forces to attack the enemy from both sides.
Just as this thought crossed my mind, I heard that scouts were coming.
"Report! Mountain and River Pass is under attack! The enemy is Jia Xu, the Xiliang Army, who is leading an army of 200,000 and is fiercely attacking Mountain and River Pass. They need our support!"
Chen Sishui's face turned green.
Xuanyi City needs my support, and Mountain and River Pass also needs my support. Who are we, with 300,000 men, going to support?
He gritted his teeth and said, "Report the situation here to the Emperor via urgent dispatch! Also, we need reinforcements, otherwise we won't be able to hold off the enemy!"
Damn it!
Xuanyi City has 500,000 troops, Mountain and River Pass 200,000, that's a total of 700,000 troops! This is outrageous!
He immediately ordered the entire army to be on high alert, determined not to let the enemy find any openings, otherwise the last shred of defense would be gone, and that would be the most terrifying thing.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves arose outside, causing Chen Sishui's expression to change drastically. It was clearly the sound of cavalry passing by.
Holy crap!
He shuddered and roared, "Prepare to meet the enemy!"
Are these White Horse Volunteers so arrogant that they dare to march into my White Jade City? I still have more than 200,000 troops here. Do they think I'm just a decoration?
As the sound of hooves grew closer, he saw the enemy's banners. His face darkened further, and he practically gritted his teeth as he said, " The Xiliang Iron Cavalry! What do they mean by this? Are they going to take turns attacking me?"
You bastard, you have no sportsmanship!
Just as he was preparing to engage the enemy, he discovered that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry completely ignored him and slipped past him without a distance.
What's going on?
Hua Zigan was also completely baffled. Why weren't they attacking us? Did they intend to surround us completely?
Unfortunately, his worries were unnecessary; the enemy's troops did not completely cross the border until about half an incense stick's time had passed.
"Not good!"
At this moment, Chen Sishui seemed to wake from a dream, his expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Oh no! They're heading towards the capital! Could it be that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry intends to strike right at the heart of the capital?"
Just as he was about to turn back and launch a pincer attack on the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, he heard the sound of countless hooves approaching from behind, and a banner came straight towards him.
Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!
Chen Sishui instantly realized that this was aimed at him, and he roared, "Men, fire! We absolutely cannot let him break through our city walls!"
The Battle of White Jade City has begun!
"Report! A great victory at Xuanyi City! General Jiang Wei of General-in-Chief Who Shakes the South has captured Xuanyi City, killing 150,000 enemies, and the remaining 50,000 have surrendered on their knees!!!"
The messenger, riding swiftly on horseback, shouted battle reports all the way, instantly igniting excitement throughout Xiliang.
The people of Xiliang were stunned. The Prince of Xiliang had only issued the battle order less than two days ago, and Xuanyi City had already fallen?
They had initially worried that such a large-scale battle would be disadvantageous to Xiliang, but the outcome was completely unexpected, much to their delight.
"Haha, Xiliang will surely win!"
"That's impressive! Ning Kun was supposed to be the Little Human Butcher of Great Ning,' yet he was killed by General Jiang Wei of General-in-Chief Who Shakes the South. And he didn't even have any notable achievements!"
"Isn't that obvious? If he weren't powerful, would the Prince of Xiliang have appointed him as the General-in-Chief Who Shakes the South?"
"Of course! This is a great general who shakes the All Under Heaven!"
The people applauded, for this meant that the people of Xiliang could almost avoid war, because it would now be the Prince of Xiliang's domain, and they would be the ones fighting others.
Some elderly people couldn't help but put their hands together in prayer, saying, "May the gods bless Prince of Xiliang, so we can live a good life from now on."
Among the crowd, the Zhang Ruoyun brothers' eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but feel overjoyed, realizing they had finally made the right choice.
Zhang Ruohai couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "My God! Ning Kun was one of the most famous figures in Great Ning, and now he's been wiped out just like that! This is the biggest obstacle we've ever faced!"
The Prince of Xiliang has essentially succeeded in his campaign against Great Ning!
With this army of 500,000 marching south, almost no one could stop them except Ning Kun. Now that Ning Kun is dead, Xiliang has almost succeeded halfway.
"Good heavens, are we about to become loyal subjects of the emperor?" Zhang Ci couldn't help but get excited.
He gave up his post as governor of Youning Commandery and went to Xiliang. Now it seems he made the right decision!
The other members of the northern aristocratic families were also eager to help. The situation of the Prince of Xiliang was very good, and he had to be given the greatest support. This was their chance to prove themselves!
"Pass down the order: our northern aristocratic families will provide full assistance to the Prince of Xiliang!"
"We'll give you money if you want money, and we'll give you manpower if you want manpower!"
"Anyone who dares to stop us will be killed without mercy!"
If this campaign succeeds, Lin Yi will no longer be the Prince of Xiliang, but a true emperor-level figure, and a super being who can unify the north and south.
If you don't even know how to curry favor with someone like that, you don't deserve to live!
The news quickly reached Great Ning Port, causing a stir among the army preparing to conquer Wuning Commandery!
Long live Xiliang!!!
"My lord is All Under Heaven!"
In an instant, the army's morale soared, and everyone's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. Jiang Wei had set a good example for them, so they couldn't afford to lose face.
Hahaha!
Xun Yu, who was seeing Lin Yi off, couldn't help but burst into laughter, praising, "My lord's judgment is indeed astute! This Jiang Wei has not disappointed you; it seems this battle has been a resounding victory!"
"It was indeed a resounding victory!"
Lin Yi tossed the battle report to him and casually chuckled.
In this battle, the enemy's commander-in-chief Ning Kun was killed, nearly 150,000 enemy troops were annihilated, and the remaining 50,000 chose to kneel and surrender. This was definitely a huge victory.
He said in a deep voice, " Xun Yu should send someone to take over Great Wasteland Commandery and pacify the people. As for Ao Zang, give him the position of general and let him fight alongside Jiang Wei!"
Now that you've surrendered to us, you should at least earn some merit; killing a prisoner isn't enough!
It's fine to use this guy; he originally had a pretty good reputation. But he's just too unlucky. Let him go and cause trouble in the military.
"Understood!" Xun Yu nodded and smiled.
Lin Yi then activated the system in his mind. He should have received a large reward for this great victory at Xuanyi City.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully annihilating the Great Wasteland Commandery by subduing others with force. You are rewarded with 100,000 Danyang Garrison Soldiers and 100,000 civilians."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully defeating the villain Tu Ningkun with your martial prowess. Reward: General Zhang Fei!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for Win People Over with Virtue and successfully subduing Ao Zang, the governor of Great Wasteland Commandery. You are rewarded with two thousand management talents."
"Bite..."
