The Cangling Zhang family dominates the continent!

Chapter 125 Siege and Agreement

At the moment of dawn, the eastern sky had just turned a little pale, and the cold mist had not yet completely dissipated, but a large army was already ready to go.

The military flag fluttered in the breeze, and the mysterious runes on the flag flashed with a cold light, as if containing endless power.

The soldiers wore armor made of black iron with strange patterns carved on it.

Everyone had a determined gaze and a solemn expression, holding a cold and gleaming magical weapon in their hands, as if they couldn't wait to drink the enemy's blood.

In the military formation, the infantrymen held long spears with the tips pointing to the sky. The neat and orderly formations were like a Great Wall of Steel.

The cavalrymen sat astride their nimble war horses, which neighed and pawed the ground with their hooves, waiting for the order to charge into battle.

The crossbowmen carried strong bows and crossbows, and their quivers were filled with sharp arrows. Each arrow was cast with a mysterious spell, and once shot, it would be able to penetrate the enemy's defenses.

The entire army was immersed in a solemn atmosphere, and the flame of battle was burning in the heart of every soldier.

"Looks like you all had a good rest!"

Ning Chuanshui scanned the army in the air and nodded with satisfaction.

"Then... let's go and attack Leopard City!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

After hearing Ning Chuanshui's order, the 400,000 troops responded in unison, their voices shaking the sky.

"Generalissimo! Generalissimo!"

A cultivator at the Dan Hua realm in Leopard City was shouting hurriedly at the door of a room.

boom!

The door of the room was opened, and the angry voice of Manniuniu came from inside:

"Damn it, do you want to die? Don't you know that this marshal is recovering from his injuries?"

Hearing this, Hu Yan was really frightened and said quickly:

"I don't want to disturb you, but something urgent has happened!"

"What's the matter? Tell me!" Upon hearing this, Manniuniu also had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"The army of the Linyue Dynasty... is coming here." Hu Yanzhe said in horror.

"What did you say!"

"How many soldiers are there in Leopard City now? How many monks are there? How long will it take for our reinforcements to arrive?"

After hearing Manniuniu's three questions, Hu Yan thought for a moment and said:

"Including our original soldiers, there are a total of 90,000, but there are only a little over 3,000 monks. As for support..."

"Forgive me for being blunt, but even if reinforcements arrive, they won't be able to stop the enemy."

Hu Yanyan sighed and continued:

"There are only more than 50,000 reinforcements, and only more than 1,000 monks have arrived, and there are even fewer high-level ones."

Manniuniu knew that it was impossible for those big families to send disciples to the battlefield because they had been enjoying wealth and glory since childhood and they were afraid of death!

In addition, the number of barbarians is far less than that of the Linyue Dynasty, so there are even fewer people coming to participate in the war.

"Damn it! If they're afraid of death, why did they agree to the Wushuang Dynasty's demands? Don't they know that the Linyue Dynasty will retaliate once they recover?"

"Are the lives of our soldiers not lives? Aren't we here to protect the barbarians? Isn't their prosperity and wealth due to our protection?"

In the room, Man Niu Niu was furious and shattered everything in the room.

Manniuniu's background was not good, but he was gifted and happened to be valued by the Barbarian King, which is why he achieved what he has today.

Although he had a bad temper and often lost his temper with his subordinates, he genuinely cared about his soldiers, so almost no one in the barracks said anything bad about him.

After venting his anger, Manniuniu looked at the messy room, sighed deeply and said:

"Write a letter to the Barbarian King and explain everything that happened here!"

"What's happening to the people in the city?"

Hu Yan replied:

“After hearing the news, most people have already left Leopard City, but some still want to hold on to the city!”

"Tell them to leave, and we... will retreat too!" Manniuniu said this unwillingly.

"Grand Marshal, no! You will definitely be punished for this!" Hu Yanzhe exclaimed.

"There's such a huge disparity in strength. I can't just watch you die! Give the orders!" Manniuniu said helplessly.

"But..." Hu Yan hesitated and couldn't speak.

"Do you want to disobey military orders?" Manniuniu glared at Huyanzi sternly, and his tone became serious.

Hu Yan was shocked and quickly bowed his head and replied, "As you command! Marshal!"

He knew that he could not change Manniuniu's decision and could only obey orders.

Manniuniu sighed, and a trace of pain and helplessness flashed in his eyes.

He understood what this retreat meant, but in order to protect the lives of his soldiers, he had to make this difficult choice.

After the order was issued, it instantly caused an uproar in the army. Many soldiers came to find Man Niu Niu, but were all sternly rejected by him.

Two days later, the Linyue Dynasty army arrived outside Leopard City at full speed.

After Ning Chuanshui explored the city, he found that there were no troops stationed there, only a few thousand people hiding in their homes.

So, it was easy to occupy Leopard City.

……

A year passed quickly, as fleeting as a fleeting moment. During this time, the Linyue Dynasty's army swept through the barbarians with unstoppable force, conquering sixteen cities in a row.

In this process, not all barbarians are vulnerable.

Some barbarians rose up in resistance and tried to resist the attack of the Linyue Dynasty army, but they were eventually ruthlessly killed.

However, surprisingly, during the entire war, Manniu was the only powerful spiritual master of the barbarians who appeared on the battlefield.

This phenomenon may seem strange, but it's actually not difficult to understand. After all, even for the Linyue Dynasty, Spirit Realm experts are rare, with only about twenty of them in the entire country.

For a relatively small tribe like the Barbarians, having eleven spiritual realm masters is already a considerable number.

More importantly, there are only four barbarian spiritual realm masters who are as powerful as or even stronger than Ning Chuanshui.

Therefore, it is not surprising that in this war, the only powerful barbarian spiritual realm warrior, Manniu Niu, appeared on the battlefield.

Just when they attacked the sixteenth city, a letter from the Barbarian King was delivered to Ning Chuanshui.

The letter mentioned that the Barbarian King hoped that the two sides could reach a ceasefire agreement.

The content of the agreement is as follows:

"Stop the attack. My barbarian tribe will never attack the Linyue Dynasty in the next hundred years, and we will destroy all cooperation with the Wushuang Dynasty."

Faced with such a proposal, Ning Chuanshui realized that this was beyond his personal decision.

So he quickly sent an envoy to convey the news to King Xia and asked him to make a decision.

Because it was sent by a cultivator in the Danhua realm who practiced wind-attributed techniques, King Xia's reply was transmitted back to Ning Chuanshui in less than a month.

The King of Xia agreed to the conditions proposed by the King of Man, and the war ended.

The war that lasted for nearly two years in the western border finally came to an end.

Both the Linyue Dynasty and the barbarians paid a huge price.
