Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 280 The Most Delightful Achievements for Transmigrators

Sun Yanwan charged and killed hundreds of Yelü warriors, nearly killing Yelü Jiu on the battlefield. The Yelü chieftain, known as the cannibalistic demon, hesitated for two days, but had no choice, so he finally agreed, abandoning his weapons, armor, and horses.

Sun Yanwan sent troops out of the camp, collected weapons, armor, and horses, and divided Yelü into ten divisions to prevent the surrendered troops from becoming restless. He also provided them with some food and water.

Sun Yanwan then sent someone to contact the Southern Xia people. Zhe Shibo heard that Sun Yanwan had taken over the Yelü tribe and was willing to exchange three thousand warhorses for them. After some bargaining with this Southern Xia master, Sun Yanwan exchanged the surrendered Yelü soldiers for one thousand warhorses and five thousand slaves.

Sun Yanwan had considered killing Yelü Jiu.

Firstly, the seven thousand Yelü warriors still possessed considerable fighting power. Even if Yelü Jiu were killed, he would not dare to take in the Yelü tribe, which had a cannibalistic habit. Secondly, killing surrendered soldiers would damage his reputation and hinder future battlefield recruitment. It would be most advantageous for him to use them to exchange for resources with Nanxia. He could also gain some fame through this action.

This group of slaves included all sorts of people. Most of them were people captured by the state of Boshi in its wars with other countries further west, but there were also people from Boshi and some from the Northern Yan.

Sun Yanwan dispersed the slaves, organized them into different groups, and had people preach the Three Transformations of Xuanhuang to brainwash them every day. The effect was quite remarkable, and many people converted to the Xuanhuang Dao.

Time flies on the battlefield; half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

The army sent by Bo Shi Kingdom, which landed at Black Dragon City to launch a surprise attack on Northern Yan from behind, was unable to sustain itself due to the loss of its fleet and supplies. After a long march and numerous mishaps, it was intercepted by Zhe Shi Bobo, a famous general and martial arts master from Southern Xia. After holding out for half a year, it was exhausted and Zhe Shi Bobo seized the opportunity to defeat it in one battle.

The war was turned around thanks to the addition of this famous general from Southern Xia.

Sun Yanwan, who was originally supposed to intercept this Bo Shi army, inexplicably found himself at the forefront and did not have time to engage in combat with the Bo Shi army.

Zheshi Bobo decisively defeated the Boshi Kingdom's army that had crossed the sea, and immediately retreated westward, making the battles on the front lines even more intense.

In the past six months, the Demonic Cult Army under Sun Yanwan's command has gradually transformed into the "Xuanhuang Army." Not only have the remnants of various grassland tribes been recruited and the surrendered soldiers of Boshi Kingdom been gathered in, but even some of the original Demonic Cult Army have turned to believe in the Xuanhuang Dao Ancestor.

He didn't participate in many battles. Whether in the eyes of the Northern Yan royal court or Zhe Shibo of Southern Xia, he was an unruly fellow who wouldn't listen to any orders and loved to plunder the spoils of war.

In the past six months, the Xuanhuang Army has swelled to seventy or eighty thousand men. Even Zhe Shibobo once lamented that if the Southern Xia border army had such a commander, they would no longer have to worry about enemy attacks, but they would also no longer have to think about mobilizing such traitors.

Sun Yanwan was already very anxious, and being dragged into the far west of Northern Yan had put him in a very bad mood.

Zheshi Bobo continuously provoked battles, mobilizing all the armies of the Three Kingdoms and One Religion, keeping him busy with war almost every day.

This veteran general from the Southern Xia battlefield quickly figured out Sun Yanwan's personality. Although he couldn't mobilize Sun's troops, he could come up with various ways to force the various armies to the places where Sun Yanwan was stationed, leaving him no choice but to join the battle.

After defeating a unit of the Bo Shi National Army, Sun Yanwan couldn't help but sigh, "When will this kind of life end?"

"I am the top scholar of the Great Lang region and a disciple of the Songyang School. How did I end up leading troops into battle?"

Yang Diao'er was directing her troops to clean up the battlefield when she heard his complaint and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to withdraw our troops in another half month."

Sun Yanwan was overjoyed and asked, "How did you know?"

Yang Diao'er said, "Recently, the prisoners of war from Boshi Kingdom have been spreading a rumor: this time, the King of Boshi is personally leading the army on a distant expedition, while the Queen and the High Priest are in charge domestically! The Sun Saintess, Qiu Baisi, took advantage of the High Priest's seclusion to seduce the King's brother, kill his sister-in-law, and has now ascended the throne." "How can the King of Boshi continue the war?"

Sun Yanwan was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Finally, we don't have to fight anymore!"

After pondering for a long time, he immediately wrote a letter and had his subordinates, who were proficient in the language of Bo Shi, copy it hundreds of times. He then sent messengers to deliver the letters everywhere.

Since Bo Shi's country is in turmoil and the army is about to withdraw, these powerful clans must be worried about what will happen if they are pursued during the retreat.
Sun Yanwan provided a complete plan for the withdrawal of troops, allowing these "merchants" from the Bo Shi Kingdom to exchange money for peace.

The ruler of Bo Shi had not yet decided whether or not to withdraw his troops.

He was actually quite confident. Although the Sun Saintess Jules had seduced his brother and caused trouble, the two of them lacked prestige and could only control the area around the capital. Local powerful families and wealthy merchants were unwilling to obey their orders or pay taxes. He held military power, and as long as he returned with his troops, he could quell the rebellion.

But unexpectedly, Sun Yanwan pulled off such a bizarre move that, overnight, the assassin groups from various temples and powerful armies that followed him vanished without a trace, leaving only the King's Army alone on the battlefield.

No one could have predicted this scene beforehand, not even Sun Yanwan, the instigator.

Zhe Shi Bo Bo reacted the fastest, immediately leading his troops to attack. The army of the Northern Yan royal court followed suit, raising their troops and pressing forward with their entire force for the first time.

Sun Yanwan didn't move at all, even though the Northern Yan royal court and Zhe Shibobo repeatedly sent people to urge him to send troops. He remained unmoved, as steady as an old dog.

While the three armies were locked in fierce combat, Sun Yanwan led his troops in a surprise attack on all the camps of the Northern Yan and Southern Xia armies, seizing a large amount of supplies, forcing the surrender of warriors from various tribes whose numbers outnumbered those of the Xuanhuang Army, and even a group of monks from Longzang Temple were taken away by him and fled.

Sun Yanwan's army marched in a long and winding manner, retreating towards Black Dragon City. Along the way, they continuously annexed tribes on the grasslands, conquering cities and seizing territories. Between Northern Yan and Da Lang, they expanded their territory by thousands of miles, with a population of hundreds of thousands, accomplishing the most desirable achievement for time travelers—establishing a regional power.

The war between the Northern Yan and the Southern Xia, and Bo Shi.

It's bound to be a terrible battle, and whoever wins will be severely weakened.

Bo Shi State may not be able to invade Northern Yan for decades, and Northern Yan, after this battle, should also lack the will to wage war.

As for Southern Xia...

It doesn't border the Black Dragon City's forces to begin with, and there's the Northern Yan territory in between, so there's absolutely no need to worry.

The most peculiar thing is that he is nominally the King of Harsha of the Demonic Cult, and this territory is occupied by the Demonic Cult's army, so Da Lang can do nothing about him.

Sun Yanwan believed that she could focus on developing Black Dragon City's power for a long time to come.

However, what made Sun Yanwan happiest was that the war was finally over, and he could finally find an opportunity to eat Yang Diao'er.

On the battlefield, Sun Yanwan remained vigilant at all times and never let her guard down...
