Battle for Northern Frontier: The game begins with the grassland woman buying him.

The battlefield instantly became intense, with both sides charging forward.

Su Zhan's men fought bravely and fearlessly, and the enemy knew they had reached a critical juncture and could no longer back down.

Whether we survive today depends on whether we can break through.

The canyon is right here. Once you rush in, you'll be unstoppable.

If we are left behind, death will be the simplest outcome.

Therefore, no one will back down, no one will be afraid.

Even Agudamu's face contorted with rage; he knew he had now completely fallen into the abyss.

He couldn't understand why this was happening. He had brought tens of thousands of troops to attack Stone City today, to crush this thorn in his side that had always been there for him.

If this nail were removed, the conquest of the grasslands would begin beneath his feet, and he would become the king of the entire grasslands in the next moment.

After conquering the entire grassland, he also wanted to march south.

But now all my dreams have been shattered by what I see before me.

He could only have a chance of survival if he rushed into the canyon, and only by rushing out could he continue his dream.

He didn't even dare to imagine the consequences if he couldn't get out.

So he gritted his teeth, brandished his golden knife, and shouted at the people around him, "Charge! Charge!"

Everyone spurred their horses and galloped forward to meet the two hundred men led by Su Zhan.

The two hundred men had already drawn their swords, and their momentum reached its peak.

With a loud crash, the warhorses collided violently, and the riders, in their dying moments, lunged at the enemy, attempting to exchange their lives for his.

The scene was absolutely terrifying. Horses from both sides kept falling, and the soldiers brandished their swords, showing no fear of what lay before them. They only wanted to leave the enemy behind, or rather, to be hacked to death by the enemy.

Everyone knew they had reached a critical juncture, and everyone knew that what followed would determine their life or death.

They had no option but to retreat, hoping only that their scimitars could protect their lives and spare them from such torment.

But will things really turn out as they wish? They don't know, they only hope that God will bless them, and that the Eternal Heaven will open its eyes.

But now it's no use begging God; all I can do is beg myself.

Everyone knew that they were now completely in a precarious situation.

Su Zhan led dozens of men straight ahead, without lingering in battle, heading directly for Agudamu.

He knew that the scene before him was meaningless; only by rushing forward and killing Agudamu would the soldiers in front of him completely submit.

To catch the thief, you must first catch the king; he immediately led his soldiers and charged forward.

The scene on the field became increasingly intense, with warhorses constantly falling, soldiers constantly dying, and people constantly struggling to get up and drawing their swords at the enemies in front of them, determined to take someone down with them even before they died.

Everyone knew their chances were running out, so everyone was fighting desperately, hoping to take down an enemy and save their comrades.

Blood was flowing like a river on the field, and corpses were piled up like mountains. Everyone was fighting fiercely.

They knew that everything was about to come to an end, and it was a matter of who could fight to the last man.

Su Zhan kept swinging his knife, killing everyone who stood in his way. The rest would be left to others, but his gaze was fixed on only one thing: Agudamu.

Agudamu had also seen Su Zhan by now, and his eyes blazed with boundless fury. He was like a wounded wolf, his sharp edge fully exposed.

Because he knew that all of this was caused by the enemies in front of him, and that Su Zhan, as the leader, had committed endless sins.

It was Su Zhan who caused the current situation, so he had to kill Su Zhan in order to escape with his men.

But all of this was extremely difficult. He didn't know what to do, but he knew he could only rely on the scimitar in his hand.

The scene suddenly became even more intense, with both sides charging forward, their target being the enemy leader.

They knew time was running out, and everyone was rushing forward, doing their best to cut down everything in their way.

Su Zhan only had eyes for Agudamu; everything else in front of him was useless. He only wanted to kill this enemy.

At this moment, he was only a dozen meters away from Agudamu. In between these dozen meters were countless grassland people who were fearless and tried to protect their master with their own bodies.

Now, we no longer care about high-ranking officials and generous salaries; it's all about everyone's honor and life.

At least that's how it is for ordinary people. Whether someone can value honor more than life itself is a matter of personal opinion.

Each of them charged forward, hacking down every enemy that stood in their way.

But there were too many enemies; they couldn't kill them all, nor could they defeat them.

Everyone felt that their swords and blood had been drained, their will was becoming increasingly blurred, and their lives had reached their peak.

Then, with a loud clang, Su Zhan slashed his broadsword fiercely forward, at Agudamu.

Agudamu's golden knife slashed fiercely at Su Zhan.

After the loud bang, Agudamu's scimitar was brutally destroyed.

His face showed surprise, because he hadn't expected Su Zhan to be so strong.

The man in front of him was just an ordinary middle-aged man, so why did he possess such immense power? He didn't have time to think about it, because Su Zhan immediately swung his sword at him.

Agudamu immediately bent down and jumped off his horse, briefly dodging the blow. However, his horse was then brutally slashed to the ground by Su Zhan, with a huge gash on its head bleeding profusely.

The horse finally completed its task and collapsed heavily to the ground.

Su Zhan immediately turned his horse around and charged fiercely towards Agudamu.

After dismounting, Agudamu immediately rolled over and struggled to his feet.

He wanted to borrow another horse to escape, but when he turned around, he saw that Su Zhan's horse had already turned around and was galloping towards him.

He felt his heart pounding at its peak, and a feeling of being suppressed by the cavalry appeared in his mind.

There was a time when he could kill those people from the Central Plains while sitting on his horse, just as easily as he was now, as simple as slaughtering pigs and dogs.

But who could have imagined that one day the situation would turn around, and he would be targeted by the people of the Central Plains like a pig or a dog.

At this moment, he was as vulnerable as a gazelle on the grassland, while his opponent was the wolf on the grassland.

He panicked for a moment, and before he knew it, Su Zhan was already right in front of him.

Then, Su Zhan slashed fiercely, and with a crack, Agudamu's body was instantly cut in two, blood spurting far away, and his head was completely separated.

The light in his eyes faded, and he collapsed to the ground.

After killing Agudamu, Su Zhan immediately shouted to everyone present, "Agudamu is dead! Everyone surrender on the spot, or be killed without mercy!"

All the soldiers turned around abruptly, their eyes filled with terror.

Because they saw that Agudamu's body was still standing in the same place, but it had been split in two.

Blood stained the bright red armor, and the scimitar was also fiercely knocked away by Su Zhan.

Their king, and everything they once protected, is now utterly dead.

All their fighting spirit vanished in that instant. Everyone gave up resistance, threw down their scimitars, and the killing intent in their eyes disappeared instantly.

Some people knelt on the ground, dejected and lost. Everything they had fought for was gone, and they had become homeless dogs.

Su Zhan's soldiers cheered because they had won and killed Agudamu.

They never dared to even dream of doing this before, but now they've actually done it.

With just a small number of soldiers, they managed to stop Agudamu and keep them there.

Today's great battle is over. The new king of the grasslands has been killed, and the old king has vanished. Chaos will begin on the grasslands, and everything will be completely rewritten.

As a newly emerging force on the grasslands, they will completely wipe it all out.

Su Zhan then ordered everyone to capture all the captured steppe people, clean up the battlefield, and take Agudamu's body directly back to Stone City.

When they stood on the outer city wall of Stone City, the scene they saw was extremely tragic, with smoke and corpses everywhere.

The corpses of the grassland people had been piled up into a small mountain, while the corpses of the Central Plains people had been properly collected.

These are all heroes who gave their lives for Stone City; each and every one of them is brave and worthy of remembrance.

Bai Zhanqiu will send people to handle their aftermath.

Although we have won, the price we paid was extremely high.

Although the interior of Stone City was not attacked, its manpower suffered a severe blow.

They never expected that Agudamu would be their first target, nor did they expect to be able to defeat him.

All of this unfolded in alternation between joy and sorrow, and everyone knew that the road ahead would be even more difficult, as the battles on the grasslands would be reignited.

Su Zhan led his men back to Stone City.

Bai Zhanqiu and a group of managers were in the main hall, all of them covered in blood, some of their own and some of the people from the grasslands.

Bai Zhanqiu had been slashed on the arm, blood seeping through the bandage, yet he remained extremely excited, though his eyes were filled with sorrow. This battle had been too rushed, making it impossible to give it one's all.

If we give them another chance and some more time, they might be able to do even better.

But now that a Pyrrhic victory is a done deal, there's no need to overthink it.

When Su Zhan sat back down, Orpo had already given a report on the battle.

Their casualty rate was as high as 50 percent, and that only includes those who died; the number of the wounded was even higher, reaching 70 percent, which shows how brutal the war was.

Stone City has suffered a major blow this time, and now is not the time to think about that; they have more to do.

Although Agudamu was killed, the battle on the grasslands had only just begun.

The people of the nearby grasslands will seize this opportunity to rise up, which is a very good opportunity for the entire grassland population.

After all, there are plenty of people who are disloyal in ordinary times, and now that the opportunity is right in front of them, they can't possibly not take advantage of it.

Su Zhan and other Central Plains people who had been settled on the grasslands would also rise up at this time and take the opportunity to gradually devour the entire grasslands.

Those enslaved people from the Central Plains would also fight alongside them.

The situation has become more unpredictable and tense, and it's unclear how it will ultimately turn out.

The empire only provided some firearms; the imperial army never considered entering the grasslands to fight, as such a thing was far too dangerous.

So they have been exploiting the Han Chinese on the grasslands, promising them high-ranking positions and promising futures, inducing them to launch attacks and tear the grasslands apart. Now that they have achieved their goal, will the empire deliver on its promises?

No one knew the truth.

All they knew was that they were about to embark on a new campaign.

Before that, Stone City needs to recuperate and rebuild.

Hopefully, other people from the Central Plains can seize this opportunity to counterattack the grassland people.

At that time, it will not only expand the territory of the Central Plains people, but also relieve some of the pressure on Stone City.

Whether they were truly aware of this was something Su Zhan and his team didn't know; they needed to communicate with the other camps.

What Stone City faces now is a period of recuperation and rebuilding. After listening to the report, Su Zhan immediately looked at Bai Zhanqiu.

Bai Zhanqiu nodded to him, then gave the order: everyone should begin reinforcing Stone City and then expand its influence. Following this, everyone rested and recuperated, focusing on healing their injuries.

Once Stone City regained its strength, they began to launch attacks against the powerful steppe people surrounding it. This was something that could not be stopped, again and again.

Only by defeating these despicable steppe people can everyone truly find peace.

Therefore, these things cannot stop. Even though Stone City is now riddled with holes, everyone knows that the burden on their shoulders has not disappeared.

So the entire Stone City began to recuperate, and everyone got busy.

Those who lost their families were deeply saddened, and those who received rewards were not much happy either. A profound sense of grief permeated the Stone City, only to be overshadowed by their burning desire for revenge.

Their eyes frequently drifted to the grasslands, the root of their current predicament. The people of the Central Plains had always been the inferior, the oppressed on the grasslands, never having stood up for themselves.

Now that they had the opportunity to stand up, they were going to launch an attack on the steppe people and let them know the suffering they, the people of the Central Plains, had endured.

Although this is a cycle of revenge that will never end, it is not gentlemanly to leave a grudge unavenged. So now everyone is ready. They need to rest and recuperate, train their bodies, strengthen their defenses, and work hard to improve all their skills, waiting for the day when the first, second, and third leaders will lead them to the depths of the grasslands, pinning the grassland people to the ground and bleeding them dry one by one. That day is not far off.

News soon spread from other tribes on the grasslands that tribes of grassland people were being overthrown by rebellious slaves and Han people who had been oppressed for a long time. Fires were spreading everywhere and had become raging infernos.

Everything will be consumed by this great fire. This is a battle that will completely destroy the entire grassland. Unlike the past when imperial armies would penetrate deep into the grassland, fight a battle, and then return to the capital after the New Year, and the grassland people would grow back in spring, this is a complete eradication.
