The Return of the Demon

Ning Chen led the Ning'an Army and followed the Xiliang Army at a leisurely pace.

Along the way, corpses were everywhere.

Due to the shortage of food and the most important water, the Xiliang Army had internal strife and kept killing each other.

When the remaining Xiliang Army fled to Linxuan City, the 80,000 Xiliang Army had less than 40,000.

Xiliang dispatched 150,000 troops this time.

Weng Jin led the remnants of the defeated army to the foot of Linxuan City.

At this time, there were only a few thousand defenders in Linxuan City.

"Open the city gate quickly!"

Weng Jin shouted, his lips were cracked and his voice was hoarse.

These days, he survived by drinking horse blood and horse urine.

It was good to be able to drink horse urine. Most people didn't even have horse urine... Let alone human urine. How could there be urine after not drinking a drop of water for several days?

If there was, a group of people would die in the fight for that mouthful of urine.

The defenders of Linxuan City hurriedly opened the city gate to welcome Weng Jin into the city.

But at this moment, the horses' hooves clanged and the ground shook.

The Ning'an Army launched an attack.

The Xiliang army was in panic and chaos... They swarmed towards the city gate, all wanting to escape into the city.

But the city gate was so small that people crowded and trampled on each other, and countless people were killed and injured.

The current defender of Linxuan City is Che Mingzhe's deputy general, named Tang Yu.

Seeing the Ning'an Army sweeping in like a mad dragon, especially the two words Ning'an on the battle flag, made his blood run cold.

When Ning Chen forced Xiliang to hand over the Immaculate Ice Lotus, he captured Linxuan City.

At that time, Tang Yu was Che Mingzhe's deputy general and witnessed the horror of the Ning'an Army with his own eyes.

"Close the city gate quickly, close the city gate quickly..."

Tang Yu screamed heartbreakingly.

But at this time, it was impossible to close the city gate.

The remnants of Xiliang rushed into the city like crazy, blocking the city gate hole, and the city gate could not be closed at all.

Looking at the Ning'an Army approaching, Tang Yu's face was pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

150,000 Xiliang troops went, and now only 40,000 remnants returned. With the thousands of defenders in the city, it was impossible to stop the Ning'an Army.

Tang Yu gritted his teeth, ran down the city wall, and fled directly with his confidants.

He wanted to rush back to the capital first and put all the responsibility on Weng Jin and others.

If Weng Jin returned to the capital first, then he would have to bear all the responsibility.

The horses' hooves rang and rolled up dust.

The Ning'an Army rushed to the city gate.

At this time, half of the Xiliang Army was blocked outside the city and could not enter.

"The prince has ordered that there will be no mercy for killing... Ning'an Army, follow me to kill!"

Yuan Long roared.

Feng Qizhen, Yue Congyun, and all the Ning'an Army began to kill.

For a time, screams resounded through the sky.

The Xiliang army in its prime was no match for the Ning'an army, not to mention now, they were almost exhausted due to lack of water and food for a long time, and were completely lambs to be slaughtered.

The Ning'an army was just cutting melons and vegetables.

In less than a quarter of an hour, blood flowed like a river and corpses piled up like a mountain in front of Linxuan City.

Ning Chen's order was to kill everyone and animals in the city and not to stop until sunset.

Meaning... before the sun sets, no matter whether it is Xiliang soldiers, civilians, or livestock, all will be killed, and the killing will not stop until the sun sets.

Last time he attacked Linxuan City, he did not hurt the Xiliang people, but only robbed supplies.

But the 150,000 Xiliang troops burned, killed, and looted, almost bloodbathed Xiguan City, and reduced the entire city to ruins.

Ning Chen is not a saint.

This time, he wants to completely subdue Xiliang and will never stop until he enters the capital of Xiliang!

He wants the king of Xiliang to only dare to call himself a king, not an emperor.

Xiliang was just the first one.

He wanted Emperor Xuan to become the common ruler of the world... To be more precise, he wanted himself to become the common ruler of the world.

Ning'an's army fought for an hour in front of Linxuan City... before they entered the city.

The Xiliang army that fled into Linxuan City was less than 20,000 people.

These people had been scared out of their wits.

After entering the city, they didn't care about who was their own people and started to rob food frantically.

After grabbing food and water, they didn't dare to stay and fled all the way to the west gate.

Ning'an's army rushed into the city, but the city was already a river of blood.

The remnants of Xiliang had lost their humanity and killed many Xiliang people for food and water.

Then, they left the people and fled.

Ning Chen entered the city, climbed to the top of the city, and looked coldly at Linxuan City, where the sound of killing shook the sky.

The battle flags of Ning'an's army and Daxuan were planted on the top of Linxuan City.

Two hours later, the sun set.

The killing gradually stopped.

The entire Linxuan City has become a living hell.

Qi Yuanzhong and Shi Xiuwei led their troops to rush up.

Ning Chen asked the Ning'an Army to rest, while Qi Yuanzhong and Shi Xiuwei led people to clean up the battlefield.

The bodies were transported out in carts, and the mass graves outside the city were filled one after another.

Ning Chen temporarily lived in the city lord's mansion.

It was not until dawn that the bodies in the city were dealt with.

Ning Chen went to bed early last night!

As the commander of an army, he only needs to control the overall situation.

In the morning, after getting up and having breakfast, he met Qi Yuanzhong and others.

"Yuan Long, gather the Ning'an Army and prepare to set off!"

"Lei An, prepare food and grass!"

"I obey your order!"

The two took the order and left.

Ning Chen wrote a memorial and sent someone to send it back to the capital at full speed.

At the same time, he asked Shi Xiuwei to lead 10,000 troops to stay in the city to capture able-bodied men.

From 18 years old to 45 years old, all were captured.

These able-bodied men will then be escorted to the border between Daxuan and Wuguo...all of them will be used as laborers to build Xuanwu City.

The Ning'an Army did not participate in cleaning up the battlefield last night. They have recovered to their peak condition after a night of rest.

As usual, Ning Chen led the Ning'an Army first.

Qi Yuanzhong led the remaining 70,000 soldiers and horses to follow closely and try their best to catch up.

This time, Ning Chen did not delay any more.

He led the Ning'an Army and hurried all the way.

Because Weng Jin's army robbed a wave after entering Linxuan City, now there are sufficient food and water sources.

Moreover, they only have less than 20,000 troops left, and the marching speed is very fast.

But most of the more than 10,000 remnants led by Weng Jin are infantry, and there are very few cavalry.

And the horses ridden by the Ning'an Army are all carefully selected BMW horses.

The next afternoon, Ning Chen caught up with Weng Jin's troops.

The less than 20,000 soldiers and horses of Xiliang have long been frightened, and the army is broken and morale is completely gone.

Seeing the Ning'an army chasing them, they were so scared that they ran away madly, not to mention fighting.

Ning Chen didn't waste any words and ordered the Ning'an army to charge.

Two hours later, only Weng Jin escaped with thousands of cavalry.

The remaining infantry were all killed, and the corpses were scattered all over the ground.

Ning Chen asked people to deal with all the corpses.

The weather is hot now, which is easy to breed epidemics... If the army led by Qi Yuanzhong behind is infected with the plague, it will be completely over.

After dealing with the corpses, Ning Chen asked the soldiers to rest on the spot and recover their spirits.

After resting for two hours, Ning Chen led the army to chase again.

Although both sides were cavalry, the horses of the Xiliang soldiers were no match for the Ning'an army's BMW horses. In the evening of the next day, they were caught up again.
