"Wasn't it said that every place we encountered along the way was covered in gold and silver?"

"I didn't see gold and silver everywhere, but I did see mud houses."

"The Northern Liang is not wealthy; it's not much better off than our Kushan."

"That's right, we were utterly disappointed along the way."

King Baahubali was utterly disappointed.

"Make everyone march faster and stop dawdling."

"We must reach the capital of Beiliang within five days."

"Send the order: once they arrive in the capital, I will allow them to burn, kill, and loot within the city for ten days."

The order was quickly relayed.

Everyone was incredibly excited when they heard this.

For these Kushan soldiers, being able to raid the capital was definitely an exciting thing.

"Charge into the capital, kill and rob."

"Rob money, rob women, rob territory."

"We're going to show those people in Beiliang what we're capable of."

"To storm the capital of Northern Liang is merely an appetizer."

"When we reach the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, that will be truly formidable. The Great Xia Dynasty is a veritable land of elites."

Just as King Bahubali had predicted.

After the order to massacre the city was given, the Kushan soldiers, who had been so lax just moments before, sprang into action.

This wild creature galloped wildly, heading straight for the capital of Northern Liang.

Every move the enemy made was monitored by the scout cavalry at all times.

The city walls of the Northern Liang capital.

Jiang Tian stood there with the others.

The Northern Liang reconnaissance cavalry kept charging towards Jiang Tian.

"My lord, the Kushan army is still four days away from here."

"The Kushan army has clearly increased its marching speed."

"The Kushan army of 2 million is heading straight for our capital, and the marching speed of the Western Xia and the Three Kingdoms has slowed down considerably."

Jiang Tian nodded after hearing this.

"Ling Yunzhi, take your men to meet the commanders of the Western Xia, Tubo, and Dali kingdoms."

"Tell them that this time I intend to annihilate their entire army of 2 million."

"We hope they will work closely with us."

"Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to deal with them."

"promise……"

Ling Yunzhi quickly ran down from the city wall.

Li Yuanba and Xiang Yu walked up to Jiang Tian.

"My lord, we want to take the initiative."

Jiang Tian flatly rejected their request: "I told you long ago that I want to annihilate the enemy. We will not launch an attack until they come to the city."

"Two million troops, you can slaughter them at will."

"Li Yuanba, Xiang Yu, Dian Wei, and Yi Zhang Hong didn't come with you. I think you can select some capable people and train them to load shells and gunpowder for your Tsar Cannons."

"yes……"

Xiang Yu looked at the dozen or so trucks and asked, "My lord, after the battle begins, can we ride in one of those trucks and charge into battle?"

"No way," Jiang Tian replied immediately.

This is a truck, not a tank.

That Tsar Cannon weighed 18 tons.

These trucks could hardly withstand the 18-ton Tsar Cannon.

If this Tsar Cannon were firing.

That truck was bound to be overturned.

"You two both own BMWs that can travel thousands of miles a day, and you still want my truck?"

Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba took a few steps back.

They went to select personnel and train them on how to load ammunition.

"Gentlemen, our lord said that each of our bullets is made of 200 jin of iron nails and steel balls."

"Three barrels of gunpowder were loaded at once, along with 200 jin of steel balls."

"The Tsar Cannon is right there. Everyone, give it a try."

"If I choose you, you will become my personal bodyguard from now on."

Li Yuanba nodded: "Me too. Following me, Li Yuanba, it's impossible not to make military achievements."

These 2,000 soldiers were all eager to get started.

They knew the abilities of Li Yuanba and Xiang Yu on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba were like tigers pouncing on sheep, moving through uninhabited areas with ease.

The two of them killed more than 10,000 enemies in each battle.

Anyone who follows either of them will undoubtedly receive military merit.

Even if they had 1,000 enemy soldiers, they could still earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from this battle.

Seeing everyone rubbing their hands together in anticipation.

Li Yuanba nodded to all of them.

...

It was late at night.

The Kushan army set up camp.

These free-spirited Kushan soldiers had no tents; they simply sat on the ground.

In the central tent of King Bahubali, amidst the beautiful women, there was still singing and dancing.

The melodious dance music travels far and wide.

Right now.

The military tent of the Tibetan national preceptor.

The Tibetan prince, the Western Xia general, and the Dali prince all gathered together.

"Gentlemen, come and drink and eat meat," the Tibetan prince said with a smile, holding a wine bowl.

"Girls, sing and dance!" The Tibetan prince looked at King Bahubali's camp in the distance. "We can't let them outdo us."

Li Yuanhao: "We're getting closer and closer to the capital of Beiliang, but we haven't managed to rob anything along the way."

"Gentlemen, has King Bahubali come to you yet to demand provisions?"

Duan Yanqing took a sip of wine and slammed the wine bowl heavily on the table: "King Bahubali not only came to us to urge us for military rations, but also asked me to contribute more than 1,000 Dali girls to him."

I only brought a dozen or so girls with me to the army for my own enjoyment; where would I get so many girls for him?

Duan Yanqing was not only annoyed by this, but also by the fact that Bahubali's men completely disregarded him.

The dozen or so girls that Duan Yanqing brought were mostly his most beloved dancers, and four of them were his concubines.

As a result, when Bahubali's men saw Duan Yanqing's dancers, they insisted that the girls go with them.

Duan Yanqing was heartbroken.

Yet they dared not get too angry with the other party.

Duan Yanqing pleaded and begged, and only after giving the other party some money did the matter settle.

The thought of this made Duan Yanqing lose his appetite.

"Gentlemen," the Tibetan prince said, holding a wine bowl, "let's drink and be merry today, and worry about tomorrow later. With a great battle imminent, we must not lose our composure."

“That’s right,” Li Yuanhao also picked up his wine bowl, “Since we’ve sent troops, we have to accept it.”

They can poop and pee on our heads, that's their ability.

If we were so capable, we'd climb on their heads and shit and piss there too.

Just then, the National Preceptor Tubo walked in.

"Girls, go down first." The Tibetan king waved to the dancers.

“Grand Preceptor,” the Tibetan prince spread his hands, “Brothers, we’re feeling quite troubled right now and are hoping these girls can cheer us up. Why are you sending them away?”

The Tibetan National Preceptor said, "It's useless to relieve your boredom temporarily. These girls dancing here will only make you forget your troubles for a while. What will happen after you finish drinking tonight?"
