Chapter 257: The Storm Begins_1

In the 519th year of the Great Xia dynasty, on the eighth day of the seventh month.

On this day, the barbarian tribes formally launched an attack on Great Xia. The Marquis of Pingxi led the Xuan Iron Army into a major battle with the barbarians at the border. For three consecutive days, they maintained the upper hand. Although the 600,000-strong Xuan Iron Army suffered casualties, they also drove the barbarians back progressively.

Upon receiving news of the victories in Tiandu, the capital of Great Xia, firecrackers blazed through the city, stirring the spirits and triggering a wave of cheers.

The civilians of Great Xia naturally knew about the barbarian invasion, and with the Marquis of Pingxi winning battles, the people were quite jubilant.

Even the crown prince within the imperial palace felt exceptionally good, preparing various rewards. As soon as the Marquis of Pingxi won a decisive victory, he planned to send these rewards to the border immediately.
