While Nangong Yan was running at high speed, her heart suddenly felt an inexplicable cramp, as if some sharp weapon had pierced her heart.
And then, tears burst out of his eyes involuntarily, and were swept behind him by the strong wind blowing in the face.
Countless sad emotions suddenly surged into my heart like a tide, as if I had lost the most important thing in my life.
Although she didn't want to think about it, Nangong Yan knew in her heart that her father had already gone to another world.
However, she did not stop because of this. Instead, she suppressed the sadness in her heart, turned her grief into strength, and continued to run towards the royal city.
Because she must complete the task that her father gave her before his death. She must take Lin Yun back to the royal city safely and convey the intelligence from the front line back to the royal city.
This is not only related to her and Lin Yun's lives, but also related to the stability of the entire Nanxia country, and the safety of millions of people in Southern Xia. So no matter what happens now, she cannot stop.
Although Nangong Yan suppressed the grief in her heart, the memories accumulated in her mind still emerged like a fountain. She could not help but recall every moment she spent with her father in the past.
…
The battle has lasted for an hour.
Inside and outside the fortress, there were scenes of corpses strewn across the fields and rivers of blood, with countless casualties on both sides.
Under Nangong Mingguo's crazy massacre, the rebels were eventually wiped out, and Nanxia Mingguo was seriously injured as a result.
Although the pass was defended, after this civil strife, the soldiers of Nanxia were severely weakened.
The Beiyan army outside the city also suffered heavy casualties, and its morale continued to decline.
"Hold it to me, the Beiyan army will be defeated soon!" Nangong Di was covered in blood and injured in dozens of places, but he still waved the big sword full of gaps and stood on the city wall and shouted loudly, as if this corpse
The body is not his own.
Under Nangong's call to die for his country, the Nanxia soldiers rose up to resist and persisted tenaciously for another quarter of an hour.
Finally, Beiyan's retreat horn sounded.
This vast army left behind hundreds of thousands of corpses and retreated like a tide.
The Nanxia soldiers who had fought bloody battles for an hour raised their weapons high and shouted excitedly.
"Beiyan retreated, we won!"
"We have won, long live Nanxia! Long live Nanxia!"
When the retreat horn sounded, the Northern Yan army was busy retreating and immediately turned into a mess. Their flags fell to the ground, their helmets and armor were thrown away, and they looked embarrassed.
"Open the door!" Nangong Xieguo waved the sword in his hand, and the iron gate half a meter behind the fortress pass slowly opened outward.
A large number of cavalry troops rushed out of the pass, quickly separated into two teams, and rushed across the grassland like lightning, charging towards the retreating Beiyan army.
This is the cavalry unit that Nangong Xieguo arranged in advance. The number of cavalry in the two groups is not large, only 20,000 in each group.
However, it is never necessary to use too many troops, the key is to use them at the right time.
Nangong Mieguo had a clever plan. He had known for a long time that the Northern Yan army would be defeated, so he wanted to maximize the results of the battle.
Once the Beiyan army retreats, the hundreds of thousands of troops will inevitably be in chaos. At this time, the Nanxia cavalry rushes out again, harvesting at least tens of thousands of heads, and inflicting a heavy blow to Beiyan.
The two cavalry troops quickly caught up with the retreating Beiyan army, thrusting like two sharp knives into the chaotic army, like life harvesters, harvesting life crazily along the way, leaving only a bloody corpse wherever they passed.
.
The morale of Beiyan's army dropped to freezing point. The soldiers were just running away in a hurry, busy avoiding the rain of arrows falling from the towers. They were unable to form resistance at all, and it almost turned into a one-sided massacre.
In just a few minutes, tens of thousands of Beiyan soldiers were captured by these two cavalry units.
The failure of the Beiyan army to attack the city was a major setback. If they could wipe out tens of thousands more troops during their retreat, it would be like rubbing salt into their wounds and making them unable to think of a second attack. .
In this way, the battle was completely over, and the Northern Yan army could only flee back in despair.
Just when all the soldiers in Southern Xia thought they had seen the dawn of victory, something unexpected happened suddenly.
A dull and deep sound of war drums came from the center of the battlefield without warning. The momentum was earth-shattering, and even the earth was shaking. The high-pitched fighting spirit contained in it was completely inconsistent with the retreat of the Beiyan army.
"No, it's a scam! Get back quickly!" Nangong Shiguo's face changed with horror. He wanted to pay for the money and withdraw his troops, but it was already too late.
In just ten seconds, the battlefield ahead underwent astonishing changes. All the messy Beiyan banners suddenly sank.
And in the center of Beiyan's army, a large black flag suddenly erected. It was like an extremely dangerous reef emerging from the rolling ocean.
Nangong's face turned pale instantly when he died for his country. He didn't expect that the Beiyan army would still hold back under such circumstances.
In the mighty offensive just now, they didn't even use their full strength, and they even pretended to retreat on purpose.
"Marshal of the Warring States Period! Marshal of the Warring States Period!"
The Beiyan army shouted in unison, and the faces of every Beiyan soldier were full of enthusiasm and admiration, as if they were surrounding their leader on the stage.
Like a turbulent undercurrent, the chaotic defeated troops separated to both sides, and a unique troop emerged from the chaotic army.
From the beginning of this battle to the present, this army has not moved in place and has been hidden in the center of the Beiyan army.
The total number of this army is only one hundred thousand, all uniformly wearing bronze armor, uniformly holding fine iron battle spears, uniformly carrying fine iron square shields, and uniformly riding swift leopards.
Among them, the leading general is the most eye-catching. He is wearing dark gold scale armor, holding a thunder halberd, and his face is covered with ferocious scars.
There is a meteor dart totem branded on his forehead, and the number "11" is engraved below the totem. A pair of golden eyes exudes a terrifying murderous aura, like the most bloodthirsty and brutal ferocious beast.
The most chilling thing is that the golden horse under his crotch, which looks like it is made of gold, is actually a golden bull!
The Golden Bull is a mid-level fourth-level monster, and its strength is comparable to that of a strong human being at the fourth-level Martial King Realm. Being able to tame such a monster into a mount is enough to imagine how terrifying this general's strength is.
"Marshal of the Warring States Period!"
"Marshal of the Warring States Period!"
"Marshal of the Warring States Period..."
The soldiers of Beiyan shouted even more enthusiastically. This title seemed to be the name of the God of Death, which made all the soldiers of Southern Xia feel strongly uneasy.
Marshal of the Warring States Period was the highest military rank in the Northern Yan army and was equivalent to the Marshal of the Southern Xia Dynasty.
The last marshal of Bei Yan during the Warring States Period was Xue Rengui's uncle, Xue Zhiqian. At the peak of the fifth-level Martial King, he was the strongest man in Bei Yan.
However, he still lost to the Zhenguo King and was killed by the Zhenguo army in a great battle. From then on, Beiyan no longer had a Warring States Marshal.
It was precisely because of the fall of the Warring States Marshal that Bei Yan never dared to invade Nan Xia rashly.
But today, Beiyan's new Warring States Marshal appeared on the battlefield without any warning, which caught all the soldiers of Southern Xia off guard.
