Several hundred miles outside the east gate of Jinnan City, the smoke of gunpowder mixed with the shouts and killing cries of soldiers lasted all night.
The blood flowed like rivers, and corpses lay everywhere.
Qin Army General Tang Tongyu sat on his horse with a long spear in hand, with only over a hundred cavalry left by his side.
In the fierce battle with the Eastern Mansion Army under Prince Ning, the ability to hold out for such a long ti was entirely thanks to the King Yu of Jinchi State, Dongfang Yinghai, sending one hundred thousand Jinchi Army for assistance.
However, the soldiers under King Yu only delayed the defeat, after all, how could the combat power of this prince's soldiers compare to the elite Qin Army and the Eastern Mansion Army?
Thus, after a desperate fight, only this few were left.
Tang Tongyu looked up at the torrential rain, but his expression was relaxed.
It was enough.
After all, hindering the advance of the Eastern Mansion Army, it's just unclear whether the deputy general rescued Lord Qin.
If he was rescued, then even if these hundreds of thousands of troops were all buried here, it would be worth it.
Taking a deep breath, Tang Tongyu used all his strength to grip the spear in his trembling hand, forcibly swallowing a pill to elevate his power to the Martial Saint realm, though his body was already at its limit.
"General, let's charge one more ti."
A thousand-household officer beside him whispered, "Even if there are only so few of us, let the world see that the Qin Army is stronger than the Eastern Mansion Army!"
Tang Tongyu nodded, about to give the final order when suddenly the ground began to tremble.
Tang Tongyu's heart trembled, he quickly turned to look toward the south, his heart instantly lifted.
Under the gloomy curtain of rain, the charging cavalry was like the sharpest spear, thrusting into the flank of the Eastern Mansion Army.
The wind was howling, the 'Qin' Standard Banner flapped violently, at the forefront, a white horse galloped, and Dongfang Xinglan stood on the horseback with a long spear in hand, a crimson cape billowing in the fierce wind.
Dongfang Xinglan was both the King Qin and the commander-in-chief of the Qin Army.
She was the sharpest spearhead of this Qin Army, leading the first attack into the flank of the Eastern Mansion Army.
With King Qin taking the lead, the Qin Army followed closely, charging into the enemy lines with fierce roars. The standard bearer holding the 'Qin' flag roared ferociously, moving back and forth within the ranks of the Eastern Mansion Army, boosting the morale of the Qin Army.
"General, the King Qin, Lord Qin has arrived!"
The thousand-household officer shouted excitedly, then without waiting for Tang Tongyu's order, he led a charge forward.
If they don't show their valor in front of Lord Qin now, when will they?
Tang Tongyu watched as the cavalry at his side charged out one by one, his tense body completely relaxed.
Victory!
Eight hundred miles west of Jinnan City, within a camp.
King Yu Dongfang Yinghai abruptly stood up: "The King Qin is back? Safe and sound?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, the Eastern Mansion Army is in retreat."
"Quickly, swiftly!" Dongfang Yinghai hurriedly rushed outside the tent: "Break camp imdiately, reinforce the King Qin!"
Watching the army begin to march, Dongfang Yinghai's expression turned troubled, pondering how he should apologize to Dongfang Xinglan later?
Though he dispatched one hundred thousand troops, he ultimately preserved more of his strength, in case the King Qin was killed and he had no ans to protect himself...
"Returning Poison, Observatory, more than two hundred thousand Yunshan Army...? To still survive from that, it really must be destiny at work…"
Dongfang Yinghai muttered as he slowly pulled the commander's seal from his sleeve. Wouldn't his niece give him so leniency with this?
······
Qin Army Camp.
"Reporting to Your Highness, the Yunshan Army and Eastern Mansion Army have withdrawn to Jinnan City, our forces have completed the encirclent and can attack the city at any ti."
Wearing a raincoat, Dongfang Xinglan stood calmly in the rain and said unhurriedly: "First clean the battlefield, and purge the remnants of Yunshan State, centered on Jinnan City."
Her expression was cold: "Before we settle in Jinnan City, I do not wish to see any rebellion from Yunshan State, understood?"
"Understood, Your Highness."
Dongfang Xinglan looked towards Jinnan City in silence; though there was no in-depth communication with Lu Jin'an, he was certainly in Jinnan City now.
What awaited her would be a Jinnan City where the court's remnants had been purged.
Thinking of this, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Dongfang Xinglan's mouth. She turned and, accompanied by her maid Ming Lan and female deputy general, entered a nearby tent.
"I pay respects to Lord Qin."
Lying on the bed, Tang Tongyu hurriedly tried to get up, but the deputy general quickly stepped forward to press him back down onto the bed.
"General Tang, thank you for your hard work." Dongfang Xinglan softened her voice: "In this battle, General Tang has the greatest rit."
"Your Highness overpraises , we only did what we should have done…"
Dongfang Xinglan shook her head and continued: "The compensation for the fallen soldiers will be handed over to you, and don't worry about your injuries, I have a thod."
Tang Tongyu's eyes lit up, was there really a way to remove the aftereffects of forcibly elevating his realm?
His first thought was of the auspicious White Fox, but little did he know that an image of Lu Jin'an flashed through Dongfang Xinglan's mind.
"Lord Qin, once I recover, I am willing to charge into battle for Your Highness once more!"
Dongfang Xinglan nodded gently, about to say sothing when hurried footsteps echoed outside: "Urgent report from the southwest, Your Highness!"
"General Tang, take a rest." Dongfang Xinglan glanced unhurriedly at the deputy general: "Make sure you take care of your husband in the coming days."
With that, she turned and walked out of the tent, receiving the letter from the southwest.
"Prince Ning…"
Dongfang Xinglan sneered, having wondered why this uncle had been so quiet, turns out he was heading for the southwest.
Moreover, by looking at the marching route, he was heading directly to the city she had built for the Southwest Royal Family.
Although Prince Ning's personal campaign was unexpected, everything else was within the plan.
