Shu He put away his bow and flew back to the city with Nanqi's help.

At this time, all the Northern Di people who had invaded the city were killed. Except for the archery masters who shot arrows outside the city, the rest of the soldiers finally got a breathing space.

Atop the blazing city walls, half the sky of Beisha City was dyed red by the flames. In the intervals between the flames, Shu He stood atop the wall. She saw a figure, a general on horseback, wearing black and gold armor.

She could feel the man looking at her with a very aggressive gaze.

Is he the Northern Di commander, Shen Chuan?

Standing on the city wall, her white dress fluttered freely in the wind and fire, and her slender yet powerful body shone with a faint moonlight in the moonlight.

The defeated Beidi army retreated in panic and inadvertently saw the figure of the woman on the city wall. At that moment, they seemed to see a goddess coming down from the moon to save Beisha City.

Although no one dared to speak of it, this scene was deeply engraved in their bones and blood. Even after decades, when they were old and frail, they still could not forget the shocking scene they witnessed.

"Report!!"

At this moment, a man from Shen Chuan's horse came galloping over, "Report to the Marshal, a large number of troops are approaching from the east and west!"

"The Chengfeng Army and the Defense Army are back!" Xu Zining's face changed drastically, and he quickly walked up to Shen Chuan, "Withdraw the troops. We can't take Beisha City today!"

If we delay any further, there will only be more casualties!

A chill filled the air around Shen Chuan. "Retreat? If you really do, how can I continue to serve as the Grand Marshal?"

Xu Zining's face was as gloomy as water, but he didn't know how to start.

"Which side is the Chengfeng Army?" Shen Chuan asked the person who came.

"Judging from the uniform, it's the east side," the man responded.

Shen Chuan took one last look at the woman on the city wall. A cold gleam flashed in his eyes. He turned his horse eastward and said, "All troops, advance eastward and encircle and suppress the Chengfeng Army!"

After hearing this, Xu Zining could only sigh with an anxious look on his face. He was going to give it a try!

When the remaining defenders on the city wall saw the Northern Di army retreat, they all stood up, with expressions of disbelief and shock appearing on their blood-stained faces.

Did they repel the enemy?

"The enemy has retreated!"

"We've repelled the enemy!"

Suddenly, someone on the quiet city wall shouted excitedly, and the trembling voice spread in all directions. Immediately afterwards, countless excited voices rang out on the city wall.

There were cries, laughter, roars of those who had survived the catastrophe, and voices announcing their deaths to distant relatives. It was as if the night wind blowing from the horizon could carry their excitement to their distant relatives.

Countless cheers were heard in the city.

Shu He turned around and found that countless people had appeared under the city wall. They were holding wooden sticks, hoes, shovels, iron pots, and many other utensils, as well as pottery pots needed by the city guards. Some people even brought their own pottery bowls and teacups for eating...

At this moment, Shu He finally understood what Nan Qi meant by "there's more to come".

She couldn't help laughing, but her heart was filled with bitterness.

If this city is really breached tonight, will these people use the "weapons" in their hands to fight the Northern Di people to the death?

In fact, there is no need to think too much, the answer is yes!

No matter who you are, you will not tolerate your homeland being invaded by foreigners!

At this moment, Shu He suddenly felt that many people were looking at her. She looked around and saw those remaining soldiers.

They were looking at him with extremely complex eyes. In those eyes, there was gratitude, doubt, trust, dependence, and most of all, admiration...

At this moment, even the people below the city cast their gazes over, their eyes filled with tears, as if they had countless words to say to her...

Shu He's heart was pounding, but his eyes unconsciously fell on the man in white, sitting in a wheelchair, half of his body red from the flames.

He was also looking at her, but she couldn't see the emotions in his eyes.

Nangong Xin stood in the distance, with some blood on his face, but his eyes, like everyone else's, were fixed on the woman, as if she was the only one left in the world.

He still remembered how she flew out of the wall and drew her bow to shoot arrows; he also remembered how she stood in the moonlight with her dress fluttering in the wind; he didn't know when, but her figure was firmly engraved in his heart.

The army of Beisha City retreated, but more than ten miles east of the city, Shen Chuan's 50,000-strong army had already met Zhang Zhiyi's 20,000-strong garrison, and a fierce battle broke out in an instant.

Zhang Zhiyi's army was badly beaten due to the disparity in strength. Fortunately, Beiji led the real Chengfeng Army to surround the Beidi army from behind, attacking from both sides, which relieved Zhang Zhiyi's pressure.

However, even with the participation of the Chengfeng Army, the outlook for this war is still not optimistic.

Shen Chuan seemed to be crazy, not caring about the lives of the Beidi army at all. He ordered his troops to fight to the death and to wipe out all those wearing Chengfeng Army uniforms!

The battle lasted until dawn, resulting in countless casualties. Finally, Shen Chuan withdrew her troops, bringing the battle to a close...

In the early morning, a cold wind accompanied by light snow came from the north, and a faint smell of blood floated in the air.

The northern walls of Beisha City were covered in blackened traces of fire. Below the city walls lay countless charred corpses, emitting an unpleasant stench.

Twenty miles outside the city, corpses were everywhere and the scene was extremely tragic.

The city gates were wide open, and countless people ran out to greet the soldiers who were covered in scars and had survived the war.

From the south to the north, Zhang Zhiyi stood on the north city, looking at the soldiers who were staggering, supporting each other, and covered in wounds, his eyes were red.

"This Shen Chuan is such a lunatic!" Nan Qi cursed, gritting his teeth.

He was determined to increase the number of casualties on their side, even if it meant risking his life! Why on earth was he doing that?

"Although we suffered heavy casualties in this battle, the Beidi suffered even greater casualties! After this battle, Beisha City is temporarily safe." Beiji said.

In a day or two, the northern aid army will arrive. By then, they will definitely settle this account with Shen Chuan!

Zhang Zhiyi remained silent. He believed that war always brings casualties; this was unavoidable. In this battle, with less than 40,000 men, they had annihilated nearly 100,000 Northern Di soldiers. This was already a great honor! As for the soldiers buried on the battlefield, their deaths were well-deserved and more precious than Mount Tai!

In comparison, he was more curious about how the Beisha City, with only 5,000 defense troops, could defend against the attack of 50,000 troops from Shen Chuan, that ruthless man?

After hearing his doubts, the anger on Nanqi's face was replaced by excitement and excitement. He vividly told Zhang Zhiyi and Beiji about what happened in defending the city last night.

One can imagine what the two people's expressions were like after hearing this.

Zhang Zhiyi even confirmed it several times. Was the woman Nanqi was talking about really the He Niangzi he knew?

Seeing that he didn't believe her, Nanqi said, "You can ask your sister. She was also on the city wall last night, defending the enemy. Although she was on the other side of the city gate, she must have seen the graceful figure of Heshu."

Zhang Zhiyi suppressed the shock in his heart and looked around, but he couldn't see Shu He and his sister at all.

The three men didn't notice that among the wounded soldiers entering the city, one of them lowered his head, his eyes constantly wandering over the bodies of the Northern Di soldiers. His dark face made it difficult to discern his expression, but his eyes always emitted a faint cold light.

What was even more different from the others was that the man's eyes and demeanor did not show any of the fatigue and weakness that ordinary soldiers showed after a battle.

At this time, a commoner came to support him and led him into the city with his injured arm wrapped.
