The empress disliked my achievements for overshadowing her own, so she turned her attention to the N

After Gao Shun and his group rushed out, they discovered that there were thousands of corpses lying at the entrance of the Imperial Hospital, and every single one of them was a former heavily armored soldier.

"This...what the hell is going on?"

Seeing this, Gao Shun was completely bewildered, only then remembering that someone had been shouting his lord's name outside.

He thought to himself, "Could it be that our lord has really led his troops back to fight?"

The next second, he saw a familiar figure in mid-air; it was none other than his lord, Chen Nan.

Gao Shun was immediately overjoyed and shouted, "Brothers, our lord has personally led the troops back to fight! Join me in battle!"

The Trapped Battalion, with their unwavering belief in certain death, naturally unleashed a combat power far exceeding that of ordinary soldiers.

Now that they still have a chance to survive, everyone's fighting spirit has soared.

Two more hours passed before the group cleared away the heavily armored soldiers surrounding the Imperial Hospital.

In the crowd, Gao Shun spotted Chen Nan's location at a glance and quickly ran over.

"My lord, I have successfully fulfilled my mission!"

Chen Nan stepped forward and helped him up: "General Gao Shun has worked hard in this battle. After I revive the Empress Dowager, I will request that you be rewarded."

Gao Shun wasn't particularly interested in the credit; they had only come into this world because of Chen Nan.

Chen Nan turned to the crowd and said, "Mo Bai, take a team to the national treasury. I previously stored a batch of extremely special materials there."

"You all take out that batch of materials and then rush to the city gate at top speed."

"The rest of you, immediately follow me to the city gate."

"As for Gao Shun, you will lead troops to guard the Imperial Hospital. No one is allowed to approach except on my orders!"

Everyone took orders one after another.

Chen Nan led his group toward the city gate.

When the crowd arrived, the area behind the city gate was already piled high with countless corpses.

Upon closer inspection, most of the corpses were dressed in the standard armor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, with only a small number wearing something different.

Those who were different were naturally members of the Mo Dao Army who came because of Chen Nan.

Seeing this, everyone immediately went up to the city wall.

After finding Xiahou Lan on the city wall, Chen Nan asked, "General Xiahou, what's the situation now?"

Xiahou Lan clasped his hands and said, "My lord, eight thousand Northern Wei soldiers and one thousand Mo Dao soldiers died in battle."

"The enemy troops seem to be charging forward recklessly, and our men can only do their best to hold them off."

"Fortunately, the city wall is still in our hands and has not been taken away by the other side."

Chen Nan nodded: "General Xiahou has done his best."

He didn't even ask about the casualties.

After Chen Nan and his men climbed the city wall, the Northern Wei soldiers knew that they had not been abandoned.

With the will to live renewed in their hearts, everyone mustered all their energy to prepare for the next great battle.

Chen Nan waved his hand and said, "The army will rest and regroup. We will only make a move if the enemy shows any signs of attacking the city."

Chen Nan already had a way to deal with the enemy troops below the city walls.

Right after he finished speaking, the two seemed to have reached some kind of tacit agreement.

The heavily armored soldiers below the city ceased their attack, and the Northern Wei army on the city walls no longer maintained the same tight defense as before.

Half an hour later, Chen Nan looked at the crystal bottles covering the city and a smile appeared on his lips.

Those crystal bottles naturally contained the high-concentration crystals that the system had rewarded him with.

Chen Nan snorted coldly: "Next, I will show you what a sea of ​​fire really is!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhao Yun and instructed, "Zilong, you will personally lead three thousand White Horse Cavalry later."

"Once I open the city gates, you will take these crystal bottles and lead your troops out."

"Charge to the opposite camp and smash these crystal bottles on the ground and on the enemy."

"As long as it's within enemy territory, you can throw it anywhere."

Zhao Yun nodded, took the crystal bottle from Chen Nan, examined it carefully, and asked, "My lord, is this crystal bottle extremely powerful?"

Power? But this crystal bottle naturally has no power whatsoever.

But what if Zhao Yun and his group threw the crystal bottle into the enemy camp, or even onto the enemy soldiers' heavy armor?

Chen Nan will let them know exactly where the weaknesses of the heavy infantry lie.

Chen Nan gave Zhao Yun some more instructions, then opened the city gates and allowed Zhao Yun to lead his troops out.

Below the city wall, the man with a scar on his face was visibly stunned by what he saw: "This...has Chen Nan gone mad with worry?"

"He only has a few thousand light cavalry, yet he dares to charge at my more than ten thousand heavily armored soldiers?"

"Hmph, they can only be small countries. They don't even know that heavily armored soldiers are basically invincible on the battlefield."

"Soldiers, form ranks!" Scarface roared.

With an undisguised smile on his face, he said, "I'd like to see how your light cavalry manages to break through my heavy armor defenses."

He was so confident that he didn't even wait for his soldiers to be ready before announcing that they should form ranks.

After they had formed their battle formation, Zhao Yun led three thousand light cavalry to charge towards their formation.

Just as Scarface was about to advance, Zhao Yun waved his hand, and the three thousand soldiers were split in two.

One group moved to the left of the heavily armored soldiers, while the other group advanced to the right.

As the two groups of people advanced, they kept throwing things onto the ground.

The items that were thrown out were the crystal bottles that Chen Nan had initially asked everyone to carry.

After Scarface realized what was happening, he picked up a broken crystal bottle from the ground and smelled it.

He immediately frowned: "What the hell is this thing?"

"Why does it smell so awful?"

Scarface had never seen alcohol before, so naturally he didn't know what it was.

But he wasn't naive enough to believe that Chen Nan would kindly send someone to deliver good things to him.

"Brothers, quick! Use your armor to block whatever the enemy throws!"

At Scarface's command, the soldiers obediently straightened their chests and used their bodies to block the remaining crystal bottles.

At this moment, the scarred lieutenant whispered a reminder: "General, could the enemy use fire?"

He realized that if the enemy really used fire, their 10,000-plus men would be no match for them.

"Fire attack?" Scarface was taken aback. "Don't joke around."

“It’s winter now, there’s no flammable material at all, and we’re right below their city. Where would they find an opportunity to put oil around us?”

Scarface had great confidence in his soldiers and didn't believe the enemy would use fire.

"In that case, General, you should be extra careful!"

The lieutenant reminded him again before turning to direct the soldiers.
