Allure of a Country Maiden-Chapter 1203 - 1200_1

The soldiers of Nangong Country had waited in the valley for two days, and surprisingly, not a single soldier had retreated. General Jiang of Nangong Country couldn’t help but wonder, "Could the enemy have passed through the legendary grassland of death?"

A Vice General surnamed Zhao immediately denied this possibility, "Impossible, no one has ever come out after entering! We don’t even know what’s in the grassland. Perhaps they’re all annihilated!"

"I don’t think the enemy could have crossed the grassland of death, but complete annihilation is also unlikely. Those who didn’t die must be hiding somewhere, waiting for us to retreat before they make a run for it," analyzed another Vice General surnamed Zhang.

After hearing this, General Jiang felt that Vice General Zhang’s analysis made sense, so he decided to wait another one or two days on this mountain.

Unexpectedly, it began to rain heavily that night, a downpour that continued until dawn.

Vice General Zhao said to General Jiang, "General, the rain is so heavy, should we retreat overnight?"

"No, precisely because the rain is so heavy, the soldiers of Minze Country might not be able to hold on and might flee from the grassland of death!"

Already having waited so long, General Jiang decided to wait another one or two days.

The soldiers of Nangong Country waited in the rain for a day and a night in the mountains, but didn’t see a single soldier from Minze Country. Instead, they saw Shangguan Xuanjun of Minze Country leading a hundred thousand troops to besiege their city!

Upon hearing this, General Jiang’s face went pale!

They were caught in a trap!

No wonder the battle had ended so easily. The enemy’s formation had dispersed within half an hour, and Di Shaowei had led his soldiers to retreat immediately! It seems they intended to lure them away, allowing Shangguan Xuanjun to lead his troops to attack the city!

Clever Di Shaowei, intentionally misleading him, making him believe that they came to exhaust their poison powder!

Fifty thousand troops attacking the city! The defending soldiers were also fifty thousand, but if Di Shaowei’s hundred thousand soldiers had not perished and had instead managed to circumvent the grassland of death and returned to Jiangdong County, then Jiangdong County would be in great danger!

"Minze’s soldiers are attacking the city, retreat! Hurry back to defend the city!" General Jiang shouted as loudly as he could.

The soldiers of Nangong Country also realized the severity of the situation, quickly regrouping and rushing back to defend the city.

When the soldiers of Nangong Country rushed back, Shangguan Xuanjun was commanding his archers to kill the soldiers on the city wall!

The soldiers on the city wall were also continuously shooting arrows down at the soldiers beneath them.

For a moment, the confusing rain of arrows in the sky was denser than the downpour.

"Kill!" General Jiang shouted loudly.

Shangguan Xuanjun glanced at the arriving soldiers of Nangong Country, the corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile: I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!

"Brothers, attack! Our goal this time is to not leave a single one alive! Don’t let a single one escape!" Shangguan Xuanyi used his inner strength to project his voice out, allowing every soldier to hear it!

"Kill! Leave no one alive!" The soldiers of Minze Country promptly responded loudly!

And so, the two armies began to engage in brutal combat.

The soldiers of Nangong Country had guarded the valley for two days, been drenched in rain for a day and night, and had just rushed dozens of miles to get here, they were already exhausted. How could they be a match for the soldiers of Minze Country, who had been waiting here in formation!

But on the battlefield, it’s not a game. One careless move could cost a life. The soldiers of Nangong Country began to resist, fighting tooth and nail!

Despite their desperate efforts, the soldiers of Nangong Country fell at an alarming rate!

Seeing the grim situation, General Jiang was about to order a retreat, when...

At that moment, Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao’er arrived with fifty thousand elite cavalry!

It really was a case of misfortunes never coming singly!

"Charge!" Shangguan Xuanyi said coldly, without wasting a word.

With the addition of the fifty thousand elite cavalry, the soldiers of Nangong Country fell even faster!

Seeing corpses of Nangong soldiers littering the ground and their numbers dwindling among the fighting companies, General Jiang thought of leading his soldiers back to the city. But the city gate was tightly guarded by a dense crowd of Minze soldiers. As soon as the city gate opened, before his soldiers could take cover, the soldiers of Minze Country would probably have already rushed in, leading to the city’s downfall!

Entering the city was out of the question, but if he didn’t, and he led his soldiers to flee, Jiangdong County would fall to the soldiers of Minze Country. He came with his men to save the city. How could he run away like this!

But if he didn’t flee, all of his hundred thousand soldiers would be wiped out! Then, Jiangdong County would still fall to the soldiers of Minze Country!

General Jiang felt like he was in a quandary!

He now regretted his initial decision. What on earth was he thinking, waiting in the valley to ambush the retreating soldiers of Minze Country!

Now he was between a rock and hard place!

The general on the city wall watched the soldiers of Nangong being beaten into a disarray, almost leaving no one alive!

He was in a state of great anxiety!

What should he do? Should he open the city gates and send out his men to help?

But?

He glanced at the tens of thousands of enemies at the city gates and hesitated!

If he didn’t open the gates, it wouldn’t be easy for the enemy to conquer the city, and maybe the reinforcements could arrive in time! Then, Jiangdong County might be saved!

So he shouted at General Jiang: "Retreat! Go for reinforcements!"

Hearing this, General Jiang finally realized what he meant. Right! Go back for reinforcements! As more and more of his soldiers fell, it was clear that if they didn’t retreat, they would lose everything. He hurriedly shouted: "Retreat!"

Then, he led the way, retreating towards the grassland of death.

Since the soldiers of Minze Country were able to retreat there just now, it meant there was a way to survive through the grassland of death!

Hearing General Jiang’s command, the soldiers of Nangong quickly retreated.

"Pursue!" Shangguan Xuanyi quickly followed.

Then the soldiers of Nangong fled with the soldiers of Minze in hot pursuit!

When they reached the valley, General Jiang was stunned.

Di Shaowei was waiting in the valley with his soldiers. Seeing the stunned General Jiang, he smiled brilliantly, "General Jiang, long time no see!"

It was only then that General Jiang realized that all the soldiers who had rushed over from Minze Country were skilled cavalrymen. There was not a single infantryman in sight!

They were all waiting here! free𝑤ebnovel.com

Minze Country had already set up the trap, blocking all their retreat routes!

With wolves in the front and pursuers at the back, mountains on both sides, their only option was to run up the mountain!

"Run! Everyone, run to the mountains!" General Jiang quickly ordered.

The soldiers scattered, fleeing up the mountains on both sides. This was their only escape route.

Di Shaowei grinned sarcastically, he cheerfully uttered two words: "Shoot arrows!"

The soldiers of Minze Country quickly backed off, and then the soldiers ambushed on the mountain shot arrows at the soldiers of Nangong who were climbing.

A dense shower of arrows flew out. The soldiers of Nangong, hit by arrows, fell backward, knocking down the men behind them, and they all tumbled down the mountain.

"Kill! Make a bloody path!" Seeing this, General Jiang’s eyes turned red, he shouted.

Another fierce battle began, with the sounds of fighting resounding and scaring off the birds in the mountains!

After a long while, the flashing of swords and the cries of the fallen finally subsided.
