"kill!"

Loud shouts erupted from the surroundings, and soldiers from the Prince's Guard, wielding broadswords and spears, charged out.

One punch can't beat four hands!

No matter how elite the grassland bandit cavalry were, they were quickly outmatched by the countless royal guards surrounding them.

Nahatai gripped his scimitar with both hands, desperately trying to defend himself.

puff!

In a brief moment, a spear pierced his waist.

Nahatai frowned, a pained expression on his face, and his movements paused for a moment.

Just then, several spears thrust at it.

Nahatai was covered in thorns and fell heavily to the ground.

Time passed slowly, and the grassland bandit cavalry that charged into the trenches were quickly wiped out.

Meanwhile, at the lookout tower over the Shuibin River, Infantry Commander Wei Jun was also calmly directing the troops.

"Commander Wei, the second trench has been captured!"

A soldier ran over and said in a deep voice.

"Yeah?"

Wei Jun glanced back at the trench defenses, and after assessing the situation, he couldn't help but smile. "Very good! It seems this defensive system is quite effective!"

Tell the brothers, "Next, we're going to face the bandits and their entourage from the grasslands!"

"Kill them all!"

"yes!"

On the watchtower, archers operated triple crossbows, aiming at the distant grassland bandits.

"put!"

The massive triple-bow ballista sent an arrow, as thick as a forearm, forward and embedded it directly next to a siege ladder.

The massive arrow pierced the bodies of several guards and, due to its momentum, destroyed the siege ladder.

The crossbows on the two watchtowers, the arrows in the trenches, and the thunderous oil tanks behind the trenches.

Under multiple blows, the escort soldiers on the battlefield suffered heavy casualties.

These infantrymen did not possess the same level of mobility as the cavalry of the steppe bandits.

How can one possibly dodge a thunderbolt falling from the sky by running on two legs alone?

In a short period of time, countless corpses had been left on the battlefield.

Blood was everywhere, and flesh was mangled beyond recognition!

Corpses littered the ground!

At the edge of the forest, the Grand Commander Embark, who was watching all of this, was completely stunned.

A pair of eyes stared blankly ahead, clearly unable to believe what they were seeing.

It should be known that the grassland bandits and cavalry were invincible and unstoppable on the grasslands.

I never expected the battle to be so difficult beneath the walls of Dongning City.

Moreover, in a very short period of time, they lost more than half of their troops!

This is so embarrassing for Embok!

It should be noted that Embok led a large army to attack Dongning City, and he had been preparing for this for several months.

This is a blatant slap in the face!

"Commander-in-Chief, Commander-in-Chief..."

Just then, a cavalryman came from the battlefield.

As soon as they arrived, before they even dismounted, the cavalryman said, "Commander, all of my cavalry have been wiped out."

The whereabouts of Commander Nahatai are unknown!

"What?"

President Embark was completely stunned.

Unexpectedly, the entire cavalry force was wiped out!

Moreover, Nahatai's whereabouts are unknown?

Could it be...?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

On the distant battlefield, the deafening explosions of thunderclaps struck Embok's mind like heavy drumsticks.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Embok's face gradually turned pale, and his lips opened and closed, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

After a long silence, Embok said weakly, "Let's retreat first!"

Woohoo—

As the bugle sounded, the grassland bandits on the battlefield gradually retreated.

Despite the order to retreat, the grassland bandits on the battlefield were not able to retreat easily.

Thunderclaps rained down from the sky as if they were free.

Each round of explosions took away a large number of the bodyguards.

After suffering heavy casualties, the grassland bandits finally withdrew from the battlefield.

The fighting has temporarily ceased.

Oh! Oh!

Cheers erupted from the watchtowers and trenches.

After a long battle, they finally held off the first wave of attacks.

Bright smiles bloomed on the faces of the soldiers of the Prince's Guard and the people of Dongning City.

On the city wall of Dongning, Li Xin also saw the battlefield situation.

We won!

It really wasn't easy!

Li Xin took a deep breath. He knew in his heart that although he had repelled the first wave of attacks from the grassland bandits, and it seemed that the victory was quite fruitful.

However, the grassland bandits in the distance were still watching with predatory eyes and had not yet retreated.

This remains a threat!

After thinking for a moment, Li Xin ordered, "Tell the kitchen to add extra food! Add more meat! Cook immediately and send it to the front lines!"

"yes!"

A guard quickly responded.

"in addition,"

Li Xin then instructed, “Tell Wei Jun and He Chaojun to take stock of the casualties, clean up the battlefield, and report the battle losses!”

Instruct the gunpowder and arsenal within the city to ensure a smooth supply of logistical materials!

Li Xin is currently stationed in Dongning City, mainly responsible for ensuring logistics.

After all, matters of war are handled by specialists.

That afternoon, the battlefield had been initially cleared.

The horses that were shot were dragged back to Dongning City by the people and became meat for the kitchen staff.

The captured weapons and equipment were also brought back to Dongning City.

While the battlefield was being cleared, reports of battle damage from each defensive line were also sent to Dongning City.

Looking at the report in his hand, Li Xin frowned.

This battle yielded considerable gains.

In the trenches alone, 476 grassland bandits were killed and 121 were captured.
