A cry of "Huo Yan——!" rang out in the chaos, like thunder splitting the night, shocking everyone in an instant.
The escort commander who was commanding the army suddenly froze, his heart seemed to be tightly gripped by someone, and he turned around abruptly.
Huo Yan?!
Impossible! Huo Yan should still be on the front lines at this moment. How could he personally sneak into the Northern Qiang to rob food?
But - the only one in the world who can use the Huo family's spear skills, besides their master Huo Pingchang, is Huo Yan!
In an instant, countless guesses flashed through his mind.
—Has Huo Yan gone mad? He actually took such a risk alone?
——Or has he already been keeping an eye on Ning Cheng in secret?
——Could it be that all this was a setup from the beginning to the end?
But as the flames of war illuminated the night sky, he finally saw the person opposite him clearly.
The cloak fluttered, the spear tip was stained with blood, and what came into view was... a young but cold face of a girl!
Not Huo Yan?
It's actually a girl?!
Besides, he doesn't look very old...
A strange feeling of humiliation mixed with fear instantly surged into my heart.
He was the chief escort commander, yet he was forced to this point by a young girl?!
His pupils shrank slightly, and the hand holding the knife tightened involuntarily.
And just before he could come to his senses, a cold light broke through the air—
"puff--"
A splash of scarlet splashed in the scorching fire.
Yuan Nan'an curled the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes showing a sharp murderous intent. With a turn of his wrist, the spear pierced the commander's heart, the sharp edge penetrated his back, and blood slid down the spear.
She killed him with one strike, without any hesitation, and with a flick of the gun tip, she pulled it out violently!
The commander's eyes were wide open, as if he had not yet realized that he was dead.
His lips opened slightly, wanting to say something, but his life had been completely taken away at this moment.
He fell straight down, splashing dust and blood.
"The commander is dead, who else wants to die?"
The girl's clear voice pierced the night, carrying the warmth of the firelight, and every word was sonorous, shocking the whole audience.
The enemy's morale completely collapsed.
At this moment, everyone finally realized——
She is not Huo Yan.
But who is she?
Who is this person? He is actually the heir of Huo family's spearmanship!
As expected, the morale of the enemy collapsed. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the terrified enemy troops threw away their weapons and armor and fled in all directions.
The firelight illuminated Yuan Nan'an's stern profile. Blood beads on the tip of the gun dripped down the gun body, burning in the flames, dyeing the night red.
This scene shocked everyone.
No one expected that she could be so decisive and ruthless, killing him with one blow without any hesitation.
——Decisive and decisive in killing, as if entering an empty space!
At that moment, the soldiers who followed her were all shocked.
Who would have thought that this was her first time on the battlefield?
There was no timidity, no hesitation, and no sign of weakness.
When the spear blade pierced the enemy general's chest, her expression was terrifyingly calm, as if she was born for this battlefield.
Those soldiers and generals who were originally unwilling to accept her and secretly looked down on her, now quietly suppressed their arrogance.
They looked at the motionless figure, their pupils shrank slightly, and they swallowed unconsciously.
This... is a scary character.
Even Mo Yu was stunned for a moment.
He has met countless generals, soldiers, and heroes.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt that he saw the young Huo Yan.
The young general once wore armor and held a gun in the wind and snow, and defeated the enemy troops in front of the formation with a single shot.
At this moment, Yuan Nan'an stood alone in the flames, the tip of his gun had not yet been retracted, his blood had not yet dried, and his murderous eyes revealed a sharpness that could not be ignored.
A gust of wind blew by, stirring up the dust on the battlefield. She tilted her head slightly, glanced at everyone, and said lightly with her thin lips:
"What are you still standing there for? Take care of the rest."
The tone was cold and calm.
It was as if she had just casually crushed an ant.
After she finished speaking, she drew her spear and attacked again.
Mo Yu cooperated with her on the side and suddenly understood why Huo Yan wanted to teach the Huo family's spear skills to Yuan Nanan.
The general really wants to make her a real general!
…
In the big tent, Huo Yan stared at the Ningcheng mark on the map, his fingertips unconsciously stroking along the battle line.
Yuan Musheng stood quietly by the side. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes glanced out of the tent uncontrollably from time to time, revealing a hint of uneasiness.
Huo Yan didn't raise his head, his voice was calm and steady.
"Don't worry, Nannan is fine."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Musheng gently touched the bridge of his nose, and the hint of tension between his brows finally slowly relaxed a little.
He had never imagined that his sister, who was only that old, would actually lead troops to rob food...
It was as shocking as learning that Yuan Qiyu was traveling alone in the northwest.
These days, he followed Huo Yan to the front line. Although he did not actually go to the battlefield, he witnessed many dangers on the battlefield.
The bloody wounded soldiers carried back every day showed the ruthlessness of the battlefield.
He was afraid that Nan Nan would become like that...
Thinking of this, Yuan Musheng sighed imperceptibly.
Among the four brothers and sisters, why is it that he is the most mediocre one?
At this moment, a high-pitched and urgent military report suddenly came from outside the tent -
“Report—!”
Yuan Musheng's feet moved suddenly, and he almost instinctively took a step towards the tent door, but the next moment, he stopped abruptly and forced himself to calm down.
Huo Yan raised his head, his deep eyebrows and eyes remained calm in the firelight, only a hint of expectation appeared in his eyes.
The soldier who reported the battle quickly entered the tent, knelt on one knee, presented the battle report with both hands, and reported loudly:
"Report to the General! Deputy Mo Yu has sent a letter - all the food and fodder transported to Ningcheng has been destroyed, and the chief transporter has been personally killed by Miss Nan'an. Let's annihilate the enemy together..."
Before he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly shook!
Yuan Musheng suddenly straightened up, his eyes filled with shock, and then he slammed the table, unable to help but exclaim twice—
"well!!"
This is his sister! His biological sister!
He had long known that Yuan Nan'an was extremely talented, but he had never imagined that she would be able to show her prowess in the first battle on the battlefield and become a god in one battle!
On the other side, Huo Yan held the military newspaper, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise slightly.
He lowered his head and unfolded the letter, reading it carefully. In the letter, Mo Yu described Yuan Nan'an's performance in detail - from how she won over the crowd, to how she mobilized fire attacks and ambushes, to how she shot the enemy general through the heart without hesitation...
Huo Yan tightened his grip on the letter slightly, feeling an indescribable sense of pride and relief rising in his heart.
As expected of Zhao Zhao's bloodline,
He taught it himself!
Also...he is Huo Yan's successor on the battlefield!
