The campsite of several hundred feet was suddenly filled with smoke and dust. Snow particles, sand, and countless fragments of body parts were blown up by the blast, as if a huge cloud exploded on the flat ground in an instant.

The Southern Qi soldiers who were trying desperately to escape could never have imagined that it was not them who were hit by the shells, but the Western Rong army in the distance!

The survivors of the robbery had not even had time to catch their breath before they turned around and saw such a shocking scene. They were all so shocked that they couldn't help but open their mouths.

Sheng Yichen knew what was going on, so he leaned over to look around, and saw Gu Yuancheng hiding on a tree branch, making a gesture to him to let go.

He then withdrew his gaze and hurriedly ordered the remaining troops to retreat quickly.

"Hurry up and open all the city gates! A sandstorm is coming, everyone retreat back to the city!"

Immediately afterwards, the trumpets of retreat were heard from the top of the city. Sheng Yichen knew immediately that Xiaowu also saw Gu Yuancheng's signal.

The iron gate that had only been opened halfway before was now fully opened. Even though the generals and soldiers were terrified beyond words, they had to suppress their emotions temporarily and obey orders out of habit.

In the distance, the scattered dust gradually subsided.

Thousands of Xirong soldiers were killed in the blink of an eye, and the strong smell of burnt blood instantly spread throughout the camp. Silent fear also spread in the blink of an eye.

Even though many of the soldiers who were surrounded had not been affected by the artillery fire, they were still spitting sweet and fishy smells and their ears were buzzing. While suppressing their fear, they also had to try their best to control the frightened horses.

The soldiers retreated uncontrollably, only to disorganize themselves again, causing a series of trampling incidents.

“Help…Help…”

"Don't step back, someone has been trampled to death!"

"It's a punishment from heaven! It must have been a punishment from heaven! The commander is dead, what are you guys doing here? Why don't you run?!"

Tens of thousands of Xirong troops were in chaos. They heard screams one after another, and more and more of them were trampled into the sand by their frightened horses and colleagues.

But a man who looked like a deputy general rushed over and shouted angrily:

"Quiet! All troops, maintain formation and obey orders! Anyone who disobeys orders will be killed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the deputy general swung the long sword in his hand, and the head of the soldier who made the most trouble was chopped off immediately.

All of a sudden, the whole army fell silent. Even though everyone was filled with fear, they could only force themselves to endure it.

The deputy general snorted coldly and continued in Xirong language: "It just happened that a gust of wind blew the cannons back. Before the expedition, the priests had predicted that this battle would be a victory. Now we have just encountered a little wind and waves, why are you crying and howling like ghosts and wolves?!"

"Now that the sandstorm has subsided, it's a good time to attack. Don't be afraid of the cowards of Nanqi. Just rush over and kill them all to avenge our past shame!"

"Charge forward and avenge the past!"

The batch of artillery was just bought from Southern Qi, and Xirong was not very clear about the operation logic. At this time, the crowd was excited, and many people really believed the words of the deputy general and felt that they were capable again.

Tens of thousands of cavalrymen immediately rode their horses with great ambition and charged towards Huangsha Fort.

The cavalry at the rear were also encouraged by their morale and fired their cannons one by one. In order to attack Huangsha Fort in one go, they also pushed over a dozen reserve artillery batteries.

"Boom-boom-boom--"

"Damn it! The Xirong are attacking the city again! Close the city gates quickly, and those who haven't entered the city should quickly adjust their formation to resist the enemy!"

Here, before the Nanqi people could fully recover from their shock, they were lifted up again.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, the storm that was thought to have stopped came again!

In an instant, countless artillery pieces flew like meteors, and along with them, the thousands of cavalrymen in the front were all blown back!

"Boom-boom-boom--"

This explosion was several times more violent than the previous ones. The gray smoke rushed up and covered the sky, blocking everyone's vision.

The roar of the thunder made my ears hurt. It was not until several breaths later that I could vaguely hear the gradually increasing screams and the neighing of horse hooves.

More than 40,000 cavalrymen were killed in an instant. Even though Xirong generals kept rushing to maintain order, they still couldn't control the retreating and scattered army. They were constantly injured by frightened horses and fleeing groups, and then even more tragedies occurred.

"Ahem... Ahem... Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

At the rear of the chaotic Xirong army, a man dressed as an artilleryman suppressed a cough caused by smoke and dust, and hurriedly asked another man next to him who was also dressed as an artilleryman.

The question was full of shock and confusion. He had obviously never expected that he had set up a perfect chess game, but still lost miserably.

"It's God's will... I didn't expect that even if we worship God, He would still choose Southern Qi in the end." The regent of Xirong had never lost before. It took him a long time to recover from the shock, and he murmured with a gloomy face.

From his current knowledge, he really couldn't imagine who else could have such an ability to break his long-planned plan in just a few breaths. Naturally, he attributed it to the manifestation of the gods.

Anyway, if it weren't for the gods, Nanqi would have been defeated. There is nothing shameful in being defeated by the gods.

Fortunately, a mysterious person came to visit him half a month ago. He not only sold him dozens of cannons that Xirong had never seen before at a low price, but also told him that the Sheng family might pass through the northwest border of Nanqi, so he asked him to take more precautions.

Now the front is in chaos, and I don't know whether the Sheng family has appeared. But fortunately, he believed the mysterious words, and the signs were smaller than usual.

This time he didn't show up in front of them, but just pretended to be an ordinary artilleryman and watched the battle from behind. In order to conceal his presence, there were not even many people protecting him in public.

He managed to avoid the previous assassination and two bombardments.

Now, as long as he escapes back to the tribe during the chaos, there may be a chance for Dong Wo to rise again!

The Regent looked at the less than 10,000 defeated soldiers and generals left in front of him, and said to those around him fiercely:

"Send a small team to gather the remaining forces and lead them to evacuate to the west. The Nanqi and the vagrants are in a fierce battle, and if they see the vagrants are defeated, they will pursue them. Once they have lured all the Nanqi troops away, the vagrants will take their guards and escape back to the tribe from the east."

"Yes." The person beside him said calmly.

He knew clearly that the thousands of people who were being led westward had already been abandoned, but he did not care.

The Regent of Xirong took one last look at the incomplete walls of Huangsha Castle and turned his head unwillingly:

"Go and bring your horse over! No need to worry about the food and fodder anymore. Captain of the guards, quickly escort you back to the tribe!"

Humph! Isn't Nanqi lucky and blessed by the gods? !

When he returns and offers sacrifices to the gods, he will surely be able to break through the border and trample the land and people of Southern Qi under his horse's hooves!

Taking advantage of the chaos in the army, the Regent immediately mounted his horse and galloped eastward.

But in the next moment, countless high walls made of yellow sand suddenly rose up in front of them!

The bodyguards who were at the front couldn't stop themselves and were knocked off their horses.

The Regent was frightened. Just as he tried his best to control the frightened horse, he saw a strong wind blowing all around him.

In the midst of the dust and sand, it was vaguely visible that the artillery batteries that were originally facing the Nanqi city wall were blown in the other direction and were now facing the panicked Western Rong army!

Including their small team of horses whose way was blocked by the sand wall!
