Chapter 53: The Women's Army (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
"This is how the same thing?"

Nan Batian and other village chiefs also noticed the change in morale of the Tiance garrison.

With the appearance of Li Xiuning, the defenders' low morale began to recover and then became excited.

The role of a qualified commander is reflected at this time.

"It must be the effect of her character traits! Which female general is she?"

Nan Batian’s scalp tingled.

Originally, Tiance Town was within easy reach, but with the appearance of the female general, things changed beyond expectations.

This female general also brought with her fifty special soldiers - a team of senior female soldiers equipped with red tassel spears and bright armor.

The addition of this new force to the battle will have a crucial impact on the war situation!

"Drive them out of the city."

Li Xiuning's tone was cold, but her order was unquestionable.

Fifty female soldiers and several hundred sword, shield and spearmen launched a counterattack.

The female soldiers equipped with Ming Guang armor formed a spear formation, forcing Nan Batian's troops to retreat.

Any enemy troops that tried to block their way were ruthlessly stabbed to death by the spear formation.

Li Xiuning personally faced Nan Batian and Wu Sangui, wielding his spear like a dragon, suppressing both of them at the same time, making them cope with the situation in a very awkward manner.

As the lost city walls were gradually recaptured, the defenders on the walls outnumbered the attackers and their morale grew.

With the blessing of Li Xiuning's character traits, the combat effectiveness of the Tiance garrison troops increased dramatically.

Because of the effectiveness of the military system, the barracks in Tiance Town are rapidly converting farmers into soldiers and then reinforcing the city walls.

The coalition forces from one town and thirteen villages had a strength of 6,000 soldiers. They lost some of them during the siege. The manpower was becoming increasingly tight, and it was the coalition's turn for morale to plummet.

"Nan Batian, my soldiers are almost dead!"

A village chief complained bitterly.

Fifty female soldiers easily defeated hundreds of ordinary soldiers in the village on the narrow city wall.

The red tasseled spears of the female soldiers could thrust forward, piercing through two enemy soldiers at once.

A group of female soldiers charged forward, killing and wounding a large number of enemy soldiers.

Dangdang Dangdang!
Li Xiuning brandished the red tasseled spear, which was like a red snake, forcing Nan Batian and Wu Sangui to block with their swords. The sound of weapons clashing was endless.

"Brother Nan, someone spotted the scholar's cavalry in the area of ​​15 miles!"

"This is not good..."

Nan Batian gritted his teeth and sweated profusely.

Tiance Town was guarded by Li Xiuning's troops, making it difficult to capture for the time being, and Li Qian's cavalry would soon return to Tiance Town. If attacked from both inside and outside, his army would undoubtedly be defeated.

The operation was undoubtedly a failure.

"withdraw!"

Nan Batian reluctantly issued the order to retreat, and the troops of the thirteen villages in the town were defeated.

Faced with Li Xiuning's pursuit, Nan Batian and Wu Sangui had to fight and retreat.

The red tasseled spear grazed Nan Batian's arm, pierced through the arm armor, and left a bloody mark.

Nan Batian groaned in pain, and did not dare to stay any longer, and hurried down the city.

"Brother Nan, get on the horse!"

A player prepared a warhorse for Nan Batian in advance, and Nan Batian jumped on the horse and fled.

Li Xiuning switched to a longbow and shot an arrow at Nan Batian.

The arrow hit Nan Batian's armor. The sharp arrowhead tore through the armor and penetrated into the flesh on his back. The pain made Nan Batian grimace in pain.

If it weren't for the protection of the armor, and if Nan Batian hadn't obtained some of the military power from Aoba, this arrow would have been enough to kill Nan Batian and make him fall off his horse.

"It's a pity that there are no cavalry..."

Li Xiuning had no warhorse and could not give chase.

The Tiance garrison had been fighting hard for a long time and their physical strength had been exhausted and they were unable to continue fighting.

But the enemy retreated, and the people of Tiance Town were inspired, and their morale had almost returned to the level before the battle. "Thank you... lady for your help."

Deng Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

If Li Xiuning had not led a team of fifty female soldiers to repel Nan Batian and Wu Sangui, Tiance Town might have been captured by the coalition forces of one town and thirteen villages.

"We are all serving our lord."

Li Xiuning seemed to have done something insignificant.

Deng Zhi also had to rescue the wounded and repair the city walls.

This battle caused considerable losses to Tiance Town, with at least three thousand militiamen killed. The damage to public morale should not be underestimated.

When Li Qian led the cavalry back to Tiance Town, the battle was over.

This surprised Li Qian.

Li Qian originally only expected Li Xiuning to lead the troops to defend Tiance Town and wait for his return, but he did not expect Li Xiuning to directly defeat Nan Batian.

"The Lord is finally back!"

When Zhao Xiancai saw Li Qian leading his troops back, he burst into tears and was so excited that he almost cried.

Tiance Town was almost breached.

"Thanks to Miss Li's help, our Tiance Town was spared."

Deng Zhi also came out to greet Li Qian.

Beside him followed a female general, who was dressed in military uniform, had delicate features, a firm gaze, thin lips, a tall and slender figure, and delicate and fair skin. She was extremely beautiful even without any makeup.

The female general was followed by a team of female soldiers.

Every female soldier is equipped with Ming Guang armor, holding a red tassel spear in hand and a Tang sword at the waist. They are heroic and as capable as any man.

The Women's Army, Li Xiuning's special army.

Li Qian used the reward to assign fifty female soldiers to Li Xiuning, so the female soldiers appeared in Tiance Town.

Li Xiuning was also curiously looking at the lord who had recruited him. The lord was a little handsome. He clasped his fists and said, "General Li Xiuning, I pay my respects to the lord."

"Miss Li, you have defended the town and have made the greatest contribution. You will receive a reward of fifty taels, a mansion, and three fine horses."

"The rest of the city defenders will also receive rewards."

Li Qian was generous in rewarding military generals.

Li Xiuning helped him defend the town, and for such a contribution, this reward was not much.

"The damage caused by defending the city this time is not small."

A civil official dressed in brocade clothes came out holding an account book, counting the losses and feeling heartbroken.

Presumably, the person who managed the money of Tiance Town was Sang Hongyang, the finance minister of Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che.

This was the first time Li Qian met Sang Hongyang.

Sang Hongyang was more worried about the loss of territory than Li Qian. In Sang Hongyang's eyes, the loss was a huge amount of silver.

"What's the damage?"

This was the first time Li Qian’s house was robbed, and he hadn’t even entered the town to check the damage.

Sang Hongyang replied: "We lost 3,576 soldiers and militiamen, 100,681 arrows, and 312 wooden shields..."

Sang Hongyang knew them all, even down to the single digit.

In one battle, the defenders lost more than 3,000 people, which shows how fierce the battle was.

You know, Tiance Town had a population of only more than 68 people, and one-tenth of the population was killed in an instant, and they were all able-bodied men. It was undoubtedly a devastating blow to the town, and the public sentiment of Tiance Town dropped to .

Fortunately, Li Qian captured more than 4,000 Yellow Turban soldiers alive in Wancheng. These Yellow Turban soldiers were also able-bodied men, enough to make up for the losses in Tiance Town.

Li Qian had no intention of letting these Yellow Turban soldiers return to their fields.

Since Nan Batian dared to attack his territory, he would retaliate.
