"How did they manage to cross the battlefield?" Xie Jue stood atop the shattered remnants of the city wall, his gaze cold and heavy as it swept across the expanse outside Ningzhou City. The battlefield was half a day's journey from the city, and the Beiman and Ningzhou Iron Cavalry typically clashed there. Only when the battlefield was lost, and the Beiman's assault became too fierce, would the troops retreat to the city. For many years, the Beiman army had rarely reached the area right outside Ningzhou City.
