Chapter 484 - Chapter 468: Defending the Homeland

Fengyu arrived at the city gates with the soldiers when the battle had already reached a fever pitch. Although the Ningzhou Iron Cavalry had five thousand men in West State, most were out of the city due to farming duties and couldn't return in time. Only a secret path through the mine led back to the city, so the cavalry had to get to the mine first before returning. Now, there were fewer than three thousand troops defending the city. The Sannan Army numbered nearly ten thousand and were elite, well-trained, and extremely aggressive. Although the West State City Gate was closed, the walls had been shattered by the trebuchet, with a squad blocking the cavalry's charge at the gate.
