Chapter 263: Izumo Empire's Reinforcements

Gu Fengchen held Yan Ci's head, stood on the city wall, took a deep breath, and roared like thunder: "The enemy chief is dead, soldiers, kill the enemy!"

After so many days of fighting, the city walls of Mo City were already in ruins, with the dark walls covered with traces of fire and blood, as well as cracks and pits caused by arrows and stones.

The soldiers of the Gama Empire were already exhausted, but it was not until this moment, when Gu Fengchen held Yan Ci's head in his hand, that the soldiers of the Gama Empire finally came to their senses!
The cheers from the top of the city were deafening like thunder and sea.

The morale that had been suppressed by the Snake People for several months burst out at this moment.

The defenders of the Gama Empire, from the generals to the soldiers, were all excited at this moment.

On the other hand, after Yan Ci's death, the Snake People's formation was in chaos.

Especially the subordinates directly under Commander Yan Ci, after seeing their boss being beheaded by the enemy, some of them cried bitterly, while others began to retreat and flee in panic.

At this moment, the morale of the entire snake people clan dropped rapidly, and they were even on the verge of defeat.

"Gu Fengchen!" Nanshe's face was gloomy.

This young man disrupted all his plans.

Yan Ci is the strongest fighter among the snake people, at the peak of fighting king.

The loss of combat power was certainly a huge loss, but what was really bad was the collapse of morale.

You know, this time, the snake people went on an expedition together with the Izumo Empire. The two countries had just formed an alliance, and the morale that they had finally gathered was directly cut off by Gu Fengchen's sword.

On the battlefield, soldiers rely on their morale to fight. A crushing defeat means that this morale is gone.

The southern snake narrowed its eyes.

It had no intention of withdrawing its troops. Although they had almost used up all their trump cards, the Izumo Empire was going to send two more Douhuangs to join the battle, so the Southern Snake had no intention of withdrawing its troops.

However, they can't continue the siege now. After Yan Ci was killed, the morale of the snake army has been disrupted. Continuing the siege would only mean suicide. He must go back to stabilize the morale of the army and regroup.

But because Nanshe is the real dog-headed military strategist and the brain of the snakemen soldiers, his reputation is much higher than Yanci. With him, the army can be stabilized. Looking at the snakemen army retreating like a tide, Gu Fengchen stood on the top of the city with a deep gaze.

The sunset is as red as blood. No matter victory or defeat, war is always the cruelest.

In the bloody sunset, the defenders of the Gama Empire silently cleared the bodies of the enemies and their comrades, as well as the broken limbs.

Those who needed to clean up the battlefield cleaned up the battlefield, those who needed to repair the city walls repaired the city walls, and those who needed to replenish the crossbows replenished the crossbows.

Everyone started to get busy with their own work.

The joy of victory was temporary because the enemy did not give up, but only withdrew temporarily.

They need to be ready for an enemy attack at any time.

Fortunately, there was light in the soldiers' eyes because they had faith and a backbone.

Especially the blow where Gu Fengchen killed Flame Thorn head-on, which boosted the morale greatly.

Although I still have some cards in my hand, they are not many.

Princess Yaoye, wearing a long robe, stood on the top of the city wall. She sighed and asked Nalan Su, "How many people died in this battle?"

Nalan Su gave an ugly smile: "1,200 people died. The biggest losses in this battle were artillery and crossbows. These things are very troublesome to repair."

Yao Ye glanced at the snake people stationed far away. They were setting up camp in an orderly manner and showed no intention of fleeing.

Yao Ye frowned, "Theoretically, if Yan Ci is dead, then the snake people should retreat, but now, they have no intention of retreating at all, which means they still have a trump card."

Nalan Su said, "It may be that the masters from the Izumo Empire are coming. Besides, the enemy's morale has stabilized now. With Nanshe here, the enemy's morale will not be disturbed. Moreover, once the reinforcements from the Izumo Empire arrive, the pressure on our side will be even greater."
