At the city gate, the battle still raged on. The Duke of the Liang State had brought two hundred thousand reinforcements from Tiandu, and they were currently engaged in fierce combat with the barbarians.
The Xuan Iron Army, after several arduous battles, had fewer than fifty thousand soldiers remaining. They had managed to hold out thanks to reinforcements from two other great provinces, which had sent significant forces to Yongxue City to join the Xuan Iron Army in resisting the barbarian horde.
If the Duke of the Liang State had arrived even a moment later, Yongxue City would have fallen completely. The ten-thousand-mile mountains where the barbarians resided would have had no more barriers or checkpoints separating them from the Yan State and even Da Xia, allowing them to advance unchecked.
"Kill!"
"Charge!"
