North Field, Heavenly Water City.
Now that the fifty-thousand-strong army of Houjin had launched an attack, North Field, which had just fallen into the hands of Yan Country, suddenly erupted into fierce flames of war, and traces of battles between soldiers of Yan and Houjin could be found in every city.
The entire North Field seemed to have turned into multiple meat grinders, burying countless living lives, and the fresh red blood had stained this land scarlet.
Because these cities had just changed hands, Yan Country had not yet fully assimilated or absorbed them, and moreover, Wang Shiyi had adopted a pacifying policy towards the city residents, which resulted in a ready response from the cities when the Houjin army attacked, coupled with frequent appearances of masters from the Great Snow Mountain, leading to a lopsided battle situation in which the Yan army was forced to retreat again and again.
