The God of War Who Protects the Nation: Starting with Saving a Mother and Daughter in Distress

In this chaotic battlefield, Qin An's gaze immediately locked onto Gongsun Yun.

To catch the thief, you must first catch the king. He had finally gotten this opportunity, and he didn't want to let go of this chance to achieve victory.

Holding a halberd, he galloped on his horse, and wherever he went, rebel soldiers were cut down from their horses, and no one could stop him.

Gongsun Yun's personal guards rushed forward to stop him, but they were no match for Qin An, like clay chickens and earthen dogs.

Qin An descended like a god, unstoppable and ruthless. His halberd was like the scythe of death, constantly reaping lives, and he soon reached Gongsun Yun.

"Qin An, don't be so arrogant!"

Gongsun Yun's eye was fixed on by Qin An, and he couldn't escape. Gongsun Yun roared fiercely but was actually weak inside, and raised the long spear in his hand to thrust at Qin An.

Qin An snorted coldly, neither dodging nor avoiding, and swept out with his halberd. With a loud "clang", Gongsun Yun's spear was knocked out of his hand.

Gongsun Yun was greatly alarmed.

Although they knew Qin An was extremely powerful, and that none of them could rival him, they never expected him to be this strong.

I am no match for him.

Before Gongsun Yun could react, Qin An's halberd had already pierced his chest.

"Well……"

Gongsun Yun let out a muffled groan, his eyes filled with disbelief and despair, before falling off his horse and dying instantly.

With their commander-in-chief dead, the rebel army was leaderless and plunged into complete chaos. Soldiers laid down their weapons and knelt down to surrender, and countless soldiers surrendered.

After completely defeating the attacking enemy forces, Qin An had no time to rest.

He entrusted Luo Sheng with the subsequent tasks of clearing the battlefield and incorporating the surrendered soldiers.

He then led Han Quan and some elite soldiers, dressed in rebel clothes, disguised themselves as rebels, and mingled with the fleeing troops, heading towards Yun Chui City with them.

In this chaotic situation, the defeated rebels were already like frightened birds, and no one paid any attention to the true identities of their "comrades".

Soon, the defeated rebel army arrived at the walls of Yun Chui City. The rebel soldiers guarding the city, seeing the returning rout and learning of the failed raid, were terrified and thrown into chaos. Without a second thought, they hastily opened the city gates, letting the fleeing army into the city.

Just as the city gates swung open, Qin An suddenly roared, "Qin An is here! Traitors, prepare to die!"

Before he finished speaking, he took up his halberd and charged into the city gate, unleashing a massacre on the rebel soldiers guarding the city.

Han Quan and other government soldiers disguised as rebels drew their weapons and charged alongside Qin An.

The rebels had long been terrified by Qin An's fearsome reputation.

Furthermore, Qin An was now like a ferocious demon, wielding his halberd with fierce power, instantly killing dozens of people. They had no mind to fight back and only thought about scattering and fleeing.

Taking advantage of the situation, Qin An and his men launched a fierce attack and quickly seized the city gate.

When the rebels inside the city saw that the city gates had been breached, they knew that all was lost and fled the city.

Qin An successfully captured Yun Chui City.

……

After conquering Yun Chui City, Qin An faced no further obstacles.

He rested for a few days in Yunchui City, replenishing his food and supplies, before leading his cavalry to continue their advance.

Along the way, the rebels fled at the mere sight of him, and Qin An encountered almost no decent resistance. He soon arrived at the rebels' stronghold, Qishan City.

Qishan City is situated in a strategically important location with tall and sturdy city walls, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Looking at the fortified city, Qin An couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. He knew that his cavalry alone was no match for it and that he could only wait for the rest of the army to arrive before making any further plans.

However, Qin An was not idle either.

After resting, he led his army to the city of Qishan and challenged the rebel army on the city walls.

"Listen up, you traitors on the city walls! I am Qin An! Open the city gates and surrender immediately, or when the city falls, I will leave you all without a single piece of armor!"

Qin An's voice, like a resounding bell, echoed throughout the entire city.

When Wang Bo, the rebel leader on the city wall, learned that it was Qin An who had attacked, he was also shocked.

He knew how formidable Qin An was; even Lu Lin had died at his hands. He figured his men were no match for him, so he didn't want to pay any attention to Qin An's challenge.

However, Wang Bo's generals were not happy. Most of them were hot-blooded men who were full of resentment towards Qin An, especially when they saw Qin An holding Lu Lin's halberd.

"My lord, that brat Qin An is far too arrogant. This humble general is willing to go out of the city to meet him in battle, take his dog's life, and avenge General Lu Lin!"

"That's right! My lord, we cannot let this brat be so arrogant. We request permission to fight!"

The generals all volunteered for battle, and the crowd was filled with righteous indignation.

Although they all knew that Qin An was very strong, who among them could stand out in this chaotic battlefield without having strong self-confidence?

Moreover, this is their home turf, so why would they easily avoid Qin An's sharp edge?

Faced with public outrage, Wang Bo also wavered somewhat.

He secretly wanted to avenge Lu Lin, and at the same time, he wanted to test Qin An's abilities and see just how powerful he really was.

Ultimately, Wang Bo decided to send Lin Bao, one of the only remaining five tiger generals, to fight.

To be on the safe side, he also sent Zhang Yu and Yang Qing, two of the Eight Generals, to oversee the operation.

Once Lin Bao was outmatched, they rushed to his aid.

Soon, the city gates of Qishan City slowly opened, and Lin Bao, holding a long spear, led Zhang Yu, Yang Qing, and others, along with thousands of soldiers, out of the city to form ranks and meet the enemy.

The rebel generals stared at Qin An with bloodshot eyes, wishing they could devour him alive.

"Qin An, you murderer, today we will make you pay for your crimes in blood!" Lin Bao glared at Qin An and said through gritted teeth.

Regardless of the circumstances, the rebels were also fighting on the banner of righteousness.

Currently, Qin An has killed nearly a third of the Demon Stars.

This hatred and resentment are irreconcilable.

Qin An smiled disdainfully: "You? If you've got the guts, bring it on! Whether it's a one-on-one fight or a group brawl, I'll take it!"

Qin An's contempt thoroughly enraged everyone.

Although Lin Bao knew Qin An was formidable, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead under the watchful eyes of everyone.

He brandished his spear, spurred his horse, and charged towards Qin An: "Qin An, stop with the empty words, take this!"

Qin An, wielding his halberd, calmly responded.

The two weapons clashed in mid-air, producing a loud clang and sparks flying everywhere.

During their exchange, Qin An discovered that Lin Bao's marksmanship was indeed exquisite, with tricky and unpredictable moves, demonstrating considerable strength.

However, Lin Bao lacked a strong, unwavering spirit.

Even though Qin An humiliated him in every way, he remained cautious and dared not take a gamble, unable to muster any real courage.

Qin An was somewhat disappointed by Lin Bao's appearance. He had thought he would meet a worthy opponent and have a good fight, but he didn't expect Lin Bao to be like this.

"Sigh, this is so boring." Qin An shook his head and said to Zhang Yu and Yang Qing beside him, "You two should come at me too, otherwise you won't have a chance."

Zhang Yu and Yang Qing exchanged a glance, a hint of hesitation on their faces.

They knew it was dishonorable to bully the few with the many, but Qin An's strength made them wary. In addition, Qin An's contempt for them made them disregard any sense of chivalry.

"Alright! Qin An, you said it yourself, don't regret it!" Zhang Yu shouted angrily, and together with Yang Qing, they picked up their spears, spurred their horses, and joined the battle.

In an instant, the three surrounded Qin An, their spears and halberds flashing, and the battle became extremely fierce.

However, even when surrounded by three people, Qin An remained calm and composed.

He wielded his halberd with impenetrable skill, sometimes sweeping and powerful, sometimes unpredictable and cunning, making it impossible to defend against.

The addition of Zhang Yu and Yang Qing did not bring them any advantage; instead, they were overwhelmed by Qin An's imposing presence.

Qin An fought against three opponents single-handedly, yet he held his own and gradually gained the upper hand, forcing the three to retreat repeatedly in perilous situations.

Wang Bo, watching the fierce battle below from the city wall, grew increasingly grim.

He hadn't expected Qin An to be so powerful, able to gain the upper hand against three opponents, and couldn't help but feel a little worried about the upcoming battle.

The battle continued beneath the city walls. Qin An's ferocity instilled fear in all the rebel soldiers, while the government troops were greatly encouraged, their shouts of encouragement ringing out.
