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

Qin An and Lin Bao engaged in a fierce and back-and-forth battle.

Lin Bao did indeed unleash his full strength, a rare occurrence, and his combat power was even comparable to that of Lu Lin back then.

Unfortunately, even Lu Lin was no match for Qin An. True strength cannot be compensated for by a momentary burst of power.

After thirty rounds of fighting, Lin Bao gradually ran out of energy, and his marksmanship became erratic.

Qin An seized the opportunity, and with a flick of his halberd, knocked the spear out of Lin Bao's hand.

Since the other party had already realized the situation, Qin An had no intention of showing any mercy.

With a single sweep of his halberd, he utterly beheaded Lin Bao.

Having dealt with Lin Bao, Qin An shouted, "Take the city gate!"

The government cavalry swarmed forward and quickly wiped out the rebels at the city gate, firmly controlling the gate.

Qin An ordered Luo Sheng to stay behind with his men to take over the city gate and receive the subsequent army entering the city.

Without delay, he personally led his main force to charge into the city, rampaging through Qishan City.

The rebel soldiers they encountered along the way either fled at the mere sight of them or knelt down to surrender, proving utterly ineffective. The cavalry swept through the land as if it were empty.

Soon, they arrived near Wang Bo's residence.

The battlefield here is incredibly brutal.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the corpses piled up like mountains and the blood flowed like rivers.

Meanwhile, the fire inside the mansion was nearing its end.

Although Song Yu and Wu Zhi had the upper hand, they also suffered heavy losses because of Wang Bo's side and the presence of Yang Qing, a formidable general.

He had very few soldiers left.

Upon seeing Qin An leading a large contingent of government troops charging towards them, Wang Bo's face turned ashen.

He knew he was completely finished, and turned to run away.

"Wang Bo, where do you think you're going!" Qin An shouted, urging his horse to give chase.

"Yang Qing, save me!" Wang Bo shouted.

Yang Qing hesitated slightly.

To be honest, at this point, he was actually considering surrendering.

After all, the tide had turned, and the fall of the city was inevitable.

Unlike Lin Bao, he did not have any mortal enemies in the imperial court.

However, there was a huge conflict between him and Song Yu.

This is why, despite his desire to be recruited by the government, he still stood on Wang Bo's side and fought fiercely against Song Yu.

Now that Song Yu has clearly sided with the imperial court, he is deeply reluctant to work with Song Yu again.

Many thoughts flashed through Yang Qing's mind in an instant, but he immediately stopped thinking about it.

He took a deep breath, and without saying a word, he attacked Qin An.

Seeing how stubborn they were, Qin An no longer held back.

Soon, Yang Qing followed in Lin Bao's footsteps.

As a result, the strongmen of the Qishan rebels were almost completely wiped out.

After dealing with Yang Qing, Qin An didn't waste any time and continued to pursue Wang Bo.

Although Yang Qing's obstruction bought him some time.

The scene was so chaotic that it was impossible to move.

Qin An quickly caught up with them.

The halberd seemed to have eyes, piercing Wang Bo's back with pinpoint accuracy.

Wang Bo screamed and collapsed to the ground, falling silent once more.

Upon seeing Wang Bo killed, the remaining rebel soldiers completely lost the courage to resist and surrendered one after another.

Upon seeing this, Song Yu and Wu Zhi were overjoyed and quickly stepped forward, cupping their hands in greeting to Qin An, saying, "Captain Qin, we have assisted the court in suppressing the rebels. We hope that you will report our merits to the court."

Qin An looked at them expressionlessly: "Your contributions certainly shouldn't be taken for granted, but now is not the time to discuss that. The most urgent task is to wipe out the remaining rebel forces!"

Upon hearing Qin An's words, the two were overjoyed.

They believed that wealth and glory were within their grasp, easily attainable. Upon hearing Qin An's words, the two became extremely eager.

To demonstrate their loyalty to the court, they disregarded their injuries and went to the battlefield again, fighting the rebels with even greater ferocity than the government troops.

With Wang Bo dead, the rebels lost all will to fight and fled in all directions.

This caused great chaos throughout the entire city of Qishan.

Just as Song Yu and Wu Zhi were clearing out the remaining rebel forces amidst the chaos, two arrows shot out from nowhere and accurately struck the two men in the chest.

The arrows were so powerful that they pierced right through them.

"Ah!" Song Yu and Wu Zhi cried out in pain, looking down in disbelief at the arrows in their chests, their eyes filled with resentment and confusion.

They died without ever understanding who killed them.

Qin An did not react much to the murder of Song Yu and Wu Zhi, two meritorious officials.

He simply retrieved two arrows from the two corpses: "Drag their bodies down and bury them hastily."

The soldiers obeyed and dragged away the bodies of Song Yu and Wu Zhi.

Clearly, he had no sympathy whatsoever for these two fickle and despicable men.

……

While dealing with the rebel leader in Qin'an, Zhang Xu led his large army into Qishan City.

After the army entered the city, the rebel forces inside were quickly wiped out.

Some died, some surrendered.

The once formidable Qishan rebels have finally come to an end.

However, Qishan City did not return to peace after the arrival of the government troops.

Instead, a new chaos is unfolding.

The government troops and soldiers were exhausted after a long siege and battle.

Now that they have breached the city walls and entered, their eyes turn red with greed upon seeing the wealth and women within.

They disregarded military discipline, looting, burning, killing, raping, and committing all sorts of atrocities.

The cries of the people were deafening, and the entire city of Qishan was plunged into misery.

Faced with this situation, the generals, including Qin An, remained completely unmoved and turned a blind eye.

It could even be said that this was something they deliberately condoned.

It took more than half a year, including the march, to wipe out this rebel army in Qishan.

The soldiers had been under immense pressure during their long military service.

Now, it is thanks to the hard work of many soldiers that we were able to quickly defeat the rebels in Qishan and make great contributions. It is only right that we enjoy ourselves.

A little leniency can also better soothe the morale of the troops.

Under such circumstances, the chaos that ensued in the entire Qishan City was predictable.

The families of those rebels suffered a terrible fate.

Especially the women, those with even a little bit of beauty, were all taken advantage of.

Of course, according to the unwritten rules of the military, those extremely attractive female relatives naturally belong to high-ranking military officers.

Qin An was no exception.

When distributing the spoils of war, Han Quan led a stunningly beautiful woman to Qin An.

"Captain, this is your spoils of war. This woman is the sister-in-law of Wu Xing, one of the bandit leaders. She is arguably the most charming woman in Qishan City."

"General Zhang specially reserved this for you because of your outstanding military achievements; the other generals are extremely envious!"
