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

With just one glance, Qin An could tell that although Daxing's situation seemed unfavorable, they had always maintained the initiative.

If this trend continues, Daxing will ultimately be the victor.

"The person commanding this army in Daxing is probably a very capable individual!"

Qin An couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing this, Han Quan asked, puzzled, "Is there any explanation for this?"

"In the grand scheme of things, a temporary advantage is nothing; we must consider the overall picture! Our troops may appear to be at a disadvantage, but upon closer inspection, there is no sign of chaos. This indicates that the situation is still under the commander's control!"

"In contrast, the Baekje army, despite its superior numbers, suffered increasing casualties and gradually fell into disarray, completely being led by the nose!"

Having served in the army for half a year, Qin An has come to deeply understand that while individual ability is important on the battlefield, teamwork is also indispensable.

The higher you climb, the more support you need from those below.

As an old acquaintance, he didn't mind giving Han Quan, his older brother, some pointers.

Han Quan's eyes widened immediately as he stared intently at the entire battlefield, discovering that it was indeed different from what Qin An had described.

"I see! It seems they really don't need our help."

Qin An shook his head: "No, it's precisely at times like these that we should take action!"

Everyone around looked puzzled.

"If things continue like this, they can indeed defeat the Baekje army, but the longer it drags on, the greater the casualties will be!" Qin An said calmly, his words carrying a hidden meaning: "Since it's a sure victory, we can't miss this opportunity!"

Everyone suddenly realized that this was practically like getting the war merits for free.

Realizing this, everyone became somewhat excited.

After glancing at the carnage on the battlefield and then at his own forces, Han Quan felt a little uneasy: "Are these enough men?"

Qin An had clearly decided to take action, so naturally he wouldn't hide anything.

"Look there." He pointed to the left flank of the Baekje army. "Because they were eager to break through the Daehung army's formation, they concentrated most of their forces on the front and right flank, leaving the left flank extremely vulnerable. Even the reserves have been moved away."

Han Quan looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, the left flank of the Baekje army had only a few hundred men, most of whom were old, weak and disabled.

"you mean……"

"Break through their left flank and strike at their heart!" A glint of light flashed in Qin An's eyes. "The Baekje commander is on the high platform behind their left flank. If we kill him or drive him away, this Baekje army will surely be thrown into chaos."

"Captain, can we really get through?" Wang Hu was still a little worried.

Their cavalry squad was considered one of the elite units in the logistics department.

However, compared to true elites, they are still far from being good enough.

Putting aside everything else, a true cavalryman would at least ride two horses and have a number of auxiliary soldiers and attendants.

Unlike us, who roam freely on horseback.

"Whether it's possible or not, we'll only know by trying." Qin An gripped his iron spear tightly. "We are cavalry, the sharpest blades on the battlefield. We must draw our swords whenever we encounter the enemy; that's the true nature of us cavalry!"

He pulled on the reins and shouted, "Brothers, those ahead are our comrades from Daehyeong! They are bleeding and sacrificing themselves! Can we just stand by and watch them be wiped out by those Baekje traitors?"

"No!" the cavalrymen roared in unison, their morale soaring.

"Alright!" Qin An charged forward, "Follow me, charge! Kill!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Nearly a hundred cavalrymen charged down the hill like arrows released from a bow, heading straight for the left flank of the Baekje army.

The soldiers on the left wing of the Baekje army were still focused on the battle on the front when they suddenly heard the deafening sound of horses' hooves behind them.

Looking back, he saw a group of cavalrymen in simple armor charging towards him like tigers descending a mountain.

"Enemy attack!"

"Quickly, stop them!"

The Baekje soldiers panicked and quickly changed direction to try and defend themselves.

But most of them were old, weak and disabled soldiers, poorly equipped, how could they be a match for cavalry?

Qin An took the lead, wielding his iron spear like a windmill, leaving a trail of blood and flesh in his wake.

A Baekje soldier raised his shield to defend himself, but the man pierced the shield with his spear, pinning the soldier and shield to the ground.

Just as another archer was about to fire an arrow, he was swiftly struck by the spear and sent flying into the crowd with a scream.

"Kill!" The cavalry followed closely behind, forming a sharp arrowhead that tore open the left flank of the Baekje army's defenses.

The Baekje commander, seeing this from the high platform, was immediately alarmed: "What's going on? Where did these cavalry come from? Quickly, send your personal guards to stop them!"

His personal guards immediately drew their swords and rushed towards Qin An and the others.

These guards were the elite of Baekje, well-equipped and with considerable fighting power.

"Stop them!" the commander of the guards roared, brandishing his long sword and slashing at Qin An.

Qin An sneered, neither dodging nor avoiding, and thrust his iron spear directly into his chest.

The commander of the personal guards quickly parried with his sword, and with a clang, the sword was knocked out of his hand.

Before he could react, Qin An pierced his throat with a spear.

"Useless!" Qin An sneered, drew his spear, and knocked the body of the guard commander away before continuing to charge forward.

The guards panicked when they saw their commander killed.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qin An led his troops in a charge, advancing as if into an empty field, and quickly reached the vicinity of the high platform.

The Baekje commander was terrified and turned to run, yelling, "Quick, protect me as I retreat!"

Several guards rushed forward and blocked Qin An's path.

Qin An swung his iron spear and killed them all. He was about to catch up with the Baekje commander.

"Where do you think you're going!" Qin An roared, took the iron bow from his back, nocked an arrow, and aimed at the back of the Baekje commander.

He originally intended to shoot him dead with an arrow, but then he thought, what if he missed?

After all, even the most skilled archer cannot guarantee that they will hit a moving creature.

To be on the safe side, it would be better to shoot down his command flag first and disrupt his morale.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow flew like lightning, striking precisely the flag rope of the commander's banner.

The flag rope snapped, and the Baekje commander's flag crashed to the ground.

"Oh no, the commander's flag has fallen!"

"Has something happened to the Commander-in-Chief?"

The Baekje troops instinctively tried to find their commander.

I happened to witness the commander fleeing in a disheveled state.

"Damn it, the commander abandoned us and ran away!"

Many people subconsciously started shouting out their wares.

Instantly, the Baekje army was thrown into chaos, with soldiers turning around to look around, their morale plummeting.

With their commander-in-chief fleeing, the men below had no will to fight and were only thinking about escaping to save their lives.

On the battlefield, this is the situation that is most feared.

No matter how favorable the situation was before, if the trend of fleeing cannot be stopped, a complete rout will occur.

At this moment, Qin An had no interest in those miscellaneous soldiers; his eyes were only on the Baekje commander.

That arrow just now was enough to capture the flag. If I could also kill a general, I might be able to get promoted!
