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

"They've arrived as expected. There seem to be quite a few of them, but unfortunately, they're all just a rabble."

Looking at the reinforcements in front of him, Qin An instantly revealed a cold smile.

In that case, my long wait here will not have been in vain.

Now that reinforcements had arrived, Qin An didn't bother with formalities and immediately gave orders to his men.

"Once they're all inside the canyon, heed my command and charge with all your might! We must crush them in one battle!"

"yes!"

As the reinforcements gradually entered the canyon, several Bai Ji generals were leading the way, chatting and laughing, clearly unaware of the impending danger.

As the last soldier entered the canyon, Qin An suddenly drew his iron spear and shouted, "Kill!"

"kill!"

Eight hundred cavalrymen descended like divine soldiers, charging directly on their warhorses.

The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, instantly scattering the reinforcements' formation even further.

Soon, the cavalry came into view.

By the time these Baiji reinforcements tried to stop the resistance, it was already too late.

Once the cavalry charged, they were simply no match for these ragtag soldiers.

Qin An took the lead, brandishing his iron spear and sending a Bai Ji general flying. He then charged into the crowd as if it were empty.

Every time he swung his iron spear, blood splattered and screams rose and fell.

Although these reinforcements were elite troops drawn from various cities, that was only relatively speaking.

They're only slightly better than a rabble.

Even though they were numerous, most of them were infantry, and they were caught off guard and unable to withstand the cavalry charge.

They fled backwards, only to be blocked by the narrow passage, trampling each other and causing countless deaths and injuries.

Qin An got carried away with the killing, sweeping his iron spear across the ground and knocking down a group of soldiers.

In a short period of time, countless people died under his iron spear.

Such a fierce display terrified a group of Baiji soldiers, shattering their morale.

Just then, he felt something shatter within him, and a powerful force surged through his entire body. Some unknown changes occurred within him.

However, Qin An, who was in the midst of battle, had no time to investigate further.

With this new strength, Qin An became even more valiant, and no one could stop him wherever his iron spear went.

He was like a tireless killing machine, constantly reaping the lives of Baekje soldiers!

During this time, the system seemed to emit a special notification sound.

But Qin An had no time to pay attention to that at the moment.

However, he could sense the changes within himself.

The iron spear in his hand seemed to become even more skillful, and his efficiency in killing enemies increased. As a result, Qin An had no idea how many people he had killed in this battle.

Half an hour later, the battle in the canyon gradually subsided.

More than 3,000 reinforcements were almost completely wiped out, with only a few managing to escape.

The ground was littered with corpses, and blood flowed slowly down the path, forming a small stream.

Qin An was panting heavily, his black armor stained with blood, and his iron spear dripping with blood, but his eyes remained sharp.

He glanced at the corpse on the ground, feeling no pity, only a sense of exhilaration.

"Clean up the battlefield, seize the warhorses and supplies, and immediately march towards Dagu City!" Qin An ordered.

The cavalrymen sprang into action, leading away the horses of the fallen Baiji soldiers and confiscating their weapons and belongings.

This ambush was very successful; they captured nearly a thousand warhorses alone, enough to make up for their previous losses.

At this moment, Qin An had no mind to pay attention to so many things, his mind was absorbed in the system.

[Host: Qin An]

Age: 18

【Strength: 101】

[Agility: 100]

[Physical Fitness: 103]

[Endurance: 105]

【Spirit: 90】

Commander-in-Chief: 100

[Skills: Intermediate Hunting, Intermediate Riding, Weapon Mastery (Advanced)]

Overall combat strength: 102

When Qin An saw that his combat power had exceeded 100, a smile instantly appeared on his face.

"No wonder I felt like I had changed during the battle. Could it be that my combat power broke through 100, causing a qualitative change?" he muttered to himself.

He now knows that in this world, the combat power limit for an ordinary person is 100.

Those who can score over 100 are all exceptionally gifted geniuses.

It's normal that my combat power has now broken through this limit and I have undergone a qualitative change.

However, when Qin An saw his skill level, his pupils instantly contracted.

"Weapon Mastery (Advanced)?"

Upon seeing this skill, Qin An quickly checked its status.

The next moment, Qin An couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

"What a weapon mastery! This means I can quickly master any weapon and reach an advanced level. I've really hit the jackpot this time, haha..."

He never expected that such a divine skill would be revealed in this battle.

I quickly checked the system logs.

[Congratulations, host! You have achieved the "Hundred-Man Kill" achievement and gained the skill: Weapon Mastery (Advanced)]

"A hundred-man kill? You achieved that so quickly!"

Upon seeing the words "hundred-man slayer," Qin An was momentarily lost in thought.

In another account, the official history records only four generals who were said to have killed a hundred men.

But now, he has achieved such an accomplishment with ease.

However, Qin An shook his head when he thought about the situation in the world he was in.

"A hundred-man kill is nothing compared to the pinnacle of this world. I can't afford to get carried away!"

After adjusting his mindset, Qin An stopped thinking about it.

Seeing that the battlefield was almost cleaned up, he immediately led his troops on another journey.

……

An hour later, Qin An led his cavalry to Dagu City.

The garrison of Ōtani Castle had clearly received news of the annihilation of the reinforcements; the city gates were tightly closed, and the walls were covered with soldiers, making the defense extremely tight.

"It seems they're already on guard," Luo Sheng frowned. "Should we rest for a bit before figuring out a solution?"

Qin An shook his head: "The more defensive they are, the more afraid they are. Pass down the order: attack the city immediately!"

"But we don't have many siege weapons," Luo Sheng said, puzzled.

"No siege equipment needed." Qin An smiled slightly, took a bow from his back, and took out a few arrows. "You guys are in charge of setting up ladders to attract their attention. I'll give them some fun."

Although he didn't understand, Luo Sheng still did as Qin An asked.

Now, the entire team has complete faith in Qin An.

What he says goes.

As cavalry, they carried relatively few supplies for siege warfare.

But ladders do exist.

It only requires a simple assembly.

Once everything was ready, Qin An immediately ordered the attack on the city.

He himself walked to a high ground a hundred paces away from the city wall, just outside the range of the defenders' arrows.
