It's not knohen the Zhao army finally retreated It's also unknohen the ca Maybe, it was after the Qin infantry successfully attacked the Zhao rear

Afterward, the Zhao army receded in a disorderly rout The initial momentum dissolved into e of the confusion and launched a counterattack of their own Under the pincer attack, the Zhao ar into the cover of the forest

The sky was already dark

The soldiers above the walls only felt as if their arms were numb to all senses The dark armor was coated in blood, indiscernible whether it was theirs or the enemy's

The bodies were strewn in piles severalramp-like hills The thick blood seeped into the land and conta collapsed in exhaustion, kneeling even atop pools of blood and flesh They gasped loudly and greedily breathed the air

“Eugh” In a pile of dead bodies, a corpse was pushed upwards The wet blood froashed neck spilled out onto the person underneath

Gu Nan held her spear in one hand heaved away the corpse with the other hand, allowing black-colored blood to flon her hair and armor

“Ha, ha, ha, ha…”

Gu Nan's throat dry and crackled Three arrows stuck out of her body Neither side's archers needed to aim In such a densely-packed place, an arroas bound to hit so arrows, rabbed a dead soldier and hid herself underneath, narrowly avoiding the calamity

She took three arrows in total, one to her left shoulder, one to her waist and one to her thigh A the defenders, there was perhaps no one without injuries Even her wounds were considered light

It's painful If it was any other ti, but she was too exhausted to muster a sound

The Zhao have retreated

I'm… not dead yet?

Gu Nan looked around, but the blood in her eyes blurred her vision

A bitter s me I'et this ghastly place?

She turned to seven or eight dead bodies hunched against the corner, a bright red pool of blood for Her eyes lowered in rumination

Is this the true face of this troubled world?…

Truly, people are less than dogs…
