Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Nan Hua was speechless.

While it was true that Wu Shan led so many people, they had been participating in countless battles against other tribes. They all have much more experience when it came to battle as an army compared to her.

"Do you trust me that much, Jin Jie?"

"Mhm. I don't think that you'll come to me if you don't have any confidence." Yu Jin grinned. "Aren't you busy practicing to lead a lot of soldiers for the past few weeks? I'm sure that you should have seen the difference between leading soldiers and fighting on your own."

"Yes."

Nan Hua had experienced it. Even though the number of soldiers under Nan Luo was naturally not as many as the soldiers Yu Jin handed over to her, they had served to be a good practice.

She just had to make sure that she could watch over this number of soldiers.

Before becoming a general, the highest ranked commander was a 5,000 men commander.

Yu Jin looked at Nan Hua deeply and shook her head. "I never heard of anyone under the name Jun Hua on the battlefield recently. I guess you must have used another name that make it hard for me to find you. Anyway, if you don't want too many soldiers, I can reduce the number."

"It's fine."

5,000 soldiers.

Nan Hua would just make sure that she would be able to lead that many soldiers. Even if they were only lent to her for the sake of this battle, she would make sure that she would be able to do it well.

"Okay, here are the names of the 1,000 men commander from the 5,000 soldiers I'm going to lend you. They're all god people, but you might need to convince them to follow your order if you give strange order."

"Got it."

Looking at the list of the names, Nan Hua memorized them.

Afterwards, she went outside to get to know these five. They were all rowdy people who were used to work under Yu Jin. Even though they didn't really like the idea of following someone else's order, they still agreed.

Nan Hua knew very well that if she wanted to become a real general, she would have to work hard on her own to build her soldiers from the very bottom. What she had done so far was simply borrowing here and there.

'I don't have any plan on becoming a general in the first place.'

There were already a lot of capable commanders and generals in Fei Yang Kingdom. Nan Hua didn't think that they would need another one. She would rather continue in her expertise to make sure that she would be able to use her advantage to the fullest.

The night passed quietly.

The next day, Nan Hua looked at the armor that Yu Jin prepared for her.

"You can't just wear loose robe like you used to wear. And don't say that an arm guard is enough." Yu Jin glanced at Nan Hua sternly.

"I know, but Jin Jie, your size is bigger than me."

"That's the smallest I have! It should fit you just right." Yu Jin's face flushed slightly. She didn't really have any armor at Nan Hua's size, so she had to pick the one she used back when she was younger.

At that time, she was smaller and shorter than now.

Nan Hua looked at the armor and tried it on. It would cover her chest and shoulder, protecting here where she should be protected.

She actually had her own armor that she used when she was acting as Nan. However, it would definitely give away that she was from Nan Family. Because of that Nan Hua always leave it behind with Nan Luo and only wore it when she wanted to participate in the battle with him.

"Does it fit?" Yu Jin asked.

"Mhm."

"That's good." Yu Jin grinned and pointed at the front. "Now, it's time for us to shake the battlefield!"

"Yes."

Nan Hua came out and looked at the sea of soldiers in front of her. This would be the first time she formally be the main leader of an army. Previously, she would always be the supporting one who helped from the back.

The two of them went to different direction.

Yu Jin would focus on the left while Nan Hua would be on the right. However, Nan Hua would only start attacking when Yu Jin gave the signal. Before that, she would follow the same pace as Yu Jin and the others.

"Ready for the battle?" Yu Jin shouted. Her eyes were filled with fiery rage. She wanted to destroy Prime Minister Lei and the entirety of his soldiers after what they had put her through.

"LET'S DYE THE GROUND RED WITH BLOOD!"

"UOOOOOOOOO!"

Amidst the falling snow, the soldiers rush forward as fast as it was possible for them. Neither one of them dared to slack off as they ran as fast as possible.

"Charge!" the people from Zhang Xu Kingdom also shouted loudly as their soldiers also began to run.

The two armies were running towards each other.

"Uoooo!"

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The two armies crashed against each other, sending some unfortunate soldiers who were at the very front flying due to the impact. The battle officially started and they began to kill their enemies.

The soldiers were all mostly following Yu Jin's lead, causing their formation to shape like that of an arrow. They were all trying to penetrate even deeper towards Zhang Xu Kingdom's lines.

"KEEP ON CHARGING!" Yu Jin yelled.

"UOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Amidst the shouts and sounds of metal clashing, Nan Hua saw Yu Jin raised the flag. In that moment, she shouted, "Maintain formation!"

It took them some time before they could reach deeper into the lines. And in the meantime, Nan Hua took the chance to defeat some other commanders who crossed against her path.

Most of the soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom were aiming towards where Yu Jin was located. Considering that she was the current highest priority, it was not that strange for them to rush over in her direction.
