If this so-called General Yue cannot be used by him, then there is only one possible fate.

That is death!

After speaking, he turned his gaze and looked at Dong Sheng again.

"How about you? How's it going?"

Dong Sheng: "Everything is ready."

He had already arranged everything and was following Qi Heng's lead in forcing the emperor to abdicate.

He was only outwardly fierce but inwardly weak when facing Gu Qian.

What good is anger? For the sake of their family's livelihood and lives, they have been forced into a corner by Gu Qian and have no other choice.

"Okay!" Gu Qian nodded.

He said in a deep voice,

"Set off!"

Qi Heng, Shangguan Hong, and Dong Sheng embarked on a path of no return.

Qi capital city wall

Below the city gate,

General Liang was bound hand and foot by Captain Qin and thrown to the ground in a sorry state, his face flushed with anger.

Not far away, Commandant Qin sat high on his horse, looking down at his soldiers who were laxly attacking the city.

Gunpowder was powerful, but their quantity was limited.

The barrage of artillery fire just now cost the Northern Qi army a full 30% of its strength and wasted a large amount of their gunpowder.

Why didn't they use gunpowder to attack the city?

Because General Gu instructed that the city gates should be attacked only after he arrived.

They have already dealt a blow to the main force of the Northern Qi enemy, so why are they afraid that they cannot capture the capital of Qi?

It should be noted that the enemy army from Northern Qi just now numbered a full 300,000.

The once smooth road now has several large, uneven, black potholes.

Within a radius of two or three miles, thick smoke billowed from the area, emanating a stench of blood.

The Northern Qi enemy troops, who were fiercely attacked by Qin Xiaowei and others with cannon fire, were either killed, maimed, or on the verge of death.

The other part of the enemy troops, who were unharmed, naturally fled to avoid being attacked by fire again.

At this moment, Feng Qi was personally leading 50,000 soldiers in pursuit of the fleeing Northern Qi enemy forces.

Because of the earlier artillery fire, the Northern Qi soldiers thought they were about to be bombarded again, and their faces turned pale as they ran as fast as they could.

The enemy troops panicked and scattered.

Finally, due to the artillery fire, the remaining 200,000 enemy troops were reduced by another 30%.

They stumbled and fell, and in the end, only a little over 100,000 troops remained.

Just as they ran into a thicket of bushes, thinking they had finally found a hiding place,

Unexpectedly, they saw the location ahead...

Xiao Ke and Xiao Han were followed by a group of Western Qin soldiers who blocked their way horizontally.

Those men, by sight, numbered about 20,000.

The remaining Northern Qi soldiers were already terrified of gunpowder.

"We surrender, we surrender."

Feng Qi froze when she saw Xiao Ke and Xiao Han from afar.

Your Highness, Your Highness has arrived too?

She was both surprised and delighted, and hurriedly looked around.

But there was no trace of His Highness anywhere in the surrounding area.

Perhaps His Highness did not come.

After all, his health is not suitable for long-distance travel.

Xiao Ke and Xiao Han also saw Feng Qi.

The three people, who were in a critical moment, exchanged only one glance with each other.

then,

Feng Qi pulled on the reins with one hand and waved to the soldiers behind him, signaling them to retreat.

She retreated as well, handing over the enemy troops to Xiao Ke and Xiao Han.

Although the enemy forces were numerous, they were leaderless and terrified.

Thinking about the fall of the city, she said goodbye to Xiao Ke and Xiao Han with her eyes, turned around, and left quickly.

She thought that His Highness, as well as Xiao Ke and Xiao Han, must have been misunderstanding her all along.

She didn't want His Highness to misunderstand and was eager to explain to him.

However, now is not the time.

How could she be absent from the fall of the Northern Qi dynasty?

Then there's the city wall of Qi capital.

The Qi commander is still fighting valiantly to defend the city.

Qin Xiaowei's attack on the city at this moment was merely a pretense.

Because he was waiting, waiting for the general to appear.

He was anxiously waiting.

General Gu, why haven't you arrived yet?

If you don't come soon, I'm really going to attack the city gate.

If we run out of gunpowder, don't blame me.
