The man quickly dodged, but continued to shout:
"You little brat, you've started hitting me!"
The tall soldier didn't say anything, but kept throwing punches, each aimed straight for the man's mouth.
"You son of a bitch! You think I'm afraid of you?!"
The verbal argument gradually escalated into a physical fight, and the two men, enraged, began to brawl.
Until a loud shout came:
"What are you doing?!"
"If you want to fight, fight the rebels! Why fight your own people?"
"If you strike again, you will be court-martialed!"
This authoritative shout immediately brought the two to their senses, and they quickly separated.
"If the situation weren't so urgent, I would have cut off your heads!"
"With a formidable enemy at hand, they're still fighting amongst themselves!"
The two dared not retort, but simply lowered their heads and covered their faces or mouths where they had been slapped.
"Hurry up! The rebels are still chasing us!"
"Hurry to Huichang! The General Zhenguo is preparing for war there!"
"We're just using a strategic retreat as a means to advance!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man rode away on his horse.

Inside Huichang City.
Kim Geon-in's face turned ashen as he watched the messengers rushing to deliver the message.
But this time, surprisingly, he didn't fly into a rage.

Jin Ming, standing to the side, had a fierce expression on his face. He clenched his fist and said sternly:
"And us too!"
"If we're in this city, we'll kill the rebels the moment they come!!"
Jin Jianren glanced at him and nodded silently.
But suddenly, an inexplicable feeling arose in my mind.
This feeling made his eyelids twitch.
Having fought on the battlefield for many years, Jin Jianren understood that this was his body's instinctive reaction when danger came.
The Zhongnan Pass was breached far too quickly, which suggests that the rebels are still extremely powerful.
And this means...
Just then, Jin Ming's encouraging voice interrupted his thoughts.
"General! We are fully prepared!"
"Our troops are all in this city, and the defenses on the city walls are ready. In this battle, we will fight with all our might!"
"Once the rebels are defeated, General, our grand ambitions will be realized!!!"
There was not a trace of fear in Jin Ming's eyes; on the contrary, she was unusually excited.
His enthusiasm inspired the other generals, and they all cast their admiring glances at Kim Geon-in.
Under that burning gaze, Kim Geon-in's thoughts came to an abrupt halt.
And this made Kim Geon-in understand.
