Behind the main army, Qin Ze coldly observed the one-sided situation on the battlefield.
The counterattack from the city walls of Huichang had almost completely vanished, and the cavalrymen who had left the city were now showing signs of defeat.
In this great battle, the troops in Huichang City were commanded by Jin Jianren. Now that the battle has reached this point, Jin Jianren has still not shown up, which makes Qin Ze frown.
Since I have brought so many troops with me this time, and Jin Jianren is in Huichang, I must capture him no matter what.
Then, he shouted:
"Come! Propagate my order!"
"Follow me into the city and capture Kim Geon-in!"
"Li Jing will deal with the remaining defeated troops here!"
Meanwhile, the fighting continued, but Qin Ze ignored it. He led a cavalry unit straight into the center of the battlefield and headed straight for the city gate!
But this action also provoked an even fiercer counterattack from the remaining soldiers, who desperately tried to stop him.
but--
With superior numbers, our forces have already cleared a path, and anyone who tries to stop us is ruthlessly slaughtered by our soldiers.
At this moment, the city gate of Huichang is now a scene of broken walls and ruins. Even the beacon tower has been destroyed by huge rocks, with only wisps of smoke rising from it.
Amidst a hail of arrows and a battlefield stained with blood and sweat, Qin Ze, leading several generals and his cavalry, swept across the battlefield with unstoppable momentum!
With a loud neighing of horses, the crowd rushed through the city gates and into the city!
Upon entering the city, Qin Ze's eyes narrowed as he looked at the scene before him.
Immediately, his face twitched, his complexion gradually turned red, and his sharp eyes seemed to spit fire.
Then, a loud laugh filled with rage burst from Qin Ze's mouth:
"Hahahahahaha!!"
"As expected of you, Kim Gun-in!!!"
"After all these years, you're still the same shameless person I know! Hahahaha!"
Amidst the laughter, the anger burning within Qin Ze intensified, and the laughter grew increasingly manic.
Then, with a furious expression, he roared:
"Prepare my Fiery Wind-Breaking Halberd!! I want to kill this man with my own hands!"
"Go! Catch up with him!!!"
With a roar, Qin Ze led his troops forward at breakneck speed.
Xu Chu, who was standing beside him, looked at Qin Ze's angry face, but a sense of worry rose in his heart.
Since I began following my lord, I have never seen him personally fight the enemy, so I do not know how skilled he is in martial arts.
Never mind, I'll have to be more alert once I catch up.
He muttered to himself, then gazed ahead again, where the place was now completely empty.

"Brother, what does this mean?!"
"Didn't we say we'd launch a surprise attack after Jin Tai and Jin Yuan?"
"Why are you leading us to the south of the city?! Isn't this taking us further and further away from them?!"
On the road heading south of the city, Jin Ming, riding a galloping warhorse, looked at Jin Jianren beside him with a puzzled expression.
Kim Geon-in's face was terribly gloomy, but he kept his lips tightly closed and didn't say a word.
"Brother? Are you planning to lead us out of the south gate of the city, then circle around and cut in from behind the rebels?"
"But...but this is too far! There's no way we can make it in time!" Jin Ming said anxiously, still asking questions.
Jin Jianren remained silent, only pounding his horse's belly to urge it to gallop.
Behind the two men were Kim Geon-in's personal guards, his most powerful troops, though few in number, they were formidable in combat.
Amidst the swirling dust, Jin Jianren's silence caused Jin Ming's expression to slowly shift from confusion to astonishment, and a hint of apprehension.
Despite his desperate attempts to make amends for the person in front of him, an answer he had never considered had quietly appeared in his mind.
"Big brother, are you going to take us away from Huichang?" Jin Ming's face began to turn pale.
His question remained unanswered, and Kim Geon-in's expression grew increasingly grim.
"Big brother, say something."
"Are you going to lead us away from Huichang? Our brothers are still behind us!"
Jin Ming suddenly raised her voice, but her voice trembled slightly.
After that sound, he finally received an answer.
That was a sound uttered with suppressed anger:
"Shut up! Just come with me!"
Jin Ming's face turned completely pale. He spurred his horse forward, approached Jin Jianren, grabbed his arm, and shouted:
"Why?! Why?!"
"Didn't we agree that Kim Tae-jin would go and fight the rebels head-on, and then we would launch a surprise attack from the flank to decapitate the traitors?"
"Why are you leaving! Why are you fleeing Huichang!"
“If we leave, what will happen to them? The Kim brothers are still fighting the rebels! The other brothers are still fighting too!”
Jin Jianren abruptly pushed his hand away, turned his head, and said in a deep voice:
"We can't kill the traitors. The traitors have too many soldiers. To get close and kill them is harder than climbing to heaven."
Jin Ming looked completely bewildered and shouted:
"How could this be?! How could this be?!"
"Give it a try, there's definitely a chance! Brother, you said it yourself!"
"If we don't fight this way, how else can we fight?"
"Brother, this is the tactic you proposed!"
Jin Jianren shook his head and said coldly:
"Wake up, Jin Ming. I said, if we can't kill him, we can't kill him."
"This is almost certainly a death sentence; if you go, the only outcome will be death."
"That's why I'm having you come with me! Do you understand?!"
Jin Ming could hardly believe what he was hearing. His eyes widened, and his eyes gradually reddened. For the first time in his life, he shouted a rebuttal in front of Jin Jianren.
"I don't understand! I don't understand, brother!"
"Since you say it's suicide, why did you even arrange this tactic?"
"Everyone risked their lives to kill the traitor, wasn't that a pointless death?! Brother, why did you send your brothers to their deaths?!"
Kim Geon-in didn't turn his head; he stared straight ahead, his voice as cold as ice.
"Without them holding back the rebels, no one can survive."
"We shouldn't have come to Huichang in the first place. This place... is indeed an ominous place."
As these words fell, Jin Ming's face drained of all color. He trembled uncontrollably and roared excitedly:
"contain?!"
"Brother...you're sending the brothers to hold off the rebels so we can leave Huichang safely?!"
"Brother, how could you do this! We just got married..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jin Jianren rode his horse closer to him, placed his hand on Jin Ming's shoulder, and said in a deep voice:
“Jin Ming, you’ve been with me since you were little. Compared to you, my younger brother is not even as good as you.”
"Trust me, my decision won't be wrong."
“Without them holding back the rebels, we would all die. Only by holding back the rebels can we buy some time to leave Huichang.”
