"Then wipe them out."
Upon hearing this, Qin Hongyu gave a cold laugh: "Our righteous army has more than 10,000 people. You think you can wipe out more than 10,000 of us with just a few hundred people? That's just wishful thinking."
"Xiang Yu, show them what it means for one general's success to be built on the bones of ten thousand."
Soon, the sound of attack horns rang out from the city wall.
Xiang Yu pointed his spear, the Overlord Spear, towards the sky: "Warriors, follow me into battle to defeat the traitors."
"Today is the day to make a name for yourself and achieve great things."
Xiang Yu led 500 cavalrymen down the city wall.
They wore bright armor and carried horse-slaying swords.
The weapons and armor gleamed in the sunlight.
"Mount up..." Xiang Yu roared.
Everyone mounted their horses in unison, their movements synchronized and showing they were well-trained.
Xiang Yu pointed his spear, the Overlord Spear, forward sharply: "Open the door and follow me out."
With a command given, the city gates slowly opened.
Xiang Yu charged ahead at the forefront.
Five hundred elite cavalrymen surged out of the city gate like a swarm of locusts crossing a river.
The people outside the city hadn't reacted yet.
Xiang Yu rushed up to them.
"Get out of the way, or you will be killed without mercy!" Xiang Yu roared, his voice booming like a bell, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.
These 500 cavalrymen followed Xiang Yu and quickly advanced forward.
These people weren't stupid; when they saw Xiang Yu leading his men charging towards them, they all scattered and tried to get away.
The rebels mixed among the common people were terrified when they saw Xiang Yu's cavalry, who looked so imposing.
Just as the 500 cavalrymen charged out, the city gate slowly closed behind them.
It was impossible for the rebel army outside the city to prevent the people from entering.
Xiang Yu sped along at breakneck speed, heading straight for the rebel army's camp.
As dawn broke, the rebels had already begun preparing their meals.
Seeing Xiang Yu's 500 men heading straight for the rebel camp, Qin Hongyu became anxious.
When Qin Hongyu saw that all 500 cavalrymen were riding Ferghana horses, and that their sturdy armor and cold-blooded sabers were impressive, she was amazed.
Qin Hongyu then realized what a true kingly and domineering army was.
Compared to Xiang Yu's elite cavalry, their rebel army was nothing but a rabble.
Qin Hongyu panicked instantly.
She had never seen anyone as tall and imposing as Xiang Yu.
Qin Hongyu also knew the principle that one should not take on a job beyond one's capabilities.
The fact that Xiang Yu dared to charge their rebel army camp with only 500 cavalrymen shows that he indeed had such ability.
"Young Master Jiang Tian, please be lenient and clear your name."
Jiang Tian completely ignored the woman.
Qin Hongyu repeated herself several times, but Jiang Tian still ignored her. He shaded his eyes with his hand and roared at the people below the tower: "You exiled people, as long as you submit to me, Jiang Tian, I guarantee you will have enough to eat and drink."
"Otherwise, you will all face certain death."
Qin Hongyu glanced at Fairy Miaomiao, who quickly walked up to her.
"Sister, there are two of us brothers in the rebel camp. If anything happens to them..."
The fairy became anxious upon hearing this.
The siblings had always relied on each other for survival.
If Qin Weigong and Qin Weimin had died under the iron hooves of Xiang Yu's army, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Fairy Miaomiao quickly walked up to Jiang Tian and knelt down with a thud: "Young master, please be merciful and do not attack the rebel army."
Why?
“Our two sisters’ brothers are in the military camp. I don’t want them to die tragically in the camp.”
Jiang Tian walked up to Qin Hongyu: "What? Are you scared now? Don't you like to say that one general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand soldiers?"
In this battle, Xiang Yu must have killed ten thousand rebel soldiers.
"Young master, I was wrong. I beg you to retract your order and have General Xiang withdraw."
Jiang Tian snorted coldly: "You call yourself a commander? Military orders are like mountains, how can you change them every day?"
"If you order the retreat, General Xia will surely lead his troops back," Qin Hongyu pleaded. "As long as you order the police to withdraw, I will do anything you ask."
Jiang Tian pointed forward: "General Xiang is as immovable as a mountain, yet moves like thunder. His army has already charged more than ten miles ahead."
Even if I wanted to call it quits, they wouldn't hear me.
Upon hearing this, Qin Hongyu turned pale: "Can you think of a way?"
"War is no child's play. From the moment you stepped into Dragon City, you should have foreseen today's outcome."
Both Qin Hongyu and Qin Hongniang collapsed to the ground.
Jiang Tian opened the system store.
He found a simple loudspeaker.
This type of speaker can amplify one's voice several times over.
Without hesitation, Jiang Tian exchanged the loudspeaker, stood on the city wall, and continued to shout at the people below the city wall: "Listen up, you people below the city wall!"
How did you get here? You know the answer in your hearts.
Don't let those rebels use you as a pawn.
They will only take your lives.
"Follow me, and I, Jiang Tian, swear to the heavens, I will ensure you have enough to eat and wear."
Upon hearing this, the people below the city gate all looked up at Jiang Tian.
"If you want to survive, line up properly. An hour later, when the general returns in triumph, I will arrange for the soldiers to receive their rations."
"Everyone who can line up properly will receive one pound of millet per day."
"Anyone who dares to plot anything will be killed without mercy."
Jiang Tian held the large wooden megaphone and shouted down for more than ten minutes.
