.
The people in the city all left.
The scene was littered with corpses.
Several hundred civilians were killed by the guards of these princes and ministers.
None of the other people were willing to step forward.
Just then, a series of explosions came from the direction of the city gate.
All the people looked toward the city gate in a panic.
When they saw the city wall, they were all terrified and at a loss for what to do. The tens of meters high city wall was bombarded and collapsed one after another.
This is the city wall that they regarded as impregnable.
But this city wall, which they considered impregnable, was utterly vulnerable to artillery fire.
"Someone has broken in now."
"What does this mean? Has our garrison outside the city been completely wiped out?"
"That must be it, otherwise, the other side wouldn't have been able to break in so quickly,"
"Aren't our defenders the most powerful army in the world? Aren't our troops invincible and unconquerable?"
These Indians are all blindly arrogant; they never imagined their troops would be defeated so quickly.
If that's the case, their team is truly vulnerable.
"Retreat, retreat quickly, or we'll be in real trouble."
“These rich and powerful people can run away, but where can we run to?”
"The only thing waiting for us is death. We really didn't expect things to turn out this way."
"If this continues, we have no idea what to do."
Everyone was in complete chaos. They had never encountered anything like this before. This was something they had never imagined or experienced before.
This left everyone bewildered; for them, it was the darkest day they had ever faced.
Just as these people were at a loss, Han Xin led a large army and stormed in.
It was at this moment that the people inside the city realized that their garrison outside the city had vanished.
"The foreigners have already invaded, but we are completely unaware of it."
"What should we do if this continues? We never expected things to turn out this way."
"No wonder our king abandoned us and ran away. No wonder our king killed so many of our people. So this guy was trying to escape. I have never seen such a shameless person before."
"People, we must follow our king. Wherever our king goes, we should follow. Only by following our king can we be truly safe."
After that, many wise men quietly followed them on the day of Abhidharma.
These people know that if they stay here, they're doomed. These bastards are capable of all sorts of evil deeds.
The people, both inside and outside the city, all understood this. If they followed their king, they might have a chance to survive; otherwise, death awaited them.
Including everyone else, not a single one of them was willing to stay. They dragged their families along, supporting Old Xie, and followed their king closely. At this moment, King Jerry was utterly enraged; he never imagined that his men would become so despicable and shameless.
"What are you bastards up to?"
"Get out of here right now, or I'll kill you bastards."
"You bastards, get as far away as you can! Don't follow our king. He only wants to leave this city as soon as possible. What are you people doing following him so closely?"
King Harsha and his ministers were so angry that they cursed and swore.
Unlike the common people who followed closely behind, these ministers knew that if the common people followed closely behind, their actions would be exposed, and once exposed, the maritime fleet would quickly catch up.
“These scoundrels want to kill me. Kill them all, leave no one alive. They’re really despicable. I’ve always been angry at them, but I never expected that they would try to harm me when things come to this.”
Then, his anger surged as he looked at the crowd of people following behind him—at least tens of thousands of them. These people rushed through every street, quickly converging on him. All of them knew that only by following their king could they possibly survive; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Every single person wanted to live. They all knew that if they stayed here, they would only face certain death. Now, they could only follow their big yellow dog, and wherever their dog went, they would follow.
"Soldiers, pass down my order: if you see any civilians following me, shoot them dead. Don't they want to live? I want them to know that if they don't want to stay here with me, then they have no other choice but to die."
With a single command, the order was quickly relayed. The princes, ministers, and guards following the festival king knew that if the common people continued to follow, their actions would be exposed, and once their whereabouts were revealed, they would face certain death.
Soon, the archers swiftly drew their bows and fired a volley of arrows at the pursuing civilians.
Arrows rained down on the innocent civilians, who had never expected this. They only wanted to live; they only wanted to survive by following their king. Instead, the arrows that followed them took their lives.
Accompanied by screams and wails, the people lay fallen to the ground in swathes, like harvested wheat.
The people were so angry that they cursed them, never expecting that their king would treat them this way.
"Why are you doing this? We've always followed the King wherever he goes. We just want a chance to survive."
“These bastards, they’ve all turned out like this. No matter what, they shouldn’t be treated like this. We just wanted to go with you. What wrong have we done? Why are you trying to kill us?”
Although the people were furious, they dared not do anything to their king, since he was protected by a guard.
The common people could only follow from a distance.
