The Northern Qi emperor would not allow these people to leave the city.
He knew that Qi Heng and his trusted confidants were inside the city.
He feared that Qi Heng and Gu Qian would work together from the inside.
This very morning, just as the Emperor of Northern Qi was feeling restless,
Outside the capital of Qi, under the originally peaceful sunlight,
The sounds of battle, vast and resounding, grew louder as they approached.
Immediately afterward, Captain Qin and Feng Qi appeared at the foot of Qi Capital.
On the city wall, the Qi commander and General Liang both felt their hearts leap into their throats.
After a long wait, it has finally arrived.
This battle was unavoidable.
Below the city gate,
Feng Qi pursed her lips tightly, gazing aloofly at Qi Ze and General Liang atop the city wall.
She had waited for this day for a long time. In this battle, she was determined to settle the score for the destruction of her country.
Even if she were bleeding from her head, she would never back down.
Commandant Qin was preoccupied with what he could think about: how far had things progressed with the general?
To be honest, he was really unsure of himself after not being able to see the general in person for the past few days.
Although Qiu Dayu, Xia Minhan, and the others were uneasy, they were not afraid because they had General Gu as their strong backing.
These soldiers of Dongjin, each holding a long spear, were full of heroic spirit and stood very straight.
Their faces shone with confidence as they awaited the decisive battle against Northern Qi.
Are they nervous?
At first, they were nervous.
But now, with war looming, most of them have become calm.
The general said that the prerequisite for fighting bravely against the enemy is to save one's own life.
The general said, "They must all live."
At the victory celebration banquet, let them drink to their hearts' content.
Those who no longer wish to serve in the military after the war are allowed to retire and return to their hometowns.
Those who wish to remain in the military will receive increased pay.
Qiu Dayu and the others felt a bittersweet mix of emotions as they looked forward to the end of the war.
On the city wall, General Liang carefully observed the soldiers below and couldn't help but wonder.
"Why hasn't Gu Qian shown up yet?"
Beside General Liang, Qi Ze scanned the Dongjin Army soldiers below the city wall and sneered.
He sternly questioned Qin Xiaowei and Feng Qi:
Where is Gu Qian?
Captain Qin sneered.
"Hmph, to deal with your Northern Qi, we don't need General Gu to personally lead the battle. I, Qin, alone can take you down!"
Feng Qi remained silent, keeping a close eye on the movements around her.
"Arrogant!" Qi Heng's face turned ashen with anger. General Liang beside him slowly shook his head.
"Your Highness, please calm down. Don't fall into Gu Qian's trap."
Qi Heng was furious and shouted at the soldiers below the city:
"Gu Qian is a coward, afraid of death. He is so scared that he doesn't even dare to show his face in the face of the powerful Northern Qi."
General Qin waved his spear and said, "Your Highness, are you deaf?"
We, the Eastern Jin, have already reached your doorstep, yet you remain locked in your homes, afraid to leave the city to meet the challenge. Clearly, it is you, Qi Ze, the eldest prince of Northern Qi, who is the coward!
As Qin just said, dealing with your Northern Qi would be a waste of General Gu's talents.
Qi Heng tried to calm himself down, but the young general's remarks from below the city wall had enraged him.
He was about to leave the city to fight Qin Xiaowei, but was stopped by General Chu.
"Your Highness, please wait a little longer." Then, he lowered his voice and continued to speak to Qi Ze:
"Don't forget, we have 500,000 soldiers."
He is full of confidence for this match.
After all, they had 100,000 soldiers waiting in the city, while outside the city, there were 300,000 soldiers waiting for Gu Qian to walk into their trap.
