"What happened?"
Where is General Chu?
"He was killed, he's dead..."
"How is this possible..."
"I saw it with my own eyes!"
"What...what should we do..."
They finally managed to breach the city, and now...
Close the door and beat the dog!
Yes, the city gates have been closed again.
"No, no, there are too many of us, they can't stop us!"
Chu Huai's men, filled with trepidation, were killed one by one by Ling Qi, Ling Ba, and the guards of Dongjin.
At this moment, those on the city wall were once again their own people.
Below the city wall, the enemy troops, seeing Chu Huai dead, lost their high morale and panicked.
Gu Qian looked down at Ling Qi and saw him lift Chu Huai's corpse from the ground with one hand, cut off his head with a snap, and casually throw it towards the group of Northern Qi soldiers.
Chu Huai's head hovered in the air before finally falling into the hands of a Northern Qi enemy general.
"Ah..." The enemy general took it with trembling hands. When he saw Chu Huai's unseeing eyes, he suddenly shuddered, lost his balance, and his head fell to the ground, frightening the enemy soldiers around him.
At this moment, the enemy soldiers all felt their legs go weak.
Gu Qian stroked the musket in his hand and said in a deep voice,
"Listen up, Northern Qi army! Your general is dead. Those who do not wish to die, surrender immediately and join my Dongjin army. I will spare your lives. But those who disobey will be killed without mercy!"
"Soldiers, don't believe his lies! He's lying! We have already breached the city gates, and Ganzhou City is now in the hands of Northern Qi. Soldiers, don't forget..."
We now have a full 400,000 troops, and the First Prince can come to our aid at any time. What do they have to offer in terms of numbers compared to us?
Charge...kill Gu Qian, kill him, avenge General Chu!
The one speaking was the enemy general who had just received the head.
Their men had not yet fully entered the city; in his view, they were certain to win the battle.
His instigation of trouble further fueled the enemy's morale.
"kill--"
Led by the enemy general, they charged straight at the city wall, long swords in hand, heading straight for Gu Qian.
Outside the city, a series of loud rumbling sounds followed, then painful howls.
Immediately following was the whooshing sound of fleeing.
"Run! Run!"
Many of them were elderly, weak, sick, or disabled; they were trampled underfoot and died on the spot before they could even run away. The scene was extremely tragic.
They had never experienced artillery fire before; its devastation was unbearable and filled them with immense fear.
This time, without Gu Qian having to lift a finger, bang bang bang... several more gunshots rang out, followed by a hail of bullets sweeping in.
At first glance, it turned out that the Dongjin Army, led by Ling Yun and Ling Zhi, had appeared on the city wall at some unknown time and surrounded the Northern Qi Army inside the city.
The enemy general panicked. What was that sound just now?
"What kind of weapons are they holding?"
Where are our people?
Of those who entered the city, less than 100,000 remained; the remaining 300,000 were guarding outside the city, ready to capture Gu Qian alive.
But where are the people now?
Thump, thump, thump... The provoking enemy general and his surrounding officers instantly coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.
The enemy soldiers, seeing the dark muzzle of Gu Qian's gun, shrank back in fear.
This time, they were truly leaderless.
At this moment, Ling Qi and Ling Ba descended from the city tower, leading their soldiers to stand at the city gate.
"General Gu, we surrender, we surrender..."
The soldiers prostrated themselves on the ground, filling the entire Ganzhou Street...
They didn't want to die; they still had parents to support, wives to care for, and children to raise...
At this moment, all they want is to live.
