Qi Ze was immediately dumbfounded.
He felt uneasy.
However, his immense desire to win overcame his fear at that moment.
"Gu Qian, Gu Qian, you've used all sorts of things for the New Year to deal with me. How ridiculous. What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Bring them on."
Hearing the deafening explosion, all he could think about were fireworks and firecrackers.
What's there to be afraid of? Even if Gu Qian has fireworks materials, how much can he possibly have?
He now commands a full 600,000 troops.
With an army of 600,000, conquering the small city of Youzhou would be a piece of cake.
"Charge!" He sneered at Gu Qian and led his soldiers straight in.
However, the sound of another explosion immediately followed, making him uneasy.
He disregarded everything and prepared to enter the city.
Never mind, the city gates have already been breached, so there's no reason not to attack.
"Gu Qian, even if you had three heads and six arms, I still..."
"Is that so?" Gu Qian looked at Qi Ze with a smile. "Once you're in, don't regret it."
"Regret? How ridiculous!"
After saying this, Qi Ze glanced at the vast army not far away and suddenly felt a little insecure.
He wasn't sure if these people were his own or from the Dongjin Army.
As far as he knew, the Dongjin Army, including all its troops, numbered only about 500,000.
But who can guarantee that this isn't just an illusion?
Clatter, clatter... As the sudden sound of horses drew closer, a Northern Qi soldier fell from his horse in a panic and knelt down in front of Qi Ze.
"Your Highness..."
"What's wrong?" Qi Ze had a bad feeling.
"General Chu has been killed in battle. Of the 400,000 soldiers who went to attack Ganzhou, some died, some fled, and some became prisoners of war in Dongjin."
"What?" Qi Ze exclaimed in disbelief. "Impossible! How could we, with so many of us, be defeated!"
"They had unidentified weapons, and many of our soldiers were blown to bits."
"This..." It sounds a bit terrifying.
This time, Qi Ze realized the seriousness of the situation.
However, he was still somewhat skeptical.
In Ganzhou, a full 400,000 troops were sent.
With each explosion, the Northern Qi army suffered a horrific fate.
"These mere fireworks and firecrackers have such power?"
From the rear, the deafening roar of marching troops echoed...
In an instant, it turned into the sound of killing.
Qi Ze's rear army was embroiled in fierce fighting, followed closely by the entire force.
Below the city walls, a fierce battle ensued once again.
Just as Qi Ze was about to press further, suddenly, Chu Huai's head rolled down in front of him.
Qi Ze was shocked and quickly looked around, but found nothing.
His heart was in turmoil, filled with fear and unease.
Let's retreat. This city we finally conquered, and we're just going to retreat like this? He's unwilling to accept it.
But if we don't retreat...
That's enough, better to be cautious.
"withdraw!"
Qi Ze fled in panic, followed by a hail of arrows.
However, he was wearing soft armor, so the arrows couldn't get close.
"Chase!" Gu Qian personally led a pair of elite soldiers and rode ahead in pursuit.
Qi Ze was exceptionally skilled and escaped at lightning speed.
In this battle, Dongjin was outnumbered. Although the enemy suffered heavy losses, it was still a drop in the ocean for the Northern Qi.
As for gunpowder, a considerable amount was used up while defending Ganzhou City, and now there is very little left.
Gu Qian knew that Qi Ze was cautious and timid.
He was gambling, gambling that Qi Ze wouldn't continue into the city, and he won.
As the saying goes, all's fair in war!
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.
Just now, when the group of soldiers arrived from behind, they were dismayed to find that they were not greeted by Qi Ze, but by Yue Peng.
