As the approaching Northern Qi enemy army drew ever closer, Feng Qi's eyes flickered, a slight smile playing on her lips. She then gave a stern order to her soldiers.
"Retreat immediately!"
"Retreat!" General Qin brandished his spear and gave the order.
He and Feng Qi exchanged a glance, and then each led their own soldiers to retreat.
At that time, the enemy forces of Northern Qi had already rushed close.
The newly arrived Northern Qi enemy troops and the soldiers of Dongjin were so close that they were practically touching!
"Hmph, if you want to retreat, you'll have to leave your lives behind first!" Qi Ze took the lead.
"Chase them! Don't let them get away!"
Looking at his vast army of soldiers, his eyes were filled with unwavering determination to win.
He said to General Liang, "You stay here and be wary of any traps!"
After saying this, he charged out, his target being Captain Qin's hastily fleeing figure, determined to cut him down from his horse.
"Good!" General Liang thought so too.
However, no sooner had the word "good" been uttered than the soldiers of Dongjin suddenly turned around.
Rumble— Rumble—
Instantly, the air was filled with the strong smell of gunpowder, which choked the soldiers so much that they covered their mouths and noses.
Suddenly, painful groans, highs and lows, and a truly pathetic scene unfolded.
Some of them were injured in the legs, some in the arms, and some died on the spot.
The Northern Qi soldiers were instantly surrounded by a barrage of cannon fire.
They looked terrified and began to back away.
The general guarding the city wall of Qi was so shocked by what he saw that he felt a chill run down his spine.
In recent months, the Dongjin Army has not used gunpowder, which has made them lower their guard.
The eldest prince and General Liang were still outside, so he dared not order the city gates to be closed.
They had no choice but to send the city gate guards to gather on the city tower, ready to receive the eldest prince Qi Ze and General Liang at any time.
"Retreat, retreat quickly, back to the city, back to the city..." General Liang panicked and realized that he had fallen into a trap.
Let's look at the eldest prince, Qi Ze.
He groaned and fell to the ground, one of his arms already a bloody mess.
Qi Ze's arm trembled; he was in so much pain he felt like he was suffocating.
He looked up to the sky and roared in anger:
"Gu Qian, I will never forgive you!"
Explosives? They actually have explosives?
He originally thought that they had already used up all their fireworks and firecrackers after their previous lucky victories, but he didn't expect that they still had a backup plan.
"Your Highness, quickly enter the city! Enter the city!" General Liang wanted to cover Qi Ze's safe entry into the city.
However, while it was easy for them to leave, it was extremely difficult for them to return.
Because at this moment, Captain Qin and Feng Qi had already returned.
Captain Qin swiftly swung his spear, aiming straight for General Liang's heart.
He left Qi Ze, that good-for-nothing, to Feng Qi.
Feng Qi's horse trotted towards Qi Ze, looking down at Qi Ze's disheveled appearance, and then retorted with a remark.
"If you want to leave, you'd better leave your life behind first!"
Qi Ze shrank back, as if to call for reinforcements.
However, General Liang was held back by Colonel Qin at this moment.
His once valiant soldiers, however, fled faster than rabbits, fearing the power of gunpowder.
Most of the Northern Qi enemy soldiers, who were largely unharmed, feared that the Dongjin army would launch another wave of explosives.
Some of them had witnessed the power of explosives before, so they had no choice but to run away in panic.
Those wounded Northern Qi soldiers, ignoring their pain, also desperately fled.
Others, unable to escape in time, were trampled underfoot and died.
The scene was horrific.
Qi Ze felt deep regret.
He abandoned his pride and began to beg for mercy.
"Spare me! Spare me! I'll give up the entire Northern Qi kingdom! Spare me!"
His thought was, "As long as the green hills remain, there's no worry about running out of firewood."
However, Feng Qi clearly disdained his explanation.
Pfft—
Qi Ze's heart was pierced by Feng Qi's sword.
The son must pay for the father's debts!
In Feng Qi's view, the entire royal family of Northern Qi deserved to die.
Qi Ze groaned, his clothes stained crimson with blood.
He closed his eyes forever in utter despair.
