Chu Huai gave chase and blocked the entrance to the city gate, leaving him no chance to catch his breath.
At this moment, his soldiers had completely occupied the entire Ganzhou.
As for Youzhou City, the First Prince will surely take it in one fell swoop as well.
Thinking this, he was overjoyed.
"Tell me, where is Gu Qian?" Chu Huai asked Ling Ba.
If this man is not killed, Northern Qi will never have peace.
Killing Gu Qian would be a great achievement for him, not only avenging his elder brother but also earning him the highest honor from His Majesty.
Ling Ba parted his thin lips slightly and replied indifferently, "Far away, yet right before my eyes."
Ling Qi then looked around, wondering where the general was and why he hadn't noticed him.
Unable to find the person, Chu Huai began to lure him with benefits.
"Where exactly is Gu Qian? If you tell me where Gu Qian is and are willing to submit to my great Northern Qi and become my loyal dog, I, the general, will spare your life!"
Wake up! Gu Qian took all the troops, abandoned the city, and fled, leaving you behind. And you, foolishly, are still defending the city.
"Hmph, you think you can compare to General Gu?" Ling Ba's eyes were full of disdain. "A mere brat with a wild mouth, what makes you think you can be compared to our General Gu?"
Enraged, Chu Huai brandished his longsword and slashed straight at Ling Bamianmen.
Ling Qi sneered. Ling Ba was silent until he opened his mouth, and once he did, he could infuriate someone to the point of internal injury.
He stepped forward and took a blow for Ling Ba. "Chu Er, the most important thing is to know your own limitations."
"Today, none of them will live!" Chu Huai roared, his eyes bloodshot with rage. "Gu Qian, you coward, come out! This general will fight you to the death!"
In terms of strategy and ability, he is no match for Gu Qian.
"I'm here!"
With a loud shout, Gu Qian suddenly appeared alone on a distant tree branch in Chu Huai's line of sight.
He was too far away to be easily recognized without careful observation.
"You..." Chu Huai was slightly taken aback, the unease from before welling up in his heart again.
But soon, this unease was overshadowed by his joy at conquering Ganzhou.
Is this because she can't stand his provocation anymore and can't hide it any longer?
"Give me your life!" Chu Huai's eyes were filled with invincible hatred mixed with excitement.
Today, he will make Gu Qian pay for his blood debt!
"This day next year will be the anniversary of your death."
He was about to go downstairs and capture Gu Qian alive when he was stunned when he saw the bronze-colored unidentified weapon in Gu Qian's hand.
Taking a trivial matter as an imperial edict, this broken thing—you think you can stop him? No way.
"Hmph, little trick... Ah..."
Before Chu Tian could finish speaking, Gu Qian raised his musket and launched a surprise attack.
Thump...thud, Chu Huai fell to the ground.
A bloody hole appeared on his chest, which terrified the enemy soldiers.
Ling Qi and Ling Ba slightly opened their jaws. When a general takes the field, he's no ordinary person.
That accuracy, that speed...
"General..." On the city wall, Chu Huai's army's initial excitement turned into fear in an instant.
Yes, it's fear.
The turn of events caught them completely off guard.
In an instant, chaos erupted atop the city wall.
At this moment, Ling Qi and Ling Ba, who were already exhausted, breathed a long sigh of relief when Chu Huai died.
Chu Huai is agile; they would likely be no match for him in a one-on-one fight.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Several more gunshots rang out, and many enemy soldiers fell to the ground on the city wall.
They didn't even know where the person who attacked them was, and they died under the gun without knowing why.
The arrival of unidentified weapons caused panic among the enemy troops inside the city, who all looked towards the city walls and turned back to search for Chu Huai's direction.
But all they saw was the aloof and superior Gu Qian.
