The imperial army was thrown into chaos; they were too brutal!
Several of Chu's retainers and vassals rushed out, shouting angrily, "Kill this traitor!"
Xiahou Yan shouted, "Your Highness, please return and let your subordinates come down."
Yin Jin'an clicked her tongue. The human pig was not yet finished; it was still missing a leg.
He retreated, and Xiahou Yan didn't even need to play the flute to command him. He led 1,997 members of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to attack the enemy general.
If you want to kill my master, you'll have to get past us first.
Yin Jin'an watched as the elite Tiger and Leopard Cavalry clashed with the imperial army. After a while, he said to Jiu Tian and Kuangren Chu, "The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's martial arts are indeed quite impressive."
"If my second uncle were to master the Mysterious Heavenly Scripture, he would be far more powerful than them."
"Hmph, they're even worse than me. I could poison these few worthless generals with a single blow."
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were indeed formidable, and they would certainly win in a one-on-one fight, but they were simply too insignificant against an army of hundreds of thousands.
Yin Jin'an didn't use the clay pot mines; he wanted to see what the limits of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were.
Gu Bahuang entered the city and fought and bombed with the Uyghurs, with continuous "boom" and "boom" explosions echoing throughout the city.
After they had slaughtered all the Uyghurs and captured Jiegan alive, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had been killing so many that their hands were sore and they were all wounded.
Yin Jin'an said to Gu Bahuang, "You shout to them, and if they want to surrender, they should put down their weapons and wait in the open space to the south."
Gu Bahuang ordered his men to strike the gong, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry retreated.
"Listen up, everyone on the other side! Your Highness is devoted to the country and its people, while His Majesty is muddle-headed and listens to slander. Are you all willing to follow Your Highness to kill all the corrupt officials and treacherous ministers and restore peace and order to Great Xia?"
"Those who are willing can go to that open space; those who are unwilling to surrender, His Highness will accompany them to the end."
After the shouting ended, about half of the other side laid down their weapons and went to the open space. Two veterans even followed without hesitation.
There are approximately 60,000 people remaining.
Gu Bahuang shouted, "Have you thought it through to be enemies with His Highness?"
Those people cursed, "Traitor! Your grandfather swears to die rather than surrender!"
Yin Jin'an waved his hand: "Kill!"
This time, there were no Tiger and Leopard Cavalry brandishing their swords, nor did Gu Bahuang charge in formation. Instead, a line of strong soldiers stood in formation, each holding a clay pot grenade, lit the fuse, and threw it over.
The imperial army suffered heavy losses, with halberds and swords breaking amidst the thunderous crash. Gu Bahuang uttered the words: "This day next year will be the anniversary of your deaths."
Gu Chongjin and Xu Li both looked at those earthenware pot bombs. Their production and destructive power were at the level of Jade Dragon Kingdom fourteen years ago.
It cannot compare to their current iron mines, but in the Tian Sheng Continent, it is still a powerful weapon that swords and spears cannot surpass.
The imperial army, which refused to surrender, was rendered useless by its fine armor and sharp weapons; a barrage of earthenware grenades brought down most of them.
"Your Highness, we surrender."
"We don't want to fight anymore."
More soldiers put down their weapons and ran to the open space. Yin Jin'an said to Xiahou Yan, "Let the ordinary soldiers who want to surrender go over there, but we will not accept the surrender of those who are captains or above."
The opportunity has been given; now we surrender and don't want it anymore.
...
Gu Chongjin and Xu Li didn't get involved at all; they simply watched as Yin Jin'an and Chu Bubai's armies fought each other right before their eyes.
Watching Yin Jin'an defeat the imperial army.
Yin Jin'an got her wish and cut off Chu Bubai's last leg, then had someone bring over a jar.
Human pig!
He pressed Jiutian's little head into his chest and said to Chu Bubai, "You've lost!"
Chu Bubai wanted to curse loudly, but after bleeding for so long, he could no longer utter a curse and could only watch him with a bitter smile.
Yin Jin'an said to him, "Don't feel wronged. I hold a grudge because the Chu family killed Empress Wei and me. That's why the entire Chu family is dead."
After dealing with Chu Bubai's army, Yin Jin'an entered Wuzhong Prefecture. The prefect of Wuzhong Prefecture was still alive and knelt to welcome Yin Jin'an.
“Just continue to govern as you have always done, and I will not interfere with your governance,” Yin Jin’an said. “No matter who is in power, the people are the foundation. Treat them well. Remember, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Without the people, the court is nothing.”
Yin Jin'an's words moved the prefect of Wuzhong Prefecture to tears. He knelt and kowtowed three times and led the people in expressing their deepest gratitude to Yin Jin'an.
Yin Jin'an stayed in Wuzhong Prefecture for two days, as the army needed to rest and eat.
He also wants to make some new clay pot mines.
Along the way, the supply battalion constantly collected saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur. Whenever he had free time, he would make some clay pot grenades.
Gu Chongjin did not return to the capital that day.
He and Xu Li strolled around Yin Jin'an's vicinity without making a sound. The closer they got to Yin Jin'an, the more familiar she seemed.
However, his hands, neck, and the skin outside the mask all told him that this was not the Second Master Yin from before, but a boy of about ten years old.
