"The arrows don't have enough penetrating power, and the distance is too far; they simply can't hit the target!"
"Zhou Zhenguang and his group actually possessed deadly weapons. Zhou Cheng left them with them when he left Jiangling City? Where did these things come from, and why does Zhou Cheng have so many?"
"They can't even use them all? They used so many before, and they still haven't exhausted Zhou Cheng's weapons! How could this be! How are we supposed to fight this battle?!"
General Wei trembled and felt cold all over, shaking his head in disbelief and muttering, "What should we do?"
What should he do?
What do we do now?
Are we just going to wait to die?
Sudden--
A thought flashed through the minds of both General Wei and Commander Zhang.
The two of them looked up at the same time.
Commander Zhang took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his fear of the killing weapon, and quickly ordered General Wei, "Quickly, quickly, bring Yun Hui and those prisoners up to me!"
"I will not lose, and the imperial court will not lose."
"With 160,000 to 170,000 troops at my command and the powerful Yan Kingdom at my back, how could I possibly fail to defeat even Zhou Zhenguang? I made the right choice! I could never have chosen the wrong path! Huff, huff..."
Coach Zhang kept adjusting his mindset and emotions, repeatedly reassuring himself that things hadn't reached their final stage yet.
There is still a chance for the imperial army to turn things around.
There will definitely be a turning point.
In no time at all.
General Wei then appeared, dragging Yun Hui, who was covered in wounds. Behind him, the imperial soldiers were also holding some of Yun Hui's men, who were so weak that they could not even lift their heads and were starving.
The prisoners were kept at the very back of the army.
I thought I wouldn't need it, but I was wrong...
Commander Zhang dismounted from his chariot, grabbed Yun Hui by the neck, and stood in the center, surrounded by layers of soldiers. He stood there, looking up towards the city wall—
He saw Zhou Zhenguang.
Unfortunately, they were too far apart, and Zhou Zhenguang was standing too high. The wall blocked Zhou Zhenguang's body, only revealing his face, making it impossible for him to see the condition of Zhou Zhenguang and the Zhou family soldiers.
Zhou Zhenguang also saw him, as well as the cloud banner he was holding as a hostage!
"Zhou Zhenguang!!"
"Open your eyes wide and see clearly who this is!"
"This is Yun Hui, the general who risked everything to follow you back then. Besides him, there's also this group of prisoners we captured alive, more than 12,000 in total! You know them all, right?"
"I'm giving you ten seconds to tell your men to stop! And tell the Zhou family soldiers hiding on the high ground and the city walls to come down here so we can talk face to face!"
"Otherwise, don't blame me for ending Yun Hui and these prisoners' lives with one stroke!"
Commander Zhang glared at Zhou Zhenguang, holding a long knife to Yun Hui's neck, threatening him.
Zhou Zhenguang didn't even need to give the order.
All the sharpshooters and Zhou family soldiers stopped fighting at the same time. They glanced at the disheveled General Yunhui, and then at the more than 10,000 prisoners who had been tortured.
These people were once their companions.
Unfortunately, due to problems with food and supplies, they eventually dispersed...
"General Zhou..." Yun Hui knelt on the ground in humiliation. He looked up at the scene of blood flowing like a river in the city and saw the imperial soldiers being beaten without any chance to fight back. He felt complicated and shocked.
The shocking weapon that made Commander Zhang wary was actually incredibly powerful.
And what about him?
However, he fell into the hands of Commander Zhang and has now become a bargaining chip to threaten Zhou Zhenguang!
He's stupid, he really is stupid!
"After all these years, your despicable and shameless nature hasn't changed. Do you think you can threaten me with such means?" Zhou Zhenguang stood on the city wall, staring at Commander Zhang with a cold expression.
