He was terrified that Zhou Zhenguang might throw a weapon at him at the slightest provocation!
The scene of blood flowing like a river was too horrifying and terrifying for Commander Zhang.
He clenched his fists, sheathed his machete, and immediately replied, "Enough, Zhou Zhenguang, you hypocritical scoundrel! You have truly failed Yun Hui and the others who followed you! I will release them!"
"Yun Hui, did you see that?"
"When the Zhou family was in danger, you followed him without hesitation, but when a machete was held to your neck, he was unwilling to hand over even a few weapons."
"Your lives are worth less than a few cold, inanimate objects!"
Yun Hui looked at Commander Zhang with a mocking gaze, but did not reply.
The Zhou family's soldiers burst into laughter.
Only a fool would listen to such divisive words!
The power of the weapon is evident to all. What difference is there between surrendering the weapon and surrendering one's life? Does Commander Zhang really think he can demoralize the army with a few illogical words?
Seeing that neither Yun Hui nor the Zhou family responded, Commander Zhang felt aggrieved. He gritted his teeth and glared at Zhou Zhenguang: "Zhou Zhenguang, you're ruthless!"
“I’ll hand over Yun Hui and his group of prisoners to you. Things aren’t over yet. So what if you have weapons? I don’t believe your son is that powerful that he can really get an inexhaustible supply of these things.”
"The time is not yet ripe, and the outcome is uncertain. I want to see who will have the last laugh!"
"Have your men retreat two miles, open the city gates, and once they're at a safe distance, I'll release people like Yun Hui."
Zhou Zhenguang raised his hand, signaling the soldiers behind him to retreat.
The middle-aged general beside him was about to say something when the old general gave him a look: "General Zhou will make his own decision. The court is already a frightened bird and has no room for scheming. Step back."
A moment later.
The Zhou family's 90,000 soldiers retreated to a distance of two miles.
The closed city gate of Jiangling City clicked open.
Only then did Commander Zhang's anxious heart finally relax. He dared not play any tricks. There was only Zhou Zhenguang and a dozen or so confidants standing there, holding weapons in their hands.
In the past, Commander Zhang might have turned ruthless, but now, having witnessed the power of the weapon, all his dark thoughts have been suppressed.
If the court makes any unusual moves.
Commander Zhang was certain that he would die faster than Yun Hui!
Those weapons with a range of hundreds or thousands of meters are no joke.
"Release all ten thousand-plus prisoners."
"withdraw!"
"Everyone evacuate!"
Commander Zhang was surrounded by his soldiers in the center. As the soldiers from both sides handed over the hostages, he rode out of the city at high speed, with the court officials following closely behind in fear.
Yun Hui and more than 10,000 prisoners remained in Jiangling City.
That concludes the discussion.
The battle between the imperial court and the Zhou family has come to an end.
The bluestone roads within the city were soaked with blood, and a strong stench of blood permeated the city of Jiangling.
The ground was littered with the corpses of imperial soldiers. Some were blown to pieces and their faces were unrecognizable, some had severed limbs and bled to death, and some were crying out for help and begging for mercy.
All those remaining soldiers were abandoned by Commander Zhang.
With their limbs severed, they couldn't keep up with the escape and became abandoned soldiers...
