"Hopefully... Heaven will open its eyes and grant these 100,000-plus people a way to survive..."
The old general closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a terrifying aura burst forth from them.
He shook off his dejection and gripped the spear tightly in his hand.
The instant Zhou Zhenguang raised his hand and gave the order.
Leading his soldiers, who were starving and barely clinging to life, he charged forward, heading straight for the official pass of the northern road!
"Follow me, kill!"
"Kill them!!"
In an instant, the sounds of battle filled the sky.
The deafening stomping sound made the ground shake continuously.
The sentry on the watchtower, who had just lit a firework, immediately spotted 30,000 soldiers charging into the pass and shouted, "Night attack! Enemy night attack!"
"The rebels are leading their army to attack!"
"Everyone prepare for battle! Slay the traitors!"
The imperial soldiers had anticipated this and immediately organized their troops to prepare for a defensive counterattack.
The leading general rushed out.
Then they saw the approaching army, led by Zhou Zhenguang, who exuded a fierce aura.
Although they exuded a strong aura, the imperial generals could tell at a glance that the group of soldiers opposite them, who were all bark and no bite, were nothing to be afraid of: "Hahaha... Just as General Fan predicted!"
"Zhou Zhenguang and the others were trapped in Jiangling City, without even a cotton coat or boots to get through the winter."

"With your sallow, emaciated, and sickly appearance, you can't even wield a spear, yet you dare to dream of occupying Guankou and opposing the Yan Kingdom, His Majesty, and the Imperial Court? Wishful thinking!"

The soldier's expression immediately changed, and he quickly shouted to his comrades not far away: "Something has happened at the official pass of the northern route! The beacon tower has been lit!"
"Zhou Zhenguang and the others have already rushed out of Jiangling City, ready to fight us to the death! Quickly, light the fire! Notify the sentries on the second mountaintop!"
A few minutes later.
"Whoosh—"
Fires broke out on the second mountaintop.
A few minutes later.
"Whoosh—"
Fires erupted atop the third mountain!
"........"
We were about to cross the last mountain peak.
The news would then reach the 40,000 imperial troops hiding 10 kilometers from the official road.
They were well-equipped, had ample provisions, were well-fed and well-clothed, were strong and healthy, and had warhorses ready to charge into battle. Their fighting strength was absolutely incomparable to that of Zhou Zhenguang's soldiers.

"clatter--"

The sound of boots treading through the snow echoed in the dead of night.
