The short-barreled repeating crossbow could fire twelve rounds in one volley, so fast that people had no time to react.
In the governor's mansion, the first soldier came to report: "Report! The Empress is personally leading the troops to attack the city."
In less than a moment, the ground shook and a second soldier came tumbling in, "Report! The outer wall has been blown up, and General Liu has been killed."
The third soldier came in immediately and said, "Report! The silver-armored cavalry broke through the arrow tower and headed straight for this place! General Zhao resisted and was killed! General Lu was killed!"
King Xian's two sons, Xiao Jinghe and Xiao Jingming, and their advisers were extremely anxious.
“Too fast, too fast!”
"How come they broke in in less than a quarter of an hour?"
Xiao Jinghe grabbed the sleeve of the white-robed counselor next to him, as if grabbing a life-saving straw: "Mr. Xu, what should we do now? What should we do?"

He was just about to go to the city wall to meet her when she had already broken in.
Now it is no longer a question of whether they meet or not, but that he may very likely die under the empress's cavalry, but she has no idea who he is.
"Report! The Yue army is evacuating."
"Report! The Northern Cang army is evacuating."
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the gate was destroyed and the sound of cavalry charging was close at hand.
"withdraw!"
“Run!”
All the counselors fled in all directions.
Xiao Jinghe panicked: "Run, father, take father with you!"
However, now no one paid any attention to him, and in desperation, he ran away too.
