While explosives are powerful, their effectiveness is ultimately limited. How long can they hold out against hundreds of warships and cavalry charging at the same time?
Looking at the cavalry, Su Ziyang sighed, "This is a large country, and it must not have been easy to train these cavalry. Deyi Xinwu is really willing to spend money."
There aren't many Yamato horses, and raising horses is difficult enough, let alone training a cavalryman. These cavalrymen would be blown up as soon as they charged.
If it were him, he really wouldn't want the Hatamoto Army to just disappear like that.
As soon as Su Ziyang finished speaking, he noticed some commotion on the beach.
Then the cavalry split into two groups and dispersed, making way for each other in the middle.
Many people walked along the road.
After seeing these people clearly, Su Ruojin lost her previous composure, and her eyes were filled with anger!
However, the only difference was that these people in front of them were not soldiers at all, but ordinary citizens of Chigen City.
On either side of these people were cavalrymen of the Banner Army, holding whips and constantly urging them forward.
Among these people were men and women, the old and the young, and even a young mother holding a baby a few months old in her arms.
Seeing these people, what else didn't she understand?
Indeed, just like his second brother thought, Tokugi Shingo was also reluctant to sacrifice the cavalry he had painstakingly trained for no reason.
Therefore, he wanted to use the people of Akagane to block their artillery fire, deplete their explosives, and pave the way for the Hatamoto army's attack!
This is blatant disregard for the lives of ordinary people!
When two armies clash, it should be a contest between their respective armies. Civilians are innocent, yet they are forced to become victims.
Xiao Yanchu's eyes also turned cold.
It must be said that Tokugi Shingo's cruelty led him to find a way to fight against them.
Neither Xiao Yanchu nor Su Ruojin would ever lay a hand on these innocent civilians.
As more and more people were driven over, the crowd stretched as far as the eye could see.
Just how many people did Deyi Xinwu arrest?!
Su Ziyang also saw through Deyi Xinwu's intentions and angrily said, "That old scoundrel Deyi Xinwu is so shameless!"
Even though the people of Beili were ruthless enough, they wouldn't have done something as simple as using civilians as shields from gunfire.
I never imagined that De Yixin could be so despicable.
"Xiao Jin, what do we do now?"
Su Ziyang knew that they couldn't throw explosives at the civilians, which meant that the Hatamoto Army could mix in with the civilians and charge over.
Once the Hatamoto army charges in, no matter how powerful they are, they won't be able to handle so many Hatamoto soldiers.
Xiao Yanchu's eyes were cold and he remained silent.
Just then, a horse charged out from the banner army and galloped toward the Xiaohai.
The horse stopped some distance away from the Xiaohai.
The man on horseback shouted, "Your Highness, our leader said that as long as you disembark and surrender, we will spare your lives."
Su Ziyang couldn't help but curse angrily, "If you want to fight, then fight! Why all the nonsense!"
"Hu Qing," Xiao Yanchu called out.
Without saying a word, Hu Qing leaped off the boat, grabbed his sword, and sped toward the man.

at the same time.
Imperial residence.
Ueno Chinatsu knelt before Tachibana Chiyo, crying, and said, "Lady, please send someone to find my Lady."
When Masako Izumi left the Imperial Palace, Chinatsu Ueno was in a coma and did not wake up until the next day.
All she saw was a note left for her by the Imperial Palace on the table: "Chika, live well."
Ueno Chinatsu didn't know where Odaisho was going, but she knew he must be doing something, so she drugged her to avoid implicating her.
She dared not leave the Imperial Palace easily, fearing that she would be discovered by the shogunate and cause trouble for the Imperial Palace and the Emperor. So she had no choice but to ask Tachibana Chiyo for help.
