"Ah, you invaders will surely get your comeuppance!"
After annihilating the Iron Armor Army, the 300,000- Qi Family Army advanced with unstoppable momentum, tearing apart the remaining enemy forces with an almost ferocious ferocity.
After the flag of Great Liang was planted above Pingyu Pass, it symbolized that the second gateway to the Zhennan had been completely opened, Great Liang had gained an absolute advantage.
Looking at the devastated battlefield before him, Qi Jiguang let out a soft sigh.
My mission was to capture Pingyu Pass, and now that objective has been achieved, although Lu Donghongri has escaped, it does not affect the overall situation.
His expression suddenly became playful, his eyes revealing a smug look, and he chuckled, " The Qi Family Army's first battle has been a resounding success!"
This battle annihilated the enemy's elite Iron Armor Army, killing nearly 80,000 in total, while the casualties on their own side were almost negligible.
This is a perfect answer sheet; you truly deserve to be called Qi Jiguang.
"Depend on!"
Seeing Qi Jiguang's flamboyant demeanor, Zhang Fei couldn't help but roll his eyes. He thought Qi Jiguang was such a composed person, but it turns out he's a repressed flirt.
This guy is a completely different person when he's fighting.
However, this guy also had impressive strength. The fighting power of the Qi Family Army really shocked him; it was more formidable than that of ordinary armies.
That's right, it's heavy and substantial.
When Qi Family Army was advancing, the only adjective that came to mind was "impregnable".
It attacks while simultaneously employing an extremely effective defense, so you can see that its attacks are not fast, but they are unstoppable.
It just presses down steadily, and you can't do anything about it.
Qi Jiguang didn't notice Zhang Fei's gaze; his eyes were fixed on the city before him, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Now there are no more Zhennan soldiers here, and even most of the civilians have fled, leaving only the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled who can no longer move.
Their faces were filled with despair and resentment, and they all glared at Qi Jiguang, the culprit, as if they wanted to devour him alive.
abuse!
curse!
They even threw stones!
Upon seeing this, Qi Jiguang's expression immediately turned grim; these people were forcing him to kill.
The Great Liang always dealt with enemies filled with hatred in a simple and brutal manner, as clearly stipulated by wartime law.
Although he didn't want to kill ordinary people, if these people continued like this, he would have no choice but to take up the butcher's knife.
He took a deep breath, slowly stepped forward, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, Lu Donghongri has abandoned you and fled for his life alone."
But rest assured, my Great Liang loves peace and Win People Over with Virtue. We will never make things difficult for you ordinary people.
As long as you do not attack the soldiers of Great Liang, we will never harm civilians. We hope you will not misunderstand this!
He always makes sure to state the unpleasant aspects of his actions upfront.
It's best if these people don't make a move; otherwise, I'd have no choice but to go on a killing spree.
After all, the interests of Great Liang come first, and people from other countries are subordinate to Great Liang. If it really comes to that, all we can do is apologize.
Wars between nations are always bloody.
The translator relayed Qi Jiguang's words to the people, who immediately erupted in anger, their teeth clenched in fury—clearly not a pleasant reaction.
One of the civilians suddenly stood up, gritting his teeth, and said, "You invaders, you speak so righteously, yet you've killed so many of us!"
"My brothers died on the battlefield, you are the executioners, you will all die a horrible death!" someone else stepped forward and roared.
Huh!
Qi Jiguang was taken aback; it was rather strange that these people actually understood the language of the Great Liang.
Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Fei, who was standing to the side, couldn't hold back any longer.
He punched the most boisterous civilian in front of him to the ground, then roared, "On the battlefield, it's either you or me. You think I'm playing games with you on the battlefield?"
If you don't want to die, don't go to the battlefield. Once you're on the battlefield, your life and death are in the hands of fate.
Besides, you, Zhennan, aren't any better. Haven't you killed a lot of people?
Why did the Great Liang attack you? It's because you destroyed our vassal states! To put it bluntly, you are the executioners!
Holy shit!
Since becoming the Grand Master of Ceremonies, he had never lost an argument. These people before him were now prisoners, yet they still dared to argue; they really hadn't died before.
Talking about executioners in the face of war is nonsense; who's really pulling the strings?
If I don't kill enemies on the battlefield, am I supposed to fall in love with you?
"You!!!"
This statement left the person who had spoken earlier speechless and unable to say anything.
After all, the rise of the Zhennan Dynasty was accompanied by bloodshed. The number of people killed was countless, and they even carried out massacres of entire cities, which is why Zhennan was known as the tyrant of the highlands.
A bully is evil, of course!
Moreover, the reason given by the Great Liang for sending troops was to avenge their subordinates, so they had no way to refute this statement.
Zhang Fei glanced at him coldly and said disdainfully, "Besides, our Emperor has already given you a chance, sending Zhao Zhong, the kindest general of our Great Liang, to communicate with you."
But you weren't given the opportunity you had!
Our General Zhao has always advocated peace with foreign powers. He even sheds tears when killing chickens. What a wonderful person he is!
Our Emperor sent him here with great care, hoping to discuss a peaceful resolution with you.
As a result, you not only rejected our Emperor's goodwill, but also pierced his trusted general Zhao's heart with a thousand arrows, leaving his body riddled with holes. Zhennan depraved you are!
Now tell me, who is the executioner?
His words were powerful and resounding, silencing the entire room.
If the kind people are killed, then naturally everyone left will be evil.
Forehead!
Qi Jiguang, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded. This Zhao Zhong was clearly disliked by the emperor, which was why he was sent here to die.
According to Zhang Fei, the emperor wanted to bestow favors upon the Zhennan Dynasty, which is why he specially sent this kindest general.
Good heavens!
No wonder the Emperor appointed him as Grand Master of Ceremonies; with this guy's shamelessness alone, he's already unbeatable.
"The kindest commander?"
After the explanation, the people of Zhennan looked at each other in disbelief. The person who had been so easily killed by their own general was actually the kindest person in Great Liang.
No wonder they took them down so easily; it turns out they weren't there to fight at all.
If that's the case, aren't we just reaping what we sowed?
Since the kindest person, the one who brought peace to Zhennan, was killed, Great Liang naturally sent its most ruthless people.
"This..."
"How so?"
They were all in disbelief. How could this be? It was one of their own who had extinguished the last glimmer of hope.
