Chapter 990 - 427: Rivers of Blood, the Restoration of Great Yu (Part 2)
This is a high-stakes gamble, a gamble concerning the life and death and future of three families.
Victory is the only option; defeat is not!
......
The deaths of Wanyan Ying and Tuoba Kang were undoubtedly the final straw that broke the psychological defenses of the Great Jin soldiers. The battlefield now turned completely one-sided, and the slaughter by the Red Flame Army grew even more ferocious. As the sky began to brighten, the bloodshed beneath the south gate continued, becoming increasingly horrific with time.
"Surrender, surrender!"
"Spare us, spare us."
...
More and more Great Jin soldiers started to lay down their weapons and surrender. They even abandoned the thought of escaping entirely because the city gates were already tightly shut, and from the inner city, more citizens poured out incessantly, some of whom were also martial artists, surging forward to block them. Together with the Red Flame Army charging from the outer perimeters, they continuously slaughtered them.
With pursuers in the front and blockades behind, escape was hopeless, and surrender became the only option.
Most of the Red Flame Army continued their frenzied slaughter, but a few, especially those who were the fiercest in the charge, showed a brief hesitation upon seeing the Great Jin soldiers lay down their weapons in surrender. They all looked up at Hou Yucheng and Hou Yujie at the forefront.
"Continue the pursuit, drive them into the midst of the citizens!"
Hou Yucheng, about to turn back to inquire, suddenly heard Hou Yuxiao's voice in his mind. His brows furrowed, and he immediately saw the citizens from behind also joining the chase and blockade of the Great Jin soldiers and quickly realized the situation.
