At the city gate, the mountain of corpses silently told the story of what had happened.
Streams of blood flowed together, and the thick smell of blood mixed with the stench of death filled every corner of Cangzhou City.
Even after the barbarian troops retreated, the defenders dared not relax. No one could be sure if the retreat was real or just another trap.
The city gate had been blasted open by barbarian explosives, and the damage was severe.
Zhan Xingchang immediately organized slaves to begin repairs. Meanwhile, other soldiers stacked the corpses of barbarian soldiers to block the gap in the gate.
“This one’s still alive!”
A voice would occasionally shout, followed by the final scream of a dying enemy.
After ten days and nights of brutal fighting, the Qingzhou Army had become calm and composed. When they saw barbarian soldiers, there was no fear—only the steady swing of their blades.
No prisoners.
That was Xiao Ming’s order.
The barbarians had long used terror tactics—slaughtering cities, killing captives—to frighten the Great Yu Empire.
