The weapons of the Qin soldiers were all made of steel, not only incredibly sharp but also remarkably gleaming.
Merely by drawing them, they commanded attention.
Upon seeing the Qin soldiers draw their weapons, the people of Lingnan immediately understood their intentions.
"They are going to fight us to the death! Everyone, act quickly!!"
"These Qin people know their terrifying weapons are no longer effective, so they intend to fight us to the death! Our true moment of slaughter has arrived!!"
"Warriors, kill them! Annihilate them all and avenge our Lingnan warriors!!"
The mention of vengeance ignited fury in many Lingnan warriors, their eyes turning red.
They had already sacrificed far too many to resist the Qin army.
The previous expedition of a thousand men had vanished without a trace, and though the surprise attack by five thousand this time was successful, those five thousand were also lost forever.
Recalling this, their hearts ached.
Thus, their resolve was now absolute: to eliminate the Qin soldiers.
Especially since the outcome of this battle directly impacted the safety of their entire tribe.
Under such circumstances, they had no other choice.
Protecting their tribe was their paramount concern.
If they could not even protect their own tribe, then their efforts today would have been in vain.
With this thought, the eyes of many Lingnan warriors turned red.
"Kill! Do not hold back our ferocity!!"
"Charge!!"
Amidst the roars, the Lingnan warriors finally clashed with the Qin soldiers.
At this moment, there were no bomb bombardments upon them.
Therefore, the people of Lingnan believed their time for vengeance had arrived.
They assumed that without the bombs, the Qin soldiers would be no match for them.
Indeed, their fantasies were beautiful, but the reality of the ensuing battle was entirely different from what they had imagined.
When their weapons met those of the Qin soldiers, they immediately felt something was wrong.
Their supposedly sturdy and sharp weapons, upon contact with the Qin soldiers' arms, snapped like twigs.
With ease, the sharp swords in the hands of the Qin soldiers severed their weapons.
As they held their broken short swords and looked at the Qin soldiers, they were stunned.
"This, this...!"
During battle, complete weapons were essential.
Without intact weapons, they were like tigers that had lost their teeth.
Despite their ambition, they were helpless against their opponents.
Looking at the broken remnants in their hands, many were utterly bewildered.
"How, how is this possible? How can their weapons be so formidable??"
"I can't comprehend it, but it seems each of them possesses incredibly fearsome weapons!!"
"Too terrifying. I suddenly feel that this Qin army is truly dreadful! We might not be their match!!"
With their weapons broken, the Lingnan warriors were jolted back to their senses.
They realized that their warriors might not be able to defeat the Qin army.
And if they charged forward, they were likely to be defeated by the Qin forces.
Many of them wouldn't even have a chance to attack the Qin army.
After all, without weapons, they were nothing before the Qin soldiers.
The Qin soldiers were unaware of these thoughts.
As these warriors charged towards them, the Qin soldiers, without hesitation, ferociously attacked.
Shattering their weapons was merely the beginning of the assault.
In the next moment, their weapons relentlessly struck the Lingnan warriors.
Those Lingnan warriors were instantly cut down.
The immense power they wielded instantly annihilated the Lingnan warriors.
The Qin soldiers' strength was not lacking; on the contrary, their combat prowess was exceptional.
Otherwise, they would not have been able to conquer nations.
The reason they had not displayed such formidable strength in Lingnan was entirely due to Lin Tian holding them back.
Had Lin Tian not restrained their actions, they would have engaged the Lingnan forces long ago.
Perhaps by now, the people of Lingnan would have paid a much higher price and understood the might of the Qin soldiers.
However, precisely because they had not acted previously, the Lingnan warriors had consistently underestimated them.
It was only when they truly began to fight that they finally grasped the true power of the Qin soldiers.
Originally, the Lingnan warriors had charged forward with reckless abandon.
But as they truly engaged in combat, they discovered everything had changed.
Their charge had lost all momentum.
Not only that, but their charge had failed, and the Qin army was now charging at them.
The immense power they unleashed was crushing, causing the Lingnan warriors to quickly contemplate retreat.
They felt an overwhelming power from the Qin soldiers.
"No, we cannot continue fighting them! If we persist, we will face grave trouble!!"
"These Qin soldiers are far too fierce; we are no match for them. It is not wise to fight them!!"
"Retreat! It is not too late to retreat now!!"
Some Lingnan warriors realized their predicament and wished to withdraw from the battlefield.
They all sensed that the Qin soldiers' attacks were too powerful for them to withstand.
Therefore, fleeing was their best option.
However, while some understood, others did not.
Despite being at a disadvantage, they continued to fight.
At this moment, they still failed to grasp the dire situation.
And because of this, they truly clashed head-on with the Qin army.
Such a confrontation was, naturally, detrimental to the Lingnan forces.
As a result, a large number of Lingnan warriors perished at the hands of the Qin soldiers.
The Qin soldiers showed no hesitation in dispatching these Lingnan warriors.
The ferocity of their attacks was enough to inspire awe and dread.
Soon, the Lingnan warriors suffered a crushing defeat.
Many among them had initially been unwilling to flee, but at this point, even if they did not want to, they had no choice but to escape.
The cry of retreat further shattered the resolve of all the Lingnan warriors.
