"Die!!"
Lin Tian was right before their eyes, surrounded by arrows from the Yan army. How could Yan possibly let him go?
They feared Lin Tian wouldn't die, so more prepared to draw their bows and shoot, to completely kill Lin Tian.
Even more people watched Lin Tian intently, wanting to see how he would die.
However, their imaginations were beautiful, but before them, Lin Tian merely waved his sword gently, blocking waves of arrows.
With another wave of his sword, all the arrows in front of him were cleaved apart.
At this moment, many felt an illusion.
The arrows shot at Lin Tian were not fatal; they were mere blades of straw.
Although numerous, they possessed no destructive power whatsoever.
Even a gust of wind could easily blow them away.
No one had anticipated such a turn of events. The Yan generals were utterly dumbfounded.
"This, how is this possible? How could he cleave apart so many of our arrows so easily??"
"Heavens! Am I dreaming? Is he truly human? With such power, he must be a god!"
"I knew it, I had heard before that Lin Tian of Qin possessed terrifying combat power. He is no ordinary person. No one person could be this formidable. He is a god, a god of slaughter!"
Those who had never witnessed Lin Tian in action were simply stunned by his display.
They could never have imagined that such a powerful being existed in this world.
The enemy before him was like a scarecrow, to be slaughtered at will.
The arrows before him were like strands of straw, possessing no power to harm.
Lin Tian's combat prowess shattered their understanding, leaving many in a daze.
However, while they were stunned, Wang Wu and others were not.
Wang Wu and his men had witnessed Lin Tian's battles many times before.
Therefore, they considered Lin Tian's current actions to be routine.
While the Yan soldiers were in a stupor, he led his men to charge in and slaughter.
"Charge! Break through Yan!"
"Kill! Kill them all!"
As Wang Wu and his men raised their swords, numerous heads tumbled.
The splattering blood also jolted the Yan soldiers back to reality.
Regardless of how terrifying Lin Tian's combat power was, they still had to defend the city. They still had to protect their Yan.
Thus, shouts erupted.
"Hold them back! Quickly, hold them back! We cannot let them break through!"
"Everyone, charge with me! Fight these Qin soldiers to the death!"
The Yan generals, leading their soldiers, intended to fight Lin Tian's army with their lives.
However, the vanguard of Lin Tian's army was Lin Tian himself.
Where he passed, there was no talk of fighting to the death, only corpses strewn everywhere.
The generals who wished to fight to the death died at Lin Tian's hands before they could take more than a few steps.
Lin Tian, leading his army, was like a rolling machine, crushing the Yan army that stood in their path.
The blood and carnage left in their wake was so horrifying that a single glance induced terror.
The number of Yan soldiers who perished by Lin Tian's hand was incalculable.
Many trembled involuntarily upon seeing Lin Tian.
At this moment, Lin Tian spoke loudly:
"Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately, and your lives will be spared!"
His words were immediately heeded by some soldiers.
Many soldiers shouted at this moment:
"Lay down your weapons! Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Lay down your weapons! Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Lay down your weapons! Those who surrender will not be killed!"
These words were highly effective for the soldiers who had already been terrified into submission.
Many soldiers directly dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground.
They did not want to die; they wanted to live.
This threw the Yan generals into a frenzy.
"Those who surrender will not be killed" did not include them, the generals. They were nobles of Yan, and once they were defeated, Lin Tian would surely kill them.
Therefore, every single one of these generals shouted loudly:
"Stand up! Continue fighting! Do not believe their lies! We must take up our weapons and defend our Yan! Defend our homeland!"
These words had been very effective before, persuading many soldiers.
But now, many soldiers saw that numerous Yan soldiers had discarded their weapons and knelt on the ground. They were truly not killed and had survived.
They understood that the Qin people kept their word.
Therefore, regardless of how their generals shouted, many, many soldiers unhesitatingly dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground.
The sight of wave after wave of figures kneeling filled the Yan generals with despair.
They felt that the fate of Yan was sealed.
This was an outcome they could not accept.
Many among them were still struggling desperately, hoping that Yan could still achieve victory.
Another group, however, was fleeing rapidly into the Yan royal palace.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, disaster has struck! The Qin army has breached our city walls and is about to charge in!"
"What? They've breached our city walls? How could they move so fast? Were our soldiers and city walls made of paper?"
"Our army is in disarray and has little fighting strength. Before I entered the palace, I saw many soldiers discarding their weapons and surrendering. Yan has already lost! Your Majesty, we must flee!"
These men wanted to drag the King of Yan away from here. As long as the King of Yan lived, their Yan would endure, and they would have a chance to restore their nation.
They, the generals, would also continue to enjoy their noble status as generals.
They would not die here.
Therefore, they wanted the King of Yan to abandon everything, discard everything, and directly flee the capital to a more distant city in Yan, to survive for the time being.
Although living like this was deeply humiliating, at least they were still alive, at least they still had the name of Yan.
However, King Xi of Yan could not afford to care about humiliation. When Lin Tian's army attacked the city, he had already made preparations to retreat.
Therefore, when these generals spoke, he agreed without hesitation.
"Good, we leave now, flee from here, to other cities, and establish a new capital!"
Although King Xi of Yan had killed his own son and deceived the people of Yan, and was ruthless towards them, he himself was extremely fond of his own life. To survive, he would abandon anything.
The reputation he had valued before was now no different from dirt.
Upon receiving King Xi of Yan's affirmative response, everyone immediately sprang into action.
Carrying what King Xi of Yan had prepared, along with some of the royal family, court ministers, they prepared to flee the now ruined capital of Yan.
