The city of Nanjing has eighteen gates on all four sides, and Bai Qi broke through the largest one of them.
This also means that a huge, bloody gash has been torn open in the magnificent city of Nanjing.
The nearby Qing army swarmed in through the bloody gash.
Although the Qi army urgently mobilized its forces, intending to annihilate Bai Qi's party,
However, in places like Nanjing City, which are not very open,
Even with hundreds of thousands of troops, the Northern Qi dynasty simply couldn't effectively utilize them.
Bai Qi had already reached the upper level of the ninth rank.
Leading thousands of cavalry in a charge.
How could the Northern Qi forces possibly withstand them?
In addition, Uesugi Tora's injuries had not yet healed.
There wasn't a single ninth-rank military officer left in the entire Northern Qi army who could rival Bai Qi.
They charged forward,
It possessed a fierce and indomitable aura, capable of killing anyone who stood in its way.
Of course, the terrifying scene of Bai Qi breaking through the city with a single sword also terrified many Qi soldiers.
They naturally didn't know.
Bai Qi's terrifying power just now was only enough for one strike.
After all, it was borrowed from Li Chengqian, not something he owned himself.
In fact,
Even Uesugi Tora was trembling at this moment.
The power of that sword strike was terrifying; it was simply beyond human capabilities.
The massive city gate was shattered with a single sword strike.
In this world,
It is likely that only a Grandmaster could possess such incredible power!
Uesugi Tora found it hard to believe.
He had personally fought against Bai Qi not long ago.
Although he ended up with serious injuries.
But he knew very well that Bai Qi at that time was by no means a grandmaster.
That is, a normally powerful ninth-rank official.
But Bai Qi is now able to unleash the power of a Grandmaster.
This was something he truly couldn't understand!
His expression grew increasingly somber, and he felt utterly powerless as he looked at everything before him.
The current situation is beyond his control.
"Imperial Advisor, where are you?"
Uesugi Tora looked around, searching for Kuhe's figure.
However, the next second, he sensed two unusually terrifying auras somewhere outside Nanjing City.
One of the dishes was very familiar to him, and it came from Kuhe.
And the opposite of that,
Although he was somewhat unfamiliar, his ability to stand shoulder to shoulder with Ku He clearly indicated that he was also a grandmaster.
Bai Qi's sword strike was likely from a Grandmaster level.
Now, the Qing Kingdom has dispatched another Grandmaster.
Faced with the combined might of two grandmasters, even the Imperial Preceptor Ku He would likely be unable to withstand the attack alone.
"Any news from Dongyi City?"
Uesugi Torata asked the adjutant beside him.
The lieutenant said dejectedly, "Dongyi City has replied that reinforcements are on their way, but it should take about three more days for them to arrive in Nanjing City."
Uesugi Tora became increasingly silent.
Here, 893 of 96, four 460.
Neither he nor the Dongyi people could have imagined that Nanjing City would fall so quickly.
Grandmasters are indeed all eccentric monsters.
"Pass on my order to immediately and orderly evacuate Nanjing and head to Jianmen Pass. We will make further plans once reinforcements from Dongyi City arrive."
Uesugi Tora hesitated for a moment, then said 137.
Ultimately, this difficult decision was made.
Keep fighting.
This will only completely deplete the fighting forces of Northern Qi.
Once the army is almost wiped out, the fall of the Northern Qi will not be far off.
However, if they can preserve their strength and wait for reinforcements from Dongyi City to arrive,
It is even possible that they will launch a counter-offensive against Nanqing.
However, this also means that he will lead the Northern Qi army to abandon Nanjing.
The million people of Qi in Nanjing City will all fall into the hands of Nanqing.
To ensure the stability of Nanjing City, Qin Ye is highly likely to massacre the entire city.
He had fought against Qin Ye for many years.
Given Qin Ye's temperament, he is absolutely capable of massacring an entire city.
However, compared to the perilous state of Qi,
Although this decision was difficult, it is the best option at present.
At this moment, Bai Qi led his iron cavalry in a charge.
With the subsequent influx of support from the Qing army,
The entire battlefield is gradually advancing.
Bai Qi wielded his longsword with a cold and steady demeanor.
With each swing, several Qi soldiers were sure to die by his sword.
suddenly,
He noticed that the pressure around him had instantly lessened.
Looking up, I saw that the Qi army in the distance had already begun to retreat.
He knew that the Northern Qi were about to withdraw and did not intend to fight the Qing army to the death here.
This also means that the Battle of Nanjing has come to a complete end.
As the main force that led the capture of the city in the first battle, he was undoubtedly the greatest contributor to this victory!
An invisible force surged into the world.
He could already feel the surging true energy within his body rapidly increasing.
The Grandmaster realm is within reach!
Outside Nanjing City, Ku He and Ye Liuyun exchanged blows several times in an instant.
The violent force swept away everything in its vicinity.
Even the air itself was exploding violently.
The two retreated instantly, and a flush rose on Ku He's face.
Ye Liuyun's aura also had a somewhat obscure quality.
Ye Liuyun glanced at Nanjing City from afar. "Nanjing City has fallen. Without the advantage of the city, Northern Qi is bound to be defeated. Why do you continue to pester us?"
Ku He did not refute, but remained silent.
He felt an unprecedented sense of unease when facing the current state of Qing Kingdom.
The fleeting aura of a grandmaster he had just witnessed left him unable to remain calm.
A change is imminent.
The issue is no longer about the gains or losses of Nanjing City alone.
Rather, it was about the survival of the entire Northern Qi dynasty.
The only option now is to wait for the Eastern Barbarians to arrive with their swords before we can make any further plans.
Given the Northern Qi's intention to retreat...
The battle finally came to a complete end at sunset.
Uesugi Tora led the Qi army to withdraw in an orderly manner from the other three directions.
They took most of their troops and moved to Jianmen Pass.
Only a small number remained to cover the rear.
After the Qing army completely wiped out the remaining Qi army, Nanjing City completely changed hands.
In an instant, Bai Qi stood atop countless corpses.
An incredibly powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body.
Almost naturally,
He broke through the barrier that had stopped countless people in their tracks, and stepped into the realm of Grandmaster in one fell swoop!
