Upon command, over 20 soldiers from the Second Army jumped off their horses and equipped their crossbows in neat motions. Before Commander Cui had time to blink, the arrows flew out swiftly towards the civilians' legs. In an instant, the stricken civilians let out panicked cries of agony.
"Get them!" The young man's voice sounded like a panther letting out a low howl.
The warriors startled the civilians who were far out. They discarded their crossbows, taking their knives and charging in front. They were ruthless. Despite only using their sheaths, they were bloodthirsty. With each stroke, they smashed the civilians' heads with their sheaths. In a short while, over ten civilians lay dead on the floor.
"Get out of the way!"
