"The General is dead! The General is dead!"
The elderly of Little Yellow Mountain Village saw Song Gongbao axed to death by a familiar silhouette, and with the casualties of these past days, morale suddenly collapsed beyond redemption, retreating like a receding tide.
...
"What? Song Gongbao has died in battle?"
On the other side, upon receiving the news of Song Gongbao's death, Gao Qiu was not shocked but overjoyed, "He's finally dead..."
"Congratulations, Councilor Shu Mi! Joy to Councilor Shu Mi!"
A general next to him said with a sycophantic smile: "Though this traitorous general has died, his previous attacks showed his dedication... Our spies and light cavalry haven't found any reinforcements entering the city; in this case... the city's defenders must be at their wits' end. Why not withdraw the Southern Expedition General's Headquarters and replace it with the Imperial Court's celestial troops? The city will be breached within three days!"
