At the beginning, the harsh shouts rang out as they ran back and forth among the soldiers, yelling at them not to let their thoughts run wild, not to do anything excessive.
But obviously, their shouting was of no use, because that kind of deterrent was simply too strong.
Especially after a few more bangs, some who had been walking a bit too briskly were already shot down to the ground; seeing his miserable state, everyone's fear only grew stronger, and they became even more convinced that opposing the other side would not lead to any good end.
Precisely because of this, their resolve to surrender only grew stronger.
However, those people clearly had no intention of letting them have their way, and the way they stopped them was by having the supervising officers charge in.
What they had to do was to kill on the spot all those who chose to run or surrender.
