If they spared the surrendered soldiers, Zhao Feng's ten-thousand-strong surprise attack force would be rendered useless. The true path to victory was to show no mercy and utterly annihilate the Wei army stationed in Shangwei City.
"We will obey the general's command!" the soldiers of Qin responded in unison.
Led by Zhang Han, the Capital Commandants, and the Junhou, tens of thousands of soldiers charged into every corner of Shangwei City.
The city was not large, but the cries of battle soon enveloped it completely. This city was breached by Zhao Feng's surprise attack, which caught the Wei army as completely off guard as his river crossing had. Furthermore, this was a night raid, making it even harder to defend against.
Zhao Feng led his troops in a relentless charge. As his warhorse thundered past, his long spear reaped the lives of one Wei soldier after another.
