In General Yang Zhi's army, the men were already exhausted and the horses worn out.
Now, blasted by these cannon shells, their will to fight completely collapsed, and in an instant they all scattered and fled back.
Lin Chong knew that unless Yang Zhi and his men were beaten badly enough, they would never voluntarily surrender.
He ordered the artillery fire to be extended, and under the direction of the lookout in the sky, they bombarded Yang Zhi for a full hundred li before finally stopping.
The soldiers on the city walls all erupted in cheers; it was the first time they had ever seen such an easy battle.
No one even needed to move, and the entire enemy army was driven off.
Someone happily suggested to Lin Chong, "Great General, let's hurry and ride out in pursuit. We can definitely wipe out Yang Zhi and all his men!"
