371: Chapter 371 Zhang Liang Escapes

"Charge!"

Even though the death warriors were severely wounded after being hit by bullets and suddenly became weak, the assault boats still maintained a considerable speed due to inertia. Before long, the blazing assault boats crashed into the Great Qin warships.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

Bullets continuously struck these death warriors, yet they exerted every ounce of their strength to ignite fire oil jars and hurl them onto the Great Qin warships.

These ships were originally wooden vessels that relied on sails, and the sails were the first to be ignited.

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

While the Great Qin Lou Chuan Soldiers were busy killing the enemy, they were also occupied with extinguishing the fires.

The attack by these death warriors successfully diverted all the attention of the Great Qin Lou Chuan Soldiers.

Zhang Liang suppressed the agonizing pain in his heart and led the actual breakout team, driving an assault boat toward the fifty-meter gap.

The Great Qin Lou Chuan Soldiers were preoccupied with killing the lunging death warriors and fighting the fires; even if they noticed Zhang Liang and the Mohist Disciples breaking out, they could not spare the effort to stop them.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

The revolvers of the Great Qin Lou Chuan Soldiers were like the Grim Reaper's scythe, continuously harvesting the lives of Zhang Liang's death warriors.

Every gunshot felt like a knife being ruthlessly stabbed into Zhang Liang's heart.

Seeing the death warriors with blood continuously flowing out caused his heart to shatter into countless pieces.

Zhang Liang no longer looked back as the assault boat carried him away from the scene.

"Brave warriors, I, Zhang Liang, have failed you!"

Zhang Liang's face was covered in tears, his fists were tightly clenched, and his nails dug deep into his palms, leaving behind streaks of blood.

He knew that this battle would become a wound in his heart that would never heal, and this guilt would accompany him for the rest of his life.

Within the Water Fortress permeated with the scent of smoke and blood, the Great Qin Lou Chuan Soldiers, clad in armor and wielding revolvers, surged in like a tide.

The surrendered Water Bandits huddled in corners in terror, watching these majestic Great Qin Lou Chuan Soldiers out of the corners of their trembling eyes.

They had already been psychologically scarred by the Great Qin Lou Chuan Soldiers.

The moment Sheng Tao stepped into the Water Fortress, his gaze began to search urgently for one figure—Zhang Liang.

In his heart, Zhang Liang was a major threat to Great Qin!

This man possessed extraordinary strategic brilliance and frequently caused trouble for Great Qin's rule; he had to be captured to eliminate any future trouble!

Thus, after following the Great Qin Lou Chuan Soldiers into the Water Fortress, he walked straight toward the surrendered Peng Yue.

Peng Yue's heart was as terrified as the other Water Bandits, unsure of what his fate would be.

He also didn't know if his choice to surrender was the right one.

He was also regretting that he hadn't followed Zhang Liang and left.

It was mainly because, under the bombardment of the mortars, he had lost all his ambition.

His gaze had truly been blasted into a state of dazed clarity.

Sheng Tao walked up to him in a few steps and asked, "Where is Zhang Liang? Speak!"

Peng Yue said slowly, "The strategist has already left."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Tao quickly shouted, "Go and pursue Zhang Liang!"

Zhang Liang was an important target for them, so Lou Chuan Soldiers immediately went to pursue him.

However, according to reports from the Great Qin Lou Chuan Soldiers' outer guards, a remnant force of Yunmengze Water Bandits had successfully broken through the encirclement.

They had already dispatched the county guards to pursue them.

Hearing this, the muscles on Sheng Tao's face instantly tightened, and his eyes were filled with frustration.

After a figure like Zhang Liang escaped, he would surely continue to cause trouble for Great Qin, and perhaps even incite more people to rise up against Great Qin!
