With a single command, behind Jiuyun Shuang, an orderly array of more than five thousand line infantry mixed with other troop types advanced with resolute steps, grandly charging towards the defenseless Yipa settlement.
For a moment, Jiuyun Shuang wanted to retract the attack order, as it involved over ten thousand elderly, women, and children.
But the circumstances did not allow him to relent; the new army needed bloodshed to grow, and destroying such a settlement would significantly weaken the combat strength of the Yipa army.
Although the Wen Family always loved to emphasize benevolence and righteousness, they treated their enemies more ruthlessly than anyone else when it came to their own interests.
This battle, devoid of suspense, lasted roughly a day, with the settlement of over ten thousand people suffering a devastating blow. The death toll exceeded four thousand, with many injured. Fewer than a thousand managed to flee.
