Chapter 399: Victory or defeat determines the hero
Countless torches lit up the night sky with extraordinary splendor, cheers echoed throughout the fields, and the passion for victory burned in the crowd.
Such a scene and atmosphere seemed as if the war was over and everything people wanted was within reach. Zhu Gaoxu breathed a sigh of relief, and his face showed a hint of relaxation and fatigue under the light of the torch.
As he rode his horse, wherever he went, the cheers of the soldiers suddenly became louder. "King of Han! King of Han..." The shouts came one after another.

Two cannon shots were heard from the city wall. Qu Neng spurred his horse to move closer.The generals around him shouted, "It's dangerous! Commander Qu, don't let this get you down."There was a whizzing sound in the air, and a bunch of arrows fell on the ground in front of Qu Neng, nailing the ground densely.
