Chapter 259

In less than two days, over 200,000 refugees had gathered at the roads along Songjiang, engaging in a standoff with the soldiers who were in their way. They included nobles, families, soldiers, and civilians who had escaped from the ravaged southwest regions.

As the roadblocks had been destroyed, the army of 20,000 soldiers could not stop the crowd from surging forward. A vice-general stood in front of the team, shouting hoarsely in a loud voice as he ordered the people to turn back and fight. However, no one paid attention to him. Wei Shuye rode on his horse as he looked on at the people passing by him.
