Outside Fengjiang City, in a forested area, the ground was littered with bomb craters of all sizes; trees lay toppled in disarray, mixed with some fragmented corpses.
Walking out of this forest, one could see the smoke-laden district of Fengjiang City in the distance. It appeared as if it was ablaze on the horizon.
The Tang Army had dropped at least 3,000 aerial bombs here, destroying a large number of buildings within the city district.
Thousands upon thousands of Dahua people were leaving the city that was no longer liveable; it had essentially become one massive barracks.
General Feng Kezhi was in a covert underground bunker in the suburbs, looking at the map and witnessing the fine line inching closer to the district of Fengjiang City.
This line represented the Tang Army's troops, which were rapidly nearing Fengjiang City. The hundreds of thousands of troops he had deployed here, in the end, had failed to halt the advance of the Tang Army.
