Watching the soldiers push open the city gate, the captain ordered, "Get ready!"
Following his command, the soldiers of the Feng Army raised their spears.
Outside the city gate, the refugees saw that it had been opened from the inside and erupted in cheers.
"It's open! They opened the city gate!"
"We are saved!"
"Quick! We must get inside before they close the gate!"
As more and more refugees pushed forward, some fell and were trampled by the others. As soon as the gate opened a gap wide enough for an adult to pass through, the crowd surged forward.
Seeing this from the other side, the captain commanded, "Block the gate!"
As soon as he gave the command, the soldiers flipped their spears horizontally and slowly advanced in formation.
