The stray arrows passed in front of the sky, but they were more to instill a sense of intimidation. Under the Crown Prince's forcefully suppression, the rebel army did not aim a terrifying rain of arrows at the palace walls. Thus, the pressure on the imperial soldiers defending the Royal Palace was immediately reduced. Although the sounds of killing rocked the heavens, it did not cause any damage to the Imperial Army. On the contrary, it was the imperial soldiers stationed in the direction of Taiping Square that faced the greatest danger.
Near the Royal Palace's front gate, the rebel army had the advantage of numbers. The thousands of rebel soldiers below the palace walls had split into three lines. They came wave after black wave.
Muffled sounds rang out continuously from the four towers in the Royal Palace. Each sound moved the people's heartstrings. The entire Palace shook a little. The powerful shaking symbolized the strength of the city guarding crossbows.
