The wife of Zhou, also from a military family, put on her armor after giving Zhou Qi instructions and headed straight for the South City Gate after leaving the General Military Residence.
Ning Ye's main attack was on the South City Gate of Liangzhou.
Zhou Qi, holding the token given by Lady Zhou, ordered several trusted aides to ride quickly to the East, West, and North City Gates to pass orders, commanding all soldiers to withdraw with her from the North City Gate.
The soldiers at the South City Gate, having lost their commanding officers in succession, scattered like loose sand. Officers who shared comradeship with Zhou Wu couldn't bear it and rushed forward one by one, only to become ghostly victims of the swords of the Biyun Mountain masters. Soon after, Lady Zhou and her two daughters came and fell under the sword in an instant.
The South City Gate broke, with the 150,000 soldiers there dead, wounded, or surrendered.
