In the midst of the battle, Gu Qingshan notices that the men are under attack. He orders his men to hurry back to the front, but they do not. They are ambushed by two stinging cobras, which kill Fang. He tells the men to go to the back of the camp and apologize to Zhang, who has been killed. He also tells them that they should not have disobeyed his orders, as they are part of the military, and should be executed.
