The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

The shouts of the Seven Heroes of Chifeng were like thunder.

Their aura was also imposing and fearless.

This incident further solidified the wavering resolve of many who were already wavering.

Should we follow the commander, or... stay where we are?

"Brothers, you risked your entire families to start this rebellion, and now she wants you to surrender to the Empress with just a word? Do you want to give up your service in supporting the new emperor? Do you want to give up your wealth and glory? Or do you simply want to entrust your lives to that foolish Empress?"

"You treat us like fish on a chopping block, and others like butchers on a chopping board?"

"You guys are really willing?"

The Seven Heroes of Chifeng had been in the army for a long time. Although their overall abilities were much inferior to Lin Zixiao's, they knew just as much about military affairs as Lin Zixiao. With just a few words, they hit the nail on the head regarding the pain points of the soldiers.

As a result, some people who had already stood in front of Lin Zixiao's team took a few steps back and returned to their original positions.

This infuriated Lin Zixiao.

Knowing that further discussion would be pointless, the only option left is...

Severing all ties!

"Very well, as the saying goes, those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. Since the seven of you are no longer willing to follow me, Lin Zixiao, from this day forward, I, Lin Zixiao, will have nothing to do with you. From now on, you and I are enemies, not friends!"

Lin Zixiao was quite decisive and directly tore open his clothes.

With a flash of the blade at his waist, the long robe was cleaved in two.

His desolate yet resolute gaze instantly saddened the seven members of the Seven Heroes of Chifeng, but Bai Zixuan still needed their protection, and Little King Kong was even more precious to them, so for now, it didn't matter.

So the seven of them all imitated Lin Zixiao's mannerisms.

To sever ties and break off relations.

after that……

Lin Zixiao, with 20,000 men willing to follow him, turned and left.

The Seven Heroes of Chifeng did not stop them.

They had a total of 120,000 troops, but Lin Zixiao only took 20,000 with him. Although there were some losses, they were not significant, and they still had the strength to attack the capital. So they let Lin Zixiao leave one by one.

As dusk approached, Lin Zixiao, leading an army of 20,000, dawdled along the way, not immediately returning to the capital. Instead, just as they were about to reach the city gates, he suddenly ordered the entire army to halt.

"Brothers, I, Lin Zixiao, led an army that started with a mere few thousand men and has now grown to two hundred thousand outside the capital. This has never been about sheer numbers!"

Before his 20,000-strong army could even understand what Lin Zixiao meant, he suddenly issued a military order: "Everyone, follow me, straight to Suwon!"

"We need to get to Suwon as quickly as possible!"

"Burn their supplies!"

The 20,000-strong army was instantly shocked.

Especially the senior generals among them.

Because it was very clear that Suwon was the largest grain and fodder storage place for the 200,000-strong army. If that place were burned down, the remaining 180,000 troops would probably not have enough rations for five days each.

The key is……

This will be an extremely serious blow to that army of 180,000!

A huge psychological blow!

Many of these people regretted their choices on the way back, feeling that they might have made the wrong choice and that what should have been a smooth road might have turned into a dead end. However, Lin Zixiao's words invigorated them.

With such a capable and decisive commander whose strength is clearly superior to that of the Seven Heroes of Chifeng, even if the sky were to fall, he could hold on!

Thus, a mere 20,000 people headed towards Suwon with lightning speed, taking advantage of the darkness and the time difference to make everything exactly as Lin Zixiao had predicted!

The garrison for supplies in Suwon has not yet been replaced.

The defenses in Suwon remain the same as before!

As a result, Lin Zixiao did not even have to kill anyone. He easily entered Shuiyuan by relying solely on his prestige. Soon after, a huge fire broke out, and countless grain supplies were destroyed.

The Seven Heroes of Chifeng, realizing the situation too late, were immediately thrown into a panic!

They mobilized almost all their elite forces in a frantic rescue effort.

Especially the third brother, Shen Xiao, who, as the cavalry commander, led his cavalry at breakneck speed.

but……

All seven heroes of Chifeng arrived, but Lin Zixiao was nowhere to be found.

All that remained was ruins.

Just as the Seven Heroes of Chifeng were gritting their teeth in hatred, wishing they could devour Lin Zixiao's flesh and blood, they looked up and saw another crimson expanse in the distance.

That direction...

This is precisely where their 180,000-strong army is stationed!

"Oh no! Lin Zixiao has led his men straight towards our camp!"

"Zixuan is still there, and Xiaojingang is still there!"

"Quickly, quickly, go save them!"

……

The Seven Heroes of Chifeng immediately rushed from Shuiyuan to the main camp.

The faster you come, the faster you return.

However, just as they led their men through a canyon, rocks rained down from the sky, and countless logs and boulders fell from both sides, crushing their already exhausted bodies into pieces.

Fortunately, the canyon is relatively wide.

Moreover, Lin Zixiao's main purpose was not to kill their main force, but to intimidate and suppress them; his goal was to recruit them.

This meant that the damage was not serious.

After these few moves, the Seven Heroes of Chifeng were already dejected.

"Lin Zixiao, your plans are truly flawless!"

The eldest brother, Xiao Lie, was the vanguard general and the one among the Seven Heroes of Chifeng who originally had the best chance of succeeding Lin Zixiao. He quickly realized how terrifying Lin Zixiao was.

"He calculated everything perfectly. He knew we would go to rescue Suwon, and he also knew we would have to come back to rescue the main camp. So, he left infantry behind on his way to Suwon to ambush us!"

"Ha, ha, ha, what a clever scheme."

"What a cunning scheme, Lin Zixiao."

"I never realized how powerful he was when I was working for him. I never expected that now that we're rivals, we'd be completely crushed in just one encounter."

While the eldest brother, Xiao Lie, was still sighing, the other six perked up again, after all, Bai Zixuan's fate was still unknown.

Fortunately, when they arrived at the camp, they successfully found Bai Zixuan.

Little King Kong has been found.

Lin Zixiao was probably unaware that Bai Zixuan was their weakness and did not deliberately target her. However, instead of targeting Bai Zixuan, Lin Zixiao launched an attack on their exhausted army that had just arrived.

Lin Zixiao's forces clearly number more than 20,000.

I'm afraid it'll cost around 50,000 or 60,000.

Clearly, after this wave, even more people, either to save their lives or because they were intimidated by Lin Zixiao, voluntarily joined his side.

Lin Zixiao, now leading his men, launched an attack on them.

In the afternoon, they still held an absolute advantage with 180,000 troops, but now... they have almost been completely defeated!

"It's over, it's over. The wealth and glory I promised Zixuan are gone."

"Little King Kong, you won't be able to sit on the throne anymore."

"Zixuan, I... I'm so sorry."

……

The Seven Heroes of Chifeng were all frustrated, and some even broke down.

Bai Zixuan, however, remained optimistic.

"What's there to be afraid of? Our men were just scattered, not killed. We can just gather them back together. Besides..." Bai Zixuan's face revealed strong confidence: "Our Tongxin Alliance has 10,000 troops, and they are already on their way."

"I believe it will arrive in the next two days."

"They were all armed with firearms, and the most advanced firearms at that!"

"With these ten thousand Divine Machine Battalion soldiers at our command, what can Lin Zixiao do, no matter how powerful he is?"

"I will surely teach him a lesson he can neither live nor die!"
