The old emperor only desires immortality; you must not rebel.

Outside Kongshan City,

Heavy snow fell from the sky, accompanied by howling winds.

On the other side of the horizon, a massive army slowly approached.

The sound of warhorses pounding the earth was like thunder!

The sweltering heat from the breath of hundreds of thousands of people almost melted the snow that blanketed the entire world.

A flag rises from the horizon!

It gradually emerged from the wind and snow.

The iron hooves and wheels of the warhorses left deep ruts on the snow.

As far as the eye can see, there is an army that stretches as far as the eye can see.

At the very front were heavily armored cavalrymen, both men and horses clad in armor!

Behind the heavily armored cavalry were heavily armored infantrymen clad in heavy armor and wielding heavy cavalry swords.

On both sides of the army formation were densely packed lightly armored cavalry.

The densely packed army completely occupied this already small piece of land.

The air seemed to be filled with the stench of blood!

The neighing of warhorses mingled together in a single line!

The drums suddenly sounded!

The crisp sound of drums echoed between heaven and earth, like muffled thunder rolling down from the depths of the sky.

The military governors of the three towns were very efficient. From entering the southwest region to surrounding Kongshan City, it only took two days.

They were also afraid that the Holy Emperor would escape, and even more afraid that someone would rescue him.

On the city wall of Kongshan, the Holy Emperor stood in full armor, with a long halberd beside him.

Looking at the endless army, the people remaining in the city showed deep fear in their eyes.

A force ratio of six to one!

In a sense, it is a huge gap of one to six hundred thousand.

One Holy Emperor!

Against an army of 600,000!

Beside the Holy Emperor lay a jug of wine, aged liquor unearthed from the residences of corrupt officials within the city.

The Holy Emperor raised the wine jug and drank wildly, his face showing little fear.

"Are you really not planning to leave?"

Liu Ying gritted her teeth, her face full of helplessness.

If the dog emperor had been willing to leave earlier, none of this would have happened.

"If we leave now, there's still a chance."

Liu Ying really couldn't understand what this dog emperor was thinking.

The Holy Emperor set down the wine pot, his expression calm: "I am the Son of Heaven!"

"The emperor may die, but the emperor cannot retreat!"

"The emperor guards the nation's gates; the monarch dies for the state!"

The Holy Emperor raised his halberd, his tone calm: "Besides, I might not necessarily lose!"

"You still don't believe me!"

Liu Ying paused for a moment, thinking of the Holy Emperor's great power, and inexplicably gained a bit more confidence.

Within the massive military formation, a column slowly emerged.

Three burly men in full armor slowly rode out.

These three men were none other than the military governors of the three towns.

Li Shutong!

Lu Xun!

Luo Yao!

All three were once powerful figures in the Daqing military, and their ancestors had received imperial favor for generations.

As a military governor, he already possessed immense power!

"Gentlemen, from today onwards, that seat will be occupied!"

Li Shutong held the reins, a smile on her face.

Unlike the other two, Li Shutong was dressed as a scholar.

The emperor was able to hold onto that position because none of the military governors were willing to submit to the others, and naturally, none of them would allow the other to take that position.

Moreover, the world is not yet in great chaos, and the emperor is not yet dead. If a coup is staged, it is easy to become the first to stand out and be condemned as a mere household commander.

No one wants to be accused of regicide and usurpation after becoming emperor.

But now they can't care about that anymore!

The emperor's power grew stronger and stronger, and his prestige among the people rose higher and higher.

The emperor's tax of favors applies to everyone in the world.

Even if it's not their turn yet, it will be their turn someday.

At that time, will they resist or not?

Neither of these scenarios is what they want to see.

They had naturally heard of the emperor's many miraculous abilities, but were they really going to make them kneel down and beg for mercy?

They had all survived countless deaths and were used to life and death; at worst, they would just die.

But the Holy Emperor's exploitation made them wish they were dead!

This time, they also have the support of major powerful families and influential figures.

This shows that the people have suffered under the emperor for too long!

Without them, even if a coup were to succeed, it would be difficult to secure the throne.

Lu Xun snorted coldly, looked up at the distant city walls, and said in a cold voice, "With an army of 600,000, he can be considered the greatest in history!"

This is enough military force to start a national war!

"hehe!"

"History books won't record this!"

Luo Yao shook his head and chuckled.

History books will only record that they quelled the rebellion in the southwest and were great contributors to the Daqing Dynasty. As for anything else, there will be no record of it in history books.

The Emperor is still in the palace!

Lu Xun raised his eyes to gaze into the distance, a murderous intent surging in them, and said in a deep voice, "To avoid any unforeseen complications, we must act quickly!"

"Pass down the order!"

Lu Xun glanced at his adjutant beside him, his tone growing colder: "Slay every last man and dog in the entire Empty Mountain City!"

From this moment on, not a single living creature can leave the entire Kongshan City.

They had already thoroughly investigated the situation in Kongshan City.

There were not many garrison troops in the entire city, so they could charge without any scruples.

With the order given, the vast army began to move.

The heavily armored cavalry were the first to charge!

The light cavalry would flank from both sides, using arrows to harass and be ready to support the advancing heavy cavalry.

"Rumble..."

The heavy rumble of warhorses echoed across the battlefield.

Amidst the swirling snow, the three thousand heavy cavalry gradually accelerated and then began a wild gallop.

Three thousand heavy cavalrymen were enough to resolve a battle in the era of cold weapons, becoming a key element in changing the course of a war.

Because of the Holy Emperor's great power, the breached city walls were wide open, allowing heavy cavalry to advance unimpeded.

As the heavy cavalry began their charge, the Holy Emperor laughed loudly and leaped into the air.

The moment he jumped off the city wall, he hurled the halberd in his hand.

A terrifying force tore at the surrounding air, emitting a piercing shriek and roar.

"boom!"

The roaring shockwave shook away the swirling snow!

Wherever the halberd passed, a white wave was sliced ​​open.

The earth was cleaved open!

Dust swirled, creating a huge chasm.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

The sturdy armor was instantly sliced ​​open by the halberd, and both man and horse were shattered and split in two.

The halberd pierced through more than twenty cavalrymen in succession, until it sent the last one flying backwards, crashing heavily to the ground and pinning him to the ground.

The ground cracked as a result!

The moment the Holy Emperor leaped off the city wall, he sent one man flying with a single punch, then seized his warhorse and galloped away.

The formidable heavy cavalry, feared by all, crumbled like paper under the Holy Emperor's iron fist.

In the blink of an eye, all the heavily armored cavalry that approached the Holy Emperor were blasted to pieces.

Minced meat and blood flew everywhere!

The Holy Emperor began to gallop wildly on his horse!

He was a single person, yet the aura he exuded was like that of a thousand troops, inspiring fear and trepidation.

The Holy Emperor drew his halberd and swept it across all directions!

The roaring hurricane sounded like rolling thunder!

"Bang! Bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

One by one, the rebel heads were easily smashed to pieces!

The armor was soaked in blood, as if it were covered in a blood-soaked garment.

Blood stained the earth covered by wind and snow.
