Chapter 128 Not a single corpse can be left intact!
The four generals led an army of 400,000 and besieged the capital city.
Those who remain in the capital will die, and those who flee the capital will also die.
They were faced with a certain death!
Inside the Forbidden City, Zhu Houzhao led the crowd to Chengtian Gate.
Wherever Zhu Houzhao went, respectful greetings could be heard everywhere.
"Your humble servant greets Your Majesty!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
'
'
Amidst the sounds of bowing and greetings, Zhu Houzhao led the trembling princes to Chengtian Gate.
Standing atop Chengtianmen, one can easily take in the entire view of the capital city.
Under the bright moonlight, torches shone brightly throughout the capital, illuminating the entire city as if it were daytime.
In the firelight, everyone could clearly see the corpses that filled the streets and alleys.
The firelight reflected the flowing blood, arousing the nerves of everyone present and intensifying their fear.
Seeing this, they finally understood that Zhu Houzhao had not only laid a trap in the palace, but also had a vast and inescapable scheme.
He didn't even spare the capital city outside the palace.
Even if they escaped the palace, they could not escape the ambush in the capital.
The princes took a deep breath, feeling only fear and regret.
Bold, meticulous, possessing unparalleled martial arts skills, and commanding numerous loyal subordinates—
Most importantly, Zhu Houzhao was ruthless enough and his methods were cruel enough.
Zhu Houzhao had the Southern Prince's faction, who participated in the rebellion, executed by slow slicing during their conversation, and stripped of their titles and fiefdoms.
Is an emperor with such cunning really just a boy who is not yet sixteen years old?
They even attempted to use the pressure of kinship and blood ties to force Zhu Houzhao to compromise with them.
Would a ruler like Zhu Houzhao be able to withstand such pressure from them?
A cold sweat broke out on everyone's backs. Only then did they realize how naive, ridiculous, and dangerous everything they had done had been.
Zhu Houzhao, however, seemed oblivious to what was happening before him, his expression remaining unchanged, with a faint smile on his face.
He looked up at the full moon in the sky and smiled gently: "The moon is so round tonight, it's truly a wonderful day for family reunion."
"It's just a pity that some people are unwilling to reunite with their families."
Zhu Houzhao's words provoked the fragile and sensitive nerves of the princes, who thought he was deliberately targeting them.
They were immediately terrified and knelt down before Zhu Houzhao, begging for mercy.
"Your Majesty, this old minister is confused! We long for family reunion; we yearn to be with our families so much."
"Your Majesty, what Prince Ning said at the banquet just now has nothing to do with us. I knew nothing about it, it has nothing to do with me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, it has nothing to do with us. It was all done by Prince Ning, Prince Shu, Prince Tang, and Prince Zhou on their own. Please investigate thoroughly, Your Majesty!"
"you----"
The Prince of Ning, the Prince of Shu, the Prince of Tang, and others glared at the surrounding vassal kings, their hearts filled with both anger and fear.
They were furious that these princes had betrayed them so easily.
They were also afraid that Zhu Houzhao's anger had not subsided and that he would vent his rage on them.
They quickly explained, "Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation, it's not what you think, your humble servant—"
The princes, filled with trepidation, kowtowed to Zhu Houzhao, their chaotic chatter irritating him.
"Alright, my royal uncles, what's wrong with you all?"
"Get up quickly. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I only wish to enjoy the moon with my uncles. There's no need for you to be so formal."
"Let's not worry about these formalities tonight, everyone just relax."
"7
When the princes heard that Zhu Houzhao had no intention of punishing them, their hearts, which had been in their throats, finally relaxed.
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty."
It turned out to be a false alarm. The princes breathed a sigh of relief and then stood up shakily.
They watched as the massacres continued in the capital, with lives being lost every minute and every second to the swords of the imperial guards.
I was still filled with unease and felt waves of panic.
"The night is long, and just admiring the moon would be too boring."
Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly and instructed Cao Zhengchun behind him, "Cao Zhengchun, go and light some cigarettes."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After receiving the order, Cao Zhengchun immediately flew down from Chengtian Gate and ordered the agents of the Eastern Depot to bring out the fireworks that had been prepared in advance.
The fuse was lit, and moments later, the fireworks exploded in the air, bursting into brilliant light that illuminated all directions.
"Bang!"
The princes looked up at the beautiful fireworks in the sky, but felt a sense of disorientation.
The brutal massacre coupled with the beautiful fireworks evoked a strange, inexplicable feeling in them.
Meanwhile, in the capital, those martial arts practitioners who were still fighting desperately, fleeing east and west, and barely surviving were startled by the huge explosion.
They looked up at the beautiful fireworks in the sky, but their hearts skipped a beat, filled with a tremendous sense of crisis.
Outside the capital city.
The four generals guarding the four gates raised their heads and looked up at the sky above the capital.
"Daddy, there are fireworks!"
Ling Xiaodao pointed to the sky and said with delight.
"I saw it."
Ling Luoshi responded calmly, then raised his spear: "All troops, listen to my command!"
"Let's go into town!"
Immediately after Ling Luoshi gave the order, the previously closed gates of the capital city were opened wide!
The soldiers guarding the city gates of the capital naturally saw the fireworks in the sky.
They opened the gates immediately, allowing the soldiers outside the city to enter without hindrance.
"Charge!"
"Kill them!"
At Ling Luoshi's command, his soldiers immediately grabbed their spears and charged forward!
Tens of thousands of soldiers, spears in hand, charged forward, ready to tear any enemy standing in their way to shreds!
The shouts and footsteps of tens of thousands of soldiers resounded throughout the city, shaking the ears of everyone inside.
This terrified the martial arts practitioners in the city.
There are soldiers outside the capital?!
How many soldiers are still outside the capital?!
Under the command of Emperor Tang Dazong and Xiao Jianseng, Ling Luoshi's 100,000-strong army surged into the capital like an iron torrent.
Then, Ling Luoshi also waved the reins and rushed into the capital.
Song Qingshu, who was barely surviving on the city wall, was overjoyed to see all the soldiers outside the city rushing into the city.
He continued to conceal himself, preparing to escape once all the soldiers outside the city had entered the capital.
But the next moment, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and a huge sense of crisis enveloped him.
"Who is it?!"
Song Qingshu exclaimed in surprise and immediately turned to dodge, while also looking up to see who had attacked him.
But all he saw was a giant hand.
"Bang!"
A hand slammed onto Song Qingshu's head, instantly freezing the fleeing man in place. "General's Order!"
Ling Luoshi let out a cold snort, and a surge of powerful internal energy erupted, directly hitting Song Qingshu's crown chakra.
"boom!"
The next moment, Song Qingshu's body exploded and shattered into pieces.
After dealing with the rat hiding on the city wall, Ling Luoshi leaped back onto his horse below the city wall.
"drive!"
Ling Luoshi acted as if nothing had happened and continued riding forward.
Meanwhile, he also made sure that Ling Xiaodao, who was on edge and filled with fear, caught up as quickly as possible.
After the massive army stormed into the city, a bloody massacre ensued.
All martial arts practitioners who stand in their way will be trampled into a pile of minced meat under the charge of tens of thousands of troops!
The same scene also occurred in three other locations in the capital.
"All soldiers, listen to my command!"
Wang Shouren, stationed at the west gate, drew his sword and swung it down, shouting, "Enter the city! Kill the enemy!"
"yes!"
"kill!"
At Wang Shouren's command, the 100,000-strong army, carrying spears, charged into the capital city!
Upon seeing the fireworks, Qi Jingtong, who was guarding the north gate, immediately gave the order!
"Where are my soldiers?!"
"exist!"
"Into the city! Charge!"
"Kill them!"
Qi Jingtong commanded 100,000 troops, who fearlessly charged into the capital and attacked all the martial arts practitioners who stood in their way!
Shen Ying, who was stationed at the East Gate, like the other three generals, immediately issued orders to his 100,000-strong army after seeing the fireworks overhead.
"All troops, listen to my command!"
"Enter the city and kill the enemy!"
"Yes, General!"
The 100,000-strong army outside the East Gate stormed into the capital city without any obstruction.
Their spears gleamed coldly as they charged towards the remaining martial arts figures in the capital.
Four city gates, four directions, and 400,000 troops charged forward simultaneously, their roar shaking the heavens and earth, echoing throughout the world.
The sound of their footsteps and horses' hooves shook the ground of the capital!
This army of 400,000 men, with cavalry leading the charge and infantry following closely behind, slaughtered the remaining enemy forces!
The imperial guards in the capital, upon seeing the fireworks in the sky, were already prepared. Some leaped onto rooftops, while others simply returned to their offices to avoid the charge of the 400,000-strong army.
The soldiers who were not skilled in martial arts hid in the alleys to avoid the indiscriminate attack.
Those who were unaware of the situation naturally became the innocent victims of the charging horses.
"Ah! No!"
"I surrender! I surrender! Please don't kill me!"
"I beg you, please don't kill me, I'll do anything you ask!"
"————"
Amidst cries of agony, the steel torrent of 400,000 troops advanced resolutely and swiftly to the very end.
Any martial arts master still alive in the capital who stands in their way will be crushed into mincemeat and suffer no other fate.
Lu Zhangke and Hebi Weng, who were engaged in a fierce battle with Ma Jinliang and Tan Luzi, suddenly lost sight of the two men.
Then they saw thousands of troops charging towards them.
"No!"
They only had time to let out a mournful cry before they were crushed into a bloody pulp.
"don't want!"
On the other side, He Taichong and Ban Shuxian, who were fighting with Pi Xiaotian and Iron Claw Flying Eagle, screamed and were submerged in the steel torrent, turning into mincemeat.
Not even a complete corpse can be left behind!
