I don't know when, but the autumn rain started to fall.

A heart-wrenching wail echoed through the city: "You sons of bitches! You're all beasts! Don't you have children? Don't you have mothers?! I'm going to kill you all, you beasts!"

Squads of Huaiyang soldiers began kicking down doors from house to house. Some dragged out children and women, killed the children in front of their fathers, and raped their wives.

Some people were overwhelmed with grief and rushed forward recklessly, only to be hacked to death by the soldiers. Their deaths were extremely tragic.

Corpses were everywhere in the city. Ge Zhongyi brandished his knife and roared, "The lowly people deserve to die!"

He had barely uttered the cry when an arrow, piercing through the autumn rain, splashed up a shower of petals and jade-like spray, rushing towards him like a startled rainbow. It struck him squarely between the eyebrows, the arrowhead piercing his brow bone and penetrating his brain, killing Ge Zhongyi instantly.

Han Shizhong held a long spear in his left hand, the autumn rain washing over his black armor, making him look like a ghost in the night.

A thousand iron cavalrymen charged forward like a mighty torrent. The Huaiyang army was immediately alarmed. Before they could even form a formation, the first few men were pierced through by Han Shizhong's spear.

Han Shizhong swung his spear, and the corpses of those men flew out, crashing into the others and sending seven or eight people flying.

Han Shizhong roared, "Kill!"

Every member of the new army's iron cavalry wielded a horse-slaying saber, which was colder than the autumn rain and exuded a chilling murderous aura. With a single swing, it was certain to take a life!

"Ah! Run!"

As soon as one of the Huaiyang army commanders shouted, half of his body was cleaved in two and he fell into the rain. The others dared not resist any longer and were so frightened that they turned and fled for their lives.

The new army's iron cavalry, like a sharp longsword, tore a path through the long street. Huaiyang soldiers died one after another, but they stepped on the Huaiyang army's bodies and pressed forward. Wherever they passed, everything was reduced to dust!

In the main camp of the Huaiyang Army, a messenger rushed over: "Report! They've appeared...appeared! A cavalry unit! We can't stop them! We can't stop them!"

Cao Sheng jumped up and slashed the messenger with his sword, his face ashen: "A bunch of unruly people! Let's go! Follow me to slaughter this city of Tai'an, and use the blood of these unruly people to warn them!"

Cao Sheng's military order was immediately issued, and the main force of the Huaiyang army began to mobilize in full force, with 20,000 men. They divided into four routes and began to advance in different directions to massacre the city!

The rain intensified, and lightning illuminated the entire night, revealing the cold silhouettes of the new army's iron cavalry. The blood on their sabers was constantly washed away by the rain, and the horses seemed to sense their soaring rage, breathing heavily and becoming increasingly agile.

Wherever they went, nothing could withstand them, and they were invincible!

Countless soldiers of the Huaiyang Army poured out from the streets, charging forward with swords raised and roaring. Some of them couldn't even lift a sword, while others had just come from brothels. They were usually arrogant and fierce when bullying unarmed civilians, but now, upon seeing Han Shizhong's new army, they immediately lost their courage.

Han Shizhong raised his spear high, and the cavalry behind him shouted in unison, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Great Song Dynasty!"

Han Shizhong roared, "Leave no survivors! No surrender! Kill them all!"

These thousand men were imperial elites who survived the fierce battles against the Jin army during the Northern Expedition. They were born under the strict military regulations of the New Army. In front of them, these Huaiyang soldiers were like children.

I was already terrified when I saw it, and now I was so frightened by the momentum of the new army shouting in unison that I could barely walk!

From the air, the new army cavalry looked like a flying sword of a cultivator, rushing straight into the street with the momentum of a rainbow. Everything in its way was crushed and pulverized, leaving a blood river in its wake!

These thousand cavalrymen were like demons who had crawled out of hell. None of them had any expression on their faces, only a frozen coldness that chilled them to the bone, as cold as their swords.

They relentlessly reaped lives, blood spurting from their blades and mingling with the rain, creating a violently beautiful scene.

The Huaiyang army finally witnessed the imperial elite of the current emperor, and all their ignorance would pay the price today.

Han Shizhong has issued a massacre order and will not accept any surrender. He wants to use blood to tell everyone the consequences of betraying the emperor and the empire!

After slaughtering their way through one street, the new army's iron cavalry turned and charged towards another, their figures darting swiftly through the autumn rain, splashing up countless tiny droplets.

Upon seeing such an army, like rabbits seeing a pack of hungry wolves, the first thought of every Huaiyang soldier was to flee.

Han Shizhong kept his promise and killed them all without sparing a single one!

"Report...report..." The messenger was terrified and could barely speak, "Reporting to Commander Cao, a demon army is coming..."

No sooner had the messenger finished speaking than everyone heard desperate cries coming from the distant night, mixed with the clanging of iron hooves.

The sound of autumn rain falling on the bluestone slabs was exceptionally clear, but the sound of those iron hooves was even clearer, as soul-stirring as war drums!

Cao Sheng seemed to see a group of demons wielding long swords, ruthlessly reaping human lives. A thick aura of killing intent swept over them from that direction, chilling everyone in the Huaiyang army to the bone.

Who on earth possesses such a terrifying aura!

Has the Jin army stormed the city?

Soon, they saw blurry figures in the night rain, where countless long swords were bleeding, the light of the blades cutting through the increasingly chilly autumn rain, iron hooves crushing the flesh and blood on the ground, and lightning illuminating the cold armor and the distinct outlines of the figures.

Cao Sheng seemed to hear the fury coming from the heavens above—the fury of the emperor, for when the emperor is angry, millions will die!

"What do we do, Commander Cao!"

Cao Sheng had completely lost his courage. He was pale and could not even walk. Soon, the morale of Cao Sheng's central army began to collapse. They fled in all directions and had no intention of resisting.

With the support of his trusted confidants, Cao Sheng began to flee. They rode horses and fled at great speed, but they were no match for Han Shizhong's iron-blooded soldiers. In front of them, fleeing soldiers of Huaiyang were constantly trampled to pieces. Han Shizhong's sword had killed countless people. He seemed to never tire.

As he plowed through the land, countless people were hacked to death. Many begged for mercy, but Han Shizhong gave them no chance whatsoever, killing them all without exception.

"Cao Sheng! Where are you going!"

Hearing the thunderous roar behind him, Cao Sheng was terrified and panicked. He ran away while crying out, "General Han, spare my life!"

Han Shizhong charged forward on horseback, and the new army's iron cavalry, with swift and decisive strokes of their blades, effortlessly wiped out Cao Sheng's guards. Han Shizhong then swept his spear across the ground, sending Cao Sheng flying from his horse.

Han Shizhong dismounted, rushed over, lifted Cao Sheng off the ground, and punched him in the face. Cao Sheng rolled several times in the rain, and half of his facial bone was cracked.

"Cao Sheng! The only person I will spare today is you. I will hand you over to the Emperor for punishment!"

Upon hearing that he could still live, Cao Sheng was overjoyed and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, believing that he could survive.
