The battle below the high slope had entered its second half, but the heart-wrenching carnage deeply shocked Tang Ke.

However, he was surprised to find that the emperor, riding on his warhorse, showed no fear or even tension on his face.

Not only that, the emperor also had a faint smile on his face, as if he were a scholar admiring a rare and beautiful landscape.

At first glance, the defeated Jin soldiers, like a receding tide, were fleeing into the distance, stretching to the horizon.

The Song cavalry were like sharp swords, tirelessly charging through the Jin army, which had lost its formation and fighting power.

Countless people lost their lives, crying out for mercy, but to no avail; they were met with halberds and axes.

The setting sun had gradually sunk below the horizon, the spotless sky turned blue, and a solitary moon hung in the sky, like the cold eyes of a god of the underworld, gazing emotionlessly at the blood-stained earth.

Wang Kui'an brought over a cup of warm wine, which Zhao Huan casually took and drank in one gulp.

Looking down at the battle situation below, he was very satisfied.

The sound of gunfire on the plains seemed to be a testament to the emperor's ambition.

On one hand, everything was under his control, and he was waiting for the restoration of the northeastern territory and its resounding fame in history books; on the other hand, he was fleeing in a sorry state.

Wanyan Chamu led her personal guards in a desperate charge. They were exhausted to the extreme, but they despaired to find that there was no end to this charge. They did not know how many Song soldiers were ahead of them, and their fighting strength had reached its limit.

Wanyan Chamu was now only thinking about kneeling before Zhao Huan and surrendering as soon as possible, but she didn't even have the chance to surrender.

He could only curse in grief and anger: "Liu Yu, I will tear you to pieces!"

"Your Majesty, our army can break out on the eastern front!"

Wanyan Chamu was overjoyed, as if he had grasped the last straw, and he led his men to break through the encirclement quickly to the east.

However, soon more Song army formations advanced from the east, completely blocking the road.

"What happened?"

"Your Majesty, the eastern front is blocked. We must retreat from the northern front immediately!"

Wanyan Chamu quickly changed direction and headed north.

He stared nervously ahead—nobody there! Yes! Finally, no more Song soldiers!

As he saw a red trail appear ahead and the Song army's iron cavalry roaring towards him, the smile that had just bloomed on his face froze, and he looked even uglier than if he were crying.

"Eastern Front! Head east now!"

Just as they were heading east, they saw the Song army surging in like a tsunami.

Wanyan Chamu completely broke down. After fighting her way through several gaps, she thought she could escape, but she was still surrounded by the Song army.

This is nothing short of a feint, a trap to lure you into a trap!

If Heaven gave him another chance, he would immediately cut off Liu Yu's head, then rush to deliver it to Zhao Huan in person, kneeling on the ground and begging Zhao Huan to accept his surrender.

What was wrong with him back then, thinking he could capture the Song emperor alive?

While they were lost in thought, the Song army had already closed in, and a one-sided, crushing massacre ensued.

Li Chongguang's sharp long knife sliced ​​across Wanyan Chamu's neck.

Wanyan Chamu's vision quickly moved upwards, and he saw blood spurting from the neck of the headless body below. Then his vision quickly sank downwards, and everything went dark before his eyes. He lost consciousness.

The headless corpse on horseback also rolled over and fell to the ground, with large amounts of hot blood still gushing from its neck.

When Wanyan Chamu's personal guards saw that their commander had been killed, they lost all will to fight.

They jumped off their horses, covered their heads, and surrendered.

If it were any other commander, they might have accepted their surrender, but Li Chongguang would not.

He gave a cruel smile, his pale face smeared with blood, making him look somewhat ferocious.

"Kill! Don't let a single one escape!"

Li Chongguang once wrote a controversial statement in a thesis at the Imperial Military Academy: "Only dead barbarians are good barbarians."

Unlike Yue Fei's large-scale defeats, Li Chongguang preferred Han Shizhong's ruthless massacres.

He had almost memorized all of Han Shizhong's large-scale massacres and wars over the past decade.

"The best way to deal with the enemy is to kill them all!"

Li Chongguang charged forward, and with a swift stroke, sliced ​​open the enemy's head, the brains splattering out and flowing between the sharp blade.

Another troop of Song cavalry had advanced, blocking the last remaining route for the Jin army.

The Song soldiers, wearing bronze demon masks, each carried a long, slender saber. Once they charged in, they swung their sabers with great force.

The heavy blade can be swung out and cut a person in half at the waist in an instant.

Zhao Huan withdrew his gaze, his face calm as still water. He had already drunk three cups of wine, and the night wind made his cloak flutter.

A messenger rushed in from the front: "Your Majesty, a great victory!"

Tang Ke, who was listening from the side, was extremely excited and interjected, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Great Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Huan remained calm; the victory was expected and brought little surprise.

He simply nodded and said, "Where is Wanyan Chamu's head?"

"Your Majesty, Li Jun will present it shortly!"

As they spoke, the army formation in front parted to make way for a troop of riders who charged forward at high speed. At the very front was Li Chongguang. They stopped in front of Han Shizhong's Imperial Guards, dismounted, and unfastened their swords.

The Imperial Guards then made way for them.

Li Chongguang walked excitedly all the way to the emperor, knelt on one knee, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the head of the enemy chieftain!"
