The Imperial Guards, like Yama, slaughtered until the Empress cried out for help.

In the courtyard, Shen Qing had just finished introducing Huo Zheng and Cao Shen and was explaining the plan.

Cao Shen spoke up: "Therefore, the first round of attacks will be carried out by the Sky-Bombing Cannon."

There was a lot of discussion below. After all, the Sky-Bombing Cannon was a weapon used by the military, while the Embroidered Uniform Guard belonged to a completely different system and had no access to it. It was normal for some people not to know about it.

Cao Shen smiled and said, "I can't really describe what it is. Just think of it as a larger version of the Thunderclap Bomb."

"Although it won't kill those at the Innate Realm or Grandmaster Realm, I can guarantee it."

"The Sky-Shattering Cannon can only blast away those at the Innate and Grandmaster levels!"

Zhang Shan was stunned: "Huh? There are such good things? Why don't the Embroidered Uniform Guards have some?"

One of the centurions chuckled, "Did Zhang Shan's cannon hit you on the head? How could you say something like that?"

"Where do our Imperial Guards arrest people? In Luoshui City! In Gujing Town! How can you fire your cannons like that? You won't hit the criminals, but the civilians will all die."

The courtyard was immediately filled with laughter.

Shen Qing tapped the table lightly: "Alright, alright, stop fooling around."

"Then the plan is set: the first round will be 'sky-high cannons' to clear the way and kill a bunch of them."

"Then it's our turn. There are 1,300 Embroidered Uniform Guards, 1,600 Golden Guards, and 3,900 Mighty Army soldiers, nearly 7,000 men. You could drown them with just a spit from each of you."

"I don't want to see a single survivor left within half an hour."

"Even earthworms have to be cut vertically!"

"Do you understand?"

All the centurions immediately stood up: "Yes!"

Just then, a hand slowly rose from the crowd; it was Pan Ruhai.

"My lords, I have something to report."

He swallowed hard and continued, "Actually, I am one of Peng Guang's men."

The courtyard fell silent instantly. Pan Ruyuan was stunned and grabbed his arm, saying, "Brother! What are you talking about? Are you confused?"

Pan Ruhai didn't look up, shook off Pan Ruyuan's hand, and continued to preach.

"I've been Peng Guang's man for fifteen years! But I'm willing to atone for my crimes through meritorious service!"

"I know all of the Peng family's hidden sentries from Luoshui City to Honghe Mountain! I'm not confident we can launch a surprise attack on Honghe Mountain, but I'm confident the Peng family won't discover us until we reach Honghe Mountain!"

After he finished speaking, the courtyard fell silent. Pan Ruhai cautiously looked up and found that Shen Qing, Qin Chuan, and Lu Tong were looking at him with ambiguous smiles.

How could Qin Chuan not know that there was something fishy going on with his men? And even if he didn't know, Pan Ruhai's cunning schemes couldn't escape Shen Qing's innate sixth sense.

The reason I didn't kill him outright.

The reason is that although Pan Ruhai was Peng Guang's man, he never genuinely did anything for Peng Guang.

Qin Chuan laughed heartily: "Shen Qing, Lu Tong, look."

"I told you so."

"Hey, this kid's not stupid!"

Pan Ruhai was stunned: "You gentlemen already discovered me?"

Qin Chuan rolled his eyes: "Do you think I, Qin Chuan, am an idiot? I noticed you a long time ago."

"To be honest, if you haven't confessed by the time you leave this room, then there will be no Pan Ruhai in the Zhenfu Division."

Pan Ruhai was stunned; it turned out he already knew.

Shen Qing smiled and said, "Pan Ruhai, right? Congratulations on making a very correct decision."

Then Shen Qing looked at everyone.

"So you all understand now!"

"This time, we act on behalf of Heaven to punish the disloyal!"

"Pan Ruhai, listen to my command! I hereby appoint you as the vanguard of the army."

"Heading straight to Honghe Mountain!"

......

In the center of Yongning County lies the only large plain in the county.

There is only one mountain on this plain, and that is the Red River Mountain.

The Red River Mountain has a superior geographical location, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. Originally, there was a small village here, but after Peng Guang rose to power, he used his strength to make the mountain his base and demolished the village.

Over the years, Peng Guang has embezzled countless sums, transforming the Red River Mountain into an impregnable fortress.

There were thousands of private soldiers, as well as watchtowers, arrow towers, and fortifications.

In addition to Peng Guang's influence, the Peng family became increasingly lawless in Yongning County.

On the mountainside of Honghe, two guards were drinking in a watchtower.

"Try this wine, this is life!"

Another guard took the wine jug, took a sip, and frowned.

"That's it? You know Qiao Er from Qiao Family Village, right? I heard that his shop has really good wine."

"Wait a bit, I'll take you to rob some wine directly; that's the real deal!"

"Okay, you said it."

As he spoke, the guard found the wine in his hand tasteless, so he put it down on the ground and stood up to stretch.

"It's almost dawn, let's go then."

Suddenly, the guard noticed something: "Hmm? What's that?"

A dark mass could be seen rapidly approaching the plains below the Red River Mountain.

Another guard stood up, rubbing his eyes: "Is there a flood?"

But gradually, they felt the ground trembling slightly, and even heard a horse neigh.

The guard's face turned deathly pale in an instant, and he frantically pulled the alarm bell, which immediately resounded throughout the Red River Mountain.

"Someone's attacking the mountain! Someone's attacking the mountain!"

"Who dares to be so bold as to attack our Peng family's mountain?"

"They look like the Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

"Quickly go to the mountaintop and fetch the old patriarch!"

At the foot of Honghe Mountain, an army of seven thousand men rapidly advanced, completely surrounding Honghe Mountain.

Shen Qing coldly watched Honghe Mountain. At this moment, Honghe Mountain was also ready, with thousands of private soldiers already deployed in various places.

At that moment, a loud voice came from the mountaintop, but it carried a sense of decay.

Who is down the mountain?

This is Peng Guang, the former patriarch of the Peng family. It is said that he once reached the Grandmaster realm, but fell down due to old age and physical decline.

"Is it Qin Chuan? Or the newly appointed garrison commander?"

"Since you're a guest, why don't you come up to the mountain and have a seat?"

Qin Chuan sneered, "Peng Guang! Stop pretending. What you did..."

But before he could finish speaking, Shen Qing grabbed his arm.

"Qin Chuan! Why are you wasting your breath talking to him?"

Having said that, he turned around and shouted, "General Cao! Where the hell is that thunder cannon? Bring it up for me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers of the Mighty Army quickly assembled the Sky-Breaking Cannon by dragging several horse-drawn carts. This was the wisdom of the Heavenly Craft Workshop. They considered both the damage and portability, and made it into a detachable form.

In no time at all, the Thunder Cannon was assembled.

A low shout came from the mountaintop.

"So you're the new garrison commander? What an arrogant young man."

"You think a few cannons can break through my defenses at Honghe Mountain? Do you know how many fortifications I've built?"

Clearly, Peng Guang's concept of the Great Martial weapon is still stuck a hundred years in the past, and he has no idea how far the Great Martial's technology has developed in recent years.

Shen Qing sneered, "Old man! Times have changed!"

"fire!!!"

At a command, dozens of cannons unleashed their fire.

bang bang bang! ! !

In an instant, the sound of explosions rang in our ears, and huge craters were blasted into Honghe Mountain, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, and even the iron plates used as cover were sent flying into the sky.

[Your subordinate has killed a martial artist at the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm and successfully looted the attribute: Exceptional Vision (White)]

[Your subordinate has killed a martial artist at the fifth level of the Acquired Realm, successfully stealing the attribute: Proficient in Halberd Techniques (Green)]

...

Several notifications popped up in succession. Shen Qing spread his hands, looking quite pleased.

"bunker?"

"Your bunker is as ridiculous as you!"
