The emperor faked his death? Never mind, I will ascend the throne directly!

The rebels under the city wall began to riot, and the siege equipment was slowly pushed to the front of the city gate.

"Li Chengfeng! You're just a brat! How dare you steal our Qian Dynasty's kingdom! Open the city gates immediately and kneel down in surrender!"

Cheng Qitian shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice full of energy, as if he were truly a loyal and righteous man rising up against a tyrant.

Li Chengfeng looked down at Cheng Qitian condescendingly, his eyes full of disdain.

"Cheng Qitian, you are the thief who stole the country! I am the legitimate heir of the Qian Dynasty! You are just an old man who relies on his age to bully others, and you dare to claim the destiny?"

Cheng Qitian was furious when he heard this, "How arrogant you are, little brat! Today, I will let you know who is the true ruler of the Qian Dynasty!"

After that, he waved his hand and said, "Attack the city!"

Suddenly, war drums thundered and shouts of killing shook the sky.

The rebels rushed towards the city gate like a tide, and all kinds of siege equipment such as ladders, battering rams, and catapults were used. For a time, the city walls were filled with smoke and blood and flesh were flying everywhere.

The soldiers defending the city fought hard under the command of He Sheng, but the number of rebels was too large and they gradually became unable to resist.

At this moment, a burst of shouting and killing suddenly came from outside the city.

Li Chengfeng's heart moved, the five major camps are coming!

Suddenly, an army came from the rear of the rebels, led by Xiong Kuohai, Qin Feng, Jiang Long, and Wei Wuji, with Shangguan Yun following closely behind.

Cheng Qitian was even more surprised. He quickly reined in his horse and looked at the soldiers behind him.

"Report! Your Majesty! An army has appeared in the rear!"

A spy came running over to report in a panic.

Cheng Qitian's face lit up with joy, but he still asked for confirmation: "Do you know who is in charge?"

"Your Highness! The leader looks like... like the commander of the five major camps!"

Cheng Qitian was overjoyed when he heard this, "Five major camps? Hahaha! God help me!"

"They are finally here!"

He quickly ordered to stop the siege, and then led a group of people out of the camp to greet them personally.

Xiong Kuohai and others soon came to Cheng Qitian.

They dismounted and knelt on one knee, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Cheng Qitian quickly stepped forward to help them up, and said excitedly: "Generals, you have arrived at the perfect time!"

"As long as you generals help me capture the capital, I will report to the new emperor and promote you generals to higher positions!"

Xiong Kuohai and others looked at each other, with a hint of imperceptible sarcasm flashing in their eyes.

They responded respectfully, "Thank you, Your Highness! We will do our utmost to help you achieve your great cause as soon as possible!"

Cheng Qitian felt even more proud when he saw that the commanders of the five camps were so aware of the current situation.

He thought the time was ripe and immediately ordered the entire army to attack the city again.

On the city wall, Li Chengfeng looked at the rebels rushing up from the city again and Cheng Qitian's smug face, and he couldn't wait to see the next good show.

Cheng Qitian, I'm just waiting to see you crying for your parents!

At this moment, Xiao Liuzi hurried to Li Chengfeng and whispered a few words in his ear.

After hearing this, Li Chengfeng's smile widened. "Okay! Pass the order down and proceed according to the plan!"

"According to the order!"

The fighting outside the city gate was more intense than Li Chengfeng had expected.

Cheng Qitian's rebels attacked the city gate like mad dogs.

However, the soldiers defending the city were like a solid wall of steel, and they remained unmoved no matter how the rebels attacked.

Cheng Qitian narrowed his eyes and found that these soldiers defending the city were all agile and capable of both offense and defense. They were completely different from the previous Qian Dynasty's national defense army.

These people are clearly the elite troops secretly trained by Li Chengfeng!

He cursed in his heart, this kid is really good at hiding things!

A rebel soldier finally climbed up the ladder, but before he could rejoice, he was chopped down by the soldiers defending the city. He fell down with a scream, and landed among the crowd below, causing a commotion.

The huge stones thrown by the catapult hit the city wall, and the broken stones flew everywhere, but failed to shake the wall at all.

On the city wall, the soldiers of the Hidden Dragon Guard cooperated with each other tacitly. Amidst the flashes of swords and the shadows of sabers, rebel soldiers kept falling down with screams.

Zhao Sheng and Tie Zhu were extremely brave, like two tigers coming down the mountain, charging into the enemy army, leaving blood and flesh flying wherever they went.

Tiezhu swung his huge hammer and smashed a rebel who was trying to climb the ladder into a meat pie. He then laughed heartily: "Little guy, you want to attack the city with your small body? Go home and drink milk!"

Zhao Shengze held a long sword in his hand, his figure erratic, and with the flashing sword light, he continued to reap the lives of the rebels.

While fighting, he never forgot to taunt Cheng Qitian: "Your Majesty, your method of attacking the city is too childish, isn't it? Why don't you let me teach you?"

Cheng Qitian's face turned pale. If this continued, he would lose many soldiers and generals before he could capture the city.

He looked back at the commanders of the five camps and had a plan in mind.

"Five battalions, listen to my orders! Follow me and attack the city! Capture Li Chengfeng and you will be rewarded handsomely!"

Hearing this, Xiong Kuohai and the others exchanged glances and shouted in unison: "Yes, sir!"

They led the elite troops from the five camps and launched an attack on Cheng Qitian's army...!

Cheng Qitian was stunned when he saw this.

He pointed at the commanders of the five camps, his fingers trembling, and he was speechless for a long time.

"You...you...what are you doing?! How dare you betray me!"

Xiong Kuohai, carrying his giant axe, laughed heartily, "Betrayal? Your Highness, where does that come from?"

"We are following the late emperor's will to assist the new ruler in quelling the rebellion. How can we be accused of betrayal?"

"Your Highness, we have the Tiger Tally in our hands. The order is: if any treacherous ministers rebel, you can use this Tiger Tally to mobilize the five camps and kill the traitors!"

Qin Feng watched Cheng Qitian's changing expressions with great interest, and spoke slowly.

Jiang Long added another blow: "Your Highness, you have rebelled and are attempting to usurp the throne. We, following the orders of the late emperor, must bring you to justice!"

"A man who knows the current situation is a hero. Cheng Qitian, it's better to surrender! Otherwise, you will suffer physical pain!"

Wei Wuji's words were much more blunt.

Shangguan Yun clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, I also advise you to repent and not be stubborn!"

Only then did Cheng Qitian realize that he had been tricked by Li Chengfeng and the five major camps!

He was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at them and cursed, "You are a bunch of wicked and heartless people! How dare you deceive me! I will never tolerate you!"

The soldiers of the five camps ignored Cheng Qitian's shouting and cursing. They rushed towards Cheng Qitian's army like a tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppable.

On the battlefield, shouts of killing shook the sky and the sounds of swords clashing were endless.

Cheng Qitian's army was already in low morale, and now it was attacked from behind by the five major camps. It was immediately thrown into chaos and had no power to resist.
