In the Great Qin Dynasty, I, the Unruly Commander, begin by dual-cultivating with Yan Ling Ji.

On the city wall, Chen Kang, wielding a bronze longsword, led the charge, cutting down one invading Zhao soldier after another. But the Zhao soldiers surged onto the city wall like locusts, their blood staining the originally bluish-brown wall red. Dark clouds filled the sky, obscuring all light.

An hour later, Chen Kang, his armor covered in blood, delivered the final blow to a Zhao soldier with his dulled bronze sword. The Zhao soldier's body, along with the bronze sword, fell off the battlements.

Having lost his weapon, he picked up a spear from the ground and looked around. More and more Zhao soldiers appeared on the city wall, while the number of Wei soldiers stationed on the city wall was decreasing. At this moment, Chen Kang had already decided to die.

Suddenly, with a soft thud, a somewhat weathered longsword pierced through his chest from behind, and a very familiar voice rang in his ears:

"I'm sorry, General, we really can't hold on any longer. All the brothers are dead. I don't want to die..." the lieutenant said, his voice trembling.

"you……"

Chen Kang's face was filled with grief and indignation. He wanted to say something, but found that he could no longer speak.

The lieutenant drew his longsword and beheaded Chen Kang with a single stroke. Holding Chen Kang's head, he shouted to the surrounding Wei soldiers who were still stubbornly resisting:

"Our commander Chen Kang is dead. Those who wish to live, surrender with me!"

The remaining soldiers looked at the head held in their hands, their faces filled with sorrow. They threw their weapons on the ground, covered their heads, and squatted down.

A moment later, Zhao An, the commander of the Zhao army, dressed in silver armor and a red robe, holding a riding whip, ascended the city wall surrounded by his personal guards.

The lieutenant immediately presented Chen Kang's head with both hands, saying obsequiously, "General, it is only the enemy commander's head that has been beheaded."

"Yeah, well done."

Zhao An frowned and said with some disdain when he saw the deputy general and hundreds of Wei soldiers squatting with their heads in their hands at the corner of the city wall:

"Why are there still some surrendered soldiers? Get rid of them all!"

"Yes, General."

Immediately following were screams and curses, but after a moment, the city wall returned to silence.

Looking at the weary soldiers around him, Zhao An smiled faintly and said loudly:

"Now that the city has been breached, until the hour of You (5-7 PM) tomorrow, this city belongs to you. Go and indulge yourselves to the fullest!"

The soldiers of Zhao's army all showed excited expressions, and their eyes gleamed with greed as they looked at the houses in Linzhao City.

Since ancient times, it has been a major taboo for military strategists to allow their soldiers to indulge in debauchery after conquering a city. However, Zhao An did not care at all at this moment. After all, their goal was not to conquer the city. Therefore, they could act like those barbarians from the grasslands, killing and burning at will after entering the city and committing all kinds of evil deeds!

Just as this city was about to become a living hell, a thunderous roar suddenly came from the distant earth.

Like a sandstorm sweeping in, with sand and stones flying everywhere, tens of thousands of cavalrymen, their entire bodies covered in jet-black armor, surged towards Linzhao City like an undercurrent.

On the lead white horse, Li Cunxu, wearing a demon mask, looked at the ravaged Linzhao City not far away and shouted loudly:

"In this battle, we must annihilate those Zhao soldiers who are worse than pigs and dogs! Kill!!"

At this moment, the Zhao soldiers on the city wall had no idea that an army would suddenly attack them, and they were all completely drunk. Only a few soldiers who were not drunk felt the movement under their feet and looked curiously into the distance.

"It must be a ground dragon."

"No, no... Enemy forces are attacking!!!"

The soldier turned pale with fright at the imposing cavalry. He looked at his drunken comrades lying on the ground and hurriedly shook them awake one by one.

Even when the soldiers regained their senses, their legs were so weak that they could do nothing but fear and trembling.

The once imposing city gates of Linzhao City were damaged in the previous siege and could not be closed.

Those few soldiers who remained clear-headed, seeing the unstoppable iron hooves, ultimately all chose to abandon their posts and flee.

As for those soldiers who collapsed drunk at the city gate, they naturally became dead souls trampled under the iron hooves.

Upon entering the city, the 50,000 iron cavalry, under Li Cunxu's command, split into small teams and surged into the well-connected streets, stabbing anyone wearing armor with their spears.

Many civilians who were being plundered by Zhao's soldiers were able to escape danger.

Some of the bolder civilians even peeked out to investigate the situation, watching the Great Qin Black Dragon Banner speeding through the street.

The civilians, who had expected to be invaded by the Qin army again, were surprised to find that the heavily armored cavalrymen with iron masks did not harm them at all; their eyes were only on the Zhao soldiers who were fleeing in disarray.

As the Zhao soldiers, who had just bullied and humiliated them, were pierced through by those iron spears, the people of Linzhao couldn't help but clap and cheer.

In about half an hour, the Zhao soldiers had been completely slaughtered by the Qin cavalry.

Even if some escaped the net and hid in people's homes, they would be beaten to death by the angry crowd.

The Zhao army generals, dressed in brocade robes, were tied to a high platform in front of the government office.

Standing on the high platform, Li Cunxu removed the demon mask from his face, revealing his handsome features.

Li Cunxu looked around and saw that the area below was filled with people from Linzhao who had come to watch.

Li Cunxu mobilized his inner energy, making his voice loud enough to reach the ears of every citizen in Linzhao:

"People of Linzhao, I am the Military Commissioner of Wei appointed by the Qin General of the Bad Army. Hearing that the Zhao army is harassing you, I have led 50,000 Qin cavalry to come and help you."

"You are unaware that the King of Wei is now incompetent and the state of Wei is corrupt. I, the Great Qin's Commander-in-Chief, will personally lead the army to wipe out the parasites who exploit you in Wei. From this day forward, you will be subjects of Great Qin, protected by the iron cavalry of Great Qin."

The people below were talking amongst themselves. Although some people found it hard to accept that the State of Wei had fallen, most people remained silent. When they were harassed and plundered by the Zhao army, not a single Wei soldier came to their aid. In the end, it was the Qin cavalry, whom they had once regarded as tigers and wolves, that helped them wipe out the Zhao army.

At this moment, an elderly man with white hair, who was quite old, stepped forward and said:

"General, do not worry. We common people only wish to live a peaceful life. Now that you have led the Qin soldiers to rescue us from our dire situation, we are willing to become citizens of Qin."

The people behind them echoed in unison:

"We are willing to be citizens of the Great Qin..."

A meaningful smile appeared on Li Cunxu's face. Now that the people of Linzhao had won his heart, if he were to supplement this with policies such as tax reductions and exemptions, it wouldn't be long before the hearts of the people of Wei would all turn to Qin!
