Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

"Take advantage of this opportunity! Fight back with all your strength!"

Lei Chong took the lead and led the elite infantry to attack the scattered enemies. Brave men began to throw rocks and boiling oil in the residential buildings on both sides of the street.

As the night gets darker, the war in Huoding City becomes more intense. Lei Chong stood on the city wall, his eyes as bright as a torch and his face as cold as bluestone.

"Prepare the ladder!" Wusu Danyu's voice echoed in the Huns camp, roaring like thunder.

The huge ladder intertwined with iron chains and wooden boards slowly moved forward, and every step seemed to shake the core of the earth. The Huns soldiers were like tireless beasts, taking up their weapons and preparing to climb the city wall.

"The Musketeers are ready!" Lei Chong ordered loudly. The neatly arranged musketeers behind him had already lit their matches and were calmly waiting for the order to fire.

"Let go!" Following Lei Chong's command, the sound of intensive musketry echoed through the night sky. The rain of bullets swept out like a furious wave, driving back the first wave of Hun soldiers who tried to approach the city wall.

However, the Huns were not deterred. They shouted the war song, "For Chanyu! For glory!" The voices were full of courage and determination to challenge death.

The pikemen also followed closely, setting up heavy defense lines on the edge of the city wall. "Assassinate the enemy!" The spears were thrust out like a forest, blocking the few enemies who climbed to the top of the city.

Wusu Dayu's face turned livid when he saw that his elite troops suffered heavy losses. "We will not retreat until we take this city! All vanguards must die to apologize!"

Driven by the death order, the Huns soldiers seemed to be endowed with infinite power, and once again organized their forces to launch a more ferocious offensive. They had no fear, and their determination to die was clear.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the city - it turned out that Lei Chong had planted firecrackers and black powder in advance.

"Detonate now!" Lei Chong shouted sharply. Suddenly, the exploding fireworks and thick smoke engulfed the climbing Hun soldiers again.

"Use this opportunity! Counterattack all!" Lei Chong took the lead with his sword, leading the elite infantry to attack the scattered enemies. Brave men also began to throw rocks and boiling oil on both sides of the city wall.

Fierce battles were raging in the streets and on rooftops. Dakang's new double-barreled shotgun showed terrifying lethality, quickly clearing out intruders as if they were harvesting lives.

Seeing the reversal of the situation, Wusu Dayu roared angrily: "Withdraw!"

The night was like ink, and Huoding City's cheers penetrated the darkness and echoed in every corner. Lei Chong stood on the high city wall, looking at the evacuated crowd. His face looked firm and heavy in the firelight.

"General!" A deputy general hurriedly came to Lei Chong, "Now is the best time to retreat. If we stay, I'm afraid..."

"General, I know." Lei Chong interrupted him, "But this city is my responsibility, I can't leave! Lead the people to Baicang City to ask for help, and tell the northwest frontier army that we need support."

The deputy general looked at Lei Chong with complicated eyes: "Your Majesty will not blame you for this. Preserving your strength is the best policy."

"No!" Lei Chong's voice was firm, "I want to live and die with Huoding City. Go quickly! Make sure everyone reaches Baicang City safely."

The deputy general bowed deeply, turned around and took the lead in guiding the old, weak, women and children to move out. Under the night, the wheels rolled and the luggage shook on the ground. The old people and children supported each other and moved forward slowly under the weak starlight.

However, during this tense and orderly evacuation, suddenly the earth-shattering sound of horse hooves erupted from the woods on both sides - armored armor streaked across the night sky like lightning!

"Hun cavalry!" a young mother screamed.

The cavalry surged like a flood from the dark night. Armed with spears and knives, they slaughtered innocent people wantonly.

"Run! Help!" Panic and screams spread.

At this moment, Lei Chong, who was watching the aftermath of the battlefield in the distance, heard chaos and crying coming from the front. "Damn!" He gritted his teeth and waved his arms, "Trumper! Sound the rally call!"

Then a rapid and heavy horn sound penetrated the silent night sky.

"All soldiers, listen to the order!" Lei Chong strode towards the remaining troops, "We cannot let the enemy massacre our parents, relatives, neighbors, relatives and friends! Anyone who has the guts, come with me to rescue the people!"

The soldiers drew their swords and promised: "I am willing to die for the general!"

Then, under the moonlight, groups of elite soldiers re-armed themselves at an astonishing speed, holding high torches and weapons, and rushed forward bravely towards the bloody land.

The desolate moonlight illuminates this scene of troubled times. Behind you is a home that has been burned more than half and is still burning stubbornly. In front of you is an escape route where life and death are uncertain and full of dangers.

"Protect every common people!" Lei Chong pointed forward with his sword, and then took the lead and plunged into the sudden and cruel battle like the center of the storm.

Above the wasteland, snowflakes fell as softly as feathers, but they failed to cover up the blood and tragedy of the battlefield. Lei Chong stood on the front line, surrounded by his three thousand veterans, each with a solemn expression and an unyielding light shining in their eyes.

"General!" a veteran called hoarsely, "What should we do?"

Lei Chong turned his head, his eyes cutting across every expectant face like a knife. "We will fight to the last man! We cannot let His Majesty and the people of Dakang underestimate our Huoding City defenders!"

The soldiers raised their weapons one after another, and their passionate shouts cut through the cold wind, "I will go through fire and water for the general, no matter what!"

However, at this moment, the Hun cavalry came like a black torrent. They were armed with sharp knives and left deep blood stains on the snow.

In the wasteland, people screamed one after another.

"Protect the people!" Lei Chong waved his sword and pointed at the enemy formation, "Let these Hun dogs know that Da Kang will win!"

The battle became more intense. The Huns were numerous and came in waves like waves. Lei Chong and his soldiers fought bravely against the enemy, but gradually felt powerless.

"General..." A young soldier crawled to Lei Chong's side covered in blood, "We can't hold on anymore."

Lei Chong held the hilt of the sword tightly with a firm look in his eyes: "Even if you die, you have to pull a few backers!"

At this moment, Wusu Dashanyu rode his horse slowly forward to the front line, looking down at the defeated Dakang soldiers from a high position. He laughed hoarsely and said: "Look, this is just the beginning, Dakang is destined to perish! All of you will become slaves of our Huns!"

Hearing this, Lei Chong was extremely angry and stared at Wusu like fire in his eyes. "What a joke! Who are the Huns? As long as your Majesty turns his head, he will deal with you! Tonight, as long as I still have breath, I will never let you succeed!" After that, he led the remaining dozens of soldiers to launch an attack The final counterattack.

Arrow rain, sharp blades, and flesh and blood intertwined into a cruel scene. Lei Chong swung his sword to directly attack Wusu Shanyu and successfully caused him serious injuries. However, surrounded by powerful enemies, Lei Chong was also killed by several blades piercing his body at the same time.
