At this time, the rebel general was killed and the leader was captured. His heart and courage were broken, and his morale was extremely low. Even though they were still several times more powerful than the cavalry led by Sun Tu, they were still defeated when facing the surging enemies. They could not even have a decent defense, so they were knocked down by the scattered horse and were trampled under the iron hoof of the horse.

For a moment, screams came one after another, and more soldiers threw away all the weapons in their hands, and roared angrily as they rushed to the cavalry: "Discard the weapons and do not kill them!" And they obediently knelt on the ground, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads.

A few soldiers who tried to resist also rushed to Sun Tu. The spears trembled and thorned and fell into a pool of blood. On the road he rushed forward, let alone blocking them, he had not even found a single enemy, allowing him to pass through the defense line of thousands of heavily armored infantrymen as if he had entered a no-man's realm and killed Li Gang and others.

As Sun Tu pulled his horse violently, the horse's front hooves raised high, and after a long neigh, he fell heavily to the ground. The horse's hooves fell about the foot of Li Gang's head who had not yet risen. He was so scared that many soldiers guarding him were standing aside, but Li Gang didn't see any surprise at this time, just lay on the ground, looking up at Sun Tu who was looking down on his head, with a faint gaze as if there was any substance.

The two of them looked at each other for a moment, and then Sun Tu bent down and stretched out his hand, pulled Li Gang up from the ground, and then stared at him and said, "Why do you want to attack me? In the past two years, I have always respected you, respected you more as the prime minister of the dynasty, and my status and reputation are even more affordable..."

Staring at Sun Tu's eyes that were beating like fire as he spoke, Li Gang only said five words calmly: "The traitors are incompatible!"

This made Sun Tu's brow lock again. This sentence came from the Three Kingdoms. It was what those loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty said when they died in the face of Cao Cao's coercion. Now, Li Gang has actually used it on him, which is to compare Sun Tu to Cao Cao who has left his name for his infamous throughout the ages. He also labeled their rebellion as the country in disguise.

But soon, Sun Tu showed a disdainful smile on his face: "It's just because of such a ridiculous reason?"

"It's ridiculous? The way of the king and the minister has been clearly distinguished since ancient times. What do you do as a minister is not to be a usurpant and should be killed? Perhaps in your opinion, what we do is ridiculous, but in the eyes of the people of the world, in history, others will give us a fair evaluation. Even if we are defeated today, we have a clear conscience." Li Gang completely ignored the cavalry surrounding him and the bloody spear in Sun Tu's hand, and looked at Sun Tu without fear, telling his justice in an passionate tone.

"Bold! Arrogant!" The soldiers who had already surrounded him saw that he was still so angry at this moment, they changed their colors and roared. Some people even drew their swords and wanted to teach this hateful enemy a lesson.

But Sun Tu was stopped by a look. He seemed calmer than any subordinate, and even had a sneer of ridicule on his face: "What a traitor who is incompatible with each other, and a loyal minister. You think what you did is naturally correct, but in my opinion, it is not worth refuting at all. I just ask you, is it more important to be the people in the world, or is the foolish ruler in the palace, and the illusory name more important? "If you think the latter is heavier, it means that you, Li Gang, are just a fool who seeks fame. If on the contrary, in the past two years, under my rule, the Song Dynasty is now thriving, and the accumulated corruptions have been constantly being revised for a hundred years, the people are rich and the national strength is increasing. What you do today is to go against the will of heaven. Who is the traitor, who will be despised by the people of the world, and be ridiculed by historical books a hundred years later, it will be clear at a glance!"

After a few words, Li Gang's face, who was already firm, changed his face, and he couldn't even say anything to refute. Not only him, but also the other ministers, also had strange looks at the face, and they were obviously hit in the vital part of their hearts.

Seeing this, Sun Tu shouted loudly: "What you call serving the country and the king is just wishful thinking, or just starting from your own interests. What you want is the status of a civil servant at the beginning. As for the court and the world, it is not in your consideration. In fact, this is nothing, who is not selfish? But what you shouldn't deserve is to make trouble with your own interests, but you have to find a high-sounding reason for yourself. It's really ridiculous!"

As the words spread around, coupled with the speechless look of Li Gang and others, the psychology of the surrounding rebels was even more impacted, and even the last bit of courage to resist disappeared. For a moment, everyone put down their weapons and knelt down and surrendered. Thousands of elite heavy armored soldiers were all taken down.

Although the casualties of the cavalry team under Sun Tu's subordinates were not small, at least nearly a centaur could stand on the back of the horse. There was a shocking momentum in his eyes, suppressing the entire audience, making people dare not act rashly.

After a period of silence, accompanied by the sound of killing and rumbling sounds from outside, Li Gang, who was already dead, suddenly burst into laughter: "Sun Tu, do you think you really won? Do you think you set up a counter-essay by me and can turn the situation around and achieve the final victory? You underestimate me, Li Gang, and other officials loyal to the Song Dynasty court. Even though the battle here was indeed defeated, elsewhere in Tokyo had fallen into our hands at this time. At that time, as long as they join forces to enter the imperial city, you will still have a dead end!"

As he spoke, he laughed loudly, and he was a little crazy, and even tears flowed out. It seemed that only in this way could he suppress the fear and regret that he shouldn't have in his heart.

Sun Tu stared at him quietly until he finished speaking, and then sighed: "At this point, are you still unwilling to admit that you have completely failed this time? In addition to the ambush here in the imperial city, your uprising has also allowed Song Jiang to seize the military power of the imperial army outside the city, and sent tens of thousands of troops to seize the main yamen and warehouses of the inner city and the outer city. The sound of killing coming now is that your people are attacking the arsenal and the firearms. But have you ever thought about it? Since I had known all your actions early in the morning and made various back-up arrangements, how could I give you such a chance to seize control of Tokyo City and even disrupt Tokyo?"

These few words completely shattered Li Gang's last fantasy, and made his originally crazy smile disappear instantly, and his face was like gold paper, trembling, and he couldn't even say a word. Sun Tu continued: "Of course, you may still question my words as bluffing, but what I want to say is, don't you find out about your conspiracy? Since I have already found out about your conspiracy, why did you dare to enter the imperial city today with only a few hundred guards?

"This is not only because I have confidence in myself, I believe that even if I only use this little force, I can defeat you all, but also because I want to place more troops in all important places in Tokyo and take down all the rebels. So, the sound of killing or explosions we hear outside at this moment is all my subordinates launching a counterattack. It won't take long to go, and your conspiracy will be completely defeated!"

Until this time, Li Gang's whole person trembled violently as if he was electrocuted, staring at Sun Tu and shouted loudly: "Impossible! I made many arrangements this time, and with Song Jiang on the side to help, you will never know everything and make arrangements early in the morning. You are lying to deceive me, just to destroy our confidence. Even if we are defeated in the imperial city, we will only win in the end!"

Sun Tu stared at Li Gang with pity at the moment, who was obviously in madness and self-deception, knowing that he just couldn't accept such failure and was still struggling for the final struggle. He didn't argue with him anymore, but just smiled and said, "Soon, the result you want to know will appear. Do you know why there is a saying that "scholars can't rebel for three years?" It's because sometimes you think things too naturally, and the strength in your hands is far from enough to let you do all this."

As soon as the words were finished, a roar sound rang beside the wall of the imperial city. With this sudden explosion, the wall, which was originally quite luxurious but not too solid, changed. First, a trace of cracks appeared, and then the cracks continued to expand and extend, and the gravel and sand continued to fall. Finally, in a palpitations, a large section of the city wall collapsed and collapsed, causing another passage between the imperial city and the inner city to appear.

After seeing this scene, Li Gang's body finally softened and fell down. Even if he didn't want to believe Sun Tu's statement, he could only choose to accept it in the face of facts. If Song Jiang brought his troops to support him, he would never dare to destroy the outer wall of the imperial city so unscrupulously. Only Sun Tu's subordinates had such courage. That means that everything Sun Tu had just done was true. After controlling the situation, his troops finally came to support him.

Even though he knew that this failure was true, Li Gang still felt a huge blow, making it difficult for the old man to stand up and fall down completely.

When Sun Tu saw the city wall collapse, he showed a hint of joy in his eyes. It was not that he was happy about the arrival of reinforcements. Everything was in his own control, and there was no surprise. What really made Sun Tu feel happy was the power reflected in the gunpowder he used this time. He actually blew up the wall of the imperial city in just one moment. This shows that over the past two years, with Lin Lingsu's efforts, the power of his own gunpowder has made great progress. In this way, if he uses it on the battlefield, he can create greater lethality.
