12dz Chapter 186 Siege
Chapter 186 Siege
The sounds of fighting were deafening!
Even from such a distance, it was still incredibly clear and audible.
Ye Qingyou seemed to be able to hear the sounds of killing and the cries of the victims, and her pretty face turned pale.
However, she kept her eyes glued to the battlefield...
In his nervousness, his hands even clenched involuntarily.
They were afraid of missing any scene on the battlefield.
She hoped that Xu's army would win, but because she was on high ground, she could see clearly that Xu's army's momentum had been suppressed by Wan Hai City's defenders from the very beginning.
Just as Su Luo said.
In their first clash, Xu's army was still able to hold its own against the defenders of Wanhai City...
However, as time went on, they gradually ran out of steam!
By the second day, Xu's army was already showing signs of defeat...
"Brother Luo, what should we do?!"
"Xu's army is about to lose, and those rebellious civilians will surely be executed by the imperial court!"
"Those people in the imperial court don't treat the common people like human beings at all. Once they get an opportunity..."
"The people will surely be plunged into utter despair!"
"Brother Luo, didn't you say you had a way to make Xu's army win?! Think of a way quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Su Luo merely glanced in the direction of the battlefield.
Then he muttered to himself, "That's about enough..."
He then turned and strode towards the battlefield.
Ye Qingyou was stunned and almost didn't follow.
"Brother Luo, where are you going..."
"I only asked you to come up with a solution, I didn't ask you to come and die!"
“Brother Luo, I know you are very skilled, but this is clearly not a problem that one person can solve alone…”
Before the words were finished, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from not far away.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of horses' hooves thundered!
Hundreds of people came into Ye Qingyou's view!
Seeing the superior quality of their equipment and the well-trained manner of the cavalry, Ye Qingyou couldn't help but be startled...
After all, in her understanding, the rebel army wouldn't exist to this extent.
These people, you can tell at a glance... are more like the imperial army.
"Brother Luo, let's go quickly! These people are very likely imperial troops..."
Ye Qingyou was about to remind Su Luo of something.
However, they discovered that Su Luo was actually walking towards the cavalrymen.
Ye Qingyou's eyelids twitched. "Brother Luo, don't be impulsive—"
She thought Su Luo was going to cause trouble by acting so arrogantly.
Unexpectedly, as Su Luo approached the cavalry, the front half of the cavalry...
Sure enough, they all mounted their warhorses and bowed in salute!
"Son!"
"Son..."
Respectful voices rose and fell in unison!
Especially the army leaders, who were extremely respectful to Su Luo...
This scene almost left Ye Qingyou completely stunned!
Her cherry-like mouth couldn't help but open wide, almost wide enough to fit a large...
Ye Qingyou was truly shocked.
What exactly is Su Luo's identity?!
Why is it that even so many cavalrymen show him such utmost respect...?
If he were from the imperial court, then Su Luo certainly wouldn't have participated in the rebellion.
However, Su Luo not only participated... but even Xue Hai, the garrison commander of Wan Hai City, died at Su Luo's hands.
But what if Su Luo wasn't on the side of the imperial court...?
Just then, Ye Qingyou saw the flag behind the cavalry, and her pupils contracted sharply.
"You...are the Yanhuang Army?!"
Immediately afterward, Ye Qingyou realized what was happening and looked at Su Luo in astonishment: "Brother Luo, you're not going to tell me... you're that mysterious, the leader of the Yanhuang Army, are you?!"
As the illegitimate daughter of the Ye family patriarch, Ye Qingyou was one of the few who hadn't suffered much abuse, so she naturally knew about the existence of the Yanhuang Army.
Furthermore, it reveals that the identity of the leader of the Yanhuang Army is shrouded in mystery.
It is said that even the imperial court was unable to ascertain his true identity, suspecting him to be either a barbarian or someone from overseas...
They deliberately wanted to stir up trouble within the Great Xia Dynasty!
Who would have thought that this mysterious leader of the Yanhuang Army... is actually her Brother Luo?!
Moreover, wasn't the Yanhuang Army a rebel army?!
Shouldn't they fight like Xu Jiajun, relying solely on momentum and a fearless spirit?!
But why does the Yanhuang Army in front of you give Ye Qingyou a feeling that is completely different from what she imagined?
This sense of oppression was even stronger than that of the imperial army!
Su Luo looked at the leader, who was none other than Zhang Daqiang, and asked with a smile, "Daqiang, you're quite the one who can hold back..."
"I suppose it's been about three days since Xu Risheng sent you the letter asking for help?!"
"And you and Han Yan should have arrived around here long ago... You were thinking of making it easier to control Xu Risheng, so you've been waiting..."
"We've been waiting for this moment, haven't we?!"
Zhang Daqiang stared at Su Luo in even greater shock, took a deep breath, and gave a bitter smile.
"Young master, we really can't hide anything from you..."
"Han Yan, tell the young master what arrangements we've made!"
Han Yan immediately came up, his eyes also full of admiration.
Just as Zhang Daqiang said, Su Luo was now seen as a prophetic being.
They did indeed arrive as soon as they received the request for help.
However, they have remained inactive for some time now...
Because they had followed Su Luo for a long time, they had developed their own understanding of human nature.
Just as Su Luo once said, things that are too easily obtained are not cherished.
If it were during the standoff between Xu Jiajun and Wan Haicheng.
Then the Yanhuang Army appeared and helped the Xu family army defeat the defenders of Wanhai City...
It's possible that, in the eyes of Xu Jiajun and his men, the credit for the victory has nothing to do with the Yanhuang Army!
That might actually create conflict!
The internal conflicts that Xu Risheng mentioned did not exist among the garrison of Wanhai City.
Instead, they appeared among the Yanhuang Army and the Xu Family Army...
Instead of arguing about it later, why not let the Xu family army fall into true despair before the Yanhuang Army comes to the rescue?
In this way, whatever Su Luo wants to do then, whether it's Xu Risheng or the others in the Xu family army...
They will be completely convinced!
Upon hearing this, Su Luo smiled and said, "Not bad!"
"It seems that you two... are indeed qualified to stand on your own!"
"Since you've been waiting here for so long, I should now lead you around..."
His gaze turned towards the battlefield. "End all of this!"
Immediately, someone from the cavalry led out a warhorse, and the riders were all clad in armor!
Moreover, the material is not ordinary.
It's tempered steel!
It should be noted that, although refined steel is no longer uncommon in the Yanhuang Army!
However, a typical private first class would at most only have a single piece of inner armor made of tempered steel...
And what about Su Luo?!
Not only are the armor pieces made of refined steel, but they are also lighter and have stronger defensive capabilities!
Moreover, even his warhorse armor... was still made of refined steel!
Su Luo did not refuse!
Because he is the leader of the Yanhuang Army, he should have these privileges!
Otherwise, others might have objections... Gradually, Su Luo might lose prestige!
After donning his armor, Su Luo mounted his horse and extended his hand towards Ye Qingyou:
"Hey, what are you standing there for?!"
"Didn't you say you were going to follow behind me?"
"Although I might not be able to let you come with me when we go to the battlefield... I can let you experience it for yourself now..."
After hearing this, Ye Qingyou seemed to wake up from a dream and finally realized what was going on.
After hesitating for a moment, she followed Su Luo onto the warhorse and, as before, wrapped her arms around Su Luo's waist.
A refreshing fragrance wafted into Su Luo's nostrils.
Like many beautiful women, Ye Qingyou, after taking a shower, had a natural fragrance.
Su Luo smiled and said, "What? Nervous?!"
Ye Qingyou did not deny it, and sighed softly: "I never expected that Brother Luo... you would be the leader of the Yanhuang Army!"
"Of course I'm nervous! In those folk tales, the leader of the rebels... might just become emperor someday!"
"So, I might be... right next to the emperor right now..."
Su Luo didn't mince words, and chuckled softly, "You even ride a horse with the emperor!"
Ye Qingyou's pretty face flushed, but she didn't say anything more.
But looking at Su Luo's handsome profile, she couldn't help but bite her lip.
"Brother Luo, what you said before... is it true?!"
Su Luo asked in confusion, "Huh?!"
Ye Qingyou said, "Is it true that you were able to lead the Xu family army to victory?!"
Upon hearing this, Su Luo finally realized what was happening and smiled.
"certainly……"
"Not only will we win this battle, but we will also win every battle that follows."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyou felt a surge of domineering power wash over her, and her heart trembled slightly.
Su Luo said, "Loosen up a bit, don't hug too tight..."
Only then did Ye Qingyou realize what was happening and quickly loosened her grip a little.
Those around couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.
Zhang Daqiang's eyes held a hint of ambiguity as he muttered, "Looks like the young master is going to have an eighth wife..."
Han Yan, standing nearby, glanced at Zhang Daqiang with a puzzled look and asked in a low voice, "Commander Zhang, I remember you're from the Si family... you used to be from the family of the young master's first wife..."
"You're just going to watch the young master like this... Aren't you going to help any of the ladies or do anything for them?!"
Zhang Daqiang said calmly, "I'm not very smart!"
"If I really wanted to do something for my young lady, it would most likely not only fail but also have the opposite effect..."
"So, rather than make a mistake, I'd rather do nothing!"
He paused, then continued, "Besides, you already have seven wives... so what's one more?"
"Tsk tsk, but young master is really something. Look at the way this young lady looks at him..."
Su Luo's hearing was incredibly sharp; he could easily hear their whispered conversation. He immediately turned around and glared at them.
Han Yan wanted to say something, but upon seeing this, he immediately fell silent.
……
On the battlefield.
The situation has become extremely tense.
Even Xu Jiajun felt a vague sense of panic.
Because they also began to realize that the situation seemed somewhat different from what they had initially imagined...
Or rather, it's a huge difference!
They did not win battles one after another as expected!
In fact, it's already showing signs of decline...
This is unacceptable to them!
After all, what a rebellion relies on is a breath of air... a breath of air that is determined to win!
Once defeated, this last bit of pride will be released!
So, in the end, it is very likely that... they will be completely defeated, utterly crushed!
"General Xu!"
"It seems... the Yanhuang Army really won't come to our aid..."
"We're really going to lose... If we lose, we'll probably all die here..."
The atmosphere inside the tent was incredibly dejected.
Everyone had their heads down, and except for Xu Risheng, their faces were full of dejection.
Clearly, they had lost the will to continue...
What's more terrifying than not seeing hope at all is having seen hope before.
Xu Risheng frowned and remained silent.
"General Xu, even now, we won't blame you..."
"It can only be said that... this is the will of Heaven, and rebellion... is inherently an act of defying the will of Heaven..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Risheng's expression turned even uglier, and he clenched his fists.
Fate?!
Is it fate that forces them to be exploited?!
So, because of fate, they don't even have the right to be human...?!
An indescribable feeling of suffocation filled Xu Risheng's heart!
Boom!
At that moment, a loud bang suddenly rang out outside!
Everyone in the room couldn't help but look up, even Xu Risheng...
Rumble!
At this moment, the thunderous sounds grew more and more frequent!
Everyone was stunned, and they all walked out of the tent...
All of Xu Jiajun's soldiers raised their heads and looked at the sky!
A deafening roar rang out once more!
Accompanied by... sparks!
"This is……"
Xu Risheng suddenly shouted, "This is... a thunderclap in broad daylight!"
"This is a thunderclap in broad daylight! The Yanhuang Army has arrived!"
"The ones who truly bear the Mandate of Heaven... are the Yanhuang Army. And now, they have arrived!"
"Destiny is on our side!"
Hearing this sound, everyone was still a little stunned, and then they saw hundreds of cavalrymen, leading thousands of infantry, charging from behind...
A man standing next to Xu Risheng was a survivor of the last operation. Upon seeing Su Luo, the leader, he exclaimed in surprise.
"This is the person who killed Xue Hai back then..."
"He carried Xue Hai's head and hung it on the city gate!"
"He is a member of the Yanhuang Army!"
"He really is a member of the Yanhuang Army!"
Rumble!
As he spoke, Su Luo led the Yanhuang Army over and looked toward the city gate of Wanhai City.
He didn't waste any words, nor did he say anything more; he simply said calmly, "Attack the city!"
