Chapter 146 Su Changsheng learns of the rebellion
The morale of the troops, already shattered by the overwhelming power of the Yanhuang Army, nearly collapsed upon hearing these words.
They thought that since they were doing all the dirty and hard work for Su Changsheng, no matter what, Su Changsheng, as the Marquis of Sinan, should take care of them. But they only found out today...
It turns out that in Su Changsheng's eyes, these so-called personal guards were nothing more than consumables!
The barbarians outside the border, even those recruited by Su Changsheng, were there to accumulate his military merits... and to earn military pay and salary!
Su Changsheng is a traitor who colludes with the enemy!
This was unacceptable to them!
Someone in the crowd shouted, "I surrender! Don't kill me, I'll join you in the rebellion!"
Swish!
In an instant, hundreds of people in the crowd knelt down in unison.
They've all surrendered!
Before the remaining soldiers could react, the crossbow bolts of the Yanhuang Army and the Yanhuang Army soldiers themselves rushed in front of them!
The crossbow bolts showed no mercy, but the charging Yanhuang soldiers were all privates, carrying specially forged steel shields to defend against the crossbow bolts. They raised them to fend off the rain of arrows while wielding their swords.
The sounds of sharp weapons piercing flesh filled the air as hundreds more people were harvested like leeks.
At that moment, the remaining troops of the Marquis of Sinan surrendered immediately!
In less than half an hour, the two thousand-strong personal guard of the Marquis of Sinan had been defeated!
Ye Hu approached Su Luo, his eyes shining: "Young Master, we won! This is a great victory!"
"We killed a total of 800 enemies, and 1,000 surrendered. We estimate that 200 escaped... Zhang Daqiang has already led his men to pursue them!"
Su Luo gave the order: "Great job, Uncle Tiger, this is a resounding victory!"
"Take a count of these surrendered soldiers, tell them our rules, then rest for a bit, and in half an hour, march on the outer garrison camp..."
"There are only two hours left until nightfall. We must not only destroy all the armed forces in Shuiyun Town, but also take control of the entire town!"
"Besides that, we must try our best to keep the news under wraps. We can spread the word that Shuiyun Town has fallen and has been captured by our Yanhuang Army... but our identities must never be exposed!"
Ye Hu immediately accepted the order, "Yes!"
Su Luo looked at the mess in front of her and a cold smile appeared on her lips.
We're now just one step away from taking Shuiyun Town. I wonder what Su Changsheng's expression will be when he hears this news?!
"My dear father, I wonder if you can guess, it was all my doing..."
Su Luo chuckled: "It's okay if you can't guess, the New Year is almost here! The surprise I prepared for you will be revealed soon!"
Just thinking about the scene where Su Yunxi and Su Xuan simultaneously changed their stance...
Su Luo just wanted to laugh!
Didn't Su Changsheng consider himself just a useless illegitimate child?!
So, what was his expression when his eldest son, on whom he placed so much hope, pointed the sword at him?
……
What followed went much more smoothly than Su Luo had imagined.
When the eight hundred personal guards of the Marquis of Sinan transformed into the Chiyou Army and stormed the outer garrison camp of Shuiyun Town, that group of people didn't even have the courage to struggle...
After all, considering their overall quality, the combat effectiveness of the Marquis of Sinan's personal guards is far superior to that of the garrison troops stationed outside Shuiyun Town.
Not to mention the barrage of arrows from the Yanhuang Army, which left the more than a thousand garrison troops utterly powerless to resist.
As for the garrison inside, well, of the eight hundred garrison troops, more than one hundred died, and the remaining six hundred or so all surrendered.
All three groups of troops were defeated.
Ye Hu quickly took control of the streets and alleys of Shuiyun Town, just as Su Luo had predicted, and completely controlled the town before nightfall.
Furthermore, troops were stationed at all the entrances and exits of the official roads outside Shuiyun Town.
That night.
At the town mayor's mansion in Shuiyun Town, Su Luo hosted a banquet, inviting all the main contributors to the operation.
Ye Hu, Zhang Daqiang, Liu Daoyang, and others took their seats.
Their faces were filled with excitement; clearly, this battle had been easier than they had imagined.
This made them all feel a bit ambitious.
Zhang Daqiang laughed and said, "Young master, I really didn't expect this. These guys used to say they were so powerful and brave, but in reality, they're just this weak?!"
"I'm starting to wonder, are we just too strong, or are they just too weak?!"
Ye Hu also laughed and said, "Of the four towns under Feiyun City, Shuiyun Town is already ranked number one... and this is it?!"
"Our losses in capturing Shuiyun Town this time did not exceed one hundred men!"
"And among privates, no more than twenty were killed or wounded!"
"And our Chi You army has been replenished. Now, with just Chi You's army, I am confident that we can take the remaining town..."
Of the four towns in Feiyun City, Shuiyun Town is completely under its control, while Feixia Town and Yunhai Town are within its grasp. Only Luoyun Town remains untouched.
The overall strength of Luoyun Town is actually about the same as that of Yunhai Town and Feixia Town.
However, Su Luo has not yet taken any action against Luoyun Town.
Ye Hu's question is essentially a request for when to take action against him.
Once Su Luo takes Luoyun Town, he will have control of the entire Feiyun City!
Only one main urban area remains!
Su Luo shook his head and said calmly, "We can't just take action in Luoyun Town!"
“If I take action against Luoyun Town, then our operation will be a true rebellion. If Luoyun Town doesn’t fall into our hands, then it’s just a regional issue at most…”
“Sinan Marquis Su Changsheng will not report this matter, because if he did, it would only show that he is incompetent.”
"We must take control of Marquis Sinan before Feiyun City falls completely..."
Zhang Daqiang couldn't help but laugh and said, "When Feiyun City will completely fall is up to us, young master..."
Su Luo smiled slightly, "If it really is only up to us, then we are in danger."
Liu Daoyang frowned, while Ye Hu reacted the fastest, saying, "Young Master, you mean..."
Zhang Daqiang belatedly realized, "Could someone else be rebelling?!"
Su Luo smiled slightly and said nothing more.
……
Meanwhile, at the Si Nan Marquis's residence, the Su family...
A figure clad in armor hurriedly entered the main hall and bowed down to Su Changsheng, who was drinking tea in the upper seat.
Su Changsheng raised his eyes and asked, "What? Have those rioters at the mine been suppressed?!"
As expected, there was a disturbance among the miners at the Feiyun City mine, who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to attack the Mo family's steward and demand an explanation.
Fortunately, the Su family members arrived quickly.
The armored figure looked troubled upon hearing this, "The suppression in Feiyun City has been completed, but..."
