Chapter 145 Collaboration with the enemy and treason
At this moment, in the camp of the Marquis of Sinan's personal guards, two thousand of the Marquis of Sinan's personal guards had already formed a square formation, but they all had doubts and were discussing among themselves.
"What is General Xue planning to do?!"
"Are we to go and guard the Feiyun City mine? But so many of our comrades have already gone there..."
"Has something happened again?"
"These are truly turbulent times... I've heard that the barbarians on the border are about to cause trouble again, and a major war might break out at any moment..."
"Heh, why worry about so much? All we need to do is follow the Marquis and fight the enemy. What do we care if the common people die? The more barbarians there are, the more merit we'll have..."
"But……"
Hearing these discussions, Liu Daoyang and the others stood at the front of the formation, their eyelids twitching.
It's true that like generals, like soldiers.
These guys have no regard for the common people; they even secretly hope that barbarians will invade the border so that they can gain more merit!
It must be said that although Su Luo and Xue Baifeng did not care about the common people, the soldiers under their command were indeed treated very well!
The reason is simple: if the pay isn't good, who's going to do the dirty and hard work for you?!
The personal guards of the Marquis of Sinan were supposedly set up to defend against barbarian invasions, but... the Marquis of Sinan, Su Changsheng, also frequently transferred them away to do his own things!
Putting aside everything else, his personal guards were selected from these personal troops!
What's the difference between the Marquis of Sinan's personal guards and his private army?!
Back then, several of the Marquis of Sinan's personal guards even went directly to Su Luo's Xiaoyun Village, demanding that Su Luo provide some manpower so he could exchange them for money at the mines...
It's clear that Su Changsheng had to treat his personal guards exceptionally well to get them to do such things!
Therefore, some of these personal guards of the Marquis of Sinan deserved to die!
Of course, there are some who still have some kindness... Therefore, Su Luo has made a decision: if he can subdue them, he doesn't necessarily have to kill them all!
Since we've made up our minds to capture Shuiyun Town, we can't afford to kill every surrendered soldier; otherwise, it will be very difficult to develop our forces!
However, Su Luo also devised a system for dealing with the surrendered troops!
First of all, even if the surrendered troops submit, they cannot be considered part of the Yanhuang Army...
It was Chi You's army!
The Chi You Army was also divided into three ranks: upper, middle, and lower. To be promoted from the Chi You Army to the Yanhuang Army, one needed military merit!
In this way, even the surrendered soldiers have hope!
It can even stimulate their fighting spirit, preventing them from retreating when fighting the enemy...
Of course, these are things that Su Luo can worry about after he has subdued them!
"coming!"
Just as everyone was waiting for Xue Baifeng, Liu Daoyang and the others suddenly retreated.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard!
The personal guards of the Marquis of Sinan in the camp were suddenly stunned and looked at each other in bewilderment!
"what happens?!"
"Could it be that those people from the Feiyun City mines have returned? But even if they did, there's no need for such a commotion..."
In an instant, none of the Marquis of Sinan's personal guards expected that an enemy attack had taken place!
After all, this is Shuiyun Town, which is quite a distance from the border. No matter how hard you try, the barbarians can't possibly invade this place...
As for rebellion?! Nobody even considered it!
Shuiyun Town is one of the four towns in Feiyun City, as sturdy as a fortress. Who would be so foolish as to choose Shuiyun Town to start a rebellion?!
For all these reasons, when the bolts of the composite crossbow appeared in dense volleys, many of the guards were unable to react in time!
Whoosh!
Whoosh whoosh!
A rain of crossbow bolts poured down, dense and numerous, as if to engulf the entire earth!
Immediately afterwards, a series of angry roars rang out!
"Kill!"
"Kill all these treacherous villains who aid and abet the wicked, and stand up for the people of my Great Xia!"
"The Marquis of Sinan is wicked; today we will act on behalf of Heaven to uphold justice!"
When these words were heard, more than 20% of the two thousand-strong formation had already fallen to the ground, wounded by arrows!
boom!
The camp erupted in chaos. Everyone was stunned and had no idea what was happening!
They hastily grabbed their weapons and shields, intending to defend themselves...
But, it's too late!
When Liu Daoyang first arrived at the camp with Xue Baifeng's token, he had already figured out the general situation of the camp and had someone give it to Ye Hu!
At this moment, Ye Hu led his men straight in, and the more than four hundred men behind him were like leeks being cut down, their swords and blades aimed directly at the Marquis of Sinan's personal guard...
No matter how they dodge or resist, it's useless!
Moreover, following Su Luo's instructions, Ye Hu left a hundred archers outside, ready to unleash a volley of arrows when the time was right...
Therefore, this camp of two thousand people, which was clearly the strongest and most difficult to conquer, had more than five hundred people fall to the ground in a short period of time!
At this moment, Su Luo, Zhang Daqiang, and the others also arrived!
Holding the letter, Su Luo shouted, "The Yanhuang Army is in rebellion! Those who surrender will not be killed!"
"The Yanhuang Army is in rebellion; those who surrender will not be killed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless people in the Yanhuang Army responded.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
However, many of the Marquis of Sinan's personal guards remained obstinate, shouting, "Surrender?! You're dreaming!"
"How dare you! Are you plotting a rebellion? Do you know that this is a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of your family!"
"When General Xue returns, he and Mayor Su will kill you all!"
At that moment, Su Luo threw Xue Baifeng's head into the air with a thunderous roar.
"General Xue?! The General Xue you speak of will never return!"
"And Su Mingtian is dead too! They both died at my hands!"
"If you continue to be so stubborn, don't blame us for being impolite... Those who surrender will not be killed!"
As he spoke, he charged into the battlefield, his Tang sword like the scythe of death, sweeping through the crowd and instantly killing several heads!
This scene, witnessed by many of the Marquis of Sinan's personal guards, caused a look of fear to unconsciously appear in their eyes!
Although no one has surrendered yet, some are already considering retiring!
Immediately afterward, Su Luo shouted, "Open your eyes and look! Is this the Marquis of Sinan that you all admire?!"
"This is the lord you risk your lives for? You think killing barbarians is a way to achieve great deeds!"
"But take a good look... who exactly summoned these barbarians!"
"That's right, it was the good Marquis you all know, the Marquis of Sinan, who summoned them! He colluded with foreign enemies and, in order to get more military pay from the court, deliberately let the barbarians into the border!"
“He has no regard for your lives, nor for the common people… He has always been a traitor and colluder with the enemy!”
"All along, Su Changsheng has been using your lives to make money!"
boom!
These words nearly caused an uproar!
