Chapter 116 Get Ready for a Massacre!

According to everyone's estimates, the number of people escorting the warhorses from Feiyun City this time is at most two or three hundred.

The same goes for Sulo.

So he asked Zhang Daqiang for Liu Daoyang and Hong Feng, and also found more than a hundred privates in Langya Mountain.

Under normal circumstances, these hundred-odd people would have a significant advantage in terms of terrain and equipment.

They are definitely capable of dealing with two or three hundred elite soldiers from Flying Cloud City.

Unexpectedly, an accident occurred, and five hundred people actually showed up.

Shen Laosan had never encountered such a situation before and was extremely anxious: "What should we do?"

"Young master, use gunpowder! Otherwise, all the brothers will die!"

With over a hundred people against over five hundred, even if they manage to win, the casualties will be enormous.

Therefore, Shen Laosan wanted to use gunpowder directly...

Once gunpowder is used, the situation can be reversed immediately.

However, Su Luo still shook his head and said, "Using gunpowder, if it cannot be controlled, will also result in great casualties."

"More importantly, if someone escapes once gunpowder is used, we'll be in big trouble."

"Uncle Shen, you should know very well the importance of gunpowder..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Laosan froze, his expression momentarily blank.

He was well aware of how important gunpowder was.

Such a powerful weapon of war could decide the outcome of a battle between two countries.

Once it appears in the sight of others.

If it doesn't attract the attention of powerful forces, that's fine, but if it falls into the sights of the imperial court or other people with ulterior motives...

Then, both Langya Mountain and Su Luo will suddenly become the target of everyone's criticism.

Now, Su Luo can only use gunpowder as his trump card.

However, he did not yet have the ability to protect the gunpowder.

Don't spout any nonsense about the destructive power of gunpowder being a game-changer...

The Great Xia Dynasty is divided into nineteen states, and Qingzhou alone has an army of 300,000. It would be too easy for them to deal with Su Luo now!

Shen Laosan asked anxiously, "But what should we do if we don't use gunpowder..."

Although Su Luo's brows were still furrowed, his tone had calmed down.

He stood up and looked outside: "I will take action."

I didn't expect that I would personally take to the battlefield so soon, but I never thought that just by plundering a warhorse, I would have to personally go into battle.

Su Luo looked at Shen Laosan and asked, "Uncle Shen, is the weapon I asked you to forge for me ready?"

"Young master, are you going to the battlefield yourself?!"

Shen Laosan immediately realized: "This is too dangerous..."

Su Luo shook his head and said, "The danger level of this operation has increased several levels. If I don't personally take the lead, the soldiers will definitely panic!"

"Give me my knife!"

Before his last trip to Feixia Town, Su Luo had visited Langya Mountain and given Shen Laosan a blueprint.

They asked him to help forge a long sword.

Old Man Shen gritted his teeth, knowing he couldn't persuade Su Luo, so he had no choice but to take out the weapon.

Su Luo drew it from its leather sheath, its blade gleaming coldly, long and slightly curved like a willow leaf.

The handle also has an interface that allows the handle to be lengthened, turning it into a long weapon.

This was clearly a... Tang sword.

It was also Su Luo's most handy cold weapon in his previous life.

Although Su Luo knew that the strongest weapons on the battlefield were still the crossbow and the spear.

However, what Su Luo liked even more was this Tang sword.

In his previous life, he had studied Tang swordsmanship for a period of time. While his swordsmanship was not quite at its pinnacle, it was certainly highly skilled.

With a single slash, Su Luo cleaved the table in front of him in two, which then crashed to the ground.

"Good knife!"

A smile appeared on Su Luo's lips.

He looked at Shen Laosan and immediately issued an order: "Uncle Shen, listen carefully, a great battle is imminent, I have the following deployment—"

"Immediately relay the news of the enemy increasing their manpower to Han Yan, and give him another thirty men... We need privates here, are there any more in Langya Mountain?"

After receiving Shen Laosan's nod, Su Luo said, "There are forty-five people in total. Let him adapt to the situation. If he can lead the manpower into the valley, that would be best."

“However, if he fails to do so, I will not punish him, but I hope he can promptly inform the mountain of any movements or changes made by the other party.”

Shen Laosan nodded, indicating that he understood.

Five hundred people and two or three hundred people are not the same thing at all. No one would expect Han Yan to lead five hundred people into the ambush valley.

Su Luo added, "Of course, it would be even better if the five hundred people could be divided into multiple groups."

"Besides that, there should be 140 privates in Langya Mountain. Leave 40 behind to provide support at any time. The remaining 100 privates, come with me!"

After saying that, Su Luo asked Shen Laosan to repeat himself.

After Shen Laosan finished repeating, Su Luo bowed slightly to him, "Uncle Shen, this is a very important matter! Thank you for your hard work!"

"But if we succeed, the strength of our Yanhuang Army will surely be greatly enhanced!"

Old Man Shen shook his head and said, "Young Master, that's not what I'm worried about... I'm most worried about you!"

"My young lady is still waiting for you in Xiaoyun Village, and the Si family bloodline must continue... Young master, you must protect yourself!"

In fact, Shen Laosan knew very well that with Su Luo's skills, he would definitely not have any problems if he didn't go to the front line.

However, he also knew that, given Su Luo's personality, he would inevitably take the lead.

Su Luo laughed heartily: "Don't worry, there won't be any accidents!"

Having said that, he took the knife and left, striding away.

……

The entire Langya Mountain was on edge, as if a storm was brewing.

But none of the soldiers on the mountain who were preparing to fight were afraid; on the contrary, they were only excited.

Because they knew very well that even a private in the Yanhuang Army could rival the elite soldiers of Feiyun City.

Moreover, their swords and armor were superior to those of the imperial army.

In addition, there are advantages in terrain...

When a war breaks out, there's absolutely no need to worry about losing; the only concern is how much merit you'll achieve!

After all, the more merits you make, the greater the reward!

What fueled their fighting spirit even more was that they had received news that Su Luo would also personally participate in the battlefield!

It should be noted that in all the training of the Yanhuang Army, Su Luo's presence was like that of a god, radiating brilliance.

Now that we can finally see Su Luo make a move, who wouldn't be excited?

……

At the foot of Langya Mountain.

Twenty miles from the valley where the ambush was planned, there was an abandoned post station.

Han Yan looked at the message in his hand and frowned: "The enemy's manpower has increased, not just by two or three hundred people, but directly to five hundred!"

He looked up at the 30th Private First Class who had just come to his side and asked with a smile, "Did the young master send you here so I could do whatever I wanted?"

All thirty of them grinned and nodded.

Han Yan loosened his muscles and said, "Goodness, I, Old Han, have finally become a 'general,' even though I only have about forty men under my command..."

"but--"

More than forty people turned to look at Han Yan.

Han Yan smiled broadly: "Get ready to go on a killing spree, everyone!"
