Chapter 188 God’s Will
After hearing Su Luo's words, everyone felt their blood boil.
Only Zhang Daqiang sensed that something was wrong.
He gave Su Luo a deep look, but didn't say anything.
Xu Risheng exclaimed, "Young Master!"
"With your words, young master, I am relieved. As long as you are willing to lead us, we will definitely succeed!"
"Not just Linshui County, but Qingzhou as well..."
A strange light gleamed in Xu Risheng's eyes as he said, "I believe that you, young master, can lead us to the highest peak!"
Nine tripods!
That is, the position of the supreme ruler!
Upon hearing this, countless people in the room looked at Xu Risheng in shock!
No one expected Xu Risheng to say such a thing. Even if it was flattery... there was no need for that, was there?!
Su Luo glanced at him and chuckled, "You... you're making it sound so real."
"But why can't we?!"
Xu Risheng was initially a little embarrassed, after all, what he said was indeed a bit too... too exaggerated.
But after hearing the second half of Su Luo's sentence, his eyes lit up.
Yes, why not?!
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Zhang Daqiang and the others all burst into laughter.
Why not?!
If they can rebel, why can't they think about conquering the entire Great Xia?
At this moment, Su Luo's ambition... seemed to be fully revealed!
What he wanted was to conquer the entire Great Xia!
He wants to change the sun and moon, and usher in a new era!
Ye Qingyou, who was listening nearby, was trembling all over, her eyes shining with a strange light.
She had always known that Su Luo was no ordinary person, but she never expected...
Su Luo's ambitions are this great!
"Young master, I want to join the Yanhuang Army!"
At this moment, Ye Qingyou suddenly said, "Whatever the Yanhuang Army needs, I will learn it!"
"I want to join you... Call it a rebellion if you want, call it contributing my strength to the people if you want..."
Su Luo looked at Ye Qingyou with some surprise, then nodded.
"You little rascal, you've got some ideas..."
"However, since you have made up your mind, of course I will not refuse."
……
Three days later, everything in Wanhai City had been arranged.
Su Luo has completely won over Xu Risheng and made him her confidant.
At this moment, Zhang Daqiang looked at Su Luo and hesitated for a moment.
Su Luo noticed the change in Zhang Daqiang's eyes and said casually, "Daqiang, if you have something on your mind, don't keep it to yourself!"
"After all, don't I know you well enough? Even if you want to fart loudly or silently, I know exactly what's going on!"
Seeing Su Luo's mocking gaze, Zhang Daqiang finally couldn't hold back and said, "Young Master, I want to know..."
"You suddenly changed your plans, is there some unforeseen event?!"
The plans have been changed!
That's right, Su Luo originally didn't intend to take action against Feiyun City so quickly!
In fact, at first the idea was... to catch Marquis Su Changsheng of Sinan off guard when it came time to take action against Linshui County!
They directly launched a defection campaign and took control of the entire Flying Cloud City!
At that time, Su Changsheng will be completely isolated and helpless!
In this way, even if Su Luo's forces are not strong enough, his chances of winning will greatly increase...
But now that the plan has been suddenly changed, the risk is quite high!
Although Xu Jiajun became part of the Yanhuang Army after taking Wanhai City, Zhang Daqiang still felt that the time was too short!
Even if Su Luo's training methods were implemented in the Xu family army, it wouldn't be able to significantly improve the Xu family army in just a few days!
So, isn't Su Luo's idea a bit too risky?
However, Zhang Daqiang was also very clear about one thing: since Su Luo had brought it up, it meant that he had indeed given it thought...
Su Luo smiled upon hearing this, took something out of his pocket, and handed it to Zhang Daqiang.
Zhang Daqiang looked down and exclaimed, "What's this? It's just a lump of iron!"
Su Luo instructed him to aim at a rock not far away and pull the trigger.
boom!
A strong smell of saltpeter immediately filled the air!
Then, a deep pit appeared on the rock!
The surrounding area was blackened, with charred marks!
Zhang Daqiang's eyes widened in disbelief. "Young Master, what is this...?"
"This thing is called a musket!"
"From now on, these will be standard weapons of the Yanhuang Army..."
Su Luo said casually, "When we captured Wanhai City, Uncle Shen from Langya Mountain sent me a letter..."
"He was referring to the news of the successful development of the musket!"
"Daqiang, now you tell me, if we use muskets on the battlefield, what dangers would we still be in?!"
"Even if our numbers don't increase, do you think... I could directly attack Feiyun City and then take Linshui County?!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Daqiang immediately stepped forward to examine the crater left by the musket on the rock.
He swallowed hard, stepped forward to touch it, and said, "With this, let alone taking Linshui County directly... even if we march all the way to Qingzhou, we might not lose!"
"Young master, what kind of weapon is this... It's like a thunderclap in broad daylight compressed into this tiny lump of iron..."
"In this way, our combat power... no, it's no longer combat power..."
"We're practically fighting with godlike power! How could we possibly lose?!"
Su Luo said calmly, "Daqiang, I should have told you before that no matter what the situation, you must remain humble and composed..."
"After all, we could lose under any circumstances!"
"Don't tell me this isn't some divine power... it's just an ordinary firearm. As time goes on, there will be much more powerful firearms!"
"Even if we truly possess divine power, if we become too arrogant and overconfident, we could still be defeated!"
Zhang Daqiang immediately bowed and said, "Young master, I understand!"
Immediately afterwards, Su Luo made arrangements, and Zhang Daqiang was to preside over the battle of Feiyun City!
Su Luo will have Shen Laosan allocate 500 muskets to Zhang Daqiang!
Although there were only five hundred muskets, Su Luo believed that with Zhang Daqiang's combat capabilities and his two thousand soldiers...
That's more than enough to crush Flying Cloud City!
Even if the garrison of Feiyun City might exceed eight thousand men, that's several times the number of Zhang Daqiang's troops!
But so what?!
Zhang Daqiang's men are all elite soldiers from the Yanhuang Army, and a considerable number of them are privates first class!
In addition, there were muskets and compound crossbows...
Given Zhang Daqiang's personality and abilities, if he fails to take Feiyun City within a day!
Then, Su Luo began to wonder... if she had misjudged him?!
After hearing Su Luo's arrangements, Zhang Daqiang was somewhat surprised: "Young Master, you... intend to participate in this battle?!"
This is beyond my imagination!
Su Luo even participated in the Battle of Wanhai City, so why... doesn't he plan to participate in the Battle of Feiyun City?!
Su Luo said calmly, "I will wait for you in Linshui County!"
Yes, Su Luo's real purpose was not the New Year's Day in half a month... but to attack the county seat of Linshui County immediately after the Yanhuang Army took Feiyun City!
Furthermore, Su Luo has already begun to plan how to take action against the county seat of Linshui County!
Once Zhang Daqiang has taken Feiyun City, he must reunite with Su Luo as quickly as possible...
"Strike while the iron is hot!"
Su Luo said calmly, "With muskets in hand, I will take over the entire Linshui County without anyone's knowledge!"
"And let Su Changsheng see what his most despised illegitimate son looks like now!"
Once we take over Linshui County, we can then deal with the Mo family!
Everything is already in place!
Su Luo was rather conservative before because... he had been ignoring one factor!
That is the power of faith!
In the present Great Xia Dynasty, from the imperial power and high-ranking officials to ordinary people, everyone has an unwavering belief in ghosts and gods!
So, if Su Luo could start a rebellion with muskets...
Just as Zhang Daqiang just said, in everyone's eyes, he was carrying the power of a god and conquering all directions!
Who could withstand that?!
……
Time flies.
In the Si Nan Marquis's residence, Su Changsheng seemed to have aged decades in a short period of time.
"how's it going?!"
"What's going on now?!"
Su Changsheng said anxiously, "Those rebels have already been executed..."
Now, news of Wanhai City's fall has arrived!
Moreover, it is said that Feiyun City is also in danger, and Su Changsheng has already sent Xue Wanren with men to guard Feiyun City!
There are 5,000 soldiers guarding Feiyun City!
Furthermore, Xue Wanren led three thousand Xue family soldiers. It could be said that in his view, as long as the barbarians did not invade!
Then suppressing the so-called rebels will be a piece of cake!
After all, these eight thousand people are elite-trained individuals, and cannot be generalized!
In his eyes, the rebel army was just a bunch of makeshift bandits... how could they possibly handle the forces led by Xue Wanren?!
However, he still felt extremely anxious!
Because so many unexpected things have happened recently, Su Changsheng has become somewhat insecure!
From the fall of Wan Hai City to now...
Su Changsheng had many ambitions, but he never imagined that Linshui County would become like this one day under his control!
He was greedy and wanted to gradually use the Xue family's power to satisfy his own desires by marrying Madam Xue...
But who could have imagined that the Xue family would suffer repeated defeats in the small Linshui County?!
Upon hearing Su Changsheng's question, the scout's expression immediately turned ugly: "My lord..."
"Something bad is going to happen!"
Upon hearing this, Su Changsheng's heart skipped a beat!
However, he took a deep breath and said, "Tell me what happened, this lord can handle it..."
At this moment, the scout hesitated for a moment before saying, "My lord!"
"A thunderclap in broad daylight has struck again!"
Upon hearing this, Su Changsheng's eyelids twitched involuntarily—it was like a thunderbolt in broad daylight!
Another thunderclap in broad daylight!
What exactly is going on? !
Could it be that ghosts and gods really exist in this world...?
Moreover, this ghost or spirit seems to dislike Su Changsheng?!
For a moment, Su Changsheng was at a loss for words!
At this moment, the scout said again, "This time, the daytime thunder... has been seized by someone..."
"what?!"
Su Changsheng finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Such a thing actually happens in the world?!"
"A thunderclap in broad daylight, the power of ghosts and gods... and yet, it has been seized by someone?!"
"Who is it?! I don't believe it, who... could possess such power!"
The scout gritted his teeth before saying, "Not just one person, or a few people... but many people!"
"More than several hundred people!"
"I heard that when Young Master Xue Wanren was leading his troops, a group of people suddenly raised their hands in front of him..."
"Then, lightning struck!"
"Young Master Xue Wanren and all his personal guards are dead!"
"Now... those rebellious soldiers are no longer called rebels in the streets, they are called the Yanhuang Army..."
"Therefore, some people in the market have already begun to call them... the Heavenly Will Yanhuang Army!"
The scout sighed, "My lord, no matter what... Flying Cloud City has already fallen!"
Yes, it's only been a few days since Wanhai City fell!
However, Flying Cloud City has already fallen!
Xue Wanren has already died at the hands of the Yanhuang Army...
If Su Changsheng had heard this news before, he would have been furious and incredulous!
But at this moment, he was already somewhat numb!
Another thunderclap in broad daylight!
Moreover, it is controlled by people, and not just one person...
It was a group of people!
These news items shocked Su Changsheng even more than the fall of Feiyun City!
"Is it really fate that I am destined to perish?!"
Su Changsheng's expression turned ugly, and he finally roared, "No, I don't believe it!"
"Give the order that all troops of the Marquis of Sinan's mansion form ranks and prepare for battle!"
"Also, send a letter to the Mo family in Qingzhou... asking them to allocate troops, as I, the Marquis, will personally lead the army this time!"
"I refuse to believe it! Could some deity have descended to earth?!"
Upon hearing this, both the scout and Madam Xue outside were somewhat shocked.
A look of admiration flashed in Madam Xue's eyes, "My lord, you truly are worthy of being my lord..."
"I knew it, my lord, you would never disappoint!"
The Marquis of Sinan looked rather pale.
If he could, he wouldn't want to go into battle himself...
However, he was well aware that the Xue family had suffered enormous losses, and moreover, so many rebellions had broken out in his own fiefdom…
Su Changsheng no longer has the right to back down!
Even if he didn't want to go into battle, he had no choice but to... bite the bullet and step up!
Thinking of this, Su Changsheng suddenly thought of Su Luo, "Feiyun City has fallen, but what about that rebellious son from Xiaoyun Village?!"
"Could it be that he surrendered?!"
……
At this moment, Su Luo also planned to take the lead himself.
"Su Changsheng..."
"Since things have come to this, I should give you all the surprises I prepared for you."
Su Luo's lips twitched slightly. "I wonder what kind of expression you'll have when you find out I'm the leader of the Yanhuang Army?!"
Thinking about it carefully, I'm actually looking forward to it!
