When the soldiers heard the commander’s order, they quickly lit the lighter and prepared a big killing weapon. Su Qing could see clearly from the tree and confirmed the location of their gunpowder camp. She threw a grenade over and blew up everyone, including the detonator. It was earth-shattering, and the flames were monstrous.
“Shuisheng, Yongkang’s plan is still good, luring the Wan family army and capturing them all.”
Su Qing shouted at Xiao Zeyu. She sounded delighted, but Xiao Zeyu was stunned by her shout. What was going on? Was Su Qing too excited?
Wasn’t this Yongkang’s plan to wipe out Mo City’s Xiao Family Army? Why did she call it the Wan Family Army?
Su Qing flew down from the tree and landed on Big Black’s back. She rode her horse to Xiao Zeyu’s side and sat on the horse, winking at him mischievously.
Xiao Zeyu immediately understood Su Qing’s intentions. He had to admit that this was a good plan. It cut off Qiu Yongkang’s path of retreat and made him lose Wan Shengchang’s trust. He would no longer have a chance to harm Mo Cheng.
“Qing’er, good plan.”
Xiao Zeyu looked at Su Qing with a smile, his voice filled with love and praise.
Su Qing sat on the horse’s back, looking brave and beautiful. She narrowed her eyes as she looked at the Wan family’s soldiers, who fled in all directions after being blown up by the grenades. She deliberately let a few of them go so that they could report back to Wan Shengchang.
The remaining ones were all killed. The two armies had to be ruthless enough to eradicate as many enemies as possible.
Su Qing looked at Xiao Zeyu and smiled brightly.
“Shuisheng, let’s see who kills more people?”
“I definitely won’t lose to Qing’er.”
Su Qing aroused Xiao Zeyu’s competitive spirit. With an authoritative wave of his horsewhip, he held his spear and charged towards the rest of the Wan Family Army.
“Fight.”
Su Qing clamped the Big Black Horse’s stomach with her legs and charged at the Wan Family Army that the commander had just gathered with her embroidered broadsword.
The soldiers of the Wan Family Army were originally well-trained and brave, but they had always won battles. This was the first time they had been beaten so severely. They were even more afraid of the grenade that would explode and blow people up. They were all busy running away. Just as they were chased by the commander and prepared to counterattack, they were rushed by Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu.
The two of them were like tigers charging into a flock of sheep. Su Qing slashed left and right with her embroidered broadsword. She rode her horse and killed more than a dozen soldiers. These people only felt the sound of the wind and lost their heads without even having the chance to resist.
Xiao Zeyu wasn’t bad, either. He was courageous, like a lion that had risen. The spear in his hand flipped left and right, and the Wan Family Army soldiers were like ants that were picked up and thrown down by him.
Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu’s bravery boosted the morale of the Xiao Family Army. Even though it was the recruits’ first time on the battlefield, their blood was still boiling from the two generals, and their shouts of battle shook the sky.
This was how it was in a war. Whoever had strong momentum and was not afraid of death would win.
Under the leadership of Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu, the Xiao Family Army was like a ferocious tiger that had escaped from its cage. Wherever they went, heads would fall, and the white snow would be dyed red with blood. The Wan Family Army was left with very few people, but they feared the Wan Family Army’s rules. They could only die in battle, and no one dared to retreat unless their commander gave the order.
The commander of the Wan Family Army had many wounds on his body. The person fighting with him was Su Qing. She had shown mercy and did not kill him. Otherwise, his head would have fallen to the ground.
Seeing that there were not many people left, the commander shouted,
“Retreat.”
With the orders from the general, the Wan Family Army no longer fought. They turned around and ran. When they came, there were more than a thousand elite soldiers. When they returned, there were only a few dozen left. They came in majestically and threw away their helmets and armor.
Su Qing ordered her soldiers.
“Flipping.”
The fine tradition of escaping from famine could not be lost. All the corpses were turned over; if they saw any living one, they would be stabbed again. Clothes, money, cotton boots, horses, everything that could be seized was not lost.
This was how satisfying it was to win a battle!
The soldiers were busy searching the corpses and removing anything that could be used. Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu went to inspect the coal mine.
Fortunately, although the Wan Clan Army snatched it, it was not destroyed.
“How will I explain this to the young and old men of Peach Blossom Cove?”
Looking at the soldiers killed by the Wan Family Army and the non-disabled men of Peach Blossom Cove, Xiao Zeyu was very sad and ordered his men to transport these corpses back to Mo City.
“Shuisheng, the one who killed them was the Wan Family Army, and the one who harmed them was Qiu Yongkang; you don’t have to blame yourself!”
Su Qing consoled Xiao Zeyu. He was still too sentimental and hadn’t hardened his heart.
“Giving them more money and caring for them is the only thing I can do for them.”
Xiao Zeyu’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he suppressed the sadness in his heart. Caring for their families could also be considered comforting their souls in heaven!
Su Qing didn’t want him to blame himself anymore, so she changed the topic and asked what he should do next.
“Shuisheng, in the past, we were all passively beaten up. We were always on the defensive and never took the initiative to attack. Since Wan Shengchang already knows about your existence and the iron ore mine, there’s no need to hide our strength and bide our time. While they’re still unprepared, we’ll take Jin City and Luo City and use these two cities as a barrier to block the Wan Family Army.”
“Good, Qing’er said that I was thinking in my heart. In the past, we had always been on the defensive. At that time, we had no choice but to be beaten. Now, it is time for us to hold our heads high. The old thief of the Wan family is now in trouble. We will beat the dog that is in the water and revive the Xiao family’s military.”
Xiao Zeyu stood against the wind. His eyes were domineering and fierce, filled with ambition. He had the aura of an overlord of a generation.
“Alright, leave some people here to deal with the aftermath. We’ll go to Luo City and take it down in one go. We’ll have a good rest there.”
Su Qing had to seize the moment and take down Luo City when they were unprepared. Her eyes were filled with confidence, and Xiao Zeyu was also filled with pride. He shouted,
“Alright, let’s rest in the city.”
Su Qing looked sideways at Xiao Zeyu. With that lofty ambition that looked down on the world with that domineering aura, he was worthy of being Su Qing’s man, a dragon among men.
Xiao Zeyu arranged for his men to continue mining the coal mines. The profitable business could not be stopped. He left the injured and some soldiers behind and ordered 200 elite soldiers to march towards Jin City with Su Qing.
They rushed without rest. When they arrived at Jin City at night, the city gates were already closed, the suspension bridge was raised, and torches flashed on the city walls. The patrolling soldiers walked back and forth. Even when the Wan Clan Army patrolled, they were vigilant.
It must be said that Wan Yulin had a good way of managing the army and was also an ambitious figure.
Su Qing sat on the horse and looked at the city gate of Jin City. The city gate was very thick at this time. She calculated how many grenades she could use to open the city gate.
“Did you bring Rolling Wood, Qing’er, your grenade? Can you blast open the city gate?”
Xiao Zeyu frowned as he looked at the tightly shut city gate. A siege required siege tools. Usually, rolling logs were used to break the gate, and ladders were used to climb the city wall. However, he did not have either of these. He could only hope that Su Qing had grenades. Otherwise, it would be easier to attack the city when the city gate opened tomorrow morning.
“Almost. I’ll blow up the city gate and lower the drawbridge. You lead the troops and charge in one go.”
“I’ll go!”
Xiao Zeyu didn’t trust Su Qing to do such a dangerous thing. He asked Su Qing for a grenade and prepared to go first..
