Chapter 1037
"My lord, you mustn't!"
"This action will put you in danger, sir."
"If anything happens to you, sir, we would not hesitate to die!"
The commanders of the Big Sword Battalion, the A Battalion, and the B Battalion who marched with Xu Shan to Wanzhou were all promoted by Xu Shan.
It is no exaggeration to say that these three battalions, including the New Army Tiger Warriors, were regarded as totems and beliefs by everyone from top to bottom.
Therefore, after hearing his plan, everyone spoke up.
"My mind is made up; there is no need for further argument."
"Yes, but..."
"Remember, this is the siege method with the fewest casualties and the lowest cost!"
"No one."
The Wudang Flying Army, one of the two trump cards of the Shu army, was definitely not a bunch of good-for-nothings.
If the traditional siege warfare method were used, the three battalions would suffer heavy losses.
This is definitely something Xu Shan doesn't want to see.
"Now that I have brought you into Sichuan, I hope to bring you home safely and intact."
"I've already lost dozens of brothers in Wanzhou. I don't want any more brothers to die far from home!"
"You all better listen up..."
"This is an order."
When Xu Shan uttered those last four words in an almost growling voice, the commanders of the Third Battalion, their eyes filled with tears, stood up straight in unison and said, "Yes!"
"I swear to be loyal to you to the death, Lord Xu!"
The underlying meaning of this statement is that if anything were to happen to Xu Shan, Wanzhou would surely become a ghost town.
Even if they fight to the last drop of blood, they will still strive towards this goal.
Xu Shan, understanding the unspoken meaning in their words, grinned and patted the shoulders of the key men, saying, "Don't worry, brothers..."
"Only your siblings working together can harm my brothers."
"Why must we join forces, instead of just joining forces on actions or words?"
"Damn it. Dog Egg, get out of my way."
"Haha."
Zhang Liansong's interruption instantly lightened the slightly heavy atmosphere.
But when Xu Shan and Gou Dan chose to use their lightness skills to travel, several generals shouted in unison, "The Ming army is mighty!"
"If you advance, never retreat!"
"No surrender, no death!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Shan turned around and returned the greeting with the highest wartime courtesy.
Then, with lightning speed, they disappeared into the night.
"Board the ship immediately!"
"We must reach the outskirts of Wanzhou City before 9:00 AM."
"Anyone who wastes even a moment will be court-martialed."
"Yes."
At the second hour of Mao (5-7 AM), the city gates of Wanzhou slowly opened!
The notice posted outside the city clearly stated the evil deeds of Xu Shan and his accompanying Imperial Guards. In order to prevent the "villains" from infiltrating the city and causing trouble, everyone entering the city must be carefully checked.
The yawning guards were extremely impatient with the vendors and civilians who were preparing to push their carts into the city.
He was swearing and cursing, not uttering a single clean word.
"Everyone, line up properly."
"Open all the bundles."
"No martial arts practitioners carrying swords or knives are allowed to enter the city recently."
"Anyone who dares to disregard the regulations will be executed on the spot."
The leading captain, standing on high, roared with an air of dominance.
Upon hearing his shout, most of the vendors and ordinary people hurriedly and nervously formed long queues.
However, two figures not only did not queue up, but also carried blades. After tearing down the notice in public, they walked towards the city gate with cold expressions.
"Ok?"
The two's abrupt behavior naturally attracted the attention of the guards.
The captain in particular drew his sword with a 'whoosh' and pointed it directly at them, saying, "Didn't you hear what I said?"
'Sizzle.'
No sooner had he finished speaking than a cold glint appeared.
Immediately afterward, the captain, who had been baring his teeth and grimacing just a second ago, was decapitated the next.
The gushing blood splattered everywhere.
So much so that the scene, which had just been brought under control, was suddenly filled with piercing screams.
"what!"
"Kill, kill someone."
'Clatter.'
Like startled birds, the common people and merchants quickly scattered and hid from the two men.
The guards, still shaken, retreated with their faces ashen.
But when they saw the familiar blade of the attacker, they screamed in terror, "Embroidered...Embroidered Spring Blade?"
"They...they are traitors from the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"
'Uh-huh. '
As soon as the man finished speaking, a surge of powerful internal energy transformed into a blade, directly severing his head in front of everyone.
'Pah-ta-ta.'
This bloodthirsty scene caused the remaining dozen or so guards to scramble and retreat.
"When did the emperor's personal guards become 'traitors'?"
As soon as the leading man finished speaking, hundreds of guards armed with bows and arrows surged out from the city wall.
"It's those two!"
"Indiscriminate shooting."
Upon hearing the strange noises outside the city gates, the deputy general in charge of the city's defenses immediately led his men to rush over.
Once they locked onto the two figures, they immediately issued the order.
'Whoosh, whoosh!'
As soon as he finished speaking, the guard who had already drawn his bow and arrow quickly released the crossbow bolt.
The next second, hundreds of arrows came hurtling towards the two of them.
however……
What followed was a bizarre scene that sent chills down the spines of the soldiers on the city wall.
The man in the lead, instead of dodging the rain of arrows, leaped up and charged straight at them!
Immediately afterwards, the arrow, which had been fired with all its might, seemed to be frozen in mid-air as the man casually charged forward.
The man's figure brushed past the rain of arrows in a fleeting moment, his arm swinging gracefully.
Completely controlled by his energy, the arrowheads instantly changed direction and shot directly at the soldiers on the city wall.
"what?"
"run."
'Whoosh.'
'Pfft. '
"Ow."
On the city wall, hundreds of defenders lay in pools of blood, wailing incessantly.
The deputy general, struggling to maintain his strength, was about to organize another attack when he discovered that the figure was already standing beside him.
Standing facing south, one can gaze at Caishikou, the very center of Wanzhou City.
At that moment, several figures, barely clinging to life, were hanging there.
The man who witnessed this scene twitched slightly at the corner of his eye, and his entire face turned sinister and ferocious.
"you you……"
'Snapped. '
Before the deputy general could finish speaking, the man, without even looking at the other man's hand, slapped him on the top of the head.
'boom. ’
In an instant, the opponent's body exploded like a deflated watermelon.
This bloody and terrifying scene caused the surviving guards on the city wall to tremble with fear.
"Guo Yijing, Huang Ruyan... deserve to die!"
'bass.'
As soon as he finished speaking, the man, who had only paused on the city wall for a few dozen breaths, leaped up and rushed towards the vegetable market entrance of Wanzhou City.
The next second, a loud sound resounded throughout the entire city of Wanzhou.
"I, Xu Shan, hereby swear that if I do not slaughter you all today, I will not be a human being."
