Chapter 539
"If one person dies, ten members of his Yan family will be buried with him. If a hundred people die, I will dig up his Yan family's ancestral graves and whip the corpses to comfort the souls of my brothers."
As soon as Xu Shan finished speaking, all the Jinyiwei shouted in unison: "Anyone who offends our Jinyiwei will be killed, no matter how far away they are!"
"Fight, fight, fight!"
"Kill, kill, kill..."
The overwhelming murderous intent attacked the officers and soldiers.
To the point that they became afraid before the battle even started and were thinking of retreating before they even drew their swords!
Xu Shan's arrogance and the echoes of the Jinyiwei who accompanied him were all a severe slap in the face of Duke Qing.
The cowardice and panic of his own soldiers were like changing an arm to slap the other half of his face, making Yan Peng, who was in a dilemma, angry and humiliated!
He knew better than anyone that if he gave in on today's matter, the prestige that the Duke of Qing's Mansion had accumulated in Suzhou over the years would be gone!
But he also knew that if he surrounded and killed the imperial envoy in public, no matter what excuse he made up, the Duke of Qing's Mansion would eventually become the target of public criticism.
But now the arrow is on the string, he has to shoot!
After a few breaths of silence, Yan Peng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, very good!"
"Since you are so stubborn and still don't respect the laws of the land..."
"Then I will deal with you properly on behalf of His Majesty."
"All Suzhou garrisons have them!"
"Have!"
"Ok?"
As soon as Yan Peng finished shouting this, the thousands of garrison troops on the scene only made sporadic responses.
This is in stark contrast to the momentum displayed by the Jinyiwei, who consisted of only a few hundred people!
"You haven't eaten yet?"
"All Suzhou garrisons have..."
"Have."
Following Yan Peng's roar, the soldiers reluctantly responded collectively.
Let them harm others, bully men and women, abuse their power for personal gain, pretend, and scare people... These soldiers are definitely experts.
But if you really let them fight to the death, what will happen to the young lady you just snatched from your home and the money you have saved for your coffin?
Just looking at the annual reports from Suzhou Prefecture, there are either bandit problems or Japanese pirates running rampant, so there is nothing wrong with spending money on military training.
But actually?
The biggest local pirates are the dogs kept outside by the Duke of Qing's Mansion; as for the Japanese pirates... due to the special geographical location, there are very few of them along the coast of Suzhou.
If we really encounter Japanese pirates, they will retreat when the enemy advances and advance when the enemy retreats!
The battle reports either show repeated defeats and continued fighting, or after a bloody battle, they find a few scapegoats to pass off as military achievements.
The combat effectiveness is shockingly low!
Now let them fight with a group of Jinyiwei who kill without blinking an eye?
Are you kidding me!
The strict personal guards were completely slaughtered in Wujin, and the most elite heavy cavalry became Zhang Liansong's background.
Even the most powerful Qiu Gongfeng may not have a chance of winning!
How to fight this battle?
"Everyone has it!"
"Draw the sword from your waist and capture these lawless people."
'bass! ’
"Run it for me."
Yan Peng drew his sword and shouted slogans loudly.
However, the deputy generals who led their own teams at the scene all turned their attention to their main general - Yan Ke!
No, at this time, shouldn’t it be Commander Yan who leads us to charge?
Why, after Duke Qing shouted these two words, he hid behind?
The commander-in-chief won’t charge, and we only earn a few taels of silver a month, so why would we risk our lives?
The unified "combat thinking" made Yan Peng scream for a few breaths, and no one left the scene.
No one even agreed.
"Wow..."
Only a flock of crows flew in from nowhere, making strange cries, which made Yan Peng, who was brandishing the blade, stand there awkwardly, looking extremely unsightly.
"You, you guys, what are you all doing standing there?"
"Come on!"
"Whew!"
Just as Yan Peng was roaring at everyone, a burst of horse neighing came from the opposite side of him.
Xu Shan, who had mounted his horse, held the reins with one hand, stared at Yan Peng with his head held high and chest puffed out, saying, "Duke Qing..."
"In a battle like this, you shouldn't say 'charge!'"
"Instead, you should shout..."
'Sizzle!'
As he spoke, Xu Shan drew his blade and shouted loudly: "Brothers!"
"Have!"
In an instant, all the Jinyiwei mounted their horses, eager to try!
"Come at me!"
