Chapter 540
'drive!'
'Pah-ta-ta.'
After saying this, Xu Shan, who was driving his mount, rushed out first like a bullet.
Zhang Liansong, Wang Qinian and others followed closely behind, all of them were eager to fight!
This sudden scene really caught Yan Peng off guard.
In his fixed mindset, his side had the advantage in numbers, and if they didn't take the initiative to attack, the other side would have to bow down to them.
How dare you charge directly into the battle?
Are you really not afraid of death?
"Master, be careful!"
Qiu Qianren suddenly sensed something and while shouting these words, he pulled Yan Peng aside and dodged quickly.
'Boom.'
The next second, a powerful sword intent directly shattered the area previously occupied by Yan Peng.
Yan Peng, who was carried by Qiu Qianren and dodged with the help of lightness skills, turned pale after seeing all this.
Damn it, I am a first-rank marquis after all.
You, Xu Shan, can you draw your sword just by saying so?
Still hacking to death?
Aren’t you afraid of provoking a mutiny among the Suzhou garrison and a collective condemnation from the Jiangnan gentry?
"Why are you standing still?"
"Protect the Lord!"
"Stop him, stop them..."
'bass! ’
'Sizzle.'
Yan Ke and Gao Teng were taken to the rear. Seeing Xu Shan and others rushing towards them angrily, they screamed and retreated in panic.
The soldiers pushed forward were either defeated or killed as soon as they came into contact with these wolf-like and ferocious Jinyiwei.
Not only them, but also the garrison soldiers who rushed out from several other streets and were ordered to block the road turned their horses around after seeing the Yan father and son fleeing in panic.
Especially when they saw more than a hundred Jinyiwei soldiers, divided into several groups, charging towards them, they ran back without stopping for a moment.
"Retreat, everyone retreat!"
"Don't get in the way!"
'Snap, snap.'
"Go away!"
Before the Jinyiwei could rush over, the panicked deputy general used his sword to chop down his soldiers and cut a bloody path for himself to escape.
In the crowded and narrow streets, the advantage in numbers has now become a burden.
Amidst the riots, stampedes occurred frequently.
The shrill screams echoed throughout the entire West City.
The onlookers were also fortunate enough to witness a scene that they would never forget.
More than a hundred of the emperor's personal soldiers, dressed in Feiyu uniforms and holding embroidered spring swords, chased thousands of officers and soldiers!
What’s even funnier is that the number of people killed by the Jinyiwei was not as many as the number of people they killed and trampled to death!
After glancing at the flag signals from the cavalry on the commanding heights, Xu Shan immediately gave the order!
"Don't chase the poor bandits!"
"Turn back quickly and regroup."
Judging from the flag signals sent by the flag soldiers, the old man Qiu Qianren had planted a lot of "nails" along the way while escorting Yan Peng to escape.
After all, this is Suzhou City, and they are alone in deep territory.
Once they are scattered, they are very likely to be eaten one by one by the Iron Palm Sect's men.
Besides, the goal that Xu Shan wanted to achieve today has been exceeded.
He originally wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkey and break the undefeated status of the Duke of Qing’s Mansion in Suzhou Prefecture.
Now, Duke Qing, Yan Peng, is leading the hasty escape.
Nothing could be more convincing than this, right?
Every street corner in West City was filled with garrisoned soldiers lying on the ground, wailing in pain!
The bloodthirsty scene made many people who wanted to escape but had nowhere to go stand still and dared not move!
Especially those shopkeepers who took advantage of the chaos and wanted to escape...
After the Jinyiwei turned back, he just took a look and rolled back to where he was, kneeling there with his head in his hands!
"Count!"
In the square in the center of West Market, the Jinyiwei who had quickly turned back to assemble responded in a loud voice at Xu Shan's command.
"One, two..."
"One hundred and thirty-seven!"
"report!"
"The team should have had 137 men, and the actual number was 137."
“No casualties!”
'Hiss.'
Wang Qinian's report was like a loud bell, deafening everyone present!
It would have been fine if a mere 137 men had slaughtered thousands of garrison troops, but with a force ratio of nearly 20 to 1, the Jinyiwei suffered zero casualties?
