Although Huang Zu had a loud voice, shouted loudly, looked murderous, and had been lucky enough to kill outstanding generals such as Sun Jian and Xu Kun, in fact, he was just a weak chicken.

The most powerful army under Huang Zu is still the water division, if there is no water division, of course Huang Zu is nothing, in terms of army combat effectiveness, the Jingzhou army and Sun Wu's army are the same, and the difference between water warfare and land warfare is very obvious.

Water warfare is strong, land warfare is weak.

After Xu Huang received the order to send troops, he led the army to advance by land and water.

He led the army along the Yangtze River, starting from Xunyang and arriving at Qichun County, where he met the Jiangxia army near Qichun County, so he fought a battle with Huang Zu's son Huang Jie.

Huang Zu had always been on guard against the movements of the Wei army on the Lujiang side, and when he received the news of Xu Huang's abnormal movements, he immediately sent his son Huang Huang to lead troops in Qichun County to stop Xu Huang from advancing west along the river.

Huang Jie thought that Xu Huang was not famous and was easy to deal with, so he led 10,000 people from Qichun County and took the initiative to find Xu Huang for a decisive battle.

The two armies met near Qichun County, and Xu Huang took advantage of the Wei army's trebuchet to smash the yellow shots that tried to rely on the large building ships to form a formation.

Huang Shot's command level was very mediocre, and his backwardness in war intelligence was even worse.

In the face of the flying boulder, he had no choice, and he couldn't even convey the order to retreat, so he could only flee in embarrassment under the protection of his own soldiers.

After the First World War, the 10,000 troops of the Yellow Shot were defeated.

The commander of the navy, Chen, was shot and killed by the Wei army, the navy collapsed, the whole army was annihilated, and only more than 3,000 people of the army of more than 10,000 people fled with him and fled back to Qichun County, and the other troops were either killed and drowned, or captured as prisoners.

Xu Huang took advantage of the victory to pursue, and pursued to Qichun County in one breath, surrounded three missing one, and stormed Qichun County.

In the end, Huang Zhu really couldn't resist Xu Huang's sharp attack, so he had to flee to Xiling County, the capital of Jiangxia, and went to his father Huang Zu for help.

Huang Zu was shocked to learn that Huang Shot had failed miserably and that the army had suffered all losses.

He originally thought that it would be very simple to resist Xu Huang, but he never expected Xu Huang to be so able to fight.

Seeing that the capital of Jiangxia was about to suffer, Huang Zu hurriedly sent someone to Jiangling for help, and then arranged for a new army to go to Yixian to resist Xu Huang.

Huang Zu sent the general Zhang Shuo to lead his troops to resist on the way to Xu Huang's advance.

Zhang Shuo also worked very hard, but he was defeated by the elite of the Wei army, resisted and was defeated step by step, but he persevered for seven or eight days, buying a little time for Huang Zu's emergency mobilization.

Having said that, Zhang Shuo was still pushed all the way by Xu Huang to the city of Yixian, and fled into the city in embarrassment, defending the city.

He and the county magistrate of Yixian County are also their own members of the old Huang family, so they are more or less willing to use their lives instead of simply running away.

In the entire Jiangxia County, the Huang family is the largest.

Jiangxia County can basically be said to be the base camp of the Huang family, and it is the land that is reserved for itself, and this is the case after Huang Xiang came out of the Huang family.

Huang Zu inherited the ancestral business, entrenched in Jiangxia for many years, and also has a lot of diehards.

Zhang Shuo resisted desperately, inflicting a certain degree of damage on the Wei army, but unfortunately facing the Wei army's trebuchets was as futile as the brave siege.

After holding on for two days, the city was broken by Xu Huang.

The Wei army ant attached to the city, captured the city tower, opened the city gate, Xu Huang waved his troops in, and captured Yi County in one fell swoop.

After entering the city, after fierce street fighting, Xu Huang's subordinates successfully killed Zhang Shuo, the county commander and guard general of Yixian County, and exterminated their family and 13 families in the city who helped Huang Zu defend the city, and the number of people killed after the war exceeded 800, and the large families in the city were almost slaughtered.

After the loss of Yi County, there was no longer a barrier in Xiling County, and Huang Zu lost the last line of defense and had to face Xu Huang's attack.

What made Huang Zu feel annoyed and frightened was that none of the people he sent to Jiangling for help returned, but some merchants returned to Jiangxia from Xiangyang, bringing the news that Cai Mao had surrendered and Xiangyang had been lost.

Huang Zu was greatly frightened, and immediately sent people to inquire about the news in many ways, and finally determined that Xiangyang and Nanyang had been lost, Zhang Yun and Cai Mao surrendered, but there was no news from Jiangling.

The people he sent didn't come back, and it felt like Gangneung didn't exist.

Xiangyang was captured here, the Wei army entered Jingzhou, and Xu Huang invaded like fire, smashing Xiling, Huang Zu suddenly had a feeling that he was being attacked from both sides.

And what's even more terrifying is that he doesn't have any helpers, and the entire Jiangxia County seems to have been deliberately forgotten, and he is completely alone.

So far in the war, he has lost nearly 10,000 soldiers, seven out of ten naval warships, and almost half of his military strength has been lost, and he is not Xu Huang's opponent at all.

If this continues, Xiling County will change hands sooner or later.

Huang Zu has a deep understanding of this.

After deeply understanding such a situation, Huang Zu decided to save himself and not to defend Xiling, otherwise he would be taken down by Xu Huang sooner or later.

On the one hand, he dispatched troops to block Xu Huang, on the one hand, he actively arranged the defense of Xiling City, and on the other hand, he concentrated a few warships, loaded a large number of his guys, and prepared to run away at any time.

He's not a fool, if he really can't beat him, he can only go, and if he doesn't go in this case, he will die.

The tree is dead, and the person is alive, although he Huang Zu is relocated, it must be on the premise of being able to survive.

If you really can't beat it, you can really only drive a boat down the river to escape in the direction of Gangneung to see what is going on.

If Jiangling is no longer safe, then he can only flee to Jingnan.

All in all, he must not sit still, he knows that he who has always been famous for resisting Guo Wei will not be able to be forgiven, once defeated, his Huang clan will inevitably be slaughtered by Guo Peng, and the clan will be difficult to preserve.

Although Huang Zu worked very hard to keep his family business and the Huang family's ancestral business in Jiangxia, it was a pity that the land combat level of Jingzhou soldiers was really low.

Xu Huang often only ordered the ironclad cavalry to charge, and he could smash and tear the amateur military formation of the Jingzhou soldiers, and then the foot soldiers followed closely and crushed the Jiangxia soldiers.

Huang Zu didn't have no cavalry, he also had it, and he also sent cavalry to fight Xu Huang, but his cavalry was no match for the Wei cavalry at all, and he was wiped out by the Wei army by dividing five by two.

Losing the cavalry and losing the strongest mobility, the infantry sent by Huang Zu only ended in a rout.

Deng Long, the general he sent to block Xu Huang, was defeated again and again under Xu Huang's attack, how to fight and how to lose, in the face of the neat and offensive military formation of the Wei army, the military formation of the Jingzhou soldiers was the same as paper paste, and the two armies could not fight each other at all.

After his cavalry was destroyed, the infantry army also lost its way to retreat, and was directly cut off by Xu Huang and surrounded by the field and annihilated in one fell swoop.

Deng Long resisted to the end and was killed in battle, more than 600 of the 3,000 Jingzhou soldiers were killed, and all the others were captured.

After losing three generals and more than 10,000 troops one after another, the morale of Huang Zu's army completely collapsed, everyone was in danger, and they did not dare to continue fighting with the Wei army at all, and even the defense of Xiling City was shaken.

In desperation, Huang Zu asked Huang Zhu to prepare, planning to secretly leave Xiling County at night and escape by boat in order to survive.

But he never expected that several big war ships that Huang Zu used to load his family's most precious and valuable things actually caught fire.

I don't know why, these big ships full of family property docked on the secret dock, but the fire broke out, and it burned very violently, Huang Jie desperately led people to put out the fire, but the fire could not be extinguished at all, and Huang Jie could only watch the destruction of his ancestral industry.

After Huang Zu learned about it, he stayed for a while and muttered two words to himself.

Finished.
