Chapter 457: Jiang Xia took it
Huang Zhong saw that Wei Yan, Zang Ba and others had led their soldiers to attack Xiling City, and even saw that in Xiling City, a large number of people with weapons poured out of many high-walled and thick courtyards, and began to fight with the Jiangdong soldiers who Sun Ce stayed in Xiling City to maintain order.
At this time, the Gang Qi in Huang Zhong's body also recovered a lot, and he immediately drove the Golden Crystal Beast to fall and returned to Yuan Yao's side.
As soon as Huang Zhong arrived beside him, Yuan Yao greeted him and said, "General Huang has worked hard. ”
Huang Zhong shook his head and said, "Gongzi is serious, this is what Huang Zhong should do." ”
At this moment, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua and others had already occupied the gap in the city wall that Huang Zhong had made with all his might, and listening to the shouts and kills coming from the city, Yuan Yao's side in Xiling City could be said to have a complete advantage, and Yuan Yao was not surprised by this.
Sun Jian only had a few thousand men in his hands, and he was an army of more than 20,000 and nearly 30,000, and Xiang Lang also contacted the major families in Xiling City to make them difficult at a critical moment. Under the influence of such several factors, if he can't take a Xiling City, then Yuan Yao can only say that the destiny of heaven is not on my side.
Traveling all the way to the gap in the city wall that was cut open by Huang Zhong's move, feeling the warm air coming from both sides of the gap in the city wall, Yuan Yao glanced at Huang Zhong, but found that Huang Zhong's face was unwavering, as if such an amazing move was not caused by him.
After entering Xiling City, the first to greet Yuan Yao was not Wei Yan, Zang Ba and others under Yuan Yao's command, but a group of families in Xiling City, for these families Yuan Yao did not want to greet them, Xiling City is only the county of Jiangxia County, and there are not many families that Yuan Yao needs to pay attention to and needs to be cautious here.
And Yuan Yao also knew very well what these families were thinking, it was nothing more than wanting to get their own understanding and forgiveness when Xiling City was now changing hands, and then not liquidate them. Therefore, Yuan Yao did not personally meet with these families, but asked Xiang Lang to deal with it, the reason why Yuan Yao brought Xiang Lang was to let Xiang Lang deal with the major families in Jiangxia County, so that these families could facilitate Yuan Yao's actions, and now it is time for Xiang Lang to play a role.
As for Yuan Yao, he had more important things to do.
After taking Xiling City, Yuan Yao did not find any trace of Sun Ce, it turned out that Sun Ce led thousands of remnants of the Jiangdong Army from the other direction of Xiling City to flee after discovering that the situation was not good, and at that time, Huang Zhong temporarily fell into a weak state due to the "Seven Days of Lingtian" that smashed the walls of Xiling City with all his strength. The strength of the others was a little weak, so they couldn't stop Huang Zhong.
Ordered Xiang Lang to communicate with several major families in Xiling City, and stayed in Xiling City to sit in the town, after the list of Anmin, Yuan Yao left a little soldiers and horses for Xiang Lang, and he led 20,000 Yuan Shu's soldiers to attack, and pursued all the way along the route of Sun Ce's escape.
Yuan Yao actually still has hundreds of cavalry under his command now, but Jiangxia is either a mountain or a water, and the cavalry can't play its due combat power at all, and even in some special terrain, the speed of the cavalry is not as strong as the infantry, so Yuan Yaokong has hundreds of cavalry, but he has not been able to play a big role.
However, Sun Ce was the one fleeing for his life after all, and Yuan Yao belonged to the pursuit along the road, Yuan Yao was faster than Sun Ce in terms of speed, and there were several small-scale contacts between the two sides after that, but Yuan Yao was never able to catch Sun Ce. Even Huang Zhong rode the Golden Crystal Beast to search after his strength was restored, but he failed to find Sun Ce.
After a few days of pursuit, Yuan Yao found that they had arrived at the border of Exian County, and at this time, Sun Ce had already entered the county seat of Exian with thousands of remnants and joined Zhou Yu.
The county seat of Exian County was built near the river, and Zhou Yu blocked the waterway with the Jiangdong Naval Army, although there were many top powerhouses on Yuan Yao's side, but Zhou Yu had been using the advantages of the city to resist the attack of Yuan Yao's naval army, so he had not been able to take the county seat of Exian County.
After Sun Ce entered Exian to join Zhou Yu, Yuan Yao also temporarily gave up the pursuit, and instead joined his own naval army first, and then the infantry and naval army combined with more than 30,000 troops surrounded the county seat of Exian County. After that, Yuan Yao did not do any tentative attacks, and directly discovered a fierce attack on Exian County, and in addition to himself, Liu Ye and Li Ye, several other powerhouses in the Condensation Realm, including Huang Zhong, also took action one after another, causing great pressure on the Jiangdong Army in the county seat of Exian County.
Although Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in the county seat of Exian County are also masters of the Condensation Gang Realm and the Void Soul Realm, one has the immortal overlord gun in his hand, and the other has two holy weapons of the Green Qiqin and the Bronze Flying Horse Car, but the two fists are difficult to defeat the four hands, even if the enemies they face are Yuan Yao, Liu Ye and Li Ye do not make a move, there are also Huang Zhong, Wen Ping, Pan Feng, Yu She, Wei Yan, Zang Ba, the six powerhouses of the Condensation Gang Realm, among which Huang Zhong is the top powerhouse at the peak of the Condensation Gang Realm, If it weren't for Sun Ce and Zhou Yu relying on the geographical advantages of the county seat of Exian County and the courage of Jiangdong Erlang under their command to resist desperately, the county seat of Exian County would have been breached long ago.
However, after Yuan Yao made up his mind to ignore the casualties, even if Sun Ce and Zhou Yu worked together, they couldn't hold on to Exian for long, after all, the county seat of Exian County was not a strong city, and it was finally taken down by Yuan Yao. However, although Exian County was taken, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu still fled.
Although Yuan Yao was ready to besiege Sun Ce and Zhou Yu when he attacked the county seat of Exian County, he did not expect that Zhou Yu finally used a trick to hide the sky and the sea, and let several dead soldiers pretend to be him and Sun Ce, and concealed Yuan Yao and others on the chaotic battlefield, and when Yuan Yao and others found out that the Sun Ce and Zhou Yu they besieged were impostors, the real Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had already escaped from the county seat of Exian with thousands of remnants of the Jiangdong Army.
For Yuan Yao, it can only be said that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have deep luck, otherwise such a near-death situation has allowed these two people to escape, and it can only be said that the two of them should not die here.
However, fortunately, after Sun Ce and Zhou Yu escaped from Exian County, they did not continue to stay in Jiangxia County, but retreated to Chaisang, and gathered Jiangdong troops in Chaisang to prepare to resist Yuan Yao's attack. And Yuan Yao did not rush to attack after taking Jiangxia completely, but asked Hu Zhao and Xun Yan, who were in charge of logistics, to speed up the transportation of a large amount of grain and grass to Jiangxia, and at the same time asked Xiang Lang to quickly rectify the affairs of Jiangxia County, Yuan Yao did not want chaos in Jiangxia County that he had just taken.
And when Yuan Yao would march into Jiangdong at any time, the battle between Yuan Shu and Sun Jian also had a result.
