Chapter 466: The Bloody Battle of Xiling Four
Xiling City at night, sleepless tonight.
The Governor's Mansion, a lavish and sprawling mansion, was filled with tension between the two armies, and the imminent battle was reversed in an instant.
Hundreds of giant bed crossbows suddenly changed from the direction of Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang and the others, to the direction of attack, all aimed at Huang Zu and the thousand guards around him.
"What's going on?"
The sharp arrows glowed with a cold glow, making Huang Zu fall into the ice cellar in an instant, cold to the bone marrow.
This scene caught him by surprise.
He raised his head and looked at Huang Hao, who was as calm as a man, and understood in his heart in an instant that this clan, which he trusted so much, had probably been rebelled by Zhuge Liang.
"What do you mean by that?"
Huang Zu's heart was filled with an incomprehensible resentment, raging with anger, angrily reprimanded, the long sword pointed directly at the generals, and said coldly: "Don't you want to rebel?" β
These 3,000 soldiers are one of the soldiers and horses he guards Xiling, and they are also the first-class elite soldiers under his command, but he didn't expect that he would directly turn around and attack him today.
"Master Hou, I'm sorry!"
All the soldiers looked at Huang Hao, and Huang Hao was expressionless, raised his head, glanced at Huang Zu, thought indifferently, and his soft voice sounded faintly.
"Xiao Hao, why?"
When Huang Zu heard this, the last glimmer of hope in his heart was extinct, his face was as dead as ashes, his eyes were wide open, and wisps of resentment filled his whole body, staring at him, a trusting clan.
Huang Hao is the son of one of his clan brothers, when he was stable in Jiangxia in the past, he fought many times, and that clan brother blocked a cold arrow for him and died. So he has always regarded Huang Hao as his son.
"Huang Hao, sue a certain family, why in the end?"
"Why betray the Huang family?"
Huang Zu roared a little madly.
He put Huang Hao by his side and became the leader of his own guards, guarding him because he had an unguarded trust in Huang Hao.
But he thought about it. I never imagined that Huang Hao would choose to betray him at this juncture and send him to Huangquan Road with his own hands.
"For the Jiangxia Huang clan!" Huang Hao groaned for a while, lowered his head and lowered his head, there was a trace of shame in his eyes, but his voice was not regretful, very firm.
"Hahaha!"
When Huang Zu heard this, he laughed angrily. Gritting his teeth, sneering, his eyes became gloomy, and he stared at Huang Hao with a cold gaze: "Jiangxia Huang's is from a certain family's Huang's, so-and-so, Huang's is here, what do you mean!" β
"Wrong! Jiangxia Huang's family has been passed down for more than 100 years. Passed down from generation to generation, you are not alone! β
Huang Hao heard this. Only then did he slowly raise his head, his eyes were clear, there was a touch of coldness, and he said loudly: "In the past, the Huang family was willing to fight for you, all because you were the pride of the Huang family and led the Huang family to glory. But in the past few years, you have been cruel and unkind, and you have paid harsh taxes, filling your own pockets, and causing disaster to Jiangxia. Connived at the children of the Huang family to plague the people of Jiangxia, so that the Huang family's century-old reputation in Jiangxia has been ruined, although Jiangxia is still controlled by the Huang family, but it is prosperous and declining, sooner or later, one day, the Huang family will be destroyed in your hands. β
This is the reason why Zhuge Liang was able to convince him to be forced into Huang Zu.
He Huang Hao is an ambitious person, and he has advised Huang Zu many times in the past to let him restrain his behavior and make him appear clearer, but it has no effect after all, and he has been admonished again and again, and in the end he is disappointed.
The appearance of Zhuge Liang represents the prestige of Huang Chengyan, he believes in Huang Chengyan, the spiritual pillar of the Jiangxia Huang family, so he also believes in Huang Chengyan's son-in-law Zhuge Liang.
"Nonsense!"
When Huang Zu heard this, his forehead couldn't help but throb with green tendons, his eyes were instantly bloodshot, he was a little angry, his face was pale, and a cold killing intent burst out of his eyes, staring at Zhuge Liang deadly: "Zhuge Kongming, you dare to sow discord, a certain family will definitely kill you, kill your nine clans!" β
He thought that Zhuge Liang must be sowing discord, and he had always been worried that Zhuge Liang would use Huang Chengyan's prestige to plot against the Huang family, so after Zhuge Liang arrived in Jiangxia, he had been guarding against him and not letting him contact the highly respected people of the Huang family, but he didn't expect the most worrying thing to happen.
"Huang Zu!"
Zhuge Liang took a step forward, raised the feather yarn in his hand, pointed at him, and said lightly: "Mencius said, there is a lot of help for the righteous, and there is little help for the unjust, you have lost the hearts of the people and the people, and you will definitely lose this battle!" β
"Joke!"
Huang Zu took a deep breath, his face began to become calmer, he had been on the battlefield for a long time, naturally he would not be such a person, the corners of his mouth outlined a trace of coldness: "Do you really think that you can deal with a certain family by buying a small Huang Hao?" β
"Huang Zu, don't be a bluff!" Zhuge Liang's eyes shrank slightly, and he said indifferently: "You have been defeated!" β
"Xiling is the land of a certain family!"
Huang Zu gritted his teeth, his eyes were cold, and a sentence burst out from between his teeth, saying, "You want to kill a certain family, wishful thinking!" β
"He's stalling for time, kill!"
When Zhuge Liang heard this, his heart moved slightly, and he looked at Huang Zu's expression deadly, a spiritual light flashed, and a touch of killing intent burst out in his eyes, and the feather fan waved and shouted.
"Kill!"
When Guan Yu heard this, he reacted quickly, and directly slashed out, the cold sword light slashed, several guards before Huang Zu were killed, and thousands of soldiers formed a military formation and kept retreating, not daring to face this terrifying fierce general.
"Shoot the arrows!" Huang Hao was not a hesitant person, he gritted his teeth and shouted directly at the soldiers and horses under his command, and the arrows of the ballista burst out one by one, and the strong impact penetrated the chests of the guards.
With a double attack, the thousands of guards around Huang Zu were killed nearly three hundred soldiers in an instant, and the rest of the soldiers formed a large circle army formation that overlapped together.
"Huang's sons, block for half an hour, and our reinforcements will inevitably come!" Huang Zu stood in the middle of the soldiers and drank violently.
"Protection!"
After several years of fighting, Huang Zu has accumulated a group of guards around him who are diehards, even the leader Huang Hao can't rebel against the diehards, one by one they block him, and block the arrows with his body as him!
Knock knock knock!
At this time, the beating of drums suddenly sounded. A burst of neat footsteps sounded, everyone was shocked, and a big man with 5,000 soldiers and horses suddenly killed.
"Damn, there's really a backhand!" Zhuge Liang's pupils changed slightly.
"Kill!"
The leading man came on horseback with a large knife in his hand. Killing left and right, the soldiers and horses under his command are all elite foot soldiers, murderous and awe-inspiring, a sharp front army formation, directly penetrating the encirclement from the outside.
"Chen is late for rescue, please punish Master Hou!"
The Han man had one person and one sword, and his martial arts were extraordinary, and he actually forcibly tore open an encirclement, and the five thousand Xiling elite soldiers under his command suddenly killed him. He immediately turned over and dismounted, and bowed to Huang Zu in front of him.
"Chen, no need to be polite, everyone here today is rebellious, and there is no forgiveness for killing!"
Huang Zu breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at everyone, his eyes suddenly became cold, and his voice was shy: "The traitor Huang Hao was captured by a certain family." If he wants to live, he can't die. β
Fortunately, he obeyed Su Fei's Jianyì. made more preparations for himself, and before the siege, he had already dispatched back the five thousand elite soldiers and horses guarding the city.
Chen is the son-in-law of the Huang family, and he is also his confidant, who has followed him for ten years, just like Su Fei. They are all his right-hand men, and the five thousand elites under his command are the elites of Xiling.
"What a Huang Zu, it really shouldn't be underestimated!" Zhuge Liang squinted slightly, his expression was still calm and calm, but there was a touch of coldness in his eyes.
Some are unexpected. Some of them make sense.
After all, Huang Zu has guarded Jiangxia for so many years, and he has run Xiling like an iron bucket, if he doesn't even have the slightest means, then it is a little too much.
"Huang Zu, with thousands of soldiers and horses, can you stop a certain family?"
Guan Yu doesn't care, for him, Huang Hao has 3,000 soldiers and horses against Chen and 5,000 soldiers and horses, plus his combat effectiveness, it is simply easy, and with such a ballista here, Huang Zu will still die.
"Really?"
Huang Zu sneered, shouted directly, and said, "Set fire!" β
This is a trick he is unwilling to use, but in the face of the fierce and incomparable Guan Yu, he has to use some means to find a trace of vitality and retreat.
"Set fire!" When Chen heard this, he let out a long roar, and the surroundings of the mansion suddenly burst into flames.
"It's tung oil!"
Zhuge Liang sniffed it, took a deep breath, and said: "Huang Zu's soldiers and horses have sprinkled tung oil around, wanting to make a plan with us to end up together, forcing us to retreat, and then get out of the way!" β
"Zhuge Kongming is really scheming!"
When Huang Zu heard this, his pupils suddenly contracted a little, and Zhuge Liang was also a little too demonic, just a moment of time, and he actually pierced his mind in one bite.
"Zhuge Liang, I gave you two choices today, either withdraw the troops, or we will die together!" Huang Zu took a deep breath, and his expression became firm.
"General Guan, this person can't be released!" Zhuge Liang shook his head, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said loudly: "Don't miss the opportunity and never come again, whether you can win Jiangxia in one fell swoop depends on whether you can kill him today!" β
"Don't worry!"
Guan Yu strode out, the Qinglong Glaive Knife in his hand was full of chill, and said loudly: "Guan Yun is here, how can he be allowed to escape!" β
"Do you want to perish together?" Huang Zu's face was a little pale, but in the face of Guan Yu's momentum, he couldn't help but take a step back, and obviously shouted with some inwardness.
"Jokes, just a fire, if you want to stop a certain family, you can't do it!" Guan Yu's voice was full of arrogance, one person and one knife, like a brute dragon, carrying a violent momentum, directly killing it.
Everywhere he went, there were people on their backs, corpses and broken arms.
"Kill!"
The hundreds of guards behind Guan Yu were the most elite soldiers and horses he had trained, following closely behind, condensed into a ball, like a sharp arrow, inserted into the ranks of Huang Zu.
"General Huang Hao, all the soldiers and horses retreat and withdraw from the mansion, don't be affected by this fire!" Zhuge Liang looked at the entire mansion that had turned into raging fire, and immediately said to Huang Hao.
This fire does play a role, if Guan Yu is not here, he really has to retreat, otherwise it will be the rhythm of the same end.
"What about General Guan?"
Huang Hao looked at the vast fire that had begun to spread around, and naturally wanted to retreat, but he looked at the brave Guan Yu in front of him and hesitated.
"General Guan is a first-class military general in the world, Huang Zu will die!"
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan in his hand, and his voice was full of confidence. (To be continued......)
