Chapter 419: Breaking the City with One Sword
It is said that the era of the two Jin Dynasty was the heyday of the power of the southern family.
The king and the horse, the world!
When the Taiyuan Wang clan reached a certain realm, the Jin family had to rely on the Taiyuan Wang clan when the Eastern Jin Dynasty moved south, so that they could barely control the situation and sit on the throne.
It's a pity that after more than 300 years of ups and downs in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the southern family that was not good at the beginning was also blown away by the rain and wind in the passage of time.
For example, the southern family of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, as well as the so-called Gaomen in the Jiupin Zhongzheng system period in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, are either completely finished or not as strong as before.
Of course, at this time, there were still many scholars and powerful people in the south, but at most one county or one county, which was much worse than their counterparts hundreds of years ago.
The fall of Nan Chen can be said to be directly related to the degeneration of the Southern Shi clan and Haoqiang.
In addition to Chen Shubao's own incompetence, the southern scholars are still living in the glory of the past and cannot extricate themselves, compared to the vitality of the northern family, the southern scholars have long been degenerate.
thought that the Nanchen Imperial Court would not be able to play without them, and then all kinds of deaths and confronted the Nanchen Imperial Court.
That is to say, several Chen lords have a good temperament, and most of the Han court are more tolerant and do not kill them, which makes the southern scholars more arrogant and unscrupulous.
It's a pity that Nan Chen was suddenly wiped out by the Sui Dynasty, and the Southern Shi clan still went their own way, and their reliance was nothing more than that if the Sui Dynasty wanted to completely control the south, it had to rely on their help.
The scholars in Wuhou's territory were also so arrogant, and Lei Hu was inconspicuous during the Chen Dynasty, although he performed well when Southern Chen fell, didn't he surrender to the Sui Dynasty in the end?
Therefore, the Taihu Lake area and the Haoqiang family of the Shi clan under the jurisdiction of Qiantang County did not take Lei Hu, the newly baked Wu Hou, to heart.
They also don't want to think about how strong it takes to be able to do it with the thriving national strength of the Great Sui at this time, and they are forced to let Lei Hu occupy an area and stand on his own?
If they are really good, why can't they fight for their own status and territory?
Some people and forces like to look at it according to their own ideas, and they don't even consider what the whole world or the general environment of the south is at this time, how it was in the past, and what it is still now, and even more arrogant and domineering.
There is also a reason for them to act like this, Lei Hu is an inexplicable Chen general, he is not from the southern scholar clan, and if he wants to govern Wu Houling well, he naturally has to be helped by the local scholar clan.
Otherwise, if they don't cooperate, Lei Hu wants to completely control the place, dream of it!
Among them, the most ferocious is the Shen family of Wujun, and now it should be said that it is the Shen family of Taihu Lake.
When Lei Hu led three thousand guards to inspect the Taihu Lake area, he encountered the clansmen of the Shen clan in Taihu Lake who directly asked for official power, and also put on a high-minded almsgiving.
"Wu Hou, it's not that I value this little power, but I want to help Wu Hou govern the place, and at the same time let the local people live a good life, so it's difficult to get out of the mountain!"
A so-called scholar who has been in high esteem for 30 years talks eloquently, and his face is full of pride as if others have to look up to him.
"What are you?"
When this rambling was over, Lei Hu spoke slowly, and said coldly without giving face at all: "First, there is no literary name, and second, there is no strong force to be around, why do you want Benhou Gao to take a look at it, and give it back to your high-ranking officials?" ”
"Wu Hou, what are you talking about?"
The guy was stunned for a moment, and then said with displeasure on his face: "Just because I am a member of the Shen clan, if Wu Hou doesn't give a satisfactory explanation, the Shen clan will not agree this time!" ”
"Oh, according to what you mean, the Shen family wants to rebel?"
Lei Hu narrowed his eyes and smiled, smiling unusually kindly without the slightest deterrent, and said leisurely: "Is this what you mean, or is it the common idea of the Shen clan?" ”
He directly qualitatively didn't want to deal with them one by one.
Sure enough, the Shen clan in front of him was not a smart character, and he didn't notice the dangerous aura implied in Lei Hu's words, so he held his head high and said coldly: "Is there a difference?" ”
Syllable!
He was greeted by a slap from Lei Hu in the air, which directly knocked him to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time, his face was at a loss for a while, and it took a long time before he reacted, showing a look of resentment and said angrily: "Wow, Wu Hou wants to go against the Shen family!" ”
"So what?"
Lei Hu chuckled indifferently and said coldly: "The Shen family doesn't want to get mixed up, and Ben Hou doesn't mind directly touching the Shen family from this world, do you really think that Lao Tzu won't kill people?" ”
After speaking, he waved his hand to summon the guards, directly blocked the mouth of this guy, and then took three thousand guards to directly surround the Taihu Shen clan's clansmen in the dock fort, and let the Shen clansmen panic and shrink into the dock fort to make a defensive posture.
"Wu Hou, what do you mean by this?"
Soon, the patriarch of the Shen clan appeared on the tower of Wubao, as well as several warriors with a strong breath, who were almost second-rate late or peak masters on the rivers and lakes, and could also be called the acquired peak powerhouses.
This kind of force is not bad among the southern warriors whose strength has been greatly damaged, after all, although this world is rich in heaven and earth, and innate masters are endless, it is not a cabbage that can be seen everywhere.
The Shen family not only has three good players whose strength has reached the peak of the late stage of the day after tomorrow, but also has a team of people with acceptable training and excellent armor.
Conventional weapons such as knives, guns, swords, halberds, etc., are just one in hand, and there are even defensive weapons such as bows and crossbows on the city tower, which is not something that ordinary warriors should have.
Seeing the dozens of bows and crossbows that appeared on the city tower, Lei Hu squinted at the new killing intent, and he didn't think about completely uprooting the Shen clan, but now he changed his mind.
"It's not interesting!"
With a chuckle, Lei Hu pointed to the Shen clan people who were pushed to the forefront, and said leisurely: "The Shen clan people are so bold, not only do they come to the door to ask for officials and power, but they also keep saying bluntly that they will rebel if they don't give it, and tell me, the newly mixed Wu Hou, to weigh it carefully!" ”
The voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of the thousands of people present, and everyone's eyes brushed at the Shen clan who was gagged, and the three thousand guards under Lei Hu showed disdain one by one, as for the Shen clan people on the city tower, many of them showed deep disdain.
Lei Hu sees it now, but his heart is not happy!
Since the Shen clan has such an attitude, then don't blame him for being ruthless and not showing mercy to the so-called warriors.
"Wu Hou, don't go too far!"
The patriarch of the Shen clan on the upper floor of Wubao City did not have the slightest look of worry and fear, but just glanced at the clansman who was gagged, and said coldly: "My Shen clan is not easy to bully!" ”
Yes, he actually took the charge of Lei Hu's hard mouth, which is really confident.
"Then there's nothing to say, kill!"
Lei Hu opened his mouth indifferently, and without saying a word, the guards of the Shen clan who were talking nonsense didn't say a word, and a good head rose to the sky, and the pillar of blood gushing out of his neck was scattered far away.
The sound of the whining desolate horn sounded suddenly, the rumbling war drums resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the three thousand guards were full of evil qi and condensed as one, like a dark cloud covering the top of the dock fort of the Shen family.
"It's not good, Wu Hou is so daring!"
The face of the patriarch of the Shen clan changed greatly, how could he not expect Lei Hu to be so strong and domineering, without saying a word, he would directly wave the army and fight, his heart was furious and murderous, his eyes were cold and angry, and he shouted: "Give me a good fight, you must let these guys know how powerful our Shen family is!" ”
Not only did the patriarch of the Shen clan not have the slightest fear, but the people of the Shen clan on the city tower were all eager to try, and obviously they didn't pay much attention to the guards of Wu Hou who were besieging below.
Even the second-rate masters of the Shen family were furious and murderous, eager to kill Lei Hu, the Marquis of Wu, as soon as possible.
They didn't take the rumors about Lei Hu to heart at all, they only thought that these rumors were too exaggerated, Sui Jun wanted to cover up his own incompetence, so he made Lei Hu, a previously unknown Chen general, suddenly reach the height of a famous general, and it is not credible at all.
If Thunder Tiger dared to rush forward, they wouldn't mind stepping on Thunder Tiger's corpse to make a name for themselves!
Woohoo......
The first to strike was the archers among Lei Hu's personal guards, only to see a rain of arrows rising into the sky, instantly covering the not tall Shen Clan Castle Tower.
Ahhh
"Quickly dodge, don't worry, these guys don't have siege equipment in their hands, so they can't do anything about us!"
It was still the patriarch of the Shen clan who had experience, and he didn't know when he was holding a skin round shield in his hand, and he moved up and down to stop all the flying arrows, showing a good hand of martial arts, and at the same time loudly comforting the frightened people of the city guarding the city.
As for letting the people defending the city shoot back, he didn't have a bad brain to act like this, so he relied on the dozens of bows and crossbows of uneven quality in the hands of the clansmen, and wanted to shoot at the Wuhou guards under the city, didn't the clansmen die fast enough?
"Hehe, don't you really have siege equipment?"
It's just that the next moment, Lei Hu's leisurely voice clearly came into his ears, making the Shen clan patriarch's face change wildly and his heart beat wildly, Lei Hu can not only distinguish what he said in the noisy and chaotic voice, but his strength is definitely more powerful than the strongest among the Shen clan.
But the next scene made him stunned like falling into an ice cave, full of despair and almost scared to pee.
I saw Lei Hu rushing forward on his horse, galloping to a distance of fifty steps from Wubao Chenglou, and suddenly rising into the sky and instantly crossing more than thirty zhang of space, as if he could really fly into the sky.
And what is even more amazing is that Lei Hu's body is higher than the Wubao City Tower in mid-air, and suddenly he slashed down with a volley, and a knife force that is almost visible to the naked eye several zhang roared out, like a mountain god axe, directly slashed on the solid Wubao City Tower, and his feet shook the sky for a while, and his ears were instantly deaf, and the Wubao City Tower was instantly split into two!
