Chapter 305: Xiakou City Break

"Nephew Sun, you really misunderstood. When did I harm your father? I haven't seen your father for a long time. I miss you so much, so how could I harm him?" Huang Zu saw Sun Ce insisting that he harmed Sun Jian, and thought to himself that there must be some misunderstandings, so he stood on the city gate tower and tried his best to explain.

However, the hatred of killing his father and the hatred of taking his wife cannot be explained clearly in a word. The more Huang Zu explained, the more he felt guilty, and Sun Ce was more convinced that he was the murderer, and his hatred became stronger.

"Siege the city!" Sun Ce raised a long spear in his hand and shouted loudly. He didn't want to listen to Huang Zu's nonsense anymore. For Sun Ce, the most important thing now is to cut off Huang Zu's head to pay tribute to his father's spirit in heaven.

"Ho, ho, ho..."

Five thousand soldiers of the Silver Fox Camp shouted the battle horn and pushed more than a dozen stone-throwing cars toward Xiakou City.

The catapult car used in land combat is one size smaller than the catapult car used in Ganning Water Army. There are two wooden wheels installed below. Not only can it be pulled by horses, but it can also be pushed by manpower for a short distance. Although the range is a little smaller, it is much more convenient than the large catapult car and is more suitable for land combat.

"Take Stone Car!" Huang Sho, standing at the top of the city, Chen Ju, Deng Long and the other two saw the Zhenxi Army pushing out catapults, and their faces changed drastically, with a frightened expression, and they couldn't help but scream.

They have seen the power of this thing. Their 40,000 naval troops were destroyed under this thing. Now they see them appearing under the city, how can they not panic?

"Sir, what are you calling!" Huang Zu glared at Huang She and the other two and shouted loudly. These three people were simply inadequate in success and had more than failure. Just their voices caused the morale of tens of thousands of defenders on the city to become unstable.

"My father, hurry up and go to the city wall! The weapon launched by the Zhenxi Army is called a catapult. It can fire oil bombs and has a very long range and can hit the city wall directly. The child's navy was hit by this weapon." Huang She said anxiously without caring about his father's scolding.

After hearing this, Huang Zu was slightly stunned. He looked at the four hundred steps below the city, which had been arranged in a row of catapults, and said unbelievably: "Can the pile of wooden racks beneath still hit the top of the city?"

Whether Huang Zu believes it or not, the facts are always true!

"Ga Beng Beng..." Just as Huang Zu was still lowering his eyebrows and pondering, the Western Army's catapulted car at the foot of the city had already launched an offensive. The thick and long throwing tips swung vigorously, and oil bombs and stone bombs roared towards the head of Xiakou City.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Although there were only dozens of catapults, the power caused was beyond thousands of troops. A stone bullet weighing about 30 pounds flew over from a distance at high speed and bombarded the city wall. It felt like it was not much different from an earthquake. It was really a tsunami, and the earth was shaking. The defenders on the city were shaken and shaking, and they were unable to stand firmly.

Although the oil bomb does not cause much damage to the city wall by the stone bomb, the oil bomb explodes and sheep oil splashes everywhere. Wherever it goes, whether it is a human body or the wall, flames will quickly rise whenever it is stuck with oil, and the coverage range is much larger than that of the stone bomb.

The stone bombs intersected with the oil bombs and kept falling between the dense defenders on the city. The sound of collision and explosions continued to be heard.

Some guards were smashed into a pile of meat sauce by stone bullets, while others were hit by oil bullets and burned. For a moment, the city was in chaos, and screamed miserably and shouted in fear, endlessly.

A round of stone bombs in Zhenxi Army was hit by oil bombs. The Xiakou defenders, who were just relatively strict on the city wall, were no longer in formation.

In fact, the direct casualties caused by a round of stone bombs and oil bombs to the soldiers guarding the city are no more serious than the rain of arrows. However, these stone bombs and oil bombs whistled in a huge momentum and were too scary, which put huge pressure on these soldiers guards.

In the face of unknown things, people are not only curious, but also more afraid. The catapult cart appeared in actual combat for the first time, and the Xiakou defenders could not think of any good solutions for the time being, and collapse was inevitable.

Facing the stone bombs and oil bombs falling from the sky, who else dares to stand on the top of the city and be beaten with flesh and blood!

"Escape!" Without anyone to order, the defenders on the city began to run down the city like desperately.

The defenders on the city were afraid that they would escape slowly and would be hit by stone bombs and oil bombs flying over. The steps were narrow and there were many guards. The city was suddenly crowded with people and pushed them together. Thousands of people squeezed on the steps that were several steps wide, and it became crowded with people. These people trampled on each other, and suffered heavy casualties, and many people were pushed down directly.

The casualties caused by the Xiakou guards due to their own chaos far exceeded all the stone bombs and oil bombs in the Zhenxi Army. In the thick smoke of flames, the crying, yelling and scolding at the city wall were mixed together, forming a bloody land.

At this moment, Huang Zu believed Huang She's words. The pile of wooden racks under the city were really powerful and could not be dealt with by his Jiangxia army. Originally, when he saw that there were only 30,000 Western troops outside the city, he still had a sense of luck. He had 40,000 defenders in the city, so he could not win, so defending the city should not be a problem.

Xiakou is the capital of Jiangxia County, with a high city and a high grain. It will be no problem to hold on for several months. At that time, Liu Biao should also receive news and send troops to rescue. The two armies attacked inside and outside, and the Zhenxi Army would retreat. But now, the Zhenxi Army's catapult has broken all Huang Zu's fantasies. He is already frozen and at a loss.

"Father, please withdraw! Stay green mountains here, don't be afraid of burning firewood!" Huang She looked at her father with an ugly face and comforted her.

"Retreat! Where can we withdraw now?" In an instant, Huang Zucang grew older and his voice was weak.

"Now it seems that Sun Jian of Changsha has surrendered to the Zhenxi Army, and the Jinfan thieves of Ganning have also surrendered to the Zhenxi Army. At present, we have only two ways to go, one is to surrender to the Zhenxi Army, and the other is to flee to Yuzhang. The prefect of Yuzhang has an old age with his father. If he fled to him, he should take his father in there."

At this time, Huang Xu, who had suffered a blow, calmed down and analyzed it in an orderly manner.

"You also want to surrender to the Zhenxi Army! But you also saw that the boy from the Sun family was nervous. He insisted that he had harmed his father for his father, just like his father died." Huang Zu sighed and said.

In the chaotic times, he didn't know how to choose a virtuous lord to serve him. But when he thought of Sun Ce's look of being cruel to cut off his eyes, Huang Zu shook his fear. Don't let himself be killed by Sun Ce's kid before he could surrender to the Western Army, and that would be a big loss.

"Since that's the case, let's run to Yuzhang!" Huang She's face was dim and she sighed.

Yesterday, the commander of the Jiangxia naval army was still a devastating dog. In one day, the changes were so great that he would not regret it!

"I have to do this! She'er, take people back to the mansion, bring all the valuable gold, silver and soft materials in the mansion, and then escape from the east gate." After pondering for a moment, Huang Zu had to accept this fact painfully.

"No!" Huang She replied, taking Chen Ju and the other generals Deng Long walked towards the prefect's mansion.

While Huang Zu ordered people to gather the remaining troops, he retreated to the east gate!

Not long after, Huang She brought thousands of soldiers and hundreds of cars full of property, and his family's car out of the east gate. He met Huang Zu several miles outside the east gate and fled to Yu Zhang together.

Not to mention how Grandpa Huang and his son escaped.

However, Sun Ce rode on the tall and majestic black horse. When he saw the Xiakou guards on the front of the city, he began to flee under the oil bomb. He raised his tiger-headed halberd in his hand and ordered loudly: "I will knock open the city gate!"

Dozens of catapults were still firing stone bullets and oil bombs. After receiving the order, the three thousand infantrymen carried a tree trunk thick with hugged and rushed towards the city gate. "Boom, boom, boom..." The tree trunk, which was thick with hugged and hit the city gate with the joint efforts of hundreds of people.

From a solid city gate with several inches of thick wooden boards and a layer of iron sheet outside, under the continuous impact of the Zhenxi Army, it finally couldn't stand the huge impact and opened with a "bang".

"The catapult car stopped firing, and two thousand iron cavalry followed me to kill!" Sun Ce was impatient, his eyes were filled with fire. After seeing the city gate break open, he ran towards the city gate with only two thousand iron cavalry.

"Major General!" Zu Mao and Han Dang were very anxious, and they rushed towards Sun Ce. Sun Jian's body was not cold, and Sun Ce did not care about his life at all and charged forward in everything, which made the two members of Sun Jian's old subordinates a little headache. They had to follow Sun Ce to prevent any accidents.

"Enter the city!" After Sun Ce, Zu Mao and Han Dang led two thousand cavalry into the city, Li Jue was afraid that Sun Ce would make a mistake and dared not neglect it. He also ordered the army to follow. Sun Jian is dead. If something happened to Sun Ce again, he would not be able to explain to his lord and Lu Bu.

Sun Ce, Zu Mao and Han Dang led two thousand cavalry into Xiakou City. At this time, Xiakou City was in chaos, and Xiakou defenders were everywhere. When these chaotic troops saw Sun Ce's army chasing, fleeing and scattering, more people simply surrendered, but no one chose to resist. Nearly 40,000 Xiakou defenders were scared by the catapult cart of Zhenxi Army and had no desire to fight.

When Sun Ce wanted to avenge his father, his target was naturally to Huang Zu, and he was disdainful of these fleeing soldiers. Two thousand iron cavalry chased him straight towards the prefect's mansion, but Sun Ce was still one step slower.

When Sun Ce led his army to arrive, the gate of the prefect of Jiangxia's prefect was already open. There were only some bold people who took advantage of the situation to fight for some property that Huang She had not had time to take away.

When Sun Ce saw this, he was furious. He pointed at a man who had snatched a bunch of property and shouted: "Tell me where Huang Zu is, otherwise he will die!"

"The prefect is heading towards the east gate!" The man saw that although Sun Ce was not old, his murderous aura made him feel scared. In order to save his life, he could no longer care about anything, so he quickly said.

"Zu Huang! Even if you escape to the sky, I will use your head to pay tribute to my father's spirit in heaven today!" Sun Ce roared and chased towards the east gate with two thousand iron cavalry.
