Chapter 272: Surrender cannot stop Sun Ce’s murderous intention?
The sky was turning pale, and because Huang Zu ordered the city gates to be closed, Xiakou City was quiet, but soldiers were patrolling back and forth on the city walls, cautiously.
The reason for all this was naturally because Sun Jian led his troops to fight against Ye Feng. Although he was cooperating with Liu Biao, Cao Cao and others to fight against Ye Feng, Huang Zu did not believe it, and his original plan to rush to Xiangyang City was completely disrupted.
Outside the city, inside Sun Jian’s camp.
Sun Jian, who was awakened early, looked at the news just coming from Xiangyang and fell into deep thought.
After a while, Youyou sighed and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao were right about everything."
"The one who laughs the last in Xiangyang City is indeed Ye Feng."
"Even Liu Biao, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao have surrendered to Ye Feng."
Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others beside him sighed: "These people are all heroes, but I didn't expect them to be caught in one fell swoop."
"How did Ye Feng do it?"
Sun Jian told the whole story in detail, and after hearing it, everyone showed shock in their eyes.
"My lord, we must move quickly. We must take Xiakou City first."
Sun Jian nodded: "Blow the horn of attack, we can't wait any longer."
"woooooo"
The attack horn sounded.
The guards on the city wall quickly became alert.
Huang Zu even stood directly on the tower, looking at Sun Jian who was lining up in the distance, his eyes full of anger: "Sun Jian, we have no grudges in the past, and no hatred today, why are you attacking Jiangxia?"
"Aren't you afraid that the governor will come with his troops and completely destroy you?"
"With the three counties you just occupied, I'm afraid you can't stop the governor's wrath, right?"
Sun Jian laughed: "Xiangyang City has long since changed hands, and Xiakou is now an isolated city."
"Huang Zu, if you know what's best for you, kneel down and beg for mercy, maybe I can let you go."
"But if you continue to resist, you will die."
Huang Zu looked suspicious and said, "Don't bluff me. If something happened in Xiangyang City, why didn't I receive any news?"
"How come you are more informed than I am?"
Sun Jian was already impatient. His previous words of persuasion to surrender were just formalities to undermine the morale of his soldiers. In fact, he had been planning for many days and was about to capture Xiakou.
Only in this way can his ability be demonstrated.
"Tap Tap"
The sound of orderly footsteps was heard, followed by tens of thousands of troops charging directly towards the city wall.
Huang Zu's face was gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "Archers, prepare to shoot."
"whoosh whoosh"
Arrows rained down like raindrops, many people fell to the ground after being shot, and more people continued to rush forward.
Soon the offensive and defensive battle began.
"kill!!"
The elite soldiers under Sun Jian's command charged forward fearlessly. Even when the men in front fell to the ground, they still climbed up with their shields.
In just half an hour, more than ten sections of the city wall had been breached.
Huang Zu's face was gloomy. He drew the sword from his waist and stepped forward himself.
With him leading by example, the fighting effectiveness of the defenders increased exponentially, and the breached city walls began to be recaptured.
But at this moment Huang Zu didn't know that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, who had already mixed in near the city gate, were already prepared.
Looking at the hundreds of cavalrymen in front of him, Sun Ce raised the spear in his hand and said, "Brothers, today is the time for us to make achievements. Open the city gates and everyone will get rewards and official titles."
"Follow me as I charge toward the city gate."
"rush!!"
Sun Ce rode forward and charged first.
Getting closer and closer, the guards near the city gate also noticed Sun Ce's more than a hundred cavalrymen approaching, and their faces changed drastically: "There are enemies in the city, shield soldiers, spearmen, and they are at the front."
“Kill!!” “Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”
As a rain of arrows flew over, Sun Ce smiled contemptuously and swept out with the spear in his hand.
A spear light condensed from a strong force directly knocked away the arrow flying from a distance. Then the spear light did not completely dissipate, but continued to spread outwards.
More than a dozen guards felt a breath of death enveloping their bodies, and subconsciously protected their weapons in front of their chests.
"boom!!"
There was a loud clashing sound, and weapons flew out like wings with broken strings.
His body was hit hard by the powerful force and all his internal organs were destroyed.
"Pfft."
He spat out a mouthful of blood, which drew a graceful arc in the air and flew several feet away.
"How can this be?"
Hundreds of guards had dazed looks in their eyes; they couldn't even believe their own eyes.
He killed dozens of people in one move. They even secretly suspected that if they were also in this range, they would definitely die.
Fear rose in the minds of every ordinary soldier. Faced with this war that had no chance of winning, they were also afraid of death.
Sun Ce waved his spear again, taking away several guards, his eyes filled with cold murderous intent: "You still want to resist? Do you really think that I, the Little Overlord of Jiangdong, will show mercy?"
"From now on, anyone holding a weapon will die."
"kill!!"
More than a hundred cavalrymen behind him charged together, and in just a cup of tea, the city gate was littered with corpses.
"Gongjin, open the city gate first."
Sun Ce shouted loudly.
Zhou Yu was naturally aware of the importance of the city gate, so he dismounted and opened the city gate with more than 20 soldiers.
On the city wall, the fighting continued.
Huang Zu soon noticed the unusual movement of the city gate. Thinking of what Sun Jian had just said, he felt fear from the bottom of his heart.
If Xiangyang City really falls into Ye Feng's hands, no one in the world can stop him.
What’s the point of him resisting in Xiakou?
It would be better to surrender directly, perhaps you can still keep your wealth and glory.
Thinking of this, Huang Zu went directly to the city gate, looked at Sun Ce who only had more than a hundred people, and said coldly: "Sun Jian is cruel enough to let his son take risks."
"You know I can kill you with just one order."
Sun Ce laughed heartily: "The city gate is already open. It will only take a cup of tea for someone to cross the moat and rush in. By then, you will have no chance of survival."
"Soldiers, don't be afraid, our reinforcements will be here soon."
Sun Ce had no intention of persuading Huang Zu to surrender, which made it difficult for him to back down.
He frowned slightly and waved his hand: "All troops, listen to my order, surround and kill Sun Ce, and take back the city gate."
Sun Ce's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent. He looked at Huang Zu in the crowd and said coldly: "Tiger Roar and Dragon Roar!!"
"Take my shot!!"
Sun Ce jumped up and pointed the spear in his hand at Huang Zu from a distance of several dozen feet.
The figure of a ferocious tiger appeared, mixed with terrifying energy, and flew towards Huang Zu through the crowd of people.
Huang Zu's face changed drastically. He knew he had underestimated Sun Ce and felt the threat of death. He shouted loudly, "No, I want to surrender."
Sun Ce was stunned and was about to consider retracting his ultimate move when Zhou Yu, who was standing at the city gate, said coldly, "The world will be at peace soon. Your contribution is not great. If you miss it, you may not have another chance."
"Bo Fu, don't hold back."
A cold light flashed in Sun Ce's eyes, and he said coldly: "It's too late!"
"Look at the gun!!"
