Chapter 512 The Walking Dead, Jiangxia County Falls
"Damn it Sun Jian! I fucked eight generations of your ancestors!"
A young man yelled that he was also a member of the Huang family in Jiangxia. According to backup, he was Huang Zhong's nephew. He should be called Huang Zhong's uncle. He was the son of Huang Zu's niece. He was also furious at this moment.
Huang Zhong slowly opened his eight-treasure unicorn bow, attached an arrow, and aimed at Huang Zu's body. As Huang Zhong loosened his hand on the string, an arrow flew out of the air and aimed towards Huang Zu's body. He quickly flew away with Huang Zu's body.
The next moment, a sound louder than the other explosions sounded, and Huang Zu's headless body fell to the ground.
There were two lines of tears on Huang Zhong's face. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of Huang Zu's body.
"Uncle, my nephew is incompetent! I'm afraid I won't be able to avenge you personally, but it's okay, the lord will definitely avenge us both."
With that said, Huang Zhong kowtowed three times to the corpse, then stood up, and while turning on his horse, his sleeves and robe touched his face, bringing away the two lines of tears on it.
"Be careful not to touch any corpses, and try not to let them come within two hundred steps. These corpses are likely to contain highly toxic substances."
Huang Zhong reminded in a deep voice that within a few seconds of getting on his horse, he had already adjusted his emotions and was no longer affected by other things. He is now the only backbone. If he can't stay rational, then the three of them will Twelve hundred people will be destroyed in an instant.
There is no way to survive if they stay here. They can die, but they must not die anonymously, let alone worthless.
After receiving Huang Zhong's reminder, the others no longer tried to attack, but crazily drew their bows and arrows, and began to shoot the strange corpses crazily.
After the corpses fell to the ground, something seemed to be flowing on the ground, flowing toward them along the street, but nothing could be seen with the naked eye.
Huang Zhong looked around. He didn't know why, but even though he controlled the corpses a hundred steps away, he still felt uneasy.
"Don't worry about these things anymore. There is a back door to the governor's mansion. Go through the back door and go to the east wall. Guard the wall!"
Huang Zhong yelled at everyone, and at the same time he set an arrow, but it was not aimed at the corpses, but was released towards the sky.
The arrow has been flying high into the sky carrying a bright blue light. The dazzling blue light is like a rising star in the sky.
The soldiers who had walked out of Jiangxia County were silent after seeing this scene, because this was an agreement between them and Huang Zhong. Once there was danger in the city, Huang Zhong would release such arrows to remind them.
"Brothers! Follow me and fight to Sun Jian's lair!"
Wei Yan gritted his teeth and was unwilling to watch that scene again, because he knew very well that whoever stayed in Jiangxia would definitely die!
He did not stop any longer, bypassing Sun Jian's army in the north, from Changsha to Yuzhang, and then rushed straight to Wujun in Yangzhou. Xu Rong, who had the same purpose as Wei Yan, was five miles north of Wei Yan. Two teams of ten thousand cavalry were like two They move forward like two parallel lines without being too far away from each other. They maintain contact with each other at any time, just like two cheetahs working together to kill Wu Jun.
The Gu girl who manipulated the corpse soon discovered something was wrong, because there were too few people in the city. There were only some people in front of the prefect's mansion, and the others seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
After searching Jiangxia County, they finally determined that only the thousands of people from the Prefect's Mansion were left in Jiangxia City, and those thousands of people were now moving to the only intact city wall to the east.
The leading Gu girl immediately broke off her control over the body and reported to Miao Moqing.
At this moment, Miao Moqing was reporting the battle situation to Sun Jian in Sun Jian's tent. When Sun Jian heard that Huang Zu's body had also been found and had been controlled, Sun Jian couldn't help but look up to the sky and scream.
"Hahaha, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Xu Rong are all going to live. I want to take them under my command. After this battle, who else in the world will be my opponent?"
"They have strong physiques. This kind of secondary poison will only poison them and affect their combat power. It will not kill them."
"Okay, okay, great!"
Sun Jian raised his head and drank from the teacup in front of him.
"Clan leader, thank you for your hard work. When the war is over, I promise that I will definitely give your Gu clan a place to live in the sun, and let it become your private land without anyone's control!"
"Thank you so much, lord."
Miao Moqing smiled sweetly, her beautiful face and sweet smile made Sun Jian's legs a little weak, but Sun Jian understood that the peerless beauty in front of him was not a flower to be exploited, but a full-grown girl. A rose with a poisonous thorn will be stung by her accidentally. Therefore, although Sun Jian has a lustful heart, he has no lustful courage.
Just when Sun Jian wanted to ask Miao Moqing to retreat, he saw Miao Moqing's face change, and a bad thought came into Sun Jian's heart. Although he didn't know why, but just for a moment, his right eyelid He started to jump wildly. This situation made him extremely nervous as a person who traveled from modern times and firmly believed that the left eye would lead to wealth and the right eye would lead to disaster.
"What's wrong?"
Sun Jianqiang suppressed the strangeness in his heart and asked calmly.
Miao Moqing's complexion also recovered a little. After thinking about it for a while, Miao Moqing decided to tell something that was not good news first.
"Lord, Huang Zu's body has been destroyed by Huang Zhong himself."
"That's it?"
Sun Jian looked puzzled. What was the point of making a fuss about such a thing? It would not make Miao Moqing lose face, so Sun Jian immediately guessed that Miao Moqing had other things to do.
As expected, Miao Moqing spoke again.
"There are only a few thousand people left in Jiangxia County, including Huang Zhong. The others have disappeared. They controlled the bodies and walked all over the city but couldn't find them."
As soon as the voice fell, Sun Jian picked up the teacup in front of him and smashed it on the ground. He felt that it was not enough, so he simply overturned the desk.
The soldiers guarding outside the tent heard the noise inside and rushed in immediately, fearing that something might happen to Sun Jian. As soon as they entered the big tent, they were scolded by Sun Jian and then driven out.
Only Sun Jian and Miao Moqing were left in the tent, but the two people now were completely different from the two people a hundred breaths ago.
Sun Jian gritted his teeth tightly.
"Clan leader, didn't you say that you surrounded the city as soon as I gave the order? How could they disappear out of thin air?"
"My lord, there was more than half an hour of free time after we retreated until the order was given. They were likely to move during this time."
Miao Moqing was nervous, but still remained neither humble nor arrogant.
Sun Jian stared at Miao Moqing with a grim look, then waved his hand.
"Clan leader, I lost my composure just now."
"It's okay, my lord."
Miao Moqing also took the opportunity to get off the ground and said nothing more.
Sun Jian sat dejectedly on the chair. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to recruit Zhao Yun and several other generals to his command, so that his command would be stronger again, while at the same time effectively eliminating Liu Bei's new forces.
Another battlefield in Jingzhou, Nanjun, was where Cao Cao and Liu Bei fought. Since Ma Chao, Zhang He, Taishi Ci and other generals were not in Jiangxia, there was no doubt that they were in Cao Cao.
That is to say, no matter who wins or loses in the Nanjun battlefield, both sides will suffer heavy losses. This is Sun Jian's plan, but he never expected that Zhao Yun and his men would choose to retreat immediately after the battle without any stop. This made Sun Jian doubt whether there was a spy.
However, only he and Miao Moqing, as well as the 100 Gu women who were responsible for the plan, knew about this. Gu women and Miao Moqing definitely had no chance to contact Liu Bei. They were definitely not Liu Bei's people. It couldn't be that Sun Jian betrayed himself.
In fact, what Sun Jian didn't know was that the reason that puzzled him was just Huang Zhong's self-sacrifice. In order to help Liu Bei defend Jingzhou and prevent the eastern part of Jingzhou from falling, Huang Zhong came up with this method and used his death to exchange for the current situation.
It was precisely because of Huang Zhong's move that the lives of tens of thousands of people were saved, and Sun Jian, who thought he was smart, was pulled down from the high platform into the abyss!
"Capture Huang Zhong alive!"
Sun Jian slammed the table.
Miao Moqing saluted him and turned away.
On the wall of Jiangxia County, three thousand archers have firmly occupied the top of the city. The slow-moving corpses carrying corpse poison were shot in the head by the archers on the wall when they were still far away from the wall, and they could not get close to the wall at all.
The reason why Huang Zhong brought them to the wall was that he was afraid that these corpses had corpse poison similar to that of the Gu woman before, so he took them to the wall to occupy the commanding heights.
Moreover, archers would have more advantages in attacking from a high place. Huang Zhong stood in the center of the wall, stepped on the battlement, and looked up at the corpses swarming in. They certainly couldn't sit and wait for death on the wall, otherwise it would be a matter of time before they were surrounded by these corpses.
Even if these corpses couldn't get on the wall, they could surround the wall. As long as some of them went down, they might be infected with the strange and unpredictable poison. Huang Zhong had witnessed the violent effect of the poison with his own eyes. The flesh began to turn into bones at the moment of infection, and finally even the bones were melted.
So once they were surrounded, they would die anyway.
"Xiao Liuzi!"
Huang Zhong shouted, and one of the Baiyu Light Cavalry rushed over. Two hundred Baiyu Light Cavalry were riding on the city wall at the moment. They would support wherever they were needed. Hearing Huang Zhong's shout, the deputy general of the Baiyu Light Cavalry, that is, the main general besides Huang Zhong, rode over on horseback.
"General, what's wrong?"
"Are you afraid of death?"
Huang Zhong patted the head of the man named Xiao Liuzi, and Xiao Liuzi shook his head fiercely.
"Afraid, I was afraid before, but I'm not afraid now. Since the day I followed the general, I'm not afraid of death."
Xiao Liuzi smiled brightly, and it can be seen from his young face that Xiao Liuzi is at most just the age of coming of age.
"Okay, if you are not afraid of death, then I will give you a mission with a life-or-death experience."
"General, you say."
Huang Zhong did not answer Xiao Liuzi, but shouted again.
"All those under 24, come here. The older ones can't do this job, so you youngsters should do it!"
When Huang Zhong said this, people on the wall began to gather. Soon, more than 40 young men came to Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong looked at these young men with a smile on his face, just like looking at his juniors.
"Very good, you are all great."
Huang Zhong said, pulling out the Red Blood Knife from behind him and handed it to the leader, Xiao Liuzi.
Xiao Liuzi looked confused and did not reach out to take the knife. Instead, he stared blankly at Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong wrapped the scarlet blood knife in a cloth and gave it to Xiao Liuzi. Then he touched Xiao Liuzi's bald head.
"Send this knife to Qingzhou."
Xiao Liuzi instantly understood why Huang Zhong had summoned them, because Huang Zhong didn't want them, young soldiers, to die here.
"No, I'm not going."
Before Xiao Liuzi could finish his words, he was slapped by Huang Zhong and couldn't speak anymore. Huang Zhong pretended to be angry.
"You are not a general yet, why don't you try to antagonize me here! When will you become a general and try to antagonize me!"
"Also, even if you are the general and the commander-in-chief, you are still my soldier when you ride on the horse. You still have to listen to what I say!"
Huang Zhong didn't give Xiao Liuzi a chance to refuse.
"Everyone, go away. Remember, don't touch this knife directly. You can only use this knife when you are in a desperate situation."
Xiao Liuzi's face was filled with tears and he nodded stubbornly.
More than forty people all mounted their horses and ran toward the north of the city, which was not yet surrounded by corpses. Huang Zhong looked at the group of people leaving, and finally felt some compensation for the guilt in his heart.
"Everyone, I can keep these children alive, but you have to die here with me."
There was a hint of self-mockery in Huang Zhong's voice. After a brief silence, someone spoke up.
"Old general, we are not the ones who are afraid of death."
"That's right, it's just a pity that there is no girl to die with you guys."
"You still dislike us. It's better if we don't dislike you. You damn feet don't wash your feet every day. That smell, oh, what girl can stand you?"
The archers laughed and cursed, but did not stop. Soon, the number of arrows was running low, but the slow-moving corpses seemed to be endless, still approaching them.
The arrows were gone, so they could only draw the daggers from their waists and attack closely. However, as soon as they got close to the corpses, they suddenly felt difficulty breathing, and then fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
Seeing this scene, the last trace of luck in Huang Zhong's heart disappeared. He shook his head slightly and sighed slightly, knowing that he could not escape after all.
As the first corpse climbed onto the city wall, the only pure land in Jiangxia County was also infiltrated by corpse poison. Before the corpse poison infected Huang Zhong, he was still wielding the eight-treasure unicorn bow, blasting away the rotten corpses. 's head.
Huang Zhong only felt more and more powerless. In the end, he couldn't even lift the Eight Treasures Qilin Bow, and couldn't even wave his hand. Finally, he lay helpless on the ground.
In the last few breaths of losing consciousness, he only felt as if he was being carried up by something, as if it were those corpses. Huang Zhong felt that he was too tired, tilted his head, and completely lost consciousness.
