Chapter 760 Young General vs. Rich Lady 63
There were clanging sounds in the cave, and the entrance was getting bigger and bigger. The one-eyed man told his men to keep digging.
"After you complete this mission, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future. Rong State will not treat you unfairly. You will also be able to hug beautiful female slaves and ride on the heads of those who bullied you!"
"You guys come with me, and go grab a group of people to dig a hole. We must welcome the Beirong cavalry into the city tonight!"
With a whoosh, a crossbow arrow shot over and hit the one-eyed dragon's intact eye.
Blood gushed out, and the one-eyed dragon's eyes went dark. He staggered and fell to the ground. He realized that someone had broken in, so he quickly rolled to the corner and hid, shouting, "Quick, quick, quick! Kill them! Don't spare any of them!"
Swish, swish, swish! The crossbow fired continuously, killing three enemies in succession.
There were wails everywhere. In front of the Huo family army, these people had no ability to resist and more than half of them died in an instant.
The one-eyed dragon heard Huo Xiao's voice, "You colluded with Beirong and dug a secret passage privately, intending to lead Beirong into the city. You are guilty of treason and shall be killed without mercy!"
How could Huo Xiao be here? The one-eyed dragon had not taken Huo Xiao seriously before, but he was greedy for the food that suddenly appeared, so he agreed to cooperate with Guo Qing to grab the food.
He secretly prepared manpower and originally planned to kill Guo Qing after snatching the food and keep the food for himself. Later, he was ambushed by Huo's army and lost a lot of his manpower. So he sent people to rescue Guo Qing and tricked Guo Qing into helping him dig a secret passage.
If he had known Huo Xiao was so difficult to deal with, he should not have been so greedy to steal food. He clearly killed everyone, so who was the one who tipped off?
The one-eyed dragon felt the people around him falling one by one, and the breath of death was getting closer and closer. He was flexible and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy, "General Huo, spare my life! The Beirong people forced me to do this! If I don't listen to them, I will die!"
"As long as the general spares my life, I will never dare to do that again. I will serve you like a slave to repay your kindness..."
Huo Xiao raised his sword and a head rolled down.
If the One-Eyed Dragon was really forced, he should have surrendered long ago after Pingyang City had been under siege for so long.
As soon as the war broke out, he took the initiative to contact the Beirong people and dug secret passages at a rapid pace, and it was clear that he was wholeheartedly helping the Beirong people.
As for those who followed the One-Eyed Dragon, they admired the bravery of the Northern Rong people, bullied the weak and feared the strong, and wanted to trample their compatriots under their feet. I don’t know how many evil things they did following the One-Eyed Dragon. They deserved to be put to death!
With a loud bang, the entrance of the cave became wider, and the Beirong people outside were also digging the entrance.
Under pressure from the Huo family's army, the one-eyed dragon's men ignored their injuries and raised stones and worn-out hammers, smashing them again and again, finally managing to create a hole big enough for a person to pass through.
They cheered, "The Beirong people are coming! The Beirong people are coming! We are saved!"
“Hurry, hurry, kill the Huo family army, kill them all. How can a mere few dozen people compare to the powerful soldiers of Beirong? You will all die, hahahahaha…”
The first person to come in was a tall cavalryman. There were several cuts on his body from the narrow hole, but he didn't care. The pain even stimulated his bloodthirsty nature.
The Beirong cavalry raised their scimitars and swept across, sweeping away the two people in front of them as if they were clearing away garbage.
The two men were cut in half, their upper bodies were still squirming, and wailing came out of their throats.
The one-eyed dragon's men were all terrified. In their imagination, they were the heroes of Beirong and Beirong should treat them as guests of honor, give them beautiful women and fine wine, and present them with gold, silver and jewels.
"What are you doing? We are heroes. If you kill us, the general will not let you go!"
The Northern Rong people came in one after another. One of them was a centurion who could understand the official language of the Wei State. He laughed loudly and said, "The secret passage has been dug through, why are we still keeping you here? You are not of our race, so your hearts must be different! Keeping you here will only bring disaster!"
The Beirong people and the Huo family army started fighting. No one cared about the lives of those traitors. The Beirong people used them as human shields to block bows and crossbows and swords. They were hit by several arrows and were covered in wounds. Their bodies were thrown aside at random.
The Beirong people who rushed in from behind stepped on the bodies and kicked them away roughly. The Huo family army also hated these people very much, so they took advantage of any opportunity to kill them with a single blow and threw the bodies far away to prevent them from being used as shields by the Beirong people.
Xu Sheng shot an arrow at a Beirong man who was crawling inside. The man struggled for a moment, then died, and his body completely blocked the entrance to the cave.
The Beirong people had little mercy on their compatriots who died in the battle. They pulled hard at the corpses blocking the entrance of the cave, chopped them with knives, and kicked them with their feet. The corpses were split in two, and the entrance to the cave was revealed.
The Beirong people drilled in one after another. As long as they were not killed by arrows, they tried their best to climb out. They smashed the iron hammers on the mountain wall. After a few times, the entrance of the cave became bigger and bigger, and the Beirong people drilled in more and more smoothly.
As the saying goes, one man can hold the pass against ten thousand. The Beirong army is numerous and powerful, but they can only advance one by one. The corpses in the cave are piled up like a mountain. The Huo family army is guarding here tightly, killing one if one comes, and killing a pair if two come.
After all, there were more Beirong people. They kept pouring in, and more and more Beirong people were alive in the cave.
Huo Xiao made a gesture, and the Huo family army fought and retreated all the way to the corner.
The Beirong people were very excited. "They are starting to retreat! Go and tell the Wanhu Marquis to continue to advance."
When the news spread, tens of thousands of Beirong people were very excited. Wan Huhou felt that his chance to make a contribution had come. "God is really helping me! Huo Xiao is actually here. As long as Huo Xiao is killed, the Huo family army will be leaderless. I will lead my troops to attack the city and will be invincible!"
“Hurry, hurry, hurry! Rush in. No matter what the cost, we must kill Huo Xiao!”
The long secret passage was full of people. Due to the naturally formed cavity in the mountain, the secret passage had not been completely tidied up. It was like a vase that was narrow on both sides and bulging in the middle. After the Beirong people came in, they were stuck inside and couldn't get out for a while.
At the corner, crossbow arrows were shot out one by one. This place was suitable for an ambush, but it would not last long, as the Beirong people would rush over sooner or later.
After the initial chaos, the Beirong were not afraid of the ambush at all. They used their seriously injured compatriots as shields and rushed forward regardless of the consequences.
The Huo family army had the advantage in weapons, as well as bulletproof vests and helmets to protect themselves. They managed to hold the place and prevent the Beirong people from rushing out.
Many people were injured, and the guards of the Yan Mansion also stepped forward to resist the Northern Rong people together.
Xu Sheng was extremely anxious. "Is Yan Changfeng okay? Why hasn't he recovered yet? Is he scared and running away?"
"Such an important matter should be handled by the Major General. Leave it to Yan Changfeng. Don't let us all die! Our death is a small matter. If the Beirong people break in, Pingyang City will be doomed!"
