Chapter 802 Young General vs. Rich Lady 105
Both of them were accustomed to leading the vanguard battalion, and their attacks were swift and fierce, making for a lively fight, and they did have a good understanding of each other, but they only fought between the two of them and ran far away, without involving anyone else.
Huo Xiao didn't care, as long as he didn't beat anyone to death.
Weilang fell off his horse, rolled on the ground to avoid the attack, and shouted something while holding his sword.
Zhao Hai also got off his horse, and the two started fighting again. Wei Lang's sword broke, so the two started fighting with bare hands, and it looked like the fight would last for a while.
Lu Yongxin felt a little embarrassed. It was really shameful that his deputy general couldn't beat the opponent.
He was about the same age as Huo Yuanyi and was considered Huo Xiao's elder, so he swallowed his anger and advised, "I really feel guilty towards your father. Even if you are angry and scold me, I won't bother with you."
"Your father was loyal to the emperor and patriotic all his life. The Huo family has been a family of loyal ministers and generals for generations. Is the reputation and honor accumulated by generations going to be destroyed in your hands?"
"The imperial decree has come down. You should go to Wangdu. I promise that as long as you come back, Pingyang City will still be yours. I don't want to rob you, but I can't disobey the emperor's order."
Huo Xiao laughed out loud, "Is it the emperor's order or Gou Xun's order that is harder to disobey? Lu Yongxin, you know it in your heart! The Huo family is of course loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but is the imperial decree really the emperor's original intention? I don't believe it!"
"You say it lightly. You don't know the pain unless the knife cuts yourself. If your father died, if 300,000 people died in Guangling City, would you still be so magnanimous?"
"You want me to go back, but what should I do after I go back? I will hand over the tiger talisman and have the Huo family army in various places replaced with Gou Xun's men, or the regent's men. That would be a big deal. Right now, the fight is just in Wangdu City, but in the future, it will have to happen throughout the entire Wei Kingdom! This is a fight between brothers, and today's scene will be staged in various places in the Wei Kingdom!"
"The people of Beirong are so happy that they are going crazy. Qi and Lu are celebrating. Wei is finished! Lu Yongxin, stop taking advantage of your age. Your brain is a mess. You just listen to whatever Gou Xun says. You don't understand how serious the current situation is!"
"I am too lazy to scold you, just go back! If you still remember my father's kindness, you should stop the State of Lu. You brought so many people out, do you want the State of Lu to take advantage of the situation?"
Lu Yongxin's mind is indeed a little confused.
He was just a military general, good at leading troops in battle, but he really couldn't understand what the senior officials in Wangdu City were thinking.
After Huo Xiao's analysis, he felt that what Huo Xiao said made sense and it would be right not to go back.
But even if he were asked to disobey the order, he would not have the courage to do so. After all, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are engraved in his bones, and he is not a cunning person.
Lu Yongxin's momentum suddenly weakened. Although he was much older than Huo Xiao and had an imperial edict with him, he inexplicably felt ashamed at this moment.
"I know that the people of Lu will not be able to come here for a while."
"If you don't want to go to Wangdu, I won't force you, but the imperial edict says that I should take over Pingyang City. You must let me in so that you can have an explanation to Wangdu."
"You also know that Lu is eyeing us covetously. I can't keep wasting time here. If you don't let me, I will have to take action. There are only a few hundred people left to protect you. You don't want them to die here, right?"
The Guangling army drew their swords and thrust their spears forward, taking three steps forward in neat steps. They were also a well-trained army. Their weapons were inferior to those of the Huo family army, but they had more people and would not be afraid if a fight really broke out!
Huo Xiao waved his hand, and a row of arrows shot out, only one foot away from the front row of horse hooves. This was a warning; if they took another step forward, the real attack would begin.
There was still no human figure on the city wall, but there was a faint arrow with a cold glow sticking out.
Only then did Lu Yongxin realize that there were archers hiding on the city wall. The wall had also been raised. He didn't know what material it was made of. The outer wall was gray and had a rough, grainy feel.
It seems that there are more surviving soldiers of the Huo family than he imagined, but judging from the number of bows and arrows, there shouldn't be many people.
"Protect with shields!" Lu Yongxin gave an order and the shields were put up.
"Huo Xiao, I really don't want to fight with you, don't force me!"
Huo Xiao sneered, "You've blocked my doorstep. Who is forcing whom? Lu Yongxin, the Huo family army fought hard to save Pingyang City. Unless I die, no one can take it."
"Bei Rong can't do it, Qi and Lu can't do it, and neither can you!"
There was a series of loud rumbling noises, as if the earth was shaking. Lu Yongxin's horse was frightened and kicked its feet restlessly, almost throwing Lu Yongxin off.
The war horses of the Huo family army had long been accustomed to the occasional rumbling sounds and were quite calm.
Several Pingyang soldiers had already fallen down, and Lu Yongxin managed to save his face by jumping off his horse.
He stroked the horse's neck to comfort it, shocked and angry, "What happened? Why is there such a loud noise in the city? Huo Xiao, what on earth are you doing?"
Previously, explosives were used at the north gate or in the wilderness to the north, and the noise could not be transmitted to Guangling City.
Lu Yongxin never sent anyone to investigate, so he had no idea that such a powerful weapon existed.
Huo Xiao said calmly: "Why are you making such a fuss? The city is digging a canal. In order to save time, they used some explosives to blow up a few big holes, which will make it easier to dig."
Weilang had returned from the fight, half of his face was swollen, his eyes were bruised, his armor was torn and his belly was exposed, and he walked with a limp.
He lost miserably. He didn't win on horseback, his sword was cut off, and he lost with his bare hands. Zhao Hai was really a piece of shit. He only picked visible places to hit. He was not seriously injured, but he looked extremely embarrassed!
"What is dynamite? I've never heard of it."
Zhao Hai returned victorious, feeling very proud. He took out a thumb-sized explosive and shook it in front of Wei Lang.
"Grandson, look! This is dynamite. Grandpa will show you how powerful this magical thing is!"
A new batch of explosives can be detonated remotely or ignited, but the small portions of explosives can only be ignited.
Zhao Hai lit the explosives and threw them far away.
With a loud bang, a small hole was blown out in the ground.
"See? Such a small piece has such great power. If it were normal sized, it would be like playing to blow you up."
"Grandson, you can't beat grandpa, and your Guangling Army can't beat the Huo family army either, so get out of here as soon as possible!"
Wei Lang's face flushed, and he said unconvincedly: "My warhorse is not as tall as yours, and my weapon is not as strong as yours. It's no big deal if you win. Just wait, I will definitely beat you next time!"
"If you lose, you lose. Who are you? Call me grandpa and let me hear it. I will admit defeat if I lose the bet!"
Zhao Hai dragged Wei Lang to spar with him again. He had to hear his grandson call him grandpa today!
Lu Yongxin had never seen a weapon with such powerful power. It was really beyond his imagination.
Huo Xiao did not intend to hide it. "Pingyang City is blessed by the gods. This item is a gift from the gods. If we really fight, you have no chance of winning. Get lost!"
