Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 496: Guyun, Huang Zu falls

Jiangxia County City, battlefield on the west wall.

This can be said to be the place with the weakest defense among the four battlefields. Only Huang Zu brought the original 50,000 troops of Jiangxia County to guard this place. Similarly, in addition to the weak defense, the offensive force is also the same. There are only two generals, Pan Zhang and Ding Feng, and the troops they brought are almost the same as those responsible for guarding.

But what no one knows is that this is the most critical step in Sun Jian’s plan to break through the Jiangxia County City.

The western wall was destined to be the weakest defensive wall due to its geographical location and the fact that it had just been rebuilt after being breached last time. Taking all the factors into consideration, Sun Jian chose this as the direction for the Gu women's attack.

More than two miles away from the city wall, there were no more fighting soldiers. Hundreds of people wearing black hoods were waiting here quietly.

Sun Jian, who was supposed to be in the border military camp, actually appeared here. Beside him, there was a pretty woman standing gracefully.

"Mo Qing, all the troops on this battlefield are prisoners rescued from prisons in various places, or they are local bullies. Anyway, there is not a single good person among them. They have all surrendered. Except for Pan Zhang and Ding Feng, everyone else can die."

When Sun Jian said this, his face was expressionless, as if he was talking about something unimportant.

Miao Moqing nodded slightly.

"My Lord, rest assured. After the two generals withdraw from the battlefield, my sisters and I will use the Guyun to activate the Gu insects that have been planted in their bodies. At that time, we only need your order to turn the entire battlefield into a Shura field in an instant."

"it is good."

Sun Jian nodded slightly and nodded to the person behind him. After getting Sun Jian's approval, the person shook his hand and put it in front of his mouth, and an extremely loud whistle sounded.

On the battlefield, Pan Zhang and Ding Feng, who were fighting Huang Zu, were struck by lightning the moment they heard the whistle. Then, they both exerted force at the same time, and their spears hit Huang Zu at the same time, knocking him back several feet.

Huang Zu was shocked and quickly took a defensive stance, but the next moment, the two men turned their horses and left without even looking at them.

Huang Zu thought they were cheating at first, but until the two figures completely disappeared without looking back, Huang Zu was sure that they had both left.

Although he didn't know why they suddenly retreated, it was definitely not a good thing. Huang Zu looked at the east with some worry. That place was destined to be the most intense battlefield. If the two retreated at this time, they would most likely go to the battlefield in the east.

Pan Zhang and Ding Feng were almost whipping their horses to pieces with their whips. Although they didn't know why Sun Jian told them to retreat immediately when they heard the whistle, they knew that if they didn't listen to Sun Jian, they would definitely suffer the consequences. Therefore, as soon as they heard the whistle, their first thought was to repel Huang Zu first and not let Huang Zu get entangled with them.

As it turned out, their guess was correct. After they ran far away from the battlefield, when they looked back, they saw a dark cloud covering the sky above the battlefield.

"Black clouds?"

Pan Zhang looked at the clouds floating in the sky with horror. Rather than calling them clouds, it would be more accurate to say that they were a gas made up of something unknown because they were so black. Unlike the dull gray of dark clouds, these clouds were endlessly black, so dark that just one glance at them seemed to suck away one's mind.

"It seems that this is the reason why the lord asked us to withdraw from the battlefield."

Ding Feng said quietly, and the two looked at each other, their hearts still beating a little, they were just racing against death.

"The one on the hill ahead is the lord, right?"

Pan Zhang narrowed his eyes and looked at the mountain not far from them.

"It's the Lord and his men. Let's go over there."

The two men no longer cared about the battlefield behind them. Since they had saved their lives, what happened on the battlefield had nothing to do with them. Anyway, the soldiers there were just a temporary army composed of prisoners, and they would die if they died.

On the top of the mountain, Sun Jian clenched his fists and looked at the battlefield in the distance. Without the physique of a first-class general, he could not see the distant scene clearly. He could only judge which side had the advantage by the contrasting colors of the generals' armor.

As the black cloud completely enveloped the entire eastern battlefield, the Jiangdong soldiers, whose combat effectiveness had just been negligible and who were being chased and beaten by the Jiangxia Army, suddenly became energized and launched a frantic counterattack.

And they seemed to have been greatly improved, forming a sharp contrast with the army that had no discipline at all just now.

After all the Jiangdong soldiers who had been infected with the seed Gu on the battlefield were controlled, the hundred Gu women on the hillside suddenly closed their eyes, as if they were performing some ritual. After they opened their eyes, the Jiangdong army, which had been attacking in a chaotic manner on the battlefield, suddenly began to become orderly and their cooperation became more and more tacit.

"Hahaha, is this the string-pulling Gu? So domineering!"

Sun Jian couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw that the soldiers defending the city were almost instantly overwhelmed by the sea of ​​counterattacking people.

"Yes, most of these people are weak mentally, so even a novice Gu Master can control dozens or even hundreds of people at the same time. Some experienced Gu Masters can control hundreds or even thousands of people without any problem."

"Weak spirit? What do you mean?"

The more Sun Jian listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Wasn't this the same thing as the mental power he had seen in online novels in his previous life? The protagonists in those novels were usually those with both amazing physical and mental powers.

"Spirit, or we can say will, their will is very weak, so it is easy to be controlled. But if you encounter a puppet with a strong will, you may need an experienced Gu Master to control it one-on-one, otherwise the opponent will regain control of the body. The cash withdrawal Gu is a one-time use, and it must be replenished after it is used up. In other words, once the opponent regains control of the body, the cash withdrawal Gu will die, and the person will be free from control."

Miao Moqing explained to Sun Jian very patiently. After all, the following battle was already one-sided. With the blessing of several kinds of poisonous insects on their bodies, the soldiers defending the city were no match for them at all.

The Jiangdong army quickly pushed the battlefield to the foot of the city wall. It can be said that it was the first battlefield among the four battlefields to be pushed to the foot of the city wall.

Pan Zhang and Ding Feng were sweating profusely as they listened to this. They could never have imagined that the Gu insects could have such an effect. Before this, they all thought that the Gu used by the Gu tribe were just some poisons. Now they realized how naive their previous thoughts were.

What kind of poison can allow someone to control the actions of others?
The two of them stood by in silence, listening to the conversation between Sun Jian and Miao Moqing, waiting for Sun Jian's next instruction.

After listening to Miao Moqing's explanation, Sun Jian became more certain that the mental power Miao Moqing was talking about was the thing he had read in the online novels before.

"You two, go to other battlefields. I will personally command the western battlefield from now on."

Sun Jian seemed to have just seen Pan Zhang and Ding Feng standing aside. He waved at them, and the two of them quickly bowed and clasped their hands.

"Yes, my lord!" After saying that, the two of them turned around and left without any hesitation. Staying here for one more second would make them feel uncomfortable.

"Mo Qing, how long can they last like this?"

"Two hours."

"Two hours."

Sun Jian's clenched fists relaxed, and a relieved expression appeared on his face.

"That's enough. Next, I'll trouble you all to work together to conquer Jiangxia County."

"As ordered."

Miao Moqing bowed to Sun Jian and raised her jade hand slightly. The hundred Gu Masters behind her immediately started to act. Following the Gu Masters' manipulation, countless armies began to attack the city.

On the battlefield, after Huang Zu was no longer blocked by other generals, he killed everyone in the battlefield, wielding his sword with great force. Those soldiers were no match for Huang Zu at all and were killed by him one after another.

But Huang Zu soon discovered something was wrong, because the soldiers, who were disorganized at the beginning, had become very well coordinated now. Countless soldiers were like ants, and Huang Zu was the most conspicuous elephant on the battlefield. The scene of those soldiers controlled by the poisonous insects besieging Huang Zu was just like ants eating an elephant.

"Why are these grandchildren so powerful all of a sudden?"

Huang Zu said in shock. He could kill one person with one sword just now, but now he has to use two or three swords to kill one person, and he will also be affected by the opponent's attack.

Behind Huang Zu, Huang She and Chen Jiu were raiding the formation for Huang Zu, but the addition of two second-rate generals did not have any impact on the situation. Instead, they were overwhelmed by the enemy's army in an instant.

"Father, something is wrong! It's like the other party has changed and has begun to launch an all-out counterattack!"

Huang She shouted loudly in the enemy's encirclement. It was not a good decision for him, who was good at riding and shooting, to join the battlefield at this time. Now he was surrounded by the enemy and might be killed by the enemy's soldiers at any time. It can be said that Huang She was on the edge of a cliff at this moment.

Huang Zu was fighting hard, trying to break through the enemy's siege and rescue Huang She. Chen Jue was already unable to take care of himself and was also trapped.

After Gu Yun dispersed, it took less than a quarter of an hour for the situation on the western battlefield, which had been very good, to be completely reversed. The Jiangdong army launched a unilateral massacre against the Jiangxia County defenders.

Even the second-rate generals under Huang Zu were surrounded and in danger.

The scene on the western battlefield was also noticed by people on the northern and southern battlefields. After all, such a large cloud was hard not to attract attention, and the cloud was a strange black color, which made it even more eye-catching.

However, they were unable to spare time to go to the western battlefield to see what was going on. Every battlefield was now exhausted and could only barely resist Jiangdong's attack.

Huang Zu was still fighting bloody battles, but he no longer had the same fighting power as at the beginning. Under the pressure of several minions, he already had a wound on his body. It was the wound left on his shoulder by a man who risked his life. Now he could only use his left hand to lift the knife.

Although Huang She reunited with Chen Jiu, Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu, it was of little use. The three of them were still surrounded by layers of troops and unable to move. However, their lives were not in danger for the time being. The four of them moved together in the direction where Huang Zu was, wanting to reunite with Huang Zu.

For a moment, the entire western battlefield was like a huge quagmire, sucking all of them firmly into the quagmire and making it impossible to escape.

"Father, we are here to save you, hold on!"

Huang She said anxiously that those who besieged Huang Zu were all prisoners with martial arts background, and they were also poisoned by several kinds of poisonous insects, which caused Huang Zu to be suppressed and miserable. This was why Huang She and others were so anxious.

As Huang She spoke, he spurred his horse forward, wanting to break out of the encirclement alone to help Huang Zu.

"Come back quickly! If you rush out alone, you will die!"

Chen hurriedly tried to stop Huang She, trying to stop his charge, but he was still a step too late. Huang She shot several arrows, briefly opening up a path, and then immediately rushed out.

"No! Go back now!"

Huang Zu's eyes were furious when he saw this scene. In this situation, the four of them would be in great danger of their lives even if they joined forces, not to mention that he was rushing into the enemy alone, which was no different from seeking death.

Before Huang Zu finished his words, Huang She, who had just rushed into the crowd, suddenly fell forward. Those who have experience on the battlefield know that in this situation, it is often because the horse's legs are cut off, which is why it falls forward.

After Huang She fell down, he never got up again. The surging enemy troops instantly overwhelmed him.

The rest of Huang Zu's words remained on his lips. When he wanted to speak again, he found that there was no sound. The next moment, a spear pierced Huang Zu's chest and knocked him off his horse. Then the surrounding enemy soldiers pounced on Huang Zu like a pile of monks.

On the hillside in the distance, Sun Jian couldn't help but burst into laughter as he watched the Jiangdong army gradually engulfing the enemy.

"Hahaha, Liu Bei, ah Liu Bei, even if you transport the army to Jingzhou right under my nose, what can it do?! Jingzhou is destined to be destroyed. When Jingzhou is destroyed, the next step will be you."

There was a gleam of ruthlessness in Sun Jian's eyes. He still remembered the humiliation Liu Bei inflicted on him when he was in Jiujiang County. They were both commanders of three armies and great princes of the time, but Liu Bei asked him to pour tea. Sun Jian had never suffered such humiliation since he entered the game.

His fists slowly clenched, and his teeth clenched with a squeaking sound.

"I'm going to make you wish you could die! Can't die!"

Miao Moqing, who was standing next to Sun Jian, turned a deaf ear to it, as if she had heard nothing, and continued to command the hundreds of Gu women behind her, controlling the army to continue attacking the enemy.

Under such an attack, the defenders of Jiangxia County were unable to recover and began to retreat into the city.

Among the several second-rate generals who were surrounded by the heavy army, only a small group consisting of Chen Jiu and three others are still alive.

In the center of the battlefield, there was a mountain of people.
