Chapter 124 Clan rebellion!

Although one hundred thousand arrows is a large amount for the five major families, as a clan, how could they not be prepared at all to face troubled times?

Not only do they have private soldiers from major families, but they also secretly purchase and store armaments on many occasions, just to prevent accidents.

Arrows are naturally among their reserves of armaments. Now the major families have a total of seventy or eighty thousand arrows. If they buy some more, it will be enough for one hundred thousand!

Soon, several major families went back to prepare. Since they wanted to escape from here, they naturally had to make full preparations. As soon as they returned, they disbanded the clansmen and asked them to hide in various places to prepare for the opportunity to make a comeback.

At the same time, the important people in the family gathered together, packed up their belongings and prepared arrows, and rushed to the meeting point.

What they did was very secretive, and the five major clans in Jingzhou also had their own businesses, so not many people were suspicious when they saw the carriages coming out of the major clans.

They even brought a lot of private soldiers, which was quite large.

Finally, they arrived at the meeting place, and it was evening.

Not far ahead is the city gate. As long as they can get out of the city smoothly, even if Cao Jun reacts, it will be too late.

But as soon as they arrived at the city gate, they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.

"Stop, what do you do?"

Huang Chengyan immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face. He also took out some silver coins from his sleeve and stuffed them into the hands of the defenders.

"Sir, we are all doing business. This time we are transporting some goods out of the city. Please make it convenient."

However, the soldiers guarding the city refused the bribe and looked upright.

"If it's business, we won't stop it, but according to the rules, we need to inspect the goods!"

As he spoke, he waved for other soldiers to come forward to check.

Suddenly, the hearts of all the clan members were in their throats. Their carriages were not carrying any cargo, but arrows. These were military equipment, and those caught would be beheaded.

"Sir, it's really just some goods. They are all cloth and the like. There is no need to inspect them."

"Look at us, we are all from Jingzhou, you should know us."

Kuai Yue stepped forward and mentioned their origins intentionally or unintentionally, thinking that they should give some face to the five major families in Jingzhou.

It's a pity that the soldier guarding the city this time was a die-hard soldier, and he was not a Jingzhou soldier, but Cao Cao's Qingzhou soldier, and he didn't care about the five major clans in Jingzhou at all.

"No, we have to check!"

After saying that, several soldiers came forward to check.

When several clan representatives saw that they were about to be exposed, they suddenly became jealous and glanced at their private soldiers.

When several Cao soldiers came forward to inspect, the private soldiers of the five clans suddenly broke out. They transformed into villains and killed several soldiers directly.

The other private soldiers rushed towards the city gate, catching the soldiers defending the city by surprise!
  "Kill!"

Within a moment, all the dozen or so soldiers guarding the city were killed!

"Come on!"

Huang Chengyan called on everyone to open the city gate and fled Jingzhou City in a hurry.

Not long after the clansmen escaped from Jingzhou, the news reached Cao Hong's ears. As a general guarding Jingzhou, Cao Ren was furious.

"Damn it, you actually killed my soldiers. I think they are crazy!"

At this time, Zhang Liao led his army to Jingzhou in a hurry. After entering the city, he also understood the situation. He suddenly felt anxious and hurried to find Cao Hong.

After telling Cao Cao's order, Cao Hong became even more angry.

"Okay, it turns out that these clans have been rebelling for a long time, and now they are killing my soldiers and openly opposing our army. They are simply seeking death!" "General, I will pursue you with you!"

Zhang Liao naturally agreed, and the two of them led ten thousand light cavalry and went directly to pursue the fleeing clans!

Cao Hong and Zhang Liao led their troops in pursuit. Because they led light cavalry, they were very fast.

The clans fled in a hurry. If there was room for change before, now there is no chance at all.

"Alas, now that we have killed Cao Jun's soldiers, if we are captured and taken back, the end will be miserable!"

Pang Degong said with a sigh.

Kuai Yue also had some regrets in his heart. The Kuai family originally favored Cao Cao, but why did they end up like this now?
  They left their homes and businesses with only some belongings, and even most of the clansmen let them escape. The five major clans in Jingzhou disappeared overnight.

Huang Chengyan comforted everyone and said: "Don't worry, generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are at the front to meet us. They are brave enough that no one can defeat them. Cao's army will definitely be defeated."

"Although we abandoned our industry, when we come back one day, we will still be able to develop based on our respective foundations. Moreover, this time we have the support of Liu Bei and Sun Quan."

After hearing the comfort, everyone calmed down a lot.

At this moment, a private soldier hurried to everyone's side.

"Cao Jun is already chasing us, and is only ten miles away from us!"

Instantly, everyone panicked.

They didn't expect that Cao Jun would react so quickly and send people to catch up. Although there were hundreds of private soldiers, how could they compare to the regular army?

If he is caught up, there is only one way to die.

"How many people are there in Cao's army?" Pang Degong asked quickly.

The private soldier's face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of panic: "About... ten thousand people!"

Suddenly everyone felt like the world was spinning.

There are ten thousand people chasing them, why don't you chop them into pieces?
  Huang Chengyan's face was gloomy, and he finally gritted his teeth and said: "Let our private soldiers go to stop them and buy us some time. When the two generals Guan and Zhang arrive, we will be saved!"

Now they have no other choice but to leave enough people to drive the carriage, and all the other private soldiers.

They are said to be private soldiers, but they are actually the dead soldiers they have trained. They have taught them since they were young and made them obey their orders.

Therefore, although they were afraid, these private soldiers stayed to buy a short time for their masters.

Soon, Cao Jun caught up. Seeing hundreds of private soldiers standing there, the two generals Zhang Liao and Cao Hong suddenly looked with disdain.

"Haha, the clan in Jingzhou just uses these people to stop us? It's just a joke."

"Listen to the order, adjust your formation, and charge!"

Following Zhang Liao's order, the cavalry behind him immediately formed a formation of arrows, charging forward like a sharp arrow!

"Kill!"

After a charge, hundreds of private soldiers died and fled, and they were unable to stop Cao's army for much time.

For Zhang Liao and Cao Hong, these private soldiers were just a sideshow and they didn't take it to heart at all. After dealing with these private soldiers, they continued to chase forward.

Finally, after chasing for more than twenty miles, they finally saw the clans in front of them.

However, at this time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had also led their troops to respond.
