There was no more sound of drums from the Chu army, and the chilling atmosphere that had lasted for several days seemed to have eased as the sound of the drums disappeared. After several days of torment, the depressed mood of the soldiers at the top of the city was a little relieved. After dinner, many tired and sleepy soldiers fell asleep on the spot, but Hu Zongmao did not take it lightly because of the changes in the Chu army, and still ordered the defenders to divide into two shifts and take turns on duty.

There was not much wind tonight, but due to the strong wind during the day, the dust in the sky was still dense. The soldiers on duty at the top of the city did not dare to take it lightly. Looking at the Chu army camp outside the city from a distance, there were little lights of fire, stretching for more than ten miles. , but there was silence, as if there was no living person in the continuous barracks, deadly silence.

In the dead of night, it seems that everything is gone. The soldiers sleeping in a daze against the wall at the head of the city heard a strange sound faintly in their ears. The two armies are facing each other, and no one will really fall asleep. Death, the sound brought by the wind made the soldiers at the top of the city stand up slowly, and all of them couldn't help but look towards the Chu army's barracks.

The flames soared into the sky.

The soldiers who got up were shocked when they first saw the Chu army camp. They only saw the continuous Chu army camp, but at this time it was already full of flames, and the raging fire was burning, reflecting the sky above the Chu army camp. It's all red.

The soldiers of the rebel army could even see the figures scurrying around in the flames, and the voices from the wind, with shouts, screams, and hisses of grief, everyone could instantly understand that the Chu army camp was already in chaos. 』Make a ball.

Hu Zongmao, who was half asleep, was reported by the general and quickly appeared at the top of the city. The fire in the Chu army barracks was getting bigger and bigger, and the screams in the wind became clearer and clearer. The figure in the firelight Running around, in a mess.

"What's going on?" Hu Zongmao never expected that such a scene would appear on the side of the Chu army. He put his hands on the battlements and leaned forward. Now he really hopes that his eyeballs can fly out and take a good look. What happened to the Chu army barracks? [

Vice-General Yao said from the side: "General, it seems...it seems that there is a fire over there...!"

This is undoubtedly nonsense, even a fool can see that Chu Ying is on fire.

"General, it doesn't seem to be as simple as a fire." Another lieutenant next to him opened his eyes wide and looked at the raging fire over there, "It seems... It seems that someone set the fire... General, the Chu camp stretches for more than ten miles. There are multiple fire points...!" He raised his hand and pointed to it, "The fire points are not connected, it is obvious that someone set fire everywhere at the same time...!"

People in the surroundings nodded slightly, and everyone could see clearly that the fire in Chuying must have been deliberately set on fire.

Hu Zongmao frowned and asked in surprise, "Who set this on fire?"

"Did they let them go?" Vice-General Yao immediately said, "General, the Chu army is composed of the three major battalions and the governor's guards newly recruited by Chu Huan. The guards may be loyal to Chu Huan, but the three battalions But they may not be really loyal to Chu Huan, we have found out that there has been internal strife within the Chu army, and many soldiers are clamoring to withdraw... Are those soldiers who oppose Chu Huan lighting the fire at night?"

Hu Zongmao shook his head and said: "There are not many possibilities. If some soldiers escaped quietly, it is very possible. But setting fire to the camp is a serious crime of extermination. Ordinary soldiers don't have the courage...!"

"Listen!" A general next to him suddenly said: "General, there seems to be fighting sounds over there...!"

"That's right, it's the sound of fighting...!" Someone immediately became alert and raised his finger to the other side, "General, look, the Chu camp is in chaos, and fighting is happening...!"

Of course Hu Zongmao has seen it.

The flames of the Chu camp shot up into the sky, and as the flames spread, the entire sky was already glowing red, and the soldiers at the top of the city could vaguely see that in the Chu camp, figures flickered, and they were really fighting.

Shouts and screams came with the night wind, Hu Zongmao raised his brows, understood, and said, "Yes... Zhang Shuyan's men have arrived...!"

All the generals came to their senses immediately, and Vice-General Yao immediately said: "General is wise, reinforcements from Jinzhou must have arrived, hahahaha... General Zhang's troops are really not slow, and they came in time. General, look, the Chu army seems to have arrived. I can't resist it, I've retreated...!"

Hu Zongmao's eyes twitched, and he said flatly, "Zhang Shuyan really came just in time...!"

"The Chu army is exhausted, coupled with the plague and internal strife, it is already vulnerable." Deputy General Yao clenched his fists and said excitedly: "Look at the formation over there, General Zhang brought a lot of people this time... Night attack on Chu Ying, hehe, it will be difficult for Chu Huan to fly with his wings this time." [

Sure enough, the Chu army was retreating across the board. Perhaps the Chu army really didn't expect that Zhang Shuyan's soldiers and horses would come so quickly, and even launch a surprise attack at night.

The camp was burning in the flames, the Chu army was caught off guard, and it was in chaos. This is an army that has not been well integrated. When it is suddenly attacked, it is already in chaos. The defenders on the top of the city can clearly see By the time the generals of the Chu army had begun to retreat to the east, the soldiers of the Chu army were fighting spirit, crying for their fathers and mothers, scrambling to escape to the east.

"General, this opportunity must not be missed, we can't wait any longer." Deputy General Yao said anxiously: "The Chu army was completely defeated. This is the best opportunity. Zhang Shuyan and the others cannot take the credit for it."

"Yes, general, give the order." The other generals persuaded one after another: "We were the ones who exhausted the Chu army like this, but now the Jinzhou soldiers want to get a big deal. We must not let them take the credit."

"General, as long as Chu Huan is defeated in this battle, the name of the general will be famous all over the world." Deputy General Yao said with anticipation: "If the general gives up such a great opportunity, I'm afraid he will regret it later, and when the time comes to spread the word, I don't know. Anyway, I thought it was a general...!" Up to this point, he dared not continue.

As a soldier, what I look forward to most is to be able to make achievements on the battlefield. As long as you do meritorious service, you must be promoted. Even if Chu Huan was captured alive, the credit would be unparalleled. Seeing the sudden night attack of the Jinzhou soldiers outside the city, the Chu army retreated, and the blood of the generals was boiling. No one wanted to miss such a great opportunity to make such contributions.

Hu Zongmao's throat twitched, watching the generals of the Chu army retreating towards the east like a frightened flock, his fists had already been clenched, and the persuasive voices of the generals could not stop ringing in his ears, he gritted his teeth and was about to say something, when a person beside him jumped out of the way Going out, he said in a deep voice: "General, it is already a great contribution to defend Hezhou City. You must not leave the city easily. I always feel that there is something wrong with it."

The person who spoke was naturally He Kui, the clerk who always speaks inappropriately.

"Do you think Chu Huan is a trick to lure soldiers?" Hu Zongmao asked He Kui with a glance.

He Kui said: "I'm not sure about it, but I always feel that something...!"

Before the words were finished, Vice General Yao said sharply: "He Kui, don't always think that the general who commands the army is the general, not you He Kui, can you fucking afford to delay the military plane?"

He Kui sneered and said: "He is afraid that you will be impulsive and put the general in danger...!"

"choke"!

The broadsword was out of its sheath, and with a flash of light, the blade of the broadsword in Deputy General Yao's hand was already against He Kui's throat, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said coldly: "You said that we are in danger for the general? You fucking say it again! "

"Stop!" Hu Zongmao's face turned cold, he grabbed Vice General Yao's wrist, moved away, and shouted: "Vice General Yao, how dare you use a knife or gun in front of this general?"

Lieutenant General Yao was shocked and knelt down hastily, "General, I am reckless in a lowly position. Please forgive me. But the general is loyal. The general worked hard day and night to fight this battle. The whole army swore to be loyal to the general. Such a good opportunity, but He Kui is timid, looking forward and backward, waiting until Zhang Shuyan wins Chu Huan, then everything will be too late. We fought hard for days, and in the end, we can only make wedding clothes for Zhang Shuyan, General, the leader of your army Talent, far better than Zhang Shuyan, if Zhang Shuyan takes the lead, he will definitely show off his power in front of the general in the future, the general can bear it, but the last general can't bear it!"

All the generals knelt down one after another and said in unison: "General, please make a quick decision, we will obey the general's order!"

Hu Zongmao's heart is also extremely contradictory at this time. He has a cautious temperament and will not take risks easily in everything. The camp was raging with flames, and the soldiers of the Chu army fled in embarrassment, throwing away their helmets and armor, crying for their parents and mothers. If such a great opportunity is missed, I'm afraid they will regret it in the future.

The most important thing is that he and Zhang Shuyan have a disagreement. Although they are both under Zhu Lingyue's command, they both look down on each other. If Zhang Shuyan takes the first place this time, Hu Zongmao will absolutely not accept it.

I was suffering and struggling in my heart, when I heard someone say: "General, look...!"

Hu Zongmao raised his head hastily, but saw a group of troops galloping towards the city gate. Deputy General Yao had ordered the archers at the top of the city to prepare. He saw the group of people approaching, but there were only a hundred or so people, all of them were cavalry. More than a dozen torches were shining like a fiery snake swimming over. A cavalryman held a flag in his hand first. The flag was fluttering under the night. By the light of the fire, someone had already seen that on the fluttering military flag was written With a flamboyant "Zhang" character.

"It's Jinzhou soldiers!" Someone has already shouted.

Before Hu Zongmao could see clearly, there was already a voice shouting from the city: "General Hu, don't shoot arrows. We are General Zhang's subordinates. Is General Hu there?"

Hu Zongmao leaned out of the battlements, looked down from the top of the city, and said in a deep voice: "This general is here, and you are General Zhang's subordinates?"

A cavalry was urged out of the group, but it was not dressed as a soldier. He raised his head and said in a loud voice, "General Hu, Huang Yutan is here. The general is mighty, and the city of Hezhou is as solid as gold. Congratulations!"

"It's Mr. Huang!" Hu Zongmao breathed a sigh of relief. Huang Yutan is Zhang Shuyan's aide. Since he appeared here, Zhang Shuyan's soldiers and horses have definitely arrived. He asked loudly, "Mr. Huang, has General Zhang arrived yet?" ?”

Huang Yutan smiled and said: "General Hu, we arrived at noon, God help, there was a strong wind and sandstorm during the day, we are only [-] miles away from Chu camp, and we have already found out about their camp. We are about to launch an attack, and then General Zhang discussed with the generals, and waited until the dead of night, when the Chu army was not on guard, and then launched a night attack on them...!"

"You guys started the fire in Chuying?"

"Exactly." Huang Yutan laughed and said, "General Zhang first sent people to sneak into the Chu camp and set fire to it. The Chu army was in chaos. Our army then took advantage of the situation to attack. The Chu army was in chaos. They all said how amazing Chu Huan is." , see you today, it's nothing more than that...!"

Hu Zongmao frowned and asked, "I don't know why Mr. Huang is here if he doesn't chase the enemy?"

Huang Yutan immediately restrained his face and said in a loud voice: "General Hu, General Zhang asked Huang to come here to thank General Hu for keeping his promise. Chu Huan caused chaos in the Northwest and killed General Dongfang. General Zhang was both public and private. He wanted to capture Chu Huan with his own hands, so General Zhang led his troops to chase after him, and he decided to capture Chu Huan alive. General Zhang asked General Hu to guard the city.

Hu Zongmao laughed out loud, with annoyed voice: "He asked this general to guard the city? What qualifications does Zhang Shuyan have to give orders to this general?" He clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "The generals obey the order, order the soldiers and horses, I will leave the city with this book!"
