National color raw owl

Countless torches appeared in the east, the fires were as bright as day, and the earth was shaking. Hu Zongmao could clearly see that the overwhelming Chu army was rapidly approaching Hezhou City.

Hu Zongmao's hands and feet were cold, and his mind was completely blank at this moment.

The city gate was blocked, the army was overwhelming, the enemy was outnumbered, Hu Zongmao was not a general good at fighting head-on confrontation, at this moment he was helpless, when a gust of wind blew by, Hu Zongmao shivered.

The two armies won against the brave, and the rebels who were fighting at the city gate had heard the shouts from the east. The city gate was already dripping with blood, and someone outside the city could hear shouting: "Listen, soldiers in the city!" , the governor has already led an army to kill him, and the governor has passed down the generals, only to punish the chief villain, are you going to be buried for Hu Zongmao?"

The morale of the soldiers in the city was already extremely low. There were originally many militiamen among them. The school generals used them as cannon fodder to drive them to resist at the gate of the city. Hearing the shouting outside, many militiamen did not hesitate any more, turned around and ran away, several school generals saw the militiamen retreating, raised their knives and slashed. Cursed: "Fuck your grandma, think we are not human...!" Someone swung a knife and chopped at those school generals. There were not many school generals. Hacked to death.

The Xunziying soldiers were still desperately resisting, but they heard commotion behind them. Some people saw that the militiamen had hacked and killed the school general. The city was already in chaos, and there was no desire to fight. They were about to squeeze in from behind The defenders turned around and ran without any hesitation. There were hundreds of rebel soldiers crowded inside the city gate, but they scattered in a flash. Controlled the main gate of Hezhou City.

The cavalry of the Chu army and the eight hundred imperial guards rushed into the city. They did not rush in, but controlled the city gate. Immediately, the city flooded into the city like a tide. The defenders in the city lost their fighting spirit and fled in all directions. A group of cavalry rushed into the city and shouted loudly: "The governor of Chu has an order, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

The defenders who were fleeing in all directions had already dropped their weapons, knelt down on the ground, and said one after another, "I'm waiting to surrender!"

A group of soldiers from the Chu army had already rushed to the top of the city from the wall ladder. Seeing that the Chu army was in a state of numbness, the soldiers at the top of the city abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

There was a group of people who resisted stubbornly, they were all soldiers of Hu Zongmao's direct line, and they were killed one by one after all. He Kui, a literati, saw that the Chu army had already reached the top of the city, picked up a big knife from the ground, and went to meet them. Fighting, he was kicked in the chest by a guard warrior who rushed to the top of the wall, flew out, landed on the ground, spit out a mouthful of blood, the guard warrior stepped forward, raised his sword, and was about to chop it down, but heard A voice came from behind: "Stop!"

The samurai of the guards looked back, but saw Huang Yutan in a long robe who had climbed up to the top of the city at some point, so he didn't dare to make a move immediately. Several guards came over to protect Huang Yutan. Huang Yutan looked at the bloody mouth lying on the ground. He Kui sighed, "He Kui, you are just a literati. Why are you still so obsessed at this point?"

He Kui raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, smiled coldly, and said, "The winner is the prince and the loser is Kou, this is the end of the matter, and I have nothing to say." He raised his hand and gave Huang Yutan a thumbs up, "Say Mr. Huang is an elegant person, but he didn't expect that Mr. Huang would also be able to use these ghostly tricks, okay, okay, the scene you and Chu Huan performed together really made He admire him very much!"

Huang Yutan stared at He Kui, shook his head, and said: "Soldiers never tire of deceit, I'm afraid Your Excellency has already sensed that something is wrong, but it's a pity that it is Hu Zongmao who guards the city, not you He Kui, if Hu Zongmao really listens to you In other words, there may not be today's defeat."

He Kui let out a long sigh, and said: "One general will exhaust thousands of troops, after all, I think highly of Hu Zongmao...!"

Huang Yutan glanced around, frowned, and asked, "Where did Hu Zongmao go?"

A school general who surrendered cautiously said: "When you attacked the city just now, General Hu... No, no, Hu Zongmao said he would go down and fight to the death...!"

Huang Yutan sighed: "He Kui, it seems that you really misjudged the person. The person you are devoted to is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death...!"

"You are wrong." He Kui barely stood up with his hands on the ground, shook his head and said, "He is not loyal to a certain person, but to the fathers and villagers in the northwest."

Huang Yutan frowned, and was about to speak, but he heard footsteps behind him, and a hearty voice said, "Is Mr. Huang here?"

Huang Yutan turned around to look, but saw a man in armor, surrounded by a group of people, walking towards this side. The man's armor exuded black light, and the helmet on his head was like a wolf's head. He was heroic and majestic. Lin Lin is Chu Huan, the governor of Xiguan Road.

With a gentle smile on Chu Huan's face, seeing Huang Yutan had already stepped forward, he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. is in danger, and Chu Huan is worried. Seeing that Mr. is safe and sound, I feel relieved."

Huang Yutan cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Chu Du showed the enemy his weakness, lured the enemy out of the city, and succeeded in one fell swoop, which is really admirable."

"Mr. is too good." Chu Huan laughed, felt a cold and stern gaze from the side looking over, turned his head to look over, but saw a literati glaring at him, Chu Huan frowned, looked at the other party, his eyes rolled Han, the cold light flickered, and said coldly: "You are He Kui? When you see Ben Du, why don't you kneel?"

He Kui spat heavily and cursed angrily, "You're just a dog of the imperial court, why should I kneel down to you?"

"This governor is loyal to the court and put down the rebellion. Now that you are a prisoner, this governor can kill you with one finger. How dare you slander this governor here?" Chu Huan sneered: "It seems You don't spare that head on your own neck!"

He Kui straightened his neck and said, "If you want to kill, kill it, there is so much nonsense!"

When the people around Chu Huan heard what He Kui said, they all glared at He Kui. Someone had already grasped the knife tightly, and when Chu Huan gave an order, they went up to kill him.

Chu Huan stared at He Kui for a moment, and finally said calmly: "Pull He Kui down to show the public, as a warning to others!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone around Chu Huan was shocked, thinking to himself that He Kui still dared to speak wild words at this time, and not killing would not be enough to calm his anger.

Huang Yutan frowned and was about to speak. Chu Huan seemed to know what Huang Yutan was going to say and shook his head. Kui pulled down the owl's head, but He Kui quickly ran to the edge of the battlements, pointed at Chu Huan and said, "Chu Huan, do you want to kill me? Hehe, it's not that easy. I live by myself, and it's not your turn to die." !” With great strength, the two had climbed onto the battlements and were about to jump down to the bottom of the city.

Seeing that He Kui was about to become a puddle of fleshy mud at the base of the city wall, everyone felt a blur in front of them, and a figure passed by like a ghost. He Kui's body had already jumped out, but he felt his shoulders tense, and he hadn't reacted yet. However, the whole body did not fall, but was dragged back to the top of the city from the outside of the city wall.

Everyone around was stunned, but He Kui, who escaped from death, was already dumbfounded, but at this moment, he saw clearly that the one who saved him was actually Chu Huan.

Whether it was Chu Huan's subordinates or the rebel soldiers who abandoned their weapons and surrendered, they were all dumbfounded. They didn't even see clearly how Chu Huan saved people. Chu Huan's speed was really unimaginable. The martial arts practice of this young governor is really appalling, at least in the eyes of ordinary officers and soldiers, it is unimaginable.

He Kui quickly came back to his senses and said angrily, "Why...why did you save me?"

"There are fewer and fewer people who are not afraid of death." Chu Huan sighed, "One death is less than one death, Qing is not afraid of death, why should I be afraid of death?"

For a moment, He Kui couldn't see through the young man in front of him, and frowned, "Chu Huan, what tricks are you trying to play?"

Chu Huan shook his head and said: "The governor has already played the tricks that should be played, and there is no need to play tricks with you." He said to Huang Yutan: "Mr. I'll talk to you guys later." Looking around, he asked, "Who was the first to climb to the top of this city?"

Everyone immediately looked at one person, that person was in his early thirties, with a sturdy figure, his body was stained with blood, his shoulder had obviously been slashed, the wound hadn't been treated, and the blood was still spilling out.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the man felt a little embarrassed, Chu Huan already asked with a smile, "Are you the first to climb to the top of the city?"

The man came out, knelt down on one knee, and said: "Report to the governor, my little... I was watching the archers shoot arrows at the top of the city. I was annoyed when I shot many of our brothers to death. So after entering the city, So I rushed to the top of the city... I don't know if the little one is the first to climb the top of the city...!" Although he was a man of seven feet tall, he still spoke quite shyly.

All the soldiers of the Chu army around immediately testified: "Your Excellency, he was indeed the first to attack the city, and he also killed two rebels...!"

The man shyly said: "My lord, actually... In fact, the villain is not trying to win merit...!"

"The governor understands, the governor understands!" Chu Huan nodded with a smile, and asked gently, "What's your name?"

The man immediately said respectfully: "The youngest is a new recruit who has just joined the army. He is organized in the Fengzi Battalion of the Imperial Guard. The youngest is called Qian Dong!"

Chu Huan laughed and said, "Qian Dong? Is Dong a man of great talent?"

"Exactly!"

"It seems that your family hopes that you can become a pillar of talent." Chu Huan stretched out his hand to support Qian Dong, and said, "Qian Dong, do you have an official position in Fengziying?"

"No." Qian Dong scratched his head and said with an embarrassed smile, "The little one is just a soldier...!"

"Then you are now the general of the imperial guards." Chu Huan said solemnly: "When the city was attacked that day, the governor said that the first warrior to climb to the top of the city of Hezhou will be promoted two ranks and rewarded One hundred taels, since you are a soldier, if you have been promoted two ranks in a row, you will be given the position of general, and if you have a hundred taels of gold, within five days, it will definitely be handed over to you!"

Qian Dong couldn't believe it, "My lord, you... are you telling the truth?"

Chu Huan laughed and said, "Do you think Bendu is joking with you?"

Qian Dong knelt down again and said gratefully, "Small... I thank you, Governor...!"

Chu Huan said: "You don't need to thank me, this is what you deserve. You will be rewarded for your meritorious service, and you will be punished for your crimes. If you have made meritorious service today, this governor will definitely reward you. If he commits a crime against you, this governor will not forgive you lightly! "

At this moment, the generals and soldiers of the Chu Army were already cheering. Although they did not receive rewards, Chu Huan clearly rewarded and punished them. Qian Dong was an ordinary soldier, but because of his meritorious service, he was promoted to the rank of General, and was rewarded with a hundred taels of gold. Everyone immediately knew in their hearts that as long as they follow Governor Chu, obey the general's order, and fight bravely, they will not worry about not having the chance to be promoted and rewarded. Everyone's heart is full of enthusiasm, and they only feel that the future is bright.

Chu Huan glanced at the crowd and said with a smile, "You don't have to worry, all the soldiers who attacked the city today will record meritorious service. Those who died will be heavily compensated for their families. Those who have made great achievements in the attack will have their salaries increased for three months. They will be promoted according to their merits!"

Everyone knelt down one after another and said in unison: "Thank you, Governor!"

Such a reward from Chu Huan can be said to be extremely generous. There are really very few generals who treat his subordinates with such clear rewards and punishments. Everyone only thinks that Chu Huan's image is incomparable for a while, even those who surrendered. Unfortunately, I thought to myself that if I followed Chu Huan and belonged to the siege force, I'm afraid I would be rewarded.
