Hu Zongmao's face was ugly, but he still tried his best to restrain his emotions, staring at Zhang Shuyan who was walking slowly, and said: "If it weren't for the envoy sent by General Zhang, Hezhou City might not be able to break through."

"Messenger?" Of course Zhang Shuyan understood what Hu Zongmao was referring to, and said with a faint smile, "The old man never sent someone, but He Kui, who you sent, has already explained the reason of the matter clearly. General Hu, speaking of it, you are also a battlefield." Veteran, Chu Huan's small tricks can deceive you? Huang Yutan didn't bring the old man's letter, how can you just believe his words?"

Hu Zongmao took a step forward and said: "Now is not the time to argue about this matter. General Zhang, the Chu army has already followed. You and I should quickly discuss how to deal with the pursuers."

Zhang Shuyan sighed: "General Hu, you didn't defend Hezhou well, but your Jinzhou suffered the disaster of swords and soldiers...!" Fu Xu smiled and said: "But you, General Hu, are not mediocre. Since you fought against Chu Huan One battle, the Chu army is probably already seriously injured right now? He wants to attack the city of Lanyi, and he has to go through the Langya Valley. If he has the ability to break through the Langya Valley, it will not be too late to discuss how to deal with it."

Hu Zongmao shook his head, seeing that Zhang Shuyan was only a few steps away from him, his body suddenly tightened, and at that moment, Hu Zongmao's whole body was like a murderer who was suddenly enraged. He had rushed towards Zhang Shuyan's group of people. Before everyone recovered, Hu Zongmao had already shouted sharply: "Kill them quickly...!"

Uncle Zhang Yanzheng didn't know what Hu Zongmao was yelling at. Seeing Hu Zongmao rushing over, he thought that Hu Zongmao was about to attack him. He was startled, but suddenly he saw a shadow in midair, several figures, like eagles and vultures in the sky Usually, when you descended from the sky, you heard a cold and stern voice: "Do it!"

The generals around Zhang Shuyan were stunned for a while, Zhang Shuyan and Zhang Han and his son were not stupid, they immediately understood what was going on, they had already drawn their swords, Zhang Han had already shouted: "They are the Chu army!"

Zhang Shuyan wanted to retreat, but it was too late, a figure of the other party rushed over like lightning, extremely fast, he was only a few steps away from Hu Zongmao just now, and the guards around Hu Zongmao were all closely following Hu Zongmao, At this time, he shot suddenly, the distance was quite close, and the opponent's martial arts were really good, before Zhang Shuyan took a step back, he felt a blur in front of his eyes, and a hand reached out to grab his neck.

"Don't hurt my father!" Zhang Han snarled, he was the closest to Zhang Shuyan, he drew his knife quickly, and slashed at the figure with his knife. Zhang Han has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his martial arts are not weak, so this knife is also very sharp.

The figure was holding a knife in his hand. When Zhang Han swung the knife to chop, he didn't look at it. He waved the knife with one hand to meet him, while the other hand was still grabbing Zhang Shuyan's neck.

There was only a "choking" sound, Zhang Han's saber met the man's swords, and there was a crisp sound, Zhang Han only felt his tiger's mouth go numb, and when he wanted to change the saber again, he felt a figure pounced on his side. come over.

Zhang Han only felt the cold wind hit him, and knew that if he didn't return to rescue, the consequences would be disastrous, but he dodged his body sideways, and turned his sword to meet the opponent who was attacking him.

Hu Zongmao was like a mad wolf, desperately trying to get behind the crowd behind Zhang Shuyan. After only a few steps, he felt a sudden strong wind behind him. The knee of the leg was in severe pain, and he couldn't support it. He fell to the ground and looked at it enduring the severe pain, only to find that an arrow had penetrated his thigh and knee.

The group of guards behind Hu Zongmao had already rushed over like wolves at this time. Their goal was simple and clear, and they were heading directly at the Zhang family and Hu Zongmao. Behind Zhang Shuyan must also be battle-tested generals, and he was startled for a moment. In an instant, they realized that things had changed. They all shouted sharply and rushed over with their swords drawn. Some people rushed over to guard Hu Zongmao when they saw Hu Zongmao fell to the ground. Two people came out, and they were the guards who came with Hu Zongmao. These two guards each held a knife, one was on Hu Zongmao's throat, the other was on Hu Zongmao's chest, and the other said in a deep voice: "Who dares to come up, Kill him!"

Zhang Shuyan saw that one hand was already grabbing his neck, he was indeed a veteran who had experienced many battles, he was not panicked, one hand had already been raised to pinch the man's wrist, although he was over half a hundred years old, But the movement was not slow, and he was about to clasp the opponent's wrist when he saw it, and he was pleasantly surprised in his heart, knowing that once he grasped the opponent's pulse, he would also catch the opponent's life, but he saw a blur in front of him, that hand unexpectedly It disappeared in an instant, and in the midst of horror, I felt that my wrist was tightened, and the other party unexpectedly pinched my wrist like a ghost.

Zhang Shuyan's heart sank, and he tried hard to break free with his arms, but he was startled when he saw a flash of a knife in front of him, but the blade didn't look down at his head, but rested on his neck, and a voice He said lightly: "Don't move, move a little, and cut your throat."

Zhang Han blocked the enemy who attacked him with a knife, but a sweep was under his feet, sweeping towards the lower body of the man, the man had already jumped up, and Lin Kong slashed at Zhang Han again.

Zhang Han reacted quickly, he swung his saber to meet him, half of the saber was raised, Zhang Han's color had already changed, only then did he realize that the saber he had used for many years had actually been broken into two pieces, the blade had been broken in half , only the hilt and half of the blade remained, this shock was no small matter, I already thought in my heart, it must be the opponent who attacked my father just now, and my own sword was cut off by the opponent's sword.

In the confrontation between the enemy and the enemy, there is no hesitation. Zhang Han has half the knife in his hand, and he is already stunned. It is this hesitation, but it is too late to dodge, and the opponent's big knife has already been chopped off.

Zhang Han's soul flew away, but there was nothing he could do. He closed his eyes and waited for death.

He only felt a chill on his forehead, and the opponent's blade was already attached to his forehead. He practiced martial arts with his father since he was a child, and he also fought in the battlefield and killed many enemies. crack.

I just waited for a while, but I didn't feel the pain. I wondered if death was not painful. I couldn't help opening my eyes, only to find that the person in front of me didn't cut his head in half. It was obviously abnormal, and it was barely sticking to his forehead, so he withdrew his strength, as long as he went down a little, flesh and blood injuries were inevitable. [

That man was Hu Zongmao who accepted the injured general, his head was wrapped with a bandage, and even one eye was wrapped with a bandage. Looking at his other eye at this moment, it was as sharp as a knife.

The generals of Jinzhou were going to rush up to fight, but it happened very suddenly, and the battle ended in an instant. In a short while, Zhang's father and son had become prisoners under the knife, and Hu Zongmao was already under control at this time Huh, Hu Zongmao was shot by an arrow, and he had already looked at the guard following him, but saw a very plain-looking guard, who had already taken out his bow and arrow at some point, and the arrow must have belonged to the simple-looking guard shoot out.

Seeing that Zhang's father and son were restrained, how could the Jinzhou generals dare to step forward? Just as they shouted, the Jinzhou soldiers on the edge of the city also rushed over, surrounding Hu Zongmao and the others in the middle, with three floors inside and three floors outside. , airtight.

Some generals have already shouted sharply: "Release General Zhang and the young general, or you will die in the place where you will be buried."

The one who captured Zhang Shuyan was an ordinary-looking young guard, but the knife in his hand was unusually weird, and his whole body was blood red, as if soaked in blood.

The young guard glanced around at the Jinzhou soldiers, and turned Zhang Shuyan back in his hands. The two guards had quickly held Zhang Shuyan, and then the guard put away the blood-red knife and said lightly: "Before we die in the place of burial, I will I can assure you that your General Zhang and Major General will be killed before us, if you don't believe it, you can give it a try!"

All the soldiers in Jinzhou looked at each other in blank dismay, Zhang and his son were in the hands of each other, no one dared to act rashly.

The shock in Zhang Shuyan's eyes hadn't dissipated yet, he looked slowly at Hu Zongmao who was lying on the ground, and said coldly, "Hu Zongmao, what are you doing?"

Hu Zongmao's face was ashen, and he sighed: "Zhang Shuyan, until now, you still don't know what happened?"

"It turns out that you have already surrendered to Chu Huan." Zhang Shuyan clenched his fists, his eyes showing resentment, "How dare you bring someone here to entrap this old man, you who eat inside and out?"

Hu Zongmao said: "Zhang Shuyan, you have always claimed to be shrewd, are you convinced today?"

"I'm going to tear you to pieces." Zhang Shuyan couldn't imagine that the group of guards brought by Hu Zongmao were all dressed up as Chu soldiers. He fell into the hands of Chu soldiers without a battle. Zhang Shuyan only felt that Unspeakably useless, but the anger on his face gradually disappeared, and he became calm, and he said to the young guard who captured him: "You really have extraordinary skills, I admire you very much, but you followed the wrong person, Mo Keep going wrong."

"Oh?" The young guard smiled and said, "Why did General Zhang say that?"

"Chu Huan captured Hezhou, so what?" Zhang Shuyan sighed, and said earnestly: "He won't be in the northwest for long, Beishan and Tianshan have formed an alliance, and Governor Zhu and Governor Xiao will join forces to deal with Chu Huan. You are all elite warriors. Why bother with Chu Huan? If you release this old man, this old man assures you that you will be promoted to a higher rank, and from now on, you will be guaranteed prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life."

The young guard smiled and said, "General Zhang's terms are very attractive!"

"This old man always keeps his promises." Uncle Zhang said solemnly, "You have seen it yourself, this place is all old man's people, if you can't get out of Lanyi City, do you want to all die here, or do you want to live in glory and wealth for the rest of your life? Good choice?"

The young guard sighed: "General Zhang, you almost convinced me."

But Hu Zongmao's voice was heard not far away, and he said with a trace of sarcasm: "Zhang Shuyan, don't work in vain. Even if you can persuade the world to betray Chu Huan, you can't persuade him!"

Zhang Shuyan frowned and said, "Why?"

"Because he is Chu Huan." Hu Zongmao said sarcastically, "Can you persuade him to betray himself?"
