Zhongli south of the city, the Yue cavalry, who had lost most of them, did not dare to relax, and after running for half an hour, they still sat on their horses and gasped for breath to guard behind them.

As expected, the cavalry did not chase after the cavalry of Xiang Guan won the city, so they took this opportunity to lie on the horse and trim it.

"It's as tired as... Loser! Ben Hou is also today! Mei Li wanted to cry without tears, and he knew that he would stop Xiang Guan for a long time if he set up a little ambush, and regretted that he didn't listen to all his words, so it didn't come to this point.

"Forty thousand horses are invincible to the Chu people, and the traditional leader has not reached 10,000 people, I'm afraid..."

"This battle is that the Marquis of Tai helped the King of Hengshan to defend against the Chu people, Wu Rui... did not send troops and horses to help, so that Taihou responded to the enemy alone. Wu Rui was the head of the Yue people that year! Sensing the change in aura, he quickly interjected.

Mei Kai is famous and short-sighted, and in the eyes of the Negative Emperor, it is much easier to control him than to control other princes. Jiujiang is a large land, even if Mei Li loses the power of Jiujiang, the Chu people can't control Jiujiang, and secretly act in the name of Mei Kai to contain and disturb the Chu State, and then it is easy to accumulate power.

"Wu Rui!" Mei Wei gritted his teeth and scolded angrily, "In order to protect Hengshan, Ben Hou not only greeted Chu alone, but also did not even have any of them, Zou Shao and the two of them persuaded to attack Chu, but he didn't care about it, how could it be reasonable!" ”

"Alas, people's hearts are cold and weak, and they live up to the Taihou."

Negative sighed, secretly shocked that the weak power of Mei Kai's handwriting was so big.

Pengcheng is in the north-central part of the Chu State, the two of the Su family are in the south of the Chu State, and the Chu State and the neighboring countries have no heavy cities, and the danger is guarded. At this moment, the state of Chu still needs to mobilize troops at home.

When I think about it, I can't help but think of my child. Now everything seems to be the source of the Qin envoys' troubles in the Chu State... Pulling a hair and moving his whole body, he couldn't help but look at the man he met in the six cities at that time.

"Although this plan is wonderful, it is also to help the king, if Chu Yue is injured, it will be the time when I will be born again." Secretly rejoicing.

"Most of the traditional leaders have been defeated, and today's westward trip to Hengshan Country will inevitably make Wu Rui give a statement!"

Mei Kai's mind was set and he turned the horse's head to the west.

It was dark, and the tired group stumbled and walked too slowly.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves in front of them suddenly sounded, and a dark silhouette swayed up and down.

"It's... Xiang Guan has intercepted the retreat of our army?! Mei Li exclaimed.

The Yue people's hearts are like ashes, and they are no longer able to fight again.

Hold on to the reins, ready to escape alone.

Shake Wuyu and Hua harmlessly gritted their teeth and stepped forward, "The ministers and others will go to meet the enemy, and the lord will go west from another road!" ”

Without waiting for Mei Kai's order, the two shouted for murder and went straight to the west with the remnants of the army.

Mei Wei squinted and sighed, her body not moving.

"Taihou can't stay here for a long time!" Negative Rush Road.

"What is there to escape? If you want to kill, you will kill. Ben Hou has not yet fought with the Chu soldiers, and tonight he will take revenge on the uncrowned king. Mei Li blinked her eyes lightly, looking at death as if she were home.

Quietly on the side, he finally made up his mind to lead the horse and escape, but seeing that the two sides were not fighting, the two commanders rushed here with the "enemy army".

"Shake it up, Hua is harmless to the enemy?" He guessed and didn't dare to speak out.

When the arrivals were gradual, the leader of the "enemy" army smiled sideways at Mei Kai, "Tsk, Taihou is easy to find." However, this commander guessed correctly, the time has come to this, and Zhongli must have returned to the Chu people. Before Zhongli really saw it. ”

Mei Kai's face twitched, "Your Excellency is really annoying as in the past!" ”

Those who come are exactly what they need.

When the two armies met, the soldiers finally lit the torches in their hands with peace of mind, and when they saw that there were Yue people here, their fear suddenly disappeared, and their hearts were stable.

"Taihou praises, the king knows that there is a war here, and he has sent a special party to help." I don't have to fix my helmet and laugh.

Mei Li saw that the armor was dressed as a Qin person, and she felt disgusted when she thought of Ziying, "Hugh is talking nonsense, Ben Hou is fighting for the King of Hengshan, not the King of Hengshan helping Ben Hou!" ”

"Taihou's words are reasonable~"

You don't have to be too lazy to worry about Mei Kai, the purpose of this trip is just to protect Mei Kai from death, and the existence or loss of Jiujiang has nothing to do with him. According to Wu Rui's intentions, he would let the two of them stay in Jiujiang for a long time to mess with the Chu army, and he couldn't return to the country to communicate with Yelang.

Mei Kai didn't give up, "According to what Benhou can see, Your Excellency only has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, how can you fight against Xiang Guan?!" ”

"The enemy is plotting, not powering. Stay until midnight, and the crown will be defeated. "Needless to say.

Mei Li suddenly felt insulted, "If this is the case, Zhongli will hand it over to Your Excellency." Ben Hou led the soldiers to gallop to the aid of the traditional leader. ”

"Taihou, no." You don't have to ride a horse to stop Mei Kai, who lost her temper, and said with a smile, "The soldiers of Taihou lost the battle, and they should want to take revenge." Taihou only needs to lead the crowd to surround Zhongli, and the follow-up matters can be handed over to the next one. ”

"Humph!" Mei Li flicked her sleeves and glared at Xu Wu angrily, but she still turned around and went north, carrying the smoke and dust.

Before leaving, he also glared at the beard without glancing. Wu Rui sent troops to help, and his calculation just now was ruined.

An hour later, more than 10,000 people of Mei Hong were ambushed in the south of Zhongli City. Under the hatred, the return road is faster than the departure road, and everyone widens their eyes, holding the bow and arrow that they must bring with them in the night, and they are desperately guarding against the Chu army.

The Chu army at the head of the city, who was tortured by traps during the day, yawned again and again, not noticing that someone was ambushing, and did not believe that Mei Kai dared to go and return.

Su Wu led 10,000 people to the west of Zhongli.

Zhongli, not only the handover of Jiujiang and Chu, but also... The place where the water flows.

More than 10,000 people held hammers and shovels, staring at the downstream with their eyes, standing on both sides of the Huaishui, waving their hands vigorously, digging stones and digging soil.

"The Qin people flooded the Liang of Wei, the Yancheng of Chu, and Xiang Guan still had no lesson. This commander reminded the Chu people of the past! Dig! "Don't smile evilly.

The soldiers did not dare to slack off, and they chiseled down with a hammer.

The wide Huaishui was gradually dug out of a small tributary, which slowly flowed to Zhongli...

The more people sweat like rain, the branch road is getting deeper, and the water is getting bigger.

"Commander, the king only ordered us to save Mei Kai, and did not let me wait to retreat from the enemy." During the labor, the soldiers asked while chiseling.

"Although you can retreat from the enemy by doing so, the people of Zhongli will be killed. The affliction of the people is not in the name of the king. ”

He jumped into it, dug with the soldiers, and chuckled, "What happened tonight was done by Mei Hong. What does it have to do with Hengshan? ”

Everyone suddenly understood their meaning, and the original color of pity gradually turned into a bad smile, and they increased their strength in their hands.

In the city, Xiang Guan was sleeping on the spot next to his war horse.

The scenes in the day are always echoing in front of me, tearing off their own flesh and skin, seriously wounding soldiers who died of blood loss, war horses that died of madness and grazing the ground, subordinates who were pierced in traps...

Every time I thought of it, the battle-hardened commander felt the urge to vomit. In the past three years, I have killed countless people, and I haven't felt this way for a long time.

It is necessary to lie down with the mount like the first killing, in order to calm the restless mind.

"Mei Hong... Tomorrow I swear to kill Mei Kai..."

Xiang Guan muttered in his mouth, and for some reason there was a sound of water flowing in his ears, all of which was regarded as the wave of Huaishui, and he didn't take it to heart. The gurgling water can also make it easier to fall asleep.

The sound of running water and the smell of the horse's body made Xiang Guan's body relax and gradually lose consciousness.

I don't know how long it took, Xiang Guan only felt that the mountains were shaking, and he struggled to open his sleepy eyes, and saw his subordinates appear in front of him with a panicked face.

"What's the matter?!" Xiang Guan said with anger.

"It's not good, Huaishui is dug by people, and it goes straight to Zhongli! The west gate has been broken, and the water is pouring in! The subordinate shouted.

"Mei Hong! Mei Kai really dared to go and come back! Xiang Guan shook his head, "Pass the order, go out of the city and go south to kill the enemy!" ”

The subordinates were about to leave, but Xiang Guan suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Wait!" Mei Kai has been defeated in the daytime, and there must be a trick to return this time, and he will go out of the city from the north! ”

"Command!"

In less than half an hour, the well-trained cavalry of the Chu State all assembled, opened the north gate and fled.

The bloodshot necklace was the first to rush out of the city.

Wow -

In the sound of neat horses' hooves, a voice that made Chu Jun's heart palpitate sounded again.

Xiang Guan couldn't believe it, and looked down at the horse's hooves, the long tip of the thistle terrestris had sunk into the horse's paw and pierced into the flesh.

"Again?!"

The crown roared, and before the horse went crazy, he jumped behind it. The army all stopped, and under the light of the torches, they stared at the bloody death of the commander's mount.

Not only is it heartbroken and loves horses, Xiang Guan can't figure out when the ambush here was set up, and it is clear that it has not come at the time.

Mei Kai fled south, there shouldn't be any more such thing!

In the night ahead, Ren Ni led hundreds of knights to cover their mouths and snicker.

"Dare to hunt down Ben Ling Yin? Let you taste the bitterness today! ”

"Mr. Ren has a high opinion and knows that the Chu soldiers will go out of the city again in the north." Chivalrous flattery.

Ren Ni smiled silently, if he hadn't been able to sail to the south bank of Huaishui at that time, Zhongli would have been ambushed by him.

"Necklace! Lao Tzu is here! Ren Ni opened his hands and put them to his mouth and shouted.

Xiang Guanqi's face was pale, but he didn't dare to catch up, "Return to the city quickly!" Flee from the south! ”

The rear changed to the front and entered the city, and the Huaishui had flooded in the city, and Xiang Guan was impatient, but the cavalry moved slowly.

Before Xiang Guan could get angry, the soldiers in the rear shouted, "Commander, the people of the city have fled from the water." ”

"No matter what they do, dare to stop the Da Chu soldiers and kill them!"

"Command!"

The people of Zhongli, who were holding children in their arms and carrying coils, collided with the Chu army without paying attention, and with a halberd swing, they lay sideways in the flowing water.

The family griefed, hugged the corpse and cried, and had been beheaded by the people in the rear.

The horse galloped on the corpse and finally reached the south of Zhongli City.

The army breathed a sigh of relief, bowed its head and gasped.

The long-awaited Shake Wuyu and Hua harmlessly waved their hands violently, and in the night... Arrows rained down.
