Chapter 44: In an Ambush
Just when Hu Dayou shouted the order to attack, Xun Mou snapped his fingers again, and the soldiers who were in ambush around him rushed from all sides at some point, and in a moment, they had already surrounded Jin Wuwei through the wind and rain.
Jin Wuwei was originally preparing to attack, but he was instantly frightened by the opponent's formation and took two steps back, and then looked back at General Hu Dayou. Hu Dayou has also been bluffed at this moment, it seems that Xun Mou has been prepared, no wonder when he entered the palace just now, all the way was unimpeded, it turned out that there was a traitor who leaked the news, so that the other party surrounded the ambush here.
Hu Dayou didn't have much time to think about how to deal with it, it seemed that this plan was about to fall through, but he still gritted his teeth and ordered again: "The first four battalions attack, and the last four battalions will follow me to break through to the south gate!" ”
At this time, the soldiers of Jin Wuwei got the order, and the 4,000 people of the first four battalions rushed towards Xun Mou frantically, and the last four battalions, under the leadership of Hu Dayou, turned around in unison, and the rear formation changed into the front formation, and the front formation became the rear formation, and went straight to the southern breakthrough.
In an instant, the sound of killing shook the sky, blood splattered, and the first four battalions had just launched the first wave of attacks, and they were shot down by Xun Mou's arrow array. When the first four battalions rushed in front of the opposing archers, hundreds of dragon and tiger guards armed with steel swords rushed out of the house. The two sides fought each other in a short battle, and there was another burst of flesh and blood.
At the same time, Hu Dayou led the other four battalions to break through when most of the casualties were also killed, Hu Dayou bravely in front, holding a bright silver gun, the gun fell in his hand, killing a gap, with hundreds of people behind him, together to kill a bloody road, straight to the south gate. However, Xun Mou's people did not chase after Hu Dayou and others, but turned around and surrounded Hu Dayou's original four battalions. After the guards of the first four battalions saw that the main general had fled to the south gate, most of them had no intention of fighting, and when they were stunned, they were already in a different place, and there were only more than 1,000 people left who were still fighting in trapped beasts.
Xun Mou was a battle-hardened general, knowing that the leader of the rebels had fled at this time, and he was the most vulnerable to his subordinates, so he shouted at the crowd: "Put down your weapons, those who surrender will inevitably die!" ”
Xun Mou's voice fell, and there was an instant silence below, all the soldiers had stopped, and then the sound of weapons hitting the ground came and went, and the soldiers of Jin Wuwei had already placed their weapons on the ground and were captured.
At this time, Hu Dayou had already escaped from the triple palace gate, and he never thought that the palace gate would be wide open all the way, and he would be able to pass so unimpeded, praying in his heart that there would be no more problems on Zhang Kan's side. Seeing that there was only the last palace gate left, I went out to the south gate exit, and then passed the fourth palace gate, and when I was about to reach the last one, I saw that it was close at hand, and suddenly saw the south gate in front of me "boom", the door was closed, Hu Dayou hurriedly pulled the horse bridle, and the team behind him also stopped. Suddenly, there was a "boom" behind them, and everyone looked back at the palace gate behind them, and the door was also closed. The atmosphere condensed, and the soldiers under Hu Dayou looked at each other, and couldn't help but get nervous again, and almost all of them tightened their spears in their hands at the same time.
Hu Dayou looked up and looked around, he and the guards were now trapped in the palace wall, there was no soldier on the city tower, and even the palace lights were not lit. The surroundings were brightly lit, and countless archers suddenly flashed under the lights, and a row of people stood along the surrounding city towers, all with bows and arrows, and the arrows pointed directly at Hu Dayou and others.
At this time, beads of sweat were rolling on Hu Dayou's forehead, and his back was soaked. And his men began to panic. Hu Dayou had already guessed in his heart that Zhang Kan was either wiped out or had surrendered now, it seems that the traitor should be between Zhang Kan and Du Zongting now, or both of them may be traitors, otherwise how could things be revealed so quickly.
At this moment, a tall figure flashed on the city tower in the middle of the south gate, and the distance was far away in the dark night, and the face of the person who came could not be seen clearly, the man shouted at Hu Dayou: "Hu Dayou, surrender quickly, the old man can leave you a whole corpse." ”
Hu Dayou had already judged from this old Shen's voice that this person might be Sun Chongwei, the general of Longhuwei, so he took a step forward and said: "Old general, I just act impartially, and I don't mean anything, I hope the old general will let me wait out of the palace." ”
On the city tower, the gray-haired old general Changsun Chongwei suddenly sneered, "Hu Dayou, you are still quibbling until now. The emperor treats you well, how dare you enter the palace for King Wei? Then he said to a middle-aged man dressed as a general next to him: "General Hou! Show him. ”
When Hu Dayou looked fixedly, the other person standing next to the eldest grandson Chongwei was none other than Hou Zhigui, the general of Yulinwei, but when he saw him holding a black thing, he then picked up his arm and threw it towards him, and the round thing happened to roll down in front of his horse, which turned out to be a bloody human head.
Hou Zhigui shouted loudly: "Hu Dayou, take a good look at what it is?" ”
Hu Dayou immediately took a step forward and picked it up with the silver gun in his hand, and the bloody head was Zhang Kan. Hu Dayou and the soldiers behind him let out an exclamation almost at the same time, "This ......" Hu Dayou sighed, and instantly burst into tears, "Brother Zhang Kan, I hurt you!" ”
The eldest grandson Chongwei angrily pointed at Hu Dayou and said, "Hu Dayou, as long as you surrender now, the old man can protect your whole body." ”
Hu Dayou was powerless to defend at this time, knowing that the general trend had gone, he sighed, "The old general has treated me well, and it is okay to surrender, but the younger generation has only one request." ”
Eldest Sun Chongwei frowned and nodded, "Say it!" The old man did his best! ”
"Junior, I hope you can raise your noble hand and spare the brothers behind me!" Hu Dayou pointed a gun at his subordinates behind him as he spoke, "This matter was planned by the juniors, and they didn't know about it." ”
At this time, the soldiers behind him all looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with tears. And the admiration in the heart of the eldest grandson Chongwei at this moment couldn't help but arise spontaneously, he nodded vigorously with his beard, and replied simply: "Okay!" You can rest assured that since this has nothing to do with them, the old man will definitely intercede in front of the saint. ”
Hu Dayou listened and nodded with satisfaction, he knew that for the sake of the eldest grandson and the old general who had been loyal to the emperor for many years, the emperor would still listen to his request. But at this moment, all the soldiers behind him hugged Hu Dayou, knelt on the ground one after another, and shouted in unison: "My subordinates are willing to follow General Hu to the death." ”
At this moment, Hu Dayou was already in tears, watching the brothers in front of the horse and himself fall to this point, he couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart, "Brothers, you still have your own family, it's not worth it for me Hu Dayou!" The king of Wei treats me like a mountain, so I can have today, so I can't be disloyal to the king of Wei, today I only want to die, but you must live well, since the old general promised us, I believe he will keep his promise. ”
