And when the people below saw that the people above had begun to flee for their lives, they thought that the battle had collapsed, so they stopped climbing up, and all climbed down.

Bao Ji's side is still like this, and after Jiang Yong's side also forced back the rebels of one cloud ladder, the rebels of the two cloud ladders retreated.

The remaining rebels of the Yuwen family saw their companions running away, General Qing died, and they no longer had the will to fight, and they all retreated down the ladder.

And the Southern Expeditionary Army didn't want to flee, but the Yuwen family's army ran away, and if they stayed on the city wall, they could only die in vain, so a big rout began.

The rebels on the city wall scrambled to climb the ladder, and from time to time someone stumbled or was pushed off the wall by their companions and fell to their deaths.

And the defenders will not do anything to watch them flee, and when they fight the poor people who have fled from the desert, these defenders are even more brave.

They picked up their weapons and slaughtered the rebels desperately.

Many desperate rebels had no way to escape because they did not grab the ladder, and many people chose to jump off the city wall to escape in despair.

The result is often that the talent has just jumped off the city wall, and the good thing is that you can still hear its screams coming from under the city wall.

If you're unlucky, you don't make a sound after you jump.

"It's all my big Chu boy, who should open up the territory and defend the country, but because of the selfish interests of your families, you have wasted your lives in this kind of place."

Hou Shigui didn't know if he was saying this to Yu Wenhao or to himself.

After finishing speaking, he carefully put away Yu Wenhao's letter and ordered:

"Give it to the cavalry under the city, and let them send it to the Southern Expeditionary Army."

When Kong Jun heard this, he was stunned, and did not reach out to take the letter, but said with some hesitation:

"Commander, Ti Cai...... Ti Riding has ...... Not at all. ”

"Whoa!" With a crisp sound, Hou Shigui didn't hold back his emotions, and suddenly crumpled the letter in his hand into a ball.

Before, his attention had always been on Yu Wenhao and the city wall, and he didn't pay any attention to the actions outside the city.

So he didn't know anything about the annihilation of the cavalry:

"What's going on?"

With a question, he strode to the edge of the wall and looked out.

In addition to the rebels who retreated in a hurry, there was a pile of corpses piled up into a hill in the center of the battlefield.

These corpses belonged to both men and horses.

Most of them were dressed in the uniforms of the Southern Expeditionary Army, mixed with the corpses of some heavily armored horsemen.

Kong Jun hurriedly followed Hou Shigui and explained:

"Before, the cavalry was surrounded and intercepted by the rebels, and there was no way to escape, Lu Xiaozi led the cavalry to break through the siege three times, but failed three times, but was surrounded more and more tightly by those fearless southern expeditionary troops......"

"Lu boy, what's wrong?"

Although he had guessed the result, Hou Shigui still wanted to hear it with his own ears.

Kong Jun pursed his lips and said with some bitterness:

"It's too far away to see clearly, but I can confirm that no one has escaped......"

"Hoo ......"

Hou Shigui took a long breath and tried to keep his mind at peace.

Lu boy...... How should I explain to Uncle Lu?

Since the establishment of Jinyiwei, there are only 500 Tiqi in total, and 200 of them are staying in Beijing to deal with emergencies and cannot be mobilized.

So there are only these three hundred in total.

They are all elites of a hundred battles transferred back from the border army......

Outcome...... But it was all folded on this rebellion that should not have happened.

Seeing that Hou Shigui's face was not good, Kong Jun said:

"Fortunately, after this battle, the rebels' cavalry also suffered most of the casualties, and they will not be able to fight again, so the commander, I will wear brocade clothes and guard out of the city to deliver the letter."

Seeing that Hou Shigui nodded, Kong Jun hurried down the city tower.

And Hou Shigui stared at the small hilly-like corpses for a long time before turning around and walking back to Yu Wenhao's side:

"Three hundred horsemen, all of them are veterans of a hundred battles, the elite of the elite.

I don't know how many people have died and how many wars have been experienced before such a person can be cultivated.

Such a person should have served the country on the battlefield and defended the territory, but the result was ......"

Speaking of this, Hou Shigui looked at Yu Wenhao with cold eyes:

"The family, the moth of the country, Hou swears here, one day, he will uproot you and return the world to the hands of the world!!"

Yu Wenhao was still grieving because of Qingfu's death, and when he heard Hou Shigui's words, he seemed to have heard some big joke.

Want to uproot the world's families? Return the world to the world's manpower?

If it weren't for Yu Wenhao's inability to laugh at this time, and his body was tightly tied, he would probably have laughed on the spot.

This world, since Emperor Xuanyuan, from ancient times to the present, is the world of the family!

Even if he Hou Shigui is capable, what if he destroys a few families? In turn, after he grows stronger, won't he and his loyal subordinates become a new family?

He didn't know that the plan in Hou Shigui's heart was to change the chaos of the family's politics, so as to give poor students more opportunities to join the court.

After saying this, Hou Shigui turned his head to look at Yu Wenhao, and said softly:

"Let's start with your Yuwen family."

To eradicate the family and carry out the imperial examination system, Hou Shigui has never dared to play.

Because once you take this move, you will be truly the enemy of the world! No one will tolerate themselves, even those poor families may be bewitched by the family to target themselves.

Therefore, Hou Shigui's previous thought was that before he had absolute strength, he must not take this move.

But now, watching Lu Xiaozi and the three hundred horses die in the selfishness of the family, Hou Shigui finally realized.

Strength is not enough at any time.

Maybe you think that tomorrow's strength is enough, but tomorrow there will be a stronger enemy, wait for the day after tomorrow?

What if a stronger enemy emerges the day after tomorrow?

Day after day, year after year, even if he becomes an emperor, his strength may not be enough.

Otherwise, how could Yang He be bullied like this by those big families? can only rely on themselves, an outsider from Xiling, to balance them.

Therefore, sooner rather than later, today, Hou and your family are incompatible!

"Send a few more people, and it is extremely important to find Lu Xingan's body."

After saying this to Kong Heng beside him, Hou Shigui walked to the side of the city tower and shouted to Xiang Xu in the city:

"The Yuwen family is extremely evil, the crime is unforgivable, all assets, all the assets, all the old items, and pull these people to the torture room and hand them over to Mr. Wang, and interrogate them well!"

"Whoa!"

As soon as Xiang Xu surrendered his hand, he raised his hand and beckoned the surrounding Jinyi guards to escort the Yuwen family back to the torture room.

However, Xiang Xu did not follow, but walked up to the city wall and stood beside Hou Shigui:

"Childe, I'm afraid the rebels won't give up, so let me protect you."

Seeing Xiang Xu's calm appearance, Hou Shigui suddenly recalled the first time the young man in fresh clothes and angry horses met him on the road outside the Hou Mansion.
