Outside Changsha City, Huang Chaoxuan's army was stationed here, and when the news of He Tengjiao's killing came, Huang Chaoxuan had already been frightened.

He had heard of Hou Xuanyan's name more than once, but he never thought that he would have anything to do with him.

But He Tengjiao was dead, and Huang Chaoxuan ordered his subordinates to strengthen vigilance. Although he didn't have the guts to take revenge, he was also afraid that Hou Xuanyan would face the butcher's knife at him. But although he had already prepared for the worst, he didn't expect Hou Xuanyan to arrive tonight.

The army of the Fengzi Battalion was trained by Xia Wanchun, and as early as Suzhou had just recovered them, they followed Xia Wanchun to fight in the south and the north. Bolo was killed outside the city of Suzhou, and they were on the city tower; Thousands of miles to pursue Hong Chengchou and annihilate 100,000 Qing soldiers; Cremating Changzhou, collecting Jinling, they are also there. Victory after victory and training day and night have long honed them into an elite army.

The black-clothed Xuanjia became the best disguise in the night, but Hou Xuanyan ordered to light the torch.

In Huang Chaoxuan's camp, everyone was terrified, and it was impossible to tell how many people came by relying on torches in the dark night.

Hou Xuan gestured that Qin He, the captain of the guard, stepped forward and whispered a few words to him, Qin He hesitated slightly, and then rode forward.

Hou Xuanyan asked him to go to persuade him to surrender, which Qin He didn't expect, Hou Xuanyan was furious that day, and Qin He was by his side. According to Qin He's past experience, Lord Commander would not accept the surrender of this army.

Qin He rode to the front of the camp, and the soldiers in the Huang Chaoxuan camp had long lost their dominance when they bullied the small people, Qin He said loudly: "He Tengjiao is extremely evil, and he has been corrected by my family commander, go and tell Huang Chaoxuan, if he knows the current affairs, come and surrender quickly." ”

The soldiers in the Huang camp rushed to Huang Chaoxuan's camp tent, and happened to meet Huang Chaoxuan who came in a hurry on the way. When Huang Chaoxuan heard that he was going to surrender himself, he was overjoyed, he had no loyalty to He Tengjiao, this kind of military ruffian did not have any psychological burden to surrender to foreign races for the sake of interests.

Huang Chaoxuan hurried to the front of the camp, and his adjutant said worriedly: "General, be careful of deception. ”

Huang Chaoxuan stopped, gasped, and said: "What you said is reasonable, it is said that this kid is extremely cunning, we can't be gullible." ”

Huang Chaoxuan didn't expect that he was not gullible, but someone was gullible. Qin He shouted in front of the camp to persuade him to surrender, and the person who heard it most clearly was none other than the men and horses guarding in front of the camp. Hou Xuanyan did not expect Huang Chaoxuan to believe it, and his purpose in asking Qin He to persuade him to surrender was to paralyze these defenders.

The soldiers and horses of the Huang family in front of the camp were relieved when they heard the persuasion of the cavalry who came to surrender. The tense nerves also relaxed.

Xia Wanchun watched coldly, and Tima came to Hou Xuanyan's side, Hou Xuanyan's eyes stared, and he glanced at him. Xia Wanchun comprehended, raised the command flag in his hand, and ordered the attack in the unique flag language of the Fengzi battalion.

The five thousand elite horsemen were like a torrent, divided into three routes of soldiers and horses from the middle, and entered the yellow camp from the left and right wings and the center. The camp was stationed on the outskirts of the city, deprived of the protection of the city walls, and was powerless to resist the onslaught of the cavalry. The soldiers and horses of the Fengzi battalion threw the torches burning in their hands and set fire to the tents along the way.

With the steel knife in hand, mercilessly slaughtering the enemy in front of him, Huang Chaoxuan was taken aback. said: "Didn't you persuade you to surrender, this is our people who did it first?" ”

The adjutant groaned, stomped his feet and said, "General, you've been fooled!" ”

Huang Chaoxuan was also a ruthless man, he rode a war horse, left behind the battalion of more than 8,000 people, and was about to flee from behind.

Fighting in the middle of the night, once one side loses the flag of the commander, it is a great disaster. The soldiers were at a loss and could only wait for the slaughter.

Hou Xuanyan said loudly, don't let Huang Chaoxuan go, Xia Wanchun beside him smiled and said: "Don't worry, no one can escape." ”

It turned out that Xia Wanchun had secretly arranged manpower on all sides to eliminate the fish that slipped through the net and the enemies who wanted to escape.

As soon as Huang Chaoxuan escaped from the camp, he was blocked by a team of more than a dozen knights. Huang Chaoxuan said loudly: "A few strong men spare my life, and I will have a lot of money to thank you." ”

The knight at the head sneered: "Forgive me for being a deserter, what a big tone, and bribing your grandfather of the Fengzi Battalion." ”

Huang Chaoxuan was extremely scared in his heart, if the people of Changsha Mansion saw his appearance, they would never have imagined that this was the Huang Chaoxuan who bullied men and women and was invincible.

"A few strong men, I am not an ordinary deserter, I am Huang Chaoxuan. You let me go, and I give you money, and I have silver. ”

The eyes of the cavalry lit up, and the leader shouted: "Brothers, the opportunity for meritorious service has come!" Xia Tou'er asked us to do this cleaning work, but I never expected that we would be able to fulfill this credit, and grabbing the straw bale in front of us was the first credit tonight. Haha..."

"The brothers inside are slashing and slashing happily, but I can't imagine that the first merit was pulled out by us, haha, this is fate."

"The opportunity for my brother to be promoted has finally arrived!"

Huang Chaoxuan looked at the rampant smiles of more than a dozen people in front of him, and a sense of unwillingness welled up in his heart, and he exerted a ruthless spirit and pulled his sword forward.

More than a dozen people smiled and stepped forward, cutting him off his horse, and the squad leader shouted: "Don't hack to death, capture alive is more credit." ”

...

Huang Chaoxuan's camp was on fire, and the county commanders of the surrounding small counties never expected Hou Xuan's actions to be so fast. When he saw the fire rising, he hurried to help the war with 100 officials from the county. The sight in front of him made him dumbfounded.

Under the light of the fire, this place is like daylight, Huang Chaoxuan is tied to a pillar, and below is a pile of firewood. His 8,000 men had already been slaughtered.

Hou Xuanyan looked at this group of officials who came in a hurry, and led them to the county order, and he was a little moved. These people are all dressed in green clothes and linen, without the slightest armor, and they dare to come to help in the battle with a breath of blood. Behind them, there were some people who came with them, with farm tools and sticks in their hands. It can be seen that Huang Chaoxuan harmed the people here deeply.

Hou Xuanyan's heart warmed, and he said softly: "What's your name?" ”

The county commander stepped forward respectfully and said, "The next official is the Xiangtan county commander, Hu Zhiyun." ”

Hou Xuanyan smiled: "Yes, it's a character." Then you send people back to gather the people to put out the fire, and the grain looted by this guy will be transported back to the county and returned to the people. I still have a few injured brothers here, you can take them back to the county to take care of them, and when the injuries are healed, they will be sent to Changsha. ”

Hu Zhiyun's face was overjoyed, and the people behind him had already begun to kneel and kowtow. Hou Xuanyan looked at this scene, and felt very uncomfortable. These people really don't want much, as long as they don't persecute them, or even don't harm them too much, they can get their gratitude. It's a pity that this meager wish can't be sought in the troubled times at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

This is an era that is rotten to the bone!

Hou Xuanyan looked around, lit a fire on the spot to cook, and the soldiers and horses of the Fengzi battalion that had been used for dinner had already been packed up.

He took a torch, walked to Huang Chaoxuan's side, and scolded: "You dog thief is also raised by your mother's father, and you eat whole grains, why don't you have a little heart?" ”

Huang Chaoxuan's mouth was gagged, and he whimpered and begged for mercy.

Hou Xuanyan handed the torch in his hand to Hu Zhiyun and said, "In front of the people, burn this bastard." ”

Hu Zhiyun's eyes were misty, and he nodded heavily.

Hou Xuanyan got on the horse and said loudly: "There are three more places tonight, we are full of food and drink, let's continue." Brethren, are you full? ”

The Wind Word Camp laughed and shouted in unison, "It's full! ”

"Then follow me, let's continue to kill!"

The five thousand men galloped and soon disappeared.

Hu Zhiyun looked at the place where they disappeared, with infinite longing in his eyes. His eyes were moist, he wiped away a handful of old tears, and said to himself with a smile: "We Han people still have such generals, and there are such soldiers, we can't die!" ”
