Hu Zongmao gave an order, Deputy General Yao and other generals were immediately ecstatic, and the secretary He Kui was very anxious, and persuaded again: "General, it's late at night, the enemy situation is unknown, it is not appropriate to send troops, please think twice!" ”

"When it was dawn, Chu Huan would either disappear, or he would be taken to the general by Zhang Shuyan." Hu Zongmao said angrily: "What kind of enemy situation is unknown? None of them are blind, the Chu army retreated, can't you see it. He pulled out his saber and said in a deep voice: "Needless to say, Vice General Yao, pass the order, the other three gates, close the city gate, no matter who approaches, shoot immediately, until the main gate is ......!" Glancing at the lieutenant generals and generals, he finally looked at He Kui, and said: "He Kui, the main gate is defending, and the general will be handed over to you, Chen Shu, you stay, obey He Kui's orders, and guard the main gate with Secretary He." ”

An adjutant general immediately said reluctantly: "General, the last general is willing to follow the general out of the city and attack the Chu army, although he has no regrets!" ”

"Needless to say, let you stay in the city, if Ben will win, it will be a great achievement for you." Hu Zongmao didn't want to talk nonsense, and said to He Kui: "Ben will leave five hundred people for you, stick to the main gate, and don't open the city gate unless Ben will return." ”

He Kui saw that Hu Zongmao had made up his mind, and knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he could only give up his hand and say: "The general will go to war, and I hope to be cautious and wait for the general to triumph smoothly!" ”

Hu Zongmao nodded, and ordered his generals to order the troops, he saw that the Chu army camp was already destroyed by people, and the east fire was getting farther and farther, and there was a faint sound of fighting there, knowing that he couldn't wait any longer, and it was too late to mobilize the guards of the other gates, fortunately, the main force of the Xunzi battalion was concentrated at the main gate, and he ordered the main force of three thousand at the moment, leaving hundreds of soldiers to He Kui, opening the city gate, and seeing that Huang Yutan was still leading people outside the city, Deputy General Yao and others had taken the lead in urging the horse forward, and said loudly: "Get out of the way!" ”

Huang Yutan was Hengma, his face showed displeasure, and he said loudly: "General Hu, what are you doing?" Do you want to break your agreement with General Zhang? ”

Hu Zongmao smiled coldly and said: "Mr. Huang, I'm really sorry, the general has never promised Zhang Shuyan any conditions, Chu Huan's soldiers committed Hezhou, Hezhou is the place where the general is guarded, Zhang Shuyan led the army into the ground guarded by the general without the consent of the general, and broke the general's clever strategy, and he will trouble him again when he turns back." ”

"General Hu, you ...... You're going back on your word. Huang Yutan was anxious, "You went out of the city so rashly, are you ...... Aren't you worried that Chu Huan will send people around to attack Hezhou City? Pointing to the dense soldiers and horses behind Hu Zongmao, "The general will take the main force away, Hezhou City is empty, once there are soldiers to attack, the consequences will be unimaginable, and please ask General Hu to think about the overall situation, don't send troops, Chu Huan's side, just hand it over to General Zhang." ”

Hu Zongmao said sharply: "Huang Yutan, Ben Jiang has already given you enough face, if you are long-winded, Hugh blame Ben will turn his face ruthlessly!" ”

Huang Yutan was in front of him, did not give way, and said continuously: "General Hu, please think twice, you ......!" ”

Vice General Yao had already said in a deep voice: "Archers prepare!" ”

The archers in the back immediately bent their bows and arrows, aiming at Huang Yutan and his party, Huang Yutan was helpless, and retreated to the side, Hu Zongmao did not hesitate anymore, waved his knife and ordered, "The whole army listens to the order of this general and chases Chu Huan, but there are those who capture Chu Huan alive, the bounty is five hundred taels, the official is promoted to three levels, and those who get Chu Huan's head will be rewarded with three hundred taels, and the official will be promoted to two levels, brothers, follow me!" ”

The main officers and soldiers of the 3,000 Xunzi Battalion, following behind Hu Zongmao, like a long dragon in the night, lit torches, and quickly pursued in the direction where the sound of fighting came.

Hu Zongmao knew that the night was misty, coupled with the pursuit of the Jinzhou soldiers, the Chu army would definitely not be able to run fast, but he was anxious in his heart, he only felt that the whole body was extremely excited, although he was cautious in doing things, but if he really wanted to appear on the battlefield, he was also like a murderer, and he even imagined the pleasure of his blade slashing at the enemy at this time.

Some people are afraid of killing, some people are good at killing, and Hu Zongmao is the latter.

Hu Zongmao led the army out of the city, when the last soldier came out of the city gate, the city gate rattled, He Kui did not let Huang Yutan and the hundreds of cavalry led by him enter the city, but just hung them outside the city.

Huang Yutan frowned, looked up at the city, and asked loudly, "Secretary He, do you want us to feast on the wind and sand outside the city?" ”

He Kui was expressionless, and said loudly at the head of the city: "Mr. Huang, He has always admired you, but public and private cannot be sandwiched together, General Hu handed over the main gate defense to He, and has ordered that unless General Hu returns to the city, no one is allowed to enter the city, so he can only aggrieve Mr. Huang to wait outside the city for the time being, if it goes well, General Hu will soon be able to return triumphantly, and then He will apologize to Mr. Huang!" ”

Huang Yutan sighed and said, "General Hu handed over the main gate to you, and sure enough, he didn't choose the wrong person." ”

"Mr. has won the prize." He Kui's eyes turned to the east, watching Hu Zongmao lead the army away and drift away, his brows narrowed slightly, and a look of worry appeared on his face.

Hu Zongmao led the army to chase after the sound, the sound came from the wind, it seemed that it was not too far away, and the little fire in the distance seemed to be able to catch up soon, but if it really wanted to catch up, it was always a distance away.

There were only a few hundred cavalry in the Xunzi battalion, most of them were infantry, and although Hu Zongmao was anxious, he could not abandon the main infantry, and only led the cavalry to chase after him.

"General, it seems that the Chu army is really scattered, and the speed of escape is so fast." Vice General Yao followed closely behind Hu Zongmao, watching the firelight in the distance move rapidly eastward, his eyes were full of excitement, it seemed that a group of wolves were chasing a group of sheep who were desperate and running for their lives, "But they can't escape far, we must take Chu Huan's head." ”

Hu Zongmao led the army to chase after him, and in one breath he chased out more than twenty miles, and the sound of fighting and shouting in front of him was still heard, but Hu Zongmao's heart suddenly had a strange feeling, which made him a little uneasy.

"General, they seem to be scattered." An adjutant general beside him reminded, "Look, general, there are fires in the northeast and southeast......!" ”

Hu Zongmao slowed down his horse, and sure enough, he saw that although the Chu army was fleeing to the east, it had obviously been divided into two groups of men and horses to flee for their lives, one to the southeast and the other to the northeast.

"Where is Chu Huan?" Someone immediately asked.

Vice General Yao had already said to Hu Zongmao: "General, we also have to divide the troops into two ways, please give the last general a group of men, and the last general will chase him to the northeast, as long as Chu Huan is over there, even if the last general snatches it from Zhang Shuyan, he will snatch Chu Huan's head." ”

"Division?" Hu Zongmao hesitated.

Vice General Yao said hurriedly: "General, we can't hesitate, we don't know which way Chu Huan is on, and we must not let go of any ......!" ”

Hu Zongmao hesitated, although the Chu army was defeated and retreated, with Zhang Shuyan's reinforcements, Hu Zongmao knew in his heart that Chu Huan had nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses under his hands, and there were many people, although he brought out 3,000 elite soldiers, but the number was still far less than that of the Chu army.

Hu Zongmao slowed down, the speed of the whole team slowed down, all the generals were waiting for Hu Zongmao's orders, Hu Zongmao thought for a while, and finally said: "Deputy General Yao, I will give you five hundred men and horses, you go to the northeast, if the Chu army is fighting with the Jinzhou army, you don't have to go up, just find out if Chu Huan is over there, once you find Chu Huan on that road, immediately shoot a rocket into the air, release a signal, and Ben will immediately lead the army to the northeast." ”

Vice General Yao arched his hand and said: "The last general obeys the order, if there is a chance to take down Chu Huan's head, the last general will never hesitate." At that moment, he led 500 men and horses, and divided his troops to chase them to the northeast.

As soon as Vice General Yao left, Hu Zongmao regretted it a little in his heart, but the military order had been issued, and it was not easy to take it back.

Riding a horse and carrying a knife, he led the army to the southeast to catch up, and chased out less than ten miles, getting closer and closer to the Chu army in front, but the previous shouts and fighting sounds that shook the four fields were much smaller, Hu Zongmao secretly thought in his heart, could it be that Zhang Shuyan's soldiers and horses had solved the battle, and his heart was slightly anxious, but suddenly he saw that the little fires in front of him were extinguished one after another, but in a moment, the scene that was still flickering with fire disappeared completely, not only that, but all the shouts and fighting sounds were all gone, and the fire could not be seen, I couldn't hear a sound, and there was silence in front of me, and the deep night seemed to swallow everything in front of me.

Hu Zongmao couldn't help but slow down the speed of his horse, even the soldiers under his command were stunned, everyone looked at each other, Hu Zongmao felt that something was wrong, passed the order, the whole army was on alert, and moved forward for a while, but saw a Gobi high slope in front of him, like a wall in front, but he couldn't see a single soldier.

"General, it seems...... Something is wrong! The silence around was as deathly, and the silence was terrifying, and one lieutenant couldn't help but whisper: "They all seem to be ...... It's all gone......! ”

The corners of Hu Zongmao's mouth twitched, he held the war knife in one hand, and the fist in the other, for some reason, his heart began to beat faster, and when he looked around, an ominous premonition had enveloped his heart.

"Not good, in the middle of the scheme!" Hu Zongmao groaned slightly, and shouted in a lost voice, his voice was full of horror, "Quickly pass the order, the whole army will return to the city quickly, damn, we have ...... plan!" ”

At this moment, a voice suddenly came, the sound was extremely abrupt, like thunder in the sky, and like a ghost in the ground whimpering and shouting, the sound came from the rear, the soldiers of the Xunzi battalion turned back one after another, and there was still a black curtain behind it, and the thunderous sound came from the black curtain.

The corners of Hu Zongmao's mouth twitched, the corners of his eyes twitched, and his voice was already frightened, "That...... That's the sound of horses' hooves......! ”

The sound of iron hooves trampling the earth!

Hu Zongmao was born in the ranks, and from the muffled sound of horses' hooves, he had keenly judged that there were at least hundreds of iron horsemen rushing from the shadows.

Hu Zongmao was shocked inexplicably, whose cavalry was that, as far as he knew, although Chu Huan was outnumbered, he was mainly infantry, and there were not many cavalry at all, and the cavalry rushing behind him, whose men and horses were it?

Just when he was in a trance, the sound of horses' hooves was a little closer, and an invisible pressure pressed on everyone's heart, and the cavalry had not yet been seen, but everyone seemed to have felt the impact and murderous aura brought by the cavalry-
