Countless torches appeared in the east, the firelight was as bright as day, the earth was trembling, and Hu Zongmao could clearly see that the overwhelming Chu army was rapidly approaching Hezhou City.

Hu Zongmao's hands and feet were cold, and his mind was already blank at this time.

The city gate was blocked, the army was pressing, the enemy was outnumbered, Hu Zongmao was not a general who was good at fighting a head-to-head duel, at this time he was helpless, a gust of wind blew, Hu Zongmao actually shivered.

The two armies won against the brave, and the rebels fighting at the city gate had already heard the shouts from the east, and the city gate was already drenched in blood, and someone outside the city had already shouted: "Listen to the soldiers in the city, the governor has led a large army to kill him, and the governor has passed down the generals, only to punish the evil, do you want to be martyred for Hu Zongmao?" ”

The morale of the soldiers in the city has been extremely low, originally mixed with many militiamen, was used as cannon fodder by the school general to drive to the city gate to resist, see the city gate of the miserable howl of blood flowing, many militia is already scattered, a hearing outside shouting feet only to punish the head of the evil, many militia no longer hesitate, turn around and run, several school generals saw the militia retreat, raised their knives and chopped, after cutting over a few people, a group of militia was angry, already had the courage to scold: "your grandma, when we are not human......!" "Someone actually swung a knife and slashed at those school generals, there were not many school generals, and as soon as they swarmed up, several school generals were hacked to death in an instant.

The soldiers of the Xunzi battalion were still desperately resisting, and they heard the commotion behind them, and some people saw that the militia was actually slashing and killing the general, the city was already in chaos, where was there still the heart of war, the defenders who were about to squeeze up behind them, and then did not hesitate, turned around and ran, hundreds of rebel soldiers were crowded in the city gate, but in a blink of an eye, they dispersed in a hurry, and the Chu army saw this, shouted in unison, rushed into the city like a torrent, and completely controlled the main gate of Hezhou City.

The cavalry of the Chu army and the eight hundred janissaries entered the city, and did not rush in, but controlled the city gate, and the main force of the Chu army, which moved rapidly from the east, soon rushed to the city, and saw that the city gate had been taken, and immediately poured into the city like a tide, and the defenders in the city no longer had the fighting spirit, scattered and fled, a team of cavalry rushed into the city, and shouted: "The governor of Chu has an order, and those who surrender will not be killed!" ”

The defenders who were fleeing in all directions had already dropped their weapons at this time, knelt on the ground, and said, "I'm willing to surrender!" ”

A group of soldiers of the Chu army had already killed from the wall ladder to the head of the city, and the soldiers at the head of the city saw that the Chu army was like a numb, and knew that no matter how stubborn they resisted, they would kill themselves, so they abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

There is a group of people who stubbornly resist, they are all Hu Zongmao's descendants, after all, they were killed one by one, He Kui and a literati, seeing that the Chu army had been killed to the city, picked up a big knife from the ground, and also went up to fight, was kicked in the chest by a guard warrior who rushed to the city, flew out, fell to the ground, spit out a mouthful of blood, the guard warrior stepped forward, raised the big knife, and was about to cut down, but heard a voice behind him: "Stop!" ”

The guard warrior looked back, but saw that Huang Yutan in a robe had also climbed to the top of the city at some point, and he didn't dare to do it at the moment, several guards escorted Huang Yutan over, Huang Yutan looked at He Kui who was lying on the ground with blood on the corner of his mouth, and sighed: "He Kui, you are just a literati, at this time, why are you so obsessed?" ”

He Kui raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, smiled coldly, and said, "The winner, the prince, the loser, Kou, the matter has come to this, and I have nothing to say." Raised his hand and gave Huang Yutan a thumbs up, "It is said that Mr. Huang is an elegant person, but I didn't expect that Mr. Huang would also play these ghost tricks, so good, this scene you and Chu Huan played together really made He admire!" ”

Huang Yutan stared at He Kui, shook his head, and said: "The soldiers are not tired of deceit, I'm afraid Your Excellency has long felt that something is wrong, but it's a pity that it is Hu Zongmao who is defending the city, not you He Kui, if Hu Zongmao really listens to you, he may not be defeated today." ”

He Kui sighed and said, "A general is tired of thousands of troops, I have a high opinion of Hu Zongmao after all, ......!" ”

Huang Yutan glanced around, frowned, and asked, "Where is Hu Zongmao?" ”

A colonel who surrendered cautiously said, "When you attacked the city just now, General Hu ...... No, no, no, Hu Zongmao said that he would go down and fight to the death......! ”

Huang Yutan sighed: "He Kui, it seems that you really look at the wrong person, the person you are loyal to is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death when things come ...... the end!" ”

"You're wrong." He Kui supported the ground with his hands, reluctantly stood up, shook his head and said: "He Mou is by no means loyal to a certain person, but to the fathers and villagers in the northwest. ”

Huang Yutan frowned and was about to speak, but he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, and a hearty voice had already said, "Is Mr. Huang here?" ”

Huang Yutan turned around to look, but saw a person in armor, surrounded by a group of people, walking towards this side, that person's armor exuded a black light, the battle helmet on his head was like a wolf's head, heroic and sassy, it was Chu Huan, the governor of Xiguan Province.

With a gentle smile on his face, Chu Huan saw that Huang Yutan had already stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Mr. is in danger, Chu Huan is worried, and I am relieved to see that Mr. is safe and sound." ”

Huang Yutan arched his hand and smiled: "Chu Du showed the enemy weakness, lured the enemy out of the city, and succeeded in one fell swoop, which is really admirable." ”

"Sir is overrated." Chu Huan laughed, felt a cold gaze next to him, turned his head to look over, but saw a literati glaring at him, Chu Huan frowned, looked at the other party, his eyes were cold, the cold light shimmered, and said coldly: "You are He Kui, right?" Why don't you kneel when you see Bento? ”

He Kui spat heavily and scolded angrily: "It's just a dog in the imperial court, why should I kneel to you?" ”

"Ben Governor is loyal to the imperial court, quelled the rebellion, and now you are a prisoner of Jiexia, Ben Du can take your life with one finger, and you dare to slander Ben Du here?" Chu Huan sneered: "It seems that you don't care about the head on your neck!" ”

He Kui stiffened his neck and said: "If you want to kill, kill it, where is there so much nonsense!" ”

When everyone around Chu Huan heard He Kui say this, they all glared at He Kui angrily, and someone had already clenched the knife, and when Chu Huan gave an order, they would go up and kill him.

Chu Huan stared at He Kui for a moment, and finally said lightly: "Pull He Kui down to show the public, to set an example!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone around Chu Huan was suddenly shocked, and secretly thought that at this time, He Kui still dared to speak wildly, and not killing was not enough to calm his anger.

Huang Yutan frowned, and was about to speak, Chu Huan seemed to know what Huang Yutan was going to say, and shook his head, Huang Yutan saw Chu Huan like this, and it was not easy to say more, he had already snatched out a few subordinates from behind Chu Huan, and was about to pull He Kui down to behead, but He Kui had already quickly run to the edge of the battlement, pointed at Chu Huan and said, "Chu Huan, you want to kill me?" Hehe, it's not that easy, it's up to me to live, and it's not your turn to die! The two of them had already climbed the battlements, and they were about to jump down the city.

Seeing that He Kui was about to become a puddle of flesh at the root of the city wall, everyone only felt that there was a flower in front of them, and a figure crossed in front of them like a ghost, He Kui's body had jumped out, but he felt that his shoulders were tight, and before he could react, his whole body was not falling but rising, and he was dragged back to the city from outside the city wall.

Everyone in the four places was dumbfounded, but He Kui, who escaped death, was already stunned, but at this time, he saw clearly that it was Chu Huan who saved himself.

Whether it was Chu Huan's subordinates, or those rebel soldiers who abandoned their weapons and surrendered, they were all dumbfounded, they didn't even see clearly how Chu Huan saved people, Chu Huan's speed was really incredible, at this time, everyone knew that the young governor in front of him, his martial arts cultivation, was really appalling, at least in the eyes of ordinary officers and soldiers, it was already incredible.

He Kui quickly came back to his senses and said angrily: "You...... Why save me? ”

"There are fewer and fewer people who are not afraid of death." Chu Huan sighed, "One less to die, Qing is not afraid of death, why should I be afraid of death?" ”

He Kui couldn't see through the young man in front of him for a while, and frowned: "Chu Huan, what tricks do you want to play?" ”

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "The tricks that should be played, Bendu has already played them, and there is no need to play tricks with you anymore." Xiang Huang Yutan said: "Mr. Huang, He Kui will be handed over to you for the time being, and this governor has other things, so I will talk to you later." He looked around and asked, "Who was the first to climb this city?" ”

Everyone immediately looked at a person, who was in his early thirties, with a strong body, bloodstained body, and obviously a knife in the shoulder, the wound had not been treated, and blood was spilling outward.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the man was a little embarrassed, and Chu Huan had already asked with a smile, "You were the first to climb the city?" ”

The man came out, got down on one knee, and said, "Back to the Governor, little one...... The little one who was watching the archers at the head of the city shoot arrows, and he was annoyed that he had killed many of our brothers, so when he entered the city, he rushed to the head of the city...... I don't know if the little one is the first to climb the city......! Although he is a seven-foot-tall man, this man is still quite shy to speak.

The soldiers of the Chu army around him immediately testified: "Your Excellency the Governor, it is indeed he who was the first to attack the city, and he also stabbed two rebel ......!" ”

The man said shyly, "My lord, actually...... In fact, the villain is not for merit......! ”

"Ben Governor understands, Ben Governor understands!" Chu Huan nodded with a smile, and Wen Yan asked, "What's your name?" ”

The man immediately said respectfully: "The small one is a recruit who has not long been in the army, and he is organized in the Fengzi Battalion of the Praetorian Guard, and the small one is called Qian Dong!" ”

Chu Huan laughed and said, "Qian Dong? But the building of the pillars of talent? ”

"Exactly!"

"It seems that your family wants you to be a pillar of talent." Chu Huan stretched out his hand to help Qian Dong and said, "Qian Dong, do you have an official position in the Fengzi Camp?" ”

"Nope." Qian Dong scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "The little one is just a small soldier ......!" ”

"Then you're the Praetorian Guard's general." Chu Huan said solemnly: "When the city was attacked that day, the governor said that the first warrior to climb the head of Hezhou City will be promoted to two levels and a bounty of one hundred taels. ”

Qian Dong was a little incredulous, "My lord, you ...... What you say is true? ”

Chu Huan laughed and said, "Do you think that Bendu is joking with you?" ”

Qian Dong knelt down again and said gratefully: "Little one...... Thank you, little one, Lord Governor, ......! ”

Chu Huan said: "You don't have to thank Bendu, this is what you deserve, meritorious service will be rewarded, and guilt will be punished, today you have merit, Bendu will reward you, if he is guilty of you, Bendu will not spare you!" ”

At this time, the soldiers of the Chu army around were already bursting with joy, although they did not get the reward, but Chu Huan's rewards and punishments were clear, Qian Dongpu was an ordinary soldier, because of his meritorious service, he could be promoted to a general, and he was rewarded with a hundred taels of gold, everyone suddenly knew in their hearts that as long as they followed Chu Du, obeyed the general's orders, fought bravely, and did not worry about not having the opportunity to be promoted and rewarded, everyone's hearts were full of passion, and they only felt that the future was bright.

Chu Huan glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, today's siege soldiers will all be credited with meritorious service, those who are killed, pay heavy attention to their families, and those who have meritorious service in the siege will be given three months, and according to the size of their military merits, they will be promoted!" ”

Everyone fell to their knees and said in unison, "Thank you, Lord Governor!" ”

Chu Huan's reward like this can be said to be extremely generous, there are really few generals who reward and punish him like this, and treat his subordinates well, everyone only feels that Chu Huan's image is extremely majestic for a while, even those rebels who surrendered are also regretful in their hearts, secretly thinking that if they follow Chu Huan and belong to the siege army, they are afraid that they can also be rewarded-
