The battle did not last long, Zhao Ci's rebellious army had completely collapsed, and when the gate of Huyang City was opened, and Yang Xu personally led the Nanyang County soldiers to kill, the rebellious army was even more desperate, they knelt on the ground one by one, trembling, hoping to be forgiven and escape.

At this time, Wang Heng had already shot seven or eight enemies, and he had been following Huang Zhong, but whenever he saw any signs of the enemy gathering to resist, he rushed over, no matter what kind of enemy he was, he couldn't resist Huang Zhong, so all the intentions of resistance were completely crushed.

In the end, in addition to the dead bodies lying on the ground, and the chaotic army that escaped by luck, there were only enemy soldiers kneeling on the ground, and no one was resisting, Wang Heng naturally would not kill these enemies who had lost the will to resist, he carried the bow on his back.

At this time, everyone found out that there seemed to be no trace of Zhao Ci, could it be that he had died in the chaos?

Huang Zhong asked several rebels who knelt on the ground and surrendered, and the rebels pointed out the camp where Zhao Ci lived, and searched there, but there was no corpse of Zhao Ci nearby, and the rebels in this vicinity told Huang Zhong that Zhao Ci knew that the general situation was going soon after the military camp was raided, so he rode his horse and ran to the northeast with a few guards, and also slashed and killed many rebels who stood in the way along the way.

Huang Zhong gave an order, and his team of guards on horseback chased in the direction of Zhao Ci's escape, although this battle was a big victory, but Zhao Ci could not let him run away, and the first evil would be punished.

Wang Heng glanced back, only to see Deng Zhan and Yao Gang also looking at him with pleading eyes, he knew that they also wanted to chase Zhao Ci, which was a huge credit.

Anyway, this neighborhood has been completely controlled by its own army, and there is no danger, so Wang Heng waved his hand, Deng Zhan and the others cheered, and also rode their horses in the direction of Zhao Ci's escape.

At the fourth watch, several soldiers led a middle-aged man in his forties to Huang Zhong, although this middle-aged man was on the battlefield and wearing armor, he could not hide his scholarly atmosphere.

He is the new Nanyang Taishou Yang Xu.

During this time, Wang Heng had heard a lot of Yang Xu's deeds from Wang Rong and his staff, and Wang Heng still respected this Yang Taishou very much, and he also looked at Yang Xu carefully.

Yang Xu's figure is also very tall, his face is clear, and he has a Chinese face, which looks righteous and awe-inspiring.

Huang Zhong also respected Yang Xu very much, he jumped off his horse and said to Yang Xu: "Yang Envoy Jun, the last general is Cao Huangzhong, a soldier of Jingzhou, who was ordered to lead the army to help!" ”

With such a big victory tonight, the Nanyang Rebellion is about to be pacified, which obviously makes Yang Xu feel very good, he arched his hand and smiled at Huang Zhong: "It turned out to be General Huang, continue to represent the people of Nanyang, thank you for the general's help!" ”

Huang Zhong said: "Don't dare, don't dare, Zhong is also a Nanyang person, and it is natural to contribute to Nanyang!" ”

Yang Xu smiled and said: "General Huang has done this miraculous feat, and I will congratulate you here!" ”

Huang Zhong shook his head and said: "It's just a group of local chickens and tile dogs, besides, if it weren't for the timely cooperation of Yang Taishou, this battle would not have been able to win so lightly." ”

Of course, Yang Xu knew that the main credit for the victory in this battle was Huang Zhong's, and he naturally would not rob Huang Zhong of the credit, so he humbled himself a few more words, and then asked: "Can the thief chief Zhao Ci be captured?" ”

Huang Zhong said: "Zhao Ci fled to the northeast, and I have sent someone to chase him." ”

Yang Xu looked to the northeast direction, that direction was the Tongbai Mountains, he was a little worried about whether he could catch Zhao Ci, if Zhao Ci fled into the mountains, it would be troublesome, if he failed to catch him, he couldn't be called a full effort.

However, Yang Xu did not share his worries, and he warmly invited Huang Zhong to rest in the city.

At this time, Wang Heng found an opportunity to salute Yang Xu and said: "Boy Wang Heng has seen Yang Taishou!" ”

Yang Xu always thought that Wang Heng was Huang Zhong's personal guard, so he didn't care, only then did he know Wang Heng's identity, and he said in surprise: "But Wang Heng, the son of the assassin Wang Heng, Wang Shuping?" ”

Wang Heng bowed down and said, "It's the kid." ”

Yang Xu exclaimed: "You are only fourteen years old, right? How are they all in battle? ”

Huang Zhong said: "Gongzi Heng also shot eight thieves today." ”

Yang Xu looked Wang Heng up and down, and saw that his figure was no longer inferior to that of an adult, and he looked heroic, and couldn't help but praise: "I also read your printed books, I thought you were a beautiful son, but I didn't want you to be so good at martial arts, you are really a civil and military all-rounder!" ”

Wang Hengqian said: "How dare the kid be called a civil and military all-rounder in front of Yang Taishou, Yang Taishou can be called a real civil and military all-rounder!" Two years ago, the Lujiang Yellow Turban, two years, Lujiang Dazhi, now refusing Zhao Ci's rebellion, the kid also heard that when the Taishou entered Nanyang, he walked in micro-service, found out the corruption of several counties and county orders, and brought them to justice, so iron-faced and selfless, it is really the blessing of the people of Nanyang! ”

It turned out that when Yang Xu took office in Nanyang, he only brought a boy, dressed as a civilian, and visited along the way, and found out that several counties and counties were corrupt, and they were decisively taken down.

Such courage is admirable, and this move also effectively deterred the county officials and played a great role in the continuous rectification of the county soldiers.

Although Yang Xu is not vain, but listening to a fourteen-year-old boy talking about his proud deeds in front of him, after all, he is still happy, plus he has read the printed books invented by Wang Heng, and today he saw Wang Heng such a stabbing prince with his own eyes, and he actually risked the arrow stone to kill the enemy on the battle array, so he had a very good impression of Wang Heng.

Yang continued to laugh and said: "This place is full of stumps and broken arms, swords, guns and halberds, not a place to speak, please follow me into the city for a while." ”

Huang Zhong nodded yes, he asked Zhao Chou and Wang Yao to call two captains, Zhao Chou and Wang Yao, and ordered them to take people to clean up the battlefield, and sent people to report to Wang Rong overnight, and found Kuai Yue, Kuai Yue is a scribe, although he has also practiced swords, but it is not enough to go to the battlefield, so he has been protected by several soldiers to stay in the rear.

Then Huang Zhong followed Wang Heng and Kuai Yue into the city with Yang Xu.

Entering Huyang City, in fact, the scene is not much better than outside the city, there are ruins and broken walls everywhere, the corpses of the dead and the wounded are under the city wall, the wounded are in pain, and the light of the torch can be seen roughly, there are at least one or two thousand dead and wounded.

Such a scene shocked Wang Heng, he hadn't thought about it carefully outside just now, but now when he saw the dead and injured here, he thought that on this night, at least thousands of people lost their lives, and in the entire Nanyang Rebellion, I am afraid that tens of thousands of people will die?

The destructive power of war is too great!

And in the next few decades, I don't know how many such wars, the blood of the Han people was too much, and the vitality was so badly injured that there was the darkest history of the Han people in the Wuhu Chaohua.

Wang Heng wanted to help the Chinese nation avoid such a history and reduce wars, but ironically, to reduce wars, they had to be implemented through guò wars.

Wang Heng felt a heavy burden on his shoulders.

Huang Zhong saw by the light of the fire that Wang Heng was a little distracted, his face seemed to be a little pale, thinking that it was the first time he killed someone today, and seeing so many dead and wounded, he was a little uncomfortable, he reached over, held Wang Heng's hand and said, "It will be fine in a few days, I will do this for the first time." ”

Yang Xu also knew that today was the first battle of this young man, and he smiled gently: "The first time I killed someone was very uncomfortable, the first time I killed a thief was when I was young and killed a thief on the road, and I vomited for a long time after killing a thief, but I am not as good as you are today." I don't like to kill people, but I have killed a lot of people in the past few years, killing the Yellow Turban Thieves, killing Zhao Ci's rebellious army, and sometimes, I have to kill. You just have to remember that by killing the wicked, you are saving the good! ”

Yang Xu's words did make Wang Heng much better, and he asked curiously, "What?" Does Yang Taishou also need to kill the thief in person these days? ”

Yang Xu's voice was a little lower: "In the past few days, the chaotic army has been attacking Huyang very urgently, and most of the Nanyang County soldiers under my command are new recruits, and they have gone into battle without training for a few days, and their combat strength is limited. Especially in the past two days, when the rebel army attacked the city several times, I had to take my personal guards and drive the enemy down the city with my own hands, and in the last few days, it has been better. ”

Yang Xu may have thought of the soldiers who were killed and wounded in the defense of the city, and his face became solemn.

Huyang County is not big, while speaking, a few people have already walked to the county office, Yang continued to invite a few people to go in to rest, and let the guards serve warm soup, he said apologetically: "Wartime materials are limited, even honey syrup, can only serve guests with warm soup, please don't blame!" ”

Huang Zhong, Wang Heng, and Kuai Yue didn't dare to say anything, and they were full of respect for this sheep Taishou.

At this time, a young officer walked in from outside the door, and saluted Yang Xu with a happy face: "Lord Envoy, our army has won a great victory in this battle, and the last general will come to restore his life!" ”

Yang continued: "Zhongye, there is also a young hero here, you come and meet him!" ”

Yang Xu said to Wang Heng again: "Heng Gongzi, let me introduce to you, this is the son of the Nanyang Wen family, the word Zhongye, not a few years older than you, after I took office in Nanyang, he came to join the army, because of his outstanding martial arts, he became the captain of my personal guard, in the battle of defending Huyang, he killed countless enemies, and made great contributions!" ”

When Wang Heng heard this name, he was shocked, this is Wenpin! This is the number one general under Liu Biao in the future, loyal, rigorous and steady, although the reputation is not as good as Liu Bei's five tiger generals, Cao Cao's five good generals, etc., but in fact, his achievements are also very high, it can be said that he is a general who has both offense and defense.

Wang Heng continued to the sheep: "Please don't call me Heng Gongzi anymore, the kid is just a junior, just call me Shuping." ”

The first name of the sheep is yes.

Wang Heng bowed his hand to Wen Ping again: "Wang Heng has seen Brother Zhongye!" ”

Wen Ping's face was shocked: "But Heng Gongzi, who invented printed books? ”

Wang Heng said: "Brother Zhongye can also call me Shuping." ”

Although Wen Ping is a military general, but he is from the scholar family, he can be called both civil and military, so of course he has also read Wang Heng's printed books, he has been admiring Wang Heng for a long time, and he has heard Wang Heng's name, he has admired it for a long time, both of them are heroic young people, and there is a sense of pity for each other for a while.

Next, Wen Ping met Huang Zhong and Kuai Yue again, of course, he has heard of these two people for a long time, and he retreated after greeting each other, and he also had to lead the county soldiers to help Huyang County Order to deal with the aftermath, these days the chaotic army is attacking the city, and the damage to Huyang City is too great.

The sky gradually brightened, Zhao Chou and Wang Yao came to the county government and reported the results to Huang Zhong, this battle, a total of more than 5,000 enemy soldiers were killed and wounded, of which the dead were far more than the wounded, a large part of the enemy troops were trampled on each other in the process of seizing the road and fleeing, and the captured rebel army was nearly 7,000 people, and there were very few enemy soldiers who were lucky enough to escape.

None of the 5,000 elites led by Huang Zhong were killed, and only dozens of people were injured, and even if they were injured, most of them were because it was dark, and they broke their feet or fell and were injured, and they were fine.

Now all the captured enemy troops have collected their weapons and are being held in prisoner of war camps, and the spoils of war are being counted.

After listening to the report, Huang Zhong was also very happy, this battle was indeed fought beautifully, especially since none of his soldiers were killed, which made Huang Zhong, who had always loved soldiers like a son, even more happy.

However, Huang Zhong also knew that achieving such a result was made up of various factors, the enemy army was weak, and it was a night raid under the enemy's unprepared psychological preparation, if this could not win a big victory, then it could only be said that the generals leading the troops were incompetent.

Of course, this victory was a real victory from every point of view.

The only thing that made Huang Zhong a little worried was that the guards he sent to chase and kill Zhao Ci and Deng Zhan, Yao Gang and others sent out by Wang Heng had not yet returned, he couldn't help but regret a little, it would have been good for him to chase him in person at that time, but he also didn't want to compete with his subordinates, he only hoped that they could return safely now, as for whether to chase Zhao Ci or not is secondary, presumably Zhao Ci is unlikely to set off any more waves.

As time passed, Huang Zhong's personal guards came back one by one, some of them carried the head in their hands, but the disappointing thing is that none of them were Zhao Ci's heads, some were from the fleeing rebels, and some were from Zhao Ci's personal guards.

According to these Huang Zhong's guards, Zhao Ci was very cunning, and he let his guards keep leaving from the fork in the road along the way to disrupt the sight of the pursuers, and there were too many intersections into the mountain from Tongbai Mountain, and in the end, even the guards who were left behind by Zhao Ci couldn't tell where he fled from.

When it was almost noon, Yao Gang and the others also came back one by one, they also did not catch up with Zhao Ci, and so far, only Deng Zhan has not returned.

Wang Heng became more and more worried, Deng Zhanke was a general who had left his name in the history books, and he thought that he would achieve greater achievements when he met him, was it because he met himself that changed his fate and made him die young?

This made Wang Heng feel a little remorseful.

Huang Zhong knew Wang Heng's mood, and he comforted Wang Heng and said: "Deng Zhan's martial arts are quite good, and others are also clever, so he is not so prone to accidents, maybe he is now carrying Zhao Ci's head on the way back." ”

As soon as Huang Zhong's words fell, Yao Gang came in from outside the door, he gave a salute to Wang Heng and Huang Zhong, and couldn't hold back his excitement and said: "Son, General Huang, Deng Zhan is back!" ”

Wang Hengteng stood up and said, "Really? ”

No need for Yao Gang to answer, Deng Zhan had already come in, his face was full of exhaustion, and his left leg was also limping, but this qiē couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes, and he was holding a head in his left hand.

Wang Heng said: "Are you injured? ”

Deng Zhan shook his head and said, "It's okay." Childe, Deng Zhan was fortunate to live up to his fate and brought back Zhao Ci's head! ”

Everyone in the hall was overjoyed, especially Wang Heng, who was not only happy for Zhao Ci to confer the head, but also happy for Deng Zhan to make such a great achievement.

Huang Zhong immediately ordered someone to find a few people who were familiar with Zhao Ci from among the captives to come in and identify them, and confirmed that this head was indeed Zhao Ci's.

Deng Zhan told everyone about his pursuit of Zhao Ci, it turned out that when he was chasing Zhao Ci on the way, Zhao Ci left traces showing that he had entered the mountain, Deng Zhan continued to chase into the mountain, and he also chased several Zhao Ci's personal guards on the way, but he did not dwell on them for too long, leaving them to his companions, and he continued to chase.

After Deng Zhan lost his father, his family was in the middle of the road, and in order to make a living, he often went to the mountains near the left to hunt, and it was his forte to track and find traces in the mountains, so he lost his traces several times and chased them again under his careful search.

After chasing him, the mountain road was already very difficult, Deng Zhan found the horses left by Zhao Ci and his party, and he also gave up his mount and walked into the mountains.

At this time, none of Deng Zhan's companions followed him, and the traces left by Zhao Ci showed that he only had one personal guard left with him, and Deng Zhan was also a master of the arts, and he chased after the two alone.

I don't know how long I chased it, Deng Zhan heard a faint ** coming out of a bush of weeds, he alertly used a knife to remove the weeds, and found that it was Zhao Ci's personal guard, he was stabbed in the chest, and he was already dying.

Deng Zhan hurriedly asked about Zhao Ci's whereabouts, but he didn't expect that as soon as the guard heard Zhao Ci's name, his eyes shot out of hatred, it turned out that when he was running away with Zhao Ci, he was too panicked, and his left foot was broken, and he couldn't run anymore, Zhao Ci may have stabbed him in the chest with a knife in order to extinguish his mouth, and then threw him into a bush of weeds, and fled in a hurry.

However, Zhao Ci was too flustered, and the knife failed to stab the heart of the guard, and he was not dead for a while, but insisted on until Deng Zhan arrived.

In retaliation, the guard pointed out the direction in which Zhao Ci had fled, and then died.

Deng Zhan immediately chased in that direction, and with his ability to track and his familiarity with the mountain and forest environment, he quickly caught up with Zhao Ci.

Zhao Ci panicked at first, but seeing that Deng Zhan's figure was not tall, he pounced on Deng Zhan with a cruel smile, wanting to kill Deng Zhan, but Deng Zhan was already a martial artist who had practiced true qi, and he was very adaptable to the mountain and forest environment.

Subsequently, Deng Zhan returned the same way, found his mount, and returned to Huyang. PS: There are so few recommended votes, which makes people bored.
