Although the distance between the two sides is not too far, the fact that the Shenwu cannon and the short crossbow can attack and deal a certain amount of damage does not mean that ordinary arrows can also be like artillery.

That's right, when the distance was about the same, the lethality of the bow and arrow was also revealed, and soon there were casualties on Zuo Xiaowei's side.

In this case, if you want to keep the army from casualties, there is only change. The state of the Shenwu Guard army.

Therefore, Hu Xin, who saw the scene here, was just full of anger in his eyes, and he didn't say anything or do anything.

The Shenwu cannon erected opposite the Zheng family's mansion roared wildly, and every attack would make the local army riot, and the continuous artillery bombardment caused almost all the high-level members of the opposing army to be injured, so their drumming also stopped.

These Datang Zuo Xiao guards are just desperately firing crossbow arrows into the smoke and mist, and they don't need you to aim at all, and they don't have the time to aim.

The crossbow arrows made of stainless steel rained down, like a blizzard falling from the sky, constantly consuming and endless.

But it doesn't matter, these short crossbow arrows can be recovered after they are shot, anyway, there are a lot of crossbow arrows in a pot, enough for us to shoot more than ten rounds.

"Woohoo!"

The arrows have never decreased, but the number of these five surnamed Qiwang army is rapidly decreasing.

As time passed, when there were only about 3,000 of these soldiers with the surname Qiwang hidden in the Zheng family's mansion, the soldiers of Zuo Xiaowei gave up the short crossbow in their hands and began to engage the 3,000 people in hand.

It was precisely because of the attack of Zuo Xiao's guards that these soldiers with five surnames and seven hopes had an unparalleled fear of the Tang cavalry who devoured their flesh and life viciously.

And this fear spread like a plague among the three thousand.

In the end, when Zuo Xiaowei's soldiers also lost more than 1,000 people, the only thought of fleeing was left in the heads of the soldiers of the five surnamed Qiwang Army.

They threw down their weapons. He no longer cared about his companions, screaming and crying, and scattered into the distance, leaving behind a mountain of corpses of the five surnamed Qiwang soldiers on the ground.

At this point in the battle, the victory or defeat is already self-evident.

The Zuo Xiao guards who had already rushed to kill in the Zheng Clan's mansion were extremely happy, their bloodstained cheeks were full of pride, and their right hands clenching the horizontal sword were like the arms of the god of war!

Looking at the Zheng family's mansion strewn with corpses on the ground, Zhao Ji raised the weapon in his hand and cheered loudly in his mouth: "Wan Sheng!" Datang Wansheng! ”

The soldiers of Datang were full of excitement, and the cheers resounded under the faint starry sky. The evil aura that rose to the sky, it seemed that even Mingyue had begun to retreat.

"Okay, if you want to celebrate, wait for the high-level leaders who have won the five surnames and seven wangs, and now let's hurry up and arrest them all!"

Hu Xin, who came in stride, knew the priority of the matter far better than Zhao Ji and them.

As the saying goes, the grass must be cut to the roots, and even the hair of the high-level people with the five surnames and seven wangs has not been touched, so they are in a hurry to cheer now. Isn't that a fool's errand?

Hearing Hu Xin's words, these Zuo Xiao guards who had rushed to kill all stopped what they were doing, and the army was divided into several teams of 100 people, and they searched frantically in various rooms of the Zheng family's mansion.

After the time when there was half a pillar of incense. When all the rooms in the house were searched, the result was that Hu Xin and Cheng Chuliang were greatly disappointed.

The whole house is full of maids and servants, and there is not even a housekeeper with a slightly higher status, let alone those high-ranking people with five surnames and seven hopes.

"What do you say? No? Hu Xin raised his voice. Like an angry lion, he cried out:

"Impossible! Our people surrounded the whole house, and even if they put on their wings, they couldn't fly out. How could there be none? ”

But here's the thing...... No! Zhao Ji lowered his head, like a little daughter-in-law who had done something wrong.

"Damn it!" Hu Xin stomped his foot in anger.

"General Hu, do you want to interrogate those guys who are not dead?"

At this time, Cheng Zhi, who had already changed back to the Datang standard armor, showed an idea.

"Smack!"

Hu Xin slapped his palms and said, "That's right, why did you forget this stubble!" ”

He turned his head to look at Cheng Chuliang and said, "Erlang, you go and bring the two highest-ranking guys among the remaining traitors!" ”

"No!"

Cheng Chuliang answered, and after a few breaths, he escorted the two guys back.

One of them was a chubby, meaty young man.

The other is Zuo Ye, Zheng Zuo, who patrolled the city wall of Tiger Prison Pass before.

"Get down on my knees!"

Coming to Hu Xin's side, Cheng Chuliang kicked the back of the two guys' knees fiercely, and his voice was cold.

The two of them suffered pain in their legs, and the whole person involuntarily threw himself forward and knelt on the ground.

"What's your name? What is your position in the army, do you know where your family patriarch and the top of the family have gone? ”

Hu Xin looked condescendingly at the fat man at the front and asked.

"Phew!"

The fat man spat on Hu Xin, and said viciously: "If you want Lao Tzu to betray the patriarch, you are delusional and capable, you will kill Lao Tzu now?" Lao Tzu won't ...... even if he is a ghost."

"Poof!"

Before the fat man finished speaking, his head and body had already been separated, and all the hot blood sprayed on Zheng Zuo on one side, drenching his head.

"Ben will like this guy who is not afraid of death!"

Pulling out a thin silk and wiping the long knife in his hand, Hu Xin put the knife on Zheng Zuo's neck expressionlessly, and said:

"Tell me your name, your status in the army, and besides, do you know where your patriarch has gone?"

"I, I ......"

Zheng Zuo gritted his teeth, he was struggling in his heart now, because Hu Xin's actions were clearly an example of killing chickens and monkeys.

If he had said it, there was a good chance that he would have survived; But if he doesn't say it, a few of the people in the clan who are not dead still know that the secret path exists, and even if he doesn't say it, someone will say it.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zuo said: "My name is Zheng Zuo, and I am a partial general in the Zheng clan who patrols the Tiger Prison Pass. As for the patriarch, they must have escaped through the secret passage in the patriarch's study! ”

"The secret passage?" Hu Xin was stunned for a moment and said, "Is there a secret passage in this house?" ”

"Yes!" Zheng Zuo nodded and said, "The secret road leads directly to the inland river three miles north of the Tiger Prison!" There, there is also an army of 10,000 people hoarded by five surnames and seven wangs, and the inland river, the river channel is wide, and the patriarch has already prepared the boat, I think now they should have gone down the river and headed straight for the ocean!
