Lei Hu didn't know that the moment he completely released his killing intent, almost all the masters whose strength broke through the innate within ten miles sensed it.

These innate masters, which one of them is the backbone of a force or family, now gathered in Jiankang with bad intentions, but he didn't expect that at the critical moment, he actually noticed that there was a supreme powerhouse comparable to a grandmaster hidden outside Jiankang City!

In this way, the innate masters of all parties who are confused can be shocked.

They don't know if the supreme powerhouse who unleashes terrifying killing intent outside the city is a friend or an enemy?

Only Shi Zhixuan, who had dealt with Lei Hu, and Song Que, who hurried to Jiankang to prepare for the fun, looked in the direction where the terrifying killing intent was coming from, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Time has come to Chinese New Year's Eve, and the entire Jiankang City is in a festive atmosphere for the New Year, and the lights are everywhere.

The army, including the city defense army and even the Yangtze River Naval Division, was rewarded by the imperial court, and they were not happy to eat and drink in the camp one by one.

Naturally, the Qingxu Old Daoist Department also got a large supply of wine and meat, and the relationship between the demon concubine Zhang Lihua was there, and the officials below did not dare to slack off.

It's just that there is not much laughter and laughter coming out of the huge barracks, and the rich smell of food and meat wafts in the air, but there is no smell of alcohol.

Inside the barracks, according to the battalion and one team gathered for dinner, there were no sergeants talking to each other, and after a sumptuous meal and meat, they just lined up to sit down and gobble up, and the atmosphere seemed very dignified and eccentric.

Lei Hu is extremely strict in governing the army, drinking is not allowed in the barracks at all, if anyone dares to commit a crime while on duty, the small black house is only a simple punishment, it is not a matter to beat the military stick or even directly close the military prison for a few years, and the most severe punishment is to kill the head directly.

No matter what the other armies in Nanchen are like, Lei Hu governs the army mainly with me, and the end of not abiding by the rules is extremely miserable, three years is enough time for the soldiers in the barracks to engrave discipline in their bones, and absolutely no one dares to defy the law easily.

Originally, during the Chinese New Year, most of the officers and men in the barracks had fixed annual leave and could go home to spend the New Year with their relatives.

Lei Hu did not have the habit of deducting military salaries, and even in the name of the army, through large-scale purchases to reduce prices, he replaced all the salaries of the generals and soldiers in the army with grain, cloth and meat.

It's just that the current situation is tense, and he clearly said that he was worried that the Northern Sui army would smuggle across the Yangtze River, and the officers and men in the army would train according to normal duty, and the matter would be settled, and all 30,000 soldiers would spend the New Year in the barracks.

Even the two main generals of Qingxu Lao Dao and Lei Hu were like this, and even if the rest of the soldiers were dissatisfied, they did not dare to speak out.

The overseers stationed in the army couldn't bear the loneliness for a long time, and rushed to the lively Jiankang City to receive the banquet from Chen Shubao, the lord of Chen, who would stay in the barracks and mingle with a group of Qiu Ba for the New Year?

Looking around, more than eighty percent of the generals in the army are henchmen trained with the battalion's martial arts, and the outsiders who are less than two layers are very acquainted, and they honestly listen to the order and have no idea of blowing up the thorns, they don't want to die inexplicably, and follow in the footsteps of those arrogant and unruly colleagues.

Lei Hu's control over this army of 30,000 has reached a very tight point.

The role of martial arts in the battalion is huge, and many talented low-level officers have come to the fore, and they have been quickly promoted in the process of suppressing bandits, and slowly replaced the officers who were stuffed into the Nanchen court, forming a strong force that is not weak.

There are also literacy eradication in the army, as well as the popularization of iron cloth shirts and other external skills, all of which have achieved great results, at least at this time, the combat power of the 30,000 horses of the Qingxu Lao Dao Department can be said to be quite amazing.

It's just a pity that the time is still too short, even with the guidance of a great master of internal boxing like Lei Hu, there are many talented soldiers in the army who have cultivated iron cloth shirts and external skills, and in three years, they can only barely step into the three popular ranks of the rivers and lakes.

With such strength, he can naturally be regarded as a fierce general in the army, but it is not enough to see it on the rivers and lakes.

It's just that this is a high-martial world, and the combat power of the innate strong is even worthy of an army of thousands of people, not to mention the strong grandmasters above the congenital level, just like the existence of a strategic deterrent like nuclear weapons, even if you are trapped in thousands of armies, you can kill a bloody path and inflict heavy losses on the army.

Lei Hu wants to command the army on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has to participate in the disputes in Jiankang City.

There is no way, the strength of the true lineage of the Dao Ancestor is insufficient, and it has experienced a split before, and the strength that is not strong is even more declining, and the only one who can help is the master Qingxu Lao Dao.

At ordinary times, Qingxu Lao Dao has to sit in the army to avoid accidents, and his strength is also in the middle of the congenital stage, and he can't intervene in the battle of top masters, Lei Hu can be said to be fighting alone.

This is nothing, as long as Lei Hu is given another ten years, there will be a blowout of the masters in the army, and then there will be no need to worry about the lack of masters under his command and the inability to expand his power.

For now, let's get through the fall of Nanchen first.

As the night deepened, the noise of Jiankang City gradually subsided, and suddenly a fast horse galloped past the edge of the city, heading straight for a heavily guarded military camp somewhere outside the city.

"Stop, or the bow and arrow will wait!"

Fifty paces from the barracks, the sergeant guarding the camp gate shouted, and a cold glow flickered under the firelight, and it was clear that the sergeant was not frightening.

"Urgent military situation, quickly report to the general, I have an urgent military situation report!"

Laiqi didn't dare to test the law, hurriedly rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, and a few strides ran to the gate of the barracks and shouted loudly.

"It's coming!"

Lei Hu, who had been sitting in the handsome tent, suddenly opened his eyes and spoke.

Before the generals in the camp could react, there were guards outside the door loudly announcing that the scouts sent out had an urgent military report.

"Biography!"

Lei Hu greeted loudly, looked around and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's the Northern Sui army, it's moving!" ”

The atmosphere in the tent was suffocated, the generals present did not have the heart of Lei Hu, their faces were solemn and did not say a word, and when the scouts were brought, they reported the military information they found along the Yangtze River, and the Northern Sui army had crossed the river in several sections, and suddenly gasped in their hearts.

"Generals obey orders!"

Waving his hand to let the messenger scout go down to rest, Lei Hu suddenly got up with a pair of tiger eyes shining.

When all the generals got up to answer the order, he shouted solemnly with a solemn face: "Act according to the previous deployment, cheer up the commander, let's have a good exchange with the Northern Sui army!" ”

As he spoke, he strode out of the tent, followed by a group of energetic generals, and soon the fire in the barracks was blazing, and the desolate horn sounded, and the originally silent barracks suddenly boiled.

Eight thousand soldiers who had cultivated iron cloth shirts, one by one, dressed in armor and holding blades, marched out of the barracks under the guidance of two thousand light horsemen, and then went straight to Jiankang City.

The remaining 20,000 troops in the battalion were also ready to fight at any time, and they only waited for the call of Lei Hu to defect to the battlefield and inflict heavy losses on the Northern Sui army.

The dispatch of an army of 10,000 people was so great that it soon alarmed the surrounding residents.

The bold went out and glanced at it, and was immediately frightened by the fierce army of 10,000 people, and hurriedly shrank back and closed the door, never daring to make the slightest rash move.

"Report!"

Halfway through, several cavalry scouts rushed over and told Lei Hu an expected thing, the Jiankang City Defense Army did not let them in, and as for what they said that the Northern Sui army was crossing the river, they were even more disdainful, and even took down a few scouts who were bewitching the public.

Hehe, the preparations on the Northern Sui side have been done well, and it is obvious that many important ministers in the Southern Chen Dynasty have secretly surrendered, and now Chen Shubao, the lord of Chen, is still in the dark.

Thundered......

Tens of thousands of troops rushed to Jiankang City, at this time Jiankang City has already closed the city gate, the defenders on the city wall are dense, and the torches are connected.

"Who is in the city, and which of the people wants to rebel?"

At the head of the city, a certain city defense general roared angrily, and the voice was not small and far away.

It's a pity that the army formation under the city didn't move at all, and Lei Hu rode out and said coldly: "Thunder Hu, the general under the command of Qingxu, wants to inform Your Majesty of the emergency military situation!" ”

"Presumptuous!"

The general at the head of the city shouted angrily: "You are a little general, what qualifications do you have to meet Your Majesty!" ”

"I see that you are blindly obstructing, I'm afraid that you have secretly defected to the Northern Sui, right?"

Lei Hu sneered, his voice was not loud but clearly reached the ears of the soldiers at the head of the city: "The Northern Sui army has crossed the river many ways at this time, and my scouts want to enter the city to report but are stopped by you for no reason, is there a ghost in your heart?" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the city, and it was obvious that the city defense general did not defect to the Northern Sui Dynasty, and made it clear to his soldiers.

"Nonsense!"

The city defense general was angry and angry: "Come on, shoot me, kill these rebels and thieves!" ”

Shout!

As soon as the words fell, he was directly hit by a cold flickering flying knife in the darkness and died in the throat.

The head of the city was suddenly in chaos, the loss of the leading general, the city defense army soldiers on this side of the city wall were in chaos, some wanted to continue to shoot arrows at the rebel army outside the city, and there were also people who were floating in their minds and doubted that their generals had defected to the enemy and treason, and they were flustered and at a loss like headless flies scurrying around.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhang, I am Lei Hu, the general under the command of Qingxu, and I have now found out that the people and horses of the Northern Sui Dynasty have crossed the river to the south in several ways, and will soon rush to Jiankang City, and please Your Majesty and Concubine Zhang Niangniang are ready to deal with the enemy!"

Lei Hu raised his head and shouted, the sound was like rolling thunder and suddenly spread throughout Jiankang City, which immediately caused a violent commotion, and he didn't care about the situation in the city, so he directly turned his horse head and led his army straight to the dock.

Although the Yangtze River defense line can be crossed almost everywhere, if you want a large group of people to cross the river by boat, there are only a few wharves that can accommodate it, and there is only one wharf outside Jiankang City.

By the time he led his troops to kill him, it was already full of brilliant lights and people, and a boatload of Northern Sui elites was disembarking in an endless stream, and under the command of their respective officers, they quickly lined up and converged into a stream, and an Angzang general rushed out first.
