There was no drum sound on the Chu army. The murderous atmosphere for several consecutive days seemed to ease with the disappearance of the drum sound. After several consecutive days of suffering, the suppressed mood of the soldiers on the city was slightly relaxed. After dinner, many tired and sleepy soldiers slept on the spot. However, Hu Zongmao did not take it lightly because of the changes in the Chu army. He still ordered the soldiers guarding the city to be divided into two shifts and rotated on duty.

The wind was not loud tonight, but because of the strong wind during the day, the dust and sand in the air were still dense. The soldiers on duty at the top of the city did not dare to take it lightly. They looked at the Chu army camp outside the city from afar. There was a fire on the other side, which stretched for more than ten miles, but it was silent, as if there was no living person in the continuous barracks, as if there was a dead silence.

It was late at night, and it seemed that everything was destroyed. The confused soldiers who were sleeping against the wall on the city wall faintly heard a strange sound in their ears. When the two armies faced each other, no one would really sleep. The sound brought from the wind made the soldiers on the city stand up slowly, and everyone couldn't help but look towards the Chu army camp.

The flames soar into the sky.

The soldiers who stood up were shocked when they first saw the Chu army camp. They saw that the continuous Chu army camps were already in the sky, and the raging fire was burning, making the sky above the Chu army camps red.

The rebel soldiers could even see figures running around in the fire, the sounds coming from the wind, with shouts, screams, and sadness. Everyone could see in an instant that the Chu army camp was already in chaos.

Hu Zongmao was already half asleep and received a report from his generals, and quickly appeared on the city. The fire in the Chu army camp became louder and louder, and the screams in the wind became clearer and clearer. The figures in the firelight ran around and became messy.

"What's going on?" Hu Zongmao never expected that such a scene would appear on the Chu army. He put his hands on the battlements and looked forward. He really hoped that his eyes could fly out and take a good look at what happened to the Chu army camp.

Deputy General Yao said, "General, it seems... it seems that there is a fire there..."

This is undoubtedly a nonsense, even a fool can see that there was a fire in the Chu camp.

"General, it seems not as simple as a fire." Another deputy general next to him opened his eyes wide and looked at the raging fire over there. "It seems... it seems that someone is setting fire... General, look, the Chu camp is more than ten miles long, but there are many fire points...!" He raised his hand and pointed, "The fire points are not connected, it is obvious that someone is setting fire everywhere at the same time..."

Everyone around nodded slightly, and everyone could see clearly that someone must have deliberately started the fire in Chuying.

Hu Zongmao frowned and said, "Who set the fire?"

"Did they let it go?" Deputy General Yao immediately said: "General, the Chu army is composed of the three camps and the newly recruited governor-general guards of Chu Huan. The guards may be able to be loyal to Chu Huan, but the three camps may not be really loyal to Chu Huan. We have found out that there has been internal strife within the Chu army, and many soldiers are clamoring to withdraw their troops... Are those soldiers who oppose Chu Huan, ignite the fire at night?"

Hu Zongmao shook his head and said, "There is not many possibilities. If a soldier escapes quietly, it is very likely. But setting fire to the camp is a serious crime of extermination. Ordinary soldiers do not have such courage...!"

"Listen!" A general next to him suddenly said, "General, there seems to be a fight over there...!"

"Yes, it's the sound of fighting..." Someone immediately became alert and raised his hand to point over there, "General, look, the Chu camp is in chaos, fighting...!"

Of course Hu Zongmao has seen it.

The fire in the Chu camp soared into the sky. As the fire spread, the entire sky was already red. The soldiers on the city could vaguely see that in the Chu camp, people flashed, and they were really fighting.

The shouts and screams blew over with the night wind. Hu Zongmao browsed and understood, and said, "Yes... it's Zhang Shuyan's men who have arrived..."

All the generals immediately reacted, and Deputy General Yao immediately said: "General wisely, it must be the reinforcements from Jinzhou. Hahahaha... General Zhang's men and women are really not slow, they came in time. General, you see, the Chu army seems to be unable to resist and has retreated...!"

Hu Zongmao's eyes twitched and said lightly: "Uncle Zhang really came in time..."

"The Chu army is exhausted, and with the plague and internal strife, it is already vulnerable." Deputy General Yao clenched his fists and said excitedly: "Looking at the formation over there, General Zhang has brought many people this time... Attacking the Chu camp at night, hehe, Chu Huan is hard to fly this time."

The Chu army was indeed retreating on the entire line. Perhaps the Chu army really did not expect that Zhang Shuyan's troops would come so quickly, and they suddenly launched a raid at night.

The camp tent burned in the fire, and the Chu army caught off guard and went in a mess. This was a good army that had not been integrated. It was suddenly attacked and was in chaos. The defenders on the city clearly saw that the Chu army soldiers had begun to retreat eastward. The Chu army had no fighting spirit, cried and shouted at her parents, and rushed to flee to the east.

"General, we must not miss the opportunity, we cannot wait any longer." Deputy General Yao said anxiously: "The Chu army was defeated on its entire line. This is the best opportunity. The credit cannot be snatched by Zhang Shuyan and the others."

"Yes, General, please give orders quickly." Other generals advised one after another: "We have consumed the Chu army like this. Now the Jinzhou soldiers want to get a big advantage. We must not let them steal the credit."

"General, as long as Chu Huan is defeated in this battle, the general's name will become famous all over the world." Deputy General Yao said expecting: "If the general gives up such a great opportunity, he will regret it if he turns back. And if he spreads it out at that time, he will think that the general is ungrateful..." He dared not continue to say this.

As a soldier, what he most hopes is to make achievements on the battlefield. As long as he is conscripted and made meritorious, he must be promoted. All the generals knew that defending Hezhou City was a merit, but if he could defeat Chu Huan's main force or even capture Chu Huan alive, the merit would be even more unparalleled. Seeing the sudden night attack of Jinzhou soldiers outside the city, the Chu army retreated, the generals were excited, and no one wanted to miss such a great opportunity to make meritorious.

Hu Zongmao's throat squirmed, watching the Chu soldiers retreating to the east like frightened flocks. He had already clenched his fists. The generals kept exhorting him and gritted his teeth and were about to say something. A person next to him had already flashed out and said in a deep voice: "General, it is already a great contribution to defending Hezhou City. You must not leave the city easily. Beizhi always feels that there is something wrong with this."

The person who speaks is naturally He Kui, the secretary who always speaks inappropriately.

"Do you think Chu Huan is a trick to lure troops?" Hu Zongmao glanced at He Kui and asked.

He Kui said: "I can't be sure about Hu Zhi, but Hu Zhi always feels that things are...!"

Before he finished speaking, Deputy General Yao said sternly: "He Kui, don't always think that the general who commands the army is the general, not you He Kui. Can you miss the military opportunity? "

He Kui sneered: "Mr. He is afraid that you will be impulsive and put the general in danger..."

"choke"!

The big knife was unsheathed, and the blade flashed. The blade of the big knife in Deputy General Yao's hand had already pressed against He Kui's throat. His eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said coldly: "You said we were trapped in the general? I have a fucking voice to say it again!"

"Stop!" Hu Zongmao's face turned cold, he grabbed Deputy General Yao's wrist, pushed it away, and shouted: "Deputy General Yao, you are so brave. You dare to use a knife and a gun in front of me?"

Deputy General Yao was shocked and hurriedly knelt down, "General, you are reckless and ask the general to punish him. But the general is loyal. In order to fight this battle, the general worked day and night, and the soldiers of the entire army swear to be loyal to the general to the death. After finally waiting for such a good opportunity, He Kui was timid and looked forward to the front and back. When Zhang Shuyan took Chu Huan, everything would be too late. We fought hard for days, but in the end, we could only make wedding clothes for Zhang Shuyan. General, your talent in command of the army is far better than Zhang Shuyan. If Zhang Shuyan steals the first merit, he will definitely show off his might in front of the general in the future. If the general can tolerate it, the general will never tolerate it!"

The generals knelt down one after another and said in unison: "General, please make a decision quickly. We will obey the general's order!"

Hu Zongmao was extremely conflicted at this moment. He was cautious and would not take any risks easily. He also felt that if the city opened the city to send troops, there seemed to be a considerable risk. However, seeing the fire in the Chu army camp outside the city, the Chu army soldiers fled in a panic, throwing their armor and crying at their parents. If such a great opportunity is missed, I am afraid I will regret it in the future.

The most important thing is that he and Zhang Shuyan had a disagreement. Although they were both under Zhu Lingyue's command, they looked down on each other. If Zhang Shuyan stole the first merit this time, Hu Zongmao would never accept it.

I was struggling and struggling in my heart, and suddenly I heard someone say, "General, look..."

Hu Zongmao hurriedly looked up, but saw a group of people racing towards the city gate. Deputy General Yao had already ordered the archers on the city to prepare. Seeing that the team of people approached, there were only a hundred people, all of them were cavalrymen, with more than a dozen torches illuminating, like a fire snake swimming over. One of the cavalry was holding a flag in his hand, and the flag was flying under the night sky. With the light of the fire, someone had already seen that the flying military flag was written with a dragon flying and phoenix dancing.

"It's the Jinzhou soldiers!" Someone had already started to scream.

Before Hu Zongmao could see clearly, there was a voice under the city shouting: "General Hu, don't shoot arrows. We are General Zhang's subordinates. Is General Hu here?"

Hu Zongmao poked out of the battlements, looked down from the top of the city, and said in a deep voice: "I am here, are you General Zhang's subordinates?"

A cavalry was urged from this team of people, but it was not a soldier dressed up, wearing a robe and a cap, raised his head and whispered: "General Hu, Huang Yutan is here, the general's divine power, and Hezhou City is as solid as a god, which is really gratifying!"

"It's Mr. Huang!" Hu Zongmao breathed a sigh of relief. Huang Yutan was Zhang Shuyan's aide. Since he appeared here, Zhang Shuyan's troops were naturally very true. He asked loudly: "Mr. Huang, has General Zhang arrived?"

Huang Yutan smiled and said, "General Hu, we have arrived at noon. God helps us. There was strong wind and sand during the day. We were only thirty miles away from the Chu camp. We had already found out about their camp. We were going to launch an attack during the day. Later, General Zhang discussed with the generals. When the night was late and the Chu army was unsuspecting, we launched a night attack on them...!"

"Did you lit the fire in Chu Camp?"

"That's right." Huang Yutan laughed and said, "General Zhang first sent people to sneak into the Chu camp to set fire. The Chu army was in chaos. Our army took advantage of the situation to attack. The Chu army was in chaos. Everyone said how great Chu Huan was. When I saw him today, it was just like this...!"

Hu Zongmao frowned and asked, "But I don't know if Mr. Huang doesn't go to chase the enemy, what's the point of coming here?"

Huang Yutan immediately restrained his favor and said loudly: "General Hu, General Zhang asked Huang to come because he wanted to thank General Hu for keeping his promise. Chu Huan had a disaster in the northwest and killed General Dongfang. General Zhang had to take Chu Huan with his own hands, both public and private. Therefore, General Zhang led his troops to chase him, and he must capture Chu Huan alive. General Zhang asked General Hu to guard the city. After General Zhang captured Chu Huan, he would thank General Hu again!"

Hu Zongmao laughed loudly, his voice was filled with anger: "He asked me to guard the city? What qualifications are Zhang Shuyan's right to give orders to me?" He clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "All the generals obey the orders, order the troops and follow me out of the city!"
