Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 822 People see people's hearts (5)

   This is the darkest time of the day, coupled with the fog formed by the temperature drop in the middle of the night, the entire sky and the earth are covered in darkness.

   This time is also the most exhausted and sleepy time of the day. Even the soldiers on duty began to nap around the remaining bonfires because of fatigue.

Xu Rong, who had just rested on the couch in the big tent in the camp, suddenly felt his heart beating wildly, as if something big was about to happen. At the beginning, he just blindly thought that he was tired and didn't pay much attention to it. , just closed his eyes, and took a few long, deep breaths, but Xu Rong opened his eyes immediately!

  In the dark and quiet camp, suddenly there was a huge noise, and it exploded suddenly!

Under the swaying light and shadow of bonfires and torches, it seems that countless figures are constantly swaying, big or small, bright or dark, accompanied by the whistling wind, the screams of soldiers accompanied by the sound of the alarm gong : "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

  How could there be an enemy attack here? !

It's not just Xu Rong who is wondering, even most of the soldiers are at a loss. There is still a distance of more than a hundred miles from Li Jue and Guo Si. No matter how you say it is relatively safe, it can be seen that even at night, everyone There are also teams assigned to patrol the outside of the camp. How could it be possible that there is no news at all, and they are suddenly attacked by the enemy?

  But the scene in front of him is vivid, the chaotic sounds, the shaking of figures, and the screams of the soldiers before the moment, all prove that something really happened.

  Xu Rong opened the curtain of the big tent fiercely, and did not continue to ask what is going on right now, but immediately ordered: "Raise the general flag, beat the drums, and order all the soldiers to gather here!"

"Drop people and horses to watch over the baggage, and be careful of the water! All the army princes and Qu Chang will lead the team together, so that the soldiers will not be chaotic, and they will be stationed on the spot! Anyone who disturbs the army's mind will be killed! In addition, Hu Duhu is ordered to call the soldiers and horses, and then This collection! The whole army has its place! A central supervisor! The enemy army raided late at night, and there must not be many soldiers! As long as you hold on for a while, and see that our army is calm, they will definitely retreat!"

   Most of the soldiers around Xu Rong immediately agreed loudly, and then immediately sent orders to leave.

Surrounded by the rest of his own soldiers, Xu Rong set up a banner at the large tent of the Chinese Army and began to organize a defensive position. His personal guards had already set up Xu Rong's battle banner to stabilize the morale of the army. It also let more soldiers know that the Chinese army is not in chaos, at least Xu Rong is still there!

Although we haven't received any information about the number of enemy attacking units, etc., Xu Rong believes that even if there are people, there will not be too many. Night attack itself is a very demanding task. Large-scale troops do this This kind of thing is absolutely impossible, so at most a few hundred people will stand up to the sky, and as long as the Chinese army is not chaotic and the various ministries gradually resume command, then these night raiders will definitely retreat!

  Suddenly, the ground trembled slightly, and then a few torches appeared from the dark night. Around the torches, some people and horses flickered between the light and shadow, as if walking on the edge of light and darkness...

   "It's Governor Hu!"

  Xu Rong's personal guard with sharper eyes recognized the person among Ying Ying Zhuo Zhuo, and said happily. The two generals gathered in one place, and the orders were clear. Even if there was a slight disturbance, it could be calmed down quickly.

  Xu Rong turned his head to look at the sound, just about to say hello, but suddenly stopped, because what he saw on the faces of these people who came was not looking around blankly, but staring straight at them like hungry wolves!

   This is not right!

  Xu Rong’s thoughts turned. Normally speaking, the troops that have suffered a night attack should of course stand at the center and then pay attention to the movements around them. How can they only stare in one direction here, unless it is...

   "Formation! Formation quickly!...Facing Governor Hu! Quickly!" Xu Rong quickly ordered the guards around him and some soldiers who had already gathered.

  Although Xu Rong's personal guards didn't know why, they quickly started to line up, but the original Chang'an imperial guards who gathered here were a little at a loss...

"kill!"

Hu Zhen's face was flickering under the firelight, but his eyes were fixed on Xu Rong who was under the battle flag. When he saw Xu Rong's guards turned to defend in this direction, he shouted violently and led the others The soldiers under him immediately rushed towards Xu Rong!

The Chang'an Forbidden Army who had gathered at this time did not know what happened. After hearing Xu Rong's order, they also felt baffled. Their movements were a little slow, and they were immediately hacked and killed by the Xiliang soldiers led by Hu Zhen. into a ball.

   "Bold Hu Zhen!" Xu Rong was extremely angry, and shouted loudly, "Rebellion is not possible? Rebellion is a felony for punishing the nine clans! You have not yet come to your senses! Capture Hu Zhen and surrender, and you will not be held accountable!"

Xu Rong thought that just as he led the Chang'an Imperial Army, Hu Zhen led not the soldiers under him, and it would be somewhat inconvenient to lead. Therefore, he hoped that after clarifying this, he said that Hu Zhen should be directly held accountable, so as to disrupt the situation. These soldiers brought by Hu Zhen.

   "Hehehe..." Hu Zhen held the saber, ignored Xu Rong's words at all, pointed at Xu Rong, and shouted to the surroundings, "...Kill him! You can go home!"

   "I want to go home!"

   "Melon skin! Get out of the way!"

Xu Rong didn't know Xiliang soldiers at all, nor did he know that the system of Xiliang soldiers was like an alliance. Even if the imperial court separated the generals from the subordinate soldiers, the grassroots army Hou Quchang and others were still the same. A small command center, after Hu Zhen secretly summoned these people, he quickly obtained a unified opinion...

   want to go home.

   I don’t want to continue wandering outside…

The comrades-in-arms who marched together yesterday suddenly swung their blades at each other. The Chang'an Forbidden Army couldn't react at all, and they didn't form a formation in time. They couldn't resist in a hurry. Although they formed a formation, in order to deliver Xu Rong's orders when the camp was in chaos, they scattered a lot around, and they have not yet returned, so the number of people is not large. , and was surrounded by Xiliang soldiers...

   Seeing that he couldn't resist, Xu Rong fought and retreated under the protection of his personal guards. After walking a few steps, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes flying on one side! I saw more than ten Xiliang iron cavalry, all of them covered with full body armor, suddenly pierced diagonally from behind Hu Zhen, and rushed straight!

   "Hu Zhen! Why did this happen!" Xu Rong's heart was completely cold as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

   These more than ten Xiliang cavalry armor Hu Zhen's private possession at the bottom of the box has never been taken out, and this time he is willing to go all out, trying to make a deal with one action!

  Although there were only a dozen or so Xiliang iron cavalry, they were still unstoppable by the few remaining guards like Xu Rong, and the formation of the guards was completely smashed under one blow!

  The Xiliang soldiers howled, followed behind the Xiliang iron cavalry, and submerged Xu Rong and others like a tide...

  Hu Zhen watched the battle flag with the word "Xu" being chopped down and fell from the air, grinned, and said: "Small baby, the mud is blocking the road..."

   If it is said that Niu Fu beheading Dong Yue is still a normal act of fighting for power...

   Then Xu Rong's death was the beginning of the completely indiscriminate internal strife in the Xiliang Legion...
