    "The general will definitely live up to his lord's trust!!!"

    After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly Wenhan spoke and stopped Zhao Yun.

    "slow!"

    Zhao Yun turned around, with a look of confusion on his face.

    "Zhang Xiu has the ability to be a general and has a very high reputation in the north. If he is willing to surrender, you can accept it. If not, you will capture him. However, if this person does not know good from evil, you must  After fighting to the death, there is no need to stay anymore.¡±

    Zhao Yun suddenly had a look of ecstasy on his face. How could a person be ruthless? After all, Zhang Xiu was his senior brother. Even if he was an enemy general, if Zhao Yun killed him, he would feel guilty in his heart.  However, Wen Han arranged this, and Zhao Yun asked himself that even if he had no choice but to kill Zhang Xiu in the end, he could only blame him for bringing the blame on himself.  In this way, no matter how guilty Zhao Yun is, it is only extremely low.

    "My lord is in great numbers, Yun Xian thanked my lord for not killing him on Zhang Xiu's behalf!"

    "Hey, Zilong, don't be in a hurry to thank me. Whether Zhang Xiu can survive tonight depends on how he chooses. Okay, go out and get ready."

    "Yes! Lord!"

    After Zhao Yun bowed his hands in salute, he exited the tent.  Wenhan and Xilong looked at each other. After they smiled at each other, Wenhan said.

    "It's time for the two of us to get ready."

    Today¡¯s night comes earlier than before, and the night is darker than before.  Outside Niyang City, groups of soldiers and horses roared out. Zhang Xiu, wearing golden armor, had a confident smile on his face, like a victorious general.

    "Wen Bufan, tonight I will let you, the incompetent hussar, lose his life here!!"

    Zhang Xiu said something coldly in his heart, and his eyes turned cold and terrifying.  The generals and soldiers behind him were all very proud, as if what they were about to fight were just a group of lambs.

    Zhang Xiu and his troops seemed to be fighting impatiently, and their advance was getting faster and faster. Later, due to Zhang Xiu's active attack, Wen Han suffered successive defeats and withdrew his camp for another five miles.  When Zhang Ji and his army arrived, the night became even darker, so dark that it was difficult to tell the time.

    The camp in the distance was dead silent, as if there were bursts of cold air.  Zhang Xiu concentrated his expression and prepared to order the sergeant to charge. At this time, Hu Che'er who was beside Zhang Xiu tried to persuade him.

    "General Zhang, do you want to send someone to investigate first, and then march?"

    "Hmph! That Wen Bufan was killed by us a long time ago, so there is no need to worry about it. If he is discovered by the patrolling civilian soldiers and scares the snake, then Wen Bufan escapes, then it will be a waste of effort for us!"

    "But, General Zhang!"

    "That's enough! Nonsense fiction, tonight is a great opportunity to annihilate Wen Bufan's army in one fell swoop! All the troops listen to the order and follow me to fight!!"

    Zhang Xiu pinched the horse's belly and rushed out like a speeding arrow.  The more than 25,000 soldiers and horses behind him all raised their weapons and shouted loudly, like fierce tigers and wolves, galloping closely behind Zhang Xiu.

    Zhang Xiu roared in with his horse galloping. After rushing into Wenhan's camp, he shouted loudly.

    "Where is Wen Bufan!! Your Grandpa Zhang is here to take your life!!"

    Zhang Xiu's shouts echoed in the valley, but surprisingly, there was no response in the camp, and not a single soldier could be seen.  Zhang Xiu's heart suddenly tightened, and he was suddenly startled, and his face suddenly turned extremely pale.

    The soldiers who were chasing after him crowded into the military camp. Each of them had a fierce look on their face, holding their weapons tightly in their hands, ready to fight at any time.  Unexpectedly, in this spacious camp, except for the troops of the own army, not a single ghost could be seen.

    In an instant, bursts of dense noise rang out in the grass around the camp, and then streaks of fire appeared in all directions, and suddenly the dark night was illuminated brightly!

    "shoot!!!"

    Wenhan's face was cold, and as his hand suddenly fell, thousands of burning rockets shot into the sky, and then quickly fell into the camp.  The sound of countless arrows piercing the void rang out. Zhang Xiu and his soldiers looked at the fire all over the sky, and their expressions all changed dramatically in shock.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? !  !

    Countless rockets were seen, covering the void within the sight line, and they suddenly fell. I don¡¯t know how many soldiers were hit by the rockets, and their bodies were ablaze. They screamed miserably and rushed around in panic.  At the same time, rockets also hit the tents, railings, and straw piles prepared by Wen Han's men in the camp.

    Wenhan's gestures continued to fall, and there were nearly 10,000 soldiers in the surrounding area, plucking their bowstrings desperately, and the rockets continued to fly in the void.  As more and more rockets fell, the whole camp was in flames. Zhang Jun's soldiers were in chaos, pushing each other to escape from their burning comrades.  Dozens of rockets fired at Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu stopped being astonished and stabbed him several times.?, after knocking down the rocket, he shouted hurriedly.

    ¡°Withdraw, withdraw quickly!!!¡±

    Zhang Xiu turned his horse's head and wanted to escape, but there was chaos all around, there were fires everywhere, and the surrounding soldiers and horses were forced to rush into each other randomly by the rockets from the sky.  Zhang Xiu couldn't break out of the camp for a while.  When Zhang Xiu's soldiers heard Zhang Xiu's call to retreat, they immediately rushed to the entrance of the camp like crazy.  However, Zhang Jun had too many soldiers and horses, and there were burning flames everywhere around him. There was too little room for them to escape. However, there was nothing these people could not do in order to escape. The people behind them pushed wildly.  The men and horses in front, the men and horses in front did not expect that their comrades would be so cruel. They did not care to avoid their clutches, but they did not care to avoid the rockets falling from the sky.  Zhang Xiu's troops in front were moved by his own troops in the rear. They could not hold back and were unable to move forward or backward. It seemed that they were in a deadlock.

    At this time, the venue was filled with shouts, curses, screams, arrows piercing the air, and flames burning.  In this short period of time alone, Zhang Jun suffered thousands of casualties.  And more than half of the dead died at the hands of their colleagues. They were either pushed to the ground, trampled to death, or pushed aside by the burning fire and burned to death.

    Despite this tragic scene, Wen Han did not change his expression at all. His dull eyes made people feel horrified, and his hands continued to fall. More than ten thousand soldiers fired at random, as if they were going to swallow up the fire and burn it.  More vigorous!  !  !

    The sea of ????fire roared, and more and more Zhang Bing died in the sea of ????fire.  Zhang Xiu felt like he was in a big furnace, surrounded by devouring flames.

    "Go away, go away!!!"

    Perhaps because his life was threatened, Zhang Xiu lost his mind. Suddenly, Zhang Xiu's face became extremely ferocious and terrifying, like an evil ghost. He raised his tiger-headed golden spear and killed the soldiers who were blocking him.  Several soldiers were caught unawares and were stabbed to death by Zhang Xiu.  Zhang Xiu rushed past, stepping on the corpses of his own soldiers. Seeing someone blocking the front again, the cold tiger-headed golden spear was raised again.  The soldiers in the front noticed the screams from behind and saw that the murderer was actually their lord. Although they were extremely angry, they did not dare to resist and quickly asked people to come out to let Zhang Xiu pass.  Zhang Xiu looked crazy, and his ferocious face was particularly terrifying in the firelight. He rode straight towards him. If anyone blocked him, he would immediately raise his gun and kill him.  When he rushed out of the camp, he found that there were only more than 10,000 people who had escaped with him, and the rest were still struggling desperately in the sea of ????fire.

    These soldiers and horses were the heaviest relics Zhang Ji left to him. Seeing that almost half of his army was still in doubt about whether they were alive or dead, Zhang Xiu was so angry that his eyes were red!  After losing so many soldiers and horses, we must not lose Niyang again, otherwise the Northland will not be protected!  !

    ¡°Withdraw!! Withdraw to Niyang!!!¡±

    At this moment, Zhang Xiu only had one thought in his mind, which was to preserve these troops and defend Niyang!  Zhang Xiu galloped away, leading more than ten thousand remaining soldiers towards Niyang.  Behind him, there were ten thousand soldiers still in the camp burning with blazing flames.

    Wenhan seemed to want to let Zhang Xiu go. After Zhang Xiu led the remaining ten thousand soldiers to escape not far away, he ordered two troops to guard the gate of the camp. He led an army to guard the front gate. Dozens of Zhang Xiu who escaped from the sea of ????fire  Soldiers, when they saw a sudden surge of people in front of the door, a general wearing a battered silver armor and a black gold tiger-patterned tabard, leading the army, was suddenly frightened and turned pale. Everyone looked desperate.

    "I am the Han Hussars General, Wen Bufan! If you don't want to die, quickly put down your weapons and surrender. Those who surrender will not be killed!!"

    Almost in an instant, these dozens of frightened Zhang Bings immediately put down their weapons, fell to their knees, and begged for mercy, as if it was a matter of course.

    Wenhan ordered the soldiers to drive them aside. Then several waves of Zhang soldiers who rushed out of the sea of ????fire followed the same pattern, and everyone was captured by Wenhan's soldiers and horses.  As for Xilong at the gate of the rear camp, he also surrendered the remaining soldiers abandoned by Zhang Xiu just like Wenhan.  Until the last wave of Zhang soldiers escaped, Wen Han's soldiers and horses killed and stopped them, and later surrendered.  There was no more roar of pain from the blazing camp.

    Wenhan quickly ordered the soldiers to count the number of people. He collected about 5,000 remaining soldiers. As for the information from Xilong, he collected more than 2,000 soldiers.

    In other words, five to six thousand lives were devoured in this sea of ??fire!

    But it is said that while Wenhan and Xilong were gathering Zhang Xiu's remnant army, Zhang Xiu led more than 10,000 of his remnant troops to flee to Hongtupo.  Zhang Xiu suddenly reined in his horse, turned around and looked around anxiously. Seeing that there were no civilian soldiers chasing him, most of the impatience and anxiety in his heart disappeared. He looked at the surrounding terrain again, frowned suddenly, and felt an ominous feeling.  Come.

    The area around Hongtu Slope is full of red soil, which is why it got its name.  Of course, there are many legends about why the soil of Hongtu Slope is red. The most common one is that the location of Hongtu Slope is special.??Since the Warring States Period, all the armies fighting decisive battles in this northern land have repeatedly chosen this area as an ambush area for their soldiers and horses. Each time, they would kill in rivers of blood. Over time, the blood here accumulated and penetrated, and the color of the soil changed.  It turned blood red.

    "Hu Che'er! Where is this place!!"

    Because of the darkness, Zhang Xiu did not notice the color of the underground soil. Hu Che'er behind him heard Zhang Xiu's question and quickly looked around the surrounding area. The more Hu Che'er looked, the more familiar the terrain became, and he seemed to already have the answer in his heart.  However, he still rolled off his saddle and dismounted, grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground, rubbed it in front of his eyes, looked at it carefully, and then shouted loudly.

    "Lord! The color of this soil is red! This must be a red soil slope!"

    "Red soil slope!! Escape quickly!!! There is probably an ambush set by Wen Bufan here!!!"

    As soon as Zhang Xiu heard the word "Red Earth Slope", he suddenly felt countless cold air rising from the ground. As soon as he shouted, he only heard the vibration of countless soldiers and armors on the surrounding high slopes, and then the bow strings were pulled.  Crisp sound.

    These sounds were like the calls of evil spirits, frightening Zhang Xiu and other soldiers to the point where they all turned pale on the spot.

    "Zhang Xiu!! I have received orders from my military advisor and have been waiting here for a long time. Soldiers, please greet them well!!! Shoot!!!"

    Xu Huang was on a high slope somewhere, shouting loudly, his ax fell suddenly, and all six thousand crossbowmen on the high slopes everywhere shot arrows in unison.  The sound of countless arrows piercing the void resounded densely in all directions. These arrows were shot high or low, from far or near. Because of the black color, Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses could not see the arrows clearly.  Some people can tell by sound, or they can only see clearly when the arrow is about to be shot.  However, how could they have time to dodge the arrows when they were really close? What¡¯s more, the directions in which these arrows came were extremely strange!

    In an instant, there was a sound of arrows piercing the soldiers' armor, and they screamed when the arrows were hit. They screamed in panic and fear, like ghosts crying and wolves howling.  Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses were shot into a mess!
