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 whole sky and earth are covered in darkness.


    ?This is also the most tired and sleepy time of the day for people. Even the soldiers on duty began to nap around the few remaining campfires because of sleepiness.


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


    ??In the originally dark and silent camp, a huge noise suddenly erupted and exploded suddenly!


    Under the swaying light and shadow of the bonfire and torches, it seems that countless figures are constantly swaying, big or small, bright or dark, accompanied by the roaring wind, the shrill shouts of soldiers and the ringing of the alarm gong. : "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"


    ?How could there be an enemy attack here? !


    Not only Xu Rong was confused, but even most of the soldiers were at a loss. This place was still more than a hundred miles away from Li Jue and Guo Bang. It was relatively safe in any case. It was even more obvious that even at night, There are also patrol teams dispatched to the outside of the camp. How could it be possible that there was no news at all and it was suddenly attacked by the enemy?


    ??But the scene in front of me was very vivid, the chaotic sounds, the shaking figures, and the soldiers'' screams beforehand all proved that something was indeed happening.


    Xu Rong fiercely opened the curtain of the big tent. He did not continue to ask about the current situation for the first time, but immediately ordered: "Raise the flag, beat the drum, and order all the soldiers to gather here!"


    "Deploy men and horses to guard the baggage and be careful of water leakage! All military princes and commanders will coordinate with the team to prevent the soldiers from disordering and stay on the spot! Anyone who disturbs the morale of the army will be killed! In addition, Hu Governor is ordered to gather troops and horses, and Come together! The whole army is in its place! Someone is in the middle to supervise the battle! The enemy''s troops are definitely not many in the middle of the night! As long as they hold on for a while, they will definitely retreat if they see that our troops are not in chaos!"


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


    Surrounded by the remaining soldiers, Xu Rong unfurled the flag at the Chinese army''s tent and began to organize defensive positions. His personal guards had already unfurled Xu Rong''s battle flag to stabilize the morale of the army. It also let more soldiers know that the Chinese army was not in chaos, at least Xu Rong was still there!


    Although he has not yet received any information on the number of enemy attacking troops, etc., Xu Rong believes that even if there are people, there will not be too many. The night attack itself is a very demanding thing. A large-scale force can do this. This kind of thing is absolutely impossible, so at most a few hundred people are standing up to the sky. As long as the Chinese army is not in chaos and the ministries gradually resume command, then these night attackers will inevitably retreat!


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


    “It’s Governor Hu!”


    ?Xu Rong''s guard with sharper eyes recognized the people among Ying Ying Zhuo and said happily. The two generals gathered together and communicated their orders. Even if there was a slight disturbance, it could be quickly calmed down.


    Xu Rong turned his head when he heard the sound. He was about to say hello, but he suddenly stopped because he saw on the faces of these people not looking around blankly, but staring like hungry wolves!


    This is not right!


    Xu Rong''s thoughts were spinning. Normally, troops that were attacked at night should stand in the center and pay attention to the movements around them. How could they only stare in one direction, unless it was...


    "Array up! Arrange quickly!... Face Hu Duhu! Hurry up!" Xu Rong quickly ordered the guards around him and the soldiers who had gathered around him.


    Although Xu Rong’s personal guards didn’t understand the reason, they quickly started to form their formations. However, the originally Chang’an imperial guards who had gathered were a little confused...


    "kill!"


    Hu Zhen''s face flickered under the firelight, but his eyes were fixed on Xu Rong under the battle flag. When he saw Xu Rong''s personal guards turning to defend in this direction, he shouted loudly and led his troops. The soldiers under his command immediately swarmed towards Xu Rong!


    The Chang''an Forbidden Army, which had just gathered at this time, had no idea what was going on. After hearing Xu Rong''s order, they felt baffled. Their movements were a little slower, and they were immediately killed by the Xiliang soldiers led by Hu Zhen. They were immediately in chaos. In a ball. "Bold Hu Zhen!" Xu Rong shouted angrily, "You want to rebel? Rebellion is a serious crime against the nine tribes! You still haven''t woken up! Anyone who captures Hu Zhen and surrenders will not be held accountable!"


    Xu Rong believed that just like he was leading the Chang''an Forbidden Army, Hu Zhen was not leading the original soldiers, and would be somewhat inconvenient to lead, so he hoped that by clarifying this, he would directly hold Hu Zhen accountable, which would disrupt the situation. These soldiers brought by Hu Zhen.


    "Hehehe..." Hu Zhen held the sword and ignored Xu Rong''s words. Instead, he pointed directly at Xu Rong and shouted to everyone around him, "...Kill him! You can go home!"


    “Um, I have to go home!”


    “Guarpi! Get out of the way!”


    Xu Rong didn''t understand the Xiliang soldiers at all, and he didn''t know that the system of the Xiliang soldiers was actually like an alliance. Even if the court separated the generals from the soldiers under their command, the grassroots military commanders and others below them were still A small command center, after Hu Zhen secretly summoned these people, he quickly reached a unified opinion...


    They all want to go home.


    I don’t want to continue wandering outside anymore…


    The comrades who were marching together yesterday suddenly swung their swords at each other. The Chang''an Forbidden Army could not react at all, and they did not form a formation in time. They were in a hurry and couldn''t resist. Suddenly, the Xiliang soldiers scattered and fled, while Xu Rong''s personal guards Although they formed a formation, they dispersed a lot in order to convey Xu Rong''s orders when the camp was in chaos. They have not been able to return now, so the number of people is not large. After the Chang''an Forbidden Army on the periphery was defeated in one fell swoop, , and was surrounded by Xiliang soldiers...


    Seeing that he could no longer resist, Xu Rong fought and retreated under the protection of his personal guards. After walking a few steps, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves flying on one side! I saw more than ten Xiliang cavalry, all wearing full-body armor, suddenly slanting out from behind Hu Zhen and charging straight towards him!


    "Hu Zhen! Why is this!" Xu Rong''s heart felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar, completely cold.


    ??These dozen or so Xiliang cavalry armors were hidden at the bottom of the box. They have never been taken out. This time, they risked their lives in an attempt to make a final decision in one fell swoop!


    ?Although there are only a dozen Xiliang cavalry, they are still unable to withstand the few remaining guards like Xu Rong. With one impact, the formation of the guards was completely smashed to pieces!


    ??The Xiliang soldiers roared and followed the Xiliang cavalry, drowning Xu Rong and others like a tide...


    Hu Zhen looked at the battle flag with the word "Xu" chopped down and falling from the air. He grinned and said: "Broken baby, the road is blocked by mud..."


    If Niu Fu''s execution of Dong Yue is still a normal act of fighting for power...


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