Shui Yun took out the sword in his hand, then wiped it against his neck, and then fell to the ground.

"It looks like Shuiyang City is about to turn into a sea of fire!" The servant looked at Shui Yun's corpse and said flatly.

As a faithful servant, he knew that his master was dead, and he had to follow his master if he wanted to be faithful, but he still had his own things to do, and he could not die, and to die was to live up to his master's respect for him.

He has to complete the tasks assigned by his master, and at the same time, he has to take care of Shui Yun's family and ensure that they leave the city safely.

The central army camp of the Chu army.

"General, look at the city!" Hou Weilong's lieutenant pointed to Shuiyang City and said.

Seeing that a fire had already broken out in Shuiyang City at this time, Hou Weilong frowned, and suddenly realized that it was not good: "Hurry up and rush into the city!" ”

Seeing that Shuiyang City was on fire, Xin Baili sneered, and then looked at Hou Weilong: "You are bound to withdraw your troops, Wu Qi boasted of winning a hundred battles, but he lost this battle!" ”

Hou Weilong's eyes glared at Xin Baili, and he said irritably: "Arrest him alive for me, I want to make him worse than dead!" ”

Although Wu Qi has been winning the war, and this time Hou Weilong went out to fight fiercely with Xinbaili, and defeated Xinbaili with an overwhelming advantage, but it was only a superficial victory.

Because Wu Qi's strategic intention was not achieved, he did not recapture the granary of Shuiyang City, and did not recapture the granary of Shuiyang City, which meant that there was no grain and grass for the rear convenience, and they had to withdraw their troops from the front line.

It can be said that this is a failure for Wu Qi, and it is also a very serious failure.

Hou Weilong also realized that he had not fulfilled Wu Qi's strategic intentions, so he was furious and wanted to capture Xin Baili, and torture him to vent his anger.

Xin Baili sneered, and then looked at everyone: "If you want to catch Lao Tzu alive, there is no way, but if you want Lao Tzu's life, and you feel that you have the ability, then come up and get it!" ”

Everyone looked at the appearance of Xinbaili and retreated one after another, although Xinbaili did not have the majestic posture of ten thousand enemies, but standing there, as if a victorious, so that the soldiers did not dare to approach easily.

Hou Weilong looked at the retreating group of soldiers: "Don't you even dare to kill a person covered in wounds?" Those who catch the new hundred miles alive will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver! ”

Under the heavy reward, there was still a brave man, a group of soldiers rushed forward, Xinbaili held his battle axe with one hand and slashed the enemy, he finally kept his honor, not captured, but his arms were broken, and at the moment of being captured alive, he hit his head on the ground and died!

It can be described as very heroic.

Hou Weilong's legion entered Shuiyang City, which was burning with fire at this time.

"My lord, the granary of Shuiyang City has already burned into flames, but someone has been sent to put out the fire, but even if the fire is extinguished, the granary of the granary is not enough for us to continue to fight the Zhao family!" Hou Weilong's lieutenant said to Hou Weilong.

Hou Weilong nodded, when he saw the fire burning in Shuiyang City, he knew that the granary of Shuiyang City would definitely not be able to be saved.

He originally wanted one group to besiege New Hundred Miles, and some people to attack the city, but New Hundred Miles was quite heroic, and it was a battle of trapped beasts, and his soldiers were also quite heroic.

Therefore, Hou Weilong had to mobilize all the legions and besiege Xinbaili, which was bound to annihilate the Xinbaili army.

But because all the military forces besieged Xinbaili, and Shuiyang City he couldn't ask, which created the defenders in Shuiyang City to have a plan to destroy themselves, that is, to burn the city by themselves and burn down the granary.

"Pass my order, the people of Shuiyang City, help the abuse, the crime is unforgivable, and all of them will be beheaded according to the law!" Hou Weilong said flatly.

"Isn't this general okay? The people of this Shuiyang City are all Chu people, and Da Sima also said that he should get along with the Chu people in the broken city! Hou Weilong's lieutenant looked at Hou Weilong and said.

Hou Weilong frowned: "Are they still worthy of being called Chu people?" Burned the granary of our Chu country, these people are not worthy of being Chu people! ”

The deputy general looked at Hou Weilong, he didn't want to carry out Hou Weilong's order, because everyone is from Chu, and they are born from the same root, so why be in a hurry to fry each other?

But Hou Weilong is his boss, and if he doesn't carry it out, that is, he will disobey the military order and be beheaded according to the law!

"No!" The lieutenant general said with a sigh.

Originally, because of the granary, a fire had already burned in Shuiyang City, and Hou Weilong issued an order to slaughter the city, and the people who were originally fighting the fire did not go to fight the fire, but added a fire to the granary to make the fire burn more violently.

And the sound of wailing came from the entire Shuiyang City, this was Hou Weilong's revenge on them.

Although he won the war, he failed to fulfill Wu Qi's strategic intentions, which was fundamentally a failure.

The first time he held the power of the army alone, he failed like this, you can imagine how angry Hou Weilong was in his heart.

This is the first time that Hou Weilong has mastered the military power alone to go on the expedition, and he has followed Wu Qi before, although he also has the military power, but there is Wu Qi's command behind him.

And this time it was he who completely controlled the military power alone, without Wu Qi's intervention behind him, and fought very beautifully in the battle, completely annihilating the army of Xinbaili, and also beheading Xinbaili, besieging Shuiyang City, and breaking Shuiyang City, but the granary of Shuiyang City burned down.

Everything he did could be said to have been done in vain, and he was likely to be blamed by Wu Qi, so he wanted to take revenge on the entire people of Shuiyang City and make them pay for it.

And because Hou Weilong issued the order to slaughter the city, the soldiers in Shuiyang City who were going to surrender also took up arms to resist, they didn't want to sit back and be slaughtered.

And the ordinary people of Shuiyang City also took up arms to resist, but all this had little effect in front of Hou Weilong's army.

The entire massacre lasted for five days and five nights, and the entire Shuiyang City became a ruin, which was once the largest granary city in the eastern part of the Chu State, but now it has become a ruin.

And there was no food in the city, only corpses all over the city.

At the same time, Hou Weilong also ordered people to build a Jingguan to threaten the noble forces of various ministries and tell them to be obedient, otherwise Shuiyang City would be their end.

However, Hou Weilong's subordinates were very disgusted by this, because they felt that this was a Chu person killing a Chu person, and there was no need for the war to be so cruel.

Although they were regarded as barbarians by the countries of the Central Plains, they fought fiercely, cruelly, and without etiquette, and they were even more verbal and written against the major vassal states, and they refuted it with a sentence I am a barbarian.

But in the midst of the internal war, their ferocious hearts were shaken, and they could not justifiably say such things as 'I am a barbarian'.

However, this is Hou Weilong's order, and they can only carry it out, but they are full of helplessness and reluctance when they carry it out.
