Honghuang: Senior Brother of the Chan Sect, I am Guangchengzi

Chapter 277 Beibo's Defeat and Black Tiger Arrives

Although he was the Marquis of Beibai, he lived a life of luxury all day long and had long forgotten how it felt to kill the enemy on horseback. Su Hu was a vassal of Jizhou, guarding the border, eating and wearing the same clothes as the soldiers all day long, so naturally he knew better how to kill the enemy.

But Chong Yingbiao later brought two powerful generals, Jin Kui and Huang Yuanji, to help, which temporarily stabilized the Beibo army and allowed them to turn around and attack again.

As the battle became more and more murderous, dark clouds covered the earth and murderous aura locked the sky. The deployment of troops was just like feeling for fire under a lamp, and even torches could hardly illuminate the gloomy and eerie atmosphere.

Several generals fought, thousands of war horses were like dragons, fire illuminated the soldiers, there were thousands of red clouds, lights and shadows of war horses, and thousands of flames, but in the end, the Beibo army was ambushed and seemed slightly inferior, and was gradually wiped out by the Jizhou army.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chong Houhu had to raise his knife to repel Su Hu, while Chong Yingbiao also tried his best to protect his father and fight his way out to escape.

The two men were like a lost dog or a fish that had escaped a net. They barely managed to escape and ran hurriedly along the way. It was already late at night and they didn't know the way. They only cared about saving their lives.

Su Hu chased the remnants of the defeated army for more than 20 miles before calling back his troops. This battle can be said to be a complete victory.

Chong Houhu and his son Chong Yingbiao were leading a group of defeated soldiers and marching forward, while behind them were two great generals, Huang Yuanji and Sun Ziyu, urging the rear troops to catch up.

When they were halfway there, Chonghouhu suddenly stopped moving forward, and Chongyingbiao who was around him also stopped.

Chong Houhu looked at the dark army in front of him and said bitterly: "Since I led the army to train, I have never experienced such a big defeat! I wanted to conquer Jizhou and lead you to gain unprecedented merit.

I never thought that in these few days, the rebels would secretly raid our camp and fight in the dark of night without any preparation, so we are now defeated! How can I not take revenge for such a deep hatred!
But Su Hu and I have a hatred for each other in the military and on the battlefield. We fought each other only for the morality in our own hearts. Although I hate him, it is not as deep as my hatred for Ji Chang!

Xibohou was supposed to fight with me, but he actually wanted to be safe, disobeyed my orders, kept his troops in place, and watched the fight from a mountain. Such behavior really makes me hate him!"

Chong Yingbiao was also unable to conceal his anger, but in order to make a long-term plan, he immediately replied: "I know that you are furious, but my army has just been defeated and has lost its fighting spirit.

Although it is said that the army of grief will win, but the heroic spirit in my heart is gone, and it is hopeless to grieve. Instead of fighting with an egg against a rock, it is better to keep the army in place and send one army to urge Xibo Hou Jichang to raise an army, and then the two armies will merge and attack Jizhou together. "

Chonghouhu thought about it and agreed, so he nodded and said, "My son is right. Well, let's gather the troops tomorrow and find a place to set up camp. I can also go and call for help. Humph, I have been the Northern Marquis for so long, so I have some connections after all."

Before he finished speaking, they heard another cannon shot in the distance. Everyone turned around and saw another person coming to kill them. It was Su Hu's eldest son Su Quanzhong.

Seeing that Su Quanzhong was chasing them relentlessly and even dared to come here alone, Chong Houhu and Chong Yingbiao were immediately furious.

Just as he was about to lead the army to kill this man, another three thousand cavalry arrived and entangled the remaining army, leaving Su Quanzhong alone facing Chong Houhu and his son.

Fortunately, the other generals also drew their attention at this time. Huang Yuanji rode his horse and brandished his sword, aiming directly at Su Quanzhong's life.

Su Quanzhong was unwilling to fall behind, and he also swung the halberd in his hand to fight back. When the two horses met, another fierce battle broke out.

Both of them were living heroes. Just when the outcome was uncertain, another general came galloping on his horse, seized the opportunity, and fought Su Quanzhong together.

Facing such an enemy, Su Quanzhong showed no fear at all. Instead, he fought bravely, wielding his pair of halberds so skillfully that no matter how many knives and forks he could throw at him, he could not block them.

Instead, he seized the opportunity and swung his halberd back. Sun Ziyu immediately screamed and fell off his horse with a wail. Chong Houhu and his son knew that they could not hesitate any longer, so they immediately went to join the group attack.

When Su Quanzhong saw the two Northern Marquises coming on the field, he also showed his might, like a tiger stirring the wind and a dragon stirring the sea. He alone had three generals and was not at a disadvantage.

The battle was in full swing when Su Quanzhong showed a flaw. Chong Yingbiao did not suspect anything and, anxious to make a contribution, immediately raised his sword and attacked.

Unexpectedly, Su Quanzhong was like a dove in the wind or a fish in the water. He nimbly dodged Chong Yingbiao's knife and ripped off half of Chong Houhu's golden leash. He was only one step away from chopping off his left leg.

Chong Houhu was horrified when he saw this, and immediately jumped off his horse and ran outside. Chong Yingbiao also knew that he was too anxious and almost cost his father his life, so he was so anxious that he was at a loss from time to time.

Su Quanzhong grasped the opportunity very well. Seeing this chance, he immediately stabbed with his halberd again. Although Chong Yingbiao dodged in time, he was still stabbed in the left arm. His sleeve was covered in blood and he almost fell off his horse. He had no power to resist.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Quanzhong swung his halberd again, wanting to kill Chong Yingbiao once and for all.

Fortunately, Huang Yuanji stepped forward and held him, thus saving his life.

Chong Houhu, who was outside, saw that the situation was not good, and immediately led his troops to break out, and rescued Chong Yingbiao and Huang Yuanji.

Although Su Quanzhong wanted to give chase, his 3,000 cavalrymen were badly damaged at this time, and he was afraid that it would be inconvenient to move steadily in the dark, so he had to gather his men and horses and return to Jizhou city.

When they returned to Jizhou City, someone came to report to Su Hu that Su Quanzhong had arrived. Su Hu summoned Su Quanzhong to the palace and asked, "Have you caught the thief?"

Su Quanzhong shook his head in shame and said, "I really failed my father's kindness. Although I have been lying in ambush in Wugang Town for a long time, I rushed forward to break out when I saw the defeated army coming.

Although he stabbed Sun Ziyu to death, picked Chong Houhu's shin guard, and injured Chong Yingbiao's left hand, it was a pity that he failed. The two men were rescued by the generals, but they were afraid of the darkness and did not dare to pursue them, so they had to turn back. "

Su Hu was not angry, but nodded slightly and said: "With such a lesson, the old thief will surely learn a lesson."

There was singing and dancing in Jizhou City, but the Beibo army was becoming increasingly silent.

After being repelled by Su Hu, they could still say that this man was cunning and had disregarded the principles of benevolence and righteousness and launched a sneak attack. However, at this time Su Quanzhong came head-on and they still could not stop him. Instead, they were killed by him seven times.

Sun Ziyu died tragically, and even his body could not be brought back, so he could only be buried in a foreign land. Others also had injuries that were difficult to heal. Chonghouhu, the Marquis of Beibo, almost had his left leg chopped off by a junior. He was so humiliated that he could hardly swallow it.

Just when he was feeling sad and wondering if he had outgrown his skill and should abdicate, Huang Yuanji knew what his master was thinking and stepped forward to say, "Why should you be so sad? You must know that victory and defeat are common in the military. Last night, I was on guard and fell into a treacherous trap.

Although we were ambushed today, we were able to save our lives. You can send a letter urging the troops to go to Xiqi and ask the Marquis of Xibo to quickly dispatch troops and horses.

One is to ask for help from the soldiers, and the other is to avenge today's revenge. What do you think?" Chong Houhu felt that this was the only way to go. After all, compared to his fiefdom, Xiqi was the closest to here, and he was already seriously injured at this time, so he really didn't want to mobilize his own forces.

He pondered for a moment and said hesitantly, "Ji Chang has kept his troops in place and is waiting to see whether the outcome will be achieved. If I go and urge him now, I'm afraid he will be charged with 'disobeying the imperial decree', which would be a bargain for him."

While he was hesitating, a large number of people suddenly rushed over from the front.

When everyone saw this, they were horrified, their souls were out of their bodies, and even Chong Yingbiao felt disheartened. He thought that the Jizhou army had come to kill them again, and he wished he could surrender.

On the contrary, the veteran Chong Houhu was more courageous. He mounted his horse and looked forward, and saw two or three flags flying in front of him. Under the flags, there was a strong man with a face as thin as the bottom of a pot, red beard as thick as roots, white eyebrows as thick as flying, eyes as white as gold, and riding a beast with fire eyes and golden pupils.

This sturdy man wore a Nine-Cloud Flaming Flying Beast Crown, a golden chain mail armor, a bright red robe, and a white jade belt around his waist. He looked very majestic, and some of his features actually resembled Chong Houhu.

Seeing this strong man, Chonghouhu couldn't help but feel happy and laughed, "This is my brother Heihu! With Heihu here, I can accomplish great things!"

At this time, Heihu led the army into the military camp, dismounted from his horse, and saw that his brother was covered in blood and his nephew was as pale as gold paper. He was immediately furious, and took off his armor and bowed deeply to Chonghouhu.

"Hei Hu, please come on, I am sorry for letting you suffer so much, I hope you will forgive me!"

Chong Yingbiao also dismounted immediately, bowed and thanked him, "Uncle, how are you? Yingbiao is sorry for not coming to meet you."

Chonghouhu quickly helped Heihu up. Although he was still a little weak, he laughed loudly: "As long as you are here, I feel at ease. If you are not here, I don't know what to do."

Seeing that his brother was already disheartened, Chong Heihu hated Su Hu even more for his cunningness. He actually dared to deceive his superiors. It was really hateful!
Chong Heihu is a vassal of Caozhou. He could not hide the fact that he led a large army here today from others, and would naturally be discovered by the spies of Jizhou.

When the spy reported the news, Su Hu could not help but bow his head in silence. After a while, he said, "That Chonghouhu is extremely talented, has superb martial arts skills, and is well versed in the mysteries. All the generals in the city are no match for him. What can we do?"

Su Quanzhong had just accomplished a great feat and was feeling very proud. When he saw Su Hu destroying his prestige and boosting the morale of others, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, if an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. With all the heroes in the court, there is nothing to fear from Chong Heihu!"

Su Hu sighed, "You are too young and ignorant. You are conceited about your bravery, but you don't know that there are always people better than you. Do you know that Chong Heihu once met a strange man in the wilderness and was able to practice Taoism and magical powers?

Someone once saw with his own eyes that Chong Heihu could easily take down an enemy general in a million-strong army. Even if you are very strong, how can you resist this magical power?"

Su Quanzhong shouted, "Father, you are destroying our own spirit. No matter how powerful Hei Hu is, he is just a vassal of Caozhou. I am not even afraid of the Marquis of Beibo and his son!
Even those two were defeated by me, so why should I be afraid of a small Caozhou lord like him! Now I will prove it to you, father. If I don't capture Chong Heihu alive, I will never come back to see you!"

Seeing that Su Quanzhong didn't listen to him and even wanted to fight alone, Su Hu was immediately furious: "You are courting your own destruction, don't blame me for not warning you!"

But Su Quanzhong is just a young man, a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger. How could he listen to such kind advice?

Instead, he thought that Su Hu was looking down on him, and he wanted to do something to prove himself to his father.

Su Quanzhong jumped on his horse, opened the city gate, and rode away, facing the army that had gathered again in the distance. He stood up and shouted, "One of you go to the Beibo army and tell Chong Heihu to fight me!"

This is going to be another round of confrontation!
Su Quanzhong was of noble status and was the next prince of Jizhou, so naturally no one dared to disobey his orders, and someone immediately went to the front of the army to challenge them.

Because Jizhou was a victorious army before, they were quite confident in challenging each other. The noise was so loud that it was instantly heard by the spies in Caozhou's army and reported.

Hearing that it was Su Quanzhong who came to challenge again, Chong Houhu immediately said to Chong Heihu, "Brother Heihu, Su Quanzhong is the eldest son of Su Hu. Although he is young, he is very promising and brave.

I have many soldiers under my command, and none of them can match him. I almost died at his hands before, so you must be very careful on this trip!"

Logically speaking, Chong Houhu should have kept such deeds to himself and not told anyone else.

But Chong Heihu is his closest brother, and Chong Houhu doesn't care about exposing his family's shame. The most important thing is to keep his brother safe.

"Don't worry, brother. I have my own plans." Chong Heihu replied, but in fact he was also thinking about something in his heart.

Although he came here to help his brother, this was just one of the reasons.

Another one came for Su Hu.

He had met Su Hu several times before. Unlike Chong Houhu, Chong Heihu admired Su Hu's loyalty and integrity. Although he had hatred in his heart before, his anger had subsided now and he couldn't bear to harm the life of such a person.

So he thought of repelling him, and then persuading Chong Houhu to reconcile, so as to restore the friendship between him and Su Hu.

Seeing Chonghouhu's confident face, Chonghouhu also always trusted this younger brother, so he personally poured wine for him and led the animal, and watched him leave.

The Chong Heihu rode on the blue-eyed golden-eyed Chonghouhu beast and came to the front of the army. He saw Su Quanzhong showing off his power on the horse and waving the painted halberd in his hand from time to time. It was obvious that he had a plan in mind.

Chong Heihu said: "My dear nephew Quanzhong, please go back and ask your father to come out. I have something to say."

His behavior was quite reasonable. He did not treat the enemy who almost killed his brother as he treated a nephew or younger generation.

However, Su Quanzhong was young and frivolous, and ignorant of the ways of the world. He had previously heard from his father that Chong Heihu was brave and good at fighting, and his father's words implied that they were no match for this man. How could he be willing to return like this?

Not only did he not leave, but he shouted, "Chong Heihu, you and I are enemies, but my father used to have a good relationship with you. If you are willing to turn against us and withdraw from the army, I can spare your life. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret!"

Hearing this, Chong Heihu was somewhat embarrassed. After all, as an elder, he was ridiculed by a junior. How could he continue to be polite? Naturally, he was furious: "Little beast, how dare you be so rude!"
