Chapter 42 List
At dawn, the two sides counted the battle damage.

Although the government army was defending the city, due to insufficient defense, many people died in the first wave of defending the city.

More than 500 people were killed on the spot during the night.

In the next few days, many sergeants who were seriously injured and incurable died one after another.

Back and forth, nearly 700 people died in this wave of night raids.

You know, the government army currently has a total of more than 3000 people, and the death rate in battle is as high as more than [-]%.

In addition, there are many sergeants with minor injuries, and almost everyone is injured.

It can be regarded as a muscle injury.

Although there will be many new troops added later, the morale and combat power of the new army cannot compare with the old army, and the combat power is greatly reduced.

The Wanping army killed even more people, thousands of people died overnight.

Red blood stained the city walls.

Gradually blow dry in the wind, solidify
Under the city, there are stiff corpses everywhere, weapons, banners, and armor can be seen everywhere.

A world like hell.

The government soldiers and civilian husbands who were used to life and death couldn't help their legs trembling when they were cleaning the battlefield, and a chill came out of their hearts.

The Wanping Army seems to have failed in their storm, but it did not fail completely.

Their base number is too large. Although thousands of people died in battle, it is estimated that nearly [-] people were lost.

But there are still tens of thousands of people who are capable of fighting.

There are even many people who have never even been on the wall.

The Wanping army will definitely continue to attack violently like last night.

So the atmosphere in Pingcheng is not very good.

This is the mentality of the besieged.

From the initial nervousness, the fearlessness after discovering that the city is strong, to the current panic.

Some people in the Wanping army also know the art of war. Until they attack Pingcheng in one breath, they will definitely not be able to attack, and the morale of the Wanping army will be lowered.

Attacking the city like this, a few days ago, a light attack on the city, suddenly came a heavy one.

It is very likely to directly defeat the mentality of the defender.

After noon.

Pingcheng.

Camp in the south of the city.

In the handsome account.

The top generals of the government army gathered together.

Wei Tao's gaze was like a torch, and he looked at all the generals at the same level.

"City Lord, these Wanping thieves are really cunning."

Wang Meng fought all night, and his face was a little tired. The martial arts of the powerful master was actually not as good as him, but the victory was because of his broken words and strong verbal offensive, which held Wang Meng back. Wang Meng hardly made much achievements on the battlefield last night.

Of course, what Wang Meng was talking about was not just this master of strength, but mainly the Wanping Army's night attack on Pingcheng, which was really unexpected.

"The cold rain has just passed, and the military tents are hard to burn. The disturbance in the camp in the north of the city is a bit strange."

Beside Wang Meng, Wei Kai also attended the meeting, he thought about it and expressed his opinion.

These words were approved by everyone.

"Could it be that there are Wanping Army's meticulous work in the army?"

Liu Chuang's voice was calm, and his face was not very good-looking.

If this inference was brought up before last night, there would be a scolding that disturbed the morale of the army, but after the magical night yesterday, everyone fell silent.

Even Wei Tao himself wondered if there was something wrong with the government army, otherwise, how would the army tent be ignited?

"There is also a strong wind that suddenly blew last night, but it disappeared today, which is also very strange."

Someone remembered the strong wind last night. If it hadn't been for the strong wind, the camp in the north of the city would not have burned so quickly.

The wind raised the fire, and the strong wind that blew up for no reason also helped Wanping's army.

"In Wanping's army, I'm afraid there are people who are proficient in Taoism."

Wei Kai said in a deep voice.

When everyone heard the news, their scalps became numb.

Ordinary Taoists are nothing to worry about, but Taoists who can affect the sky and attract strong winds are at least graded Taoists, but they don't know how many grades of Taoists they are.

"Hmph, what a mere monster scares you!"

Wei Tao snorted coldly, his majestic aura broke out, alerting everyone.

Everyone heard Wei Tao's scolding, and hurriedly restrained their minds, not daring to think too much.

"I will report this matter to the imperial court. Since there seems to be a demon practice, the Taoist Palace will definitely not sit idly by. You don't have to worry about this issue."

Wei Tao said a few words of comfort in a broad voice, and explained his own countermeasures.

The stunt of defending the city asked the court for help.

This countermeasure is very popular. After hearing this, everyone felt relieved.

The imperial court is orthodox, and the Daoist Palace is the most powerful force under the imperial court. There are more and stronger people in the Daoist Palace who know how to practice demons and Taoism than the Wanping Army.

"I came to you mainly because of military affairs."

"Our army suffered heavy casualties last night. Many centurions and ten-man teams are no longer organized. In addition, new troops from the city have entered the team. The government army should carry out a new round of mixed reform."

Mixed organization is a characteristic of the military expansion of the government.

When the old army leads the new army, it is easier for the new army to get started.

After Wei Tao finished speaking, he set his eyes on Wei Kai.

In the government army, Wei Kai was half a staff officer and half a military adviser. He took out the roster in his hand and began to inform the senior generals of the list of those killed in battle last night.

"This list, as long as it is very long, will not be detailed by ordinary government troops."

Wei Kai reported everything, five centurions and 33 centurions died last night.

Among the five centurions, there is another one who is a master of strength.

That is to say, last night, the government army killed a total of 37 qi and blood warriors.

If this death list is placed in Wang's martial arts hall, it is equivalent to the martial arts hall being directly wiped out.

That is to say, the government army is a little injured.

After Wei Kai finished reporting, everyone fell silent.

Wei Tao knocked on the table, and then said: "The deceased has passed away, and the list will be reported to the imperial court, and a compensation will be given at that time."

"Many centurions died in battle this time, and many positions have been vacated. We will make a decision here today, and quickly finalize the list of new centurions."

The list of centurions?
All the generals were shocked and raised their heads one by one.

The generals here are basically at the rank of lieutenants, and there are two other generals, one is Liu Chuang and the other is Cheng Wei.

Liu Chuang was the former commander-in-chief of the new army, leading one thousand troops, and Cheng Wei was a veteran, also leading one thousand troops.

Wei Tao is the lord of the city, with great military and political power in his hands, and the direct soldiers under the headquarters account are the most at this time, with about 700 people.

The full number is 1000 people.

After the new army joins, some of Liu Chuang's military power will be handed over to Wei Tao.

The other generals are the captains who command five hundred soldiers. There are currently eight captains in the army.

Wang Meng is the first-ranked captain of the frontier guard, a rare captain with a title.

In addition to the captain, there are also some civilian positions.

For example, Wei Kai joined the army, and his rank was the same as that of a school lieutenant.

The next lieutenant is the centurion.

There are only more than 700 people in total, and there are eight major lieutenants. In addition, the generals' personal soldiers have to be removed, so each lieutenant is not fully staffed.

If there is one more centurion, then the strength in hand will increase by one point.

The two other generals may not care much about the candidate for the centurion, but the school lieutenants couldn't sit still for a moment.

"City Lord, two centurions under my command died in battle this time, and my sons and daughters died in battle one after another. They are all loyal and martyrs!"

A school lieutenant immediately stood up and cried miserably, which meant that the centurion's place would be returned to him.

As long as there is a centurion in hand, there will be no fewer sergeants under his account.

"Hey, I'm ashamed to say it. If it wasn't for your negligence, how could the enemy attack directly in the face?" Immediately, the captain began to refute and belittle him.

"Don't spout blood. It's not a big deal if you hide behind one by one. Do you know how terribly we fought last night?"

The two immediately quarreled.

The entire handsome tent became noisy, and Wei Tao was so angry that he slapped the table directly.

"boom!"

After a sound, everyone fell silent.

Dare not to say much.

"I already have a candidate for the new centurion. Wei Canjun, show everyone the list. If you don't have any opinions, I will finalize the candidate for the new centurion today."

So Wei Kai took out the list, and there were seven people on the list.

In addition to the five centurions who died, two more were added.

Cao Su, Hu Ze, Zheng Tianqi
Everyone looked at the list and found that most of them were new martial arts disciples.

This is the first person, Cao Su?

Who is Cao Su?

Most of the school lieutenants have never heard of it, but this military achievement is too scary. This person actually beheaded and killed seven Qi and blood fighters of the Wanping Army with only one person, and killed one person while patrolling the city.
In addition, Cao Su killed countless ordinary soldiers of the Wanping Army, and none of the ten soldiers under his command has been lost since the start of the battle.

The section of the guarded city wall is as solid as a rock, and the Wanping Army's clearing speed has always been at the top of the southern city wall.

"So strong?"

When the school captains saw the resume, they had nothing to say. The election as a centurion was compliant and reasonable.

It is Cao Su's age, which seems to be too young, only 17 years old.

17-year-old centurion.
"In an extraordinary period, do extraordinary things. These newly promoted centurions are young heroes selected by me. Our army needs these fresh blood to stimulate the passion and enthusiasm of the guards."

"If you don't have any opinions, arrange things early."

Although Wei Tao informed everyone with an attitude of negotiation, in fact, there is already a candidate, and his tone is beyond doubt.

Wang Meng was the first to stand up, salute and leave.

He still has a lot of military affairs to deal with.

Afterwards, the others also stood up and withdrew.

After everyone left, Wei Kai stayed behind.

"City Lord, I will announce the list immediately. The newly promoted centurion will arrange for them to take up their duties tomorrow, Cao Su and Hu Ze."

"Hu Ze is Lao Wang's personal disciple, right?"

Wei Tao interrupted Wei Kai.

"Just continue to arrange Hu Ze in the old king's army. Remember, from now on, Hu Ze is the centurion of our army, and the treatment he deserves should not be less."

A cold light flashed in Wei Tao's eyes.

Wei Kai nodded, his face a bit gloomy.

Wei Tao asked again: "Is there any movement in Pegasus Village recently?"

Pegasus Village is the number one force in Pingcheng, Wei Tao still thinks about Pegasus Village at this time, and attaches great importance to Pegasus Village.

"Pegasus Village has been quiet all the time, except for the surprise attack on Yujiazhuang on New Year's Day, it has never been moved."

The information Wei Kai received was always as calm as a lake.

"Hehe, three thousand Pegasus Army."

Wei Tao sneered.
