Chapter 376 Crazy Army
  Tong Jue was killed and his head was sacrificed to the flag. When Xu Mao, Xu Jinwu and other generals worked hard to gather their old troops again, at the same time, Taikang City in the north was greeted with cheers.

The invincible Xia army suffered a defeat outside the city, with more than [-] casualties. Almost the whole city was shouting for this victory. The people in the city rushed to tell each other, or called on the streets to welcome Liang who had returned victoriously. National warrior.

But it was another scene in Taikang City Mansion.

Burning candles illuminated the hall, and guards stood guard outside. In the dusk, the occasional sound of footsteps walking back and forth could be heard.

Tuoba Zongjue was in a good mood but also worried at the same time. The generals under his command who were guarding the city and the prefect of Taikang City were also knowingly silent and did not speak.

"This is a big victory, I should make you happy... To be honest, I am also very happy... but I am also worried."

After walking back and forth for a long time, Zong Jue stopped and spoke slowly in a low voice. He stared at the ground and hesitated for a while, not knowing how to continue. This was originally a great victory, but thinking about the next war , there is unspeakable worry in my heart.

Prefect Ye Cimi had the same worried look in his eyes as Zong Jue: "I know what you are worried about, but since we have won a big victory, we should make the soldiers happy. Tomorrow, or the day after, it may be another difficult battle to defend the city. War, many soldiers may not live to win."

There were many civil servants in the Yeci tribe. In the Liang Dynasty court, he was regarded as the emperor's left arm. In Taikang City, he was the only one who dared to speak like this to Tuoba Zongjue, the clan general.

Zong Jue looked at the dim courtyard outside the hall and smiled bitterly. Then he nodded and said no more. He asked Ye Cimi to send someone to hold a banquet in the government office and let the military lieutenant general come over to eat and drink.

The great victory over the Xia army still caused turbulence in Taikang City. Throughout the past few years, the Xia emperor raised [-] troops, from north to south, from east to west, and was almost invincible.

Far to the northwest, whether it was the residents in the city or the tribes in the mountains and fields outside the city, they had all heard more or less that the soldiers and horses in the hands of this emperor were unrivaled in the world.

The people with vision in the city did not feel happy at all, but felt a chill to the bones. These people with vision knew that those who were defeated outside the city today were the surrendered troops of the Qi State. How could a group of remnant soldiers and defeated generals be considered the Xia State? Those terrifying armies in the hands of the emperor.

Seeing the people singing and dancing on the street, they sneered at these people with low knowledge and said, "That emperor can't be serious about what he said!"

The battle had just been won, and the troops entering the city were welcomed by the people in the city. Tuoba Congwu, who was only [-] years old, was riding on a tall war horse. He looked at the men and women waving and cheering to him from both sides of the street, and couldn't help but feel proud.

His battle outside the city yesterday was a surprise not only to the people in Taikang City, but also to everyone in the entire Liang Kingdom.

Soon, Tuoba Congwu and his personal guards who entered the city halted their horses outside the government office. Holding a human head in his hand, he strode into the government office. He didn't know who the head in his hand belonged to. Anyway, in the chaos, he He shot him off his horse, then jumped off his horse, held him down, and cut off his head alive as his trophy.

In the backyard of the government office, when he came in, there was already a banquet. The general was holding a wine jar and drinking heavily, dragging his acquaintances with him to go around the table, or teasing the maids in the government office.

Tuoba Congwu laughed and strode over, "You don't even wait for me to drink!?"

"Haha, the generals are triumphant!" The people who can participate in this banquet at this time are basically the middle and upper-level generals in the army. They have the roughness of the northwest, and they have just established the army, and there are not many rules for superiors and subordinates.

Everyone saluted the emerging general, but in the hall, there was still a banquet that had not yet started. Tuoba Zongjue was sitting at the head of the table. He looked at Tuoba Congwu who came in with the head in his hand, and stood up without any discomfort. Welcome with open arms.

"When warriors win, let them fill their bellies first, and you, my proud warrior, will enjoy this sumptuous banquet!"

The generals at this banquet table were different from those outside. They were senior officials of Fushan and Trek Army. When they saw Tuoba Congwu coming in, they all stood up and saluted.

"Uncle, don't be so docile!" Tuoba Congwu strode to a table and placed a human head in his hand on the table, "Do you know who this head is?"

He put the head on the table, then clenched his fist and pressed it on his chest to salute Tuoba Zongjue.

Zong Jue nodded and looked carefully at the head on the table. A deputy general next to him recognized it, "He is the first deputy general of the Xia army to attack the city today."

"Zhao Taosheng!" A Liang Guo general who had fought against the opponent remembered his name and said.

"No matter who he is, kill him anyway!"

Tuoba picked up the general's head and threw it out the door. His head hit the threshold, bounced a few times and rolled down the stone steps. He was kicked out by the passing military lieutenants and generals, and landed in the grass in the courtyard.

The banquet in the hall also started. Tuoba Congwu was eating with a rough and heroic look. He wiped his greasy mouth casually while drinking and making gestures. He told Tuoba Zongjue about the scene of the army that penetrated the west of the city yesterday.

"The scene at that time...haha...there were also weak people in Xia's army. When they saw me from a distance, they turned around and ran away in fear. They were simply vulnerable."

Tuoba Zongjue did not speak to disturb his interest, but listened quietly, smiling and nodding in agreement from time to time. When it was almost time to eat and drink, and the generals went out to drink with other generals, he spoke: "Yesterday, we fought with each other. The main force in the hands of Emperor Xia has not yet been moved, so we should not take it lightly."

"There's nothing to worry about." Tuoba placed the wine glass in General Tuoba's hand heavily on the table with a drunken red on his face. "Uncle, just wait. As long as they dare to come again, I will break them again!"

This sentence made the generals outside the hall hold wine glasses and wine jars and shout, which was quite encouraging.

Tuoba Congwu looked outside and called out to them again: "When our troops and horses are strong, we will attack the Xia Kingdom and have a look." Then, he turned back to look at his uncle Tuoba Zongjue opposite.

"The soldiers need morale, but it would be great if they can defeat Xia Kingdom in the future!"

Opposite me, Tuoba Zongjue, who was in his forties, looked at the high-spirited young man in front of him and said with a smile: "This time I just competed with the weak soldiers of the Xia Kingdom and won a few battles. Don't be too proud. , However, I still like your temper. In the future, your Majesty will have more troops and more elite soldiers and horses, maybe your Majesty will let you get what you want!"

Tuoba Congwu held the chicken leg in his mouth, responded with a smile, and then continued to eat and drink.

However, early the next morning, before the generals in the city woke up from yesterday's hangover, news of scouts came back from outside, and the Qi surrender troops who were defeated the day before were killed again.

When Tuoba Zong appeared at the top of the city wearing iron armor and holding a long sword, it was still the same army as that day, without any change. After gathering the drums of the generals, they directly launched a fierce attack on the city.

He slammed the wall: "Guard the wall!"

At the same time, Tuoba Congwu led the Fushan Cavalry to jump out from the west city gate and ran across the wilderness for twenty miles, killing the surrendering light cavalry. They followed the opponent's main formation and killed them indiscriminately, defeating them again. Chase and kill.

On the third day, the defeated group of remnants of the army came back to kill them. This time they became trembling, and the attack on the city was just a show. Later, they were defeated again by two cavalrymen led by Zong Jue and Congwu. They were killed and cried for their fathers and mothers. run.

On the fourth day after arriving, this army, which had been defeated many times, appeared again. Its number was reduced by one-third from the last time. Looking from the top of the city, one could roughly count the opponent's number at about [-] to [-].

The army of [-] was reduced to less than [-] in just a few days.

He actually had the guts to come and attack the city!

For a moment, Tuoba Zongjue and Tuoba Congwu were both a little confused, but they still rushed out of the city as usual, defeated them, and started to pursue them...

fifth day...

Day [-]...

The number of people was getting smaller and smaller every time. On the seventh day, only [-] surrender troops were left to fight, but this time Tuoba Zongjue clearly felt something was different.

These people exuded the aura of death, and their eyes were full of hysterical madness.

There were even people with only one arm left, holding a knife, like evil spirits from the underworld, staring fiercely at the top of the city, as if they could pounce on them at any time.

The atmosphere outside Taikang City became solid at this time, and Tuoba Zongjue was keenly aware of another difference.

He climbed up the city tower, and on the balcony on the second floor of the city tower, he climbed up and looked into the distance. He saw an additional cavalry phalanx behind this army that was constantly being killed and defeated.

It was impossible to see clearly what was written on the erected flag, but it was certain that it was the elite cavalry in the hands of the Emperor of Xia.

……

Outside Taikang City, Xu Mao, Xu Jinwu and other generals, whose armors were covered with a layer of blood, clenched their swords and raised them.

This time their words became murderous.

"Siege!"

The phalanxes around them began to move. After the continuous pursuit and defeat, they became hysterical and crazy. They would die anyway, so it was better to go forward and fight to the top of the city, there was no chance of survival.

The remaining [-] soldiers spread out across the field, as if there was nothing to fear.

　I originally wanted to refer to Xixia to say the title, but found it too difficult.

　　I can't find similar words. In Xixia language, uncle and uncle are (forever) and father is (you).

　　I can’t find a title like uncle...hahaha!

　　In addition, thank you brothers for your support, I will add an update tomorrow for [-] monthly votes!
