I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 56
"The Jin army is mighty, the Jin army is mighty."

"The Jin army is mighty, the Jin army is mighty."

All the Jin army and Fan army on the top of the city shouted, and their voices resounded through the sky and the earth.

Although the Qingtang soldiers outside the city were in formation at this time, they were in a state of panic.

After all, the bravery of the Jin army just now is really daunting.

This first battle directly wiped out the morale that had been gathered after the majesty's visit.

Tuoba Chide looked at Shule City, his teeth almost gnawed.

After Fu Jinchuan got off his horse, he took off his brocade robe, took off his pocket, handed it to the guards around him, and then climbed to the top of the city.

After Jia Shixun saw it, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is truly a heavenly man."

Jia Shixun, who has been in the army for more than ten years, was born as a general. He also practiced martial arts since childhood and is familiar with the art of war.He has served in the army in Hexi for many years and has experienced military exploits.What kind of fierce generals have you never seen?

The bravery and courage shown by Fu Jinchuan today are the only ones Jia Shixun has seen in his life.

Even Xue Cong and Xue Wanfu, known as the number one fierce general in Hexi, may not be able to do better than Fu Jinchuan in this city.

Hundreds of cavalry charged across the tens of thousands of Qingtang troops, like chopping melons and vegetables. Nearly a hundred Qingtang warriors died under Fu Jinchuan's horses and bows alone.

Fu Jinchuan just smiled when he heard the flattery from Master Jia and many left-behind generals, and said, "Qingtang scoundrels, but it's a pity that Tuoba Chide was not captured alive."

Guo Daifeng said: "Why should you care about it, sir? This Tuoba Chide is under the city, and he will be captured by him sooner or later."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Fu Jinchuan smiled heartily.

These few words are actually a bit bragging, the opportunity just now was once in a thousand years, Tuoba Chide will only be more careful after that, how could there be so many opportunities to capture the lord of a country alive.

At the beginning, when I saw the Qingtang army was numerous and mighty, the camp stretched for several miles, and the army was mighty, the guards were inevitably afraid, but after this battle.The morale of the defenders in Shule City is high, and there is a strong city to defend them, and they are already invincible.

"Happy, happy. Sir, fighting with you is a pleasure."

At this time, Shi Wannian had set up his troops and went to the city. His armor was also stained with blood. In addition, his beard and beard, his face like the bottom of a pot, looked like a demon god returning from hell, making people daunting.

He and Japu Huali led a thousand cavalry, left the city after Fu Jinchuan, and attacked on the left and right wings respectively, making it difficult for the Qingtang army on the two wings to gather troops. Although they did not gain as much as Fu Jinchuan in the middle, they still caused considerable damage to the Qingtang army. .Shi Wannian alone beheaded more than a dozen Qingtang people with his own hands.

Japu Huali also clasped his fists and said: "I have always boasted of being brave, but today I know that compared to Lang Jun's bravery, it is like the difference between a stream and the Shule River."

"Hahaha, the prince's reputation is too high. There is no way to make a forest alone. Today's battle is thanks to General Shi and Prince Japu who are covering me from left to right."

Fu Jinchuan's judgment on the situation on the battlefield is still very accurate. Of course, he knows that in today's battle, if there is no reference from the left and right, the situation he has to face will become extremely dangerous.

"Lang Jun, you don't need to be polite, it's just a matter of internal affairs. If there is such a battle, your name will surely shake the world."

As soon as Japu Huali's words came out, several other people also echoed.

"This is true. After this battle, your lord will surely become famous all over the world."

The three thousand cavalry took the initiative to attack the [-] army, and almost captured Qing Tang Dajun alive. How could he not be famous all over the world?
On the Qingtang side, the army was raided by the cavalry in the city when its foothold was not stable. In fact, there were not many casualties, only a few thousand soldiers were lost.

But the impact on morale cannot be underestimated.

In the next two days, Qingtang organized the army to attack the city several times. Although there was no chance for the Jin army to go out of the city to make a surprise attack, the bed crossbows and trebuchets on the city were not small for the siege troops. threaten.

As for the craftsmen of Qingtang, it would be nice to be able to build ladders and siege vehicles, and expect them to build trebuchets and bed crossbows to fight against the Jin army?
Tuoba Chide could clearly see that the siege troops of various tribes were extremely perfunctory, which was also a problem that Tuoba Chide tried his best to solve but could not do anything about it.

Although there are many factions in the army of the Jin Dynasty, in the final analysis it belongs to the imperial court.

And Qingtang's army belonged to various tribes, and Tuoba Chide could order the tribes to fight, but he was helpless against the obvious behavior of the tribes to preserve their strength.

After all, the Maharaja himself is preserving his strength.

Siege?

Yes, can Tuoba Awu from the royal family make it?Can the ten thousand households in the central region who are directly under the army get the ghost badge?

If they don't go, Rendo, Yeli and other large tribal armies have something to say, why should the Maharaja's army let us go?
The troops of the big tribes were not up, and the coalition formed by the small tribes was Ximolang and Mihong of Liuzhi Township. It was the one that suffered the most losses from the Jin army raid in the city the day before yesterday. will backfire.

So even with an army of tens of thousands, Tuoba Chide still felt that no one was available.

In the tent named Great Buddha House, which can accommodate hundreds of people, Tuoba Chide in white robes sat on the top seat, and on the left and right sides of the lower hand sat the princes and ministers of the Qing and Tang Dynasties.

"If you want to eat good butter, you have to feed the cows well." Tuoba Chide said while drinking a bowl of butter tea.

This is a proverb of Qingtang people, which means to persuade people to have perseverance in doing things.Speaking out on this occasion at this time is to accuse the generals of being unfavorable in combat.

People who can sit in this tent are naturally smart people, even the "Bear of Qingtang" Xi Moming who looks like a reckless man can understand the meaning behind the words.

At this time, no one answered.

Because when the tribes just crossed the Tanjuling, the morale was high, and they wanted to attack Shule City to carve up the gold and silver treasures, cattle, sheep, horses, women and strong men in the city.

But after a long march and the battle the day before yesterday, that little morale had already drifted back to the West Sea Plateau.

Coupled with the fact that the siege of the city has not gone well in the past two days, the dirty thoughts among the various tribes are almost on the surface.

Tuoba Chide naturally knew that without morale, everyone didn't want to fight, and the best option was to retreat, but he definitely didn't want to retreat.After all, retreat means failure.

The Maharaja personally conscripted, but found nothing.He was almost captured by the enemy army, so when he returned to Qingtang King City like this, the situation he had to face was complicated.

"Majesty, why don't we attack the city tomorrow?"

At this time, Qingyi, who is known as the Fox of Qingtang in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, made a statement with a ghost chapter.

Qingyi Jieguizhang is only 25 or [-] years old, with a carefully trimmed short beard and traditional Qingtang braided hair, and still wears armor even in hot weather.He looks very heroic.

He is the son-in-law of the majesty, and he is also a direct confidant, otherwise he would not be in charge of the elite teacher directly under the majesty Wanhu in the middle.

But hearing Gui Zhang's words, Tuoba Chide obviously hesitated, he knew that many eyes were staring at him at this time.

Especially Ye Lirong and Ren Duo Ling Ding, the patriarchs of the Qing Tang Hao Clan.

"Okay, our Qingtang Fox, tomorrow's siege will be left to you."

At this time, he can only bite the bullet and let Qingyi knot Guizhang to attack the city. If he does not use his direct troops at this time, the Noribe and Rentabe who have attacked the city for two consecutive days will jump out and say that he, the majesty, is doing things unfairly. .

He didn't believe that someone in the Jin Kingdom would dare to jump out and point at their emperor and say such things, but in Qingtang, the maharaja was the ruler of the country, yes, but he was more like a "leader".

Rather than a real monarch, he has the power to kill his ministers.

In Qingtang, power comes from how many warriors and lands the powerful tribes own, whether the swords in the warriors’ hands are sharp, and whether the yaks and horses on the land are strong.

For example, sitting on the left side of the Maharaja, the Prime Minister of the State, who is the first to start, is praised. When it comes to reputation, this old man is unmatched by anyone in Qingtang, and the Maharaja cannot be compared with him.

But when it comes to power, even if his elder brother dies, Xi Moming, who has just been qualified to be in the Great Buddha House, has more soldiers than him.

Tuoba Chide could not change this situation, nor did he want to change it.Even though he hated Qingtang's system deeply, he knew that the Maharaja's power was based on this foundation.

The siege of the city was set for tomorrow, and the gathering in the Great Buddha House quickly dispersed.

Mi Hong and Xi Moming from Liuzhi Township meet to inspect the defense together to prevent the Jin army from sneaking at night.

Ren Duo and the head of the Nori tribe said that they would discuss how to resolve the friction between the two tribes today.

Only the ten thousand households in the central area Qingyi Jie Guizhang and the Maharaja's younger brother Tuoba Awu stayed in the Great Buddha House. They were the Maharaja's most trusted confidantes.

As for the praise of Guoxiang, he declined the invitation of several nobles and went back to rest in the tent alone.

"Grandfather, you are back."

In the tent, Sun Tzu Lun Ga Zhen and Lun Ri Xu got up and saluted when the old man came back.

The Lun clan is a small tribe, with only a few thousand accountants. This time, there are only a few hundred people following the expedition, and they are counted as the guards of the prime minister.

Seeing the two grandsons nodding, Lun Zanpo sat on the felt and drank a bowl of buttered tea, then looked at the packed luggage in the tent and asked, "Why have you already started packing your luggage?"

When Lun Karzhen heard his grandfather's question, he hurriedly separated the relationship and said, "Grandfather, it was all done by Rixu, and I didn't even reach out."

Lun Karzhen's eldest grandson, in his early twenties, looks very strong, and is a famous warrior in the Lun clan.

After listening to the elder grandson's words, Lun Zanpo looked at his second grandson, Lun Rixu, "Rixu, why did you pack your bags? We are now in the middle of a war."

Lun Rixu said: "Grandfather, pack it up earlier, and don't be in a hurry when you leave. Otherwise, when the Majesty gives the order, we will lose a lot of things if we don't have time to pack up."

Lun Rixu is only seventeen or eighteen years old. Unlike his elder brother, who is powerful and powerful, his body looks a little thin, his face is handsome, and his long hair is not braided but tied into a ponytail.A pair of eyes are deep and bright, the lips are very thin, and there are some fine hairs on the corners of the mouth.

Lun Zanpo asked very seriously: "Then why do you think that the Majesty will order the troops to retreat."

Lun Rixu said: "An army with only the general who wants to fight can't win the war. This is what you said, grandfather."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Lun Zan Po burst out laughing, directly making Lun Kar really puzzled, his grandfather was obviously very angry just now.

The old Prime Minister was very happy. He took his two grandsons with the army this time, mainly to let them see the world and see what the real battlefield looks like.

Let them know that if the Qingtang people themselves fought each other with swords on the Xihai plateau for a few cows, sheep, horses or a woman, that was not considered a war.

Two powerful countries, tens of thousands of armored soldiers marching forward, and iron cavalry galloping freely, this is war.

　There may be another chapter or two in this battle, but I'm sure I'm not in the water.
