Outside the palace, the sound of killing was loud.
Xu Mu coldly wiped the blood on his face, stepped over the corpses of several battalion soldiers, and then blew a whistle.
Not long after, General Feng broke through the wind and snow and rushed towards them.
"Si Hu, get the knife."
Si Hu approached, carrying the chopping knife on his back, and holding the captured huge double-edged ax tightly in his hands. With his body covered in blood, he looked like a killing god.
Xu Mu got on the horse and looked back. Behind him, there were at least 8,000 men and horses, all of whom looked as if they were dead.
Among them, except for Yuan Tao's five thousand dead soldiers of Hutang, the rest are mostly ordinary people from various markets. Hundreds of old soldiers did not wear helmets, and only used a square of linen to wrap their pale heads.
But without exception, everyone is wearing a white robe.
Xu Mu raised the long sword in his hand. The more than 8,000 beheaded soldiers also raised various weapons in their hands.
"The treacherous prime minister in the court is as harsh as a tiger in his tyranny. It has made my crops less abundant, my animals have become less prosperous, my wife and children have lost their joy, and my old father has been filled with tears."
Gritting his teeth, Xu Mu pointed his sword forward. In front, there were at least several thousand more battalions gathering crazily.
"If this world is so filthy, we--can only use the sword in our hands to carve out a clear and bright world for all eternity."
"kill!"
"kill!!"
The morale of the 8,000-strong beheaded army surged for a moment, and they rushed forward without fear of death.
Before a fat general could dodge, he was split into two pieces by Si Hu's axe.
"Raise the bow!"
Three or four battalion captains commanded rows of infantry bows, setting up bows and twisting arrows. Not long after, dense arrows came straight through.
"Shield! Shield!"
Thousands of beheaded soldiers in front raised their own shields, including wooden and iron shields, and even oil-paper umbrellas.
After several rounds of arrows passed, many people fell in front of the palace.
"Fengziying, fire back!"
The Fengzi Battalion of more than 900 people was considered to be the top combat force among the Guanhead Army. After hearing Yu Wen's words, they all raised their bows and took advantage of the opportunity for the camp soldiers to retreat and shoot out the flying arrows. , shot back.
Thousands of dead soldiers from Hutang stood up and jumped up, regardless of life and death, and immediately rushed into the formation of the camp soldiers.
"Kill him!" Seeing this, Xu Mu immediately ordered.
The thousands of troops in the battalion were originally unwilling to sacrifice their lives. Seeing the decapitated army killing more and more fiercely, it wasn't long before they were so frightened that they retreated while fighting. The fat generals who had been shouting earlier were so frightened that they spurred their horses. Run away.
…
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Yuan Lu, who was awakened by the sound of fighting, rubbed his eyes and howled, shouting "Xiangfu Xiangfu". Outside the Yangxin Hall, Xiao Yuanlu, who was wearing golden armor, was silent for a while and then hurriedly walked into the hall.
"Father, has my little uncle entered the palace? I heard the screams of many people."
"Nothing." Xiao Yuanlu smiled, "I must have had a nightmare. The country of this era is your Majesty's from birth, and no one can take it away."
"In a few years, when Your Majesty will be able to wear his hair, I will help you choose a good concubine."
"Sleep, Your Majesty."
"Father, why don't you tell me a story to comfort me."
"Your Majesty is willing to serve."
After the young emperor fell asleep, Xiao Yuanlu stood up silently and walked out of the Nourishing Heart Hall again.
On the royal road, a silver-armored general who had been waiting for a long time looked slightly unhappy.
"Xiao Zaifu, the war is imminent. It's best not to wait any longer. Don't underestimate the surname of the country."
"This round, I've been waiting for it."
Xiao Yuanlu showed a cold smile, "I have been acquainted with the surnamed Hou in the early years. I often ask myself, there is such a perfect person in the world. Loyal and righteous, good at both civil and military affairs, but also courteous and virtuous, regardless of whether he is a corrupt official or an upright official. The traffickers and soldiers all have great love for this marquis named Guo."
"Xiao Zaifu, you are a bit verbose." The silver-armored general frowned.
"Don't be anxious. After this battle, I will promise you a lot of things. Muyun State will be the fourth kingdom outside the pass. You can make yourself the king."
The silver-armored general smiled and said, "Well, Xiao Zaifu is not in a hurry, so I can just wait. The Marquis with the surname Guo outside the city only has an army of 50,000, and he can't attack it. I heard that there is an internal agent in Changyang City? "
"There is indeed an internal response. At best, it's called a righteous act, but at worst, it's a fool who calls it Emperor."
Xiao Yuanlu closed his eyes slightly, "General Chen didn't know something. I really waited for a long time. It felt like I did something evil when I was a child. After my father found out, I was always worried that sooner or later I would be beaten. .”
"For me, the surname of a marquis is a penalty sign. I often worry about when he will come and chop off the head of a traitor like me. Just like that year, he held a Shangfang sword and beheaded 120 people. Three corrupt officials. Chen Changqing, you also fought with Guo Xinghou back then. I just ask you, are you really not afraid?"
The silver-armored general was silent in the wind and snow.
"The world says that I am a traitor, but they don't know that it is not that I missed the dynasty. It was that the dynasty made a mistake, and that's why I, the traitor, was born."
"Some people regard gold and silver as dung, and there will be people who will do anything for half a copper plate. With power in hand, you will only get more and more what you want and want to be greedy for. How many people in this world have the surname Guo? Someone like Hou?"
"No." Xiao Yuanlu lifted his steps and walked forward quietly. After taking a few steps, he turned back coldly with a sick smile.
"Chen Changqing, let's go and remove this penalty sign completely. It is up to us to have the final say on what will happen to this country in the future."
…
"General Xu, that's the west gate." An old soldier approached on horseback and pointed at a huge gate at the city gate ahead.
"About thirty thousand people."
"Where is the south gate?" Xu Mu frowned.
"I sent people to see it before, and there were nearly 30,000 people."
"Something is wrong." After hearing this, Xu Mu's expression suddenly became solemn.
There are three city gates in Changyang, the west gate and the south gate are only partial gates, but they have a combined garrison of 60,000 people. The largest due east gate, I'm afraid there will be more defenders.
But according to the information, isn't the army in the hands of the traitor only 90,000 people?
"General Xu, what's wrong?"
"some problems--"
As soon as Xu Mu finished speaking, he heard a large number of heavy footsteps from all around.
"Damn it, those battalions are here again!"
"General, what should I do?"
"Leave first." Xu Mu gritted his teeth, glanced in Ximen's direction reluctantly, and turned the horse's head.
If an army of more than 8,000 people was surrounded, it would only be death. Xu Mu planned carefully, but he knew that Yuan Tao, who lived in the outer city of the city, could only live for two days after taking Li Wanger's magic medicine.
Xu Mu always felt that since time travel, he had been living in a hurry. The troubled times were dark, and he was determined to find the light, but before he could hold the lamp, the darkness had already blocked the sun.
While riding on horseback, Xu Mu suddenly thought of something. He quickly retracted his hand and touched the position in his arms. When he touched the big red mandarin duck embroidered brocade bag given by Jia Zhou, his face suddenly became happy.
