Looking at Luo Tao, who was excited, Mu Partridge would be really dumb and couldn't say what was going on with Coptis chinensis. Because at this time, Mu Partridge was about to vomit when he drank wine, but in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he still pretended to finish the wine in the cup, and simply snapped the wine glass upside down on the table.

Seeing Mu Partridge slowly walking towards the city wall, the nearby generals were secretly speechless, no matter how they looked at it, they felt that the slow walking posture of the city defender was very domineering.

Who would know that in their eyes, the general who sat firmly in the city tower during the fierce attack of the Hu army and did not change his color, had been drinking wine for nearly two hours, and he was still drinking spirits with a high degree of alcohol, and he was already dizzy from drinking, even if he walked a little faster, he was afraid that he would shake.

"General!"

"General Mu!"

"See the general!"

On the way to the city wall, the nearby border soldiers would salute him with fists.

I saw that these border soldiers and soldiers were full of heartfelt smiles on their faces, as for the reason, I am afraid it is because the Xihu people outside the city are slowly withdrawing their troops.

The Xihu army was indeed retreating, and the still countless Xihu slave soldiers fled from under the southern city wall to the west, only the few Xihu cavalry were still stationed in the western suburbs outside the city, as if they were unwilling to stop and return to the camp.

It's just that without the Xihu slave soldiers attracting the attention of the border soldiers in front of them, if the Xihu cavalry really dares to attack Dingyuan City alone, the young men who assist the border soldiers in the city can let the proud Xihu cavalry die a few times, not to mention, the border soldiers still hold crossbows and other sharp weapons in their hands.

I have to say that the crossbow bolts used for repeaters cost a lot of iron ore and labor. Using those crossbow arrows to shoot the Xihu slave soldiers, Mu Partridge may feel distressed, but if it is used to shoot those Xihu cavalry outside the city, Mu Partridge will never hesitate at all.

After all, when the herald was reporting to Luo Tao about the overall casualties of the southern city wall, Mu Lu heard from the sidelines that the Xihu cavalry outside the city who suddenly participated in the battle and launched an arrow attack on the southern city wall caused a lot of casualties to the border soldiers stationed on the southern city wall.

"Don't be careless." Probably noticing that the border soldiers and soldiers around them had become a little lax because of the retreat of the Xihu army, Mu Lu told them in a deep voice: "The withdrawal of Xihu troops this time may only be a short rest for the army. They may go and come back, and we need to be prepared for a night fight. ”

"Night battles?" Luo Detao and the nearby generals were stunned when they heard this, you must know that Xia Guo will hardly fight at night, unless it is a sneak attack on the enemy, after all, the efficiency of night combat is too low, so low that the commanders of both sides of the enemy and us cannot accept it.

After thinking about it, Luo Detao asked suspiciously: "General, Xihu ----- is running out of military rations?" ”

"Guess again." Mu Lu glanced at Luo Tao, and then reminded with a smile: "Think carefully, Luo Tao." As the commander in chief of an army, whether your judgment is accurate or not is crucial to the situation of the battle. ”

Luo Tao's expression was awesome when he heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and frowned and thought hard.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "General, could it be that the marshal is clamping down on the Xihu people on the periphery?" ”

Mu Lu glanced at Luo Detao appreciatively, he originally felt that Luo Detao had an active brain, knew right from wrong, knew advance and retreat, and was a talent that could be created, but now seeing that he had guessed the truth so quickly, his heart was even more satisfied.

He nodded and said, "Yes, Ben will think the same way. ------In other words, the reason why Dorjee Gongpot was so urgent and rushed to attack the city was because he had realized that if he could not conquer Dingyuan City, then there would be no room for recovery in this battle------"

Luo Tao looked at Mu Partridge in surprise and admiration.

You must know that since the army of Xihu arrived in Dingyuan City, Dingyuan City and the border army led by the marshal have completely lost contact, and the general in front of him can guess the actions of the army from the abnormality of the Xihu people, which can be said to be quick and insightful.

After thinking about it, Luo Tao lowered his voice and asked: "Xihu is newly defeated, and morale will fall, why don't we take this opportunity, let's clear a city gate, lead a team of people, and sneak attack the tribal camp of the Xihu army tonight------"

Mu Partridge was silent when he heard this, it is undeniable that this suggestion did make him a little excited, and the success rate was not low.

But after thinking about it carefully, he still shook his head and vetoed it.

"It's not right. Although the barracks of Xihu are only six or seven miles away from Dingyuan City, it can be predicted that there are Xihu sentry cavalry deployed on the way, and the odds of victory are too low to rely on the infantry of our side soldiers to go to the sneak attack. Moreover, even if they were lucky enough to succeed in the sneak attack, under the pursuit of the tens of thousands of Xihu cavalry, most of the soldiers sent out to the city would not be able to return. Mu explained in detail to Luo Tao why he rejected the proposal, after all, the latter is the general he is focusing on.

"If you want cavalry, you can also come up with a cavalry in the city," added Rodtao in a low voice

However, Mu Partridge still shook his head, and said: "My cavalry in Great Xia has undergone special training for sneak attacks on enemy camps, requiring horses to pick bells, human titles, horses' hooves to wrap themselves, and knights to silence, just to quietly lurk under the noses of the enemy. And these cavalry, who were improvised and had never received special training, let them carry out the so-called "cavalry night raid", in the general's opinion, they were just relying on transferable horses to suppress the enemy with mobility. ------- once these cavalry sent out make a slight movement and alarm the Xihu cavalry, then not only will the night attack fail, but the Xihu cavalry may also be killed for a while by virtue of the superiority in strength. ”

When Luo Detao heard this, he suddenly realized, and said with emotion: "It is still the general who sees far-reaching, and the last general is ashamed." After that, his tone changed, and he frowned and asked, "Then let's continue to defend the city?" ”

"Nope! To strike. Mu Partridge straightened his robe, and said: "At present, our situation is becoming more and more difficult, and blindly defending is not a way, the handsome may have made a move, but the far water does not quench the thirst of the near!" After that, he glanced at the tens of thousands of Xihu cavalry who were slowly withdrawing their troops, and said with a deep face: "No matter what, we must find a way to force back the Xihu army within this month!" ”

"Within this month?"

Luo Tao was taken aback when he heard this, you must know that today is the 23rd of this month, and there are only seven days until the end of the month.

And the Xihu army outside the city, including the slave soldiers and the Xihu cavalry, I am afraid that the number is at least more than 150,000, and within seven days, can they really force this enemy army back?

Rodtao wasn't much sure.

Of course, it is not his turn to worry about this kind of strategic matter for the time being, and it still has to be formulated by Mu Partridge himself.

At the moment, as long as he does a good job of commanding the battle, he is already very satisfied with himself and Mu Partridge.

"Detao, tell the soldiers not to relax, and beware of the Xihu army going and returning. -----If he does retreat, you will immediately count the losses of the dead, and you will know the exact losses!" ”

"Yes!"

Following Mu Lu's departure from the southern city wall, the Xihu army also withdrew.

Perhaps it was because the soldiers on the side of the battle were too hard, so that although Dorjee Gongpo was anxious to conquer Dingyuan City, he also chose to retreat, did not go and returned, and continued to attack the city at night.

Seeing this, Luo Tao ordered the teams of the southern city wall and the captains of the battalion to count the number of casualties of their respective soldiers, and then summarized the number of casualties and handed them over to Mu Partridge.

On this day in the 29th year of Anping in Great Xia, more than 200,000 Xihu troops besieged Dingyuan City, tens of thousands of border soldiers and nearly 10,000 young men in Dingyuan City defended the city, so that Xihu could not be attacked for a long time, and the latter was defeated and retreated.

In this battle, the three city walls of Dingyuan City, the west, north and men, a total of 80,000 slave soldiers were killed.

On the Xia side, in this battle, 6,632 border soldiers and 4,931 young and strong soldiers were killed.

Among them, about seventy percent of the losses of the enemy and the enemy occurred in the southern city wall.

As a result, the corpses of the southern city wall were piled up almost at the same level as the city wall, and the red blood stained the entire city wall.

"Six thousand six hundred and thirty-two----- there are so many?"

In the military tent, when Luo Tao handed over his death to Mu Partridge, Mu Partridge held his breath in shock, and his chest tightened for a while.

You must know that this time he only brought a total of 8,000 border soldiers on the south city wall, and this battle made the border soldiers guarding the south gate lose a full half of their troops in one go!

Half of them, more than 4,000 lives.

I have to say that Mu Lu also led the army to be outnumbered before, and in the face of Xihu's army, there has never been such an astonishing number of casualties.

Of course, when he fought against Xihu in the past, the level of the army commanded by Mu Lu was obviously not comparable to the combination of sergeants and young men under his current command.

He already has a small army in his hands, and he has been through a month of war without resting!

This time, Xihu's Great Khan Dorjee Gongpo led an army of more than 200,000 and launched an attack on Dingyuan City.

What's more, these young men who assisted in defending the city were far less death-oriented than those Xihu slave soldiers outside the city.

But no matter what, Mu Partridge still doesn't have a taste in his heart.

"General.....

From the side, Luo Detao may have seen that Mu Partridge was not feeling in his heart, and quietly persuaded: "General! You've done what you can, and you've done everything you can...... The border soldiers have suffered such heavy casualties, and it is not up to you, the general. ”

After all, in the battle during the day, Mu Partridge had already done everything he could, standing at the head of the city to boost the morale of the army, and urgently dispatched the border army and young men to support the southern city wall, otherwise Xihu would have broken through the southern city wall today!

Besides, if there were no catapults, crossbows, and standard equipment for the border army, I am afraid that the losses of his border soldiers would have doubled, and even if the whole army was wiped out, it was not impossible, after all, what they were facing was an enemy army ten times larger than their own!

After listening to Luo Tao's persuasion, Mu Lu nodded slightly.

Indeed, in order to achieve victory while minimizing his own casualties, he silently made many arrangements, whether it was tactical arrangements or the supply of food such as scones and wine, but he was able to reduce the amount of herbal ointment sacrificed.

It is no exaggeration to say that what a coach should do, he has already done, and he has a clear conscience about this.

But even so, the death of 6,632 border soldiers and 4,931 young men was still like a boulder pressing on his heart, making him breathless.

"Hoo ......"

With a long exhale, Mu Lu looked up at Luo Tao, and said in a deep voice: "When cleaning up the battlefield, burn the remains of the sacrificed soldiers, although I am sorry, but my army may not be able to bury the bones of those sacrificed soldiers in the soil before the corpses decompose, and can only wait to bury the ashes in the grave later!" ”

"The general is merciful." Hearing this, Luo Tao lowered his head and said.

In fact, in his opinion, Mu Partridge can save the ashes of those sacrificed soldiers, and wait until the future to find a chance to enter the ground, which is already a great mercy.

Not to mention the remains, there are not even ashes, at most I will send someone to inform you that someone in your family has died in battle.

That's it.

Even, sometimes there is not even the most basic funeral report, and the family of the soldier has to ask someone to ask for it.

"The utensils containing the ashes, please ask the officials of the Ordnance Department to find a way to help." Mu Partridge added to Rodtao.

In fact, the craftsmen of the Ordnance Division in the city! They also use clay to make pottery, but the pottery they fired is too bad to be gray.

But as a vessel for the ashes, it is sufficient.

"Yes." Luo Tao's jaw clenched his fist, and then he asked, "General, what about those slave soldiers of Xihu?" ”

Mu Lu thought about it and felt that since the Xihu people didn't even treat the living Hu slave soldiers as people, let alone die, so after thinking about it, he said: "Let the soldiers work hard, and ----- it."

He originally wanted to say 'bury it', but then he felt inappropriate, you know, the number of slave soldiers killed in this battle was as high as 80,000, burying so many corpses on the edge of Dingyuan City, waiting for the corpses in the ground to rot in the future, this land can not purify such a large piece of corpse qi.

So, after contemplation, he said, "Drag his body out of the city, take a few barrels of fire oil, and burn it." After all, we still have to live in this land, and we don't want too many rotting corpses to pollute the water and soil here. ”

"Yes!"

Luo Tao clenched his fists and withdrew from the tent.

In fact, at this time, Ding Run, the leader of Mu Partridge's personal guards, was in the tent, and he did not participate in the battle during the day, because he was responsible for commanding some scouts and personal guards, and at any time to convey the movements from other city walls to Mu Partridge who was sitting on the southern city wall, he really wanted to ask Qin Yu and Xu Wei how they were now! But because he saw Mu Partridge's face was deep, he didn't come over to disturb him.

No one spoke.

And the rest of the guards in the tent will naturally not speak rashly, after all, everyone can see that their general is in a bad mood at the moment.

This made it clear that there were so many people in the tent, but no one spoke, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

Finally, Mu Partridge couldn't bear it anymore, took a long breath and stood up, and said casually: "Ben will go out for a walk." ”

The guards did not follow, and only Ding Run followed for the safety of his own general.

After all, none of them are stupid, and they can guess that Mu Lu wants to be alone and quiet.

Walking out of the military tent, Mu Partridge involuntarily walked towards the area of the south city wall, after all, the enemy and the enemy on the other side of the south city wall suffered the most serious casualties, and it is said that the corpses have been piled up, and even the entire city wall is stained red with blood.

At that time, Mu Partridge had been staying in the hall of the city gate tower when the fight began, so he wanted to see the tragic situation on the south wall with his own eyes.

Because he felt that those border soldiers from ordinary backgrounds died fighting for the country this time, and he, Mu Partridge, as the commander of the expedition to Sanchuan, had the obligation to see with his own eyes the remains of those warriors who sacrificed their lives for the country.

"Huh? Checkmate? ”

"It's the general who is coming------"

As Mu Partridge gradually approached the southern city wall, the border soldiers who were carrying the corpses and cleaning up the battlefield stopped what they were doing and looked at him.

And the young men who helped carry the corpses also turned their heads to look at this side.

Somehow, it was clear that there were thousands of people who were busy on the south city wall, but almost no one was talking, and even when they saw Mu Lu, they only whispered a few words in a slightly surprised voice.

The atmosphere, heavy and oppressive.

"These people -----"

Ding Run, who was following behind Mu Partridge, frowned slightly, because he found that the eyes of the border soldiers and young men around him were a little strange.

It stands to reason that Mu Partridge, the general who defended the city, went to the south city wall in person, and these border soldiers and young men should feel happy and honored, but the situation in front of them was that those people looked at Mu Partridge indifferently or numbly.

Even, Ding Run faintly saw an emotion called "strangeness" in the eyes of those people.

He walked a few steps to catch up with Mu Partridge, and said in a low voice: "General, don't get any closer, I'm afraid the mood of these soldiers is ---- a little abnormal." ”

"-----" Mu Lu was stunned and looked around a few times.

As Ding Run said, he also saw indifference and strangeness from the gazes of those border soldiers and young men.

Mu Lu, who guessed the reason after thinking about it, sighed slightly.

This is because the casualties are too great.

You must know that although these young men now belong to the Xia army, they are all civilians and farmers.

As a general, Mu Partridge led these border troops, including those generals who temporarily went to the city to defend the city, maybe this is not a big deal on weekdays, but once there are heavy casualties, most of the border soldiers who are immersed in grief and grief, including these young people, will not regard Mu Partridge as "their own people", and even they will have the idea that "it is because of the general's decision that our compatriots have suffered huge losses".

Once you think of this, whether it is the soldiers of the border soldiers or the young people, it is inevitable that there will be a strange idea in your heart.

"General, let's leave first." Ding Run whispered beside him.

Mu Partridge shook his head, and then, bending down to pluck a blade of grass from the ground, wiped the sludge from it with his sleeve, and then put it to his mouth and slowly blew a tune.

The surrounding border sergeants and soldiers were stunned for a moment, and they didn't know what was going on, so they listened attentively, only feeling soft and melodious, and Mu Partridge was playing a small song that Lingzhou locals would hum

"That's a good ------"

Listen and listen, when Mu Partridge reached the climax, everyone present only felt an inexplicable sadness in their hearts, so that some people, obviously men who could not cry easily, couldn't help but shed tears.

More and more people flocked here, standing or sitting on the ground around Mu Partridge, quietly listening to this song that made them sad, but they couldn't help but want to listen to it.

I saw that in this section of the city wall, there was no sound, only the long and soft song of Mu Partridge.

And listening to this song, those border sergeants, those young men, their indifferent eyes at first gradually softened, as if they were all intoxicated by the music.

--------- dividing line---------

At the other end of the wall, Qin Yu raised his arm to wipe the blood on his face, and the gentle and lovely sister-in-law in his family seemed to come to mind. He hadn't been home for days! But Qin Yu, as a school captain, is now also leading this team of 100 people on the side of the southern city wall, and he also has a lot of things to arrange. He didn't have time to go back and see.

On the side, Xu Wei sat directly on the ground, looking at his blank gaze, and he didn't know that he was missing that relative.

"Another ---- familiar face-----"

Carefully placing the corpse of a border sergeant on a pile of firewood, Qin Yu looked at the corpse of the immature soldier in front of him, and sighed secretly.

This soldier was a recruit of the hundred-man team under his command, and he was only fifteen years old.

"What the hell are we doing -------?"

Qin Yu didn't think too much about the war, but at this moment, when these familiar compatriots around him suffered heavy casualties because of the war, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

What are we fighting for?

Or rather, for whom?

For the sake of Xia Guo? Or is it for the sake of the people of the city?

Obviously, he doesn't have much to do with this country, but he wants to fight for the Xia country?

In the final analysis, it is nothing more than the relationship between him and Xia Guo.

The hostility of Anling, Zhaoling, Suiyang, and the surrounding cities and counties of Shangshui towards the Chu people such as Yanling, Changping, and Shangshui made the Chu people who had as many as 400,000 people who had returned to the Xia Kingdom have such thoughts from time to time: The Xia people do not welcome us, and we are just outsiders living in the Xia Kingdom.

It was precisely because of this idea that Qin Yu could not accept the huge losses suffered by their border soldiers in this war that "embodied the will of the Xia Kingdom".

In the end, Qin Yu came up with an answer that was somewhat acceptable to him: he was just fighting for the warmth in his heart! Nothing else!

Shaking his head and putting those cranky thoughts behind him, Qin Yu stood up and prepared to continue carrying the corpse.

But just as he stood up, two border sergeants ran beside him.

Seeing this, Qin Yu frowned and scolded, "What are you going to do?" Want to be lazy? ”

"Captain Qin------" The two border sergeants stopped and turned around, their expressions a little frightened.

However, fear is fear, and one of them still mustered up the courage to explain: "It was Captain Liang who asked us to suspend our affairs. ”

"Captain Liang?" Qin Yu was stunned, frowned and said, "Nonsense! Captain Liang will tell you that you don't have to carry the corpse anymore? ”

"No, no, no." Another soldier hurriedly explained: "It was General Mu who was still playing a tune with blades of grass over there, and Captain Liang told us all to come over and listen, it was said that it was General Luo's order." ”

Luo Detao is the general of Nancheng, and Qin Yu is just a captain, although the two are not directly subordinate to the subordinate relationship, but after all, the military position is several big grades behind, which makes Qin Yu's face a little pale.

But what surprised him even more was the first half of the soldier's sentence.

"General Mu? Blowing tunes with blades of grass? ”

Looking at the backs of the two soldiers running away, Qin Yu hesitated for a moment, and walked over quickly.

He was curious, curious about why the general was present at this time on the southern wall, and for what purpose he was playing that tune.

Walking briskly for about two hundred zhang, Qin Yu's face was stunned, because he saw that hundreds of border soldiers and soldiers had gathered in the distance.

And the incredible thing is that these people are very quiet, so that Qin Yu can really hear the intermittent and non-existent sound of the grass flute.

"Hey, let's go."

Qin Yu used his body to forcibly squeeze into the crowd.

Immediately, the border sergeant in front of him, who was quietly listening to the sound of the grass flute, turned his head angrily, his lips moved slightly, probably wanting to curse, but after seeing that it was a military attache behind him, he immediately subconsciously shrank his head and forcibly squeezed to the side, leaving a vacant seat for Qin Yu.

It's no wonder that although Qin Yu is only a nine-rank military attaché, he is no longer a soldier in the army.

"Hmm." Qin Yu nodded at the soldier, and then continued to squeeze forward, with great effort, and was glared at by many border soldiers and soldiers in displeasure or even anger, Qin Yu finally squeezed into the center of the crowd.

He was surprised to see that in the center of the crowd, General Mu Lu, whom he respected quite a lot, was standing among the border soldiers and soldiers at this moment, and next to him, there were border soldiers who were quietly listening to the sound of the grass flute.

With that level of intensity, Qin Yu even suspected that this Mu Partridge General couldn't even turn around on the spot.

"Mu Partridge------ still have such a ability?"

Qin Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"You guy, what are you doing there?" Beside him, there was a dissatisfied complaint.

Qin Yu frowned and turned his head, only to find that the other party was the Captain Liang Stork in the mouth of the two soldiers just now

"Ah, Captain Liang------" At this time, Qin Yu also reacted, and hurriedly squeezed towards his companions, leaving a place for the stork, and whispered: "Captain Liang, you sit here, you sit here." ”

"--------" Liang Stork rolled his eyes secretly, but fortunately, he was used to seeing the actions of the soldiers along the way he squeezed in, and sat down unceremoniously.

"General Mu, what is he doing?" Qin Yu asked in a low voice.

"I don't know." Liang Stork shrugged his shoulders and replied in a low voice: "At that time, we were carrying the corpses, and Mu Partridge came, and without saying anything, he just picked a blade of grass and played a tune----

Before the words fell, a displeased whisper came from the front left: "Over there, shut up for me!" ”

Liang Stork Sui relied on Qin Yu by his side, and the two captains sat together, and glanced at each other like a fox and a tiger, but suddenly found that the person in front of him on the left was actually the battalion captain of a battalion in the army, and quickly lowered his head again.

The battalion captain was one level higher than Qin Yu's military ranks, and the stork naturally didn't say much, so he once again surrendered his gaze to the Mu Partridge not far away, and listened to the grass flute music quietly.

The song is soft and long, but you can clearly feel an inexplicable sadness, and the song depicts as if it is a kind of separation that is close to the end of the world and difficult to see again.

This made the border sergeants, soldiers and young men present have a strong resonance.

No, Qin Yu saw with his own eyes that the few tall and young men sitting among the side sergeants and soldiers, some had tears in their eyes, and some raised their hands to wipe their tears, making it difficult to imagine that the other party was also an eight-foot-tall man.

However, Qin Yu felt that he could understand them, because when listening to the sad song, he inevitably thought of his sister-in-law and little Lori who were close at home at the moment, thought of their mothers and sons' expectations that he would return safe and sound, and also thought of the grief of their families who had died in this Dingyuan City after learning the bad news.

Is that sadness like the one depicted in that song?

"General Mu Partridge...... It turned out to be a remembrance of the soldiers who died in battle. ”

Qin Yu said secretly.

I have to say that he came a little late, and before he could sit down, Mu Partridge had finished blowing the last note and removed the grass flute from his mouth.

The end of the song.

In this regard, the nearby border sergeants and young men were a little reluctant, and they all looked at the Mu Partridge with expectant eyes, hoping to listen to the beautiful and sad music that could resonate with them again.

But to their regret, the Mu Partridge, who lowered the hand holding the straw flute, opened his mouth to say something to them, a word that surprised and surprised them.

"Ben will know that the vast majority of you present are at a loss at the moment, at a loss as to what you are fighting for, and what those who sacrificed are ---- for."

When they heard Mu Partridge say this frankly, most of the sergeants and soldiers present showed complicated expressions.

Yes, they are indeed struggling with this, who let in this war that embodies the will of the Xia Kingdom, only see the soldiers and soldiers on their side, these Xia people are fighting bloodily, and they have sacrificed countless people for this, but they can't see any army that came to the rescue? They are not the only ones in the army of the Xia Kingdom!

Therefore, it is inevitable that they will have doubts in their hearts.

All of this makes sense.

All around, there was silence, and all the border sergeants and soldiers silently stared at the not tall General Mu Partridge.

And at this moment, Mu Partridge opened his mouth again and said solemnly: "Yes, you are indeed fighting for the Xia Kingdom in your heart,------ what Ben Jiang can't understand is, why do you have such complaints?" Aren't you a part of the Xia people, aren't you a part of my Great Xia?! Fighting for the country? Fighting for your fellow citizens? Is there something wrong with that?! ”

This ingenious rhetorical question made the sergeants and soldiers present stunned.

"Country?"

"Compatriots?"

The soldiers and generals of the soldiers on the sides looked at each other with young men.

They originally thought that Mu Partridge would explain the reason for this battle, but they didn't expect that this Mu Partridge actually asked them in such a strong tone, as if he was asking them harshly.

It is unbelievable that after hearing this stern question, instead of being angry, these border soldiers and soldiers felt an inexplicable panic, as if they had really done something unforgivable.

Glancing around at the sergeants and generals on all sides, Mu Partridge softened his tone and said: "General, I won't say anything to thank you, because in the general's opinion, you are a part of the Xia people, and it is natural to share worries for the country!" -------, though, Ben will be proud of you! As a Xia person, you get the respect and treatment you deserve, maybe the history will not record you, but I will remember, the people will remember, in the 29th year of Anping in my Great Xia, in the battle to resist the invasion of Xihu, the soldiers who hindered the 230,000 troops of Xihu, those soldiers who fought bravely and died generously, came from the border army of my Great Xia!! -------- future generations will call you warriors who sacrificed their lives for the country! …… Are you satisfied with this title?! ”

"Oh!"

A border sergeant raised his arms and shouted.

Hearing this, the nearby border sergeants also raised their arms and shouted in agreement.

The cold cry frightened those young men into looking around in shock, wondering what was wrong with these people.

"It's -----"

Qin Yu glanced at his right hand and smiled self-deprecatingly.

I remember that a moment ago, he was still struggling with this matter, but at this moment, listening to that Mu Partridge's words, he suddenly became enlightened.

Yes, if you are a soldier and fight for your country, even if you sacrifice more, what is it?

Thinking of this, he clenched his fists and waved his arms.

Seeing this, Mu Partridge waved his hand and signaled to the soldiers to stop.

The sergeants and generals of the Zhubian side guessed that this general Mu Partridge still had something to say, so they successively collected their voices.

And at this moment, a quiet question sounded opposite Mu Lu: "General Mu, is there really no reward?" Doesn't it mean that there is a reward for winning the battle? ”

Including Mu Lu, the sergeants and soldiers present were stunned, and then burst into laughter, making the atmosphere even warmer.

"You idiot!" Qin Yu slapped the head of the stork next to him fiercely, and said in his heart: General Mu Partridge is enlightening our army, what are you talking about?

However, Mu Partridge didn't care, or rather, he felt that the atmosphere had become better after the stork interjected.

"Hmm......" I saw Mu Partridge pretend to be silent for a moment, and asked Liang Stork: "What reward do you want?" ”

Maybe he didn't expect Mu Partridge to ask himself, but Liang Stork was a little flattered, scratched his head and said, "It's better to have a hundred taels of silver or something." ”

"A hundred taels of silver ------"

Everyone was very familiar with the purchasing power of the border soldiers, and they looked at the stork in amazement.

You must know that in the Xia Kingdom, one hundred taels is enough for a family to live a very nourishing year.

To the surprise of the soldiers and generals on all sides, Mu Partridge raised three fingers when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Ben will give you three times!" ”

"Three, three hundred taels?"

While the sergeants and soldiers on the sides gasped in shock, the stork was also dumbfounded.

He hurriedly said, "General, can you divide a few acres of land with us?" Let's go home and have children? ”

Mu Partridge thought for a moment, and directly laughed and scolded: "You are also a military attache who is not big or small!" Why is it so unproductive. If the Hu people had retreated, they would have rewarded you with three times the land! ”

Before the soldiers and soldiers who were full of joy could react, they saw Liang Stork staring at him and said urgently: "General Mu Partridge, you are not married yet, can you give us a woman?" ”

Mu Partridge nodded, put up three fingers, and said with a laugh: "Okay, Ben will also give you three times------ do you think Ben will say that?!" ”

The sergeants and soldiers on all sides laughed loudly, and they all looked at the stork with amusement, but they pouted their lips a little depressed when they saw it.

"This pawn is kind of interesting------"

After looking at the stork after a few glances, Mu Partridge said with a smile: "I can't make the decision for you in this matter, but if you have the ability to kidnap a few women, as long as you don't force the other party and don't do anything that corrupts the discipline of the sergeants on our side, Ben will not only not stop it, but will also give you another money to celebrate your marriage." As for whether you get the money or not, it's up to you. ”

The sergeants and generals on all sides laughed, if nothing else, Liang Stork is famous this time.

At this time, Mu Lu set his eyes on those young men and said to them: "Ben will not forget the contribution of the soldiers and soldiers, and he will not forget you. ------- in front of the huge Xihu people, you are firmly on the side of the general, and the soldiers who are on the side of the border soldiers will not forget the warriors who died in this battle. ------ some people may be worried that Ben will cross the river and tear down the bridge, and after defeating the Xihu people, he will break his alliance with the tribes. So here, Rong Ben will reiterate once again that Ben Jiang and the Great Xia behind Ben Jiang will definitely not forget everyone's contributions and contributions! ”

After hearing this, these young men also cheered, and their cheers also infected the soldiers of the border soldiers!

Low morale due to a large number of casualties on the side has abounded since ancient times, even some armies that have stepped on the battlefield to fight for the sake of the country, the nation, and other great interests, let alone young people who are not soldiers in the first place.

However, Mu Partridge once again captured the hearts of the border soldiers and the young men through a grass flute song and an impassioned speech, and lifted and boosted the morale of both, which seemed to many people to be incredible.

And what made everyone feel most happy and honored was the dialogue between Mu Lu and the border sergeants.

At that time, Mu Partridge used a humorous sentence to ridicule Liang Stork, which made the soldiers and soldiers present feel a very novel feeling: it turned out that the general who commanded the whole city was not always high, he was actually very close to us.

It was with the interfering of the stork that the atmosphere on the south side of the city wall became very good. For example, when Mu Partridge had encouraged the generals and was about to return to the military tent, another young border sergeant plucked up his courage and begged General Mu to play Fang Cai's tune again.

Maybe this soldier is like Qin Yu, who only heard the news at the end of the song, hoping to listen to it completely.

Of course, it could be that you just like that tune.

But in any case, this proposal was generally supported by all the border sergeants and young men present.

Actually, Mu Partridge doesn't care about blowing that tune again, after all, what's there to play again? However, he couldn't help but want to tease those border soldiers, deliberately looked at the sky that had already darkened, and said hesitantly: "It's okay to blow it again, but now it's dark, and you haven't cleaned up the battlefield yet......"

Sure enough, hearing this, the nearby border soldiers couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

And at this moment, Luo Tao may have guessed Mu Lu's thoughts, and shouted loudly in the distance: "General Mu, you can blow it again." ----- general rest assured, at the end of the meeting, the general will order the torches to be lit, and he will also ask these rabbit cubs to clean up the battlefield by tonight. ”

The nearby sergeants were slightly stunned, and then they all started to coax.

Seeing this, Mu Lu was not hypocritical, and said with a smile: "Okay, since General Luo will guarantee you, this king will blow it again." -------That's right, follow the hum. ”

"Oh-"

The generals of the border cheered.

After that, Mu Partridge blew it again, and those border soldiers, even young and strong, this time as Mu Partridge said, couldn't help but hum along, hoping to keep this beautiful song in mind.
