Chapter 371
Yuansu Ye Chengjiang County's army totaled 80,000, 30,000 stayed in Chengjiang County to defend the city, took 40,000 to Beijing, and the remaining 10,000 who fought with Xiahou Qing's people before were counted in casualties and had to recuperate.
And this time in Beijing, they had a total of 70,000 troops. There are 30,000 left, half of which are the troops of the Xiahou family headquarters brought by Xiahou Qing, and half are the Qi army that joined on the way here.
Because they fought under the banner of Yuan Suye and Xiahou Yu, their prestige was very high, and the call for support for them was also very high, so they didn't experience any waves along the way, such as bandits blocking the road.
Bandit: Damn, I have to dare to block the way! Is the 70,000 army good, or Xiahou Yu and Yuan Suye, a god of war and an animal leading the troops, is Lao Tzu alive or not!
It is probably rare in history, when the army is overwhelming, but the people are not in a hurry.
They know Xiahou Yu's character too well, and they will definitely not kill innocents indiscriminately, especially the people of Daqi. Their purpose in going to Beijing was just to get Xiahou Yuan to step down.
As for whether Xiahou Kite can step down or not, they actually don't care so much now, anyway, no matter who is the emperor, as long as they are good to the people and let the people live a good life, they are good emperors, and they all support it.
So whether it's Xiahou Kite or Xiahou Yu, they don't mind. Just don't bother them. The gods fight, they look at the excitement, eat melons, don't suffer, then it's easy to say anything.
Xiahou Kite was still sleeping, when she heard someone running in from outside, and hurriedly reported: "Niangniang! Mother, something is wrong! Yuan Suye brought tens of thousands of troops to the city! ”
Xiahou sat up from the bed suddenly, and he was completely sleepy.
"Down to the city! How is it possible, didn't the last time the spies came to the news that they would arrive in at least seven days! ”
Kneeling on the ground, sweating profusely, "The slave doesn't know." But outside the city, Wuyang and Wuyang are indeed Yuan Suye's army. The minions heard that their banner was Yuan and, and ...... Xiahou. ”
Xiahou Kite slapped on the bed rail, "Xiahou Qing!" Damn, now even he dares to commit a crime and disobey the order of the mourning family. really got together with Yuan Suye, and if he didn't hold his tail in Chengjiang County, he dared to enter the city, and he really thought that his surname was Xiahou, and the mourning family would not dare to kill him! ”
The slave wiped his sweat again, "Niangniang, what should we do now?" The slave also heard that although he did not come forward, he was accompanied by Xiahou Yu and Luo Tiantian...... If they do come along, then ......"
"They're definitely coming along, guess!" Xiahou Kite snorted the minion, got up and said to the maid, "Hurry up, dress up for the mourning family." The mourning family wants to go to the city tower in person to take a look at the bold Yuan Suye, and look at the second brother and sister of the mourning family who have not seen each other for many years. ”
When Xiahou Kite and his party arrived at the city tower, the sky was already white.
The military flag outside the city was unfurled, and the square cloth of the black Han Qi totem was embroidered with the two big characters of red and gold Xiahou, and then under the white sky, it looked more and more cold and solemn.
The cold winter wind blew, and the banner crackled, as if the fierce beast had been resurrected, and was about to pounce on it with its bloody mouth open and bite the enemy to death.
The other is the Yuanzi banner with black characters on a red background, which is the banner of the headquarters of Yuansu Ye Bencheng Jiang County, and the totem is a lion, and the totem personally rewarded by Qi Yong at the beginning seems to be really ironic now.
Xiahou Kite was dressed in purple and black and gold clothes, as graceful and luxurious as ever, even after so many years, the years have not left any traces on her face.
She stood on the wall, looking at the boundless army below, her eyes dark, but not the slightest fear.
The general next to him stood quietly and solemnly, ready to obey her orders.
Xiahou Yuan was silent for a while, and said slowly: "How many people are there?" ”
The general said, "About seventy or eighty thousand." ”
Xiahou Kite's eyes sank a little more. - Seventy or eighty thousand people, if they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, or recruits who have not received any professional training, they are naturally not afraid, but these people are different. They are either Xiahou Yu's subordinates back then, who have fought with him in life and death I don't know how many times, or they are soldiers who Yuan Suye personally supervised the drills, although they have not been in the army for many years, but they have also fought hard with Xiahou Yu's subordinates. In particular, they experienced two important battles to destroy Jiang and Yan, and their experience and psychological quality were no worse than the army under Xiahou Yu.
Such an army of 70,000 people is undoubtedly a real army of tigers and wolves. One person can withstand ten or twenty people, not to mention that Xiahou Yu personally commands it.
She pressed her fingers on the city wall with a slight force, her bones turned white, but there was no expression on her face. No panic, no worries, and no fear.
Just indifferent. It was colder and bleaker than the cold of early winter, and it was solemn and desolate.
The general didn't dare to ask more, only Xiahou Yuan asked, and he replied.
They had never seen Xiahou Kite come to the front line to command the battle, they only knew that the Xiahou family, regardless of men, women and children, was not to be underestimated. But when it really came to this day, this scene, I couldn't help but admire it from the bottom of my heart.
Even if the army is overwhelmed, even if it may fail. Their face did not show half of a panicked look, but was confident, as if she held everything in her hands, and anything happened in her expectation.
This kind of courage of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him without changing his face is that there are a few generals who have been fighting for many years who can do it.
As long as she doesn't panic, the soldiers will have the confidence to charge into battle. When the two armies are fighting, the most taboo thing is that the mentality of the commander collapses first. The coach was frightened by the opponent's position, and he also expected the soldiers to play with their lives and win the battle.
"Keep the gates shut. Since they have sent it to the door, it is also necessary for us to send a large army to the past, which is heartbreaking, tiring and exhausting, and consumed in vain. ”
The general immediately received the order and said, "The Queen Mother can rest assured, the city gate has been strictly defended, and it is absolutely impossible to break through the outside easily." But if they attack, our people are afraid that they will not be able to hold out for long. ”
"It's okay, they're not going to attack."
Xiahou Kite swore by it, and after speaking, he looked down the city tower again. The woman in the dark clothes who appeared out of nowhere, dressed in a strong suit, was looking up at her.
Xiahou Kite's eyes flashed with monstrous anger in an instant.
Luo Tiantian!
She had long known that this damn woman was pregnant again, and she didn't toss it off. Naturally, my heart is not happy. But it's not like now, seeing her bulging belly with her own eyes makes her feel like her blood is boiling.
Why isn't she dead yet!
Why is her relationship with Xiahou Yu so good!
Why the hell!
The person who rode a horse and stood next to Xiahou Yu was not her......
