It was still dawn, and many people were still asleep and had not yet woken up, and when they heard the loud roar of the violent rush, they almost lost their souls. When everyone ran to the highest place to look, they suddenly saw the monstrous white waves, rolling down, but the Southern Korean troops along the way had no defense. There was no time to put up any resistance, and countless people, horses, boats, and boats were swept away......

Hearing this, Tuoba Hong rushed out and stood at the highest place of Shouyang City and looked down, but saw the corpses of the North ** team that was full of river water in the past, and at this time, it was like the most insignificant leaves, pouring down the rushing river......

The grass and trees of Shouyang City and Beishan were gradually revealed.

Of the more than 300,000 people who died, less than 1,000 corpses remained, which shows the power of this man-made flood. Above the downstream, the cry shook the sky, and the mourning was all over the field. The soldiers of the Southern Dynasty never dreamed that victory was in sight, but they suddenly encountered such a curse, and there were as many as 300,000 people and horses washed away by the flood.

The two sides have not yet fought face to face, and with this great flood alone, six or seven hundred thousand people have died.

The good news came one after another, but Tuoba Hong sat in the position of the commander of the Chinese army, and there was no joy at all. What the hell is war? The sense of honor and glory that had once made his blood boil in the past was suddenly lost without a trace. Men are taught from an early age that good men should make great achievements. However, behind this achievement, how many lives are as small as dust?

He had never been so disheartened.

It seems that he has become indifferent to his own throne, to the royal conquest, and to the victory of any war.

However, the army of the South has not yet retreated. General Chen measured the forces of the north and the south, and both sides claimed to have a million soldiers, but in terms of actual numbers, they were between five or six hundred thousand. After this great flood, the casualties of each other were almost equal. He calculated that according to the current survival strength contest, there should be about 250,000 people on his side, and there are only 200,000 people in the northern country at most.

How many times in the life of a general can he be lucky enough to encounter the opportunity of the emperor of the empire to drive the expedition in person? ? Before the war, he was determined to defeat Tuoba Hong and defeat this young talent, who was known as a rare young talent in a hundred years, and only in this way would he leave his name in history. Originally, he was almost sure that he would succeed, but unexpectedly, the dam was not strong, and instead the victory was instantaneous, and the automation came to naught.

Isn't it self-inflicted?

He was still young and vigorous, and he couldn't accept such a defeat at all, so he took advantage of the receding flood to immediately fight Tuoba Hong again. Moreover, because the North ** team soaked in the corpse-strewn flood for so long, the corpse poison spread, and the disinfection measures at that time were not in place, so small-scale plagues broke out in the barracks from time to time, and dozens of soldiers died inexplicably every day.

The entire barracks was filled with an extremely sad atmosphere.

Only the King of Xianyang was very happy.

The retreat of the Great Flood had made him feel infinitely angry and frightened, and in such a situation, it also won for Tuoba Hong. What is this?? He didn't spend a single soldier, and the victory was as if it had been picked up. Why did the heavens favor him so much??? Fortunately, as soon as the plague spread, the Southern Korean army immediately learned about it, and immediately fought hard to prepare for a real life-and-death contest with Tuoba Hong.

The hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides seem to be fighting out.

General Liu can fight out the hundreds of thousands of horses in the Southern Dynasty, anyway, there are many people in the Southern Dynasty. However, Tuoba Hong did not dare. The remaining 200,000 people are less than that, half of them are Xianbei Tuoba's elite cavalry, and they are also the most combat-effective team in the entire empire.

However, as the emperor of the imperial expedition, he could not retreat and escape. Otherwise, the morale of the northern kingdom will plummet.

He stayed in the tent all night long, with a sad face, but he felt that nothing had gone well for more than a year. The gray hair on the sideburns is even deeper.

On this night, a total lunar eclipse suddenly appeared in the sky.

That night, the sky was clear, a full moon was in the sky, and the clear light sprinkled all along the Huai River. However, in the middle of the night, a shadow suddenly appeared on the mirror-like full moon, and then the shadow grew larger and larger, and later, the whole moon turned into a terrible black hole, leaving only a golden halo outside......

This terrible scene was first discovered by the patrolling soldiers, who shouted and immediately woke up all the men. Everyone looked out of the wind and shouted loudly.

"Oh my God...... Tengu ate the moon...... Tengu ate the moon ......"

Tuoba Hong and others also heard the news.

This situation lasted for more than an hour.

Many whispered. Some people say, is it because the war has killed too much, there have been too many casualties, and the soul has been invaded by vicious dogs, and now it has come out to make trouble?

Some people say, is it a sign of some great disaster?

Some of the Xianbei ministers even exuded some strange theories of disaster......

Standing on a high place, Tuoba Hong did not pay attention to these discussions. His heart moved, and he remembered an incident that the Queen Mother had told him when he was a child. It was still a total solar eclipse, not a total lunar eclipse. In broad daylight, the good sun is actually broken. This kind of sight is rarely seen, and Tuoba Hong and many of those present have never seen a total solar eclipse.

However, he remembered it at this time and knew that it was a natural phenomenon.

However, the voices of discussion below are getting louder and louder, and although it is a trivial matter, it will seriously shake the morale of the army if it is not done well; after all, now is the time when people's hearts are most impetuous, and there is an atmosphere of pessimism and disappointment permeated the barracks.

He called all his ministers together for counseling.

This time, the ministers were once again clearly divided into two factions. Among them, the Xianbei ministers headed by the King of Xianyang took the opportunity to speak, and the Taiwei took the lead in attacking, saying that the casualties in this war were too serious, and it was the soul of the Xianbei people who were angry in heaven, and suggested that His Majesty should stop changing the law, restore the ancestral system, and vigorously treat the Xianbei people, so that there would be no damage.

The more Tuoba Hong listened, the more gloomy his face became.

For the first time, he raised his head and looked at King Xianyang.

For the first time, King Xianyang saw this kind of light from the eyes of the imperial brother, and his heart sank, and he lowered his head.

"King Xianyang, why don't you say a word?? What do you think? ”

King Xianyang hurriedly said, "Brother Chen...... The younger brother also felt that this death was too heavy......"

Takubahiro laughed.

This time, although it was a decision made by him personally, at that time, King Xianyang and others were extremely resolute in the main battle faction. Once upon a time, how fast did the limelight become?
