Wang Ze saw that the situation outside the city was not good, and immediately went out of the city to rescue, but at this time, there were only thousands of infantry troops led by Chu Honghang in the city, and Liu Zhong, Zhao Kun, Hu Bing, Li Shun and others were also infantry troops who were currently defending everywhere in the city, and only more than 100 personal guards led by Cheng Hu were cavalry in the city.

At this time, more than 800 hundred Xianbei cavalry had already rushed into the cavalry formation led by Ge Wei, stirring it up like a 'mess', and it didn't take long for a team of Xianbei cavalry to kill Ge Wei's military formation.

In the cavalry, Ge Wei was stabbed in the shoulder by a Xianbei general with a horse lance, but fortunately he was desperately saved by his own soldiers on the left and right, and most of the other cavalry were rookies who had not been killed, and they would have been killed and fled.

At this moment, the white wolf battalion, which was cruising in the east of Jinan City to prevent a small group of Qi cavalry from sneaking attack, rushed over, Wang Zeda was in a hurry, and the white wolf battalion in Changguang County had suffered heavy losses, how could he still rush up this time!

Seeing that reinforcements were coming, the Baibao Xianbei cavalry immediately gathered three hundred men and horses to rush over, but when there were still dozens of zhang away from the reinforcements, those young boys dismounted one by one.

From a distance, you can tell that some teenagers are holding crossbows, although the crossbows are a great threat to themselves, but this distance of dozens of zhang can be killed in just a blink of an eye, and the Xianbei cavalry is not afraid of it.

However, just when the Baibao Xianbei cavalry rushed to a distance of ten zhang, the young man on the opposite side actually threw out black balls, and before he could react, these iron balls exploded in the Xianbei people's military formation.

It turned out that when he was in Changguang County, the White Wolf Battalion suffered heavy losses in the war with the Qi army because they were all teenagers who had never fought before. After Xu Zheng, Yan Xiaowu and Zhu Bofu discussed and summed up the lessons together after the battle, they decided to equip each soldier in the White Wolf Battalion with a strong crossbow.

Zhu Bofu even suggested that each cavalry be equipped with two of the latest iron-shelled thunderbolts produced by the cottage, which could greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the young men of the White Wolf Battalion.

Previously, because Ge Wei was worried about the identities of Zhu Bofu and others, he deliberately arranged a few people in the east of the city to guard against a sneak attack by a small group of Qi cavalry.

When a few people heard the explosion in the west of the city and rushed over, they were seeing the scene of Bai Bao Xianbei slaughtering their robes, but they were not frightened.

Because of the strong combat effectiveness of the Baibao Xianbei cavalry, Zhu Bofu and Xu Zheng immediately ordered the cavalry under their command to dismount and prepare to use crossbow arrows to 'shoot' the attack, while Yan Xiaowu's department was preparing to charge on the horse.

Yan Xiaowu and the three of them were all composed of more than 500 people, and hundreds of thunderbolts were thrown into the 300-person Xianbei army formation that rushed over, and 'flowers' immediately bloomed everywhere, and the blood quickly formed red puddles on the sun-dried ground.

As soon as the Xianbei cavalry who were rushing to kill Ge Wei's department heard the explosion, they saw that their wounded robe Ze was slashed and killed by Yan Xiaowu's army, and they rushed over with red eyes in anger, and some of the uninjured Xianbei cavalry at the city 'gate' also had nearly a thousand remnants at this time, and they also killed Ge Wei's army at this time.

However, because the Xianbei cavalry formation had been dispersed and was divided into several pieces, there was no sharpness at the beginning, Ge Wei also stopped his injuries at this time, and commanded the original 3,000 descendants of the cavalry to gradually surround and kill the Xianbei cavalry.

Wang Ze saw that the cavalry outside the city regained the advantage with the support of the White Wolf Battalion, so he relieved himself and led the infantry army in the city out of the city to kill all the Xianbei wounded soldiers outside the city 'gate'.

The fighting outside the city did not subside until the end of the afternoon, and the smell of saltpeter explosions could still be faintly smelled in the air.

Corpses lay outside the city, some of them had been trampled by the horses into a mass of 'flesh' mud, and they were really unrecognizable to their mothers.

The pungent smell of blood from the large expanses of blood caused a large swarm of flies to fly, as if they were participating in an feast.

Pu Yangxun was a little afraid to look at the miserable situation outside the city, but he didn't care about the sheep withering, and stood at the head of the city with high spirits, as if he led the soldiers to win the war. Zhuo Ran and Fan Wenzhong followed behind Wang Ze, still holding a pen in their hands, they were really good secretaries.

"Lang Jun, it's July and the weather is hot, and we still need to collect and bury the corpses outside the city as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid it will cause a big plague, and it will hurt the heavens!" Yang Ku looked outside the city and suggested to Wang Ze.

Pu Yangxun, who was covering his eyes, nodded again and again when he heard Yang Ku's words, and said, "If what Brother Gao said is extremely true, the corpse outside the city needs to be buried as soon as possible." ”

Wang Ze urgently dispatched tens of thousands of infantry soldiers to dig more than a dozen deep pits ten miles outside the city, all of which were seven or eight meters deep.

The clean-up inside and outside the city was carried out at the same time, first cleaning out the soldiers who died in battle under his command one by one and tidying them up.

If it is buried in Qizhou, it will be dug up in the future, so these war dead will be cremated and sent to the Haotian Temple for worship in the future.

More than 2,000 cavalrymen were killed outside the city, including Yang Fei and dozens of officers at the rank of commander and team leader, and only dozens of people were killed by the weapons thrown by the Xianbei cavalry because there was no close contact in the city.

Seeing that there were just six or seven thousand cavalry, and in the blink of an eye, more than two thousand people were lost, Wang Ze's face couldn't help but twitch, and the loss was not small.

However, compared with the Northern Qi, Wang Ze felt much more comfortable, and it only took less than 3,000 losses to eliminate nearly 6,000 'elite' Xianbei cavalry in the Northern Qi, especially 1,000 Baoxianbei cavalry, and 100 armored cavalry.

More importantly, after eliminating such a group of Xianbei 'elite' cavalry, Wang Ze obviously felt that the confidence of the soldiers under his command, whether it was the original lineage or the young men recruited later, had soared.

And the loyalty of those heroes who defected behind has increased dramatically, and some people who were probably still a little cautious are now working hard to train the soldiers under their command, ready to perform well here in Wang Ze.

Murong Shaozong led 50,000 Han troops from the Northern Qi Outer Provinces to the south from Yecheng, transferred from Liyang County to the Yellow River to board the ships of the division eastward, and when they reached the north section of Puyang, they received the news that Lou Errong's cavalry had been destroyed.

At this time, it was already the fifteenth day of July five days after Lou Errong's troops were wiped out, and this day was the Midyear Festival.

The Zhongyuan Festival originated from Taoism, according to the "Daozang": "On the day of the Zhongyuan Dynasty, the local officials searched and selected everyone to distinguish between good and evil...... He recites the scriptures day and night, the great sages of the ten directions, and sings the spiritual chapter. Prisoner hungry ghost, relieved at that time. Therefore, since ancient times, people have believed that this day is a day to sacrifice deceased relatives and mourn ancestors.

Of course, since Emperor Wu of Liang set up the Bon Festival in a big way to worship Buddha, the Zhongyuan Festival has also become the Bon Festival of the Futu Sect.

Murong Shaozong immediately suspended his march, reported to Yecheng on the destruction of Lou Errong, and on the other hand, summoned a large number of monks from Puyang County to hold a Buddhist ceremony for Lou Errong's department.

At this time, the Northern Qi Dynasty from the emperor Gao Yang to the Xianbei nobles and Han high-ranking officials in the court all worshiped Buddha in a big way, although these people were all calloused and ruthless masters, but this did not affect their great image in the hearts of the Futu disciples.

Although Gao Yang believes in Buddhism, he often does some 'hairy' and terrifying things, once he went to Jinfengtai to receive Buddha ordination, and somehow remembered to be released.

So he ordered his subordinates to find many people to 'insert' wings made of mats for them, and let them jump off the high platform, saying that this is called liberation (if he 'inserted' the mat and jumped down by himself, avant-garde art would immediately have more than a thousand years of history).

However, Murong Shaozong's belief in Buddhism is much more honest than Gao Yang's, as a descendant of Murong Xianbei Murong Ke, Murong Shaozong is deeply influenced by his family, and his devotion to Buddhism is not comparable to those butchers in Northern Qi.

Murong Shaozong followed Er Zhurong in the early days, and before the "River 'Yin' Incident", he advised Er Zhurong, the leader of Qihu, not to slaughter the Luoyang eunuchs, but later Er Zhurong was defeated and took refuge in Gao Huan.

Emperor Wu of Liang took advantage of Hou Jing's rebellion against the Eastern Wei Dynasty and sent Xiao Yuanming to lead an army of 100,000 to the Northern Expedition, but Murong Shaozong seized the opportunity to defeat the Liang army and captured Xiao Yuanming and other Liang generals.

After defeating the Liang division, Murong Shaozong did not stop at all, and led his army to turn around and attack Hou Jing non-stop

After Hou Jing's rebellion, the army was strong and strong, and he knew the generals of the Eastern Wei Dynasty very well, so he was very rampant. Han Liang led his troops to come, and Hou Jing contemptuously called him "a pig intestine child".

When Gao Yue came, Hou Jing was still unmoved, saying that he was "a soldier who is a good soldier". It wasn't until he heard that Murong Shaozong was coming, that he "knocked on the saddle and was afraid of 'color'", and muttered to himself: "Who told this Xianbeier (Gao Cheng) to send Murong Shaozong, if this is the case, King Gao (Gao Huan) should not really die."

After only staying in Puyang County for more than a day, Murong Shaozong led the army to continue his journey, and the day he stayed was not just for Lou Errong's subordinates.

After the Fa Incident, the morale of the infantry army under the command of Murong Shaozong was raised again, and at this time, the sailors who came from Northern Yuzhou and other places had already come to Puyang County.

Murong Shaozong and this navy army converged and sailed down the river together, and at Jeju Murong Shaozong led the infantry army to land and transfer to Jishui, and this navy will continue to advance eastward from the mouth of the Yellow River to the sea into Jishui.

There was no smile on Murong Shaozong's face until he crossed Jishui, and a pro-soldier captain next to him brought a bowl of ginger soup, and when he saw him like this, he asked, "Why does the metropolitan governor need to be like this?" Hou Jing was so rampant that many generals in the court were defeated by him, and as a result, the governor of the capital immediately collapsed! ”

Murong Shaozong looked at the surging water in front of him, sighed and said: "The thousands of cavalry under the command of Lou Errong's brave men are mostly 'elite' veterans who have been in battle for a long time, and there are even Baibao Xianbei personal guards who were personally selected by His Majesty before, but they were all wiped out in less than two hours!" ”

In mid-July, there is a cool breeze at night by the water, and the reeds by the river are swaying in the wind, and there are already reed 'flowers' popping up.

"According to the dozens of sergeants who fled back, there were more than 100,000 anti-thieves, nearly 10,000 cavalry, equipped with strong bows and crossbows, and there was a kind of magic that could make loud noises like thunder. Most of Lou Errong's subordinates died at the hands of this thing! Looking at the bright moon rising in the distance, a sense of foreboding rose in Murong Shaozong's heart.

He sighed with his hands behind his back: "When I was young, I joined the army first with Er Zhurong, and then defected to Emperor Gaozu Shenwu, all of which were not reused. Later, Emperor Wenxiang and His Majesty did not give up, and promoted me, so far I am close to Ershun (sixty years old) in a high position, although death is not enough to repay Your Majesty's heavy kindness! ”

The captain of the guard persuaded: "The prestige of the Metropolitan Governor is far and wide, why bother to make such ominous words, I think the Metropolitan Governor's army will be invincible!" ”

"You don't have to advise me," Murong Shaozong lowered his head and sighed again, "Now that I am old, and the soldiers in the army are no longer as good at fighting as when His Majesty first ascended the throne!" ”

When Gao Yang first ascended the throne, he always personally charged into battle, and he was really invincible, even if he was the governor Gao Yuanhai and Wang Shiluo, who had always been known for their weakness in Northern Qi, they did not have martial arts and were cowardly, but under Gao Yang's command, they won with bravery.

However, from the beginning of the sixth year of Tianbao, Gao Yang defeated the surrounding powers and began to live in Yecheng for a long time, and the quality of the army of the Northern Qi began to decline rapidly.

The night wind began to get stronger, and Murong Shaozong whispered to the captain of the pro-soldier school: "I have always been sensitive in marching and fighting, and I have a hunch that I will not survive this time. You stay in Jeju with a dozen brothers, and when I die in battle, you quickly return to Yecheng's house and take my family out secretly, and Yecheng will definitely be a place of chaos in the future! ”

Stopping the pro-soldier captain who was still talking, Murong Shaozong tightened his clothes: "The moon is so good tonight, call all the generals to come and have a night drink with me!" ”

(In April of 549 (the seventh year of Wuding) of Murong Shaozong, the Eastern Wei Dynasty besieged Yingchuan and decided to build a dam in Weishui to irrigate the city with water.) Soon, Murong Shaozong and Liu Fengsheng took a boat to inspect the embankment, but unexpectedly, a strong wind blew the cable off, and the big ship drifted towards Yingchuan City downwind. Seeing this, the Western Wei army in the city hurriedly used long hooks and hooked boats, and fired 'chaotic' arrows in unison. Murong Shaozong knew that his life was over, so he threw himself into the water and died at the age of forty-nine. ）
