   Chapter 1065 Exchange Experience

   Ye Lin only stayed in Gaocheng for one night, and left the next day. Li Xin did not embarrass him and sent someone to send him back to the capital.

This "negotiation" did not bring any substantial progress. The day after Ye Lin returned to Beijing, Mu Ying launched a violent attack on Luzhou City. Dozens of catapults threw thunder and exploded. Almost no one can stand in the city of Luzhou.

However, at this time, the imperial army had already learned the lessons of Xiangyang City. Even though there were thunderstorms, there were always people on Luzhou City. Their strategy was that there were always people guarding the city walls, but they were very scattered. The lethality of Tianlei has been greatly reduced. At the same time, once someone is injured and killed, someone will soon add to it, which has led to a sudden drop in the efficiency of Tianlei, and the process is far less smooth than the attack on Xiangyang.

Fortunately, there were not too many defenders in Luzhou City, and the Southwest Army was well prepared with firearms. At the same time as the court's experience in dealing with firearms increased, Mu Ying and other Southwest Army generals also gradually gained more experience in using firearms. After a whole day of indiscriminate bombing, Mu Ying ordered the most elite guards around him to rush up to the tower of Luzhou City with a ladder. On the tower, they began to throw ordinary thunder.

However, the attitude of the defenders of Luzhou to defend the city was quite firm. The southwest army sent troops to the tower continuously, and the people from the imperial court also sent troops to the tower. The two sides fought fiercely on the tower for about an hour. The army was able to completely seize the city wall of Luzhou City, opened the city gate of Luzhou, and the army advanced to Luzhou.

   This is just the beginning of the Battle of Luzhou.

Most of the mystery of firearms has been uncovered. The generals of the imperial court no longer regard it as a fetish, and a huge imperial court naturally cannot be all stupid. Some smarter generals have already figured out how to deal with Tianlei. The countermeasures, although not all effective, still caused a lot of trouble for Mu Ying.

After entering the city, relying on a large number of Tianlei reserves and the increasingly mature fire guns, Mu Ying's department was able to quickly advance in Luzhou City, but even so, it took almost four or five days to bring the imperial court to the ground. The defenders drove out of Luzhou, and it was very difficult to eat the city of Luzhou.

After    Luzhou was conquered, this once prosperous city has been scorched all over the place.

   After Mu Ying captured Luzhou, Li Xin rushed to the front line of Luzhou from Gaocheng of the Central Army. In the wounded barracks in Luzhou City, he saw Muying who was visiting the wounded soldiers.

   Muying was not injured much, but this time the Southwest Army sieged the city, the price paid was not small, and the wounded soldiers were much more than in any previous battle, even far more than the battle of Xiangyang.

   After seeing Li Xin, Mu Ying stood up and bowed her head deeply to Li Xin: "The last general has seen the general."

   He has a cheerful personality, and he has a good personal relationship with Li Xin. When he met Li Xin before, he always had a smile on his face, but this time, General Mu had a serious face and was obviously in a bad mood.

   Li Xin, who was dressed in blue, first looked left and right in the wounded barracks, and then asked, "How many casualties?"

Mu Ying nodded and said with a wry smile: "The exact number has not yet been counted, but a preliminary estimate is that there are probably seven or eight thousand people killed in the battle, plus the serious injuries, the loss of combat power this time will be more than 10,000. ."

   Long before Ye Lin met Li Xin, Mu Ying started to attack Luzhou City. The Southwest Army attacked Luzhou three times before and after, and it took five or six days for the last time to attack Luzhou.

   The difficulty of this battle is already the most difficult battle since the Southwest Army moved out of Shu.

  Li Xin nodded silently and said, "How about the casualties at the court?"

   "At least two or three times our size, only more, not less than this number."

Mu Ying said solemnly: "The imperial court has sent reinforcements to Luzhou more than once. Together, the number of defenders in Luzhou City is estimated to be 80,000 to 90,000 people. When all the generals finally captured Luzhou, they escaped. There are only more than 30,000 people, and many people were injured and became prisoners of our army."

   To be honest, although this ratio of battle damage is still exaggerated, it is no longer as terrible as the battle of Xiangyang City, which means that the ability of the court to deal with firearms is gradually increasing.

   This is a normal thing. No one is a fool in this world. Even if the technical gap between the two sides is too big, after getting to know each other, the gap will gradually narrow.

Fortunately, Li Xin is under the banner of the Prince of Great Jin, and the Southwest Army is strictly prohibited from disturbing the people along the way. Otherwise, once the Southwest Army loses its heart, it will stand on the opposite side of all the people of Great Jin. This technical advantage of the Southwest Army can support two or three at most. Years, it will be cleaned up by the court.

   Li Xin and Mu Ying looked at the wounded barracks together and found that most of the wounded soldiers were seriously injured soldiers, and there were many lightly wounded soldiers in the Hanzhou army of Muying, who could only recover slowly by themselves.

After reading, Li Xin and Mu Ying walked out of the wounded barracks, and the two walked on the street of Luzhou City. General Li said slowly, "I said early on that Tianlei is not a panacea, this thing is used for To act as a deterrent, of course, is all-purpose, but it will become more and more difficult to fight with others, and the battle of Luzhou can be fought like this, it is already very remarkable, Brother Mu doesn't need to think too much."

  Mu Ying nodded and smiled bitterly: "It's not that I thought too much, but after the fight, I thought about it carefully. If my mind could be more active at that time, my Southwest Army soldiers might be able to kill a few fewer people."

  Li Xin shook his head and asked, "How many soldiers are there in the Hanzhou army under Brother Mu's tent?"

Mu Ying brought 50,000 Hanzhou troops out of Shu from the southwest, and after Hanzhong Ankang was captured, the more than 1,000 miles from Hanzhong to Luzhou were all captured by Mu Ying with these 50,000 Hanzhou troops, although all the way Pretty smooth, but there will be losses more or less.

  Mu Ying bowed his head and said, "Returning to the general, except for those who were seriously injured, the Hanzhou army still has 30,000 combat strength, and can charge for the general at any time!"

   "Thirty thousand..."

Li Xin squinted his eyes slightly and said, "Brother Mu took 50,000 Hanzhou troops all the way from Hanzhong to Luzhou, which is already very difficult. According to my opinion, the Hanzhou army will take a break in Luzhou. Let’s rest for a while, and secondly, we will use Luzhou as our stronghold after coming here. The Hanzhou army will defend Luzhou and leave a fortress that can be advanced and retreated for our southwestern army, what does Brother Mu think?”

   Speaking of which, Mu Ying naturally couldn't say more, he said silently: "The last general will naturally obey the arrangement of the general!"

  Li Xin reached out and patted Mu Ying on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Mu, don't worry, I'm not asking Li Shuo to come out to pick the fruit, we won't be able to take the capital so easily."

   Mu Ying bowed her head and said, "The last general naturally believes in the general."

Li Xin closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then said, "Also, Brother Mu has come all the way from Hanzhong and has accumulated a lot of experience in using firearms. I hope Brother Mu can bring some generals from the Hanzhou Arms Battalion with him. Li Shuo's Ningzhou army contacted and taught them some methods of using firearms, does Brother Mu agree?"

  Mu Ying bowed his head respectfully: "There is no problem with this, of course, the commander will let the commander of the firearms battalion report to General Li tomorrow."
