MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-v2 Chapter 1101 day by day

   Chapter 1101 Live like a year

The Ningzhou army was like a sharp sword. In one day and half an night, they hit Renyifang, which is almost located in the north of the city. This was a very amazing record, but at the same time, this record also brought their retreat. trouble.

At the beginning, the Imperial Guard was a little afraid of the edge of the Ningzhou Army, and was still a little confused when facing the Ningzhou Army who suddenly retreated. The chief general, Chong Xuantong, saw at a glance the Achilles heel of the Ningzhou army.

  The Ningzhou Army... The strength is no longer available.

Originally, when the Ningzhou army went out to Shu, there were only 40,000 people. Although many recruits were recruited along the way, the recruits could not be used much. At present, the casualties of the main force of the Ningzhou army are estimated to have exceeded half, and the firearms have also been used up. Otherwise, these rebels who clearly have the ability to hit the imperial city have no reason to withdraw suddenly.

  Chong Xuantong's eyes were solemn, he only thought about it for a moment, and then gave the order decisively.

   "The traitors are no longer sustainable. If they fight again, they will all die in the city!"

   "You can't just let them out of the city, let them out, they can make a comeback after resting for a few days!"

The old general    said in a low voice, "The crossbowmen are chasing after them. Don't be afraid of the rebels' firearms. They are shrinking with all their strength at this time, and they won't turn back on a large scale to counterattack!"

   "You must never let them come and go."

  The Great General took a deep breath.

   "Chase up, chase up!"

  The military quality of the soldiers of the Imperial Army is not low. Although the large number of casualties day and night caused their morale to be low, when the commander issued the order, there were still two soldiers from Zhechongfu who were ordered to chase after them.

  Because of the thunder, they did not dare to get too close to the Ningzhou army. They only dared to follow the Ningzhou army at a distance of dozens of steps, shooting with bows and crossbows, disrupting the rhythm of the Ningzhou army's retreat.

As long as the army retreats, it is absolutely impossible to withdraw all at once, because if the enemy follows up, the formation behind will be chaotic, and the entire formation will be chaotic. Nature is no exception.

The Ningzhou Army left behind a force of about 10,000 troops. Among the 10,000 people, only the generals were from the Ningzhou Army from the southwest. Except for some firearms battalions, most of the soldiers were recruited along the way. The one leading behind the ten thousand people was Li Shuo, the commander of the Ningzhou Army.

  Li Shuo personally commanded the rear of these people.

   Twenty or thirty throwers are responsible for throwing thunderbolts as far back as possible to block the enemy's pursuit.

   At the same time, there are also bowmen shooting backwards to block the enemy's attack.

In this way, although the forbidden army was chasing, the Southwest Army was still retreating to Xicheng District in an orderly manner. After more than an hour of delay, Chong Xuantong also lost his temper and ordered the forbidden army to stick to the Ningzhou army to prevent Ningzhou. All the state troops escaped!

   This time, it is not a matter of the two sides shooting each other.

   The two Zhechong houses were not reorganized, and together there were only more than 20,000 people. More than 20,000 people quickly posted them and bit the Ningzhou Army team in charge of the rear of the palace.

In the dark of the night, the efficiency of the bow and crossbow was originally poor. After the two sides got close, the bow and crossbow were almost completely useless. Li Shuo also simply drew the knife in his hand, and shouted to the people around him, "Shrink your head at this time. One step is a dead word, fight with them, and there is a chance to survive!"

   "Welcome!"

  The other generals of the Ningzhou army saw that their chief generals had rushed into the formation in person, and they had no reason to persuade them any more.

   This is the reason why Li Shuo stayed behind.

  The "main force" of the Ningzhou army suffered heavy casualties, and they could not leave too many people behind, and the recruits of the Ningzhou army were likely to be defeated by the enemy in a single blow, affecting the retreat of the Ningzhou army.

   In this case, he, the Ningzhou general, can only stay and inspire people.

But it is a pity that this is Xuanping Square. There are still more than five squares away from Xichengmen. The soldiers of the Imperial Army are definitely not comparable to those of the Xiang Army. Recruits, it is difficult to fight against the forbidden army.

   In other words, most of the 10,000-odd Ningzhou Army recruits in charge of the rear of the palace will die in the capital.

   Of course, Li Shuo himself will not die of course. There are dozens of personal guards around him. As long as the situation is not right, he can easily withdraw to the rear without any danger to his life.

   This battle was fought from the morning until the early morning of the next day.

   When the sky was about to light up the next day, Li Shuo, whose face was covered in blood, led more than a thousand soldiers and fled the capital in embarrassment.

   At this time, the main force of the Ningzhou Army had all withdrawn from the capital. Li Xin personally led 5,000 people outside the city to respond. After seeing Li Shuo, Li Xin personally led people to greet him.

  Li Shuo had been commanding in the city for a day and fought for almost the whole night. By now, he was exhausted to the extreme. After seeing Li Xin, his body softened and he almost collapsed to the ground.

  Li Xin supported him with one hand and frowned, "Is the injury serious?"

  Li Shuo shook his head silently, his voice hoarse: "There are two minor injuries on the back."

   Li Xin looked at his back and saw two feathered arrows stuck on his back, almost half an inch into the flesh, so there was no danger to his life.

   Li Shuo was the general of Ningzhou. He wore iron armor of the eight classics. Feather arrows capable of penetrating iron armor were usually made by a strong bow of four or five stones.

   If you were an ordinary soldier, you would probably die after eating these two arrows.

   Li Xin held his shoulders and frowned: "How do you fight, it's similar to Ye Mao."

   "You don't have his physique. After a few more tossing, you won't live to be forty years old."

   Li Shuo gave a wry smile, and his voice was hoarse: "I was the one who rushed forward because of my greed, and I always tried my best to ensure that the remaining soldiers were evacuated safely."

   General Li supported him, looked up at the sky, and his tone was a bit complicated: "I will continue to work tonight. You have suffered such a serious injury, how can you command the Ningzhou army?"

  Li Shuo took a deep breath, endured the pain in his back, and gritted his teeth: "The last commander's body is injured, but his mouth is not injured, so he can still command."

  Li Xin didn't speak any more, just silently supported the cheap brother and returned to the Ningzhou army camp.

   At the same time, in the Weiyang Palace of the Imperial City.

   A young prisoner of Tianmu prison stumbled into the Weiyang Palace, knelt on the ground with excitement, and kowtowed.

   "Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"

   Emperor Yuanzhao was expressionless, sitting in his seat with a calm tone: "Why, the traitor has entered the imperial city?"

   In fact, at this time, he already knew the news that the Ningzhou army had begun to retreat, but he heard too much bad news this night, and he was already a little nervous.

   This Tianmu young supervisor knelt on the ground, gasping for breath. After a long time, he reluctantly said a word of verification.

   "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

   "The traitor has been defeated by the Imperial Army, and fled the capital in embarrassment!"

   "There are at least 40,000 rebels who died in the capital, and most of them are the main force of rebels!"

   Hearing this news, Emperor Yuan Zhao, who was sitting upright, suddenly collapsed.

   This night, he hardly slept his eyes, and his nerves were tense all the time.

  The real "live like a year".

   Now, it's finally over.

   Emperor Yuanzhao almost collapsed on the dragon couch, his back was soaked with cold sweat.
