MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-v2 Chapter 1102 night falls

   Chapter 1102 Night falls

  Ningzhou Army suffered heavy losses.

   After fighting all night in the capital, at least 30,000 people of the Ningzhou army died in the capital. Most of the corpses were brought out when they were retreating, and a small number of them were left in the capital and could not be taken care of.

   However, the losses on the capital side were equally heavy. The two battalions of the forbidden army on the left and right, I am afraid that one or two Zhechong Houses were crippled and lost their combat effectiveness.

  The Ningzhou army lost more than 30,000 people, most of whom were elites. The Imperial Guard in Beijing also suffered casualties, about 60,000 or 70,000 people. This battle loss ratio was already impressive enough, but it was still far from enough.

There are more than 200,000 imperial troops in the capital, plus the Hanzhong Army, the Ankang Army, and the three imperial guards directly under the emperor, the capital is probably still able to use 100,000 to 200,000 combat power even if it loses 70,000 people. With the loss of the main force, especially the firearms battalion, the state army may not be able to achieve today's combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

   But this is enough, Li Xin never thought that he would be able to capture the capital from the front.

  When the sky was bright, all the soldiers of the Ningzhou army returned to the Ningzhou army camp, and the forbidden troops in the capital did not chase after them. Instead, under the command of the old general Chong Xuantong, they began to repair the west city gate.

In order to prevent the Xicheng Gate from being blown open again, Chong Xuantong even considered completely sealing the Xicheng Gate, but there are more than a dozen gates in the capital. It is impossible to block all the gates of the capital, so after the generals of the Imperial Army got together to discuss, they gave up this idea.

   They asked the carpenter to repair the west gate urgently, and then found a strong mahogany as a new latch.

  While Hou Jingde and the others were busy, Li Xin, who was in the Ningzhou army camp, had already instructed them to go down. Except for the wounded and the military doctors, everyone else immediately returned to their tents to rest.

   After all, after fighting all day and night, everyone was exhausted. After returning to their tents, they all fell asleep.

Li Xin helped Li Shuo into the military tent, watched the military doctor help him remove the arrow from his back, washed the wound with strong alcohol, and then bandaged the wound. After everything was done, Li Xin helped him up After getting on the bed, he said slowly: "You are injured, so you can rest. Don't ask about the follow-up war."

Because Li Shuo lost a lot of blood, his face was pale at the moment, because his back was injured and he couldn't lie down. At this moment, he was lying on the bed, looked up at Li Xin, and smiled bitterly: "Brother, Ningzhou army can still do more. war…"

   Li Xin was expressionless.

"You are a little more restrained today, don't be so impatient, the Ningzhou army can naturally fight again, but today, you beat the 2,000-strong firearms battalion of the Ningzhou army to only 500 people, and you brought it out from the southwest. More than half of the people in the gang died, how can the Ningzhou army fight again?"

   "Rely on those recruits to carry knives to fight against the Imperial Army?"

   Li Shuo's face was pale, he was silent for a while, and then said, "Brother, what do you mean, let the Hanzhou army take over the battle below?"

   General Li was expressionless: "Next, I will lead the troops myself."

   "Whether it's the Ningzhou Army or the Hanzhou Army, it's the Southwest Army, and I personally command it."

   After saying that, Li Xin glanced at Li Shuo, and his expression softened a little: "I have nothing to do with you now. I will rest and recuperate. When you recover, I will take you to Qinhuai River for a drink for my brother."

   After saying this, Li Xin opened the tent, turned around and walked out.

   Li Shuo, who was lying on the bed, was stunned for a long time after hearing Li Xin's words before he could react.

Over the years, he has been calling Li Xin his brother, but because Li Xin hates Li Shen, he has never directly acknowledged the brotherhood between the two, and he has never called himself a brother. More than ten years have passed, and Li Xin is still It was the first time that he called himself "brother" in front of him.

   Li Shuo glanced at the direction Li Xin was leaving, then lowered his head and lay down on the bed.

  No matter what, Li Xin finally recognized his brother, and at this moment.

  If the Southwest Army can successfully enter Beijing, the Li family may become the royal family. At that time, this brotherhood will become the most important wealth of Li Shuo's life!

   This Ningzhou General was lying on the bed, enduring the severe pain on his back, muttering to himself.

   "It's worth it."

  …………

After Li Xin left Li Shuo's tent, he returned to his handsome tent. Mu Ying had been waiting in the handsome tent for a long time. After seeing Li Xin approaching, Mu Ying hurriedly greeted him and bowed his head to Li Xin: " General."

  Li Xin nodded and looked at Mu Ying: "Brother Mu's Hanzhou army, can we fight?"

"sure."

   Mu Ying patted her chest and said with a smile: "Ningzhou army is beautiful today, but if I hand it over to Hanzhou army to fight, it will not be inferior to them!"

"Well."

  Li Xin squinted his eyes slightly and said, "You transfer all the Hanzhou Army, especially the firearms battalion of the Hanzhou Army, all of them. Tonight, I will attack the capital again."

"tonight?"

   Muying was stunned for a while, then lowered her head and said, "General, are you sure it's tonight?"

The   Hanzhou Army was not on the front line. At this time, most of them were stationed near Luzhou. Naturally, there was no major problem in being transferred within a day, but it was a bit too hasty.

   Li Xin glanced at him and said calmly, "What's the problem?"

"no problem."

  Mu Ying patted her chest quickly and said, "Tonight the Hanzhou army will all arrive in the capital!"

Li Xin looked at Mu Ying, and then a smile appeared on his face: "The Ningzhou army made great efforts during the day, and the Ningzhou army should have come to fight tonight, but Li Shuo was so greedy that the main force of the Ningzhou army was lost. Too much damage."

   "Brother Mu, you are lucky."

   Li Xin reached out and patted him on the shoulder, then said with a smile, "You will pick such a big peach."

   Mu Ying heard the meaning of Li Xin's words, and was immediately excited. He looked at Li Xin and swallowed: "What the general means is, tonight we..."

   Li Xin smiled mysteriously: "It can only be said that there is a chance."

Having said this, Li Xin paused and continued: "But there is one thing we have to say in advance, the Ningzhou army has made great efforts, and people have died. It is impossible to kick the Ningzhou army out of the bureau. Brother, you bring the Hanzhou army, and I will personally lead the Ningzhou army."

   "If it's done, half of the credit will be given to each."

   "Of course."

   Mu Ying's face was serious.

   "The Ningzhou army is so brave today, and the final commander is also impressed. Tonight is the main attack of the Ningzhou army. I Hanzhou army do my best to cooperate with the Ningzhou army."

   "Everything is under the command of the general."

   "Forget it, you and my brother, you don't need to talk about these scenes."

   Li Xin hadn't slept all night, and was a little sleepy at the moment. He yawned and said, "Brother Mu, go and send troops. I'm a little sleepy, so I need to sleep for a while."

   "After I wake up, let's talk about specific tactics."

  Mu Ying immediately lowered her head and said respectfully, "I will obey the order at the end."

   "Don't disturb the general's rest, the last general is going to transfer troops."

   Having said that, Mu Ying turned around and left the handsome tent, and began to give orders to the Hanzhou army.

   Li Xin, who was in the handsome tent, was drowsy. After yawning a few times, he turned to his bed, slowly closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep.

   When he woke up, the sun had already set in the west.

  Night is coming.
