The Ningzhou army suffered heavy losses.

After fighting all night in the capital, at least more than 30,000 people of the Ningzhou army died in the capital, most of the corpses were brought out when they retreated, and a small part remained in the capital and could not be taken care of.

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

The Ningzhou army lost more than 30,000 people, most of them were elites, and the Beijing Forbidden Army also suffered casualties, about 60,000 or 70,000 people, which was already proud enough, but it was still far from enough.

There are more than 200,000 forbidden troops in the capital, plus the Hanzhong Army, the Ankang Army and the three guards directly under the Son of Heaven, the capital may still be able to come up with 120,000 combat strength in the case of losing 70,000 people, but the Ningzhou Army will not be able to fight today's combat effectiveness in a short period of time if it loses the main force, especially the firearms battalion.

But this was enough, and Li Xin didn't think that he could capture the capital head-on.

When the sky was dark, all the officers and soldiers of the Ningzhou Army returned to the camp of the Ningzhou Army, and the forbidden army in the capital did not chase them out, but began to repair the West City Gate under the command of the old general Chong Xuantong.

In order to prevent the West City Gate from being blown open again, Chong Xuantong even considered completely sealing the West City Gate, but there were more than a dozen city gates in the capital, and after sealing the West City Gate, the Ningzhou Army could still enter Beijing from other gates, and all the city gates in the capital could not be blocked, so the generals of the forbidden army gave up this idea after getting together to discuss.

They had the carpenters urgently repair the West Gate, and then found a sturdy piece of mahogany to use as a new latch.

Just when Hou Jingde and the others were busy, Li Xin, who was in the Ningzhou military camp, had already ordered to go down, except for the wounded and military doctors, the others immediately returned to their camp tents to rest.

After all, after a day and a night, everyone was tired, and after each returned to the camp, they all fell asleep.

Li Xin helped Li Shuo into the military tent, watched the military doctor help him pull out the arrows on his back, and then cleaned the wound with strong wine and bandaged the medicine, and after everything was done, Li Xin helped him onto the bed and said slowly: "You are injured, so you can rest alive, and don't ask about the follow-up war." ”

Li Shuo lost a lot of blood, his face was a little pale at this time, because he was injured in the back, he couldn't lie down, at this time he lay on the bed, looked up at Li Xin, and said with a wry smile: "Brother, the Ningzhou army can fight again......

Li Xin's face was expressionless.

"You are a little more restrained today, don't be so impatient, the Ningzhou army can naturally fight again, but one day today, you beat the firearms battalion of the Ningzhou army of 2,000 people to only 500 people, and those people you brought out from the southwest are also more than half dead, how can the Ningzhou army fight again?"

"Do you rely on those recruits to carry knives and fight the forbidden army?"

Li Shuo's face was pale, he was silent for a while, and then spoke: "Brother means, let the Hanzhou army take over the war below?" ”

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

"Whether it is the Ningzhou Army or the Hanzhou Army, they are both the Southwest Army, and I personally command them."

As he spoke, Li Xin glanced at Li Shuo, and his face softened slightly: "There is nothing for you to do next, so you can recuperate and recuperate, and when you have recovered your body, I will take you to Qinhuai River for my brother to drink." ”

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 reacted.

Over the years, he has always called Li Xin his brother, but Li Xin has not directly admitted the brotherly relationship between the two because of his dislike of Li Shen, and has never called himself a brother.

Li Shuo glanced at the direction in which Li Xin left, then lowered his head and honestly lay on the bed.

No matter what, Li Xin finally recognized his brother, and it was at this juncture.

If the Southwest Army can successfully enter Beijing, the Li family may become a royal family, and this brotherhood will become the most important wealth in Li Shuo's life!

The Ningzhou general lay on the bed, endured the sharp pain on his back, and muttered to himself.

"It's worth it."

………………

After Li Xin got out of Li Shuo's tent, he returned to his handsome tent, Mu Ying had been waiting in the tent for a long time, and after seeing Li Xin coming over, Mu Ying hurriedly greeted him and bowed to Li Xin: "General." ”

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

"Absolutely."

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

"That's good."

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

"Today...... At night? ”

Mu Ying was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "General, are you sure it's tonight?" ”

The Hanzhou army was not on the front line, and most of them were stationed near Luzhou at this time, so it was naturally not a big problem to transfer it within a day, but it was a little too hasty.

Li Xin glanced at him and said in a calm tone: "What's the problem?" ”

"No problem."

Mu Ying hurriedly patted her chest 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 fought tonight, but Li Shuo was greedy and reckless, so that the main force of the Ningzhou army suffered too much loss." ”

"Brother Mu, you are lucky."

Li Xin stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Such a big peach is going to be picked by you." ”

Mu Ying heard the meaning of Li Xin's words, and immediately became excited, he looked at Li Xin, and swallowed his saliva: "What the general means is that we ...... tonight"

Li Xin smiled mysteriously: "I can only say that there is a chance." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused and continued: "But there is one thing we have to say in advance, the Ningzhou army has made efforts, and there are also dead people, it is impossible to kick the Ningzhou army out of the bureau, tonight Brother Mu, you take the Hanzhou army, and I will personally lead the Ningzhou army." ”

"If it is done, everyone will have half the credit."

"Of course."

Mu Ying's face was serious.

"The Ningzhou army is so brave today, the last general also admires it, tonight is the main attack of the Ningzhou army, and my Hanzhou army is trying its best to cooperate with the Ningzhou army."

"Everything is under the command of the general."

"That's it, you and my brother, there's no need to say these things."

Li Xin hadn't slept all night, and he was a little sleepy at this time, he yawned and said, "Brother Mu, go and transfer troops, I'm a little sleepy, I want to sleep for a while." ”

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

Mu Ying immediately bowed her head and said respectfully: "The last general will obey the order." ”

"Don't disturb the general's rest, the last general will go to transfer troops."

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

And Li Xin, who was in the handsome tent, was sleepy, and after yawning a few times, he turned around and went to his bed, slowly closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.

By the time he woke up, the sun was already setting in the west.

Night is coming.
