After the Ningzhou army entered the capital, it was like a bamboo, and in just one day, when it was almost dark, they had already hit Renyifang!

Renyi Fang is no longer the west city of the capital, it is only five or six squares away from the imperial city, as long as it is three more squares to the north, you can meet Mingde Fang Willow Fang, and then north is Yongle Fang.

In other words, it took only one day for the Ningzhou army to capture half of the capital.

Such a gorgeous result naturally has to pay the price it deserves.

In just one day, the casualties of the Ningzhou Army have exceeded 20,000, and at least more than half of the 20,000 people are veterans of the Nanzhou Army in Western China, not those recruits who are recruited halfway.

What's even more tragic is that the casualties of the Ningzhou Firearms Battalion also exceeded 1,000 people, and those skilled grenadiers and firecrackers suffered heavy losses!

The main force of the Ningzhou Army has already suffered more than half of the casualties, and those recruits who have only been recruited for a few months are naturally no problem with strengthening their momentum, but it is very difficult to make them die.

Li Shuo, who is the chief general of the Ningzhou army, is commanding the battle near Xuanpingfang at this time, the Ningzhou general is already a little red-eyed at this time, and is about to command the recruits to replace him, Li Xin, who is also covered with armor, rushed over on horseback.

Li Xin was not alone, he was accompanied by a tall old man with a black cloth covering his face.

Seeing Li Xin open, Li Shuo hurriedly greeted him and said, "I've seen the general." ”

Li Xin frowned and glanced at him, and asked, "How long are you going to fight?" ”

Li Shuo gritted his teeth and said: "General, Xiurenfang has been taken down by our army, and in two hours, you can approach Mingde Fang, Liushufang, or even Yongle Fang......"

Li Xin had lived in the capital for many years, and he knew the map and terrain of the 81 squares of the capital very well, so the generals of the Southwest Army naturally knew it very well.

"And then?"

Li Xin's face was expressionless: "If you hit Liushufang at most, you will be unable to continue, and the forbidden army is now, counting the seriously injured, it will lose fifty or sixty thousand people at most, they still have more than 100,000 troops in the capital, after you hit Liushufang, and then you want to withdraw, is it possible?" ”

"Do you want to send all the Ningzhou Army to the capital?"

Li Shuo's face turned red, and he slowly exhaled: "The last general...... Can't! ”

"You're too greedy."

Li Xin's face was expressionless: "We have made a plan before, and it will be almost okay to fight Xuanpingfang, but until we reach Xiurenfang, you still want to continue fighting......"

He snorted: "Pass my general order, now the Ningzhou army immediately changed its formation and withdrew from the capital from the west gate one after another!" ”

Li Shuo was silent for a long time, then half-knelt on the ground, bowed to Li Xin and said, "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Li Xin walked up to him and looked at him expressionlessly: "This is the first big mistake you made, I won't favor you." ”

Li Shuo knelt on the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes...... The last will be derelict in his duties. ”

"General, let's go and arrange a retreat."

With that, he got up from the ground in a daze and began to shout loudly.

The heralds of the Ningzhou army also sounded the cymbals in the army, and the sound of gold and stone suddenly became loud, and the entire Ningzhou army began to shift from attack to shrink defense.

The tall old man standing behind Li Xin, after seeing this scene, his voice was hoarse, and his tone was quite emotional.

"In the past, I heard that Brother Li raised the Southwest Army, but Brother Wei still didn't believe it, thinking that you were in the capital, at most cooperating with the Southwest Army, how could you remotely control the army thousands of miles away, but now it seems that the word "support" is not wrong at all. ”

This person is naturally Hou Jingde, who was brought into the capital by Li Xin from the West Gate.

Li Xin shook his head slightly, looked back at Hou Jingde, and said dumbly: "It's just some interests, the world is bustling, all for profit, and there is no exception to the things in the world." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin beckoned behind him, and about forty or fifty men walked over, all of them were wearing black clothes and black armor, very similar to Yu Linwei's uniform, but there was no Yu Linwei's white tiger logo.

This is the person in Li Xin's dark department, who is in charge of fighting.

These people were wearing black clothes and black armor, but they were all holding a set of cyan forbidden army armor in their hands, Li Xin handed one of the sets of armor to Hou Jingde's hand, and then said in a deep voice: "Brother, now there is chaos in the capital, you change into the uniform of the forbidden army, there should be no problem in the chaos, these are the capable people around me, they will smoothly send you to the location of the left camp of the forbidden army." ”

Hou Jingde took this set of familiar forbidden army clothes and smiled slightly bitterly: "I didn't expect that I, the general of the forbidden army, would have to use a disguise to blend into the forbidden army." ”

Li Xin smiled slightly: "Very momentary, brother, you are considerate." ”

After saying this, Li Xin's face became serious, and he asked in a deep voice: "Brother, how long will it take you to contact those people who should be contacted?" ”

Hou Jingde looked up at the sky, then lowered his head and pondered silently for a moment, and said, "I need a day." ”

"Tomorrow night, there will be at least three Zhichong Mansion in the left battalion of the forbidden army, and there will be no action."

After a pause, he continued: "I still don't know what the situation of the left battalion is, if it goes well, the entire left battalion of the forbidden army will not make any moves tomorrow night. ”

"There won't be any movement for at least an hour."

"Good."

Li Xin's face was serious: "Tomorrow evening, it's up to you, brother." ”

Hou Jingde nodded with a complicated face, and said with a wry smile: "Today's events are just like the changes in Renchen Palace back then, but the person in the palace has become the son of His Royal Highness King Wei from the abolished prince back then." ”

Li Xin stretched out his hand and patted Hou Jingde's back, and slowly spoke: "Old brother, our capital today is much greater than when Renchen Palace changed. ”

At that time, the Renchen Palace changed, and the entire Wei Wangfu Group only had more than a thousand parts of Yu Linwei and the Ye family, and luck accounted for at least half of the reason for its success.

And now Li Xin, sitting on an army of more than 100,000, is not much worse than the 200,000 Gyeonggi Forbidden Army.

Hou Jingde didn't say anything more, he tore off the black clothes on his body and changed into the clothes of the forbidden army, and the dark department behind Li Xin also changed into the clothes of the forbidden army, and soon, a small team of forbidden soldiers appeared in front of Li Xin.

Hou Jingde hugged his fist at Li Xin, and then disappeared into the night with more than 40 people.

Hou Jingde has been in the left camp of the forbidden army for more than ten years, as long as he is allowed to return to the capital, he will naturally have a way to contact those generals in the left camp, as for how to contact, it is not something that Li Xin should worry about.

After Hou Jingde and the others left, Li Xin clapped his hands, and a dark leader appeared in front of Li Xin, bowed his head and said, "I've seen the general." ”

"I want to send a message to Zhao Yi and ask him to inform He Xiang to do it tomorrow evening."

The commander of this dark department immediately bowed his head: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

With that, the man slowly retreated and went to do his errands.

At this time, the entire Ningzhou Army's position had shifted from offensive to defensive, and under the cover of firearms, it slowly shrank towards Xicheng.

General Li put his hands behind his back and looked at the capital city that was on fire everywhere, squinting his eyes slightly and muttering.

"Tomorrow, He Xiang and Hou Jingde, as long as one of them can be relied on......"

"And the big thing will happen."
