MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-v2 Chapter 1100 Two-pronged approach
Chapter 1100 Two-pronged approach
After the Ningzhou army entered the capital, they were in a state of turmoil. In just one day, when it was getting dark, they had already reached Renyifang!
Renyifang is no longer in the western part of the capital. It is only five or six squares away from the imperial city. As long as you go three more squares to the north, you can encounter Mingdefang Liushufang, and then to the north is Yonglefang.
In other words, the Ningzhou army captured half of the capital in just one day.
Such a gorgeous victory, naturally, there is a price to be paid.
In just one day, the casualties of the Ningzhou Army had exceeded 20,000. At least half of the 20,000 were veterans of the Ningzhou Army in the southwest, not those recruited halfway.
What is even more tragic is that the casualties of the Ningzhou Arms Battalion also exceeded 1,000 people. Those skilled throwers and firearms suffered heavy losses!
The main force of the Ningzhou Army has already suffered more than half of the casualties. Those recruits who have only been recruited for a few months, naturally have no problem using them to build their momentum, but it is very difficult to make them die.
Li Shuo, the chief general of the Ningzhou Army, was commanding operations near Xuanpingfang at this time. The Ningzhou general had red eyes at this time, and was about to order new recruits to replace him. Li Xin, who was also covered in armor, rode away. come over.
Li Xin was not alone, he was accompanied by a tall old man who covered his face with a black cloth.
Seeing Li Xin open, Li Shuo hurriedly greeted him and said, "I have seen the general."
Li Xin frowned and glanced at him, then asked, "How long are you going to fight?"
Li Shuo gritted his teeth and said, "General, Xiurenfang has been taken down by our army. In two hours, we will be able to approach Mingdefang Liushufang, and even Yonglefang..."
Li Xin had lived in the capital for many years. He knew the map and topography of the Eighty-One Square in the capital very well, so the generals of the Southwest Army naturally knew very well.
"and then?"
Li Xin was expressionless: "If you hit Liushufang at most, it will be unsustainable, and now the banned army, including the seriously injured, will lose at most 50,000 or 60,000 people. Tens of thousands of troops, after you hit Liushufang, you want to withdraw, is it possible?"
"You want to send all Ningzhou troops to the capital?"
Li Shuo's face flushed, and he slowly let out a breath: "The last general...don't dare!"
"You are too greedy for merit."
Li Xin was expressionless: "We made a plan before, and it's almost enough to hit Xuanping Square, but you still want to continue to fight until Xiuren Square..."
He snorted: "I passed my order, and now the Ningzhou army will immediately change its formation and withdraw from the capital one after another from the west gate!"
Li Shuo was silent for a long time, then half-kneeled on the ground, bowed to Li Xin and said, "I will obey!"
Li Xin walked up to him and gave him a blank look: "This is the first big mistake you made, and I won't favor you."
Li Shuo knelt on the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes... I will be dereliction of duty at the end."
"General, let's go to arrange a retreat."
After saying that, he got up from the ground in a daze and began to shout for orders.
The Ningzhou army's messenger also sounded the cymbal weapon in the army. The sound of gold and stone suddenly made a big sound, and the entire Ningzhou army began to shift from attacking to shrinking defense.
The tall old man standing behind Li Xin saw this scene, his voice was hoarse and his tone was quite emotional.
"I heard that Brother Li, you are raising the Southwest Army, but I still don't believe it. I think that you are in the capital, and you are most likely to cooperate with the Southwest Army. How can you control the army thousands of miles away? Now it seems that the word "support" , but it was not wrong at all.”
This person is naturally Hou Jingde who was brought into the capital by Li Xin from Ximen.
Li Xin shook his head slightly, looked back at Hou Jingde, and said dumbly, "It's just to use some interests. The world is bustling, and it's all for the benefit of the future. Nothing in the world can be excluded."
Having said that, Li Xin waved his hands behind him, and about forty or fifty men came over. These men were all wearing black clothes and black armor, very similar to Yulinwei's clothes, but they didn't have Yulinwei's. White tiger logo.
This is the person in charge of fighting in Li Xin's Anbu.
These people were wearing black clothes and black armor, but they were all holding a set of cyan military armor. Li Xin handed one of the armors to Hou Jingde, and then said solemnly: "Brother, there is chaos in the capital now. You put on the uniforms of the Imperial Army, there should be no problem in the chaos, these are the capable people around me, and they will smoothly send you to the left camp of the Imperial Army."
Hou Jingde took over this familiar set of forbidden army clothes and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that I, the general of the forbidden army, would have to use a disguise to infiltrate the forbidden army."
Li Xin smiled slightly: "It's very time, bro, be considerate."
After saying this, Li Xin's face became serious, and he asked in a deep voice, "Brother, how long does it take for you to contact the people you should contact?"
Hou Jingde looked up at the sky, then lowered his head and pondered silently for a moment, then said, "I need a day."
"Tomorrow into the night, there will be at least three Zhechong Houses in the Zuoying of the Imperial Army and will not make any move."
After a pause, he continued: "I still don't know what the situation is in the Zuoying. If everything goes well, the entire Imperial Army's Zuoying will not move tomorrow night."
"There will be no action for at least an hour."
"very good."
Li Xin looked serious: "Tomorrow night, it's up to you, brother."
Hou Jingde nodded with a complicated expression, and said with a wry smile: "Today's events are the same as the changes in the Renchen Palace back then. It's just that the person in the palace, from the abolished prince back then, became the son of His Royal Highness King Wei."
Li Xin stretched out his hand and patted Hou Jingde's back, and said slowly, "Brother, our capital today is much bigger than when the Renchen Palace changed."
In the change of the Imchen Palace that year, there was only one Yulinwei and more than 1,000 works of the Ye family in the entire Wei Wangfu group. Luck accounted for at least half of the ingredients.
And now, Li Xin has an army of more than 100,000 troops, and his combat power is not much worse than that of the 200,000 Gyeonggi Forbidden Army.
Hou Jingde didn't say anything more. He tore off his black clothes and put on the clothes of the forbidden army. The Anbu behind Li Xin also changed into the clothes of the forbidden army. Soon, a small team of forbidden army appeared in Li Xin. before.
Hou Jingde clasped his fists at Li Xin, and disappeared into the night with these forty people.
Hou Jingde had been in the Zuoying of the Imperial Army for more than ten years. As long as he was allowed to return to the capital, he would naturally have a way to contact the generals in the Zuoying. As for how to contact them, it was not something Li Xin should worry about.
After Hou Jingde and others left, Li Xin clapped his hands, and a commander of the Anbu appeared in front of Li Xin, bowed his head and said, "I have seen the general."
"I want to send a letter to Zhao Yi and ask him to inform He Xiong to start tomorrow night at You Shi."
This Anbu commander immediately bowed his head: "Subordinates obey!"
Having said that, this person also slowly retreated and went to work.
At this time, the entire Ningzhou army's formation had shifted from offense to defense, and under the cover of firearms, it was slowly shrinking towards Xicheng.
General Li put his hands on his back, looked at the capital that was on fire everywhere, narrowed his eyes slightly, and murmured.
"Tomorrow, He Xiong and Hou Jingde, as long as one person can be trusted..."
"The big thing is done."
