The people charged forward were all soldiers from the Imperial Guard's Left Camp, and they were subordinates who had been led by Hou Jingde for more than ten years. After Hou Jingde gave the order, these people fought without hesitation.

However, Li Shuo was prepared for the unique throwing troops of the Southwest Army, constantly throwing thunder into the imperial guard formation. At the same time, Li Shuo had already arranged a crossbow and firepower was fully opened to vent his firepower towards the imperial guard position.

The road was more than a mile without any barriers, and the imperial guards were blown up by dozens or hundreds, or even more thunders.

Fortunately, the left camp of the Imperial Guards were all old imperial guards, with high military quality. Although there were heavy casualties, when Hou Jingde did not order a retreat, these people still gritted their teeth and rushed forward. The veteran general Hou Jingde took the lead and rushed into the first formation.

He knew very well that he had been ambushed by the Southwest Army, but at this time he could not retreat. He gritted his teeth and rushed forward, and there might be a glimmer of hope. At this time, he would admit defeat and retreat, and he would definitely be chased by the Southwest Army's tail. At that time, under the pursuit of firearms and crossbows, there would probably not be many of the two Zhechong Mansions he brought with him.

At this time, there was only one move to disperse the Southwest Army camp, and then find a way to retreat from the flank, and never turn around on the spot.

From beginning to end, Li Shuo kept watching coldly.

Wars with firearms are much crueler than wars with cold weapons. When many imperial guards fell to the ground, they had already become bloody people all over their bodies.

In this way, the two Zhechong Mansions of the Imperial Guards, with the firepower of the Southwest Army, rushed to the Southwest Army formation and were about to face the close contact with the Southwest Army.

However, they did not pay the price. Only six or seven out of ten were able to rush over the two soldiers from Zhechong Mansion, and most of them were intimidated by the power of the firearms. They were a little timid. Seeing the enemy rushing over, Li Shuo was not panicked. He pulled out a long shaky sword from his waist, put on the helmet of the Southwest Army, and rushed over first.

"Brothers, the enemy's formation has been scattered. At this time, killing us, we are full of military achievements in front of us!"

"The future is coming!"

"Kill me!"

With more than ten thousand people, it is impossible to kill all the enemies with just a firearm. In fact, the enemy's formation can be disrupted, which has achieved tactical purpose. Li Shuo drew his sword in his hand, looked fierce, and rushed towards the enemy with his own guard!

The number of imperial guards was inferior to that of Li Shuo's troops. He was killed so many by firearms along the way. As soon as he fought, his momentum became weaker. The two sides fought each other for about an hour. Li Shuo, covered in blood, cut over a court soldier who was fighting against the flag, and cut off the flagpole with another knife. The black flag with the imperial guards embroidered on it fell down. Li Shuo's eyes were excited and he raised his arms and shouted loudly.

"The imperial guard flag has fallen, the enemy has been defeated, kill me!"

"The imperial guard flag fell!"

After hearing this, all the Southwest Army were shocked and felt that they had more strength on their bodies, and many people shouted loudly.

"The imperial guard flag fell!"

For a moment, this sentence spread throughout the battlefield. When the imperial guards heard this sentence, they looked around and could not see their own flags. They couldn't help but feel panic and had the idea of ​​running away.

The situation on the battlefield immediately turned to the Southwest Army!

Li Shuo carried a knife and killed four or five people, and he was a little exhausted. He was just an ordinary person. Although he had been practicing martial arts in the army when he was a young man and had not put aside the military tactics he passed down from the Li family for so many years, after all, not everyone was a natural fierce general like the Ye family. Li Shuo could only be considered an ordinary general. After fighting for an hour, he was a little tired. So the Ningzhou general retreated more than ten steps under the protection of his personal guards and retreated into his own formation. He shouted angrily: "Brothers, don't let these people go, fight a beautiful battle for the general to see the power of our Ningzhou army!"

There were shouts of killing on the battlefield, but Li Shuo was no longer able to fight again. Under the escort of several personal guards, he retreated back to his tent and began to command his soldiers to put out the fire.

In fact, the situation on the battlefield is now very clear, and the court is retreating step by step. The remaining thing to strive for is how many people from the court can be left behind.

Li Shuo returned to his tent, closed his eyes and took a nap for a while, quickly opened his eyes, and continued to command the frontline soldiers.

The sky gradually brightened.

The two sides fought head-on from Chou Shi for two or three hours. When the sun rose completely, only a group of imperial guards were left on the court who were chased by the Southwest Army and fled back to the capital in a panic.

After these imperial guards fled to a distance of 34 miles near the capital, Li Shuo ordered not to chase them, and then the Southwest Army began to clean up the battlefield.

About afternoon, the Ningzhou Army had roughly counted the results of the battle. The deputy general of the Ningzhou Army came to Li Shuo's tent and lowered his head and fisted: "General Li, the soldiers of the court last night were the two Zhechong Mansions of their Imperial Guards at the Left Camp. There were more than 28,000 people in total, and only five or six thousand escaped. The rest were killed by our army about 13,400,000, and thousands were seriously injured. The rest were captured by the brothers."

This deputy general, also the military general of the year, won the imperial court at this time, and was very happy. He smiled and said, "According to the general's orders, these prisoners and brothers have not touched them and have all been resettled. General, do you think, should you send someone to Luzhou?"

"After cleaning up the specific number, send it to Luzhou together."

Li Shuo frowned and asked, "How are our army's casualties?"

The deputy general smiled and said, "Our army was killed in battle, and two or three thousand were seriously injured."

To be honest, this number is not very good-looking. After all, the Southwest Army was ambushing and attacking first, and used a large number of firearms. However, Li Shuo was already quite satisfied. He nodded and said, "After counting a specific number, send it to me and transfer it to the general."

"I will obey the order!"

Just as the deputy general was about to leave, Li Shuo suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, have you asked, who was the general led by the imperial guards last night?"

The deputy general stopped and turned around and clasped his fists at Li Shuo.

"If the general doesn't say it, the last general almost forgot!"

He grinned: "Last night, the imperial court led the troops, Hou Jingde, the general of the left camp of the imperial guards. It was dark last night and I couldn't see clearly. Today, the generals waited for the late morning to find out that the general Hou was not very lucky. A thunder exploded near him, causing him to faint on the spot. Now he has been brought back to the camp by his brothers and placed with the prisoners."

"Hou Jingde..."

Li Shuo lowered his head and thought about it, and suddenly remembered this person. He slowly said: "I know this person, one of the two generals of the imperial guards of the imperial court, and seems to have some friendship with the general. If you ask the military doctor to treat him, if there is no danger, send someone to Luzhou and hand him over to the general for treatment."

The deputy general bowed respectfully: "I will do this."

After saying this, he grinned at Li Shuo.

"I'm not hiding the general. The last general has been in the army for decades, and he has fought so happily for the first time. If there were these firearms in our army back then..."

Halfway through his words, he was interrupted by Li Shuo's frown.
