The imperial guards in the capital originally had sixteen Zhechong Mansions, and each Zhechong Mansion had a different number of people. According to the three levels of upper, middle and lower, there were 20,000 to 30,000 people in the upper, middle and lower levels. The lower-level Zhechong Mansion may only have more than 10,000 or even less than 10,000 troops.

When Li Xin was expeditioning the West, he led three Zhechong Mansions to cross the Motianling Mountains, attacked Jiangyou Pass, and then seized the most critical Mianzhu.

However, the Sixteen Zhechong Prefectures were the prime minister of the Gyeonggi. Since the Emperor Taikang, the court has been constantly drawing soldiers from the Gyeonggi Imperial Guards and transferred them to the southwest. Most of the Hanzhong Army and Ankang Army that appeared in the southwest were established with the Gyeonggi Imperial Guards as the backbone. After the Gyeonggi Imperial Guards were drawn, although the new recruits were quickly replenished, but the combat effectiveness of the new recruits was reduced. To the present, there are actually only thirteen or fourteen Zhechong Prefectures in the 16 Zhechong Prefectures in the capital.

Of course, all Pei Jin's Ankang army withdrew back to the capital, and Xie Jing's Hanzhong army also withdrew back a little. These two armies can be at least equal to two Zhechong Mansions. The defense force of the capital is still about sixteen Zhechong Mansions.

A few days ago, Hou Jingde led two Zhechong Mansions in the Imperial Guards left camp out of the capital, and was disbanded by Li Shuo overnight. The troops that can be used in the capital are about 14 or 15 Zhechong Mansions.

Now, about four Zhechong Prefecture's troops are about to collide with the Southwest Army head-on.

Li Xin had commanded troops in the Gyeonggi Imperial Army, and it took a long time, for about seven or eight years. During this period, although he was a hand-off manager most of the time, he was still very clear about the establishment of the Gyeonggi Imperial Army.

The troops of the four Zhechong Prefectures are not bad. With the combat power of the Ningzhou Army and the firearms, they can deal with them calmly, but these imperial guards brought the imperial court's "sky thunder" out of the city. Although they don't know how far the imperial court's firearms have reached and how many of them have been built, this thing was first made by Li Xin after all. He knows the power of the firearms more than anyone else.

Although this thing has great limitations, it can play a great role in the battlefield by relying on its ability to kill within a range, and it has to be prepared for it.

Li Xin watched on the high slope for a while. After the formation of the imperial guards was almost formed, he also rode his horse to the Ningzhou army camp. At this time, in the Ningzhou army's tent, Li Shuo had already summoned the main generals from the Ningzhou army and began to distribute specific tasks. After seeing Li Xin coming, Li Shuo immediately stood up and bowed to Li Xin and clasped his fists: "I have seen the general!"

When he said this, all the generals of the Ningzhou Army bowed and clasped their fists at Li Xin: "I have seen the general!"

"It's time, don't be polite."

Li Xin sat straight in the main seat and said, "Everyone sits down and talks."

The group sat down as they said, and Li Xin said, "The Gyeonggi Imperial Army is only more than ten miles away from us, and it will be half an hour at most. At this time, we will be short-speaking."

He asked Li Shuo directly: "What is the strategy of Ningzhou Army to welcome the enemy now?"

Li Shuo lowered his head and said, "Go back to the general, the last general has prepared a defensive position. If there is a firearm battalion, the first formation will be fought first. After the first round of firearms, the musket soldiers will fight the second round. At this time, the enemy's formation will be almost disrupted. The main force of our army can take the opportunity to send troops and fight head-on with the enemy."

Li Xin shouted in a deep voice: "Everyone, fight for him and win the imperial guards. Ningzhou Army General will be famous all over the world today!"

Li Shuo took the lead and knelt on the ground, clasped his fists and lowered his head, shouting: "The last general will definitely live up to the great trust of the general!"

After saying this, he took the lead in walking out of the camp and began to assign specific tasks to dozens of generals behind him.

The muskets, which had been upgraded to one thousand people, were arranged in positions on both wings, quietly waiting for the arrival of the imperial cavalry.

It was still early morning, but there was no sun in the sky, and the thick dark clouds were built up, which made people very depressed.
