Chapter 148 Two-pronged approach

After the Ningzhou army entered the capital, they were in a state of great power. In just one day, when it was almost dark, they had already reached Renyifang!

Renyifang is no longer the west city of the capital. It is only five or six yards away from the imperial city. As long as you go three more yards north, you can meet the Willow Shop of Mingdefang, and Yonglefang is further north.

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

Such gorgeous results naturally require the price you should pay.

In just one day, the Ningzhou Army suffered more than 20,000 casualties, and at least half of these 20,000 were veterans of the Ningzhou Army in the southwest, rather than those recruiting new recruits halfway.

What's even more tragic is that there were more than one thousand casualties in the Ningzhou military weapon battalion, and those skilled throwing soldiers and musket soldiers suffered heavy losses!

The main force of Ningzhou Army has suffered more than half of the casualties. There is naturally no problem with those recruits who have been recruiting halfway through for a few months to strengthen their momentum, but it is very difficult to make them work hard.

As the commander of Ningzhou Army, Li Shuo was commanding the battle near Xuanpingfang at this time. The Ningzhou general had a little red eyes at this time and was about to command the new recruits to come on the bench. Li Xin, who was also covered in armor, rushed over on horseback.

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

Seeing that Li Xin had opened, Li Shuo quickly met him and said, "I have met the general."

Li Xin frowned and looked at him, and asked, "How long will you fight?"

Li Shuo gritted his teeth and said, "General, Xiurenfang has been taken down by our army. In another two hours, you can approach Liushufang, Mingdefang, or even Yonglefang..."

Li Xin once lived in the capital for many years. He knew very well the map and terrain of the 81st floor of the capital, so the generals of the Southwest Army naturally also knew very well.

"Then what?"

Li Xin had no expression on his face: "You can't stand it if you hit Liushufang at most. Now, the imperial guards have counted the seriously injured, and at most they have lost 50,000 or 60,000 people. They have at least 100,000 troops in the capital. After you hit Liushufang, you want to withdraw, is it possible?"

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

Li Shuo's face turned red and he slowly breathed out: "I don't dare!"

"You are too greedy for merit."

Li Xin looked expressionless: "We have made a plan before, and it would be enough to fight to Xuanpingfang, but you still want to continue fighting to fight to Xiurenfang..."

He groaned: "I will order you, and now the Ningzhou army will immediately change its formation and withdraw from the capital from the West Gate one after another!"

Li Shuo was silent for a long time, then half-kneeled on the ground, bowed to Li Xin and said, "I will obey the order!"

Li Xin walked up to him and glanced at him expressionlessly: "This is the first big mistake you have made, I will not favor you."

Li Shuo knelt on the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "It's... the last time he will neglect his duties."

"The last general, let's arrange a retreat."

After saying that, he got up from the ground in a mess and began to shout loudly.

The Ningzhou Army's messenger also sounded the weapons in the army, and the sound of metal and stone suddenly became a big deal, and the entire Ningzhou Army began to turn from attack to shrinking defense.

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

"I heard that Brother Li, you raised the Southwest Army, but I didn't believe it. I think you are in the capital, at most you cooperate with the Southwest Army. How can you control the army thousands of miles away? Now it seems that the word "raising" is not wrong at all."

This person was naturally Hou Jingde who was taken from the west gate to the capital by Li Xin.

Li Xin shook his head slightly, looked back at Hou Jingde, and said in silence: "It's just a matter of some benefits. The world is bustling, and it's all for profit. Nothing can be missed in the world."

Speaking of this, Li Xin waved to the back, and about forty or fifty men came over. These men were all wearing black clothes and black armor, which looked very much like the Yulin Guard's clothing, but they did not have the White Tiger logo of Yulin Guard.

This is the person who works in the battle in Li Xin's Ancient Tribe.

These people were wearing black armor, but they were holding a set of blue imperial guard armor in their hands. Li Xin handed one of the armors to Hou Jingde, and then said in a deep voice: "Brother, there is a lot of chaos in the capital. You should change into the imperial guards' uniforms. There should be no problem in the chaos. These are the capable people around me. They will successfully send you to the location of the imperial guards' left camp."

Hou Jingde took over the familiar set of imperial guards' clothes and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that I, the general of imperial guards, would have to disguise myself in order to get into the imperial guards."

Li Xin smiled slightly: "Extreme moments, man, please be considerate."

After saying this, Li Xin's face became serious. He asked in a deep voice: "Brother, how long does it take to contact those people you should contact?"

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

"Tomorrow night, there will be at least three Zhechong Mansions in the Left Camp of the Imperial Army. "

After pausing, he continued, "I don't know what the situation is in Zuoying. If it goes well, the entire Zuoying of the Imperial Guard will not move tomorrow night."

"There will be no action for at least one hour."

"very good."

Li Xin looked serious: "Tomorrow evening, it will be up to you, man."

Hou Jingde nodded with a complicated expression and said with a wry smile: "Today's affairs are just like the Renchen Palace change back then. It's just that the person in the palace has become the son of His Highness the King of Wei since the deposed crown prince."

Li Xin reached out and patted Hou Jingde on the back and spoke slowly: "Old brother, our capital today is much larger than when the Renchen Palace changed."

In the Renchen Palace Incident, the entire Wei Wangfu Group had only one Yulinwei and more than a thousand pieces of the Ye family. The reason why it was successful was that luck accounted for at least half of the components.

Now Li Xin has an army of more than 100,000, and his combat power is not much worse than that of the 200,000 imperial guards in the capital.

Hou Jingde didn't say anything more. He pulled off his black clothes and put on the imperial guards' clothes. The secret troops behind Li Xin also changed into the imperial guards' clothes. Soon, a small team of imperial guards appeared in front of Li Xin.

Hou Jingde hugged Li Xin and then disappeared into the night with these forty people. : :

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

After Hou Jingde and others left, Li Xin clapped his hands, and a commander from the Ancient Ministry appeared in front of Li Xin, bowed and bowed: "I have seen the general."

"I want to send a message to Zhao Yi and ask him to inform He Song to take action tomorrow night at You hour."

The commander of the Ancient Tribe immediately bowed his head: "Sir, obey the order!"

After saying that, the man slowly retreated and went to do business.

At this time, the entire Ningzhou army's formation had changed from attack to defense, and under the cover of firearms, it slowly contracted towards the west city.

General Li held his hands on his back and looked at the capital where fires were everywhere, narrowing his eyes slightly and murmured.

"Tomorrow, He Song and Hou Jingde will be reliable as long as one of them is reliable..."
