Unparalleled Concubine

"This is two different things. Even the orthodox emperor of Jin Dynasty cannot act against the wishes of all soldiers."

Li Xin smiled and said, "It's not difficult for the court to want the Southwest Army to retreat. I only have one request."

Ye Lin sighed: "Say it."

He knew very well what kind of character Li Xin had, and he also knew that most of the conditions Li Xin proposed were beyond the reach of the imperial court.

"It's very simple. The Gyeonggi Forbidden Army was transferred out of the capital, opened the gates of the capital, and let the Southwest Army enter the capital."

Ye Lin's face darkened: "This is impossible. The emperor sent me here to discuss matters with the Southwest Army, not to surrender."

Li Xin continued unhurriedly: "I can assure my brother that after the Southwest Army enters the capital, it will not disturb the people in the capital. After that, the purpose is just to change the emperor, as for who to be the emperor, we will sit down and discuss in detail after the Southwest Army enters Beijing."

"Too harsh."

Ye Lin frowned and said: "You are forcing the court to fight you to the death. The Southwest Army you brought over now has more than 20 people, and the imperial court's Gyeonggi Imperial Army has more than [-]. On the way to Beijing, if there is a real fight, the Southwest Army may not necessarily win."

"Now there are more than [-] people."

Li Xin laughed and said, "Mu Ying leads the troops to the front, and my younger brother has not been idle following him. The number of people in the Southwest Army now is much larger than when they left Shu."

Ye Lin lowered his head, took a sip of wine to himself, and then smiled wryly: "Forget it, with your temperament, unless the old father is alive now, no one will persuade you. I came here because of my brother, and I also want to see you. , I don’t expect to be able to persuade you to go back to the southwest.”

Li Xin didn't mention any more business matters, just refilled Zhu Rongjiu for him, and then smiled heartily: "Our brothers haven't drunk for a long time, come, have a drink."

The two brothers exchanged cups, and after a few rounds of drinking, their faces began to turn red.

Li Xin ate a few mouthfuls of food, then looked up at Ye Lin, his tongue was already a little bit loud.

"Brother, you can't come here in vain. After you return to the capital, tell the emperor that the war has arrived, and you can't avoid it. If he is sincere, he will let the southwestern army enter the city now. Dajin, I will give everyone an acceptable result, but if the Southwest Army breaks into the capital, the title of Dajin may be even easier."

Ye Lin took a sip of wine silently.

"Brother, write it down."

Li Xin patted his brother on the shoulder, and continued: "What's more, after the brother returns to Beijing, he must find a way to save the lives of his family. I am afraid that some people will jump the wall in a hurry and will attack the Ye family."

"Senior brother's family and Ye Mao's family are all in the capital. You don't have to do anything. You must save your life."

Li Xin looked serious.

"I promised Ye Mao that one day I would help him rebuild the Zhenbei Army, and then go out to seek revenge from the Xianbei."

"When the Southwest Army enters Beijing, the Great Jin court may be turned upside down, but there is only one thing I can assure my brother."

"Ye family, it's still the same Ye family."

Chapter 1065 Exchange Experience

Ye Lin only stayed in Gaocheng for one night, and left the next day. Li Xin didn't make things difficult for him, and sent someone to send him back to the capital.

However, this "negotiation" did not bring about any substantial progress. On the second day after Ye Lin returned to Beijing, Mu Ying launched a fierce attack on Luzhou City. Almost no one can stand on the Luzhou city.

However, at this time, the imperial army has learned the lesson of Xiangyang City. Although there is a storm coming, there are always people on Luzhou City. The lethality of Tianlei was greatly reduced. At the same time, once someone was injured and killed, someone would be added soon. This caused the efficiency of Tianlei to drop a lot, and the process was far less smooth than the attack on Xiangyang.

Fortunately, there are not too many defenders in Luzhou City, and the Southwest Army has sufficient firearms, and while the imperial court's experience in dealing with firearms has increased, Mu Ying, the generals of the Southwest Army, has also gradually increased their experience in using firearms. After bombing indiscriminately for a whole day, Muying ordered the most elite guards around her to rush up to the tower of Luzhou City on a ladder. After losing hundreds of people, these people successfully climbed the tower, and then stood On the tower, ordinary sky thunders began to be thrown down.

However, the attitude of the Luzhou defenders to defend the city was quite resolute. The Southwest Army continued to send troops to the tower, and the people from the imperial court also sent troops to the tower. The two sides fought fiercely on the tower for about an hour. It was only when the army completely captured the city wall of Luzhou City, opened the gate of Luzhou City, and the army advanced into Luzhou City.

This is just the beginning of the battle of Luzhou.

Most of the mystery of firearms has been uncovered. The generals of the imperial court no longer regard it as a fetish, and naturally it is impossible for such a large imperial court to be full of idiots. Some smarter generals have already figured out how to deal with the thunder Although the countermeasures were not all effective, they still caused Mu Ying a lot of trouble.

After entering the city, Mu Ying's troops were able to advance quickly in Luzhou City by relying on a large amount of sky thunder reserves and increasingly mature firecrackers. The defenders drove out of Luzhou, and took Luzhou City with great difficulty.

After conquering Luzhou, this originally prosperous city has been scorched all over the place.

After Muying captured Luzhou, Li Xin rushed to the front line of Luzhou from Gaocheng of the Central Army. In the wounded soldiers camp in Luzhou City, he saw Mu Ying who was visiting the wounded soldiers.

Mu Ying wasn't injured much, but the Southwest Army paid a high price for attacking the city this time, and the number of wounded soldiers was much higher than in any previous battle, even far surpassing the Battle of Xiangyang.

After seeing Li Xin, Mu Ying stood up and bowed her head deeply to Li Xin: "The general has seen the general."

He has a cheerful personality and has a good personal relationship with Li Xin. When he saw Li Xin before, he always had a smile on his face, but this time, General Mu had a serious face, obviously in a bad mood.

Li Xin, who was dressed in blue clothes, first looked around in the wounded barracks, and then asked, "There are a lot of casualties?"

Mu Ying nodded, and said with a wry smile: "The exact number has not been calculated yet, but preliminary estimates suggest that 8000 to 1 people died in battle, plus those who were seriously injured, the loss of combat power this time would be more than [-]. "

Long before Ye Lin met Li Xin, Mu Ying had started to attack Luzhou City. The Southwest Army attacked Luzhou three times, and the last time it took five or six days to barely conquer Luzhou.

The difficulty of this battle is already the most difficult battle since the Southwest Army left Shu.

Li Xin nodded silently, and said, "How about the casualties at the imperial court?"

"At least two or three times as much as ours, only more, not less than this amount."

Mu Ying said in a deep voice: "The imperial court sent reinforcements to Luzhou more than once. Adding up the previous and subsequent ones, the defenders in Luzhou City are estimated to be 9 to 3 people. When the last general finally captured Luzhou, they escaped There are only more than [-] people, and many people were injured and became prisoners of our army."

To be honest, although this battle loss ratio is still exaggerated, it is not as terrible as the battle of Xiangyang City. That is to say, the imperial court's ability to deal with firearms is slowly increasing bit by bit.

This is a very normal thing. No one is a fool in this world. Even if the technology gap between the two sides is too large, after mutual understanding, the gap will gradually narrow.

Fortunately, Li Xin is under the banner of the prince of the Jin Dynasty, and the Southwest Army strictly prohibits soldiers from disturbing the people along the way. Otherwise, once the Southwest Army loses people's hearts and stands on the opposite side of all the people of the Jin Dynasty, the Southwest Army's technical advantage can support at most two or three Years, it will be cleaned up by the court.

Together with Mu Ying, Li Xin looked around the wounded barracks, and found that most of the wounded barracks were seriously injured soldiers, while Mu Ying's Hanzhou Army still had many slightly injured soldiers, so they could only recover slowly by themselves.

After reading it, Li Xin and Mu Ying walked out of the wounded barracks. They walked on the street of Luzhou City. As a deterrent, it is naturally omnipotent, but it will become more and more difficult to fight against others. It is already very remarkable that the battle of Luzhou can be fought like this, brother Mu does not need to think too much."

Mu Ying nodded, and said with a wry smile: "It's not that I thought too much, but after the fight, I thought about it carefully. If my mind could be more active at that time, my Southwest Army soldiers might have died less."

Li Xin shook his head and asked, "How many soldiers are available for the Hanzhou Army under Brother Mu's account?"

Mu Ying brought 1000 Hanzhou troops out of Shu from the southwest, and after defeating Ankang in Hanzhong, the more than [-] miles from Hanzhong to Luzhou were all defeated by Mu Ying with the [-] Hanzhou troops. It is smooth, but there will be losses to some extent.

Mu Ying lowered her head and said, "Back to the General, the Hanzhou Army has [-] combat strength, except for the seriously injured, ready to charge for the General at any time!"

"Thirty thousand..."

Li Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Brother Mu brought [-] Hanzhou troops all the way from Hanzhong to Luzhou. It's not easy. According to my opinion, the Hanzhou army will take a rest in Luzhou temporarily." Firstly, to recuperate, secondly, we will use Luzhou as our stronghold, Hanzhou Army will defend Luzhou, and leave a city for our Southwest Army to advance and retreat, what do you think, Brother Mu?"

Speaking of this, Mu Ying naturally couldn't say anything more, he said silently: "The last general will naturally obey the general's arrangement!"

Li Xin reached out and patted Mu Ying's shoulder, and said, "Brother Mu, don't worry, I didn't ask Li Shuo to come out to pick the fruit. It might not be that easy for us to win the capital."

Mu Ying lowered her head and said, "The last general will naturally trust the great general."

Li Xin closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "What's more, Brother Mu has accumulated a lot of experience in using firearms all the way from Hanzhong. I hope that Brother Mu can bring some generals of the Hanzhou Army Firearms Battalion with him. Li Shuo's Ningzhou army contacted and taught them some methods of using firearms, does Brother Mu agree?"
