Unparalleled Concubine

Chapter 1099 bad news again and again

The battle is extremely fierce!

The Southwest Army fought all the way from Hanzhong to the capital, when morale was high. Although there was a truce for almost two months in the middle, which resulted in a lot of loss of vigor, but today's first day of attacking the city, they successfully broke through the gate of the capital. The Southwest Army immediately cheered up.

This... is the gate of the capital city!

After entering, my group of people will be the "Founding Heroes", when the time comes, prosperity and wealth will be at your fingertips!

Therefore, the vanguard battalion of the Southwest Army rushed in first, followed by the two most powerful captain battalions of the Ningzhou Army, which also rushed into the capital from the west gate!

Behind these two is an integrated shield formation, and behind the shield formation is the most important firearms battalion of the Southwest Army.

Both the Hanzhou Army and the Ningzhou Army have their own firearms battalions, and they are not small in scale.

The firearms battalion of the Hanzhou Army probably has more than 3000 people, and the number of firearms battalions of the Ningzhou Army is smaller, about 2000 people, but all of them are the core and most trustworthy soldiers of their own!

At this time, the number of Li Shuo's Ningzhou Army has far exceeded that of the Hanzhou Army, but the number of firearms camps has not increased. That is to say, none of the new recruits recruited by the Ningzhou Army has been killed Incorporated into the Firearms Battalion!

Even Li Shuo was reluctant to throw his family's firearms camp into the capital. The number of people in this firearms stripping camp was about eight or nine hundred, of which three or four hundred were gunners, and the rest were unique to the Southwest Army. "Throwing soldiers"!

The Southwest Army has possessed sky thunders for many years, and they are the most mature in their use of sky thunders. In order to train these throwers, Southwest has produced a large number of wooden blocks similar to the weight of sky thunders and handed them over to Ningzhou Army and Hanzhou Army Firearms Battalion Each of these throwers throws more than [-] times a day, and they have extremely high requirements on the hit rate.

Now the Hanzhou Army has about [-] throwers, and the Ningzhou Army has only about [-]. However, each of these throwers is carefully selected, and basically everyone can throw clay pots on the ground. About fifty steps, and the accuracy can be guaranteed!

These throwing soldiers will become the enemy's worst nightmare when they push forward with sufficient thunder!

Eight hundred soldiers of the Ningzhou Army Firearms Battalion, under the protection of shield soldiers, poured into the capital like this.

Originally, there was no need for the Ningzhou Army to fight so hard. After all, Li Xin had already greeted Li Shuo, and the attack on the surface was just a feint. It was to create conditions for Li Xin's followers in the capital, but Li Shuo stubbornly wanted to give it a try. Let's see if the Ningzhou army can hit the imperial city head-on at this time!

The destructive power of hundreds of soldiers of the Firearms Battalion was terrifying. Not long after, there was a violent explosion in the capital!

As for the Imperial Army in the capital, although they were taken aback by the Southwest Army who suddenly came in, Zhong Xuantong was a battle-tested veteran general after all, so he quickly reacted and began to direct the Imperial Army under him to fight back.

Although the west city gate was wide enough, not too many people could come in for a while, and at this time, the court also had thunder, and they were not completely powerless to fight back against the firearms from the southwest.

More importantly, at this stage, firearms are far from crushing cold weapons. Archery is a daily subject for the soldiers of the Imperial Army. Manxia can penetrate iron armor within fifty steps, and its destructive power is terrifying!

Moreover, in the era of cold weapons, one can rely on strength and killing skills to make a living. Naturally, some people have practiced this since childhood. Take Ye Mao as an example. He can easily open a five-stone bow at the age of 20. His ancestor Ye Sheng was even more powerful on the battlefield when he was young. The enemy of ten thousand people!

By the same token, given the number of the Imperial Army, it is not uncommon for strongmen who can open a few stone bows. These people can threaten the safety of the soldiers of the Firearms Battalion when they shoot arrows from a long distance. To extremely serious consequences!

Therefore, although the Southwest Army entered the capital and advanced directly to the east of the city for more than a hundred feet, after the initial panic, the Forbidden Army also organized a resistance formation, and the speed of the Ningzhou Army's advance dropped suddenly!

The number of the Custodians is too many.

Although they are dying all the time, they can still easily block the advancing speed of the Ningzhou Army. At the same time, the soldiers of the Ningzhou Army also began to suffer a large number of casualties.

After the two sides fought fiercely in the city for two hours, the Ningzhou army had advanced a distance of less than five miles, but had already suffered more than 6000 casualties!

At the same time, under weapons of mass destruction such as firearms, the Forbidden Army suffered even more casualties, exceeding 1 people.

Li Shuo, the commander of the Ningzhou army, also entered the capital from the west gate at this time. The Ningzhou general had no expression on his face, and said coldly: "Those who do not have the general's order, take a step back!"

"To kill the enemy on the battlefield today, one head will be rewarded with five guan, and you can get the money after the battle!"

"Those who died under the firearms of the firearms camp will be counted on the head of the firearms camp, and the rewards will be shared equally!"

This is an era when ten or twenty pennies can buy a living person in a dental shop, forty or fifty pennies can buy a murderer, and five pennies is already very rich.

The officers and men of the Ningzhou Army suddenly cheered up, and the speed of advancing suddenly accelerated a little!

The once prosperous capital is now devastated.

Although the common people are hiding in their own workshops, no one dares to show their faces, but the battlefield has no eyes, and some thunder will be thrown into the common people's yards if they are not careful.

Every moment someone dies again.

General Zhong Xuantong of the Forbidden Army sits at the front line commanding. The general of the Zhong family has no expression on his face, and his voice is cold: "Fangshan Zhechong Mansion, people from Pingshan Zhechong Mansion will make up for it. There are not many of them. According to this speed , at most until Shen Shi, these people will be unsustainable."

When the two people from Zhechong Mansion heard the general order, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and rushed towards the Ningzhou Army head-on.

Those who greeted them were sky thunders, round lead bullets, and the red-eyed Ningzhou army who killed them.

On the battlefield here, corpses have been beaten everywhere, but in Liushufang, Ningdefang, Yonglefang and Huangcheng in the north of the city, only the sound of rumbling explosions can be heard now, and it is not yet known what happened on the front line.

A young prisoner from the Tianmu prison ran into Weiyang Palace in a panic, and knelt tremblingly in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the rebels have entered Dachengfang!"

The emperor waved his hand blankly and said, "I see."

"Explore and report again."

A moment later, another soldier from the Tianmu Supervisor knelt in Weiyang Palace, his voice trembling: "Your Majesty..."

"The rebels have fought back to Renfang!"

The emperor took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

"I... know."

"Go down and explore..."

……

"Your Majesty, the rebels have reached Xuanpingfang!"

"The traitor has entered Renyifang..."

Chapter 1100 Two-pronged approach

After the Ningzhou army entered the capital, they were like a broken bamboo. In just one day, when it was getting dark, they had already reached Renyifang!

Renyifang is no longer in the west city of the capital. It is only five or six squares away from the imperial city. As long as you go three more northwards, you will come across Mingdefang Liushufang, and further north is Yonglefang.

In other words, the Ningzhou army took down half of the capital in just one day.

Naturally, there was a price to be paid for such a magnificent victory.

In just one day, the Ningzhou Army suffered more than 2 casualties, and at least half of these 2 people were veterans of the Southwest Ningzhou Army, rather than recruits recruited along the way.

What's even more tragic is that the casualties of the Ningzhou Army Firearms Battalion also exceeded 1000 people, and those skilled throwers and firearms suffered heavy losses!

The main force of the Ningzhou Army has already suffered more than half of its casualties. Those recruits who have only been recruited for a few months on the way, naturally have no problem using them to boost their momentum, but it is very difficult to make them exert their strength.

Li Shuo, the general of the Ningzhou Army, was commanding the battle near Xuanpingfang at this time. The Ningzhou general's eyes were a little red at this time, and he was about to command recruits to replace him. Li Xin, who was also armored, rode to catch up come over.
