Ling Yun's idea is very simple, he just wants people, the more the better.

This is because even with the help of firearms, the cost of attacking a city is still huge.

And whether it is the 10,000 Nanyi Army or the 20,000 people brought by Hu Hongyun, they are all his own troops!

Moreover, the number of firearms is not only small, but also not very powerful.

Of course, he was still shocked by the speed at which he captured Xicheng. Ling Yun originally expected that it would take one day, but he didn't expect that only a few hours had passed and he was able to capture Xicheng in less than half a day. He was still surprised.

"How are the casualties?" Ling Yun nodded, and then directly asked about the casualties of the army.

When an army attacks a city, casualties are the most important point.

If your own casualties are too high, it proves that the enemy is very powerful.

vice versa.

Therefore, in order to accurately know the true strength of the Xixia Army, Ling Yun must clearly know the true casualties after each battle.

Only by reviewing the battle after the war can we know ourselves and our enemies, and be able to fight without danger.

"One thousand enemy troops were killed, one thousand were captured, and the rest were frightened."

"Our army's casualties are one thousand and fifty..." Li Jianhui hesitated for a moment and said.

1:1.5.

To be honest, this casualty rate is not high, but Ling Yun frowned after hearing this.

Obviously he is not satisfied with the result.

Although they did not use firearms in this battle, Xicheng was only a small county town and the city wall was not as high as expected. Moreover, the enemy had less than 5,000 troops, but Guo Yixiu allowed 10,000 to attack.

With an absolutely superior force, the casualty rate still reached 1.5 times.

If Xingyuanfu City is attacked according to this situation, the casualty rate will increase several times. This is a result that Ling Yun does not want to see.

"You tell me my will and let Yixiu control the casualty rate." Ling Yun said after thinking about it.

"It's Ling Shuai, I'll go and notify him right away." After hearing this, Li Jianhui retreated.

After Li Jianhui left, Ling Yun slowly closed his eyes and took a short rest, but Zixuan appeared behind him at this moment, and then took the initiative to massage him to relieve fatigue.

Ling Yun enjoyed this kind of service very much.

After a long time, feeling half of the fatigue faded, Ling Yun's eyes fell on the map again, trying to find the most suitable siege plan.

The most suitable one, that is, the time is fast and the casualty rate is low... Only when these conditions are met for clothing support can it be called the optimal solution.

It's a pity that he thought hard and even racked his brains, but he still couldn't come up with a plan that was beneficial to siege the city.

As a result, the only way to attack the city gates with firearms is to use them.

The next day, the Chinese army where Ling Yun was located did not move.

The vanguard army captured Xicheng and continued to advance westward.

The next target is Sanquan County.

If you want to defeat Xingyuan Prefecture, Sanquan County is the only way to go.

What surprised Ling Yun was that the Pioneer Army did not engage in a major battle with the Xixia Army in Sanquan County.

The news from Guo Yixiu stated that the Xixia Army had learned that our army was attacking them, so they withdrew all the soldiers and horses from several counties near Xingyuan Prefecture back to Xingyuan Prefecture. Therefore, whether it was Sanquan County or Chenggu,

Nanzheng County can be won without any effort.

When Ling Yun received this news, his brows were sunken. He obviously saw the enemy's trick. The enemy planned to rely on Xingyuan Mansion to fight with them. Only in this way would they have a chance to win. After all, in terms of military strength alone, Ling Yun's army was stronger than

The number of enemies in Xingyuan Prefecture exceeds 20,000, and the Xixia army cannot resist them if they are divided and attacked.

Instead of waiting to attack and destroy them one by one, it is better to order them to be withdrawn, so as to gather troops and determine the outcome of the battle.

It can be seen from this that the commander-in-chief of Xingyuan Mansion is not an ordinary person.

At least in the face of his attack, he did not rush to respond, but planned to rely on Xingyuan Fucheng to engage in an offensive and defensive battle with them.

This method is indeed good, Ling Yun has to praise it.

Since there were no Xixia troops in other cities, Ling Yun immediately sent a message to Cai Hongyuan, urging him to immediately send troops to take over the city he had just captured.

There is nothing wrong with letting Cai Hongyuan take over the recovered city. After all, he is fighting from the front. Cai Hongyuan and Fan Zizhen will definitely send troops to take over the city to ensure the logistics of the army.

The main reason is that Lingyun has no time and not so many troops to waste on this aspect.

It is said that when Cai Hongyuan received the news, he was immediately shocked.

I was surprised at how quickly Ling Yun recovered the lost territory, because it took less than three days for Ling Yun to lead the army and now he could not help but recover Xicheng, and at the same time, he also recovered Sanquan, Chenggu and other counties.

The speed is as fast as lightning.

But when Cai Hongyuan learned that, except for Xicheng County, the enemy had actively withdrawn troops in all other counties, he immediately had other ideas.

Cai Hongyuan ordered troops to be sent to take over various cities, but Cai Hongyuan did not leave Jinzhou City and reach Xicheng or other county towns.

Just because the city wall of Jinzhou City is high and thick, unlike Xicheng, Sanquan and other county cities, the city wall is not only short, but also easy to be conquered.

He was just worried that the enemy would come back and find himself in trouble again, so he had better stay in Jinzhou Mansion.

Regarding this result, Ling Yun didn't say anything, as long as the other party could ensure that the logistics would not be interfered with. As for other things like appearing on the battlefield, he had never thought about it at all.

Because he knew that most civil servants were afraid of war.

To put it simply, I am afraid of death.

Both Cai Hongyuan and Fan Zizhen have the same virtues. One is the top leader of Yongyuan Province, and the other is the second leader... The two of them combined an army of hundreds of thousands, but they were defeated by the Xixia army of 50,000 to 60,000. They abandoned their armor and abandoned the city and fled.

, Every time he thought of this, Ling Yun felt angry. Why did Daqian always hand over the power of the generals to these civil servants who were greedy for life and feared death? Did he assume that they would not rebel?

It is probably for this reason that the imperial court allows civilian officials to control military officers. This is true for the imperial court and also for local governments.

This method has advantages, but the disadvantages are more obvious.

Of course, this is not an issue that Ling Yun needs to consider.

Because even the Ministry of War cannot solve the problem, how can he shake the structure of the imperial court?

Ling Yun led the Chinese army to Sanquan County on the fifth day, while the army led by Guo Yixiu was eighty miles outside Xingyuanfu City, and the war broke out.

Ling Yun asked Guo Yixiu to send a war message to the enemy troops in Xingyuan Mansion. The war message asked the general of Xingyuan Mansion to lead his troops to withdraw from Xingyuan Mansion or come out to fight to the death with him.

In fact, this battle post has little effect. It was just set up by Ling Yun to deliberately provoke the enemy.

Sure enough, when the war post was shot up the city and delivered to the enemy general Li Zhenghao in Xingyuan Prefecture, Li Zhenghao instantly turned black.

The hall of a luxurious mansion in Xingyuan Mansion was filled with many people. All of these people were wearing battle armor and official uniforms, but they were all silent and did not even dare to look up at the people directly above the hall. Men, as if the man above them would kill them if they disagreed, and this result was all because of a war post ordered by Ling Yun.

The man's eyes were cold, like an eagle in the dark night, cold, arrogant, and cold.

"What's wrong? Are they all mute?" Li Zhenghao's faint gaze glanced downwards, but there was a pressing sense of oppression.

As a result, the voice fell and no one dared to respond.

The original text comes from Yuta&Read Novel~&

"Tuoba Lu, please tell me why in the Battle of Xicheng, more than a thousand of our troops died, more than a thousand were captured, and in the end less than two thousand escaped."

"Why didn't you stay anywhere?"

"Huh?" Li Zhenghao asked again, and this time he directly named Tuoba Lu's name below.

As for why Tuobalu was ordered, it was all because this guy took the initiative to continue attacking Daqian and led five thousand people to continuously attack Daqian's city. This seemed to be a good thing, but for Li Zhenghao, this move It will undoubtedly completely anger Daqian.

Da Qianxian dispatched an army of 50,000 troops. Li Zhenghao attributed this reason to Tuoba Lu's self-assertion and disobedience to military orders.

Tuoba Lu suffered a defeat and lost more than 2,000 people.

Even if I feel dissatisfied, I don't dare to show it at the moment.

In desperation, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "General, I will finally admit my sin. I hope you will forgive me!"

"You are indeed guilty, and it is a capital crime!" Li Zhenghao's voice was slightly hoarse, his dark eyes flashed, and the low tail tone contained danger, and it was the kind of danger that could not be understood.

At this time, a person stepped forward in the hall, risking the anger of Li Zhenghao and exonerating Tuoba Lu, "General, this time General Tuoba Lu is indeed guilty, but his crime does not lead to death."

As these words fell, Tuoba Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, everyone else looked at the speaker in unison.
