"The city gate is opened...... the two armies were shocked, one was happy and the other was sad. Confused, he immediately ordered the cavalry to charge, and the cavalry under his command had been hidden by him, and the street fighting cavalry had little effect, waiting for this time.

No matter how fierce Li Kui is, there is only one person, how can he guard the city gate? At this moment, the city gate has been completely opened by the crazy subordinates, and seeing the cavalry charge, Li Kui said madly: "Your black grandfather is here, no one wants to go out of the city." ”

One hundred steps, fifty steps, ten steps, Li Kui stood in front of the city gate without moving, waving a double axe, Song Jiang and the other brothers of Liangshan had red eyes, and cried: "Tie Niu, dodge away......"

Song Jiang was really crying, and he wanted to ask who was the most loyal to him, only Li Kui. Although Song Jiang often shouted angrily at Li Kui, he hated iron more or less, how could he not know that this iron bull was selflessly loyal to him.

Seeing that Li Kui died in an instant, Song Jiang rushed over desperately despite the pull of his relatives.

It's a pity that it was late, and Li Kui never planned to back down.

Thousands of horses rushed over; Thousands of war horses hit Li Kui; Thousands of horses trampled over him.

Li Kui, died in battle.

Midang has already ridden out of the city, and the fight is nearing its end.

Wang Lanying saw it from a distance, looking up to the sky and roaring, that burning Ge's subordinates were also the most powerful dead soldiers under Mi Dang's command, and they blocked her desperately.

And at this moment, Lu Wenlong and Yue Yun were about to arrive, almost watching the fans go out of the city.

Liang Shan did his best, they saw Li Kui die at the city gate, where could they say more? If you do whatever you want, nine times out of ten things in the world will be unsatisfactory.

Song Jiang hid his face and cried a few words, ran to the city gate, knelt down to Li Kui's corpse and said: "I, Song Jiang, swear here, not to kill the fan, and to be a person in the world in vain." ”

As soon as Song Jiang finished speaking, Wu Song, who had been standing beside Li Kui's corpse, also knelt down, "Wu Song swears ......"

Then, "Qin Ming swears ......"

"Hua Rong swears ......"

"Zhu Tong swears ......"

"Wu Yong swears ......"

……

The leaders of Liangshan, who were still alive, knelt down one by one and swore one by one......

A few hours later, Zhao Ming heard about this, and sighed in his heart: In the previous life, so many brothers died, but Li Kui lived until the end of the war. Although I don't like Li Kui's personality, there is no doubt that Li Kui is a hero and a hero.

Afterwards, Zhao Ming personally went to the table and asked Li Kui to be sealed.

Saying that, Midang rushed out of the city, worried in his heart, but he was afraid that Lingju would also be lost, and he did not dare to return to Lingju, so he led the only remaining more than 2,000 cavalry and more than 3,000 foot soldiers to the north for twenty miles, and then changed the route to the east to go to Han Sui.

Although Yang Zaixing was informed by Hu Che'er and led his troops to the east gate, the east gate was broken, and he didn't know where to go, so Yang Zaixing immediately led his troops to chase north, but to no avail.

The battle continued until late at night, and countless battles took place in different places, different people, large and small, until the next day, when the Qianghu in Zhiyang City was initially eliminated.

Zhao Ming sat in the city lord's mansion and watched the battle report.

Longxi Army: 2,000 foot soldiers were killed and wounded, of which more than 700 were Qiang soldiers brought by Wang Lanying, and more than half of the sword and shield hands were lost. Cavalry losses in dozens of battles.

Adabe: 3,000 infantry killed and wounded, no cavalry.

Soldiers of the two counties: more than 6,000 dead and wounded.

Yangsan: 12,000 dead and wounded.

Jincheng soldiers: The main force of this battle was the Jincheng soldiers, and the strangulation in the city was basically completed by the Jincheng soldiers and horses, and the casualties were the largest, reaching 15,000 people.

More than 38,000 people were killed and wounded, and the number of dead and wounded was almost fifty.

Results: 5,000 Qianghu prisoners, 13,000 Han prisoners, and 6,500 horses.

According to the agreement, the 5,000 Qianghu captives were returned to the Ada Department, and the Han captives were all Jincheng people, and they were handed over to the Jincheng County Shou Liangwen for arrangement. And the war horses, Zhao Ming divided the two counties into 1,000 horses, Jincheng 2,000 horses, although Liangshan suffered heavy losses, but let go of the mischief, the faces of the troops were not good-looking, only 500 horses, Zhao Ming took 2,000 horses.

The generals of Liangshan were very unhappy with this distribution, after all, their losses were too great, and at this time, Liangshan was able to fight no more than 5,000 soldiers, and five leaders were folded. In the end, there were only 500 war horses, who could accept it?

But so what? Who didn't have any deaths, Jincheng lost more than them, with fifteen thousand casualties, Zhao Ming's side, if even the battle losses of the Ada Department were more than five thousand, the spoils of war were like this, Zhao Ming is the boss and he must take the lion's head, it stands to reason that Liang Shan, who made a big mistake, has scored a good score.

However, afterwards, Zhao Ming considered that he still had many Liang Shan generals under his command, and took care of their face problems, so Zhao Ming himself found another 500 horses for Liang Shan.

After three days of repairs, the armies attacked in all directions to recover the lost territory in the Lingju area. Ten days later, the Battle of Jincheng officially ended. Zhao Ming led the army back to Longxi, there was no holy decree, and there was no dispatch of the Western Army, Zhao Ming could not lead the army north to reinforce the Western Army, although he was the King of Martial Arts, but the Western Army nominally had the right to control the soldiers and horses of the counties of Yong and Liang.

The generals of Liangshan were nominally under Zhao Ming's control, and temporarily returned to Longxi with Zhao Ming to station, but Liangshan suffered serious losses of soldiers and horses, only 5,000, and almost existed in name only at this moment.

Zhao Ming can't do it for this matter, the ownership of Liangshan has not been decided, and the number of soldiers and horses that can be controlled has not been decided, so he can't recruit soldiers for the time being, so he can only wait.

Back in Longxi City, Zhao Ming was disappointed this time, and there was no hint to complete the task.

"Such a big battle, it's not even a mission?" Zhao Ming questioned the system.

"Didi...... The system determines that the enemy in this battle is not strong enough to give a mission reward. ”

……

"The two sides invested more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and it is not strong?"

"Didi...... The system thinks that with the current strength of the host, you can get a reward by fighting the enemy alone, but after the alliance of each county, the opponent is too weak, so it is decided that the task reward will not be given. ”

……

As the strength gets stronger and stronger, the only way to get the task reward in the future is to fight the boss.

After returning to Longxi, he was not busy with other things, and rectifying the military horses was the first priority.

Finally made time to reorganize his Imperial Forest Army, in the past six months, Zhao Ming also realized that if the Imperial Forest Army only has one battalion, and it follows him around non-stop, where can it maintain any combat power? Look at the current soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army, once they were all alive and vibrant, they were strong men specially selected by Zhao Ming from the Longxi Army, but now they all have dishes on their faces, they are fighting everywhere, they can't eat well and sleep well in the open food, and their combat power has plummeted.

It must be divided into battalions, the Royal Forest Army has a total of 4,500 people, Zhao Ming decided to divide it into three battalions, two battalions on the left and right with 2,000 people each, led by Lin Chong and Shi Wengong. The left and right two battalions can be rotated to go out with him, and there are not many soldiers, if two thousand people can have the combat power of Wang Lanying's five hundred sword shields, even if there are only two thousand people, there is no need to worry about the number is too small and the combat power is insufficient.

There were still five hundred people, Zhao Ming gritted his teeth, and set up a heavy cavalry of five hundred people, led by Yue Yun. The investment of one heavy cavalry is probably more than the investment of 20 soldiers, and the investment of one heavy cavalry is not less than the investment of ten soldiers. This is really a bloody investment, Zhao Ming dared to do this, and it was also based on the fact that the Ada Ministry was about to have money and food from the imperial court, and it was no longer a burden on Longxi, and this part of the money was allocated to the heavy cavalry.

After Zhao Ming and Wang Lanying discussed for a long time, he gave Wang Lanying great rights and opened up various armies to choose people for her, including Hungry Tiger Valley and Ada Ministry, as long as she was innocent, she could choose to join the Royal Forest Army.

As for the heavy cavalry, the cavalry battalions were divided among the heads, and the strong cavalry was selected to make up the number of 500.

Whether it is heavy cavalry or sword and shield hands, the weapons of the new Imperial Forest Army are relatively special, and Zhao Ming arranged for Lin Xiangru to go to work, and people built them as soon as possible.

Wang Lanying and Lin Xiangru are both busy, and Zhao Ming is not idle, he carefully combed through the experience of the past year. The top priority is to find a way to get rid of the entanglement of the prince and cultivate for a few years.

Longxi Horse Farm is a good development, so that tens of thousands of cavalry can be formed anytime and anywhere, plus the existing system, there are 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry on hand, 50,000 or 60,000 foot soldiers, this is the capital to dominate the world, when the wind and clouds are throbbing, the soldiers go out of the pass, take Chang'an to guard the Tong Pass, it is the best policy.

He gradually understood the prince's heart, and wanted to treat the Longxi army as a minion, the Longxi army would not be wiped out for a day, and the prince would probably not let Zhao Ming go one day. Although so many battles have been fought, the Longxi army has not suffered any big losses, but the enemy is getting stronger and stronger, often more than 100,000 horses and horses, the Longxi army is limited by the establishment, always outnumbered, the general always misses in a hundred battles, and every time he takes risks, how can he have such good luck every time he is safe and sound?

With the current strength of Longxi, as long as there is a mistake, it will hurt the muscles and bones, and one of the two armies of Yang and Yue is broken, and the little Longxi will not be able to bear it.

If you continue to fight like this, the elite soldiers in your hands will die one after another, even if you can recruit new soldiers, where can the recruits compare with the veterans who have been trained for more than a year?

It must not go on like this, after Zhao Ming made up his mind, he convened the meeting of the important ministers of Longxi's civil and military affairs.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since the lone king ascended the throne of the martial king, the southern expedition to the north has never stopped, the heart of the prince, wants to treat my Longxi as a minion, thug, the lone king thinks left and right, where is the end of this? The general died in a hundred battles, and one day my Longxi army will be dragged down, so do you have a plan? ”

Everyone here knows the quarrel between the prince and the Wuwang Mansion, and when he heard Zhao Ming ask, they all knew that it was not a way to go on like this, and they fought three or four battles this year, and the most ridiculous thing was that they ran from Longxi to Shandong to suppress bandits, and they were tired and killed.

Jia Xu groaned for a while and said, "Or you can try to divert the prince's attention." ”

As soon as Zhao Ming heard Jia Xu speak, he knew that there was a bit of a joke: "What the teacher said, how to divert the prince's attention?" ”
