North Side.

Above the city, under the bloody dusk.

Luo Xin had an arrow stuck in his left shoulder, but Luo Xin ignored it, and was looking intently at the retreating steppe soldiers.

"Your Excellency...... Your hurt ......"

"It doesn't matter, you can't die. Wait for the casualty statistics to come out. By the way, Admiral Yu, is the Divine Camp ready? ”

Admiral Yu's eyes lit up: "My lord, are you going to act tonight?" Don't worry, those boys in the Shenshu camp have been clamoring to come up and help defend the city, and I have obeyed my lord's orders and have not agreed. The boys were already screaming. ”

"That's good!"

"My lord, you haven't said whether you will fight tonight?"

"It's up to the statistics to come out."

"Your Excellency!" There was a rush of footsteps, and the clerk came to Luo Xin: "The statistics are out." The public casualties of our army in the four cities of east, west, south, and north were about 23,000, and the total casualties of the grassland coalition army were about 65,000. Our soldiers in the northern city suffered the greatest casualties, about 10,000. However, the grassland coalition army in Beicheng also suffered the largest casualties, with about 30,000 casualties. ”

Luo Xin nodded, he had already expected this. Because the three cities in the east, west and south did not have siege vehicles and arrow towers, but there were barbed wire, the casualties of the Ming soldiers in the three cities were not large, with an average of more than 4,000 casualties on each side, but they inflicted heavy losses on each side of the grassland coalition army, so that the casualties of each side of the grassland coalition army were as high as more than 10,000 people.

But the North City is different!

There are not only siege vehicles and arrow towers in Beicheng, but also the grassland soldiers in Beicheng are all under Huang Taiji, and they are the most elite and strongest soldiers on the grassland. Therefore, the casualties of the Ming soldiers in Beicheng were as high as more than 10,000, but the Huangtaiji department also suffered more than 30,000 casualties. It can be seen how tragic the battle in Beicheng was.

Luo Xin silently calculated that the total remaining of the grassland coalition army should be less than 60,000 people, and there should be wounded soldiers among them. In the direction of the four cities, there should be about fifteen thousand people left on each side.

What Luo Xin is thinking about now is, do you want to start the final battle tonight?

The steppe coalition army now has about 60,000 people, but these 60,000 people are all tired soldiers, and after a long day of siege, these 60,000 people are exhausted to the extreme. As long as you look at these Ming soldiers on the city, you can know that almost none of the Ming soldiers on the city can stand up, they are all lying on the ground, and some are already asleep. Presumably, the steppe coalition army is not much stronger.

But......

Luo Xin's side is different, because he still has a hole card, which he has always kept. That was the Divine Pivot Battalion of 8,000 cavalry. These 8,000 cavalry had been resting since the first day of the steppe coalition army's march to the city. These 8,000 people are a complete new force.

But, after all, there were only 8,000 people, while the steppe coalition army had 60,000 people. The most important thing is that these 8,000 cavalry cannot be compared with the 2,000 cavalry led by Luo Xin across the grassland at the beginning. Those 2,000 cavalry are the elite that Ma Fang has worked hard to cultivate, and they have participated in countless field battles, and they are the 2,000 little madmen under the Ma Maniac, and they are not afraid of the steppe cavalry at all!

Able to fight!

Good fighting!

And what about the 8,000 cavalry of the Shenshu battalion?

In Luo Xin's eyes, it is just a group of recruits, it is okay to fight a tailwind battle, but once it encounters a stubborn counterattack, I am afraid that it will collapse immediately. Therefore, if these 8,000 people are really allowed to fight, Luo Xin is really taking a big risk, and when the city gate is closed, there is a great possibility that these 8,000 cavalry will be wiped out without a way out.

Luo Xin still thinks about sending troops under such worries, but there are two reasons. One is that the grassland soldiers are exhausted to the extreme, while the 8,000 cavalry of the Shenshu Battalion are the new force. The other is that he also left 5,000 thunderbolts for this final battle.

At the beginning, there were 15,000 thunderbolts, 5,000 were used when Huangtaiji's soldiers were in the city, 5,000 were taken away to Ma Fang, and later hundreds were used to harass the grassland company camp, so now he has more than 4,000 thunderbolts.

The new force and the thunderbolt bomb gave Luo Xin a certain confidence. While he was pondering whether to go on the expedition or not, he heard footsteps, and then a soldier shouted:

"Long live Your Majesty, long live!"

Luo Xin hurriedly turned his head and saw Emperor Jiajing walking towards the city, followed by Lu Bing, Xu Jie, Gao Gong and some ministers of the court, as well as a group of imperial doctors. Luo Xin hurriedly stepped forward and saluted:

"Minister, Luo Xin, meet Your Majesty!"

Emperor Jiajing's gaze suddenly fell on the arrow on Luo Xin's left shoulder, and he immediately said with concern:

"Luo Qing, you're injured! Physician! ”

Immediately, an imperial doctor ran up: "Lord Luo! ”

Luo Xin nodded to the imperial doctor and said, "I'm sorry for you." ”

"Don't dare!"

The imperial doctor quickly opened the medicine box, took out a small pair of scissors from it, cut the clothes on his left shoulder, checked the wound, and saw that the whole arrow had penetrated Luo Xin's left shoulder, so he took out another large pair of scissors to cut off the arrow shaft, grabbed the arrow part with his hand, and said to Luo Xin:

"Lord Luo, ninja."

Luo Xin nodded, and the imperial doctor gave a force, and a stream of blood arrows sprayed out of the wound, and the imperial doctor quickly cleaned and bandaged Luo Xin......

At this time, the military doctors and the imperial doctors above the city began to get busy, and many soldiers were injured by the military doctors and the imperial doctors in their sleep. Emperor Jiajing looked at the tragic situation around him, and his heart once again hesitated. Such an extremely tired soldier, if the grassland coalition army comes to attack the city again tomorrow, will he still be able to hold it?

couldn't help but look at Luo Xin, and saw that the imperial doctor was bandaging Luo Xin, so it was naturally difficult to speak at this time, so he waited anxiously. As soon as the imperial doctor finished bandaging Luo Xin, he hurriedly asked:

"Luo Qing, this capital may be defended?"

Luo Xin nodded firmly: "If you just defend the city, there is no problem at all. ”

Seeing that Emperor Jiajing, Xu Jie, and other important officials of the court had stunned expressions on their faces, they explained:

"Your Majesty, you must have learned about today's battle."

"Hmm!" Emperor Jiajing nodded slightly.

"The three cities in the east, west and south only suffered more than 10,000 casualties in total, but the grassland alliance of the three parties suffered more than 30,000 casualties, and your majesty must know the reason."

"Hmm!" Emperor Jiajing nodded again, he had read so many detailed battle reports, and naturally knew that Luo Xin's invention of the barbed wire had made a miraculous achievement:

"It's all the barbed wire invented by Luo Qing and made miraculous achievements."

"However, our army suffered more than 10,000 casualties on the northern side of the city, which is the total number of casualties in the east, west and south directions. The grassland coalition army in Beicheng also suffered more than 30,000 casualties, which is also the sum of the three cities. There is an important reason here, that is, there are siege engines and arrow towers on the north side of the city, but not in the direction of the three cities. It was the siege vehicles that caused the barbed wire to be blown down, and the grassland coalition army to attack the city, otherwise there was a barbed wire, and the grassland coalition army would not have been able to capture the city.

However, now the ten siege engines and ten arrow towers outside have been destroyed, and it will take days, or even ten days, for the steppe coalition to make siege vehicles and arrow towers again. But they don't have that much time left, because they don't have anything to eat. The grain and grass they plundered at the beginning were all robbed into the capital by the ministers. ”
