And Li Zicheng's first attack on Kaifeng is said to have ended in failure.

But in this life, the number of thieves under Li Zicheng is far more than in the history of the same period, but the same official army is also because of the intervention of the White Dragon Army.

In this way, Li Zixiao believes that the possibility of Li Zicheng capturing Kaifeng will still not be too great.

But if you want Li Zicheng to give up Kaifeng, it is estimated that it will not be easy, and the next war in Henan is estimated to be fought.

In the war on the Henan side, Li Zixiao does not plan to participate in it personally, and then Li Zixiao's main focus will be on Liaodong, and the battle of Songjin is about to start.

At this time, on the battlefield on the south side of the Mountain, the battle had basically subsided, and the thieves who were captured by the White Dragon Army could be seen everywhere, and the medical soldiers who were still treating the wounded could be seen everywhere.

Qi Wei was leading people to clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, count the prisoners, and count the casualties, while Li Zixiao's eyes were looking to the southeast, and he was waiting for Han Tong's news.

As the sun set, Li Zixiao directly ordered to temporarily treat and camp here tonight, anyway, with Song Xiance's fiasco, there was no thief army around that could threaten them.

During the day, the soldiers were also exhausted, they needed to rest, there were still a large number of wounded who needed to be treated, and it was dark and not suitable for marching.

"General, the casualties of this battle have been counted." In the evening, Qi Wei came to Li Zixiao's big tent and reported.

"Yes." Li Zixiao took Qi Wei's statistics sheet and looked at it.

Soon, Li Zixiao's brows furrowed, because the casualties of the White Dragon Army in this battle were even more serious than he thought.

After the battle, the casualties of more than 6,000 horses led by Li Zixiao were as high as two-thirds, of which nearly 3,000 were killed and more than 1,000 were wounded.

Among them, the Fierce Wolf Battalion suffered the most casualties, with more than 2,100 people in the battalion, and only about 600 people survived in the end, and more than 400 people were seriously injured.

Then there was Xu Qian's iron-blooded battalion, with about 800 casualties, and the rest were the casualties of the musket battalion, the escort battalion and the artillery battalion.

On the contrary, on Qi Wei's side, the attack was unexpectedly smooth, and the casualties were not high, with no more than 300 people.

"How are the Iron Eggs and the Monk?" Before Li Zixiao finished reading the statistical sheet, he looked up at Qi Wei and asked.

For Li Zixiao, he didn't want an accident between Tie Dan and the monk, those two were his personal guards before, and they were also extremely loyal to him, Li Zixiao was still very emotional.

"Don't worry, the two generals are alive, but General Tie is seriously injured and unconscious, and General Wei is also injured, but there is no danger to his life."

Qi Wei finally knew at this time that the suddenly extra people in Li Zixiao's hand turned out to be the ones brought back by Tie Dan and the monk.

For these two people, Qi Wei still admires them very much in his heart.

Although, Qi Wei also learned that the soldiers of the fierce wolf battalion led by the two of them were all mountain bandits and were born in rogues.

However, in this battle, their entire battalion fought until the last moment in the face of several times the enemy, suffered heavy casualties, and was almost completely wiped out.

This alone made Qi Wei admire.

"Tell the military doctor to let him save the iron egg at all costs." Li Zixiao said in an unquestionable tone.

"Yes."

Then, Li Zixiao lowered his head and continued to look at the data on the statistical sheet.

In addition to the casualties of the White Dragon Army, Qi Wei also roughly counted the casualties of the thief army on the battlefield.

After the battle, they captured more than 8,300 thieves on the battlefield, killed more than 14,000 thieves, and at least nearly 20,000 escaped.

In this battle, there were almost more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of the White Dragon Army who directly participated in the battle, more than 6,000 people led by Li Zixiao, and more than 4,000 people in Qi Wei's hands.

And the battle damage was nearly half, which made Li Zixiao feel distressed.

It's just that compared to their brilliant record in this battle, these casualties are also worth it.

The enemy suffered three times the battle losses, defeated Song Xiance's 40,000 troops, and captured more than 8,000 people, and the result of this battle, on the whole, has made Li Zixiao very satisfied.

However, this battle was also a typical battle of 'killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred', and the White Dragon Army paid a heavy price and won this battle with fewer victories.

"General, among the captured thieves, there are more than 1,000 wounded soldiers, of which about 200 are seriously wounded, I don't know how to deal with these wounded thieves?"

Qi Wei asked Li Zixiao.

"Those lightly wounded thieves, let the medical soldiers bandage them, as long as those seriously injured and dying thieves, send them on the road, and it can be regarded as exempting them from pain."

Li Zixiao's voice was cold, and his eyes said without fluctuation.

Li Zixiao's words were equivalent to pronouncing the death of more than 200 seriously injured thieves, but at this time, Li Zixiao was already accustomed to it, and his mood did not fluctuate in the slightest.

For Li Zixiao, these seriously injured thieves are not worth it at all, let them waste time and medicinal herbs for treatment, it is better to keep the medicine and treat the injured soldiers of the White Dragon Army.

"Yes, my subordinates understand." Qi Wei responded.

"Let's go, follow me to the wounded soldiers."

Li Zixiao put down the statistical sheet, took the cloak handed over by Quartz, draped it on his body, and walked out of the military tent, followed by Qi Wei.

Li Zixiao came to the wounded barracks temporarily built by the White Dragon Army, and as soon as he entered, he smelled the unpleasant smell of herbs, as well as the sound of moaning everywhere.

Several White Dragon Army doctors, with the assistance of the medical guards, are treating some seriously injured soldiers of the White Dragon Army.

"General, why are you here?" When a military medical officer saw Li Zixiao, he hurriedly saluted respectfully.

"I'll come and have a look, how about it? Is medication sufficient? Li Zixiao asked.

"The general can rest assured that our medicine is well prepared, and the wounded soldiers have been treated in time."

"That's good, how is General Tie's condition?"

"Hey!" Hearing Li Zixiao's inquiry, the military medical officer sighed and stopped talking.

"If you have something to say, you don't have to babble." Li Zixiao said coldly.

"Yes, General Tie has twenty wounds of all sizes, among which there are three knife wounds, and one arrow wound is the most dangerous, all of which are in the vital parts.

The old man has already pulled out the arrow for him, treated the wound, and just asked people to drink medicine for him, and the old man has already done everything he can.

Tonight will be the most important night for General Tie, as long as General Tie can survive tonight, there is a possibility of waking up, if not......"

In the end, the medical officer said nothing, but the meaning was clear.

At this time, Li Zixiao had already walked into a camp tent, and saw the iron egg lying inside, wrapped in a white cloth, wrapped like a zongzi, and the monk half-lying next to him.

Compared with Tie Dan, the monk was much less injured, hanging one arm and one leg was fixed by a wooden plank, and after seeing Li Zixiao come in, he struggled to sit up and shouted, "General." ”

Li Zixiao walked quickly to the monk, held it down, and said softly: "Lie down and don't move, take care of your injuries first." ”

"General, Brother Tie, he ......," the monk said with tears in his eyes.

A man with iron fights, who never blinked in the face of swords and guns on the battlefield, was worried about his brother at this time, and almost cried.

Li Zixiao patted the monk's shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, Tie Dan will be fine, I am still waiting for you to give you the Fierce Wolf Camp and officially award the camp flag!" ”

"Yes, before Brother Tie came back, he dreamed of taking over the battalion flag awarded by the general, he would definitely survive, and we would also rebuild the Fierce Wolf Battalion."

Li Zixiao comforted the monk for a while, then walked up to Tie Dan, and looked at the white cloth wrapped all over his body, revealing red blood, Li Zixiao felt very uncomfortable.

"I'm really honored to have your group of brothers to follow, Tie Dan, don't lie down, our great cause has just begun, I'm waiting to give the flag to your fierce wolf battalion."

Li Zixiao sat beside Tie Dan and said softly.

After a safe night, the soldiers of the White Dragon Army rested for the night in the south of the Wushi Mountain.

After dawn the next day, Li Zixiao saw the scout sent back by Huo Gang to deliver the letter.

"General Qiyu, General Huo led two teams of cavalry from the Feiyu Battalion to successfully intercept the rout of the thief army, and now most of the thief soldiers have been driven into a valley."

The scout reported to Li Zixiao.

"Very good, Huo Gang did a good job, Qi Wei, you lead the Tiger Battalion, go to help Huo Gang capture these thieves, and then bring them all back to Ruzhou City."

"Yes, Qi Wei takes the order."

Because Huo Gang led the cavalry of the Feiyu Battalion to intercept them halfway, the nearly 20,000 panicked and embarrassed thieves were all driven to a nameless valley and became turtles in the urn.

These thieves, who had already been frightened by yesterday's battle, faced the fierce killing of the soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion led by Huo Gang, and directly gave up resistance.

This group of fierce wolves had already been scared into a flock of sheep at this time, even if there were still a lot of people, but there was no threat at all.

Li Zixiao has been at the foot of the Wushi Mountain, and when he waited until noon, he didn't see Han Tong send someone back to report the news.

In the end, Li Zixiao did not wait, and ordered the whole army to march, take the wounded and prisoners, and return to Ruzhou City, and at the same time send scouts to find Han Tong.

On the city wall of Ruzhou, Xu Wei would personally inspect the city defense every day, and then stay at the north gate of Ruzhou City.

Ruzhou City's vigilance has not been relaxed at all, Xu Wei doesn't know if Li Zixiao can win this battle, he has the best and worst plans.

And once Li Zixiao's troops are defeated and flee back, Ruzhou City is afraid that it will be attacked by the thief army immediately.

Today, Xu Wei was waiting at the north gate again, and suddenly a city defense sergeant on the city wall pointed out with an excited face, and shouted to Xu Wei: "Old general, look at it!" ”

Xu Wei rushed to the battlement of the city wall and looked towards the north of the city.

I saw that a few miles away to the north of Ruzhou City, a large number of people and horses were approaching Ruzhou City, Xu Wei's hands trembled, and he raised the clairvoyant mirror in his hand to wait and see.

"God forbid!" Xu Wei prayed in his heart.

Soon, Xu Wei saw clearly through the clairvoyant mirror that the people and horses a few miles away from the city were the soldiers of the White Dragon Army he was familiar with, a gold-trimmed 'Li' banner waving in the wind.

"It's the general, it's the general, they won, they won!"

Through the clairvoyant mirror, Xu Wei clearly saw the White Dragon sergeant led by Li Zixiao, marching calmly and orderly, not looking like they had fled back at all.

And as Xu Wei extended his gaze to the back of the team, he found that the white dragon soldiers were escorting a large group of listless thieves.

By this time, Xu Wei certainly knew that Li Zixiao had won the battle.

"Quick, open the city gates, and follow me to meet the generals."

Xu Wei's eyebrows fluttered excitedly, rushed down the city wall, and rushed out of the city on horseback.

"Drive, Lil!"

Xu Wei was excited, rode a war horse and rushed out of Ruzhou City, until he rushed to Li Zixiao, then stopped, and said to Li Zixiao: "Congratulations to the general for his victory!" ”

"Okay."

"General, I have ordered someone to buy a hundred pigs from the people in the city and slaughter them, just wait for the army to enter the city, so that the soldiers can have a good meal."

"Very well, let's go into the city!" Li Zixiao waved his hand and won the class.

After Li Zixiao led the army back to Ruzhou City, he ordered the three armies to be rewarded, rewarded meritorious soldiers, slaughtered pigs and sheep, and celebrated.

And the next day, Qi Wei also returned with Huo Gang, and also brought back more than 10,000 thieves.

"Isn't there any news from Han Tong yet?"

Li Zixiao stood on the high platform of the school field, looking at the burning bonfire on the school field, and the soldiers of the White Dragon Army who were celebrating the achievement, and asked Li Guo behind him.

"Not yet, the scouts sent out have returned in two batches, and no trace of General Han has been found." Li Guo replied respectfully.

"Send a few more groups of scouts out, and be sure to find Han Tong as soon as possible."

"My subordinates understand." Li Guo responded.

"Zilong is back?" Li Zixiao continued to ask.

"Not yet, it is said that Zilong should be able to return at this time, but until dark, I didn't see Zilong bring anyone back."

Li Guo also said puzzled.

"Then scatter all the scouts in Ruzhou City and find their traces as soon as possible." Li Zixiao said in a deep voice.

"Yes, my subordinates will go down and arrange it." Li Guo bowed and retreated.

Li Zixiao was worried that there was an accident when Han Tong intercepted and killed Song Xiance, and he was also worried about Zhao Zilong's safety.

After all, when Song Xiance was defeated and left, there were still more than 1,000 elite thieves around him, and if Han Tong failed to intercept and kill, he was very likely to fail.

was even counterattacked by Song Xiance, Li Zixiao has never despised Song Xiance, Song Xiance is already a very rare talent among the many thieves.

As for Zhao Zilong's side, Li Zixiao is also more worried.

Those hot air balloons, after all, were rushed out by them temporarily, not to mention the rough production.

In addition, Zhao Zilong's ability to control hot air balloons is not very proficient, and the sudden north wind makes them more prone to accidents.

Only when Han Tong and Zhao Zilong were safely brought back to Ruzhou City, and the battle of Wushi Mountain, Li Zixiao could be regarded as a complete victory.

Finally, on the third day of Li Zixiao's return to Ruzhou City, a group of men and horses appeared outside the city again, which was the cavalry of the Flying Feather Battalion led by Han Tong.

And Zhao Zilong was also among them, and after Li Zixiao got the report from the soldiers, he immediately rushed to the city gate to meet them.
