Liu Fangliang and Liu Rukui returned to the camp again, and the sky was already bright.

The two were embarrassed, fighting shirtless for half the night, covered in blood. Fortunately, after swimming around the moat, the blood on my body was washed away, but after climbing up from the river, it was like a chicken in soup.

Where is it still like the chief general who commands thousands of troops?

There were 200 people when I went, and now there are only two light commanders left when I come back.

The most embarrassing was Liu Rukui, who was unfortunately shot in the shoulder in the process of falling into the city, and almost lost his life in the moat.

Because he didn't have armor to protect himself, he was shirtless, and this arrow went into it very deeply, and Liu Rukui, who was in pain, almost couldn't get out of the water, but fortunately, the moat was not deep and not very wide.

He tossed in the river for a long time before he finally climbed to the riverbank, and was spotted by the thieves by the river, who dragged him up and helped him back to the camp.

Due to excessive blood loss, he was almost unconscious, so he quickly found a military doctor to treat him......

Liu Fangliang couldn't care about being tired, and immediately after returning to the camp, he ordered the troops to be collected, the battlefield was cleaned, and the number of people was counted.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Fangliang ate a few mouthfuls of dry food, picked up the teapot and filled it with water, only then did he feel comfortable in his stomach, and lay down and took a nap.

After tossing for a day and a night, he was really sleepy.

At this time, someone carried Liu Rukui to see Liu Fangliang.

Liu Fangliang looked at Liu Rukui's injury, and the arrow had been taken out, but Liu Rukui's injury was very serious and his face was pale.

Liu Rukui has rough skin and thick flesh, and he has martial arts. But looking at this like this, it is impossible to recover without a month or two.

Liu Rukui was lying on a stretcher, and suggested that Liu Fangliang should not besiege the palace at all, and all the remaining troops of the left battalion should be used, and then the palace would be captured.

Avenge Ma Shiyao and other brothers who died, and also avenge his arrows.

Now Liu Fangliang also knows that they wronged Ma Shiyao. In the former, he surrendered by deception and endured humiliation, in order to wait for the opportunity, and the inside and outside should be combined.

But this defeat must be more than lucky.

Liu Fangliang endured his grief, but still maintained his due calm, and told Liu Rukui that this battle could not be fought, and let him go back to the camp to recuperate from his injuries, he had his own opinions.

On this day and night, there were 6 attacks, large and small, and each time it was a loss of troops.

What made him even more annoyed was that this last time, he had a strategic plan, and everything went smoothly. But at the critical moment, Chongzhen's sword made him abandon his previous achievements and turn victory into defeat.

It seems that in order to seize the palace and capture the faint monarch Chongzhen, ordinary siege warfare is no longer advisable, and it is necessary to have the help of Jianghu martial arts masters.

Otherwise, they will rush into the city and stare at nothing.

He had to hurry to see the king.

Soon the casualty figures came up.

In these battles, more than 7,300 soldiers and horses were injured, including the high-level general General Ma Shiyao, General Liu Rukui was seriously wounded, the deputy general Ma Ming was killed, and there were more than 1,000 wounded in the battalion.

The 30,000 troops at the time of arrival went through a day and a night, and now there are only 20,000 horses left who can go to the battlefield.

It can be said that the left battalion has been greatly damaged, how can this battle be fought?

The situation of such a battle must be immediately revealed to His Majesty.

Liu Fangliang was full of energy, bathed and changed clothes, draped his whole body, and temporarily handed over the affairs here to his deputy general Sun Zhanyuan.

He and the eunuch Wang Dehua brought dozens of personal guards and Pegasus out of the imperial city to see Li Zicheng.

Wang Dehua didn't say much in front of Liu Fangliang now.

At this time, Li Zicheng was angry in the hall, and the eunuch Du Xun was waiting carefully.

Sitting inside is Prime Minister Niu Jinxing, military advisor Song Xiance, son Li Yan, etc., and it is Liu Zongmin who is next to Li Zicheng with his hand down.

There are also Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu, Hao Shaoqi, Li Guo, Gao Yigong and other generals are also sitting.

As soon as Liu Fangliang and Wang Dehua came in, they felt that the atmosphere here was a little depressing, because Li Zicheng was a civil and military officer, and his face was gloomy.

After Liu Fangliang and Wang Dehua came in, they hurriedly gave Li Zicheng a gift.

didn't wait for Li Zicheng to speak

, Liu Zongmin spoke first.

"Liu Fangliang, how did you fight this battle?"

Liu Fangliang looked at it, and it seemed that they already knew.

Can they not know such a close distance, such a battle? Although the details of the incident and the specific casualties are not known, the results have already been reported.

The left battalion of the dignified Dashun Army, 30,000 elite soldiers, three generals alone, two martial arts masters, and a eunuch staff officer who knows the roots, was originally foolproof and captured.

As a result, the battle turned out to be like this, no wonder Li Zicheng and these people couldn't accept it.

Liu Fangliang's face was full of shame, and he lowered his head, "Master Liu, King Chuang, Fang Liang was humiliated by his mission, he failed to take down the palace and catch the faint king, but instead lost his troops and generals, so that His Majesty King Chuang and everyone were disgraced, Fang Liang is willing to accept the guilt."

"You?" Liu Zongmin's anger was like thunder, "Is now the time to punish you? You say, why is the war like this? Is this still you, Liu Fangliang?"

Liu Fangliang is also a red-faced man, he was not happy when he lost the battle, but now he was reprimanded by Liu Zongmin in public, and the green muscles on his face jumped high.

"Jiexuan, if you have something to say, speak slowly." Li Zicheng hurriedly stopped Liu Zongmin and said to Liu Fangliang, "Fangliang, you sit down first, what's going on?"

Someone moved a chair, but Liu Fangliang didn't sit on it, and told the story.

Li Zicheng, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and others were dumbfounded.

Only Liu Zongmin glanced at his mouth, "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, but you said that this faint monarch is amazing, and that eunuch has also become a martial arts master, hum, but you just want to make excuses for yourself." Let's do it, it's a matter of the future to punish your crimes, you take your men and horses down first, I, Liu Zongmin, take the Chinese army over, I can't take the palace, my Liu character will be detained, what do you think of King Chuang?"

As he spoke, Liu Zongmin stood up.
