North City.

Above the head of the city, under the bloody dusk.

There was an arrow sticking out of Luo Xin's left shoulder, but Luo Xin didn't pay attention to it, but was concentrating on watching the retreating grassland soldiers.

"My lord... your injury..."

"It doesn't matter, I can't die. Let's wait for the casualty statistics to come out. By the way, Admiral Yu, is the Shenshu 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 to help defend the city. I have obeyed the orders of the adults and have not agreed. Those boys are already holding back Gotta scream."

"That's good!"

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

"It depends on the statistics."

"My lord!" There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and the clerk came to Luo Xin: "The statistics are out. Our army suffered about 3000 casualties in the four cities of east, west, north, south, and north, and the grassland coalition forces had a total of about 1 casualties." More than one person. Our soldiers in Beicheng suffered the most casualties, about 3 people. But the grassland coalition forces in Beicheng also suffered the most casualties, with about [-] casualties."

Luo Xin nodded, he had already expected this.Because there were no siege vehicles or arrow towers in the east, west, and south cities, but there were barbed wire fences, the casualties of Ming soldiers in the three cities were not large, with an average of more than [-] casualties on each side, but they severely damaged the grassland coalition forces on each side, causing the grassland coalition forces every day. One side suffered more than [-] casualties.

But Beicheng is different!

There are not only siege vehicles and arrow towers in Beicheng, but the grassland soldiers in Beicheng are all under Huang Taiji's command, and they are the most elite and powerful soldiers on the grassland.Therefore, the Ming soldiers in Beicheng suffered more than [-] casualties, but Huang Taiji's troops also suffered more than [-] casualties.It can be seen how fierce the battle in Beicheng was.

Luo silently calculated in confidence that the total remaining grassland coalition forces should be less than 6, and there should be wounded soldiers among them.In the direction of the four cities, there should be about 5000 people left on each side.

What Luo Xin is thinking about now is whether to start the final decisive battle tonight?

The Grassland Coalition Army now has about 6 people, but these 6 people are exhausted soldiers. After a long day of siege, these 6 people are exhausted to the extreme.One only needs to look at these Ming soldiers on the top of the wall to know that almost none of the Ming soldiers on the top of the wall can stand up, all of them are lying on the ground, and some are already asleep.Presumably the grassland coalition forces are not much stronger.

but……

Luo Xin is different here, because he still has a hole card, which he has always kept.That is the Shenshu camp of eight thousand cavalry.These 8000 cavalrymen have been resting since the first day when the prairie coalition army approached the city.These [-] people are a complete new force.

However, after all, there are only 8000 people, while the grassland coalition has 6 people.The most important thing is that these [-] cavalry are completely incomparable with the [-] cavalry led by Luo Xin in Zongheng Grassland.Those [-] cavalry were elites trained by Ma Fang. They had participated in countless field battles, and they were the [-] little lunatics under Madman Ma. They were not afraid of the grassland cavalry at all!

Can fight!

Good at fighting!

And what about the eight thousand cavalry in Shenshuying?

In Luo Xin's eyes, they were just a group of recruits, who were fine in a downwind fight, but would collapse immediately if they encountered a tenacious counterattack.Therefore, if these 8000 cavalry were to be sent to battle, Luo Xin would really be taking a big risk. When the city gates were closed, the [-] cavalry would be wiped out without a retreat.

There are two reasons why Luo Xin still thinks about sending troops under such a worrying situation.One is that the grassland soldiers are exhausted to the extreme, but the eight thousand cavalry from the Shenshu Camp are a fresh force.The other is that he also left five thousand thunderbolts for this final decisive battle.

At the beginning, there were 4000 Thunderbolt bombs. When the Huangtaiji soldiers approached the city, they used [-], and Ma Fang took another [-]. Later, they used a few hundred to harass the grassland company, so now they have more than [-] Thunderball.

With the new force and Thunderbolt, Luo Xin has a certain confidence.He was thinking about whether to go out, when he heard footsteps, and then a soldier shouted:
"Long live Your Majesty!"

Luo Xin hurriedly turned his head, and saw Emperor Jiajing walking up to the top of the city, followed by Lu Bing, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, some court officials, and a group of imperial doctors.Luo Xin hurried forward to salute and said:
"Chen, Luo Xin, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Emperor Jiajing's eyes immediately fell on the arrow on Luo Xin's left shoulder, and immediately said with concern:
"Luo Qing, you are injured! Imperial doctor!"

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

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

"Don't dare!"

The imperial doctor quickly opened the medicine box, took out a pair of small scissors, cut off 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 pair of scissors. The big scissors cut off the arrow shaft, grabbed the arrow part with his hands, and walked towards Luo Road:
"Master Luo, be a ninja."

Luo Xin nodded, and the imperial doctor gave a strong push, and a bloody arrow shot out from the wound. The imperial doctor quickly cleaned and bandaged Luo Xin...

At this time, the military doctors and the imperial doctors on the top of the city began to get busy. Many soldiers were injured by the military doctors and the imperial doctors while they were asleep.Looking at the tragic situation around him, Emperor Jiajing once again hesitated in his heart.Such exhausted soldiers, if tomorrow the prairie coalition forces attack the city again, can they still hold it?
He couldn't help looking at Luo Xin, seeing that the imperial doctor was bandaging Luo Xin, it was naturally difficult to speak at this time, so he waited anxiously.After the imperial doctor finished bandaging Luo Xin, he hurriedly asked:
"Luo Qing, is it possible to keep the capital?"

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

Seeing the expressions of astonishment on the faces of Emperor Jiajing, Xu Jie and other important court officials, he explained:
"Your Majesty, you must have heard about today's battle."

"En!" Emperor Jiajing nodded slightly.

"There were only a total of more than [-] casualties in the three cities in the east, west, and south, but the grassland coalition forces of the three parties suffered more than [-] casualties. Presumably His Majesty knows the reason."

"En!" Emperor Jiajing nodded again. After reading so many detailed battle reports, he naturally knew that the barbed wire fence invented by Luo Xin had made great achievements:

"It's the barbed wire invented by Luo Qing who made such a great contribution."

"However, our army suffered more than [-] casualties in Beicheng, which is the sum of casualties in the three directions of east, west, and south. And the grassland coalition forces in Beicheng also suffered more than [-] casualties, which is also the sum of the three cities. There is an important here. The reason is that there are siege vehicles and arrow towers in the north city, but there are no siege vehicles in the direction of the three cities. It was because of the siege vehicles that the barbed wire fence was blown down, and the grassland coalition forces attacked the city. Otherwise, there was a barbed wire fence, and the grassland coalition forces It is impossible to attack the top of the city.

However, the ten siege vehicles and ten arrow towers outside have been destroyed now, and it will take several days, or even ten days, for the grassland coalition forces to recreate the siege vehicles and arrow towers.But they don't have that much time anymore because they have no food.The grain and grass they looted at the beginning were all taken into the capital by the minister.
