The Beiyuan people stopped their troops, and soon the Beiyuan people scattered back. Of course, Xihecheng did not just put them back so easily. There were a few more rounds of arrow rain, but the Beiyuan people who were already not left were damaged some more.

Yang Yichuan and the Xiao brothers sitting on the street have been sitting for a long time, after all, they all take time. From attacking, it has been almost a morning since they found that they can't be captured. Yang Yichuan was a little hungry, and even when he saw a fight on the city wall, Yang Yichuan was a little worried.

Now that I heard this sound, I finally felt relieved.

"It seems that General Lin won. Let's go up and see how the situation is?"

Just as Yang Yichuan was about to set out to go above the city wall, Lin Tu took the lead, got off the city wall, and walked towards the three of them.

"Thank you for your hard work, how is the situation now?"

"I estimate that the Kitayuan people only sent about 10,000 troops this time, but when they came to the city wall, they lacked their momentum. Therefore, they did not cause any actual impact. However, in close combat, we still damaged many soldiers."

“How much damage was it?”

"There are about a hundred people who died, and more than a hundred people who were seriously injured. As for the slightly injured soldiers, there are also more than 200 people. This is just a preliminary estimate and no exact statistics have been made."

"What about the Beiyuan people? How are the casualties of the Beiyuan people?"

"The Kitayuan people suffered heavy casualties, and it is estimated that less than 30% of the people sent out have returned."

"In other words, the Beiyuan people who had about 3,000 people ran away. The Beiyuan people only relied on ten thousand people to achieve this effect. If 30,000 people were dispatched with all their strength, then my Xihecheng would still be very dangerous."

After hearing this, Lin Tu also responded. "It's true, but the actions of the Beiyuan people seemed very strange. They did not intend to increase their troops before or after the attack on the city wall. In this move, they sent 10,000 people to attack the city, which sent a lot of military force, but why did they choose to evacuate when they were about to succeed?"

"General Lin means that the people of Beiyuan don't seem to be trying their best to attack the city? But they still sent a lot of people, which were seriously injured but did not achieve any substantial results?" Xiao Muxue, as a member of the Xiao family, is familiar with the art of war, but she can't understand what Moli's meaning is.

"It's really weird. Even if we plan to consume our troops, we will send 10,000 people here every time, and it will be of no effect. Maybe we plan to leave 20,000 people next time, because only in this way can we capture Xihe City."

After hearing this, Lin Tu also felt strange. When he could win, he naturally had to do his best and win easily. If he couldn't win, he had to think of his other way and reduce the damage. "It seems that there is a problem. Although we have gained some small advantages in this first confrontation, the Beiyuan people should not be underestimated. The other three gates must also step up their defense and cannot give Beiyuan people an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"Soldiers who are seriously injured and slightly injured will be sent for treatment. Slightly injured soldiers can be transferred to the other three city gates to guard and keep a watch, and the soldiers who are healthy and able to participate in the war will be transferred here. There is also a reconnaissance team outside Xihe City to continue reconnaissance, and news can be transmitted back. After all, so many people from Beiyuan cannot block the four city gates."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Also, clean the battlefield and leave the useful ones behind, and burn them together. Although it is not summer, so many corpses are still prone to epidemics. Just throw some wood and burn them together, and it is best to burn them directly into ashes. Be careful not to let the corpses enter the water source."

"Don't worry, Your Highness."

"I won't go to see this, it must be very tragic. In addition to the injured soldiers, the other soldiers also need to comfort them and give them some time to rest. Kitahara people should not come again in the afternoon, right?"

"Your Highness, in my opinion, the people of Beiyuan have suffered heavy losses this time. They will not act rashly for the time being unless they are sure to win. If there are more than 20,000 people left, they will indeed be able to win. However, if we draw guards from the other three city gates, we may be able to defend them."

"Well, I'll leave it to you. I'll let them have a good meal at night. Now they may still need to work hard."

Yang Yichuan took Xiao Muxue and Xiao Muyuan back to the prince's mansion first. Yang Yichuan probably knew about the damage to this battle. His minor injuries were not included in the casualties, but reduced his troops by about 500, while the Beiyuan people were even worse, and directly injured about 7,000.

Although this is a great victory for Xihecheng in terms of proportion, it is still in the case of artillery. If the Beiyuan people have 30,000 troops and are willing to make a gamble, Xihecheng will fall in a short while.

"Will the Beiyuan people have a backup plan and reinforcements? If there are only more than 20,000 people left, they should be able to defend Xihe City. But if the number of people is more than a little, it's hard to say." Yang Yichuan was also thinking about the current situation along the way, believing that the current situation is powerful, and it will be more difficult to have more people. Therefore, he could only hope that the Beiyuan people will only send 30,000 troops to Xihe City.

"Sister Muxue, what would you do if you were from Kitahara, in this situation?"

Xiao Muxue was also in deep thought. What would I do if I were the enemy? This is really a good way to predict the enemy's actions and make a prevention plan. Xiao Muxue has also conducted battle deductions, and the opponent has always been Xiao Tianjing. Therefore, Xiao Muxue is still very familiar with this method.

"If it were me, if I had lost so much force in the first battle, I would have to take down Xihecheng. Either there was another way or I could only take a gamble. If it really didn't work, I could only ask for help or retreat."

"Sister Mu Xue means that Kitahara people are still possible to ask for help?"

"It is possible. Since you know that your troops are insufficient, you should replenish your troops so that you can achieve your goal."

"Then the two main directions to defend now are to fight with all your strength and send all the people to take Xihecheng. And the reinforcements that the enemy may come?"

"So, because we are guarding the city, they have no other better way to use it to attack the city."

However, if the Beiyuan people adopt the tactic of rushing to other city gates, this may be a problem. The Beiyuan people's transfer speed must be faster than ours. If we do not change defenses in time, then there will be a greater danger. Or the Beiyuan people can completely attack the east and the west, and use multiple transfers to make us tired of dealing with it. Choosing a city gate with weak defense and attacking is probably a problem."

Yang Yichuan suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. Now his side is the defensive side, just like playing games. Now he is passive and the initiative is in the hands of the Beiyuan people. He must not be able to defend the four city gates on his side, just like the current Beicheng Gate, so there will definitely be a city gate with relatively weak power.

"So, what about the trick to lure the enemy? The North City Gate can reduce the defense slightly and send it to the East City Gate or the West City Gate as a backup. The South City Gate can pull the guards of the big family to count, at least in terms of the number of people, so that the Beiyuan people dare not act rashly at the South City Gate."
