In this battle, the Xihe army suffered a lot of injuries, but also had many results. More than 10,000 people were killed and more than 1,000 were captured in the Beiyuan people's camp. About 2,000 people died, and more than 1,000 were injured.

On the Dingsha Army, the troops that blocked Moli's escape killed more than 2,000, lost more than 400, and more than 300 were injured.

Yang Yichuan felt a little panicked when he heard these data. The number of people was small, but with the addition of Dingsha Army, there were about 15,000, and now he was injured and died so many times. In the end, the real ones who can fight were only 10,000.

"Hey, the situation is still not optimistic. Only 10,000 people can meet the challenge. I don't know how many reinforcements the people of Beiyuan will send. This is the most terrifying thing."

"Didn't there be any news to report to the reconnaissance squad outside?"

"Not yet, maybe it's on the road, maybe it's not reconnaissance yet."

In the small courtyard of the prince's mansion, there was another person discussing the matter, that is, Sun Zhe, the commander of the Dingsha Army, who led the 7,000 people. Sun Zhe was rough in shape, but his temperament was relatively calm, otherwise He Chu would not dare to let Sun Zhe lead his troops out. Sun Zhe could vaguely understand what Yang Yichuan and Lin Tu talked about now.

"General Lin, in your opinion, should we take the initiative?"

Lin Tu nodded, "Yes, it's time to take the initiative. You come out and reduce the defenders of Dingsha City, and the situation in Dingsha City is even more critical. We can't wait until they come to take the initiative to attack, as this will waste a lot of time."

"But when the number of people outside the city is not superior, we can't beat it at all?"

Sun Zhe had fought with the Beiyuan people many times and started a war outside the city. It was basically the world of Beiyuan cavalry. Therefore, Dingsha City could be defended, but it was only limited to defending. The Dingsha Army still did not dare to fight with the Beiyuan people in the wild.

"There is no other way, I can only try it. Although we have artillery as a weapon to defend the city, Dingsha City will be in danger when we defend it to the death. This time Dingsha City is the more important goal. This choice is actually to understand the crisis of saving Dingsha City."

Li Ru suddenly said, "It would be better to send artillery to Dingsha City now. With artillery, Dingsha City can defend Beiyuan people more easily. Then we borrow troops from it, or draw the city guards from other cities, and maybe we can fight."

Yang Yichuan was also very immense. It was okay to play a game by himself. It was okay to discuss such things and have some ideas, but no matter how many of them were, it would be impossible.

Lin Tu continued, "The city guards in other cities are definitely not good. Their combat power is limited. Now they are transferred here and they cannot exert any power. Dingsha City is now in a critical situation. If the artillery is sent to Dingsha City now, it can indeed exert its power, but Dingsha City can no longer be transferred."

"So, this part of Beiyuan reinforcements can only be solved by our own strength."

Lin Tu also knew that the situation was not optimistic. Although he had said before that he should take the initiative and had some ideas, hard strength is the most important point when he really fought.

"Your Highness, the application of gunpowder is probably the most important part of this. If you want to win, you must find the possibility of defeating the opponent. Tactics are just one, and I think it is gunpowder. It's just guerrilla tactics and gunpowder, which we are not familiar with now."

"Don't worry, General Lin, I have prepared enough gunpowder these days. Even if I use the simplest and most rude method, each person can put a pack of gunpowder, throw it into the crowd, and then ignite it and detonate it. I have been training the use of gunpowder these days, and I will also discuss the theoretical usage of guerrilla tactics together."

"good."

Before you get the exact news, you can only prepare as much as possible and do more training.

In the north outside Xihe City, a relatively remote place, the reconnaissance team was reconnaissance here. Originally, people would be replaced for reconnaissance every once in a while. However, because of the urgent war, these people could only continue to reconnaissance outside.

In fact, Yang Yichuan also plans to continue to subdividing the army, scouts, artillery, and subsequent musketeers and cavalry. These are all divided into different positions, each performs its own training and tactics, and can cooperate with each other. This is the final result. But now there are only these people, of course they have to hold multiple positions and have multiple abilities.

These reconnaissance teams all chose some hidden places to rest, and even when they were resting, they would send people to reconnaissance just in case. Several scouts moved forward carefully and reconnaissed in different directions, and suddenly one of them discovered it.

"Captain, captain, I found out again that it seemed to be the scout of Kitahara people."

"The scout of the Beiyuan people, it seems that there are Beiyuan troops nearby. Be careful to hide and observe in secret."

"yes."

He hid in a more remote place in advance, took advantage of the telescope and started the reconnaissance mode, and finally discovered the Beiyuan army. Another huge team, and the Beiyuan army marched very fast, with a style of galloping all the way and heading south all day.

"There are also quite a lot of Beiyuan people."

"As such a long team, according to the custom of the Kitahara people, there will be a distance between every 5,000 people when marching. Please count how many of them are."

"Captain, we don't know the numbers."

"Forget it, I'll do it myself. One, two... ten, eleven."

"There are actually 11 teams of 5,000 people, and that's how many people come. Forget it, let's report it to Your Highness quickly. Your Highness and the others should know how many people there are."

"Yes, dog, you can go back on a fast horse. Remember to remember Xihecheng, which took a few days to arrive."

"Yes, captain, remember."

"Well. Others are alert and continue to reconnaissance. Every three days, send someone back to report. Is there a reconnaissance team west of us, Mazi? Go and tell them that there is a situation here and call them all over. Be careful, take a walk and don't let these Kitayuan people discover it."

Six days later, the scout, named Gouzi, returned to Xihecheng. For these harvesters, they still knew these scouts. If it weren't for them, they wouldn't have discovered the 2,000 Beiyuan people in the grove before. They wouldn't have learned in advance that Moli led an army of 30,000 to Xihecheng, and now they wouldn't have known what kind of dangerous situation Xihecheng will face.

"Your Highness, some scouts have returned, saying that they have brought back the marching movements of Kitahara people."

Yang Yichuan was startled and couldn't sit still. "Go and call him in. Also, send someone to notify General Lin, Lord Li, Commander Sun, and Sister Mu Xue and others."

"yes."

Yang Yichuan knew that he had gained some gains in the past few days, but it may not be enough.

"Are you finally here? It's still too early. If it's next year, I'm not afraid even if he comes to the Beiyuan army of 100,000. Now there are few artillery numbers and muskets have not been produced yet. Even the number of explosive packs made of gunpowder is limited."
