After Xiao Ding and Song Yinzi went to the barracks outside the city to order troops, they each went to the armory to get their armor, and then they both went back to their homes.

After returning home, Xiao Ding practiced the exercises for an afternoon, and when he was lying in bed at night, he was still thinking in his mind, could he defeat the army of 200,000 or 300,000 soldiers and horses outside the city alone? Isn't this emperor thinking too highly of himself? That's ten times more troops than your own side!

If the 40,000 forbidden troops were not transferred, a total of more than 70,000 troops, plus the troops who were resisting on the front line, might have the strength to fight against the king of Jiaozhou. However, now you only have one-tenth of the opponent's troops, which is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, even if your own troops are brave and strong, but if you hurt the enemy by a thousand, you will lose yourself by 800! The enemy only needs to consume the same amount as you, and the more than 30,000 troops are not enough for others to consume.

It seems that this battle against the rebellion is not so easy to fight! If you don't get it right, the whole army may be wiped out, in that case, Zhongzhou City may not be guaranteed, and the throne of Song Yuanting, the emperor of the Great Song Kingdom, may also be the end from now on!

After Xiao Ding learned about the current distribution of troops in the Great Song Kingdom, he didn't know the bottom of his heart for a while. In this battle, the north and south of the Great Song Dynasty fought at the same time, and the enemy was attacked on the back of the abdomen, and it was difficult to take care of the beginning and the end. It seems that this move of the king of Jiaozhou has already been planned.

It is possible that he had already planned today's battle many years ago. What a powerful Jiaozhou king! Xiao Ding couldn't help but praise in his heart.

In any case, this battle still has to be fought, and at present, we can only lead our troops to the front line to carefully understand the situation on the front line, and then we can decide on a strategy against the enemy

Early the next morning, Xiao Ding got up early, had breakfast, and was ready to go to the barracks.

This time, he went to the south to fight, and he may not come back for a while and a half, so all the affairs at home are still left to Steward Xia. As for the guests at home, Mei Qiuyang and Bai Qianbei, Xiao Ding just told them to stay in the general's mansion for the time being, and when there is good news from the front, it is not too late for them to organize Jianghumen to send them to Jiaozhou.

Yue Yurou saw that Xiao Ding was going to the front line to fight, and she had to go with her, but Xiao Ding dissuaded him to no avail, so she had to nod her head and agree.

Today's Xiao Ding, wearing a helmet and armor, is dressed in a military uniform, plus he is already tall and mighty, after wearing the armor, he looks even more majestic and has a good temperament.

He brought all the weapons he had with him, as well as all kinds of pills, all of which were packed into the package, along with a change of clothes, water bags, dry food, and so on.

Yue Yurou entrusted all the affairs of Yuqingmen to Yuyingzi and several other old Taoist aunts to take charge of. She also brought a carry-on bag, then rode on her horse and followed Xiao Ding out of the city to the barracks.

Song Yinzi also got up early today, and after bringing his belongings, he also came to the barracks.

This time, the army set out, not only all the soldiers will go to the front line, but also bring a lot of food, grass, materials, ordnance and other things.

These things were all prepared yesterday. After Xiao Ding arrived at the barracks in the morning, after inspecting the circle, he found that there were many large and medium-sized crossbows among the ordnance he carried.

Xiao Ding was secretly happy, he knew that the power of this Lianzhu crossbow should not be underestimated. In the Yongzhou battlefield before, the reason why he was able to repel the army of the Great Xia Kingdom was due to the contribution of this Lianzhu crossbow.

It turned out that since Gao Wanjun came back with the troops, he had reported to the imperial court, explaining the great use of the Lianzhu crossbow, so the emperor instructed Gao Geyu to arrange for the military department to produce this weapon in large quantities and strive to equip it with the whole army.

However, most of the money allocated by the imperial court was embezzled by Gao Geyu and put into his own pocket, which led to the fact that the Lianzhu crossbow arranged by the Ministry of War during this period was only enough to equip the number of guards in Zhongzhou City.

Therefore, at present, only the 40,000 forbidden troops taken away by Gao Wanjun and Luo Simao, and the 10,000 forbidden troops left behind have Lianzhu crossbows.

Xiao Ding didn't know the details of this, so he told the officer who rhymed with the ordnance that he had to bring all the crossbows with him. Then, the officer told Xiao Ding that there were only these carried by the forbidden army now, and there was no other stock.

When Xiao Ding heard this, he had no choice but to give up, thinking to himself, if these 30,000 people had a Lianzhu crossbow, it would be not a small strength, but he might not be afraid of the army of the king of Jiaozhou.

It didn't take long for the hour to come. After Song Yinzi routinely counted the troops and generals, he found that the other deputy marshal Gao Xunnei did not arrive on time, and even Yang Yueling, who was talking loudly, also arrived on time.

Xiao Ding frowned again, and said in his heart that this pseudo-mother always destroys military discipline, why didn't Song Yinzi punish him?

So Xiao Ding secretly asked about this in Song Yinzi's ear, and Song Yinzi shook his head helplessly, and said in a low voice: "He is the son of Gao Ge Yu Gao Taiwei, Gao Ge Yu is in charge of the military command of the whole country, my father still has to rely on him to sit on the throne, if I cure his son's sin, I am afraid Gao Ge Yu will not give up." ”

When Xiao Ding heard this, he secretly realized in his heart that it was not easy to be an emperor, and his ministers were in high and powerful positions, and even the emperor did not dare to offend. If he is in a hurry, he will rebel, and the military power of the whole country will be in the hands of Gao Geyu, and the emperor will have no way to take him.

Since Gao Jiannei did not arrive on time, Xiao Ding decided that there was no need to continue waiting for him, and ordered: "The army starts camping and marching!" ”

Then each general commanded his soldiers and began to set up camp and march towards Jishui County in the south of Zhongzhou.

For a time, the war drums in the army were all famous, the flags were waving, and the morale was magnificent!

Song Yinzi is wearing a golden helmet and gold armor today, although his martial arts skills are not very good, but when he received the armor in the armory, he also received a golden spear by the way, which was hung on the horse's weapon hook, which looked decent. He already has the image of a handsome son, and after putting on armor and weapons, he looks even more elegant and graceful, and has the demeanor of a Confucian general.

Xiao Ding rode side by side with him, but he was tall and big, and his large mace was hung on the horse, which made him even more majestic and majestic! He looks more like a real general.

After three or four days of marching, the army had come to the vicinity of Jishui County. Along the way, they saw many refugees fleeing from the south to the north, many of whom dragged their families with their families, big bags and small bags, and traveled long distances, which was really hard!

Since ancient times, whenever there is a war, it is always these ordinary people who live at the bottom who suffer the most.

Xiao Ding saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but think to himself, I don't know how long it will take to finish this war?
