Chapter 80: The Rogue Escapes
Not only did Li Guan feel incredible, but even Zhang Ding, the dragon of the sky, felt defeated, even if the cavalry under his command couldn't beat the cavalry of the official army, but there were still tens of thousands of foot soldiers under his command, how could he let the officers and troops of less than 3,000 be defeated in such a short time?
Seeing Zhang Ding, who was a little angry, Wu Liang, who had been following Zhang Ding's side, couldn't help but pouted secretly, a group of rabble, if it was the elites he had led in the forbidden army before, maybe he only needed 2,000 foot soldiers, and he was fully capable of defeating Zhang Ding's 30,000 soldiers and horses.

In fact, if it weren't for Zhang Ding's grip on Wu Liang's handle, Wu Liang would not have been able to take refuge in a cruel and ruthless rogue leader like Zhang Ding, so although Wu Liang became Zhang Ding's general, Wu Liang did not show his ability to train soldiers in the forbidden army, and Zhang Ding was also wary of Wu Liang, and did not equip Wu Liang with soldiers and horses directly under him.
Retreated to the Liukou camp in the south outside Cangyuan City, Zhang Ding asked his subordinate generals to count, and suddenly felt distressed enough, and finally met the tens of thousands of foot soldiers and all the cavalry who came to help the official army, and those who could escape back to the Liukou camp in the south outside Cangyuan City were only one hundred and twenty-five cavalry and nearly 4,000 foot soldiers, and the others either became corpses, or became prisoners of the official army, and some Liukou cavalry fled directly.
A confidant general of Zhang Ding immediately suggested to Zhang Ding: "Great commander, this official army that came to help, not the soldiers and horses of Quyang County and Lingcheng County can be compared, it is definitely an elite army of the imperial court, we have lost tens of thousands of sons and daughters in Cangyuan City, and today this time, we have lost more than 6,000, we can no longer fight, and if we continue to fight, our old capital will be lost here in Cangyuan City, please think twice!" ”
Another Zhang Ding's confidant general also followed suit: "Grand Commander, withdraw!" Leave Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, now that the Great Jin is getting more and more chaotic, when we have more sons and daughters in our hands, it is not too late to attack Cangyuan City again! ”
Zhang Ding's face was extremely gloomy, he knew that the advice of the two henchmen was correct, but this attack on Cangyuan City, but in order to get the great beauty who made him fascinated, if he retreated now, the big beauty would not be able to reach his hands for a while, and he was really a little unwilling.
That big beauty and her sister are not just let Zhang Ding handle it, otherwise according to Zhang Ding's temperament, she would have snatched the two sisters into her hands a long time ago, and she didn't have to take all the soldiers and horses to storm the county capital of Cangyuan City.
It's a pity that it doesn't seem to work if he doesn't retreat now, Zhang Ding can become the leader of tens of thousands of rogues, and he is not a straw bag, Zhang Ding knows very well in his heart that if the strength in his hands is exhausted, then everything will be over, and the big beauty herself will never want to get involved.
So Zhang Ding didn't think about it for long, and immediately said: "The people from the south, west, and north camps outside Cangyuan City immediately retreated to the east camp at night, and then we retreated overnight!" Here in Cangyuan City, I, Qingtian Dragon Zhang Ding, will definitely come back! ”
Wu Liang, who was beside Zhang Ding, listened to Zhang Ding's retreat order, and couldn't help but have a thoughtful gleam in his eyes.
Liu Ji was in the camp that had just been built in the south outside Cangyuan City, and said to the generals with a smile: "Just arrived in Cangyuan City, we made a lot of money, just a rough count, just captured nearly 3,000 people, and also captured a large number of weapons and armor, and our loss is less than 200 people, it can be described as a big victory!" According to the order of the captain of this school, all ordinary soldiers participating in the battle will be rewarded with one tael of silver, two taels of silver for the commander, three taels of silver for the chief, five taels of silver for the team leader, eight taels of silver for the commander of the tun, and fifty taels of silver for each of you! ”
Liu Ji is really very happy, although he didn't look at the so-called 30,000 rogue soldiers of Qingtian Dragon Zhang Ding, but after all, it was 30,000 young and strong men, and there was still some pressure, but after today's war, Liu Ji had 100% confidence in rescuing Cangyuan City.
And Liu Ji's commander, chief, team rate and tun commander are all promoted from the soldiers, the soldiers brought out from Qi County, as long as they are alive, now the lowest is also a captain, Liu Ji's reward this time is equivalent to a month's military salary for the soldiers, even all the generals under Liu Ji's command also have military salaries, every month is twenty taels of silver, this reward is equivalent to two and a half months of military salaries for the generals.
This kind of military salary is not low, even if it is the forbidden army with the most military salaries in the Great Jin army, the soldiers and officers of the same level have to be less than the soldiers and officers under Liu Ji, which is also one of the important reasons why the 2,500 soldiers under Liu Ji have begun to have combat effectiveness in more than 20 days.
What made Liu Ji even more excited was that when he cleaned up the battlefield just now, Liu Ji personally walked around the entire battlefield under the protection of Chen Hao and Yang Xiong, and got 3740 soul points at once, plus the original 1405 soul points, which made Liu Ji's soul value break through the 5,000 mark at once and became 5145 points.
Su Lie pondered for a while and said: "Lord, the Liukou is a Liukou after all, our first battle this time is equivalent to eating more than 6,000 people of the Heavenly Dragon Zhang Ding, and counting the Liukou cavalry killed before, we have eliminated Zhang Ding's 7,000 soldiers and horses, and the Liukou attacked Cangyuan City these days, the loss must not be small, and the subordinates think that Zhang Ding will slip away if he can't do it well!" ”
As soon as Su Lie's words fell, the cavalry responsible for monitoring the Liukou camp reported that the Liukou camps in the south, west, and north outside Cangyuan City all took advantage of the night to retreat to the Liukou camp in the east outside Cangyuan City.
Liu Ji smiled and said to the generals: "Sure enough, as Su Lie said, it seems that the dragon Zhang Ding is going to run, what should we do next?" Did you take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle and eat this rogue directly? ”
At this time, Le Yi said: "Lord, although the rogue is a rabble, but there must be at least one or twenty thousand soldiers, if we insist on eating this rogue, maybe we will have to pay a lot of price, the rabbit will bite when it is in a hurry." ”
Su Lie also said: "Lord, we are mainly here to relieve the siege of Cangyuan City this time, and the most important thing is to rescue Cangyuan City, as for Zhang Ding's gangsters, we can't fight them to the end, we are just going to clear out some rogues to enhance our strength, and we have to choose a smaller rogue!" ”
As soon as Liu Ji heard Su Lie and Le Yi's words, he gave up the idea of continuing to attack Zhang Ding's gangsters, "Since that's the case, let the cavalry continue to monitor Zhang Ding's gangsters, don't let them play any tricks!" By the way, the nearly 3,000 prisoners were still screened according to the old rules, and as long as they were not the most heinous criminals, they were incorporated into our ranks. ”
On the night of December 15, 425 of the Great Jin Dynasty, Zhang Ding, the dragon of the sky, took the remnants of tens of thousands of Liukou and evacuated Cangyuan City at night, and there were less than 13,000 young men left in the tens of thousands of Liukou, and Cangyuan City, which had been besieged for six days, finally turned the corner.
