Chapter Ninety-Seven: Leaving Cangyuan City

On the afternoon of December 19, 425 of the Great Jin Dynasty, the border army under Liu Ji bypassed Cangyuan City from outside the city and continued to the north. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, the team under Liu Ji was much larger than when he came to Cangyuan City, and the number of soldiers alone reached 4,500 people, including 1,300 cavalry, and after getting 400 war horses from Zhao Mincheng, the Taishou of Geshan County, Liu Ji drew 300 people from the infantry of the soldiers to join the cavalry.

These new cavalry didn't know how to ride horses before, but less than one-third of the 1,000 cavalry under Liu Ji's command could ride horses.

After removing the war horses of the 1,300 cavalry, Liu Ji still left more than 140 spare war horses in his hands, after all, even if the cavalry does not fight, the war horses will often be lost, plus Liu Ji asked to increase the training intensity of the cavalry, there must be some spare war horses to replace the war horses damaged in the training, and after Liu Ji summoned new generals, they also need to be equipped with war horses.

Although 1,300 cavalry is just a showcase, but the equipment is very luxurious compared to the cavalry of the general court in the Great Jin Dynasty, each cavalry is equipped with iron armor, iron helmets, spears, steel knives and bows and arrows, at present Liu Ji has more than 1,900 iron armor in his hands, in addition to the 1,300 cavalry are equipped with iron armor, but also to the 600 infantry soldiers in the army are also equipped with iron armor, and the remaining 2,600 soldiers are all equipped with leather armor.

Also thanks to the generosity of Zhao Mincheng, the Taishou of Geshan County, Liu Ji put all the 4,500 soldiers under his command with armor, and left more than 1,800 pieces of leather armor and 33 iron armors, all of which were loaded into carriages and kept for future army expansion.

There are more than 1,700 auxiliary soldiers under Liu Ji's command, and the remaining leather armor is enough to match all the auxiliary soldiers, but Liu Ji did not match the leather armor to the auxiliary soldiers, but only equipped each auxiliary soldier with a self-defense weapon, mainly a light one-handed knife, and even the three doctors and more than 40 craftsmen among the auxiliary soldiers are also equipped with a one-handed knife.

The auxiliaries also had to take care of more than 400 four-wheeled carriages during the march, and the men who were assigned to the auxiliaries were all thin or old, and a piece of leather armor was a big burden for most of the auxiliaries.

As for equipping the auxiliaries with weapons, it is to prevent the team from suddenly being attacked by certain forces, such as a large number of rogues, and the auxiliaries are equipped with weapons, so that they will not be powerless to resist at that time.

In addition to the 4,500 soldiers and more than 1,700 auxiliaries, Liu Ji's team also had 300 special auxiliaries, that is, 300 young women rescued from the bandit cottage.

The three hundred young women also wore the same crimson clothes as the soldiers and auxiliaries, and each woman made a turban out of a piece of cloth of the same crimson color, and wrapped her long hair, so that if you did not come closer, you would not be able to see that they were women.

When leaving from outside Cangyuan City, the mighty team pulled out a distance of several miles, and just as the border team under Liu Ji left, Shi Zhao Ce, the head of the Geshan group, stood on the wall of Cangyuan City with a gloomy face, looking at the team that looked like a long dragon in the distance.

After Zhao Ce learned the news of the assassination of his father Zhao Mincheng last night, he has been busy handling the funeral of his father Zhao Mincheng, just today at noon, Zhao Ce took the time to check the account books of the county treasury and the Zhao family's own treasury, Zhao Ce found that there were few war horses left in Cangyuan City, less than 700 iron armors, more than 2,000 pieces of leather armor, and not many bows and arrows left.

At this time, Zhao Ce learned that his father had given Liu Ji 30,000 taels of gold, 400 war horses, 900 iron armor, 1,700 leather armor, 1,800 bows and 170,000 arrows in order to relieve the siege of Cangyuan City, which made Zhao Ce's impression of Liu Ji drop to the freezing point all of a sudden.

You, a small school captain, took advantage of the fire to rob so many belongings, but now Cangyuan City is still in turmoil, you pat your ass and leave, that is, Zhao Ce's strength is not enough now, otherwise he will definitely send troops to snatch those belongings back.

You must know that Zhao Ce is a person with great ambitions, and Dajin is now in turmoil, it is the opportunity for people like Zhao Ce to rise, but Liu Ji ruthlessly blackmailed a large amount of property in Cangyuan City, which suddenly made Zhao Ce's starting point drop a lot, which will have a very big impact on the big things that Zhao Ce will do next.

Zhao Zhong, who was standing beside Zhao Ce, sighed and said, "It's a pity that these thousands of soldiers and horses, don't think about coming back when you go to Qianzhou!" ”

Zhao Ce snorted coldly and said: "That Liu Ji had better not let this official meet again, otherwise this official will definitely let him know that the bamboo pole of the Geshan Zhao family is not so easy to knock!" ”

On the night of the 19th, the place where Liu Ji's border team camped had not yet left the jurisdiction of Cangyuan City, but it was already 40 miles away from Cangyuan City.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day the team under Liu Ji continued to set off, and soon left the territory of Cangyuan City and entered Dingxin County.

Liu Ji rode a war horse, and was studying the training of the soldiers under his command with Su Lie and Le Yi on the left and right, most of the 4,500 soldiers under Liu Ji's command were captured bandits and rogues, and it was not a day's work to train an elite.

However, after arriving in Chengyin County, Ji'an County, Qianzhou, the team under Liu Ji will immediately face the murderous Hu cavalry, so on the rest of the way, they must train while walking, and when they reach Chengyin County, maybe the cavalry of the nomads on the grassland will not give Liu Ji time to train at all.

At this moment, the team in front suddenly stopped, and after a while, Dong Xian, who was one of the pioneers of the whole army, urged the horse to come to Liu Ji's side from the front of the team, "Lord, a group of rogues was found a mile ahead, but this gang of rogues was besieging a carriage and a cavalry, and if the cavalry was not mistaken, it was the martial arts general under Zhang Ding, the dragon dragon." ”

When Liu Ji heard this, he couldn't help asking: "Could it be that the rogue general who fought with Su Lie for dozens of rounds without a victory?" ”

Dong Xian nodded and said, "It's indeed that rogue general!" ”

Liu Ji immediately said: "Let's go!" Let's go ahead and have a look! ”

Then Liu Ji took the four generals Su Lie, Le Yi, Hua Xiong, and Chen Hao around him, and urged the horse to the front of the team with Dong Xian.
