With the arrival of personnel and equipment, the training of the North Military Camp gradually went on the right track, time passed quickly, and another month passed in the blink of an eye.

In the afternoon of that day, on the east side of the vast training ground, the two armies were training for actual combat, which was a fight between two teams of 500 men each, they were holding shields and wooden knives, and the soldiers were considered 'killed' when they fell to the ground.

On the training ground, there will be several such actual combat training every day, but the actual combat training of this army is slightly different from other teams, the army is constantly flashing red helmets and blue helmets, both armies are slightly chaotic, but in the chaos and not out of order, only to see the soldiers are constantly scattered, and continue to gather, red helmets or blue helmets are like magnets, constantly attracting the soldiers around it to move closer, so that the army is always scattered.

Li Yanqing watched the battle from the edge of the training ground, holding a spear in his hand, constantly pointing his spear at the soldiers and shouting, demanding that the fallen soldiers immediately withdraw from the battle.

He didn't notice that on the other side not far away, dozens of personal soldiers were crowding around the big handsome master Dao and watching the battle on the side.

At this time, Yang Liang found the Seed Master Dao and hurriedly ran to report to Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing handed over the command to Wang Gui, he turned over and dismounted, and ran towards the Seed Master Dao.

"Humble duty to see the handsome!" Li Yanqing gave a military salute.

Seed Master Dao pointed to the battlefield and said, "It seems to be a little chaotic!" ”

"Qi Yu Marshal, these soldiers usually have their own team leaders, but there is no direct team leader on the battlefield, they will gather around the nearest team leader at any time, the big marshal also saw it, it is the red helmet and the blue helmet, and then the team leader assembles to the military flag, so as to ensure that the formation will not be scattered, but the current training is not enough, so it seems a little chaotic."

The Seed Master Dao nodded, he also saw that the soldiers seemed to be very confused, but in fact there were still rules to be found, and the Seed Master Dao had always taken actual combat as the criterion, so he did not comment on whether Li Yanqing's tactics were good or bad.

In fact, Li Yanqing's two major reforms in the Xuanwu camp: heavy reform and light reform, and chaotic tactics, caused a lot of controversy in the barracks, the former was not very controversial, and the light cavalry was conducive to long-distance raids, and everyone had no objections.

However, the abolition of the fixed team establishment on the battlefield was unanimously opposed by the generals, and it was not that everyone did not understand Li Yanqing's thinking, but everyone thought that it was unrealistic, too taken for granted, and it was easy to cause chaos, needless to say, and the team leader was easy to become the primary target of the enemy's hunting.

What's more important is that the military system of the Great Song Dynasty was temporarily assembled when the war broke out, and they returned to their respective camps after the war, which did not conform to the military system of the Great Song Dynasty, but would destroy the original low-level general system of the Great Song Dynasty, so only Li Yanqing's Xuanwu Battalion adopted this method of warfare, and the other military camps ignored it, and even the Suzaku Battalion did not move.

Fortunately, the cultivation master was more tolerant, and did not stop Li Yanqing's chaotic tactics, but allowed him to practice on the battlefield.

At this time, the Seed Master Dao no longer mentioned the matter of the method of war, he muttered and said to Li Yanqing: "In the morning, the Son of Heaven urgently summoned me and asked us to immediately send troops to rescue the Daimyo's Mansion, I don't know what happened specifically, the Son of Heaven only said that the situation in the Daimyo's Mansion is worrying. ”

"The marshal is asking for a humble position to rescue the Daimyo's Mansion?"

Seed Master Dao nodded, "Now I have to admit that you have a certain reason to change to light cavalry, you lead the Xuanwu battalion to set off overnight, and I will allocate ten big ships to you for logistics, clean up!" ”

After speaking, the seed master Dao handed Li Yanqing a turtle talisman for transferring troops, "With this tortoise talisman, the army can go all the way unimpeded, and it has to get food support from the local government." ”

Li Yanqing took the turtle talisman and bowed down and said, "Obey the order!" ”

．．．．．．．

Since the defeat of Bozhou, Liang Zhongshu defended the famous city, 4,000 soldiers in the city, plus thousands of defeated soldiers who fled back also joined the defense of the city, the Liangshan army lacked powerful siege weapons, and after the siege was unfavorable, the army was withdrawn to Yunzhou, leaving only Zhang Cen to lead 3,000 soldiers to be stationed in Xin County.

Just five days ago, the Liangshan army secretly added 3,000 troops to the Daimyo Mansion, commanded by the general Guan Sheng, Zhang Cen led 2,000 troops to feint to attack Guantao County, Liang Zhongshu calculated, thinking that Shen County only had a thousand defenders, so he led 3,000 troops to attack Shen County, but was ambushed, and was defeated by Guan Sheng's army, Liang Zhongshu only led a dozen people to flee back to the Daimyo.

The Liangshan army began to attack the city on a large scale, and the city of Daimyo was in danger, and Liang Zhongshu had no choice but to urgently ask the imperial court for help.

Rescue soldiers like fighting fire, Li Yanqing led a mixed army of 2,000 infantry to march all the way to the north, after crossing the Yellow River in Baima, after a short rest in Liyang County, Weizhou, the army immediately entered the Daimyo's Mansion and first arrived in Neihuang County.

Neihuang County is the southernmost county of the Daimyofu, about one hundred and fifty miles away from the Daimyo, Neihuang County is still controlled by the government, but the Liangshan Army is stationed 500 people in Qingshizhai forty miles away, this is because the geographical position of Qingshizhai is more important than Neihuang County, Neihuang County only controls the entrance in the direction of Weizhou.

The Qingshi Village held the southern entrance of Weizhou and Xiangzhou at the same time, which was the only way for Li Yanqing's army to rescue the famous city.

When Li Yanqing's army arrived in Neihuang County, the county magistrate led other officials and dozens of squires to greet him, the county magistrate's surname was Yang, a native of Anyang County, Xiangzhou, more than 30 years old, born in the same jinshi, since the Liangshan army occupied Qingshi Village a few months ago, he was worried every day, lest the Liangshan bandits enter the city and behead him and other officials, so when Li Yanqing led the army to arrive, Yang Zhixian was overjoyed and personally went out of the city to greet him.

Everyone exchanged a few words, Li Yanqing led the army into the county seat, at the city gate, Li Yanqing looked at the faintly visible Qingshigang in the distance and asked: "Is the hill where Qingshizhai is located with lush trees?" ”

"It's very lush, mainly pine trees, and many people make a living from collecting firewood in the mountains."

Li Ayan thought for a moment and asked, "The Liangshan Army in the cottage has never harassed Neihuang County?" ”

Yang Zhixian shook his head, "They only entered Qingshizhai more than a month ago, and they have been building fortifications on the mountain, but just the day before yesterday, we caught a spy from Qingshizhai, and I suspect that they want to attack Neihuang County." ”

Li Yanqing suddenly became interested, "Is this spy still there?" ”

"It's still there, it's locked up in the county office, if the general is interested, please send someone to take him away!"

Li Yanqing immediately turned back to Yang Liang and said, "You take a few brothers to the county government to bring out this spy and hand it over to Wang Dutou for interrogation." ”

"Obey!"

Yang Liang turned around and hurried away, and Yang Zhixian said with a smile: "Xiaguan has set up a few tables of banquets in the largest inner yellow restaurant in this county for the general to catch the wind and wash the dust, please be sure to appreciate the general's face." ”

Li Yanqing smiled faintly and said: "I have received Yang Zhixian's wishes, but the situation in the famous city is grim, I must set off immediately, and come to the banquet in the future!" ”

"Is the general going to leave now?"

Li Yanqing nodded, "I'll go to attack Qingshi Village, please know that the county will close the city gate, and the township soldiers will go to the city to guard it strictly to prevent accidents!" ”

He originally planned to send someone to Qingshizhai to inquire about the news, but since he had caught a spy, there was no need to inquire about some basic information.

Li Yanqing walked down the city wall, and Wang Gui hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I have already asked." ”

"How fast?"

Wang Gui sneered: "In my hands, I will make his life worse than death!" ”

"What did he say?"

"There are about 480 bandits in Qingshizhai, and the equipment is similar to ours, and the leader is a commander named Tao Jun."

"What?"

Li Yanqing was taken aback, isn't Tao Jun a bandit in Xiangzhou? The accomplice Jia Jin was killed by himself, and they actually transferred to the Daimyo's Mansion.

"The general knows about this man?"

Li Yanqing nodded, "The leader of the bandits in Xiangzhou is also called Tao Jun, I don't know if it's the same person." ”

"That's supposed to be it, my grandfather told me that Xiangzhou and Zhaozhou united five thousand Xiang troops to go to Fushan to suppress bandits, but the bandits escaped at night, it must be this army."

Li Yanqing immediately ordered: "All the armies are assembled, and they will be killed in Qingshi Village immediately!" ”

The drums rumbled, and the soldiers of the Xuanwu Battalion who were resting quickly assembled, and the assembly was completed in just a moment, Li Yanqing turned over and rode his horse, and with a wave of his spear, he ordered: "Go to Qingshi Village!" ”

Two thousand troops slaughtered out of the city gate, to the Qingshi village forty miles away, the city gate of Neihuang County was slowly closed, and a thousand village soldiers rushed to the city wall, stretched out their bows and arrows, and waited for the battle.
