Chapter 584: Out of the City (Plus Change)

In the Jin soldier camp, a team of soldiers and horses began to pack their bags, and the soldiers carefully collected what they had obtained from the southward raid, and Wanyan Xiyin also commanded his men to let the Han craftsmen who were tied up speed up the speed of building carriages, and countless gold and silver treasures, silk and cloth looted from the Great Song Dynasty had to rely on these things to transport back, as for Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan, they also had to carefully discuss how to choose the route of retreat and where to set up an ambush.

As for the city, the Qi family army has dismantled all the cannons at the head of the city, and the carts used in the car camp are inspected, repaired, and oiled one by one, and each cannon is ensured to be ready to fire at any time.

And Li You, together with Pan Feng, Wu Weizhong, Ye Bangrong, Zhang Shuye and others, guessed in the White Tiger Hall on the map provided by the Privy Council of the Great Song Dynasty that the Jin soldiers would retreat from there, and it was the most suitable place for the Jin soldiers to set up an ambush.

Both sides are busy preparing, but no one is trying to provoke a war, and there is a rare peaceful scene inside and outside Bianliang City, but both Wanyan Zongwang and Li You know that this is just a gap in the war, and after the Jin soldiers leave the camp, there must be a more tragic war about to start.

"Guo Shenxian, it is my duty to fight the Great Song Forbidden Army in this battle." Uncle Zhang said loudly in the White Tiger Hall, "Even though the forbidden army has all kinds of unbearable before, but these days they have been tempered by the war, and they are no longer what they were at the beginning. ”

"Yes, Guo Shenxian, didn't you say before that no matter how good you are if you don't experience war drills, it's useless?" Zhao Huan was also on the side, he took out Li You's previous words to block his excuse, he is now really aware of the importance of war for an army, not to mention anything else, just the Banzhi guards around him have been tempered by these days and are very different from before, so of course he can't let you go of this good opportunity to train soldiers, "Don't need too much, just bring 20,000 elites, and it will definitely not drag down the army." ”

"Exactly, although the fire gun is sharp, but with the help of the divine arm archers, it can better resist the impact of the Jurchen cavalry, as for Bianliang City, there is an old man with the rest of the army to guard, there is absolutely no mistake." Without waiting for Li You to answer, Zhang Shuye took over the topic again, he had already calculated that the 20,000 people would be composed of the righteous army that followed him into Bianliang, and the rest would be from the four armies of Zhuri, Tianwu, Longwei, and Shenwei, as well as the Shenyong, Xuanwu, and Xiaocai armies of the front division of the palace, as well as the elite members of the imperial front class, and they would cover the Shenjian archers, infantry and cavalry, so that all branches of the army must participate in this battle.

"Since the official family and Manager Zhang insist on asking for it, then I will accept it." Without waiting for them to show their joy, Li You continued, "But since you are following the army under my command, you must listen to my orders. ”

"This is a matter of course, I will write a holy decree to Guo Shenxian." Zhao Huan was not worried that Li You would threaten his throne at all, and immediately agreed to come down, the eunuch over there laid paper and polished ink, and the Shang Bao supervisor here invited the jade seal, and then Zhao Huan wrote a holy decree with a dragon and snake, and all the ministers attached it one by one, and reviewed it in the matter, and the Great Song Dynasty completed the whole process of the holy decree at an unprecedented speed, and the tokens of the command army were also handed over to Li You.

During the period, Li You also focused on the study of the jade seal used by Zhao Huan, and the one he put away was very different, and now the Great Song Dynasty used Shaosheng four years Xianyang County citizen Duan Yi dug a treasure seal in Henan Township, according to Cai Jing's research, this seal is the jade seal of the country, but in Li You's opinion, it is very different, I think that the jade seal really disappeared with the late Tang Dynasty emperor Li Congke when he self-immolated before Shi Jingjiao broke Luoyang.

Subsequently, Li You personally went to the school to select soldiers and horses, taking into account Zhang Shuye's request, he tried his best to take into account the various branches of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, and the selected army was also a whole army with the command as a unit, and the generals all stayed in their original positions, so as not to suddenly change and affect the efficiency of the command, but in these armies, he also placed the generals of the Qi family army to avoid problems with the cooperation between the two armies because they did not understand each other.

After a few days of training in the school field, the cooperation between the two armies, although it is still far from the tacit understanding, but it is not completely unclear, the Great Song Forbidden Army and the Qi Family Army have a general understanding of each other's strength; The Great Song Forbidden Army was full of admiration for the Qi Army's sharp firearms, skillful cooperation and superb hand-to-hand combat.

After another five days, the Jin soldiers began to retreat in batches, and the first to leave was the convoy protected by the large army, which would return to the north with the harvest of the plundering from the south, while the main force of the Jin army remained outside the city to monitor the army in the city; The Chinese military officials and the people of the city were all happy that the Jin soldiers had retreated, but Li You looked at the contents of this cart and felt sorry, but at most these were just for them to keep for the time being, and in a few days he would eventually lead the army north to recapture them all.

The baggage team, the wounded and the guards, the first batch of 50,000 horses and horses were the first to withdraw, and there were only more than 80,000 people left outside the city, and these 80,000 people were divided into two batches, Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan led the Jurchen soldiers and the servant army of the various departments in Liaodong to go to the agreed place to set up an ambush, as for the most dangerous task of breaking off and luring the enemy, it was handed over to Guo Yaoshi and Liu Yanzong, two unlucky people, who did not dare to refuse and had to stay in the camp to watch them leave.

"The Jurchens are almost gone, and the rest are some Changsheng troops and Liao soldiers." All this was clearly seen by Li You at the head of the city, which was just right for him, just enough to use the Chang Sheng Army and the Liao soldiers with weak combat effectiveness to temper the cooperation between the Qi family army and the Great Song Forbidden Army.

Two days after Wanyan Zongwang and the others left, Guo Yaoshi and Liu Yanzong were also ready to leave, and they did not pack up and burn the camp, so they led the soldiers and horses to start retreating along the road that Wanyan Zongwang had walked, hoping that this camp could delay the Song army in the city a little.

But Li You didn't care about these at all, as soon as he saw them pull out of the camp, he immediately led the Qi family army and the Great Song Forbidden Army to kill from several city gates at the same time, and 50,000 horses and horses greeted Guo Yaoshi and Liu Yanzong who were retreating.

Seeing this, Guo Yaoshi and Liu Yanzong split and gathered their troops, they were also battle-hardened generals, and they knew that if they only cared about fleeing in the face of pursuit, they would only be defeated, so they turned back and killed the enemy for the time being, and then retreated safely.
