Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 4!
  The names of several city gates in Yanjing were all messed up. Liu Ling had been wandering around the city for a month, and he could almost recognize the roads, but he could only vaguely remember the names of the city gates.

While he was galloping on his horse, he kept asking the victorious soldiers around him about their specific situation.

At that time, when Guo Yaoshi led his army to attack the city of Yanjing, he seized the right opportunity and caught the defenders' slack, so he attacked the Yingchun Gate of Yanjing and assigned generals and soldiers to guard the city gates.

In the city, Empress Dowager Xiao ordered the city gates to be sealed, refusing to surrender, and all the Liao soldiers in the city fought with the Song people in the streets. Liao general Xiao Qian and others led the Liao soldiers to return for reinforcements and entered the city through a secret door. In the end, the Song soldiers were defeated step by step. Song general Liu Guangshi did not appear with reinforcements as agreed.

In the end, Pharmacist Guo and the Song army were defeated. Song general Gao Shixuan and other troops were trapped and killed in the city by Liao soldiers. Pharmacist Guo hung from the city wall by a rope. In the end, more than 6,000 Song soldiers were killed or injured in the city, and only a few hundred cavalry escaped with Pharmacist Guo.

This is official history.

But when it comes to Liu Ling, it's a little different.

At least three city gates are still in the hands of the Song soldiers and the victorious army. It is difficult for the Song people to fight in the streets, and it is also difficult for the Liao people to seize the gates. The two sides are tug-of-war at the city gates. It can only be said that the Song soldiers are still persisting.

"drive!"

The horse's hooves trampled on the official road, throwing up clouds of dust. Liu Ling watched Yanjing City getting closer and closer, and what he was thinking about just now - Pharmacist Guo probably wanted to take this opportunity to try his skills, but the problem It's just that this timing is too illogical.

"Then there is only one possibility. He, Yaoshi Guo, deliberately wanted to gain a foothold in the army, but after he lost the battle, he was eager to divide the victorious army under his command. The leader of the army relied on the soldiers and horses under his command. The soldiers and horses are separated, why is this?"

How can there be any unprovoked benefit in the world? Liu Ling thought for a moment, stood at the city gate, and listened to the constant shouts of killing inside, and immediately put aside his doubts.

No matter what, since Yaoshi Guo showed his intention to promote him, there was no reason for Liu Ling not to fight for it.

The sound of the blade cutting across the scabbard was long, and the layers of blood on the blade darkened. Liu Ling held the knife in his right hand and lifted a red flag from the ground with his left hand.

The flag was suddenly raised, and the remaining blood and mud on the flag dripped on Liu Ling's shoulders.

The flag of the Song Dynasty.

A group of Song soldiers were stationed at the city gate. According to the order of Pharmacist Guo, two generals and 200 soldiers were left to guard the city gate. At this moment, one general was dead, and the Song military captain was left with the remaining soldiers. Buqu is struggling to carry the Liao people's attack.

The Liao people did not kill many soldiers and horses each time, forty or fifty people each time. They were probably small groups that had just fought their way out of the inner city. But one can also imagine what happened to the main force of the Song army in the city. .

The school captain held a knife and yelled: "No one can retreat. The reinforcements are outside the city. Guard here. Everyone will be promoted and rich afterward. If anyone dares to run away, don't blame me for not being kind to me in the past!"

Having said that, Song Jun has not come out to deliver news for a long time in the city, and everyone is feeling uneasy and fearful.

Outside the city gate, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and a cavalryman galloped over. The red flag of the Song Army, as red as blood, fluttered above his head, followed by several cavalrymen.

The captain subconsciously made a defensive posture with the soldiers around him.

The cavalryman rushed up to them and shouted:
  "General Guo has ordered the whole team to withdraw from the city!"

"Everyone retreat!"

Hearing the shout of the cavalryman, the captain, who was covered in blood, was stunned for a moment and thought about who General Guo was.

The leader of the cavalry was naturally Liu Ling. He stopped his horse in front of the captain, took out his identity token and threw it into the latter's hand. The captain looked at it for a moment and suddenly said stubbornly:

"I don't obey Pharmacist Guo's order. Our army, Marshal Liu, is behind. As long as we hold on here, Yanjing City will be ours."

Liu Ling got off his horse and grabbed him by the collar. The Song soldiers around him immediately yelled at him to let him go. Everyone had their hands on the handles of their swords. Only the victorious army cavalry brought by Liu Ling surrounded him. In front of you.

"All the Song soldiers in the city are dead. None of your Marshal Liu's soldiers have come over. Now General Guo is the biggest. His words are military orders. You don't obey military orders?"

"You fart!" the captain exploded immediately, his eyes red: "My brother and General Gao just fought all the way in yesterday. There are more than 6,000 people. How could he die in one day!"

"Front, front!"

A Song soldier suddenly raised his hand and pointed in the distance. He followed the sound and saw a group of Liao soldiers and horses slowly pressing out from the city. The flags covered the sky. The Liao soldiers in the front row were covered in blood, and their horses' hooves stepped on the street. One step at a time.

But what attracted the most attention was the woman in armor in the middle of the team.

He is about forty years old, and his charm is still there. He is wearing a black cloak. On top of his head is a canopy with several colored dragons flying next to it.

When she and the Liao cavalry behind her appeared, a chilling aura rushed towards them, making people panic.

Liu Ling was suddenly stunned when he saw those ceremonial guards. He had read the contents of those books on the hospital bed in his previous life, and couldn't help but murmured:

"Da Jia Lu Bu."

"What kind of braised pig?" The Song military captain was stunned for a moment, but at this time, Liu Ling had already jumped on his horse and was ready to escape from here. He shouted: "This is the Queen Mother of the Liao people!"

Xiao has always been the surname of the queen of Liao.

This year, Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao people made a northern expedition to the Jin people. He was defeated in the end and fled all the way to Jiashan. The left-behind officials in Yanjing thought that he had died in the battle, so they elected Yelu Chun as the emperor of the Liao Dynasty. In the next month, Yelu Chun died.

And his concubine, the one in front of her, was supported by the ministers as the Queen Mother Xiao. When the Song people came, she refused to surrender. She even stood on the top of the Xuanhua Gate and fired arrows with the soldiers to kill the Song soldiers. After that, he led the entire Liao army and civilians in the city to fight with the Song army in the streets. When the Liao generals Xiao Qian and Yelu Dashi and others returned for reinforcements, they finally drove the Song people who had already invaded the city out of Yanjing.

Afterwards, the Empress Dowager Xiao led the troops and began to recapture the city gates of Yanjing one by one.

Now that they have attacked here, it is obvious that all the Song soldiers in the city are dead!
  The Liao cavalry heard Liu Ling's shouts and could not understand the shouts, but they could clearly hear the panic in them. Liu Ling looked at them and could even clearly see the sneers on these people's faces. "Tell these Song soldiers to surrender and avoid death."

When the Song soldiers invaded the city, Queen Mother Xiao refused to surrender. She even stood at the top of the Xuanhua Gate and fired arrows with the soldiers to kill the Song soldiers. Until the Liao soldiers came back to rescue, Queen Mother Xiao led the soldiers and horses and began to recapture the city gates one by one.

She was already very tired.

She waved her hand, and a Liao cavalry member immediately came out and shouted in dry Chinese to the Song soldiers on the opposite side to surrender.

Captain Song Bingxiao shook his head silently. At this time, he motioned to the people around him to retreat to his side.

"We can't escape. The Liao cavalry is very fast. We, you, are the messengers. Let's go. Go and let the other brothers evacuate!"

"Walk?"

Liu Ling also raised his head and looked to the opposite side. In the queue of Liao people, the Queen Mother Xiao also looked over. There was a lot of blood on her body, but from a distance, Liu Ling could still feel her arrogant eyes.

Even if they win this game in Yanjing today, they have already lost in the north.

The Liao people's power no longer exists, but now, in front of her are the pig-like Song people. She can win back the Yanjing city that they originally took; therefore, she naturally maintains her pride.

Can a bunch of pigs and dogs scare people?

The order for Song soldiers to surrender was filled with an extremely arrogant compassion.

She felt pity for this group of Song soldiers who had no reinforcements but still persisted.

The Liao people were already very close.

Liu Ling's horse did not move. Song Lieutenant Colonel became anxious, pushed the horse, and shouted: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Go and give the order!"

Liu Ling lowered his head and saw a Song soldier next to him holding a bow. He immediately reached out to grab it, tried it, and grabbed another arrow.

The familiar feeling slowly came to his mind. He silently tested the hardness of the bow and the bow string. He hooked the bow string with his thumb of his right hand, his index finger pressed on the nail of his thumb, and his ring finger hooked the bow string at the same time to share the pressure.

It's a very good hard bow, and with his current arm strength, he can fully exert its power to the maximum extent.

"You know how to use a bow?" Captain Song asked, wanting to urge Liu Ling to leave here quickly.

"Understood."

"What do you want to do?" Song Lieutenant Colonel glanced at the opposite side uneasily. The Liao soldiers watched them "quarreling" with interest and took this opportunity to take a breather.

"Are you all cavalry?" Liu Ling asked. He began to put the arrow on the bowstring, and stabilized the arrow with three fingers. The bowstring trembled slightly, and then was pulled apart with force.

Liu Ling's archery posture was extremely standard. In his previous life, he was most exposed to bows and arrows. Now that he picked it up, no, it was her. At this moment, he felt a little complicated in his heart.

But more importantly, it was a kind of peace of mind, just like getting a pistol. He traveled back in time for a month. Originally, bows and arrows were his biggest reliance. However, he could never find a good bow, so he did not do "rehabilitation training." Opportunity.

In front of him, he had a chance to shoot an arrow, but he only had one chance, and he had to kill him with one arrow.

"Yes, but so what." The captain of the Song Army was still pushing Liu Ling's horse, raising his bow and arrow and pointing it forward, but he couldn't help but stop his movements, his face full of astonishment.

Liu Ling picked up his bow and arrow, raised it and pointed it at the sky in front of him, and said softly: "The Queen Mother of the Liao people is trying to take back the city gates one by one. She definitely wants to take back all the city gates. If she is allowed to If you continue to do this, the same thing will happen in front of every city gate, and in the end, I won’t be able to take anyone back.”

Pharmacist Guo gave him a promise. As long as Liu Ling brought the soldiers and horses back, the latter could choose his troops from among them - that is, he could form his own troops.

Liu Ling still remembered the words he had often muttered silently in his heart over the past month.

I want to be a master!

Now the appearance of Empress Dowager Xiao and those Liao soldiers is tantamount to forcing Liu Ling to give up this opportunity. In the eyes of the latter, it is as hateful as if they are trying to cut off his future.

Liu Ling wanted to bring these people back alive, but if Empress Dowager Xiao had been chasing after her with her army, how many soldiers could he bring back in the end?

Moreover, the looks in the eyes of Empress Dowager Xiao and the Liao soldiers next to her made Liu Ling dislike her very much.

The bowstring fell back with a snap, leaving a bloody mark on Liu Ling's thumb. He didn't notice it at all. He just watched calmly as the arrow floated into the sky, and then fell like a stream of light.

call out!
  Empress Dowager Xiao squinted her eyes. She was so tired that she almost fell asleep. She took a deep breath. She didn't hear the messenger reporting that the Song soldiers had surrendered. There are dozens of ridiculous Song people at Broken City Gate.

But at this moment, a sound broke through the air. She subconsciously looked up and saw sharp arrows approaching.

The arrow pierced into her eye socket with a pop, and Empress Dowager Xiao screamed. The surrounding Liao people were startled and immediately rushed to her side. Seeing this scene, Song Lieutenant Colonel panicked and shouted for everyone to get on their horses and evacuate.

"If you are not afraid of death, follow me to the next city gate."

Liu Ling threw down his bow and shouted: "The Liao people are in chaos now. If we go back together with our fellow soldiers and horses, we will not be punished by the rear for defeating the battle. Who knows, the superiors will give you military honors!"
  Who dares to follow me to the next city gate? "
