Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 5 Evacuation
  Song Bing is not really all trash.

The Song army that was ordered to follow Guo Pharmacist to attack Yanjing had poor military discipline, but it could still be used to support the scene. When he rushed up behind Liu Ling, he felt that way.

It's a pity, if only the small group of Liao cavalry hadn't been chasing after them.

Even if Empress Dowager Xiao was shot into the eye by Liu Ling with an arrow and her life or death was unknown, and the Liao army was in a state of confusion, it did not prevent them from immediately detaching a force to pursue her.

The people at the other two city gates were victorious troops and had not received orders. Even after hearing the rumors in the city first, most of the soldiers were still guarding the city gates. Liu Ling led the cavalry and ran ahead. , took out Yaoshi Guo's identity token, and the guards at the two city gates immediately mounted their horses and withdrew without hesitation with their troops.

There were many cavalrymen in the victorious army. In order to attack, the commander-in-chief of the Song army, Liu Yanqing, also specially transferred a large number of cavalry to Guo Yaoshi. However, he also assigned Song generals, which were not directly assigned to him, but only temporarily. Listen to his "advice".

"Are you the person sent by Mr. Guo?"

After checking the identity token, they knew that the messenger in front of them was one of their own. The expressions of the two victorious generals softened a bit. However, seeing Liu Ling's face, they still had to ask a few more questions when they rode over to follow.

"I am Guo Gong's confidant. It's normal that you don't know me very well.

But now Duke Guo has asked me to take you back with my order, then the two generals should listen to my order for the time being. "

The two generals looked at each other and nodded noncommittally.

Liu Ling took a deep breath and emphasized his tone:
  "Pass my military orders!"

"The general has my orders!"

"I will obey your orders!"

The two rode their horses and took a step back. Liu Ling's voice was trembling and he shouted: "By order of Duke Guo, withdraw the troops!"

"Liao soldiers are chasing us!"

Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the Song cavalry team. Liu Ling smiled and rode forward. Behind him, the cavalry of the Ever Victorious Army spurred their horses and turned around under the command, and their bloody armor reflected a bit of blood. , with a clang, Liu Ling drew out his saber and rode straight to the front of the team.

Behind him, there was a series of sounds of knives being drawn.

Three city gates and more than 500 cavalry are now behind Liu Ling.

"Bros!"

Liu Ling looked at the approaching Liao cavalry from the opposite side and shouted: "We were ordered by the emperor to attack Yanjing, but the reinforcements from behind were treacherous and never arrived. I am ordered by Duke Guo to take you out of this city!"

Everyone, the Liao people are right in front of you. They have been fighting for a day and a night. There is nothing to be afraid of.

Just now, I personally shot their Empress Dowager Xiao, and the Liao Kingdom is about to perish! "

He raised his long sword high and pointed it far ahead:
  "Everyone, I will personally hold the flag and follow behind me to defeat them!"

"kill!"

Yanjing City in the distance looked like a giant beast squatting in the shadows. Pharmacist Guo tore off a piece of dried meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

He not only sent a group of messengers, but also the defeated soldiers who were lucky enough to withdraw from the city, all rushed to him intermittently.

The number is small.

"If we wait a moment longer and no one comes, we will withdraw."

Pharmacist Guo slowly chewed the dried meat. His face showed no trace of loss after the defeat. He spat out a piece of meat that was still chewed and said casually: "The people of Song Dynasty fought this battle stupidly. It's a pity that they can be so stupid." to this point.

In other words, it's not stupid, it's just pathetically weak. "

When the deputy general heard this, he immediately said: "Then let's vote for the Song Dynasty."

"It doesn't matter. The soldiers of the Ever Victorious Army have promoted me to the top. I have to find a good home for them. Otherwise, where will the money and food supplies come from?" At this point, his tone suddenly changed.

"Hmph, those guys in our Ever Victorious Army are all ungrateful things. I am working outside to make a fortune, and they are thinking about dividing the Evervictorious Army every day. If I don't take the opportunity now to get them a few more The mountains are blocking me, these dogs can eat me like money and food!
  Alas, sometimes I really need someone who can do good things to help me, and then the burden can be much easier on weekdays. "

The deputy general thought silently for a while and asked, "Then why don't we leave now?"

"There are no soldiers and horses from the outside coming back?"

"It seems to be gone."

Pharmacist Guo clicked his tongue and shook his head: "It seems that boy is also broken. Hey, it seems that he is not very lucky. His woman, look at who in the camp doesn't have a wife, just leave it alone."

"Report!"

"Report!"

Two sentry riders rushed back from the outside and shouted: "The Liao people in Yanjing City broke out and said that their Queen Mother Xiao was killed by a victorious soldier with an arrow on the battlefield!"

"what?"

Pharmacist Guo was startled, and his mouthful of minced meat spurted out, spitting all over the sentry rider's face. He said in astonishment:

"How could Queen Mother Xiao be shot and killed by soldiers of my Ever Victorious Army?"

Thinking of this, he began to think about the reliability of this news.

"No, what's going on?"

Before he could digest the news, another military report came over there. "Report! Our army has won a great victory. We defeated two groups of Liao cavalry in front of the city gate and marched out!"

No, all the Song soldiers in Yanjing City have been routed. Where did "our army" come from?
  Now the attacking Song soldiers and the remnants of the Changsheng Army are all on my side. I'm ready to withdraw. I don't want to go over and tease the Liao people again?
  Pharmacist Guo was stunned. The deputy general behind him glanced around. The soldiers also heard the shouting and started talking about it.

They dispersed from the city. Knowing the fierce temperament of the Liao soldiers, coupled with the poor fighting power of the Song people, how could they defeat the Liao people?

This military report is probably not fake.

"No, Mr. Guo"

The deputy general shouted, lowered his voice and said, "There are indeed some soldiers and horses of our army scattered outside."

"Also, have you forgotten the soldiers of the ever-victorious army they talked about? Didn't you ask Liu Ling to go out with a few cavalry to recruit defeated soldiers?"

"he?"

Pharmacist Guo laughed and waved his hand: "He is just a small soldier, he is cruel to kill people, but how did he shoot the Queen Mother Xiao? Where did he get the ability to lead the army out of the formation? Even if he had the soldiers and horses When we gather together, who will listen to him?"

"Report! A cavalry appears outside, saying that our army has been defeated, please come back!"

The third sentry rider appeared. Medical Master Guo was stunned for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Who is leading the troops inside?"

"Those soldiers said that the leader's name is Liu Ling, and he brought them back on the order of Mr. Guo."

"Liu Ling, wait a moment!"

Pharmacist Guo suddenly shouted and asked, "Those two women of his."

"The general has not moved, no one dares to move."

"Okay, okay, hurry up, come with me to greet him."

The journey was not far, and during the time when the sentinel rider came back, Liu Ling wiped his knife and looked at the Song Bingxiao Captain next to him: "Shall we make a bet?"

"bet?"

Lieutenant Colonel Song Bing looked at him doubtfully.

"Your Marshal Liu, Liu Dutong, he didn't send any reinforcements.

You bet he sent it, I bet he didn't send it. "

"Can"

Liu Ling raised his hand, interrupted him, and asked: "Bet or not?"

"bet!"

Captain Song Bingxiao gritted his teeth and said, "But why do you suddenly want to tell me this?"

Liu Ling looked at Chang Shengjun, who was slowly approaching from the opposite side. His bloody face moved, and he grinned, revealing his white teeth.

"I will be short of people next time. How about you, do you still think you can go back safely? Overthrowing the army and killing generals is a serious crime in the Song Dynasty. If you die, your family may still have a pension;

But now, most of the Song generals who entered the city are dead. If you, a captain, escape back, the people above are not allowed to treat you as a scapegoat? "

He gently hammered the stunned Song Lieutenant.

"You come under my command and I will give you a place to stay."

"Okay, I'll bet you, but if you lose, you have to..."

"Liu Ling!"

Before anyone arrived, the voice came first. Guo Yaoshi's image quickly changed. Before, he was a general who was full of worries and worried about the country and the people. Now he was smiling, more like a ruffian military leader, kind and friendly. Grounded.

"Brother, you really brought them out!"

Pharmacist Guo patted Liu Ling on the shoulder and asked with a smile on his face: "How many people are there?"

"Five hundred and thirteen cavalry. Oh, by the way, the last general also shot and wounded the Queen Mother of the Liao people."

"Really? Hahahaha, okay, what did I say before? I still lack a general under my command. You can also choose your own troops from these people. But tell me quickly, are you how"

"Mr. Guo."

"Ok?"

Liu Ling shook his head and said, "Let's talk on the way."

Pharmacist Guo was stunned. Facing his doubtful gaze, Liu Ling pointed behind him:

"The Liao cavalry is right behind,

They came after me. "
