Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 72 Signs and gestures!

At the other end of the Gaoliang River, when they learned that Liu Ling had appeared, the soldiers and horses of the Ever Victorious Army kept coming for reinforcements. The number of troops became more and more, until a figure rode out on horseback, and the generals leaned on their horses. He handed over his hands and paid homage to Medicine Master Guo.

But on the other hand,
  One person, one horse, one flag.

When Medical Master Guo rode out into battle, what he saw was a scene that made him feel suffocated.

And this feeling is not far away.

Liao general Xiao Qian was kind to him in promotion and rescue. When they got along with each other, they were both mentor and friend. However, with the collapse of the Liao Dynasty, Xiao Qian started an uprising in the Lulongling area, and Guo Yaoshi led his army to attack him. , and then killed him all the way, and finally cut off Xiao Qian's head with his own hands.

That feeling didn't disappear until Xiao Qian died in front of him.

Now, he felt the same thing again.

There was a great commotion in the front army formation. Liu Ling's former soldiers began to ask each other in low voices, and the answers were naturally the same.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for the Song Dynasty to worry about the rebellion of its generals. The recruitment system makes it easy to raise private soldiers. What's more, the Ever-Victorious Army is composed of many small and large soldiers. It can be regarded as a private soldier among private soldiers.

Pharmacist Guo only provided them with food for a period of time, and the treatment was not good. However, the soldiers themselves and their families had already received Liu Ling's money and food treatment for a year.

No need to hesitate at all.

When Liu Ling came on horseback, there was more and more commotion in the entire army. The two captains assigned by Guo Yaoshi to command Qiu Ba saw that something was wrong. They were about to turn their horses and leave, but were stopped by several soldiers nearby. Holding the horses, more people no longer hesitated. They pulled them off while shouting, and then hacked them to death.

When Liu Ling arrived at the front line, two disfigured heads were presented to him. The entire front line mutinied, and a large number of soldiers gathered around him, shouting "General Liu".

Are you, Pharmacist Guo, a **?

It cannot be said that Guo Yaoshi's operation is very confusing. The normal method is to completely dismantle Liu Ling's old troops and assign them to the various soldiers. However, he will definitely not give so many trained soldiers to his soldiers for free. Because that is tantamount to strengthening the power of the latter.

He was worried about the soldiers because the dogs would turn into wolves when they were full; he was worried about Liu Ling because the latter was a wolf.

When Liu Ling saw so many soldiers shouting his name, his heart suddenly became clear and stable.

He planted the scarlet flag on the ground, drew his sword and pointed it to the sky. He moved his waist and clamped the belly of the war horse. Under the eyes of the soldiers who were so excited that it seemed to be burning, the white horse immediately neighed and lifted its whole body in cooperation. Raise both front hooves high.

Between the sky and the earth, a strong wind had already begun to blow, as cold as a knife, sweeping away the dark clouds covering the sky. The sky suddenly brightened up, shining on the surface of Liu Ling's armor, shining brightly.

If that layer of light fades away, you can see the traces of bumps and bumps on the surface of the armor, as well as the remaining dark red blood stains. It looks a bit damaged, but at this moment, Liu Ling stood up with a sword in the bright sunlight, directly igniting the group of people. Qiu Ba's passion.

"Everyone, Medicine Master Guo has betrayed his trust and communicated privately with the Jin people. He has betrayed all of us and treated you and me as bargaining chips for his glory and wealth. Now, anyone who is willing to follow me, Liu Ling, home, will all turn around and stand beside me. side!"

Liu Ling raised his knife and looked at everyone. When he spoke, white air came out of his mouth. There was a cold dead silence between heaven and earth, as if only his voice was the clearest. Liu Ling shouted again: "Brothers, let's not fight this battle. I, Liu Ling, will take you home!"

There were many soldiers and horses on Pharmacist Guo's side, and under his urging, they slowly began to surround them, but their respective officers and soldiers were still in a state of confusion.

Why did the front team immediately switch sides?
  The sound did not reach them, and they didn't know what Liu Ling shouted. Until Liu Ling shouted that sentence, the soldiers around them all shouted loudly. When the wind blows, the sound comes intermittently.

".Guo Yaoshi communicates with the Jin people."

"Betrayed the Ever Victorious Army."

".go home!"

Pharmacist Guo frowned slightly. The sentry rider in front had already reported the situation. He looked to the side and said, "Give me five hundred riders and go to the front line to kill him!"

Zhen Wuchen was stunned for a moment: "Ah, me?"

Pharmacist Guo looked at his murmuring, took a deep breath, and stopped giving any orders to force him.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger. In this kind of weather, the kite with broken string can fly higher because it has no restraints on it.

Across the sorghum river, the eyes of Liu Ling and Pharmacist Guo seemed to collide in the air. After a moment, Liu Ling smiled, turned around on his horse, and the soldiers around him moved slowly with him, not moving forward, but towards those who were fighting. The Pingzhou soldiers brought by Liu Ling moved slowly.

Yes, Liu Ling had no intention of starting a fight with Pharmacist Guo here.

The gap in the strength of the two sides was still quite large, and he also knew what the virtues of the Pingzhou soldiers were. It was fine to stay in the city and guard them, but they would stop eating after wandering around for a while, let alone the ensuing fight.

Moreover, most of the infantrymen of the Zhuozhou Army who came over did not have armor, and they were all taken away by Yaoshi Guo. Soldiers with armor and without armor were definitely two levels of combat effectiveness.

The armor equipment of the infantry in Liu Ling's army is generally: hanging leg shoes, arm guards, inner armor and neck cape, skirt armor, breastplate cape, waist belt, neck cape, and iron pocket.

The armor equipment of his infantry was on par with that of the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty, and during his "honeymoon" with Guo Yaoshi, he asked for a lot of armor from the latter. Together with the ones Cai Jing helped to obtain, it was enough to equip thousands of soldiers. The remaining infantry are luxuriously equipped.

Moreover, after all, Zhuozhou has a small population and a small number of soldiers. The number of soldiers who can be recruited into the main army by Liu Ling is sparse. Each one is regarded as an elite to be trained and supplied with equipment. Almost all the army is a soldier.

Guo Yaoshi was probably also greedy for this equipment. He had all the armor on the nearly 2,000 Zhuozhou Army infantrymen ripped off by him.

After a small group of cavalry left the main army formation, they kept flying the flag and headed straight towards Guo Yaoshi's main formation. After asking clearly that Liu Ling was not among them, Guo Yaoshi hesitated for a moment and gave the order to let them go.

But those cavalrymen were stopped fifty steps away from him. Medicine Master Guo suddenly narrowed his eyes and said:
  "Is this Liu Ling's cavalry army?"

The cavalry armor and war horse armor were both given to them by Zhang Dungu, who was searching for them. He could also take out the armor of more than a hundred cavalrymen. But what Guo Yaoshi noticed was not this, but the fierce aura exuding from those cavalrymen. field.

Far better than the Song soldiers, and even more scornful than the cavalry in the victorious army, more like the Jin soldiers?

The leading cavalryman took a few steps forward and shouted to Pharmacist Guo: "We are all the surviving soldiers of Jizhou. Thanks to the kindness arranged by Duke Guo, we survived many twists and turns. Today, by order of the Zhuozhou Defense Envoy, we are specially Please come and ask Mr. Guo to show respect to each other for the sake of our past friendship. Our troops are no longer able to fight anymore. We only hope to return to our homeland and guard Zhuozhou, so as not to be enemies with Mr. Guo again.

But if it is not accurate, my general Liu's sword is still sharp, and the more than 4,000 soldiers and soldiers among us are all soldiers fighting to the death, fighting to the death, let's see whose family is stained with blood on the bank of the Gaoliang River today! "
