"Old lady, those Liao soldiers are vicious"
Yi Fuyin wanted to persuade him again.
But Qiao Mu didn¡¯t listen at all and interrupted directly:
"Don't say it's vicious. It doesn't matter if it's like a wolf or a tiger. It doesn't matter if it's a ghost. I'm not a weak woman. Cuiyun, bring me my dragon-head crutches. Yi Fuyin, Liu Lang's Yang family army are still where they are. I¡¯ll take the first step.¡±
Because Qiao Mu didn¡¯t know what the current military situation was, he really didn¡¯t dare to delay at all.
Afraid of delaying the opportunity.
Therefore, after Cuiyun brought over the dragon-head crutch, he immediately held the crutch in one hand and put down his skirt with the other. He walked quickly to the stable in the mansion, picked a horse at random, got on the horse, and hurried to Zhending, the outskirts of the mansion. Go to the barracks area.
The speed was very fast. It took less than five minutes from the time he left the house to the time he left the house. Yi Fuyin was stunned. He didn't know what to do next, or even whether he should stop it. Of course, he also There was no way to stop him, after all, he was just an ordinary scholar who couldn't ride a horse.
Horses were considered a luxury item in ancient times. Most ordinary people from poor families did not have the money to buy horses, or even if they had money, they would not be willing to part with them. They had to spend their money wisely and on the imperial examination. Therefore, most literati did not Knowing how to ride a horse, only a few children from wealthy families may learn to ride horses since they were young. This shows that the poor in culture and the rich in martial arts can be seen from this.
After they became officials, they did have money to buy horses, but at this time they no longer needed to ride horses. They had carriages and sedan chairs when going out.
Why bother learning to ride a horse?
It would be even worse to have an accident accidentally.
Of course, the exceptions are the top pick, third pick, and second pick. If the three of them don't know how to ride a horse, someone will temporarily teach them to ride for a while. After all, they still have to ride horses to celebrate.

At this time, at the junction of Song and Liao, Hejian Mansion, less than a hundred miles away from Zhending Mansion, was surrounded by more than 10,000 Liao army groups. This was not a large-scale battle, and it was not too much about attacking the city and conquering the land, because if If the Liao army invaded the pass on a large scale, it would be impossible to send only more than 10,000 soldiers, at least more than 100,000. From this, it can be seen that this should be just a routine bloody killing training for the Liao soldiers.
The Liao soldiers were originally nomadic people, and Northern Liao itself knew very well that their advantage lay in their cavalry, and if the cavalry was not trained regularly, it would gradually become useless. Therefore, they would send troops to attack every once in a while. Northern Song Dynasty.
Firstly, it is to grab some things, to get some extra income for the soldiers of the army, and to reduce military pay. Secondly, it is to train the cavalry, and to exercise the cavalry's killing ability and battlefield adaptability.
It can be said that training troops and making money are both without delay.
From this we can also see the difference between the Northern Liao Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty. One is to take the initiative to attack every time, and the other is to defend passively. On the surface, it seems that the Northern Song Dynasty can defend every time, which is not bad, but in fact, The losses in the Northern Song Dynasty far exceeded those in the Northern Liao Dynasty.
After all, the battlefield was within the Northern Song Dynasty.
And there were many civilian casualties, and those civilians were considered losses, but the Northern Liao Dynasty was different. They invaded the Northern Song Dynasty, so even if there were losses, the losses were only soldiers, which had no impact on the national strength, and could even increase the combat effectiveness of the army.
It¡¯s a pity that no one sees this through.
The Northern Song Dynasty still defended every year.
¡°I would rather pay money to ensure safety than spend more money on armaments to improve the combat effectiveness of the army.
Of course, there is another reason, that is, the amount of money spent to ensure safety is far less than the amount of money needed to spend on the army to defeat the opponent.
Paying New Year coins to ensure safety, the annual funds are fixed, but if you want to spend it on the army to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, it is a bottomless pit, and it is not certain whether this bottomless pit can be effective. Comparing the two, naturally some people will not Are willing to spend money to improve the strength of the army.
On Hejianfu City
Li Yao also had a headache when he looked at the densely packed Bei Liao cavalry not far away, and asked hurriedly:
"He Governor, how many soldiers are there in the city?
How much confidence do you have? "
"Li Fuyin, we can only gather up to three thousand soldiers in the city. If the border troops and rescuers arrive in time, then I am confident that we can defend the city. But if we cannot arrive in time, then I am afraid it will be a mystery, and I don't have it." Too much confidence.¡±
Although Governor He wanted to pat himself on the chest to ensure that he could do it, he knew his own affairs, and if he didn't have the ability, he didn't have the ability.
They have always had an army of 800,000 or a million troops to fight against Bei Liao's 100,000 troops. Now his city only has a total ofWith three thousand soldiers together, including one thousand old, weak, sick and disabled, how could they fight against the brave and capable cavalry of Bei Liao? It was not easy to hold on for a while.
¡°The news has been sent out.
If there are no accidents, reinforcements will definitely arrive within three days. You only need to hold on to the city for three days. Everyone's lives are in your hands. Next, you'd better do it yourself.
I don¡¯t know the tactics either, so I won¡¯t bother you. "
At this time, Li Fuyin could see with the naked eye that the Northern Liao cavalry was approaching the moat, so he hurriedly gave a few instructions and hurriedly got off the city wall.
"It's too dangerous to stand on this blind sword. It's better to return to the official residence quickly."
Look back at the form.
If you can get through it, just stay here.
If you can¡¯t survive it, you have to find a way to leave this city as soon as possible. You can¡¯t stay here to mourn. You have worked hard for decades to get this position. It would be a pity to die like this.
After Li Fuyin left, Governor He began to dispatch troops and generals step by step, using all the usual means of defending the city to prepare for the Liao soldiers.
After that, it was no surprise that he failed to hold on.
After only holding on for less than a day, or in other words, for less than two hours, the Liao soldiers attacked the city, opened the city gate, and all the more than ten thousand Liao soldiers rushed into the Hejian Mansion city and began to massacre. The people robbed gold, silver and jewelry.
Of course, it is mainly aimed at wealthy households.
It has to be said that as long as they are not facing a massacre, the poor are generally safer than the rich. After all, the soldiers are too lazy to go into places like slums and refugee shacks, and even if they go in, they won't get anything.
The harvest from plundering a wealthy household may be greater than that from plundering an entire slum.
Therefore, it is natural to find someone with money.
At this time, Li Fuyin unexpectedly escaped, taking a small army of more than 300 people to escort him.
The Liao soldiers did not send anyone to pursue them.
They were busy robbing money, so they had no time to look after an escaped official. He was not an important figure. If the emperor was the emperor, they would have been able to chase him.
After robbing the money, the general of Bei Liao sent some people to drag the stolen gold, silver, jewelry and slave women back to Bei Liao. The remaining troops continued to raid the cities and villages near Hejian Prefecture.
Wait until the sweep is finished.
Only then started heading towards Zhending Mansion. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
