"Beep beep beep beep!~"
“Beep beep beep!~”
“Beep beep beep!~”
The sharp whistles in the wilderness made the killing-crazy Song army sober up a little.
Song army general Liu Chun kept blowing the whistle to gather the surrounding soldiers.
"Quick, count the number of people and let the soldiers return to the team immediately."
"yes."
The messengers around quickly spread out.
Not long after, the Song army within a radius of about one kilometer gathered hastily.
"Come here and tell your soldiers that this is an emergency. Lead your own troops and follow me, okay?"
At present, the Song army’s trumpets are controlled by the army level, and only people at the level of Liu Chun can blow them.
"We are the subordinates of General Wang Zhongbao."
Liu Chun pointed in the direction of Xijin City and said, "Scouts have reported that they are less than ten miles away from the city."
Seeing him say this, everyone had no choice but to agree.
After the reorganization of the Imperial Guards, the number of battalions was reduced from more than 2,000 to more than 1,000. The largest organizations were the left and right wings, with five battalions forming an army and ten armies forming a wing. The left and right wings together had a total of 100,000 people.
The soldiers chased out and fired shots everywhere.
Liu Chun suddenly felt a headache.
When everyone arrived, they found out that Liu Chun was not their commander at all.
"The main force of the Liao people has returned to provide support."
Because the order to assemble the entire army could only be issued by Fan Zhongyan, the sound of the horn could be heard within a radius of at least one kilometer. After Fan Zhongyan issued it, it would be passed to Zhang Kang, and then passed down layer by layer by Zhang Kang.
After learning that the main force of the Liao army had appeared, they could only use whistles to attract the nearby Song army and slowly assemble the Song army, which had been broken up into battalion-level units, into the army level.
Therefore, these army-level generals often summoned battalion-level combat units.
Liu Chun waved his hand impatiently and said, "Just because you asked us to adapt to the situation doesn't mean we should remain unmoved even if the main force of the Liao army arrives. Perhaps you have your own considerations, but we must not do nothing. Even if it means gathering the troops around us and moving closer to observe the situation, it would be a good idea."
But they didn't dare to blow it.
"What about you?"
The Song army did not have a regiment system, and was mainly based on battalions.
If he didn't have hundreds of personal guards around him, he might have become a commander without troops.
"We are General He Xinhe's subordinates."
Where are they now?
About twenty miles north of Xijin City, probably in the area of Aobei Forest Park in Beijing in later generations, there were dense forests around here, and they pursued the Liao army here.
"Report, we are General Ma Hema's subordinates."
"How would I know if you ask me?"
My lord, you gave the order to start a chaotic battle and it was a great pleasure to kill the Liao people.
"Confused!"
When they learned that they were inexplicably under the jurisdiction of Liu Chun, some people complained: "General Liu, we are not under the same jurisdiction as yours. I'm afraid..."
"That"
Everyone was talking at once.
Liu Chun said to the officers of other departments.
But his army had all dispersed, and he didn't even know where his own troops had gone.
Someone wondered, "Since the main force of the Liao army has arrived, why doesn't the lord blow the horn and call back all the scattered soldiers in the surrounding area?"
This back and forth will definitely cause the entire wilderness to be filled with the sound of Song army's trumpets, and naturally the troops can be quickly called back.
The Song army has more than 100,000 troops, and now there are more than 100 battalions running around in the wild, and there are also some smaller "capitals".
The problem was that Fan Zhongyan did not issue the order, and the senior officers of the Song army did not have the power to give orders without authorization.
Someone hesitated and asked, "General, please tell me what the urgent military situation is."
Therefore, the Song army soldiers who were fighting in the wild at this time actually had no idea what the current situation was.
Liu Chun was furious and said, "This is a time of military emergency. We are all members of the Song army. How can we worry about the war and not the overall situation? Moreover, if you look closely, we are all under the command of Prime Minister Fan."
After all these people were called together, it was natural that the highest-ranking officer would come to hold a meeting.
Situations like Liu Chun's are happening everywhere in the wilderness.
"Which section are you from?"
The sky gradually darkened, and since Fan Zhongyan had not yet sent anyone to blow the horn to summon the three armies, everyone continued to do their own things.
"We are General He Bin and his men."
So much so that from Xijin City thirty or forty miles to the north and thirty or forty miles to the northeast, the entire road in the direction of the Liao army's retreat was filled with the fleeing Liao army and the pursuing Song army coming and going.
The main force of the Liao people arrived in a swagger. The Song scouts were not fools, so they would naturally report the situation to the surrounding senior generals.
Therefore, at this moment, except for some generals who chased too far or were foolish enough to rely on connections to get promoted, most of the Song army generals within twenty miles around Xijin realized that something was wrong and began to try their best to gather the surrounding troops.
Many Song army generals recruited soldiers from other parts of the army. Some gathered one or two thousand people, some gathered two or three thousand people, and the largest number was Guo Zun, who gathered more than seven thousand people.
In this way, the Song army, which was originally divided into more than one hundred groups, gathered together in a short period of time, forming about thirty groups of troops, large and small, with an average of about three thousand people in each group. Some teams even had two or three military-level generals, who were discussing the current situation.
The change in the situation on the Song army's side did not change the attitude of the Liao army, nor did it arouse vigilance, because when the main force of the Liao army came, the Song army they encountered along the way also blew the whistle at the first moment, and then hurriedly fled on horseback.
