Several girls were frightened by the sound just now. After hearing Shaoyao's words, they lost their minds and screamed and rushed towards the door. Shaoyao was startled and dared not think too much, so they followed the few people to the door.

The two guards were listening to the movements in the room and whispering to make fun of them. They caught off guard and before they could react, several girls had already rushed to the yard. A guard understood first and whispered: "No, if they escape, how could this matter be quite good?!"

As he said that, he took out the sharp knife from his arms and chased after him.

Seeing that the gate of the courtyard was locked, Shaoyao grabbed the girl beside him and whispered: "Jumping over the wall, you can escape only by jumping over the wall!"

After saying that, without saying a word, he pulled the girl to the side of the wall. There was a big walnut tree next to the wall, with branches horizontally and easy to climb. The two girls didn't know where they got the strength, grabbed the branches, climbed onto the tree like flying, stepped onto the wall, and jumped out of the wall regardless of whether they were concerned.

A guard caught up with several girls running, stabbed her in the back with a knife, kicked the man down with his feet, and pulled the knife out. The rest of the people ran to the door and found that the door was closed and they were anxious to pull the gate. They were caught by two guards, and each one killed him and killed him.

Cheng Yue heard the movement in the room and quickly walked to the yard. Seeing the two of them counting the bodies there, he shouted angrily: "What's going on?! You didn't ask you to wait, but that guy from Cui Duying took action again?"

A guard crossed his hands: "The young men dare not violate the order of Tijie Jun, but these little guys suddenly went crazy and rushed out of the room."

Cheng Yue's face calmed down and he asked, "Is it done clean?"

A guard hesitated and said, "The bodies are all here, Tie comes here to check."

Cheng Yue said impatiently: "What to check? Find a place to bury it quickly. - It's not easy to freeze the ground and dig a hole, so you can burn it."

The two of them crossed their hands and said, watching Cheng Yue go back to the room, and said, "Brother, there are still two bodies missing. In the dark shadow, I saw something running towards the wall, and I heard the sound again. Could it be that I ran there and hid it?"

The previous guard said: "I saw two people running to the wall and jumped out of the wall along the walnut tree."

The guard who asked was anxious and said, "Since that's the case, we should go find someone quickly. Don't be run away by them. Why dare you say that you are full of people?"

The guard who answered said, "It's dark night, where can I find someone? As long as this matter starts, there will be no way out. If we can't find someone, Cheng Tie will take our lives. If we want to find someone, we will definitely alarm the surrounding neighbors. How can we hide it? If we were not afraid before, today, a General Liu came from the reinforcements outside the city, and took over the military and political power in the city, and we can't do things unscrupulously."

Another man hurriedly said, "What should we do? Let's take charge of the process?"

The guard who answered nodded: "That's right. We said that the number of people is right, and it's hidden for a while. - Brother, I really want to survive. We only have one way to go to General Liu to take the lead. There is only one way to live, and the rest are dead! Think about it, we will talk tomorrow."

Shaoyao and the others flipped out the wall and saw a pile of firewood on the side of the road. They hurriedly hurriedly hid behind and hid. Where did the two girls go through this kind of thing? They just wanted to find a place to hide, how to escape the pursuit, and what to do in the future. They had no idea.

After hiding for a long time, no one came out to search. Shaoyao asked the girl beside her: "I was so anxious that I couldn't see clearly. Who are you?"

The girl said, "I am Qiaoqiao, and I am talking together in my daily life. Sister Shaoyao, what should we do? Hearing the noise inside, the rest of my sisters were killed by the evil man, which was so scary!"

While talking, he started to cry.

Shaoyao was still looking around and saw a vast night, with only the lights flashing on the city wall, and he didn't know what to do for a moment. He would never dare to report to the official. The person who did this was the biggest official in the city. Going to the yamen would not be a sheep and going to the tiger's mouth? Where should two weak women go?

In the Khitan tent, Yelu Chongyuan looked at the generals below and said in a deep voice: "Today's first battle, I lost the sea of ​​generals, and the remaining 300 knights, and the Song army was unscathed. There was unprecedented things! If this revenge is not avenged, what are we going to meet the emperor!"

The generals lowered their heads and didn't speak. It was okay to have ordinary failures, but there were no shortage of warriors volunteering to fight. Today is different. Everyone has seen that the Song army is equipped with iron and iron equipment, arrows are useless, and even swords and guns are useless. They can only deal with maces, hammers, and maces. There are many generals who can use these weapons well, but it is really difficult to get a such army.

The atmosphere was embarrassing for a moment, Xiao Ge said: "King, the Song army has iron-armored cavalry, which has never been seen before, so it is really hard to resolve. This matter is not urgent, so it is better to defend the army and come up with a safe way. Since the reinforcements of the Southern Dynasty have arrived, we should publish a document to report on this matter. If it is just a city, it is taken, and it is time to sue the Southern Dynasty. Tens of thousands of troops confront each other, and we have to be cautious about this matter."

Yelu Chongyuan nodded: "What I said is. I will report to the emperor's brother and discuss how to deal with the Song army first."

Xiao Ge said: "The iron-armored cavalry used on the opposite side is no other way. Either they don't face the enemy head-on, and the enemy comes and walks away, drags them to death. Or they use heavy weapons to lengthen weapons, form army battles, and advance like a wall. Only when long soldiers cut off horse feet and heavy troops smash the knights can they be matched and they will not collapse at once."

Yelu Chongyuan nodded: "What the king said makes sense, then that's it. In the past few days, there are many antlers around the military camp and more trenches are dug to prevent the Song army from attacking with heavy cavalry. In addition, all heavy crossbows in the army are used to suspend the attack on reinforcements."

Xiao Ge also said: "The Song army is good at using cannons. When they see Tanglong Town's army city, the cannons on them are extremely sharp, and our army is far inferior. But the new reinforcements have not seen them have cannons. Can they use cannons to attack reinforcements? No matter how iron armor is, they cannot withstand the attack of cannons."

Yelu Chongyuan nodded repeatedly: "It makes sense, it makes sense! Move the cannons of the siege over, wait for the war to start, and use the cannons to bombard them first!"

Before the day was dawn, Du Zhongxiao was in the tent, holding a lamp to watch the nearby topographic map. This is the content of the Yingtianxiang Army exercise, and it is also a habit that Du Zhongxiao learned from Middle School. Whenever he arrived at the battlefield, professionals would draw the topographic map first. Without professional map knowledge, Du Zhongxiao knew some basic principles, such as triangulation and contour lines, so that he could make useful military maps. With maps, the battlefield did not need to be trampled. Using experience to arrange battle formations, it became knowledge with theoretical guidance. Yingtianxiang Army organized officers to study for many years, and a lot of time spent learning these specialized knowledge.

Shi Quanbin came in and handed a memorial to Du Zhongxiao, saying, "After order, this is a good news from yesterday's matchup. If you see nothing wrong, you can sign and send it to the capital. The first victory in the first battle will boost the morale of the officials and the ministers."

Du Zhongxiao took it and read it briefly. Although it was a little exaggerated, there was no difference in the facts, so he picked up the pen and signed it.

Shi Quanbin smiled all over his face, took the memorial in his hand, quickly stepped out of the handsome tent, and ordered people to send it to the capital.

Before leaving Beijing, Du Zhongxiao agreed to Shi Quanbin as deputy, but was not allowed to make secret comments alone. Both of them had to sign a memorial. In fact, he accepted Shi Quanbin's surveillance and had objections publicly, but he was not allowed to make a memorial. The power of the military supervisor came from his power to secret comments. The content of the commander in front did not know, and the priest in the rear did not know, but only the emperor and the military supervisor knew. The general was afraid of offending him, and he often flattered himself in secret comments. The master in the rear did not know the content of the secret comments and could not speak for the general in front, which was very harmful.

A few days ago, Han Qi, the governor of Hedong Road, drove away Hedong Road to take over Liao Haoran because he secretly reported to drive away the former governor Li Zhaoshu. Han Qi's memorial to impeach Liao Haoran clearly stated that if the court does not transfer Liao Haoran, he will punish him with great law. Liao Haoran was transferred back to Beijing and was whipped after entering the palace. The secret memorial could drive away the commander along the way, which shows how powerful it was.

Not every general is Han Qi. With his temper, he may not have his status, nor may he have his status in the emperor's heart. Du Zhongxiao believed that he did not, and neither the emperor nor the important ministers in the court would attach so much importance to him. Therefore, Shi Quanbin accompanied him, and Du Zhongxiao asked that all memorials must be signed with him, and that no matter what is good or bad, they must be told to his face. Otherwise, he would rather not come than bring such an eunuch.

Why are the military supervisors hated? It’s okay to be ignorant, stupid, and greedy. The most important thing is to reverse Mo Bai and criticize the generals with their own interests, so that the front-line generals are at a loss. The military supervisors in the late Tang and Five Dynasties were rampant, and it was too widespread, and the generals were helpless, so they simply made them commanders and handed over the command. In the end, the military supervisors became the commander, and many of the current military positions have changed from military supervisors.

Du Zhongxiao did not oppose the military supervision. In the actual command system of the Tianxiang Army, there was a military supervision at every level from the battalion level. However, the military supervision went to the next level and was led by the commander at the same level. There was no independent reporting power. The reporting must be approved by the commander and was signed by the commander. They have the power and obligation to supervise the commander to act in accordance with the orders of the superiors, but they did not have the power to command the army. Everything must be authorized by the commander.

The purpose of setting up a military supervisor is to ensure the execution of orders and achieve the unification of military orders. At this time, the command of the imperial guards is very chaotic and will be authoritarian. As long as the army is not directly commanded by the general, it is possible that they will do their own things at critical moments and do not execute military orders. The generals are not allowed to accept orders from foreign troops. This sentence is often used as an excuse to put the orders of superiors on the shelf. Many things cannot be explained clearly and cannot be handled in the end. If the battle of Dingchuan Village was not found later, the commander Han Qi would not have been punished.
