Several girls were frightened by the voice just now, and as soon as they heard Peony speak, they lost their minds, screamed, and rushed to the door together. Peony was startled, didn't dare to think about it, and rushed to the door with a few people.

The two guards were listening to the movement in the room, whispering and laughing for fun. This time I was caught off guard, and before I could react, several girls had already rushed to the yard. One of the guards understood first and whispered, "It's not good, if they escape, how can this matter be just?!" ”

As he spoke, he took out the sharp knife from his bosom and strode after it.

Seeing that the courtyard door was locked, Peony grabbed the girl next to her and said in a low voice: "Jump off the wall, only by jumping off the wall can you escape!" ”

After speaking, he couldn't help but say, and pulled the girl to the wall. There is a large walnut tree next to the wall, with its branches vertical and horizontal, which is very easy to climb. The two girls, not knowing where they got the strength, grabbed the branches, flew up the trees, stepped on the wall, and jumped out of the wall regardless of their flying bodies.

A guard caught up with the girls who were running, stabbed her in the back, kicked people down with his foot, and pulled the knife out. The rest of the people ran to the door, only to find that the gate was closed, and they couldn't open the courtyard door in a hurry, and they were chased by two guards, and one of them was killed with a knife.

Cheng Yue heard movement in the room, walked quickly to the courtyard, saw the two of them counting the corpses there, and shouted angrily: "What's the matter?!" Didn't you wait a while, but Cui Duying's guy will do it again?! ”

A guard forked his hand: "The little ones didn't dare to disobey the decree of Ti Zhijun, but these cheap billets suddenly went crazy and rushed out of the room." ”

Cheng Yue's face softened and asked, "Is it still clean?" ”

One of the guards hesitated and said, "The corpses are all here, and the commander will come over to check them." ”

Cheng Yue said impatiently: "Check what?" Quickly find a place to bury it. - It's not easy to dig a pit in the ground, so let's set it on fire. ”

The two crossed their hands and said yes, watching Cheng Yue go back to the house, and the other said, "Brother, obviously there are still two missing corpses." In the dark shadow, I saw as if someone was running towards the wall, and I heard a sound, didn't I run over there and hide? ”

The previous guard said, "I saw two of them running to the wall and jumping down the walnut tree. ”

The guard who asked hurriedly said, "In this case, we should go to find someone quickly, and we don't want to be run away by them." How dare you say that there are all the people? ”

The guard who replied said, "It's dark at night, where can I find someone?" As long as this matter is opened, there will be no way to live. If we can't find anyone, Cheng Ti Ha will take our lives. And if you want to find people, you must alarm the surrounding neighbors, where can you hide it? If you were not afraid before, but today there is a General Liu from outside the city, who has taken over the military and political power in the city, and he can't do things unscrupulously. ”

Another person hurriedly said, "What should I do?" Conceal the process of concealment? ”

The guard who answered nodded, "Exactly. We said that the number of people was right, and it was a moment to conceal it. - Brother, if we really want to live, we have only one way, to go to General Liu. This is the only way to live, and the rest is a dead end! Think about it, tomorrow we will speak. ”

The two of them climbed out of the wall, saw a pyre on the side of the road, and hurriedly hid behind. How did two girls go through this kind of thing? As long as he finds a place to hide, he has no clue how to escape the pursuit and what to do in the future.

After hiding for a long time, no one came out to search for her, and Peony asked the girl next to her: "I can't see your face clearly in a hurry, which one are you?" ”

The girl said, "I'm Qiaoqiao, and we talk together every day." Sister Peony, what should we do? Hearing the sound inside, the rest of the sisters were all killed by the wicked man, so scary! ”

As he spoke, he burst into tears.

Peony still looked around, only the night was blank, only the lights on the city wall flashed, and she didn't know what to do for a while. The person who did this was the biggest official in the city, and he didn't go to the yamen to get into the mouth of a tiger? Where should two weak women go?

The Khitan Tent, Yelu Chongyuan looked at the generals below with a dark face, and said in a deep voice: "In today's first battle, I lost the general Haili, and the rest of the knights were more than 300, and the Song army was unscathed, which is unprecedented!" If this revenge is not avenged, what face will we face to see the saints! ”

The generals bowed their heads and did not speak. It's just a general failure, there is no shortage of warriors who volunteered to fight, but today is different. Everyone saw that the Song army was equipped with iron equipment, arrows were useless, and even knives and guns were useless, and they could only be dealt with with by hammers, hammers, and maces. There are many generals who can make good use of these weapons, but it is really too difficult to put together such an army.

The atmosphere was embarrassed for a while, and Xiao Ge said: "King, the Song army has ironclad cavalry, which has never been seen before, and it is really difficult to break. This matter is urgent, so it is better to hold on to the military formation and come up with a safe way. Now that the reinforcements of the Southern Dynasty have arrived, a document should be issued to Yunnei Prefecture to clarify the matter. If it's just a city, if you take it, you will take it, and you will slowly fight a lawsuit with the Southern Dynasty. Tens of thousands of troops confronted each other, and this matter had to be cautious. ”

Yelu Chongyuan nodded: "That's right." I will report to the imperial brother and discuss how to deal with the Song army first. ”

Xiao Ge said: "The ironclad cavalry used on the opposite side has no other way, either they don't confront them head-on, and the enemy comes and I go, dragging them to death." Either they use heavy weapons to lengthen their weapons, form a military battle, and advance like a wall. The long soldiers cut off the horses and feet, and the heavy soldiers smashed the knights, so that they could be matched, and they would not be defeated at the first touch. ”

Yelu Chongyuan nodded: "What the king said makes sense, so be it." In the past few days, more antlers were set up around the military camp and more trenches were dug to prevent the Song army from attacking with heavy cavalry. In addition, the heavy crossbows in the army were all used to reinforce the army, and the siege was suspended. ”

Xiao Ge said again: "The Song army makes good use of artillery, looking at the military city of Tanglong Town, the artillery on it is extremely sharp, and our army is far inferior. And the new reinforcements, they did not see that they had artillery. Can the siege artillery be used to attack reinforcements? No matter how iron armor is, it can't block a cannon blow. ”

Yelu Chongyuan nodded again and again: "Reasonable, reasonable!" Move the siege artillery over, wait for the battle to start, and bombard them with artillery first! ”

Before dawn, Du Zhongxiao was in the tent, holding the lamp to look at the nearby topographic map. This is the content of the battalion field and the army drill, and it is also the habit that Du Zhongxiao learned from the middle school, every time he goes to the battlefield, there are professionals to draw a topographic map. Without professional map knowledge, Du Zhongxiao knew some of the general principles, such as triangulation and contour lines, so that he could produce a usable military map. With a map, the battlefield does not need to be walked, and the battle formation is arranged with the help of experience, and it becomes knowledge with theoretical guidance. The battalion and field army organizes officers to study all year round, and a lot of time is spent learning these specialized knowledge.

Shi Quanbin came in, handed a piece of music in his hand to Du Zhongxiao, and said: "To be made, this is the good news of yesterday's match, if you see nothing wrong, you can sign it and send it to the capital." The victory in the first battle should boost the morale of the officials and ministers. ”

Du Zhongxiao took it and took a cursory look, although it was slightly exaggerated, there was no discrepancy in the facts, so he signed it.

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

Before leaving Beijing, Du Zhongxiao agreed to Shi Quanbin as a deputy, but he was not allowed to play secretly alone, and all the chapters must be signed by two people. In fact, he accepted Shi Quanbin's surveillance, and if there was any objection, he could openly raise it, but he was not allowed to play it himself. The power of the supervising army comes greatly from its secret power, the content of which the commander in front does not know, the ruler in the rear does not know, only the emperor and the supervising army know. The general was afraid of offending him, and said bad things about himself in the secret music, often flattering. The rear Zaizhi didn't know the content of the secret recital, and he couldn't speak for the generals in front, which was very harmful.

A few days ago, Han Qi, the envoy of Hedong Road, drove away Liao Haoran, because he secretly drove away the previous envoy Li Zhaoshu. Han Qi's impeachment of Liao Haoran clearly stated that if the imperial court did not transfer Liao Haoran away, he would be severely punished. Liao Haoran was transferred back to Beijing and was sentenced to flogging after entering the palace. The fact that the secret music can drive away the coach all the way shows how powerful it is.

Not every general is Han Qi, he has his temper, but he may not have his status, and he may not have his status in the emperor's heart. Du Zhongxiao admits that he doesn't, no matter whether the emperor or the important ministers of the court, they will not attach so much importance to themselves. Therefore, Shi Quanbin walked along, and Du Zhongxiao demanded that all the chapters must be co-signed with him, and no matter whether they are good or bad, they must be said in person. No, he would rather not come than bring such a eunuch.

Why are the prison guards hated? Ignorance, stupidity, and greed, the most important thing is to turn the ink and white, wantonly use their own interests to deny the generals, and make the front-line generals at a loss. In the late Tang Dynasty, the five generations of supervisors were rampant, it was too extensive, and the generals were helpless, so they simply let them be commanders and handed over the command. In the end, the overseer became the commander-in-chief, and many of the current military positions were changed from the superintendent.

Du Zhongxiao did not oppose supervising the army, and in the actual command system of the battalion Tianxiang army, there were supervising troops at each level starting from the battalion level. However, when the supervising army reaches the next level, it is under the leadership of the commander at the same level, and does not have the right to report alone, and the report must be approved by the commander and signed jointly. They have the power and duty to supervise the commander's actions in accordance with the orders of their superiors, but they do not have the power to command the army, and everything must be authorized by the command.

The purpose of setting up a military supervision is to ensure the execution of orders and to achieve unity of military orders. At this time, the command of the forbidden army was very chaotic and would be autocratic, as long as the army was not under the direct command of the general, it was possible to act on its own at a critical moment and not carry out military orders. The general is not subject to the orders of the army abroad, and this sentence is often used as an excuse to put the orders of the higher authorities on the shelf. There are many things that cannot be explained clearly, and in the end, they cannot be handled. In the battle of Dingchuan Village, if it weren't for the military order that Ren Fu found when he was leaving, it would be impossible for the coach Han Qi to go unpunished.

The supervision of the army is to ensure in the system that the commander at the lower level has the power not to carry out military orders, and at the same time, there is a supervision of the army, and the power of the higher authorities to pursue the matter after the war is retained. If the order is not carried out without the consent of the supervising army, the commander is fully responsible.
