"Line up and count the number of people in each battalion."

Just when Liu Sheng was having wild thoughts, the messenger came and shouted to Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng is still an official. Although he is a small team leader, he oversees about fifty people!

At the same time as the siege was underway, Liu Sheng and others who had just joined were organized into the rear army. Before they could get into formation, news came that the general had been killed. The civilian officials supervising the battle, with dozens of people, roared past them, and then The whole army was defeated.

Everyone ran away, but Liu Sheng was slashed by the chasing Khitans and knocked to the ground.

Except for the unlucky ones and those who ran away, Liu Sheng and his group had more than thirty people, so they were relatively well-organized.

Amidst the bursts of yelling and cursing, everyone began to line up. It was not that Liu Sheng had not thought about escaping, but the tattoo on his forehead would betray him and he would not be able to escape. This was also the reason why this group of defeated soldiers still gathered together.

"What a bastard," Liu Sheng cursed.

Liu Sheng led the team and stood at the back.

The general ordered everyone to come forward and hand over their weapons to reorganize the army.

Weapons and armor were thrown away as they fled, but some people took them with them and stepped forward one by one to take off their armor and put down their weapons.

After a while, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and the team that had just stabilized was in a state of collapse. The generals and messengers kept shouting that these were the people of the imperial court.

But most people were still a little uneasy. After a while, dozens of riders came from the south. By the light of the fire, the people around Liu Sheng whispered: "Isn't this the high official who escaped originally? Why is he back again?"

Liu Sheng originally thought that this was to organize their retreat, but he did not expect that the men on tall horses and red official robes told them to divide into two groups.

Liu Sheng didn't understand what it meant either? But I felt bad in my heart.

Groups of sergeants stepped forward, picked up their weapons, put on their armor, and stood on the right side.

At this time, an attentive person realized something was wrong and said: "Squad leader, almost all of the people standing on the right are old soldiers and those who are not injured. They won't let us cut off the rear!"

Liu Sheng also noticed this situation and comforted everyone: "No, the old soldiers have more combat effectiveness than us, so it is appropriate for them to wear armor."

But Liu Sheng knew very well that he was [-]% abandoning them and letting the old soldiers wear armor was just to suppress them.

Sure enough, after all the old soldiers wore their armor, the senior official gave them a number they had never heard of before and told them that they were assigned to the new army and were waiting to be accepted.

As soon as this news came out, all the people who stayed behind were in an uproar. They were being used as cannon fodder to stop the Khitan offensive! Let the remaining people escape.

The old soldier who had been lying with them earlier and scolding the court instantly drew his sword and killed several people who wanted to rush forward.

The others surrounded them.

Someone scolded: "I haven't seen you so brave against the Khitan dogs, but you are very powerful against your own people."

Faced with the crowd's scolding, the veteran's face turned red, but in order to survive, they still drove away.

There are more people newly recruited into the Forbidden Army than old soldiers, but none of the old soldiers will save their lives on the battlefield. Including those who have been picked off, there are only more than [-] people left, and most of them are injured.

"What do you want to do? Are you going to rebel by disobeying military orders? If you keep making noise, I will kill you all here."

After the senior officials in red official robes finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

All the backbones and officers who were later incorporated into the Forbidden Army were transferred away, leaving only some wounded. Liu Sheng was also transferred originally, but unfortunately he was injured and was replaced.

Liu Sheng knew that he could no longer sit back and wait for death, so he hurriedly stepped forward. However, there were so many people that Liu Sheng was like a lonely boat in the sea. In desperation, he asked everyone to shout: "Sir, we are willing to obey the order and wait here."

These remarks were like dropping a huge stone on the calm water. The people around them looked at the group of them in disbelief.

It also attracted the high-ranking officials sitting on the horse. After a while, Liu Sheng knelt under the horse.

"I bid Liu Sheng, and I would like to respect your military orders and resist the Liao people here."

The officer on the side scolded: "This is Prime Minister Cai of the Privy Council, there are no rules."

Liu Sheng hurriedly changed his words and said: "Xiangong Cai, I would like to obey the military order."

"Do you believe there will be reinforcements tomorrow?"

A majestic voice came, and Liu Sheng raised his head and looked at Cai You, who was sitting high on the horse.

His face remained unchanged and he said in a deep voice: "I am writing this letter. I am trusting the court and Your Majesty. I also believe that my husband will not abandon any of the people of the Song Dynasty." After saying that, he lowered his head again.

Cai You praised: "You are not old, but your courage is not small." Then he said in words that could be heard by several people: "There are indeed reinforcements, but they will not arrive until tomorrow morning at the earliest, and they will not arrive until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest."

"I received the military order, and the battle at Yanjing was extremely difficult. The officials gave up the plan of attacking on two fronts, and prepared to attack Yanjing with all their strength. I asked my officer to provide rapid support. The border troops on Lizhou Road were also in the process of supporting this time. The reason why you are left behind is to meet the border troops on Lizhou Road, besiege Datong City, and prevent them from going to support us."

Liu Sheng greeted all the eighteen generations of women from Cai You's ancestors in his heart, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's military use is like a stroke of genius."

"But the Khitan is right behind us. We have neither armor nor weapons. If the Khitan attacks tomorrow, I'm afraid we won't be able to fulfill my husband's instructions."

Cai You sat on the horse and waved his hands without wanting to say a word, indicating that he would not give it.

At this time, a general grabbed Cai You's horse and said, "Mr.

Then the two of them walked aside and muttered for a long time.

Cai You motioned Liu Sheng over and said: "The equipment of the frontier army has always been the best. Just thinking about it, I forgot that there are Khitan people behind me. I personally decided to give you two hundred pieces of armor, five hundred swords, and one sword." With a hundred crossbows and a thousand arrows, you can build a camp and wait for the border troops."

Liu Sheng secretly asked: Are all the officials in the Song Dynasty so dark? More than 1 people are given a hundred sets of equipment to resist thousands of fully armored cavalry? I'm still building a camp. I'm so damned willing to build a grave for you.

Liu Sheng still smiled and thanked him, and then Cai You said: "On behalf of the imperial court, I appoint you as the envoy of Zhao, temporarily the commander, waiting for the arrival of the general, you may be qualified?"

Liu Sheng couldn't believe his ears, and then he knelt down happily and said: "Thank you for your cultivation, and I will do my best to serve you."

Cai You glanced at Liu Sheng with a half-smile, and then announced the order.

Leaving some supplies behind, he hurriedly left with a large group of people.

Liu Sheng looked at the leaving army with a strange smile on his face.

He turned around and said loudly: "For every ten people in a group, choose a captain; for every ten groups, choose a captain; for every ten groups, choose a battalion leader."

Liu Sheng didn't know much about the military system of this era, and the backbones were transferred. In order to maintain order, he had to formulate a new order.

After Liu Sheng's order, the originally noisy team became even more noisy, but it became quiet after a while.

Twelve battalion commanders stood in front of Liu Sheng.
