late at night.
Jing's troops in Guancheng each rested in their military tents.
As an excellent logistics personnel, Li Yuanzhao, and once the Jin army withdrew, it was impossible for them to enter Guancheng for a sneak attack.
When he volunteered to lead people to keep vigil in person, Emperor Jing naturally agreed.
As a result, the task of guarding the city wall area was successfully handed over to Jin Yiwei.
Three thousand people dispersed, some were patrolling inside the city, and more were standing guard at the top of the city.
Li Yuanzhao sneaked up the city wall, and the Jinyi guards immediately looked at him.
"Let the brothers bring their equipment, and let's sneak out of the city to rescue Lao Fang. Zhao Lie, go and inform the others. Keep your voice low, and you must not be discovered."
Zhao Lie was standing guard at the top of the city. When he heard Li Yuanzhao's order, he licked his lips and waved his hand, and a group of people behind him responded and ran down the city wall.
The patrolling Jinyiwei began to receive notifications one by one and acted secretly.
They received the news that they were going to take action a few days ago, and they were waiting for today!
In the quiet Guancheng, there is an undercurrent.
Three thousand Jin Yiwei took supplies in batches and changed into equipment.
Jin Yiwei brought a separate set of equipment, including grenades, muskets, and explosive bags, which were always hidden in the army's logistics and never used.
Not only that, Li Yuanzhao also secretly hid a batch of previously captured Jin Army heavy armors.
And privately, numbers have been assigned to people one by one!
The royal guards in the dark were in order, and they were all dressed up quickly and quietly.
Although it was a divided area, there were soldiers from other battalions keeping watch and they inevitably discovered something unusual.
Occasionally, there was someone wandering around in heavy armor in the middle of the night, which looked weird.
Fortunately, Li Yuanzhao came forward to explain in person at the first time, claiming that the brothers had not worn good armor and had fun at night, and the crisis was resolved in time.
He had openly mobilized a batch of horses during the day and transported them to the area he was responsible for.
One person led two horses and began to sneak out one by one along the broken city gate in the dark.
Li Yuanzhao walked to the outside of the city and stood at the city gate counting them excitedly.
Finally everyone arrived, Li Yuanzhao clenched his fist fiercely, got on his horse...
The legs were raised halfway and then lowered. The armor was too heavy and I couldn't ride on it.
"Zhao Lie! Zhao Lie, help me quickly!"
Zhao Lie came to meet him and helped him onto the horse. Li Yuanzhao pointed forward with great pride and said: "Let's go!"
The large army began to move forward.
Until he was gradually far away, Li Yuanzhao relaxed and shouted loudly: "Brothers, follow me!"
"Pantai City, here I come!"
...
"This beast! I'm going to kill him!!"
Emperor Jing's face was uncertain, and there were attendants behind him helping him put on his armor.
I heard this 'bad news' early in the morning before I woke up.
Everything was going smoothly, but this kid had to mess things up at a critical moment!
Emperor Jing was now furious with the three corpse gods, suppressing his anger and listening to the report below.
"Three thousand royal guards, six thousand war horses, and part of the captured heavy armor map were also taken away by them. They also took away the earliest supplies they brought with the army. I don't know what they were. No one has ever checked them, and they were also taken away. .”
"According to statistics from the grain officer, each of them took away about five days' worth of grain and grass."
After putting on his armor, Emperor Jing closed his eyes and took deep breaths: "Have you sent someone to chase him?"
"We're going. Their horses' hoofprints are deep and easy to spot. I've sent a fast horse to chase them."
Emperor Jing nodded helplessly, as if he had aged several years in an instant.
I felt regretful in my heart.
To cause chaos... to completely cause chaos, this beast should not have been brought here.
"Your Majesty, please don't hurt yourself when you calm down."
Emperor Jing roared: "Calm down!? How do you ask me to calm down? How many people are going to be killed to chase this bastard?"
"The whole army is ready, and I will set off immediately to Pantai City!"
...
On the grassland, the majestic military horses were running wildly.
Ten days have passed!
These heavily armored guards still looked very energetic.
Although they all look good, their level of nutrition and training intensity in the capital have obviously surpassed all the elite soldiers in the capital.
The only thing missing is practical experience.
In actual combat experience, the most important psychological construction has been completed on the bloody battlefield in the early stage.
They had long seen scenes of corpses littering the fields, and no longer had any fear of killing.
Li Yuanzhao did not follow the map after leaving Guancheng.
If Utu wants to fight guerrilla warfare, the official road is the most dangerous place.
They only have three thousand people, limited weapons and equipment, and cannot withstand too many wars.
You can only find the river according to the map, and then move forward in the direction of the river.
Although there are some detours, the nomadic people live in close proximity to water and grass, and supplies along the way are also easy to find.
Along the way, they have overthrown more than a dozen small tribes.
Although they are all small tribes, the people in this grassland are fierce and have some hatred towards the people of Jingguo.
Inexplicably seeing Jingguo's army fighting deep in the grassland, they were shocked and took up arms to resist.
As expected, the scattered tribes were defeated in one blow.
You don't even need to use swords and guns, just one charge and the opponent will be overturned.
Those who resist fiercely will be killed on the spot!
The rest of the young herdsmen simply broke their legs and left them where they were with other old, weak, women and children.
Then they slaughtered a large number of livestock and took enough meat, while the rest stayed in place and left quickly.
They acted quickly, and they didn't expect the living people to rush to report the news.
After all the experience, Li Yuanzhao was already unshaven, and his originally fair and tender skin was much rougher.
After breaking dozens of people's legs in succession, his heart was as cold as a knife.
And the Jin Yiwei who followed him in the battle became more and more fat.
The weather was cold along the way, and everyone was eating fat. They got angry and had big blisters at the corners of their mouths.
In a tribe, Li Yuanzhao studied the map carefully, breathing heavily as he prepared for the next move.
Zhao Lie walked quickly from outside the tent and said: "Your Highness, our spies found a large number of troops and horses moving towards us in the southeast direction. It is roughly estimated that there are more than 20,000 people, most of whom are wearing heavy armor."
Li Yuanzhao raised his eyes: "Where is the flag?"
"There is no flag, so I don't dare to get closer to observe. There are too many of them."
"Let the following gather together and stay away from here first."
"What about the herdsmen prisoners we just kidnapped? They will tell the news. Do you want to..." Zhao Lie gestured twice on his neck.
"Don't... let them loose their bonds, and then we head to the high ground..." Li Yuanzhao's eyes flashed with excitement.
Has a big fish finally appeared? Right now he can't outrun the opponent by running, but he has the strength to fight.
After all...the secret weapon has not been used yet!
Zhao Lie also breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran out of the tent.
The Jin Yiwei were not willing to kill those herdsmen. Although they were not afraid of fighting, let alone killing, they could not help but feel a little uneasy.
They usually have ideal, loving, and righteous images in the capital, and they have already formed a habit of playing around with the people.
The herdsmen are all ordinary people of the Jin Kingdom, and they look no different from the common people of the Jing Kingdom, so it is inevitable that they will feel sympathy.
It would be best not to kill him.
Not long after, Zhao Lie ran back to the account again and loudly reported: "Your Highness, the entire army has been assembled!"
