Just like that, the tense situation calmed down.
However, Li Zhiyun did not immediately lead his army away.
It would take time to transport 10,000 sets of armor, 10,000 bows, and grain from Chang 'an.
Li Zhiyun also needed time to deploy strong soldiers and archers from the army.
Of course, there were no specially trained archers in his army.
Sun Hua's troops didn't have archers to begin with.
Sun Hua had only gathered his troops for a short period of time. The training of an archer required at least a year. Moreover, the aristocratic families had not provided Sun Hua with archers back then.
When Li Zhiyun chose archers, he could only choose those who were stronger and stronger.
It wasn't much of a training. They just hurriedly taught the soldiers to line up in rows and shoot at the same time under the command of the middle and low-level generals.
Accuracy?
Li Zhiyun did not even have to think about it. Ten thousand archers. Li Zhiyun's plan was simple. As long as they could shoot arrows, it would be fine.
He believed that even if there were archers in Li Xiu Ning's army, there definitely wouldn't be many.
The bows and arrows of this era were specifically meant for military bows and arrows that could shoot out more than 50 meters. The production process was very complicated.
The bowstring had to be made of cow tendons. Cows were very precious in this era. It was a crime for ordinary people to kill cows.
The production of the bow was even more complicated. From drying the wood, forming it, coiling it, and painting it, a series of processes were carried out.
The production of a bow and arrow required at least two years!
The common people would not store a large number of standard bows and arrows, and the Li family could not have prepared to rebel two years ago.
Therefore, as long as he could achieve the effect of a blanket attack, he would have the upper hand in the battle against Li Xiu Ning.
Removing manpower, changing equipment, and other things could not be completed in a short period of time.
Until late at night, the temporary camp outside Chang 'an City was full of people and horses.
This night was destined to be a sleepless night for Chang 'an.
Countless people felt uneasy that night and did not dare to sleep.
The next morning.
Li Zhiyun rode his horse behind the army and turned to Chang 'an Fortress.
Vaguely, he could see the shadows behind the soldiers who were on high alert on the city wall.
Humph!
Li Zhiyun snorted and said with a cold smile,""Looks like many people didn't get a good night's sleep last night.”
When Wan Xuandao heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.""If it were me, I wouldn't be able to sleep with 50,000 troops pressing down on the city. However, with us leaving, I believe many people will be able to breathe a sigh of relief.”
"This battle is extremely important to us." Li Zhiyun gripped his horsewhip tightly and said," As long as we win this battle, we can recruit the soldiers trained by my third sister again and make Yu County our other foundation. We will be able to stand firm. I hope that my father can give me more time and give us a chance to really compete on the battlefield!”
Li Zhiyun's eyes flashed coldly.
He had already learned from Sun Hua's subordinate that Li Yuan wanted his life.
Wan Xuandao's expression turned grave when he heard this.
Would his brother-in-law really give them enough time?
Li Zhiyun didn't know that Li Yuan had already finished his preparations.
He also didn't know that there were dozens of Li Xiuning's female assassins hidden in his military camp.
"Let's go!" Li Zhiyun suddenly clamped his horse's belly and lightly whipped his horse. The horse neighed and charged towards the front of the army.
toot...
A dull horn sounded, and the generals at all levels began to convey Li Zhiyun's orders.
"The general has ordered us to set off!"
"The general has ordered us to set off!"
……
On the city wall of Chang 'an, Dou Wei watched the majestic army move slowly and could not help but feel relieved.
He really hoped that Li Zhiyun and Yang You would fight each other, but he didn't have a good rest last night when Li Zhiyun was outside the city.
At this moment, just like Dou Wei, the representatives of the other gentry clans also heaved a sigh of relief.
"This brat has finally left."
"Yeah, I'm finally leaving. I'm going back to have a good rest.”
……
As everyone spoke, they secretly looked in the direction of the city tower. They saw that the window that had been open since yesterday was now closed.
……
Li Zhiyun only arrived ten miles away from Yu County when it was almost evening.
It wasn't that he didn't want to be faster, but he didn't dare to be too fast. He was worried that he would fall into Li Xiu Ning's ambush.
He had never dared to underestimate Li Xiu Ning. This battle was extremely important to him. If he won, his situation would improve, and if he lost, there would be a bottomless abyss behind him.
"Report!"
The scout horse galloped over from the front and shouted at the top of his lungs. When he arrived in front of Li Zhiyun, he quickly reined in his horse and rolled to the ground, kneeling on one knee."Reporting to General, there are about thirty thousand enemy troops in formation five li ahead.”
"Thirty thousand?" " The intelligence says that Li Xiu Ning has at least 50,000 soldiers," Li Zhiyun frowned and asked suspiciously." Why is there only 30,000?"”
"Report!"
At this moment, another scout returned.
"General, the city gates of Yu County are tightly shut and the city is heavily guarded!”
Li Zhiyun instantly understood. He turned to Wan Xuandao and said,""Uncle, do you understand? My third sister has already thought of how to deal with me. Her plan is to put herself in an invincible position.”
"The Third Lady of the Li family is indeed a hero among women. Today, we siblings meet on the battlefield, so let's determine the winner.”
Li Zhiyun pulled out his saber and ordered the scout,""Continue to investigate the surrounding thirty li. The army will slow down and prepare to fight at any time.”
