The next morning, the two of them got up, packed their luggage, paid the bill with the innkeeper, and rode to the Imperial Army camp.
They first arrived at the General's Estate. Li Huanming arranged accommodation for them and let Qiao Feng teach the 100,000 imperial soldiers.
To put it bluntly, these 100,000 Imperial Army soldiers were like a motley crew.
The previous head instructor had actually relied on connections. It seemed to be a distant uncle of Li Huanming. His uncle had learned a few tricks in his early years and relied on Li Huanming's connections to become the head instructor. Because he was always defeated, he could not keep his face. He had long wanted to retire. In addition, he was over 70 years old, so he did not become the head instructor.
Qiao Feng was also a little confused. Who should he train first?
First, select five thousand core members. The rest will be organized into teams and each team will train on their own.
This was the only way, because there was only one and a half months left.
The Song Dynasty's Imperial Army was divided into four levels: Xiang, Jun, Ying, and Capital. The Xiang governed ten armies, the Jun governed five battalions, and the Ying governed five capitals. Each capital had 100 people. The 100,000 Imperial Army was actually divided into five chambers. In fact, four chambers were enough, but because of the heavy casualties in the past, many armies and battalions had vacancies. They were not full, so there were five chambers.
Qiao Feng found the commanders of the five carriages and asked them to select 1,000 elite soldiers from each carriage. Qiao Feng would personally carry out concentrated training. The rest would still be in accordance with the original establishment and asked them to step up their training.
The selection process went on for two days. Early in the morning of the third day, the five thousand core members were finally selected. They gathered together on a large training ground, and then Qiao Feng prepared to train them for a month.
He first taught them the Dog Beating Stick Technique. After all, the Dog Beating Stick Technique used a weapon, while the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms used his own palm. In terms of attack distance, the Dog Beating Stick Technique was more suitable for fighting, so he taught them the Dog Beating Stick Technique first.
After more than twenty days of teaching, these five thousand people basically knew the movements of the dog beating stick technique. Although some of their movements were not standard, they should be able to go to the battlefield to deal with the enemy. As for the cultivation of internal strength, it was not something that could be done overnight.
There were still ten days before the Liao Dynasty attacked Xiongzhou, and Qiao Feng had started to teach them the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms again.
After all, when fighting on the battlefield, there were also situations where both sides had their weapons destroyed. At this time, they had to attack at close range, so they had to learn the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms to attack the enemy at close range.
Ten days passed very quickly. The moves of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms were basically taught to these 5,000 people, and some internal cultivation methods were also taught. One day, the scouts at the front reported that the 50,000 troops of the Liao Dynasty had been assembled and had arrived in Beijing. They were heading towards Xiongzhou and were expected to attack Xiongzhou City tomorrow.
Qiao Feng's training mission was considered completed. As for the effect, only tomorrow's battle could test it.
After all, Qiao Feng wasn't an appointed battle commander. He was just a temporary head instructor, so he was also leaving the Imperial Army camp.
Qiao Feng brought Li Shishi to the General's Mansion to bid farewell to Li Huanming.""Lord Li, Qiao Feng has completed the training for one and a half months.”
"Alright, if your training really produces a satisfactory effect, I will appoint you as the official head instructor!”Li Huanming said.
Then, Qiao Feng and Exemplary Lee returned to their residence to pack their luggage. They rode back to Xiongzhou City and stayed at the inn they had stayed at before.
After entering the guest room, Li Shishi made some tea and said,"We're going to war tomorrow, I'm so nervous!”
"Hmm, I wonder if our Beggar's Sect's Black Tortoise Tribe, Xiongzhou's prefectural army, and the imperial court's 100,000 imperial soldiers can resist the Liao Dynasty's army together.”Qiao Feng said.
"Today is the 16th of July. I should have let Big Brother Qiao have sex with Shishi, but Shishi has been doing it for the past few days. I can't have sex with Big Brother Qiao. Why don't we wait until the 21st and 22nd of July for Big Brother Qiao to have sex with Shishi for two consecutive days?”Li Shishi said.
"Alright, I'll do that with you in a few days! Let's go to Black Tortoise Tribe and see how Chief Ma will arrange the members to fight against Liao tomorrow.”Qiao Feng said.
"Yes, alright." Li Shishi followed Qiao Feng out of the door and walked towards Beggar's Sect's Black Tortoise Sect.
"Brother Tenghua, how are the preparations going? The scouts from the Imperial Army reported that the Liao army has been assembled and is now in Beijing. They will attack Xiongzhou tomorrow!”Qiao Feng said to Ma Tenghua.
"We've already done our best. Anyway, only these three thousand people from our Black Turtle Clan can fight. In the past month and a half, we've also stepped up our training. Apart from practicing our basic skills, we also have to train two people to fight each other every day to improve our combat ability in battle.”
"Hehe, very good. I hope that under Brother Tenghua's command tomorrow, our Beggar's Sect can work together to resist the attack of the Liao Dynasty's troops!”Qiao Feng said.
"Don't worry, Sect Master, we will do our best.”Ma Tenghua sighed.
"Brother Tenghua, I don't worry about you. You're the most competent manager in Beggar's Sect!”Qiao Feng said.
Then, Qiao Feng and Exemplary Lee returned to the inn.
After taking a pill, Exemplary Lee began to refine her Qi.
Qiao Feng was pacing back and forth in the room, as if he was thinking about something, but also seemed very anxious.
After four hours, Li Shishi finished her cultivation. It was almost 11 pm.
Qiao Feng had already fallen asleep on the bed, and Exemplary Lee had also started to sleep.
The next day, Qiao Feng woke up early in the morning, followed by Li Shishi.
Qiao Feng said to Li Shishi," Go back to sleep. I'm going to the battlefield today to take a look and fight against the Liao army. The battlefield is too dangerous. Don't go!"”
"No, I want to go with you. Even if I die on the battlefield, it's still glorious!”Li Shishi pouted.
"Be good, it's very dangerous there!" Qiao Feng ordered.
"Alright then, you must be careful!”Li Shishi said.
"Okay, wait for my good news!" Qiao Feng said.
Qiao Feng then went to the backyard of the inn to get his horse and rode it towards the battlefield. Li Shishi went back to sleep.
Most of the Imperial Army was stationed in the north of Xiongzhou, so when the Liao army attacked, they would first encounter the Imperial Army.
Qiao Feng rode in the direction of the Imperial Army and soon arrived at the Imperial Army camp.
The sound of weapons clashing could be heard faintly. It seemed that the battle had already begun. Great Liao's troops were approaching, and Beggar's Sect's Black Tortoise Tribe's 3,000 soldiers and Xiongzhou's prefectural army would arrive soon.
Soon, the Liao army had already invaded. The Imperial Army also began to resist under the command of the commanders at all levels. The five thousand elite soldiers trained by Qiao Feng, who was the core, also organized themselves and began to fight back. After a while, the three thousand people of Beggar's Sect and the prefectural army of Xiongzhou also rushed over. Ma Tenghua and Wang Yunzhi also came.
"Hehe, Lord Wang has personally come to supervise the battle!”Qiao Feng said to Wang Yunzhi.
"This is a matter of life and death. Once Xiongzhou is lost, not only will I be unable to protect my life, but I will also be unable to protect my own life!”Wang Yunzhi said worriedly.
Indeed, with a knife at his throat, he had to fight even if he didn't want to.
Then Ma Tenghua and Wang Yunzhi began to command their respective troops to attack the frontline.
Qiao Feng simply followed the Beggar's Sect's people. After all, he was the Beggar's Sect Master and a member of Beggar's Sect.
The battle was very fierce. Both sides engaged in close combat. After a day of fighting, the Liao soldiers and Song soldiers suffered casualties, including the Beggar's Sect and Xiongzhou's prefectural army.
At night, no one went back. Instead, they set up camp. The Imperial Army's material reserves were quite sufficient. Li Huanming arranged for people to set up tents, boil water, and cook for the Beggar's Sect and Xiongzhou's prefectural soldiers.
The Liao army was also stationed not far from them.
Early the next morning, not long after the rooster crowed, the sky had just begun to brighten when the sound of fighting could be heard again. Qiao Feng quickly got up, and most of the sect members here also got up to face the enemy.
After a day of fighting, there were casualties.
On the third, fourth, and fifth days, they fought for another three days. Other than the five thousand elite soldiers trained by Qiao Feng, the Imperial Army still had about three thousand soldiers left. Many of the rest of the Imperial Army had died, about twenty thousand of them. Many of them had also become deserters. The members of Beggar's Sect and Xiongzhou's prefectural army had fought very bravely, but many had also died. Beggar's Sect had lost about a thousand people, and the prefectural army had lost about fifteen hundred people.
However, they were not defeated. After fighting for five days, the Liao Dynasty saw that they could not gain any advantage. It was not as easy to conquer the cities of the Song Dynasty as it was in the past. Moreover, they themselves had suffered heavy casualties. They were afraid that if they continued fighting, they would be completely wiped out, so they turned around and withdrew their troops.
Although they had both suffered casualties and fought to a draw, it could be considered a victory to be able to make Great Liao withdraw its troops.
This time, the Great Liao suffered heavy casualties. There were more than 20,000 Liao soldiers on the battlefield. More than 20,000 of the 50,000 people died, which was half of them. If they wanted to attack Xiongzhou again, they would have to wait at least half a year to recruit troops.
At this time, it was almost the end of the night. Qiao Feng walked back for more than half an hour before he found his horse. Then, he began to ride back to Xiongzhou City. When he returned to the inn, it was already the night.
