After hearing the military order, all the generals were stunned.

At this time, there were thousands of Western cavalry and thousands of elite Western infantry fighting with the Liangshan cavalry on the front line. They were constantly entangled with each other, shooting arrows, galloping back and forth, and grabbing favorable terrain everywhere.

Under the cover of the chain horses, the Western Army was able to seize the geographical advantage more smoothly. The main reason was that the Liangshan cavalry had a lot of scruples. Once a fight broke out and the chain horses rushed them, it would be difficult to avoid a big defeat!

This is in sharp contrast to yesterday, when the Liangshan cavalry suppressed the officers and infantry.

And when the Liangshan heavy cavalry appeared and three thousand armored cavalry entered the battlefield, all the Liangshan cavalry cheered and shouted!

At this time, although the morale of the Liangshan cavalry was high, they began to actively fight with the Western Army. However, the Western Army did not dare to retreat suddenly. Retreating in front of the formation was a common skill. Fighting and retreating, slowly withdrawing troops, their own side still had to fight. Sending troops forward to respond, this"four-four-seven" is the best way.

The generals of the Western Army are all experienced. At this time, many generals have sent their infantry and cavalry forward, preparing to respond to the retreating troops of their own side.

At this time, if the Daming Mansion troops and Guan Sheng's troops ran back without any explanation, the entire battlefield would collapse in an instant.

Tens of thousands of Xijun infantry and cavalry were sold directly.

A large number of Liangshan cavalry will chase after them, and the originally evenly matched battle will turn into a one-sided massacre in an instant!

Thousands of light cavalry may come back, but none of the infantry will definitely come back. They will either surrender or be killed. There is no other outcome.

"How is this possible?"Xu Ning, the golden gunner, said with an ugly face:"Isn't this betraying your comrades before the battle?

Xuan Zan also said:"This is absolutely impossible!""

Han Tao, Peng Qi, Wei Dingguo and others all spoke out against it.

Wu Yujian Zhang Qing, Gong Wang, Ding Desun, Suo Chao, Zhou Jin and others all looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

They had already joined Liang Zhongshu's disciples.

Unlike these people, who are all foreign military and state generals, they certainly cannot speak too casually.

Although they also agree with Xu Ning and others.

Hao Siwen said:"I also thought it was impossible, so I ignored the safety of our comrades in the Western Army. We The distance is also close, so we turn around and run, but the chain horse can't run fast. Liangshan Qingqi catches up with us, and we will be defeated immediately!"

"That's right," Xu Ning continued:"To evacuate in front of the formation, you must not only retreat slowly, but also try to maintain the formation. It is best to have support, defense, and a large camp in the rear. How could this be the case? He would turn around and run away when encountering a strong enemy. Liang Zhongshu really didn’t know how to fight!"

Xu Ning also has a violent temper. In fact, there are really not many good-tempered heroes on the mountain.

Even Song Jiang's character of a good old man, didn't he stab Yan Poxi with a knife?

If it weren't for the concern that Liang Taishu was the general manager of Hebei Road Economics , the minister of Zhongshu, is a high-ranking fourth-rank official, and Xu Ning has already started to curse.

Don’t think that the fourth-rank official is low. In the Song Dynasty, the official ranks were all very low.

Military attachés, brave captains, and minor envoys were not among the best. The ministers have the ninth rank, the ambassadors have the eighth rank, and the ministers are envoys to the horizontal class, and the highest rank is the fifth rank.

Entering the horizontal class is already the second level of military commanders. You can imagine how difficult it is to improve the rank..

The same is true for civil servants. New scholars are awarded the eighth rank, and only a few elites can be awarded the seventh rank. After serving as an official for ten or eight years, those who are promoted to the seventh rank to serve as censors are considered to have a smooth official career.

If they are promoted from the sixth rank to supervise the censor, Shi, from the fifth rank of Taichang Shaoqing, secretary to the young eunuch, and internal guest envoy, he is already a member of the capital. If he serves as the privy minister, he has already entered the reserve list of important ministers. At least he can survive the qualifications and become a big state. The magistrate will add more experience and qualifications to serve as an important minister in the future.

From the four ranks of Baohe, Longtu, Tianzhang, Baowen and Xianmo, it is an important step for civil servants to enter the two palaces. Famous ministers such as Bao Zheng have all served in the service system, as well as admonishing officials and generals of the army. In the Song Dynasty, from the fourth rank to the fourth rank, they were already touching the tail of important ministers. If they were older, He can already be regarded as a member of the important ministers.

At the fourth rank, he is a standard half-step important minister, that is, Liang Zhongshu's minister of Zhongshu. He is assigned to Shizhong, Taichang Qing, as the general in charge, the general of the guards, and the deputy commander in front of the palace. , the title will be equal to that of the founding uncle.

If you take another half step, you will be an important minister and can enter the two palaces. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Baohe, Longtu, Tianzhang, and Baowen Palaces Zhibaoshi, Yushi Zhongcheng, and Kaifeng Fuyin are all at this level. Next up are Guanwendian bachelor, Hanlin bachelor, Hanlin bachelor Chengzhi, privy Zhibaoshi, and six ministers. They are already members of the two palaces and important ministers of the country. Bao

Zheng then He was a direct bachelor of Longtuge, with the right to know the Kaifeng Mansion. He also served as the third envoy and censor Zhongcheng. His official rank was from the fourth to the third rank. In later generations, it can only be said that he was at the level of Jingqing. In the Song Dynasty, he was the standard minister of the country.

Later. People were puzzled, thinking that Bao Heizi was a prefect, but he underestimated this important minister of the Song Dynasty...

In the Northern Song Dynasty, those with less than a third-grade bachelor's degree were not qualified to know Kaifeng Mansion. If we must make an analogy, it is somewhat similar to the Zhili Governor-General of the Qing Dynasty.

Because the authority was so important, the Kaifeng Mansion in the Song Dynasty only had the power to know Kaifeng, but not the Kaifeng Mansion, and no one could hold office for a long time.

It can take as short as a few months, but as long as one or two years.

They were just afraid that a powerful official would take control of Kaifeng, and that the old Zhao family would be in trouble.

Therefore, Xu Ning had a violent temper when he dared to criticize Liang Taishu in public.

Liang Zhongshu took another half step forward and became a direct bachelor of the Baohe, Longtu, Tianzhang, and Baowen palaces. He could be appointed as the Minister of the Six Cao Cao, the Privy Councilor, the Censor Zhongcheng, the Deputy Envoy of the Third Division, and other important ministerial positions.

This stage is called the ministerial system, and the threshold is extremely high. Ordinary ministers cannot enter at all.

Half a step further, you will sign a letter to the Privy Council, the three envoys, participate in political affairs, enter the two government offices, get a cool umbrella, and become an important minister of the country.

Even if you are qualified, you can still be a junior prime minister, and you can be a privy councilor and so on. After you retire, you will be appointed as an imperial envoy, and you will get a salary, and then you will most likely be given a title. The favor and honor of a civil servant has also entered the stage. Peak state.

Liang Zhongshu was only half a step away, and with Cai Jing as his father-in-law, ordinary civil servants did not dare to provoke him, let alone military generals with low status in the Song Dynasty.

It can be said that Liang Zhongshu beheaded Xu Ning in a rage, and the court would not pursue anything afterwards. At most, it would be said that Liang Zhongshu acted wrongly, and he would be reprimanded 0.3 times and that would be the end of it.

The noble in culture and the humble in martial arts are not just words.

Suo Chao, Zhang Qing and others were even more embarrassed to speak out. They were sweating profusely and looked at the opposite side nervously.

The armored cavalry on the opposite side did not speed up, and it looked still far away, but the two sides were competing for a large area of ​​farmland. Except for a few places with ridges that were difficult to walk, the land here was all dry land, and large flat areas were most suitable for cavalry. When charging, the cavalry on the opposite side didn't seem to speed up, but the distance was only six or seven miles, and even the heavily burdened armored cavalry wouldn't take long to charge over.

Whether to evacuate or meet the enemy requires a decision in the shortest possible time.

Guan Sheng kept pondering, and he heard everyone's words clearly.

Almost immediately he gave up the idea of ​​retreating under orders.

Liang Zhongshu really didn’t know how to fight, he simply didn’t know what it meant!.
