The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 114
Where the army camps, there will be sentries and outposts all over within twenty miles.Set the sentry, hide and move, wander the sentry, and patrol around the camp.

Outside Zhao Dongting's camp, there were ten squads of ten people constantly patrolling, all of whom were experts in the Flying Dragon Army.However, there were only a few piles of bonfires next to it, and Zhao Dongting's tents could not be seen from a distance. This was Qin Han's special order to prevent the enemy from looking into where the handsome camp was, and even the handsome flag was placed. Outside the camp a little farther away.

There are too many masters in this era, even if you are happy and free, you have to guard against them.

The night wind whistled, and the flags whistled, making it look extremely desolate.

In the middle of the night, under the faint moonlight, a figure approached the Southern Song army camp at an extremely fast speed.

He was dressed in black, covered with a veil, and it was difficult to see clearly from a little distance.

Occasionally, he would stop suddenly and lie down in the grass.Often after 2 minutes like this, there will be cavalry soldiers from the Southern Song Dynasty roaring past.

It is impossible for his eyesight to be so sharp, that is to say, this person's ears are absolutely extremely sharp, and he can even hear the sound of horseshoes thousands of meters away.

The numerous bright and dark whistles in the Southern Song Dynasty were unexpectedly avoided by him one after another at an unimaginable speed.

No, some should be said to be killed directly.

Occasionally, he was discovered by secret sentries lurking everywhere, but before those secret whistles shouted and shot arrows, his figure flew over a few meters, and the short sword in his hand was directed like an arm, stabbing those secret sentries to the ground one after another.The secret sentry, which usually gathers with three or five people, actually has no chance to set off a signal flare in his hands.

This is a master, and a top-level master.

Not long after, his figure appeared on a hill only a few hundred meters away from the Southern Song Dynasty military camp.

Beside him are several corpses of Anshao from the Southern Song Dynasty, all of which had their throats sealed with a sword and no one was alive.

The night wind was still howling, whizzing past the Yellow Grass Avenue.

The knee-high yellow grass on the hill was also blown to the north side. The man's head was exposed, and his eyes were extremely cold, staring at the Southern Song army camp.

But not long after, there was a little doubt in his eyes.

From the number of bonfires, he couldn't tell where the Southern Song army's camp was.

This situation is rare for him.

The Yuan Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty fought for many years, and he did not know how many times he had assassinated the commanders of the Southern Song Dynasty, but it was rare that he could not determine the location of the Song army commander's camp.

After more than ten minutes passed like this, he suddenly opened the corpse of Nansong Anshao next to him, and took out the signal flare from the corpse's arms.Then he took out the torch from his pocket and blew a few breaths, red sparks came out from the tip of the torch.

A signal flare trailing the bright red tail rushed straight into the sky with a sharp piercing sound, and then exploded in the night with dazzling light.

The man bowed his body and walked through the yellow grass at a very fast speed, and he had already run far away in an instant.

Several teams of cavalry from the Southern Song Dynasty rushed towards the place where the signal flare rose, waving their whips and galloping their horses.

It's just that when they arrived, the man in black had already hid on the hill several miles away from here, lying behind the blue stone on the hill.

Throwing stones for directions.

The cavalrymen of the Southern Song Dynasty ran to the place where Anshao had been staying, and when they saw the corpses on the ground, their faces showed a slightly dignified expression.

An old soldier got off his horse, looked carefully at Anshao's corpse, and said in a deep voice, "They all sealed their throats with a sword."

The expressions of the cavalry suddenly became more dignified.

Then, one of their teams ran back to the barracks to report the news, and the other three teams searched around.

On the other side, the man in black is also frowning.

In the past, he used throwing stones to ask for directions, which was tried and tested repeatedly, but this time, it seemed that he had encountered a hard stubble.

Because until now, there has been no panic in the Southern Song army camp. Except for the four groups of cavalry patrolling, the rest of the patrolling soldiers are still in order, walking by the campfire from time to time.

He still couldn't tell where the commander in the Southern Song army camp was.

After more than ten minutes, he finally chose to give up, hid in the darkness, and left.

Even though he was extremely confident in his kung fu, he didn't dare to break into such a huge military camp in the Southern Song Dynasty without finding a target.

Not long after, the information was reported layer by layer and passed to Zhao Dongting's camp.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, as many as 24 secret whistles were lost, and all of them were sealed with a sword.

Even Zhao Dongting could tell that this must be done by a master.This made his face a little dignified. Those masters of the rivers and lakes are always incalculable factors in war.They are not good at charging head-on, but they have the ability to attack the camp alone and take the head of the enemy general.

It's a pity that there is no such master in Zhao Dongting's army except Le Wuhui.

The Yuan Dynasty is powerful, and now too many masters of the rivers and lakes have been recruited by them, such as Zhao Hu and Zhao Da, who are not skilled enough to attack the camp.

In this regard, Zhao Dongting had no choice but to let the soldiers burn the corpses of those secret sentries, but the army remained motionless.

That night until dawn, nothing happened again.

Smoke rose slowly from the barracks that stretched for more than ten miles.

Zhao Dongting sent an order to go down, and after breakfast, the three armies set off.

The scouts went first, and several teams had already galloped away before dawn.

Several hours later, the army finally arrived in front of the canyon where the scouts reported that there was an ambush by the Yuan army.

There are hills on both sides, and the gravel road is only five meters wide in the middle, and the narrow place is only two meters wide.The terrain is very similar to the Hulukou of Quzhou Island.

The army of the Southern Song Dynasty set up a camp outside the canyon to build rice.

Zhao Dongting used binoculars to observe the hills on both sides of the canyon, with a slight sneer at the corner of his mouth.

The scouts reported that the ambushes of the Yuan army on both sides of the canyon had already retreated.Obviously, they also talked about the reality of the soldiers in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the lack of troops, reckoning that ambush would not take much advantage.

According to Zhao Dongting's observation, there are indeed traces of the Yuan army making fire and cooking on the hill.

He tilted his head and asked Qin Han who was also holding a telescope beside him, "Where do you think this Yuan army came from?"

Qin Han put down his binoculars, looked at Zhao Dongting in surprise, and then said, "Twenty miles away, Tanjin County."

When he heard that the telescope was invented by Zhao Dongting, he was really surprised.Because even those geniuses in Guigu Academy have never been able to invent such a thing.With his knowledge, he can naturally imagine that this inconspicuous little thing can play a great role on the battlefield.

Zhao Dongting raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, "How can you see that?"

Qin Han said: "The traces of them lighting a fire and making food are very shallow, which means that there is very little food with the army. Within a radius of fifty miles, there is only Tanjin County."

"Hard attack?"

Zhao Dongting asked again.

Qin Han nodded slightly, "Prime Minister Wen and Ali Haiya are intertwined in strength, it is difficult to start a decisive battle, and it is considered a share to be able to swallow them."

Zhao Dongting no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the army to go down, and the army was ready to attack Tanjin County.

The sun was shining brightly, it was extremely hot, and the smoke from the kitchen was rising again.

The scouts from both sides are now blatant. The scouts from the Southern Song Dynasty galloped outside Tanjin County, and the scouts from the Yuan army dared to observe the situation of the army at a distance of only a thousand meters away from the army of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Occasionally, when the scouts of the two sides meet, they will fight on the spot.

Before the war broke out, the scouts alone had already lost a lot.

At this moment, both parties have clearly made up their minds.Zhao Dongting and the others planned to attack hard, but the Yuan army was short of troops, so they naturally planned to stick to it.

What made Zhao Dongting slightly dissatisfied was that his own scouts failed to ascertain the reality of the Yuan army in Tanjin County.

Although the strength of the Yuan army can be estimated from the number of flags and defensive equipment, the Yuan army can also use tricks to deceive people's eyes and ears.

He felt that ancient spying was too inconvenient.

Of course, it is often because of this that ancient wars have ups and downs, and accidents often occur.

Before evening, the [-] soldiers and horses of the Southern Song Dynasty had all marched to the outside of Tanjin County.

Tanjin County is an important town in Tengzhou and a middle-level county. The city wall is built with blue bricks and is more than ten meters high.

On the city wall, the flag of the Yuan army was fluttering, many soldiers stood on it and waited for it, a series of catapults stood tall, and the ballista protruded from the base of the crossbow.

Zhao Dongting waved his army to stop 600 meters in front of Tanjin County.

This distance is extremely subtle, and it seems to be within reach of the return artillery of the Yuan army, but it is difficult to reach it.

The commander-in-chief of the Yuan army on the top of the city watched, gritted his teeth, and secretly scolded the thieves of the Song Dynasty for their cunning.

Zhao Dongting tilted his head and smiled and asked Qin Han: "How to attack?"

Qin Han only said: "There is no good strategy to attack the city. The Yuan army sticks to it. Our army can only forcefully occupy the city with overwhelming force."

According to the current situation of the two sides, it is unrealistic to try to make some countermeasures. The Yuan army here is all Mongols, and the Yuan Dynasty is powerful. It is impossible for them to abandon Yuan and vote for Song unless their brains are cramped.

Zhao Dongting laughed, and ordered Zhao Da and Zhao Hu to let the Feilong soldiers move out the grenades.

During the battle at Puqian Bay in Qiongzhou, although he also used a grenade, Qin Han stayed in the barracks and did not see it.

He also wanted to let the genius of Guigu Academy see his skills.

I dare not say anything else, but in terms of manufacturing advanced firearms, Zhao Dongting has extremely strong self-confidence, absolutely no one in this era can compare with him.

Qin Han watched the flying dragon soldiers line up the black grenadiers, and was really surprised, "What is this?"

Zhao Dongting smiled without saying a word, just raised his hand.

"put!"

Immediately, he put his hand down abruptly and drank loudly.

Dozens of cannons were fired.

Qin Han was dumbfounded.

The commander-in-chief of the Yuan army on the top of the city was also dumbfounded.

He watched helplessly as an iron lump seemed to be falling towards him, and hurriedly ran to the side.

He was still thinking, "How could the Song army have such a small catapult? How could the speed of these iron bullets be so fast?"

The shells either fell on the head of the city of Jinjin County, or hit the city wall and exploded.
