The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 122 The Battle of Pingnan ([-])

It is not so easy to fight a surprise attack in this era. There are more than 2 troops stretching endlessly. Even though Zhao Dongting has been marching on remote trails these days, he is not sure whether Jesul has detected information.

All the generals gathered in his tent, Zhao Dongting asked, "How do you think we can win this battle?"

At this time, they were only fifty miles away from Pingnan County.

Yue Peng looked at the sand table in the middle of the camp made with the topographic map drawn by the scouts, and said: "Your Majesty, although Jesul has many soldiers and generals, he wholeheartedly attacked Pingnan County. , Attack the army camp behind him, and the Yuan army will be in chaos. If we can kill Jesul's head in the chaos, then we will almost win."

"Then what if Jesul doesn't attack the city, or pretends?"

Su Quandang pulled up the blue flag on the sand table representing their own army and horse, and said: "The scouts of the Yuan army are always powerful, maybe they have found out the information about our garrison here at this time, if so, Jesul decided to With precautions, if we go to attack his rear army, we may be right in his arms."

Yue Peng frowned and said: "Even if he is prepared, we will fight them. If the defenders in Pingnan County come out and attack the Yuan army with us, we may not have a chance of winning."

"Ha ha."

Zhao Dongting laughed and said, "You can't fight head-to-head like this. If Jesul imagined our army's plan and attacked the city with a small number of troops, the main army will guard us from behind, or the commander-in-chief will sit in the middle army and command the troops. At the same time, Ma was fighting with us and the Xingguo army. Judging from the strength of both sides, not to mention whether we can win, even if we win, I am afraid that we will suffer heavy losses. At that time, we will no longer be able to compete with the Yuan army in Guangxi, and we will be full All lost."

These days, his art of war is not for nothing.

Yue Peng heard the words, his face changed slightly, and he stopped talking.

Zhao Dongting glanced at the generals in the tent, and said: "The art of war says to treat the enemy with righteousness and win with odds. If we want to win this battle with the least loss, the most appropriate way can be sure to capture the Yuan army's general Jesur .As long as Jesul is captured and the Yuan army has no leader, it will be much easier to deal with them. Generals, think about it, how can we capture or kill Jesul? "

Yue Peng, Dong Heli, Zhang Xizai and others all pondered.

Zhao Dongting was also thinking in his heart, the only way to get the chance to get close to Jesur.

Jesul's army attacked Pingnan. In such a siege battle, the commander-in-chief was most likely sitting in the rear and commanding the entire army.But if he already knew the whereabouts of the Song Army, it is inevitable that he would not follow his plan and invite you into the urn.

What needs to be done now is to convince Jesul that they will not directly attack the rear commander's camp.

Suddenly, Zhao Dongting's eyes shone brightly.

He thought of a good idea.

Just as he was about to speak, Su Quandang said, "Your Majesty, why don't we make a big splash?"

Zhao Dongting was slightly taken aback, because Su Quandang actually thought of going with him, and immediately smiled and said, "Pretending to save the city, is it really a surprise attack?"

Su Quandang was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Zhao Dongting to know his plan just now, nodded and said: "That's right. Jesul's army is gathered at the north gate of the county. Our army can pretend to enter the city from the east gate to assist. Defend, and then use a small group of troops to surprise the Jesul camp, capture the thief and the king, and the Yuan army will definitely be defeated."

Dong Heli heard Su Quandang's words from the side, and asked suspiciously: "Then Jesul can sit and watch us enter the city?"

Su Quandang smiled softly: "Whether he lets us enter the city or not, we can take the lead. If we can get to the city, we can completely bombard their army formation with the emperor's dragon cannon. There must be panic, the Xingguo army will fight out from the city again, we will attack the left wing of the yuan thieves, and they will attack the front of the yuan thieves, under such circumstances, Jesul will definitely command the overall situation, and the position of their camp will be exposed as soon as the drum is sounded gone."

Dong Heli asked again: "Then what if he led an army to stop us before we entered the South?"

"hey-hey."

Su Quandang's eyes showed cunning, "If Jesul wants to capture the city, how many troops can he allocate to stop us? With the Emperor's Dragon Cannon, as long as he comes to stop the army with no more than [-] people, we They can be completely swallowed up. Without the [-] troops, Jesul's military strength will not have much advantage, and if they don't abandon the city, they will only end up being gradually eaten away by us!"

"Ok!"

Zhao Dongting patted the sand table lightly and said, "Then deploy according to General Su's method."

He glanced at the generals in the tent again, "In a surprise attack, elite soldiers must be used. Which general is willing to lead the flying dragon army to attack the commander-in-chief camp of the villains?"

"The end will be willing to go!"

"The end will be willing to go!"

It never occurred to him that Dong Heli, Zhang Xizai, Zhang Hongwei, and even Zhao Da and Zhao Hu would stand up after saying this.

The morale of the Southern Song Dynasty can be said to be high now.

"it is good."

Zhao Dongting thought for a while, and said: "Then Zhao Da and Zhao Hu will lead the Flying Dragon Army, and follow me to wait for the opportunity to surprise the Yuan Bandit Commander's Camp. The rest of the army will be mobilized by General Su."

"what?"

All the generals were dumbfounded, Su Quandang said anxiously: "Your Majesty, it's too dangerous to surprise the commander-in-chief camp, you can't go."

Zhao Dongting said with a smile: "Is there any danger in fighting? I follow the army and also want to fight the Yuan thief. Even if I wait here, who would dare to predict that the Yuan thief will not come to attack our handsome camp?"

Su Quandang fell silent.

Zhao Dongting said again: "As long as you and the Yuan army rush to kill, it will be much safer for us to surprise the handsome camp."

He wanted to go this way, but he was actually worried that Zhao Da and Zhao Hu were not cautious enough.The surprise attack on Jesul's camp should not allow the scouts of the Yuan army to show any traces, otherwise the surprise attack will only turn into death.

Although the generals didn't want Zhao Dongting to take risks, they didn't know what to say.

He was right. In war, there is no such thing as absolute security.

On this night, Zhao Dongting took Le Wuhui, Zhao Da, and Zhao Hu, and led [-] flying dragon soldiers to leave the camp at night, and continued to go to Nanxian County.

Wen Qi was familiar with the terrain and followed this team.

When the sky became light, they stopped marching and rested in the depths of the mountain, which was only more than ten miles away from the Yuan army's barracks.

Su Quandang also set off with an army, but with flags unfurled, he marched along the Xunjiang River at a high speed, no longer hiding, and had the momentum to save the city quickly.

All the generals in the army were very solemn, because no one dared to say that they would win even if they had a good plan.

Wars are inherently changeable, and it is very likely that a subtle accident somewhere will cause earth-shaking changes in the entire battle situation.

Outside the city in the north and south of Pingnan, there is a company camp of the Yuan army for more than ten miles.

The Jesul camp is located in the center of the barracks, and there are also many Yuan army generals gathered in the tent at this time.

A scout rushed to the tent and reported: "General, there are more than [-] Song troops marching towards Pingnan on the east bank of Pingnan County. Among the troops, you can see the banner of the guards, the flag of the imperial guards in front of the palace, and... There is also a flag with a stick on it, but it is impossible to tell which army horse it is."

"Oh?"

Jesul, who was sitting in front of the desk inside the handsome camp, was slightly surprised, "They plan to save the city quickly?"

Indeed, two days ago, their scouts discovered that Zhao Dongting led his troops to Pingnan quietly.

Jesur originally expected that the Song army would only be more than 2, so he probably would not choose to fight hard, and the most likely thing would be to surprise their rear army.Now hearing from the scouts that Song Jun gave up concealment and hurried to the east gate of Pingnan, he was naturally surprised.

"Ha ha."

Immediately, Jesul laughed again, "It seems that Song Jun's ability to win the Jinjin is not due to luck, there are capable people in their army!"

He looked at the generals of the Yuan army in the tent, "Everyone, now that the Song army intends to help the city, what do you think should be done?"

A Mongolian general said: "Commander, the marshal told me to take Pingnan as soon as possible. We absolutely cannot let them enter the city."

"No no no."

Jesul waved his hand, "Marshal ordered Ben to take Pingnan quickly because he was worried that the Song army would go north and invade Jingjiang Mansion. Now that the Song army has arrived here, there is no need for us to attack Pingnan. According to General Ben, it is better to let them enter the city and let their two armies join together, and when the marshal sends reinforcements over, we will attack the city and wipe out the Song army and the Xingguo army."

"Hey."

As he said that, he suddenly laughed again, "I heard that the little emperor of the Song Dynasty will go out to fight, and he is also in this army. As long as Pingnan is captured at that time, the Song Dynasty will be destroyed."
