The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 123 The Battle of Pingnan ([-])

But even so, after a short time, the Yuan army still came out of the camp and stood in front of and on the left side of the barracks. They were all cavalry who were good at charging.

Although Jesul looks rough, strong and fat, he has been with Ali Hague for many years and can be reused. It is not without reason that he commands nearly [-] troops.He is cautious by nature. Although he intends to let the Southern Song army and horses enter the city, he also prevents the Song army from attacking the camp.

In the evening, Su Quandang led more than [-] soldiers to the east gate of Depingnan County.Where the army passed by, the road was trampled and muddy.

Su Quandang used the binoculars to see that the Yuan army's personal soldiers were in order, and he also sighed in his heart, this Jesul is not easy to deal with.

But at this time the three armies had moved, and Zhao Dongting had led the flying dragon soldiers to quietly approach the Yuan camp. Even if the Yuan army was prepared, they had to fight hard.

"Go ask General Yue to come over."

Su Quandang concentrated his attention, ordered the army to stop, and said to the soldiers next to him.

The soldiers took orders and left.

On the top of the city, the soldiers of the Xingguo Army were overjoyed to see the long line of soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty arriving at the foot of the city, their armor bright.

Wen Tianxiang was very anxious, although he had regained consciousness, he was still bedridden, and when he heard the emperor's arrival, his eyes filled with excitement.

Tens of thousands of people in Pingnan City were finally able to temporarily avoid disaster.

Yue Peng galloped up to De Su Quandang and asked, "General Su, what are you calling me for?"

Su Quandang said: "General Yue, I have to trouble you to enter the city in person and notify the military order. When my drum sounds, lead the army out of the north gate!"

"it is good!"

Yue Peng knew that the battle was about to start, but his blood was boiling with enthusiasm, so he led a few soldiers and ran towards the east gate.

On the city, Du Hu saw Yue Peng from a distance, and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly lower the suspension bridge and let General Yue enter the city!"

Pingnan County is surrounded by water on the west and south sides, and the big river flows through it. Wen Tianxiang, as an anti-Yuan army, has already excavated the river channel to run through the east and north sides.The river was five meters wide and four meters deep, and the muddy water was turbid. If the suspension bridge was not installed, Yue Peng's horses would not be able to rush into the city no matter how fast they were.

The horse's hoof stepped on the bridge, making a thumping sound.

There were countless rotting corpses floating in the moat, and bursts of stench filled the nostrils.

If Yue Peng didn't hear about it, he rode his horse up to the city.

Du Hu was already waiting at the gate of the city. Seeing Yue Pengma arrive, he cupped his hands and said with a smile, "General Yue, you came at the right time! Haha!"

In the past few days, the Yuan army attacked the city recklessly regardless of the cost. Although the loss of more than [-] soldiers was lost, the army defending the city and rejuvenating the country also lost a lot.

Up to now, of the more than [-] Xingguo troops led by Wen Tianxiang to Guangxi, there are less than [-] left.If the Yuan army in the Southern Song Dynasty did not arrive, and the Yuan army attacked the city again, even Du Hu himself would feel uneasy, and he didn't think how long Pingnan County could last.

Looking around, the city wall is already riddled with holes.

This is the trace of troubled times, the trace of blood and tears.

Yue Peng bowed his hands to Du Hu, and did not dismount, but hurriedly said: "Please General Du, take me to the military order quickly, I have something important to report!"

"it is good!"

Du Hu immediately turned serious, got on his horse, and galloped into the city with Yue Peng.

When they arrived at the government office, they saw Wen Tianxiang who was ill in bed in Wen Tianxiang's bedroom.

Wen Tianxiang worked hard all day long, and he seldom rested since he led the army to Guangxi. Now he suddenly fell ill and looked emaciated, just like a haggard old man.

"Military orders!"

Yue Peng came to the bed, saw Wen Tianxiang's appearance, felt uncomfortable, and held Wen Tianxiang's hand tightly.

Wen Tianxiang smiled, "I'm fine, General Yue, where is the Emperor?"

He naturally knew about Zhao Dongting's royal expedition. These days, besides sadness, he was more worried about Zhao Dongting's safety.

With Zhao Dongting alive, the Southern Song Dynasty would not be considered dead, and if Zhao Dongting died, then the Southern Song Dynasty would almost be dead.

"The emperor, he..."

Yue Peng opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.If Wen Tianxiang knew that Zhao Dongting led the flying dragon army to attack the camp, he would be frightened and angry again, and his health would be bad.

Wen Tianxiang had such good eyesight, seeing Yue Peng like this, his consciousness was wrong, he coughed twice, and asked, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

Seeing the sickly flush on his face, Yue Peng was even more unwilling to say anything, and only said: "The emperor is in the Chinese army!"

Then he said again and again: "Military aircraft order, I am here with a mission to enter the city. Our army has already prepared for battle at the east gate of the county seat. If we hear the sound of drums later, please also order the military aircraft to order the Xingguo army to open the north gate. Our army attacks the left flank of the Yuan army, and you attack the front of the Yuan army. The two echo each other and beat back the Yuan army."

This matter finally ignored the matter of Zhao Dongting, Wen Tianxiang frowned slightly and said: "We are short of troops, can we beat back the Yuan army?"

Yue Peng said: "Our army has a surprise soldier approaching the enemy's camp first, and will surprise the Yuan army commander's camp at that time!"

Wen Tianxiang thought for a while, then nodded, "Okay! Since the emperor has a plan, the old minister should follow orders."

Yue Peng asked Wen Tianxiang to take good care of his body, and then galloped away from Pingnan County.

The soldiers of the Xingguo Army in the county quickly became busy, and they were in full swing for a while.

In less than half an hour, the Dongmen Song Army took the lead, and the army slowly approached the Yuan army camp.

Jesul was quite surprised when he learned that the Song army had approached in the camp, "Are they going to switch from defense to offense?"

A general snorted, "Master, according to the last general, they only won a few victories, so they don't know the heights of heaven and earth. Our Dayuan cavalry is already standing in formation on the left flank. If they dare to charge and kill them, our army will definitely kill them. No piece of armor will be left behind!"

Jesul himself didn't think there were any loopholes in his arrangement, and nodded lightly when he heard the words, "Order the three armies, prepare for battle!"

"Yes!"

The generals in the camp led the way.

Jesul waved his hand, and on both sides of the self-camp, gorgeously dressed dancers came out and danced gracefully.

The sound of silk and bamboo is continuous.

Now that the territory of the Yuan Dynasty is vast and the soldiers are extremely prosperous, veterans like them who have fought for many years have learned to enjoy it more and more.

Su Quandang led the army, with the cavalry of the guards led by Yue Peng as the vanguard, and the rest of the cavalry lined up along a diagonal line, forming a wild goose formation. After a while, they were only a few hundred meters away from the Yuan army's cavalry.

But the army continued to press forward.

On the top of the wall, Liu Zijun, Du Hu and others watched nervously.

The Yuan army's long spears were already raised high, and the leading generals lined up in front of the formation, waving their hands ready to fall.

Su Quandang sat on the horse and walked leisurely, but he was silently calculating the distance in his heart.Only when the shells can hit the rear of the Yuan army can they have a deterrent effect.

Right now, the effect of deterrence is far more important than killing those Xu Yuanjun.

Soon the distance between the two armies was no more than two hundred meters.

This distance is already the most suitable distance for cavalry to charge.

The outstretched palms of the generals of the Yuan army gradually closed, the horses on both sides neighed uneasy, and a big battle was about to start.

But at this time, Su Quandang suddenly raised his gun and shouted: "Stop!"

The army stopped slowly.

Su Quandang looked towards Yue Peng to the side.

Yue Peng understood, galloped forward and shouted: "Who of the enemy general dares to fight with me?"

In this era, before the two armies rushed to fight, it was common for lieutenant generals to fight each other.Because those who can win, the morale will inevitably increase.

Immediately in front of the Yuan army, a general galloped out, "Who are you? Tell me your name!"

Although Zhao Dongting won three victories in a row, in the hearts of these generals of the Yuan army, the impression that the generals of the Song army were weak did not change much.

In their view, the generals of the Song army dared to call for battle. Isn't this just courting death?
Yue Peng shouted coldly: "Yue Peng! Heh!"

Then he flattered his horse and rushed towards the general.

The wind swept the dust, the flags of the two armies were drumming, and the soldiers on both sides raised their blades and shouted, "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Yue Peng and Yuan drew their horses closer, and stabbed straight at each other with their weapons.

This Yuan general is also using a long spear, and the two of them have met their own family.

In the past few months, Yue Peng has experienced flesh and blood on the battlefield, and his marksmanship is more proficient than before, and his murderous aura is even more intense.

"kill!"

He roared loudly, and fought several moves with Yuan Jun, but the two horses missed each other.

Then the two reined in their horses at the same time, turned their heads, and charged again.

The shouts of the soldiers of the two armies were earth-shattering.

This Yuan army general's spear skills are also not bad, you come and go, and soon there are several back and forth with Yue Peng.

However, his hands were trembling slightly, seeing Yue Peng's angry eyes, he was still breathing calmly, already feeling timid.

At this time, fighting is not as particular as before, and after two more rounds with Yue Peng, he saw that it was difficult to win, so he pulled his horse and ran to the front of the battle.

"drink!"

Yue Peng didn't go after him either, he raised his gun and shouted.

"Fire the gun!"

At this moment, Su Quandang finally swung his raised hand down suddenly.

More than twenty grenadiers exploded in unison.

The artillery shells fell on the formation of the cavalry of the Yuan army, blowing up people's backs.

The Chinese army suddenly became a little confused.

The generals of the Yuan army were shocked.

They clearly didn't see the catapult in the Song army's formation, but they didn't understand what happened to the explosion.

Seeing some signs of chaos in the formation of the Chinese army, they didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly shouted: "Dayuan warriors, charge and kill!"

The horseshoes rolled, and the cavalry of the two armies rushed over with shouts.

The sound of cannons is still ringing.

The two armies fought for less than ten minutes, when the north gate of Pingnan County suddenly opened, and countless Xingguo cavalry rushed out.

In the rear of the Yuan army, there was a sudden sound of drums.
