The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 128 Horseshoes

The soldiers at the rear of the Yuan army saw that the front row surrendered like a mountain, and some of them continued to kneel down, but they didn't even think that they had no chance to win.People have the bad habit of following the masses. The camp of the Yuan army stretched for several miles, and many soldiers in the back row didn't even know what happened. They only saw the robes in front of them surrendering one after another, and they threw away their weapons.Some commanders did not want to surrender, but they had no choice but to see the general trend.

So on such a rainy night, except for a few who escaped in the chaos, and those soldiers who were originally in the barracks fled, most of the rest of the Yuan army abandoned their weapons and surrendered.Looking at the surrendering Yuan army all over the mountains and plains, shaped like vegetation in the dark night, the soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty cheered endlessly.

Wen Qi stayed beside Zhao Dongting with tears in his eyes.

Some soldiers hurried to collect the Yuan army's weapons and bound the commander.

Su Quandang frowned, "Your Majesty, how should we deal with so many soldiers?"

Zhao Dongting was also in trouble, hesitating for a long time, before saying: "The Han soldiers in their army try their best to persuade them to surrender, and the Jurchen soldiers will be detained for now, and Wan Yanzhang will come to persuade them to surrender later. As for the rest of the clan... all the Mongolian generals beheaded, and the soldiers Take them into custody first, and send them to mine after the war is over!"

"emperor……"

Su Quandang hesitated and said, "It's inconvenient for so many troops to be detained, and we're afraid of mutiny. Let's not kill them?"

The mutiny of the Yuan Army in Quzhou Island still haunts him to this day.In that battle, the Southern Song Dynasty almost lost.

Zhao Dongting sighed, "If I kill him again, I'm afraid I'll bear the reputation of being a tyrant through the ages..."

If there were thousands of people, Zhao Dongting would be cruel, maybe he would kill them anyway, anyway, he would not stay by and watch, but right now the Yuan army has tens of thousands of soldiers, so many people, if they were all killed, it would be a waste of time. Even thinking about it, Zhao Dongting felt a little terrified.

Kindness has its limits.However, killing must also be restrained.

The population in this troubled world is already running low, and Zhao Dongting doesn't want to wait until he finally stabilizes the situation, but there are only two or three big cats and kittens left in the whole world.

Moreover, he really couldn't bear to order him to kill so many people and commit so many murders.

He doesn't have that much hostility, at least...not now.

In other words, Su Quandang actually said that if he really wanted to risk the world's disgrace and kill so many soldiers, he would feel apprehensive.

Seeing what Zhao Dongting said, he nodded and said: "The generals of the Yuan army's commander-in-chief and above are all killed, so as not to cause another mutiny."

"You can figure it out."

Zhao Dongting answered concisely, and without waiting for Yue Peng and Dong Heli to come back, he let Su Quandang take full charge of cleaning the battlefield, and took Wen Qi, Wang Yiyuan, Le Wuhui, and [-] Feilong soldiers to Pingnan County went.

In the battle of attacking the camp, the Flying Dragon Army was caught by surprise and was unprepared. When the Yuan Army was flustered, they could not take any effective resistance. Therefore, only more than [-] soldiers of the Feilong army were killed in battle.

Yes, with this little loss, hundreds of Yuan troops were beheaded.

In ancient times, it was inconvenient to command wars, and sometimes the results were indeed so unimaginable.

Wen Qi foolishly followed Zhao Dongting into the city, a little dazed, "Your Majesty, are we going in like this?"

"Otherwise what else do you want to do?"

Zhao Dongting couldn't laugh or cry and said: "The victory and defeat have been decided, of course I went to the city to rest, and I'm still growing up!" He couldn't help touching his buttocks, the bumps since the expedition really made Zhao Dongting There is an unbearable burning pain in her white and tender buttocks.

Wen Qi looked out of the city again, as if he still had a feeling that he still had something to say.The scene just now stirred up all his blood.

He felt that fighting with the emperor seemed much more enjoyable than fighting with his father.

This is also something that can't be helped, after all Wen Tianxiang's focus is on defense.

"what……"

At this time, Zhao Dongting suddenly felt that the horse under his seat staggered, and then turned up a little bit.

He stopped the soldiers, dismounted and led the horse for a few steps, only to find that the horse was really lame.

How is this going?

Zhao Dongting looked at the horses of the flying dragon soldiers behind him again, and suddenly found that there were not a few horses with lame legs.

His eyes suddenly lit up, trying to figure out the key point.At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, although there were such things as horseshoes, they were not yet popular.

These days, he has ignored this little problem of the past, because except for today's attack on horseback, he spent most of the rest of his time with the army sitting in a chariot.

There are many gravels on the roads in Guangxi, and the horseshoes are only wrapped in rags, but they cannot stand the friction of the stones at all.

If it goes on like this, it won't take long, and I'm afraid this war horse will have to be abolished.

Zhao Dongting looked at Wen Qi beside him, and asked, "Wen Qi, have the horses in our army suffered a lot in the past?"

"It's very big. There are many war horses that can't run away after several battles. They can only be slaughtered and eaten." Wen Qi didn't know why Zhao Dongting asked this suddenly, but he answered honestly.

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly, and said to Zhao Da: "Zhao Da, let the quartermasters who accompany the army come to see me later."

Zhao Da took the order.

Zhao Dongting got on his horse again and headed for the city without any haste.

Not long after, they arrived at the government office of Depingnan County.When the defenders of the Xingguo Army heard that the emperor had arrived, they knelt down one after another.

Zhao Dongting brought some soldiers and horses, and asked Wen Qi to take him to the government office to meet Wen Tianxiang who was still sick in bed.

When Wen Tianxiang saw Zhao Dongting enter the house, he still struggled to get up to pay his respects. Zhao Dongting hurriedly ran over, "Don't be too polite in the military order, don't be too polite."

Then he forced Wen Tianxiang down again.

Wen Qi also came over, worried: "Father, are you feeling better?"

Wang Yiyuan's pretty face blushed beside her, as if dyed with the red glow from the sky, she was flushed, she wanted to ask, but she didn't dare to speak.

Wen Tianxiang glanced directly at Wen Qi, looked at Wang Yiyuan who was very close to Wen Qi, and asked, "Who is this girl?"

With his sharp eyesight, of course he could tell that there was something wrong between Wen Qi and Wang Yiyuan.

But what's going on here?

Why did my son run out of the city to report a letter to the emperor for help, and when he came back, there was an extra girl?

Wang Yiyuan murmured and called Uncle Wen, but said the rest happily.Wen Qi also felt a little hot on his face.

Seeing the two of them like this, Zhao Dongting couldn't help laughing, and then told Wen Tianxiang about Wang Yiyuan's life experience and how she met Wen Qi.

"Good! Good!"

After hearing this, Wen Tianxiang finally showed some joy on his face, "So it's Yiyuan's niece, okay, okay!"

"Military order, you still call Miss Wang your niece? The marriage between her and your son was decided by you." Zhao Dongting joked beside him.

Wen Tianxiang looked at Wang Yiyuan, and tentatively said: "The old man will call you... daughter-in-law in the future?"

Wang Yiyuan couldn't hold back his embarrassment, although he was full of joy, he couldn't answer, just nodded slightly.

Wen Tianxiang suddenly smiled more comfortably, and he seemed a little more energetic.

"Congratulations to Jun Jiling for being a virtuous daughter-in-law..."

Zhao Dongting congratulated with a smile, and then told Wen Tianxiang the results of the battle outside the city.

This made De Wen Tianxiang even more happy, and couldn't wait for Wen Qi to lead someone to take Wang Wenfu over.

Zhao Dongting was a little worried, and said: "It's getting late now, Wen Qi should go tomorrow! At this time, Elder Wang has already fallen asleep."

Wen Qi nodded.

At this time, Zhao Da also reported outside the door, "Your Majesty, the quartermaster has arrived."

Zhao Dongting nodded, and the general quartermaster came in, and then asked someone to give him a pen and paper, hurriedly drew a picture of a horseshoe, and handed it to the quartermaster, saying: "Let the blacksmiths in the army process and rush to make this thing, and then distribute it to everyone." Soldiers, nailed to the horseshoe."

The quartermaster had some knowledge, and took the blueprint, "Your Majesty, does this seem to be a barbarian item?"

In this era, horseshoes have appeared in the north.

Zhao Dongting said: "It doesn't matter whether he is a barbarian or not, with this thing, the loss of our army's horses can be greatly reduced."

Hearing this, the quartermaster hurriedly took orders.

Zhao Dongting asked Wen Tianxiang to rest more, and didn't bother Wen Tianxiang any more. He asked Wen Tianxiang to arrange the room, and went to the room.

The surprise attack on the Yuan army's camp can be regarded as his first time to fight on the battlefield in person. In fact, by this time, his mood has not calmed down.

Wen Qi and Wang Yiyuan also planned to leave, but Wen Tianxiang stopped them.Wen Tianxiang greeted Wang Yiyuan, asked about Wang Wenfu's situation, and talked about their engagement before, which made both Wang Yiyuan and Wen Qi extremely shy.

In the room, although Zhao Dongting was tired, he still did not forget to practice the internal skills and internal skills in the room.

Men, always hope that they have outstanding abilities in that area.

In the early morning of the next day, some soldiers reported outside that General Su, General Yue and others asked to see him, and all the commanders of the Yuan army had been escorted over.
