The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 135 The Decisive Battle at Pingnan ([-])

At dusk, the tents of the Yuan army had been completely lined up, stretching out for a distance of more than ten miles, all of which were white tents with pointed roofs like yurts.

The soldiers of the Song army on the top of the city couldn't help muttering, wondering what the Yuan army was trying to do.In previous wars, it was not uncommon to camp directly outside the city, because this was tantamount to giving the opponent a chance to attack the camp for nothing.

Is the Yuan thief so arrogant?Think I can't wait to attack the camp?
All the soldiers of the Song Dynasty at the head of the city were indignant.

However, more than two months have passed, and the commander-in-chief of the army has no plan to lead the army to attack Yuanying.As for Yuanying, there was still no movement.

The Song army was inside the city, and the Yuan army was outside the city. The two armies confronted each other in a very strange atmosphere, with murderous intent, but no one attacked first.

If you don't know, I'm afraid Mo will think that the two armies are originally from the same branch.

Yue Peng was quite impatient, so he asked Zhao Dongting to lead troops to attack the Yuan army's camp more than ten times, but Zhao Dongting refused all of them.

These days, Zhao Dongting went to the top of the city to observe the Yuan army every day, and found nothing unusual.And in this case, there is no abnormality, and that is the biggest abnormality.

With so many soldiers in the Yuan army, they set up camps and did not attack the city. How much pressure would there be on logistical supplies alone?
Ali Hague is obviously taking his life and wasting time.

Zhao Dongting had seen the Yuan army's logistics troops pouring into the Yuan army's camp several times. Even with the accumulation of Yuan army's material and financial resources on Guangxi South Road, it would not be possible to persist for too long.Even if they fight for food, with the current situation in Guangxi, they can't afford to support so many people if all the food is taken away by them.

But Ali Hague was so quietly exhausted, then, there is only one possibility, that is, he is brewing a big killer move.

However, Zhao Dongting and the others didn't know what kind of ultimate move he was planning, and the Yuan army was very quiet day and night.It's just a hunch that when that ultimate move appears, Pingnan County may be in danger of overturning.

It's a pity that both sides are ready to fight, and it is not easy to send a spy to investigate the situation of the Yuan army.

For more than two months, spies from both sides have died for an unknown number of waves.

Zhao Dongting seemed a little worried, always feeling that a huge crisis was looming over Pingnan County.

On the Yuan Army's side, Ali Hague was also anxious.

His logistical supplies are indeed already very difficult. If the tunnels are not dug through, the soldiers under his command may be reduced to digging wild vegetables to eat.

But in this day and age, it is really not that easy to dig through a tunnel more than two miles away.

The moat outside the city of Pingnan County meant that their tunnels would need to be dug extremely deep, otherwise, they would not even be able to pass through the moat.And if the tunnel can't go straight to the city, then it doesn't make much sense.Only by being able to get close to Song Jun in an instant can Song Jun be wary of using the "porcelain jar" as a big killer.

Tunnels five or six meters deep into the surface often encounter rock formations and need to be diverted.Changed back and forth, sometimes in the wrong direction.

Ali Hague wanted to send people to explore the land in the city, but they never returned.

In order to prevent the Song army from discovering the clues, they only dared to dig holes during the day and transport soil at night.

In this way, many factors added up, and the progress of the Yuan army digging tunnels was so slow that it made people feel hairy.

However, in order to achieve the final victory, this is the most convenient way, and the way to reduce losses the most.Therefore, Ali Haiya gritted his teeth, and after beheading a few logistics officials, he insisted on forcing the logistics to transport the general food according to the number.

Fortunately, up to now, the tunnel seems to be almost reaching the city.

Ali Hague intends to spread flowers everywhere, ordering the soldiers to dig the tunnel underground in the city, and then spread it like a spider web. At that time, countless troops will suddenly emerge from the tunnel, and they will definitely be able to take Pingnan County in one fell swoop.

On this day, Zhao Dongting led the generals to observe the Yuan army camp at the top of the city.

He frowned, and kept thinking, "What the hell is Ali Hague trying to do?"

This question has been haunting his mind for many days, but he discussed it with the generals every day, but there was no result.

The Yuan army is still two miles away from Pingnan County, and there is a moat outside the city. No one would have thought that the Yuan army would be willing to spend a lot of money digging tunnels.

After watching for a whole morning, Zhao Dongting still had no idea, shook his head, left the city and went to the government office.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he bumped into Zhao Hu running back excitedly with a rabbit in his hand.

These days Zhao Dongting is surrounded by many people all the time, the killer Li Ge has not appeared, he and Zhao Da are too busy, often disguised as ordinary people and go to the west mountain outside the city to get some game , Zhao Dongting didn't bother to take care of them.The Yuan army was stationed outside the east gate of the city, and there was no danger to the west.

"emperor!"

Seeing Zhao Dongting, Zhao Hu grinned, "I'm lucky today, I got a rabbit from the hole, and I can give you a tooth sacrifice tonight."

Zhao Dongting was startled when he heard the words, as if a flash of light flashed in his head, "What did you say?"

Zhao Hu blinked his eyes, "I got a rabbit, can I give you a tooth sacrifice at night?"

"Where did you get the rabbit?" Zhao Dongting asked hastily again.

Zhao Hu was a little confused, "Outside the city...the mountain, on the mountain! As soon as the rabbit came out of the hole, my brother and I set a trap and bound its legs."

In the hole!

"Hold!"

Zhao Dongting cursed angrily in his heart, turned his head to Wen Tianxiang excitedly and said, "Maybe I know what Yuan Jun is doing!"

Wen Tianxiang and the others couldn't relate Zhao Hu's words to the cave, and they all looked at Zhao Dongting in puzzlement.

Zhao Dongting said: "They may be digging a tunnel and want to go straight to the city!"

Swish, Wen Tianxiang and the others' expressions all changed.

Zhao Hu was at a loss as he pinched the rabbit.

Wen Tianxiang and Su Quandang are all smart people, when they heard what Zhao Dongting said, they felt a chill run from their feet to their spines.

Most of the troops in the city were stationed at the city wall. If the Yuan army dug a tunnel directly into the city, they would be caught off guard.

When he came back to his senses, Yue Peng stomped his feet and cursed: "These gangsters are sinister!"

On the other hand, Yue Peng said: "The last general will lead people to look around the city." After speaking, he turned and ran away.

Zhao Dongting looked towards Dongheli with a slightly sullen face, "Lord Donghe, order the God Beggar Army to form forty teams of a hundred people, and keep searching in the city. If you see Yuan troops coming out of the ground, kill them immediately. "

"Order!"

Dongheli took orders and was about to leave.

"and many more!"

Zhao Dongting thought about it and said: "Go and prepare enough firewood, slightly wet it with water, pour burning oil on it, and when the Yuan army digs the tunnel, let's use fireworks to smoke the Yuan rabbit!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help showing a slight smile in his eyes.Digging tunnels, Yuan Jun is here to seek death!
Dong Heli nodded with a smile and left in a hurry.

Zhao Dongting looked at Zhao Hu again, "Zhao Hu, go and order the supervisor to forge iron bars several meters long and tie them into a square shape, and then use them to block the tunnel."

"Yes!"

Zhao Hu bowed, and lifted the rabbit in his hand, "Then this rabbit..."

Zhao Dongting said with a smile, "This rabbit has made great achievements. Tonight, I will use him to make teeth sacrifices."

Zhao Hu grinned, handed the rabbit to the soldiers at the gate of the government office, and hurriedly ran towards the supervisor.

Wen Tianxiang's face was no longer so solemn, and he said with a smile: "The emperor is planning to use the method of dealing with rabbits to deal with the Yuan army..."

Zhao Dongting said: "How can you not want the rabbit that was delivered to your door?"

All the generals are happy.

Although it is still not certain that the Yuan army is digging a tunnel, the possibility seems to be extremely high.

They are waiting for work in the city, obviously occupying enough initiative.Thinking of the Yuan army's hard work digging the tunnel, but in the end they were so ashamed by the smoke, everyone couldn't help being excited.

For several days, firewood and hay continued to gather in the barracks from all over the city.

In this day and age, cooking depends entirely on firewood, and every household has a lot of firewood, so it is really easy to get it.

The manufacturing supervision department is also processing and rushing to make iron bars.

Later, Zhao Dongting personally drew pictures and asked them to send them over, and added spikes to these iron bars.

The sky was a little gloomy today, and it was no longer so hot.

The Yuan army finally moved.

The sound of horns on the east side of the city suddenly resounded. Outside the camp of the Yuan army, countless soldiers gathered, flags fluttered, and all kinds of siege equipment were pushed out from the camp.

The Yuan army is about to attack the city.
