The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 136 The Decisive Battle at Pingnan ([-])

"coming!"

Hearing the sound of the horn sounding from the city gate, Zhao Dongting's expression became serious instantly, and he immediately asked Zhao Hu to declare to the generals.

The Yuan army suddenly prepared to attack the city, and it could only be that the tunnel was about to be dug through.

It is impossible for Ali Hague to be so foolish as to think that tunnels alone can destroy the city. A two-pronged approach is the safest way.

"emperor!"

"emperor!"

Soon, Wen Tianxiang, Dong Heli, Yue Peng and others all went to the main hall of the government office and saw Zhao Dongting who had just arrived.

Zhao Dongting didn't care to say anything else, and asked Su Quandang, "General Su, have you found out where the Yuan army's tunnel exit is?"

Su Quan bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, the Yuan army has not completely dug through the tunnels, but the general has found clues in more than ten places in the city. Now Lord Donghe has sent soldiers with slabs and firewood to guard them tightly. , as long as the Yuan army digs out the tunnel, it will fall into the siege of our army."

"it is good."

Zhao Dongting nodded approvingly, and raised eyebrows at Yue Peng.

Yue Peng's face was a little embarrassing.

This is the difference between Su Quandang and him. Yue Peng did what Zhao Dongting ordered him to do.But Su Quandang will do it more comprehensively.

Zhao Dongting wanted to train Yue Peng into a general like Su Quandang, after all, he was the first to follow Zhao Dongting.Fighting more depends on Lao Tzu. Even though Yue Peng is charged like this, it can often achieve the effect of making the enemy fearful, but if something unexpected happens to Yue Peng, the morale of his soldiers will also plummet.

"Learn more from General Su in the future."

Zhao Dongting dialed a few words in a nonchalant manner, and then looked at Dongheli, "Master Donghe, the soldiers patrolling the city must not slack off, in case there are still undiscovered Yuan army passages. The Yuan army is likely to attack the city with a two-pronged approach. The soldiers stop the enemy at the top of the city, and there must be no chaos in the city."

"Yes!"

Dongheli bowed to accept the order.

Zhao Dongting nodded, and didn't know what to order, so he said, "Then everyone, go prepare now!"

The generals left in a hurry.

There are no fixed numbers in wars, and all we can do is to do our best to be prepared for all emergencies.

Undoubtedly, Song Jun is now ready.

After counting for 10 minutes, horns were raised outside the city, and the Yuan army array slowly approached Pingnan County.

In the front row are the famous return guns of the Yuan army, there are hundreds of them.There are countless siege equipment such as ladders and siege vehicles in the middle.

In the army, except for those generals, the rest of the soldiers walked.Dozens of military formations lined up along the line, probably as many as [-] to [-].

They moved forward slowly for hundreds of meters, and stopped again when they were about 600 meters away from the city.

The commanders-in-chief of the army galloped in front of the formation, staring solemnly at the head of Pingnan City, and the horses under their seats were pawing the ground with their front hooves uneasily.

The aura of more than one hundred thousand people on both sides gathered together, as if they were colliding violently, causing the air to vibrate violently.

Zhao Dongting had also arrived at the top of the city with Le Wuhui and hundreds of Feilong soldiers. Seeing this scene again, he was still shocked.That's why wars in ancient times could have such a big scene.

On the city wall, the Song army was in full battle.Archers, crossbowmen, slingers, etc., all quietly watched the Yuan army's formation.

Zhao Dongting didn't say anything that made people's blood boil. He just walked over the city wall and patted the shoulders of some soldiers from time to time.But his actions flattered those soldiers, and even puffed up their chests a lot.

In this era, imperial power is supreme.

After more than ten minutes, suddenly, the drums of the Yuan army outside the city resounded.

This kind of war drum is all made of cowhide, and the sound is extremely loud and muffled, and can be heard for several miles.

Almost at the same time, the commanders of the Yuan army raised their weapons high and shouted, "Come on!"

All the horn players in the small army blew their horns together, and the flag bearers on the female carriage waved their red flags forward.The army rushed to the city wall.

However, what they didn't expect was that the ground exploded suddenly after rushing less than a hundred meters.

Many of the soldiers rushing to the front were blown to pieces in an instant.

There are many potholes in the ground.

Landmines buried by Song Jun.

Almost at the same time, there was a sudden loud noise from the top of the city, and dozens of dark things fell towards the formation of the Yuan army.

The commanders of the Yuan army gritted their teeth in hatred, but they had no choice but to shout again and again: "Come on! Go!"

The soldiers were even more helpless, so they had to bite the bullet and continue to rush towards the city wall.Chong could live, but if he didn't, he would only be beheaded by the military commander.

The military discipline of the Yuan army is extremely strict, and those who refuse to obey orders before the battle will be killed!
Ali Hague was sitting in the middle army, watching huge clouds of dust constantly rising from the ground, and the soldiers under his command suffered heavy losses, but there was not much anger on his face.

He was mentally prepared for Song Jun's "demon method".

Even now, he was a little secretly happy.The more fierce the Song army resisted at the top of the city, the looser their defenses in the city might be. Only when the soldiers completely opened up the tunnel and entered the city through the tunnel, at that time, the inside and the outside should cooperate, and Pingnan City would be broken.

As for the lost soldiers, what are they worth?
Since he led the army to fight, countless soldiers have been lost under his command, and the number of enemy troops killed by him will only be more.

Most of the generals who can reach his level are already bearish on the life and death of soldiers.As long as the final victory can be won, no matter how many soldiers are lost, Ali Hague has already mentally prepared that more than half of the more than [-] troops under his command will die in battle.

He stood with his hands behind his back on the chariot, letting the drums beating non-stop.

The soldiers of the Yuan army charged against the mines.

The soldiers in the front row often fell to the ground in patches when they stepped on the landmines, but the soldiers in the back swarmed up again.

In this way, the formation of the Yuan army still seems to be quite tight.

The return gun advanced to a distance of less than 400 meters from the city wall and stopped. All the soldiers pulled the rope with all their strength and threw the huge stone out.

These huge stones were smashed on the walls and heads of the city of Pingnan County, and the gravel flew, and many soldiers of the Song Army were smashed to blood.

Zhao Dongting stood on the top of the city, with hundreds of flying dragon soldiers in front, and fifty grenadiers.Among them, sixteen grenade launchers were hurriedly made by Leizhou Weapons Workshop and sent to Pingnan County.

Seeing the Yuan army's stones hitting the city wall continuously, Zhao Dongting snorted coldly and shouted: "Boom their artillery carts!"

The flying dragon soldier who knelt on one knee behind the grenadier quickly readjusted.

When the cannonball flew out again, it focused on the returning cannons lined up along the line of the Yuan army.

Those return guns were all made of wood, so naturally they couldn't withstand the bombing, and dozens of them were lost soon, which made the commanders of the Yuan army grit their teeth with hatred.

Moreover, at this time, there were also catapults on the top of the city to fight back, and many stones fell towards the Yuan army formation.

Countless soldiers are lost every minute and every second.

And this is just the beginning.Everyone knows very well that the most brutal stage of war is only when the city is under attack.

In the past few minutes, the Yuan army had not yet reached the top of the city. Under the multiple offensives of the Song army's mines, grenades, ballistas, crossbows, and catapults, more than half of the 2 horses of the former army had been lost.Although the Song army at the head of the city suffered losses, they were undoubtedly much smaller.

Seeing this scene in the Chinese army, Ali Haiya's expression sank slightly, and he ordered: "The Chinese army strikes!"

The drums sounded more intensely.

More than [-] people in the middle army of the Yuan army rushed to the city wall behind the front army, shouting and killing.

The shieldmen of the former army rushed tens of meters in front of the city wall, raised their shields to resist the arrows of the Song army, and the archers in the back row fired a volley towards the top of the city wall and returned the favor.

But in any case, Song Jun was condescending and took advantage of it.

The Yuan army under the city obviously suffered a big loss.

Some generals of the Yuan army fell to the ground with arrows.However, this does not affect the overall situation. The soldiers have already arrived in front of the city, so there is no need for them to command.

The tall ladder was pushed to the top of the city facing the arrow feathers. Many soldiers of the Yuan army ran out from under the ladder and rushed to the top of the city on the ladder.

"Fire oil! Rolling stones! Let me throw everything down!"

Yue Peng looked at Yuan's army approaching menacingly, his whole face was flushed, and he kept shouting.

Buckets of boiling kerosene were poured down by the soldiers.

Those Yuan army soldiers who were climbing up the ladder to the top of the city were drenched in kerosene, screamed, fell down, and were annihilated by the crowd in the blink of an eye.

But more soldiers came climbing up the ladder.

Many archers of the Yuan army lowered their bows and shot arrows on the city wall, covering for them to attack the city.

The Chinese army also rushed down to the city wall with their arrow feathers. There were shield soldiers stacked on top of the arhats, which were stacked more than ten layers high, and went straight to the top of the city.Some soldiers rushed towards the top of the city along the shield forming a slope.

On the moat outside the city gate, Yuan soldiers wearing water bags (life jackets) carried the bridge board and jumped into the water with a bang, and put the bridge board on the moat.

Countless soldiers behind rushed to the city gate along the bridge.The siege engine was also pushed over by them, and it kept crashing into the city gate with arrows.

The gate of the city was banged and banged.

Inside the moat, there are already countless corpses of soldiers of the Yuan army floating.

All in all, the Yuan army wanted to break through the city no matter the cost.

However, countless rolling stones, fire oil, and arrows poured down from the top of the city, but they were unable to succeed for a long time.

The former army and the central army of the Yuan army had a total of more than 4 soldiers and horses. They lost countless horses in just two quarters of an hour, but they still failed to grab the top of the city.

The layers of corpses under the city wall looked extremely sad.

There was a slight anxiety on Ali Haiya's face, thinking why the Song army city hadn't broken out yet, but right now, he had no other choice but to bite the bullet and hum: "The rear army attacks!"

The drums beat again.

Shouting and killing.

The catapults of both sides kept shooting at each other, and more than [-] people from the rear of the Yuan army finally rushed to the top of the city.

Ali Hague looked deeply into the city.

He never thought that these troops could easily take down Pingnan City. They were just cannon fodder to attract the firepower of the Song army.

His ultimate move is those elite soldiers in the tunnel.

But he probably never imagined that those elite soldiers in the tunnel are much more difficult than him.
