The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1372 The Battle of Weizhou ([-])

Probably because they were eager to help Weizhou City, this Yuan army didn't even let the scouts take the lead in investigating the situation.

It wasn't until tens of meters further forward that the vanguard general in front of the army vaguely recalled it.

He frowned slightly and raised his hand abruptly.

The army stopped.

Then he galloped towards the army.

Going under the banner, he said to the chief general of the Yuan army, "General, there is definitely something wrong with the last general. There is so much smoke in the city, but why are there so few gunshots?"

The master general gasped, "What do you mean..."

Then hurried down and said: "Let the scouts go forward and check to see if there is a Song army in ambush!"

It stands to reason that with the Song Army's [-] troops, if it hadn't been for an all-out attack on the city, it shouldn't have caused such smoke to billow in the city.

However, if the Song army was attacking the city with all its strength, there would be no reason for the gunfire to be so sparse.

This undoubtedly made the chief general of this Yuan army feel puzzled.

Now that he was outside Weizhou city, he didn't want to risk his life any longer.It is only two miles away from Weizhou City, within sight, so a little delay is not a big problem.

As his general conveyed, scouts soon ran out of the army, towards the front of the official road, and the mountains on both sides.

In the dense forest, more than ten thousand soldiers of the Tianqiao Army are hiding here.

On both sides of Weizhou City are majestic mountains, hiding more than ten thousand soldiers is no problem at all.

Qiu Muke, commander of the Tianqiao Army, is a veteran in the army. He is about 40 years old, of medium build, and looks quite capable. He is the former commander of the seventh regiment of the Tianqiao Army.

During the Battle of Fujian, he followed Chen Diaoyan and led the army out of the city. His military exploits were the most outstanding, and his qualifications in the army were sufficient, so he was a veteran. Therefore, when Zhao Dongting formed a new imperial army, he was promoted to For the commander of Qiaojun today.The deputy commander and Du Yuhou of the Tianqiao Army were also the former deputy commanders and Du Yuhou of the Tianqiao Army.

In the battle in Fujian, the establishment of their seventh regiment was almost wiped out, with less than 200 people per thousand, and even Qiu Muke was seriously injured.

Zhao Dongting made him the commander of the Tianqiao Army, which was not a way of making up for it.At the same time, it also has the meaning of promoting the rest of the Song Dynasty's army to fight the enemy bravely, using the Seventh Regiment as an example.

Seeing Yuan's army stop suddenly, Qiu Muke frowned slightly.

Then he looked to the side of Du Yuhou Pei Yuande and said, "Old Pei, these Yuan soldiers may have discovered something."

Pei Yuande, who was a few years older than him, nodded, and said with some regret: "Unfortunately, they haven't entered our best attack range yet."

"I can't control that much anymore."

Qiu Muke tightened the Shenlong gun in his hand, and said: "Send the order, let the soldiers get ready to attack!"

Things in the world are not always as expected.

Qiu Muke thought, instead of letting the Yuan army find out that his Tianqiao army was ambushing here, it would be better to rush out first, at least to be able to take the initiative in terms of momentum.

"Brothers, kill!"

When he saw a scout from the Yuan army running out, Qiu Muke no longer hesitated, and shouted loudly.

This cry can be said to have opened the prelude to the decisive battle in Weizhou.

Soldiers of the Tianqiao Army came out of the forest one by one, everywhere, and rushed towards the Yuan army on the official road like a tide.

Immediately afterwards, on the side of the official road, there were also shouts of killing.

The charge trumpet sounded.

Shan Cailiang, deputy head of the Tianqiao Army, saw Qiu Muke launch an attack, and led the soldiers to rush out from the dense forest.

He is still quite young, probably less than 30 years old, but he is already considered an old seniority in the army. He joined the army at the age of 16, and then spent half a year wandering overseas with the small imperial court. It was not until Zhao Dongting won power in Naozhou and fought against the Yuan army that he gradually accumulated military exploits and became a centurion in the army.

Afterwards, this young but ideal young centurion studied hard in the army again.

He is not that kind of talented person. He had never studied before, and it took him five full years to succeed in becoming a Confucian general and Jinshi.The effort involved in this process is unimaginable.

It's just that he also appeared in the field of vision of Chen Diaoyan and others because of this.

After he became a Confucian general, within half a year, Chen Diaoyan promoted him to be the deputy head of the seventh regiment.From now on, becoming the deputy commander of the Tianqiao Army can be described as a success.

Even though there are quite outstanding Confucian generals and fierce generals appearing every year in the Song Dynasty, there are still only a handful of people who can have such a status as good talents.

As he and Qiu Muke led their troops to rush out at the same time, the Yuan army on the official road inevitably became a little flustered.

Being attacked by the enemy before the confrontation started, this situation is undoubtedly extremely passive.

The chief general of the army hurriedly shouted: "Array! Meet the enemy!"

The military flag waved.

The generals of the Yuan army moved accordingly, but perhaps because they were too frightened, they seemed a little flustered.

The vanguard general also hurriedly patted his horse and galloped towards the front of the army, trying to stabilize the situation.

Gunshots sounded.

The explosion of thunder and thunder also rang.

Hiding in the dense forest, the soldiers of the Detianqiao Army were unable to use the grenades, but the thunder was enough to make these Yuan troops frightened.

Fighting started like this.

The soldiers of the Tianqiao Army seized the opportunity, and seeing these Yuan troops scattered, they were as imposing as a rainbow.

The old soldiers are even more leading the way.

In the Great Song Army, every enemy's head means a huge reward.

Zhao Dongting has worked hard to develop the economy of the Song Dynasty over the years, and the court does not know how much money he has earned.But until now, there is not much money left in the national treasury. Apart from improving people's livelihood in various places, Zhao Dongting has spent almost all of the money on building the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty.As you can imagine, what a huge amount that was.

As the forbidden army who wanted to charge for the Song Dynasty, Zhao Dongting spent more than several times as much money on them as the defenders.

Although it cannot be said that the soldiers of the Forbidden Army can live comfortably in this life by beheading a few heads, but as long as they can be promoted to a very high level in the army by virtue of their military merits, and they don't spend money lavishly, their savings will definitely be enough when their service period expires. Support them to go back and start other businesses.

After all, Zhao Dongting came from a later age, and most of the money in the Song Dynasty treasury was used for ideas.

On the periphery of the Yuan army's formation, soldiers were shot and fell to the ground one by one.

The veterans of the Tianqiao Army rushing to the front were even more like wolves and tigers.

No matter what they say, they are old soldiers, but they can't lose face in front of those recruits.

There are more than [-] soldiers in the Tianqiao Army, including a total of ten regiments including the special regiment.At this time, even the grenade shooters and sky gunners charged forward with their Shenlong guns.

Even the Huotou army in the army joined the battle.

This is Zhao Dongting's elite soldier policy.

In the Imperial Army of the Great Song Dynasty, even if it was a groom who raised horses, he was also a strong man who could carry a gun on the battlefield.

The annual political review and assessment are enough for the Great Song Imperial Army to go to the trouble of seeking perfection.

The long Yuan army team gradually became more scattered.

Even when the fighting had just started, there were veteran soldiers lying on the ground pretending to be dead, or simply galloping away and becoming deserters.

They are all "experienced" people, even more vicious than some generals.At this time, he realized that defeat was inevitable.

They fought wars just for food, and there was no need to risk their lives for it.

After all, the current Yuan army is no longer the elite cavalry that came out of the grassland with a sweeping momentum.

In order to expand rapidly, Kublai Khan kept recruiting soldiers, but at the same time he forgot to appease the Han people, and even spared no effort to exploit them. This had already laid hidden dangers for the Yuan army.

Although decades have passed, these soldiers of the Han nationality did not have the consciousness to die for the Yuan Dynasty.

Of course, most of the soldiers still obeyed the military order and resisted the soldiers of the Tianqiao Army on the spot.

It's just that they can't recover from the decline.

The soldiers of the Tianqiao Army have more and more advanced firearms, higher fighting qualities, higher morale, and far more awareness than the Yuan Army.In all aspects, these Yuan armies are suppressed.

From the moment this Yuan army appeared here, their defeat was already doomed.

If not, Feng Hebi would not have suggested to Zhang Guangbao that the soldiers of the Tianqiao Army should come to stop the Jiuzhai Yuan Army in the east of Weizhou City.

The combat effectiveness of the army is not just about the equipment. Even the Yuan army with firearms cannot compare with the imperial army of the Song Dynasty.It can only be said that it is more difficult for the Imperial Guards of the Great Song Dynasty to eliminate them than before.

This is destined to be a crushing battle.
