The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 147 Boyan Comes to Help
But just after the arrows were shot at the top of the city, Zhao Hu, Zhao Da and the others were frightened by the sound of arrows whizzing down from the city.

The Yuan army even shot arrows at them in the dark.

Although the arrows fell behind, Zhao Hu still couldn't help cursing, "Shoot all the envoys! Shoot all the envoys! Are there any rules for you Yuan thieves?"

Instead, his shout revealed his position, causing more arrows to shoot at him, so Xuan was not shot to death.

This made Zhao Hu shut up quickly, and just patted his horse and rushed forward.

At this time, the general guarding the city was no longer the previous general who was the commander-in-chief, but a Uighur general, and a serious commander-in-chief.There were four levels in the army of the Yuan Dynasty: Wanhufu, Qianhusuo, Baihusuo, and Paizi. Chief Wanfu commanded Wanhu and was the most senior general in the army. Although there were many followers of the army, there were also enough troops for the real commander. Thousands of people, the status is naturally far from comparable to that of the famous and powerless chief ten thousand.

The difference between the two is like a major general of a combat force and a major general of a song and dance troupe.The military ranks are similar, but the real power is very different.

This Uighur general was naturally trusted by Ali Hague. When he learned that the Song Army had used arrows to shoot letters of persuasion into the city, Ali Hague realized that the Song Army could not be allowed to continue like this.After the banquet, he immediately sent this Uighur general to replace the former partial general's duties in Xucheng.Before letting him come, Ali Hague has a strict order that no one is allowed to leave the city, and no one is allowed to approach the city. Those who come near the city will be killed!

Zhao Dongting's method of persuading him to surrender really made Ali Haiya very nervous, fearing that some generals would not be able to resist surrendering.

He now wants to guard against the Song army outside the city and the generals inside the city, so he has no choice but to send his most trusted generals of the same clan to defend the city.

This general was really loyal, remembering Ali Haiya's words, Zhao Hu and Zhao Da had just approached, and he ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows.It's a pity that the moon was dark and the wind was high, they couldn't see the city from above the city, they could only shoot blindly, and they couldn't cause any damage to the Feilong Army.

"Humph!"

Hearing the sound of the horse's hooves fading away, he snorted heavily, and ordered the soldiers to collect the letter of persuasion.

All the letters of persuasion to surrender that were shot at the top of the city were collected, but he didn't even read them, and burned them all with a torch.

He didn't have much thought, he only faithfully carried out Ali Hague's orders.The two armies clashed, and the morale of the army was the most important thing. He also knew what impact these letters of persuasion might have on the army.To put it more seriously, it is not impossible to cause the entire army to mutiny and kill each other.

However, neither he nor Ali Hague could have imagined that even if they paid enough attention to the surrender letter, it is too late now.

Before, the general just said something that could not be spread, but the soldiers did not take it too seriously. Although they did not dare to blatantly discuss it now, there are endless discussions in private. You pass it to me, I pass it to him, the letter of persuasion The incident spread quietly in Lipu County at an extremely fast speed.

There are too many people who know about it, and military orders can't stop everyone talking.

So the past two days.

The Song army outside the city hadn't attacked the city yet, but they sent troops to shoot letters of persuasion into the city from time to time. After being shot back with arrows by the defending Yuan army one after another, the letters of persuasion stopped shooting, but people gathered outside the city to shout loudly. Shout: "Old Ali has no talent and no virtue..."

The voice is so loud that it can be heard clearly even on the streets of the city, not to mention the top of the city.Song Jun also beat gongs and drums.

This almost didn't piss off the general defending the city and Ali Hague in the city.

And the soldiers who were skeptical about the persuasion to surrender, now completely believed it.

The matter of persuading surrender was completely "ignited" in Lipu County. In the past, soldiers greeted each other with "Are you still hungry?" Now it has become "Have you heard about the Song army's persuasion?"

Ali Hague could no longer stop the persuasion to surrender, and he was anxious all day long.He could only try his best to hold the general in the army.

Therefore, in the past two days, Ali Haiya has been meeting from time to time to announce that the generals will go to the government office to discuss matters, and there is a beating intention in the words, both overtly and secretly.

All in all, if you dare to have other thoughts, I will be rude to you!
All the generals are naturally eager to express their loyalty and are willing to die, but only they know what they think in their hearts.

At this time, Song Jun released another killer move.Zhao Da and Zhao Hu followed Zhao Dongting's wishes and shouted outside the city: "If you don't surrender within two days, the army will attack the city!"

This time they were not just acting, as soon as they finished shouting, there were more than ten cannon shots outside the city.

The grenades were hundreds of meters away from the city wall, and more than a dozen shells were tilted onto the city wall of Lipu County, blowing up the city wall into clutter and flying stones, and even dozens of soldiers of the Yuan army guarding the city were killed.

This kind of deterrence made the Yuan army in the city even more panicked.

They didn't know that the Song Army's shells were running out. They just thought, if the Song Army used this thing to break through the city, how would they hold it?

Now most of the Yuan army in the city is still hungry, and they don't even have the strength to hold a gun. How can they fight the Song army?

On this night, a mutiny broke out in Lipu County.Hundreds of soldiers of the Yuan army suddenly attacked the weakly defended east gate of the Yuan army while patrolling, wanting to leave the city and surrender.

The sound of fighting suddenly resounded in the night.

Although the rebellious soldiers were eventually wiped out by the Yuan army defending the city, the hearts of the Yuan army became more erratic.

Song Jun, who was listening to the movement in the city outside Lipu County, also heard the sound of fighting, and immediately went back to report to Zhao Dongting.

After Zhao Dongting learned of this, a few smiles could not help showing on the corners of his mouth.

Time passed slowly like this.

In two days.

The mutiny among the Yuan army in Lipu County gradually became unstoppable. From time to time, groups of soldiers stormed the city gate, or chose to leave the city secretly from other places.Although the vast majority of them ended in failure, there were quite a few soldiers in the Yuan army who were lost as a result.

More importantly, the generals in the army discovered that there are more and more people in the army who want to leave the city and surrender, and those soldiers have become mysterious.

Because of what?
Because there is no food in the city.

If this continues, there is no need for the Song army to attack the city, and the soldiers in the city will starve to death.

However, Ali Hague's life should not be lost. At this moment, finally a Xinying fell into the army camp.

The eagle-raising soldiers took out the secret letter bound on the eagle's leg, and hurriedly went to the government office to present it to Ali Hague.

Ali Haiya was discussing matters with the generals in the main hall at this time, and when he heard the soldiers say that there was a secret letter from Marshal Boyandu, he stood up from behind the desk in shock, ran to the soldiers and snatched the superstition, then laughed loudly, "God help me, Marshal Boyandu has sent [-] troops to approach Wuzhou! Just wait for the army to break through the city, and our army's crisis will be eliminated!"

Many generals in the hall immediately showed joy.

But some people murmured: "Marshal, forgive me for speaking bluntly, the army has run out of food at this time, how can we survive until the army comes to rescue us?"

Ali Haiya chuckled and said: "First guard the city, if we really can't hold it, we will abandon the city and let the Song army chase after our asses. After we leave the city, we will go east and join the army of Marshal Du as soon as possible. Then the Song army will be wiped out." With the Marshal of the capital's [-] troops, it won't take much time to break Wuzhou, as long as we last for half a month, no, as long as we last for ten days, we will be able to turn defeat into victory in this battle!"

The more he talked, the happier he became, his waist was straightened, and his eyes were full of firmness.

Some of the generals quickly echoed, while others were quietly thoughtful.

Ten days, that's the best case scenario.Judging from the current situation of the army, I'm afraid it may not last even ten days.

However, after they returned to the barracks, they immediately informed the three armies of the news.This finally condensed the scattered military spirit a little bit.

It was a blessing in misfortune to get this news before the Song army attacked the city.

That night, it was rare that there were no soldiers in Lipu County to mutiny again.

In the early morning of the next day, the Song army outside the city marched towards the city gate in mighty form, preparing to attack the city.

At the front are shield soldiers neatly. They are not the kind of sword and shield hands, but special shield soldiers. The shields they hold in their hands are more than one meter high.At a distance of about 500 meters from the city gate of Lipu County, the army stopped without seeing its tail.Shield soldiers stood in front of them with shields, and siege vehicles, catapults, etc. were slowly pushed out of the army formation.

Zhao Dongting personally sits in the middle army, and beside the chariot is the drum array and the ringing gold array.

Several women's carriages were also on the left and right, so the flag soldiers stood high on the carriages, ready to convey Zhao Dongting's orders at any time.

In the front, rear, left, and right armies, each has such a command center.

Su Quandang commanded [-] imperial guards in front of the palace, with flags flying, swords and guns everywhere, and a murderous aura, ready to attack the city at any time.

On the city wall, the generals of the Yuan army watched the Song army all over the mountains and plains, and hurriedly drew their bows and arrows, ready to fight.

Although their strength is higher than that of the Song Army, there is no room for so many people on the top of the city. Seeing so many people in the Song Army, they really feel the pressure.

And what frightened them the most was the dozens of small black things beside the Song army's catapult.

grenade.

Although there are not many shells in the Song army, there are still about a dozen shells.

Because of the news that Boyan came to help, the letter of persuasion failed to completely disintegrate the Yuan army. These more than ten shells became Zhao Dongting's next killer move.
