The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1519
Then he said with a smile: "The Song army surrounded and did not attack, which saved us a lot of energy."

"Yes!"

Arahan smiled and said, "We just wait for work with ease. They want to surround us in this city of Suqian, in an attempt to take down Xiapi first, and then deal with us. Hmph, we have two thousand cavalry hiding outside the city. If the time comes If Pi is in a hurry, they can be caught off guard and help Xiapi directly!"

Simu Qi said: "Then shall we start making preparations to help Xiapi?"

Arakhan nodded and said, "It should be so."

The Yuan army gathered tens of thousands of troops in Suqian. In comparison, the troops in Xiapi were much weaker.After all, their total strength in the south of Shanxi East Road at this time is only that much.

If the imperial guards of the Great Song Dynasty went to the lower Pi, it would be a matter of time before they went to the lower Pi.

Although Arakhan was defeated by the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, he was also an experienced veteran in the Yuan Dynasty.Of course, it is impossible not to understand this point.

The reason for gathering heavy troops in Suqian is to push the front line as far as possible to the edge of southern Xinjiang.This can slightly hinder the pace of the imperial army of the Song Dynasty to attack the city and seize the land.

And just wait until Halbala leads the army to arrive, then it will be the time for them to really confront the Imperial Guards of Song Dynasty.

Not long after, there was already smoke rising from the surrounding area of ​​Suqian City.

The Imperial Guards of the Great Song Dynasty started cooking while camping.

The same is true in the city.

Arakhan and Simuqi reduced many soldiers who were defending the city.

Now that the imperial guards of the Great Song Dynasty have made it clear that they are going to besiege the city, if they think about it, the Song army will certainly not attack the city easily.There is no need to put all the soldiers on the top of the city.

Human energy is limited, rather than letting the soldiers guard the city boredly, it is better to let them recuperate and rest until they break through in the future.

In this way, until the whole afternoon passed, there was still no movement from the Imperial Guards of the Great Song Dynasty.

Night falls.

He Fangsong and Jin Hao brought several offerings to Wen Qi's military tent.

As soon as he entered the account, He Fangsong said with a smile: "General Wen, we have seen that the Yuan army at the head of the city has decreased a lot. It seems that they have fallen into the trap."

Wen Qi stood up and nodded with a smile: "I noticed that too. Hehe, I reckon, that general Yuan must have thought that we really wanted to besiege the city!"

"Ha ha!"

He laughed out loud as he spoke.

They had no intention of besieging the city from the beginning.

Even looking at it since Zhao Dongting pulled the Great Song Imperial Army from Naozhou, he has never done anything similar to besieging the city.Even if the city is besieged, it will not last too long.

There is of course a reason for this.

The imperial army of the Great Song Dynasty never abused the people, so there is no reason for the people to fall into a situation of food shortage.

It is conceivable that if the imperial army of the Song Dynasty besieged the city for many days and the Yuan army in the city was short of food, they would inevitably rob the people of food.In the end, it was the people who were injured.

Such a thing, the Imperial Guards of the Song Dynasty would never do it.

It's a pity that Arakhan and Simuqi were thinking about the problem with their habitual thinking, and they didn't think of this.Otherwise, they wouldn't feel that the Great Song Imperial Army was preparing to besiege the city.

After sitting down in Wen Qi's military tent, Jin Hao said with a smile: "The defense of the city is much weaker now, should we let the priests take action to test them?"

Wen Qi shook his head when he heard the words, and said: "I don't think it will work anymore. When the two armies are fighting, the strategy of assassinating the opponent's general has long been seen. If the Yuan army in Suqian City is weak, it will be fine. After all, they have gathered tens of thousands. The army, I thought, might be accompanied by some masters of the rivers and lakes. If the priests are allowed to assassinate rashly, I am worried that the priests will encounter some dangers."

Jin Hao nodded slightly, "Wen Qi, you are right."

He probably just said it casually, and didn't really intend to do it.

Although there are many masters in the Great Song Army now, they are still baby lumps.Everyone would be heartbroken if they suffered a major loss because of the assassination.

He Fangsong glanced at Wen Qi, saw the gleam in his eyes, and said with a smile: "It seems that Wen Qi has a good plan in your mind?"

When he said this, all the generals in the tent looked at Wen Qi.

In their army to attack Suqian, although Wen Qi was the youngest of the three presidents, he was the chief general appointed by Su Quandang.

Jin Hao and He Fangsong were not dissatisfied with this either.

Wen Qi is young and true, but his combat experience may not be inferior to the two of them.After all, when he was still very young, he had already followed Wen Tianxiang to the north and south.

Furthermore, Wen Qi was also carefully taught by Wen Tianxiang and Zhao Dongting.In terms of military strategy, he is really stronger than Jin Hao and He Fangsong.

All three are the presidents of the Jiankang Military Region, and they all know the basics.

Therefore, since leading the army to Suqian, Jin Hao and He Fangsong have mainly focused on Wen Qi.Even they are like this, not to mention the deputy commander of the army, Du Yuhou and so on.

Wen Qi succeeded in taking over the Tiangang Army in a short period of time, and made the soldiers of the Tiangang Army, who were originally extremely high-spirited, completely convinced him.

Nowadays, who in the Jiankang Army mentions Wen Tianxiang and Wen Qi father and son, must not give a thumbs up, and say that a tiger father has no dogs and sons?
Wen Qi glanced at the crowd, clasped the table lightly with his fingers, and said with a smile: "I can't hide it from General He, I do have some thoughts in my heart."

He looked at the night outside the tent, and said: "I don't know if you have thought about it. At this time, our military tents are full of bonfires. If we secretly extinguish some bonfires near the dawn and light up the hot air balloons, the people at the top of the city will be destroyed." Will Yuan Jun notice it?"

All the generals in the tent were startled when they heard the words, and then there was a flash of light in their eyes.

He Fangsong clapped his hands and said, "Good strategy!"

He stood up abruptly, "The Yuan army only thought that we were besieging and not attacking, and their defenses were already lax. If we light up all the hot air balloons before dawn, we can completely lift off at dawn and go straight to the sky above Suqian City." And go. At that time, supplemented by bombardment with grenades, the Yuan army at the head of the city will be caught off guard. If our army rushes in, it will be easy to destroy the Yuan army in the city!"

Up to now, hot air balloons have been difficult to make achievements because the preparation time is too long and the target is too big.

However, Wen Qi's method can completely make the hot air balloons of the imperial army of the Song Dynasty ready without the army of the Yuan Dynasty noticing.

It is only two miles from the army tents to Suqian City. With the speed of the hot air balloon, after the Yuan army is aware of it, it is difficult to be fully prepared in a short time even if there are soaring cannons.

Moreover, the Imperial Guards of the Song Dynasty can also use grenade launchers to contain them on the ground.

Wen Qi's proposal was quickly approved by the chief general in the account.

A group of high-ranking generals began to discuss in Wenqi's military tent.

It wasn't until two quarters of an hour later that He Fangsong and Jin Hao left with the priests.

On this night, more than a hundred grenadier soldiers in the Tiangang, Tianying, and Tianfu armies quietly approached Suqian City with grenadiers on their shoulders.

Finally, stop at a distance of several hundred meters from Suqian City.

The night passed quietly.

On the top of the city, torches stretched out.

Even though Arahan and Simuqi withdrew many soldiers, the defense of Suqian city was still quite tight.

A mere Suqian county has gathered more than [-] troops, no matter how weak it is, it will not be so weak.

The Yuan army on the top of the city didn't notice that at a certain time, the bonfires in the military camps of Tiangang, Tianying, and Tianfu were all extinguished.Then there was another fire.

In fact, there are some differences between the two fires.

A hot air balloon has a bigger fire.

But at the top of the city two miles away, it is obviously not very clear.

Gradually it was approaching dawn.

At the edge of the sky, the whiteness of the fish belly instantly tore apart the deep night.

The sky began to become a little hazy, with a little light.

And at this time, two hundred hot air balloons each took off in the military camps of Tianying, Tianfu, and Tiangang Army.

Of course, this still attracted the attention of the Chengtou Yuan army.

In an instant, the city was in a panic.

The noise of shouts and horns broke the quiet dawn.

"Sky Cannon!"

"quick!"

"Set up the sky cannon!"

"The hot air balloon is ready to meet the enemy!"

On the top of the city, General Yuan shouted hurriedly.

And at this time, the grenadiers who had been hiding outside Suqian City at night also showed their whereabouts.
