The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1566
As the time gradually approached the middle of the night.

The situation in Jingzhao Mansion changed again.

Liu Zhuwen led Dali and the soldiers of the special regiments of the Forbidden Army in Central Shu gathered towards the main street in the south of the city under the leadership of their respective generals according to his command.

The so-called movement of the whole body by pulling one hair, because of the movement of the soldiers of the special regiment, the situation of the entire Jingzhao Mansion has naturally changed.

Seeing the retreat of the soldiers of the special regiment, those Yuan troops who had been fighting against the soldiers of the special regiment in various streets pressed forward unsurprisingly, and gradually approached the main street.

The soldiers of both sides were still exchanging fire while they were moving.

Not long after that, some troops from the Great Song Imperial Army also began to gather towards the main street, trying to clean up those tails for the soldiers of the special regiment.

As a result, the soldiers of both sides are gradually moving closer to the main street in the south of the city.

Artillery fire continued.

It is not known how many houses were destroyed by artillery fire.

Under such circumstances, even the soldiers of the special regiment could not easily go to the government office.

They acted as sharp knives on the main street, but slowly pushed towards the government office.The resistance of the Yuan army was very strong.

Half of Bing Wenxuan's soldiers gathered in this Jingzhao Mansion were the original defenders of Jingzhao Mansion, and they were the elite of the Yuan army.

Only the imperial army of Song Dynasty still had the upper hand, and the front of the Yuan army kept retreating to the rear.

And so it went all night.

It was almost dawn when Liu Zhuwen ordered the soldiers to suspend their attack and rest on the spot.

The Yuan army was also exhausted from building momentum, and the imperial army of the Song Dynasty took a temporary rest. They naturally wanted what they wanted, and they would not launch a counterattack.

There were scouts from all over the city running towards the government office and the temporary command post of the Great Song Imperial Army.

Liu Zhuwen was not surprised to learn that the soldiers had suffered heavy losses at the front, and they were not able to fight to the government in one go.

But Bing Wenxuan was furious when he learned that the army could not stop the imperial army of Song Dynasty, but he had no choice.All he can do now is to show off his tricks.

Because he had already pushed all the soldiers up at this time.

After this whole night of fighting, the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty also gained the upper hand in terms of numbers.

Nearly half of them suffered casualties, but the Yuan army only had about 2 people left.Of course, it doesn't mean that all the other soldiers died in battle.

Some were injured, others were scared and fled.It's just that there are only about 2 people who are still resisting the Song Dynasty's imperial army at the forefront.

There were also many wounded soldiers in the imperial army of the Song Dynasty, and about 5000 people were actually killed. At this time, the temporary medical center set up in the rear was already crowded with people and could not accommodate them.

Inside the temporary command post.

While the Huotou army in the army was distributing dry food to the soldiers, Pu Hongzhen, the capital of the Dali Military Region, hurried into the command post again.

He is not the most prestigious person in the Great Song Army, not even as famous as Zhu Haiwang, Zheng Yihang, etc., but he is indeed a veteran.

Even when the Song court was not forced to flee overseas, he was the commander of a certain army under Zhang Shijie's command.

Only because Zhao Dongting suppressed Wen Xingwu later, he, a commander who was born as a civil servant, could not become a general in charge of military command like the commander-in-chief or deputy commander-in-chief of a certain army.

Zhao Dongting first asked him to be the Marquis of the Zhenguo Military Region, which was still called the Zhennan Military Region at that time, and trained for several years.

Then, he was transferred back to the North Korea Central Military Aircraft Department and served as the Deputy Counselor of the Military Aircraft Department for several years.Later, he was transferred to the Dali Military Region as the Marquis of Yu.

After such training, today's Pu Hongzhen can become a general with both civil and military skills.

Although he may not be very good at tactical command, he has a lot of experience as the Marquis of Du Yu.They are masters in rectifying military discipline, instilling beliefs, and managing logistics.

Having just entered the command post, looking at Liu Zhuwen who was still looking down at the map, Pu Hong said: "Shuai Liu, we are running out of food."

Counting the time, it has been a few days since they set off from Languan.

Liu Zhuwen raised his head, "How long can we last?"

He hadn't slept all night, and his eyes were bloodshot at this time.

As a marshal, he doesn't need to go to the front line to fight in person, but the psychological pressure can be said to be the greatest among the soldiers of the army.

Pu Hongzhen replied: "It can last up to six days."

"Six days..."

Liu Zhuwen pondered slightly.

In this way, the food and grass in the army are indeed quite tight.After all, after he conquered Jingzhao Mansion, he also needed food and grass on the way back leading these soldiers.

Unless Diabolo has convinced Rong Leyong, they can get food and grass supplies in Lantian County.

But at this time, Liu Zhuwen didn't know what was going on in Lantian County.

Although we haven't received any news about the Yuan Army in Lantian County yet, it doesn't mean that Rong Leyong has been persuaded by Diabolo and is willing to surrender.

After pondering, Liu Zhuwen said: "Tell the frontline soldiers that the food and grass can only last for a maximum of two days! Let them take down the government office as soon as possible!"

After speaking, he himself walked out of the command post.

Pu Hongzhen was slightly taken aback, "Where are you going, Shuai Liu?"

Liu Zhuwen sighed softly: "I'll go to see the injured brothers first, and then go to the front to supervise the battle."

Pu Hongzhen couldn't help feeling a little worried, "Are you going to the front line in person?"

Liu Zhuwen looked back at the two true martial arts priests following behind him, and said, "There are two priests here, are you still worried that something will happen to me?"

After speaking, he got out of the command post.

Pu Hongzhen opened his mouth and couldn't say anything, so he could only walk out of the command post and arrange for the soldiers to go to the front to inform those soldiers.

He knew what Liu Zhuwen meant, and this was to prepare the frontline soldiers to burn their boats.

Liu Zhuwen took the two priests and some soldiers to the temporary medical center.

In order not to cause too much disturbance to the people in the city, this temporary medical center is actually nothing more than placing many straw mats or thatch on the street.

These straw mats and thatch were also bought by the logistics officers and soldiers from the people in the city.

On the entire street, countless wounded soldiers were either sitting or lying down, with no end in sight.Howls and cries of pain can be heard all over the place.

The strong smell of blood and Chinese herbal medicine filled the air.

Many military attendants with white armbands and their disciples were shuttling through the streets, all of them in a hurry.

There are too many wounded soldiers, perhaps thousands of them.And these are all basically incapable of fighting.

Those wounded soldiers who were not seriously injured were still at the forefront at this time.

Amidst the wailing everywhere, there were not a few people with broken arms and legs.

Rao Liu Zhuwen was used to battles, and when he saw this scene, his eyes showed extreme unbearable and regretful expressions.

Just standing here, he saw with his own eyes that when the doctor bandaged him, the bloody wounded soldiers died of such pain because the pain was too severe.

There are also wounded soldiers with broken legs who are feeding dry food to the immobile Paoze next to him.

His companion didn't even have the strength to chew anything.

The wounded soldier chewed the dry food himself, then spit it into his hand, and went to feed his companion.

But the companion's mouth only opened and closed a few times, and then there was no movement.

The wounded soldier burst into tears.

This scene was too tragic.

In fact, some people are so injured that there is no possibility of healing at all.

But out of humanity, the Great Song Army has never given up the habit of wounded soldiers.This is Zhao Dongting's death order.

Soldiers injured on the front line had to be carried to the rear for treatment as long as they were not discouraged.

It's a belief.

"marshal!"

"marshal!"

Liu Zhuwen walked slowly down the street.

People who recognized him called him one after another.

There were also wounded soldiers struggling up.

Shouting and shouting, some people were sobbing.

Liu Zhuwen's face was filled with remorse and guilt.He brought these soldiers to Jingzhao Mansion, but he didn't know how many people he could bring back.

Among these wounded soldiers, I'm afraid there are too many people who can no longer follow him back to the blue pass.

Liu Zhuwen didn't turn back until he reached the end of the street and there were no more wounded soldiers in front of him.

Then, go to the frontier.

During the short period of his inspection, he did not know how many wounded soldiers died.

There is a strong smell of gunpowder smoke at the frontier.

On the way Liu Zhuwen rushed to the front, many soldiers could also be seen carrying wounded soldiers back to the rear.

The ground is full of potholes and scorched black marks.

Looking around, there is a mess everywhere.

When Liu Zhuwen appeared at the front of the main street, the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Imperial Army hid behind the bunkers and ate dry food.These bunkers were arranged by the Yuan Army.

Just tens of meters ahead is the Yuan army's position.
