The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 242 The Battle of Wutong Ridge ([-])
Probably no one would have imagined that the Song army would be the one who took the initiative to attack in the end when the Yuan army was overwhelmed.

After Su Quandang was fully dressed, he rushed to the main hall of Cenxi Mansion Yamen. Liu Zaiyuan, the deputy commander of the Tiangang army, Miao Cheng, the marquis of Duyu, and the chief and deputy generals of the Tiangang Army also rushed to the main hall.Zhao Da, who came to Cenxi to help with two hundred flying dragon soldiers, was also on the list.

Liu Zaiyuan and Miao Cheng were originally the commanders-in-chief of the Xiang Army, about 40 years old.In the current Tiangang Army, he has a lot of prestige.

"Commander."

After all the generals came to the main hall, they bowed their hands to Su Quandang and sat down behind the desk.

Liu Zaiyuan cupped his hands and asked, "I don't know if the commander announced late at night, what orders do I have when I come here?"

The generals are also human beings, and at this time they had already fallen asleep.

Su Quandang glanced at the faces of the generals, and cupped his hands towards the south, "The emperor has ordered me to go out of the city and annihilate Kong Yuan."

"Go out of the city and destroy Kong Yuan?"

All the generals were surprised, and immediately you looked at me and I looked at you, and they all became a little puzzled.

Some of them used to be commanders of the Xiang army, some were leaders of the rebel army, and some were bandit leaders.

Liu Zaiyuan asked in confusion: "Commander, our army is no more than [-] people. If we go out of the city to attack Kong Yuan, can we win?"

It's no wonder he has no confidence.

These people used to be only stragglers, and when fighting the Yuan army, they rarely took advantage of it.

There is still a gap between the army organized by the people and the regular army.

Although they are all now armed, there are as many as [-] Shenlong Guns and [-] Thunderbolt Cannons in the army, but this still cannot offset their fear of the Yuan Army in their hearts.This is as if the Yuan army had strong self-confidence when facing the Song army. They have formed a habit, and it is difficult to change it in a short time.

Originally, after successive victories, the bodyguards and imperial guards were no longer afraid of the Yuan army, but unfortunately, even the establishment system was lost.

Su Quandang said indifferently: "When the general and the emperor first came to Guangxi, there were only more than [-] troops, but they wiped out Ali Haiya's army of more than [-] yuan."

The generals were slightly shocked.

Of course they all knew about it.

The news of Song's great victory in Guangxi has already spread all over the world. If it weren't for this, they might not have traveled all the way to Guangxi.

Liu Zaiyuan was silent for a while, cupped his hands and said, "I would like to obey the command of the commander."

The generals followed suit.

Although they were still apprehensive towards the Yuan army, what Su Quandang said just now really boosted their confidence a lot.

At the beginning, the emperor only led more than 3 soldiers, and the more than 2 Xingguo army ordered by He Wenjun defeated Ali Haiya, the ever-victorious general of the Yuan Dynasty. Not impossible?
They are not the original mob now, but the real Imperial Guards of the Great Song Dynasty!
The generals finally adjusted their identities slightly.

Seeing this, Su Quandang nodded, and walked to the sand table placed in the center of the main hall, "Everyone, please come and have a look."

All the generals quickly gathered around the sand table.

There are guards holding lamps by the side.

Under the light, the soil around Cenxi County is fully presented on the sand table.

More than [-] miles east of Cenxi County, there is a low hill among several continuous peaks, with five small black flags tied on it, which is where Kong Yuan's garrison is located.

From Cenxi to the low hill, there are two roads to go.One of them is an official road, and the other is a trail along the mountains.

Su Quan pointed at the low hill with a wave of his hand, and said, "According to the information obtained by the scouts, Kong Yuan's 2-yuan army is stationed in the shape of a plum blossom in Wutong Ridge. The central army and the four armies in the southeast, northwest, and north all have about [-] soldiers. They are firmly occupying Wutong Ridge. They occupy a geographical advantage and are condescending. With the strength of our army, it may be difficult to force an attack. How do you generals think that this battle can be won?"

Liu Zaiyuan and the others were all in deep thought.

Then, Miao Cheng said: "It's better to win by points than to attack by dividing. Our army concentrates our forces and forms a sharp knife formation to penetrate their middle army and take Kong Yuan's life?"

"Is it in time?"

But Liu Zaiyuan said: "If our army's offensive is blocked, we can't penetrate their army like a bamboo shooter, I'm afraid that we will be surrounded and wiped out by them."

Miao Chengdao: "The Shenlong gun sent by the emperor to the army is so powerful, it should be able to defeat the Yuan army, right?"

It's just that even he himself didn't have much confidence when he said this.

Shenlong Gun is strong, but not invincible.The Yuan army is condescending, and the power of arrows should not be underestimated.

At this time, Zhao Da suddenly said, "Why don't I lead the flying dragon soldiers to directly smash their tents to pieces."

He was carrying two hundred grenadiers, and he was very energetic at this time.

The generals just pretended not to hear what he said.

Two hundred flying dragon troops went to bombard the big tent of the Yuan army, even the generals who were originally bandit leaders present were not so arrogant!
Su Quandang's eyes were slightly bright.

He lowered his head to look at the terrain around Wutong Ridge carefully, and said: "The general has a solution, all generals obey orders!"

"exist!"

The generals hand over.

Su Quandang said: "There are hillsides on the east and south sides of Wutong Ridge, which are only a few hundred meters away from Wutong Ridge. General Zhao sent two flying dragon troops, 50 people each, to carry grenadiers to the hillside from the trail to occupy a high place. Stand by to bombard the Yuan army's east and south camps. The remaining [-] flying dragons will follow the main force and attack the Yuan army's west camp from the official road!"

Zhao grinned and opened his mouth wide, "Decree!"

Su Quandang glanced at the generals again, "General Pan, General Xu, General Li, and General He obey orders!"

"The end is here!"

"The four of you each lead one thousand elite soldiers and five hundred firecrackers. Generals Pan and General Xu go all the way to ambush at the foot of Xichu Mountain to the east of Wutong Ridge. When the Feilong army bombards the Yuan army's camp, and the Yuan army rushes out of the camp to the foot of the mountain to take the Feilong army, you must fight out of them and wipe out the Yuan army!"

"Order!"

"General Wang, General Guan, General Tong, and General Huo obey orders!"

"The end is here!"

"Each of you leads a thousand elite soldiers, and along with the commander and deputy commander Liu, go straight to the western camp of the Yuan army and the central army from the official road!"

"Order!"

Su Quandang finally looked at Miao Cheng, Marquis of Duyu, "Marquis of Duyu, you and the other two generals are defending the city."

Miao Cheng nodded, but he had no objection to defending the city, he just asked in confusion: "Commander, can you break through the Yuan army's western camp with four thousand soldiers? Besides, our army does not have troops to restrain the Yuan army's northern camp. At the beginning of the battle, the Yuan army has more than ten thousand soldiers in the west, north and the central army, if you charge down the mountain in a big way, wouldn't it be dangerous for you?"

The rest of the generals were also quite suspicious when they heard this.

Su Quandang's troops were divided into three groups. Although there were big weapons like grenades, none of the troops had the upper hand.

Both the east and south sides are fine, with five hundred gunfire soldiers, fifty grenade launchers, and two thousand fine soldiers, it is not impossible to defeat the 4000 yuan army in the camp.

However, the pressure of the [-] Song troops who took the Yuan army's West Camp directly from the official road in the west was much greater.

Even if all the remaining [-] firecrackers are sent out, it may not be able to stop the tens of thousands of Yuan troops!
You know, the west and north camps of the Yuan army are forming a corner.

Su Quandang suddenly chuckled, and said, "Don't forget Du Yuhou, our army still has [-] thunderbolt cannons!"

Miao Cheng was stunned.

He suddenly felt that, as if four thousand were against more than ten thousand, there was really hope of victory.

If one hundred grenade launchers and four hundred thunderbolt cannons were fired together, he couldn't even imagine the scene.

And Su Quandang said again: "Furthermore, if the cannon fires from the east first, can the soldiers in the northern camp of the Yuan army still sit still?"

The generals stopped talking, and there was hope in their eyes.

"All right."

Su Quandang clapped his hands heavily on the edge of the sand table, and said, "Generals, let's go down and make arrangements! Lead the army to assemble outside the city, and set off in two hours!"

All the generals took orders and left the government office.

Su Quandang looked at the sand table and muttered to himself again, "If Kong Yuan can be wiped out, the emperor won't blame me for not saving shells, right?"

After speaking, he himself laughed.

Isn't the artillery shells originally used to hit the enemy?When to fight or not to fight?
The barracks in Cenxi County quickly became lively. The soldiers heard the sound of drums in their deep sleep, and ran out of the tents one after another wearing armor and armor.

Soon, generals and soldiers gathered outside the city to stand by.

In less than two hours, there were already torches outside Cenxi County like sparks all over the sky, illuminating the outside of the city brightly.

Su Quan wandered outside the city without saying anything, but took Liu Zaiyuan and Zhao Da and led the soldiers under his command to set off first.

They have [-] gunfire soldiers, [-] fine soldiers, and [-] flying dragon soldiers.

The torches formed a long snake, and without any cover, they walked along the official road outside the city to Wutong Ridge with great momentum.

A Yuan army scout lurking outside Cenxi City saw this scene and hurried back to report at night.

Ten minutes later, another Song army came out from the city.

It's just that this Song army didn't light a torch, so it couldn't be seen at all in the dark night.

After they left the city, they marched along the trail in the dark towards Fenghou Mountain and Xichu Mountain. The speed was much faster than Su Quandang's army.
