The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 309 Attacking Qilin Island
Le Chan looked at Princess Pearl who was about to cry, and couldn't bear it, so she quietly tugged on Zhao Dongting's sleeve.

She shouldn't be such a soft-hearted person, but because there is a girl called Le Wu at home.Therefore, she always cares more about these little girls.

Zhao Dongting just patted the back of Le Chan's hand lightly, and then said to Princess Mingzhu: "I have sent a letter to Wuzhou to let Boyan and Ye Su'er's army release the blockade and make way for my army. Otherwise, I will Just take your life. Tell me, how would they choose?"

Princess Mingzhu's eyes showed a slight worry, and she was no longer as sure as before.

The whole night passed, and no one came to rescue her, which made her feel that she might not be as important as she thought.

In the eyes of the emperor's grandfather and the generals of the empire, is she really important in military matters?

Zhao Dongting said again: "Whenever my army gathers, I will feed you. I hope you can survive!"

After finishing speaking, he took Le Chan's hand and walked out.

The door of the main hall was slowly closed again.

Only this time, Princess Mingzhu didn't yell anymore, her expression was obviously a little gloomy.

Le Chan followed Zhao Dongting outside, and just after walking not far, she asked, "Your Majesty, are you really going to kill her?"

Seeing her unbearable look, Zhao Dongting smiled lightly and said, "No, I just frightened her. How can I be such a cold-blooded person?"

Although Princess Mingzhu is unruly and willful, she is not a villain after all.Of course Zhao Dongting would not kill her if he had to.

He still sticks to his bottom line in his heart.

Le Chan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.She was really worried that the emperor would become that kind of cold-blooded person.

Time to noon.

Zhao Dongting took Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Jue, Le Chan, Le Wuxian and others to hold a banquet in the main hall of the government office to reward the generals in the army.

Princess Mingzhu was still tied to the big pillar, and she was already so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back.

Zhao Dongting deliberately chose the main hall to hold a banquet, no doubt also with the intention of tricking her.What Mingzhu did before made Zhao Dongting quite resentful.

Although the food and wine at the banquet were not delicacies from mountains and seas, they were quite delicate and full of color and fragrance.

Princess Mingzhu swallowed her saliva continuously, her expression was sluggish, but her eyes were burning with flames, she just wished she could tear some pieces of Zhao Dongting's flesh off.

She really never thought that the little emperor of the Song Dynasty would be so helpless.

Seeing him deliberately smacking his mouth while eating, regardless of his image, he was clearly trying to annoy her on purpose.

Thinking that she used to eat delicacies from mountains and seas and felt that there was no taste, but now, when she smells this ordinary food, it seems to be so fragrant.

While the banquet was in progress, a soldier outside the hall suddenly came to report, "Report, the Yuan army has left the camp to go to Qilin Island."

Qilin Island is the isolated island where the prisoners of the Yuan army were held.Because there is a mountain on the island that looks like a lying unicorn, hence the name.

The originally lively atmosphere in the hall suddenly became quiet because of this soldier's report.

Zhao Dongting asked, "How many troops are there in the Yuan army going out of the camp?"

Princess Mingzhu's eyes were full of disappointment and sadness.The Yuan army went out of the camp to Qilin Island, but they didn't come to rescue her.

The soldiers replied: "About ten thousand people, the army is carrying bamboo rafts, it should be to rescue the captives on Qilin Island."

Zhao Dongting gently put down the bowls and chopsticks, and looked down at Qin Han, "Mr. Qin, what do you think our army should do?"

He originally planned to ignore Qilin Island, but now the Yuan army only takes Qilin Island and does not attack Xiujiang Town.But he has the strength to send out.

Qin Han lowered his brows, "The Yuan army's attack on the island was just an act of besieging Wei and saving Zhao. Their real goal should be this Xiujiang town."

Zhao Dongting chuckled, "Then what do you mean, you don't care about this Yuan army?"

"Do not."

Qin Han shook his head, "Your Majesty can send two hundred flying dragon soldiers to bombard the Yuan army with grenades while they are crossing the river on bamboo rafts. The Yuan army will surely suffer heavy casualties."

Zhao Dongting said: "Then what if the Yuan army intends to lure our army out of the city?"

Qin Han said: "Two hundred flying dragon soldiers ride fast horses and advance and retreat quickly. They will not be surrounded by the Yuan army."

All the generals in the hall couldn't help but nodded slightly when they heard the words.

The incident happened in a hurry, Qin Han's brains can turn so fast, it is indeed not comparable to them.

Zhao Da stood up and said in a thunderous voice, "Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead two hundred flying dragon soldiers to resist the Yuan army."

Zhao Dongting smiled and waved his hands, "Eat first, eat first. It's not too late for you to go when the Yuan army is approaching the river."

When he said this, his eyes looked at Princess Pearl with a half-smile.

At this time, Princess Pearl seemed to have a dull expression.

Zhao Dongting's "torture" on her, as well as Zhao Dongting's confident appearance at this time, made her feel that it was impossible for her to be rescued.

The Great Song Emperor is too cunning.

She was worried about the nearly ten thousand yuan soldiers.

At the same time, worry more about yourself.

When the banquet was over, Zhao Da led two hundred flying dragon soldiers to Qilin Island.

When they arrived, more than [-] soldiers of the Yuan army had already spread out their positions in the Xiujiang battle, countless bamboo rafts were thrown into the water, and some Yuan troops were rowing towards Qilin Island.

On Qilin Island, there are only two thousand Song soldiers guarding the thousands of Yuan soldiers' captives.

They were on the island, watching the Yuan army aggressively attacking the island, obviously flustered.

Zhao Dagang laughed when he arrived at the riverside, "Brothers, set up all the grenade bombs for me. Let them taste the taste of bombardment."

The flying dragon soldiers were all excited, they dismounted quickly, opened the wooden box, and took out the grenadier.

The Yuan army crossed the river on a bamboo raft, is it not a living target in the river?

Could it be that Yuan generals are fools?
Just as they were setting up the grenades, there was also the sound of horns on the other side of the river.Then about 2000 yuan troops galloped towards the river.

The horse's hooves stepped on the wooden bridge, making the wooden bridge thump.

Zhao Da just watched and didn't speak.

When the front part of the Yuan army's iron cavalry rushed through the middle of the wooden bridge, he shouted: "Fire the cannon and smash the wooden bridge!"

Although he closely led two hundred flying dragon soldiers, across the river, he really didn't pay attention to the more than ten thousand yuan army.

With the collapse of the wooden bridge, what else can they use against themselves?

Crossbow?

They were still far away from the river bank at this time, just outside the range of the Yuan army's bow and crossbow.

After Zhao Da followed Zhao Dongting, he often marched and fought, and now he is no longer that country boy who doesn't know any military art.

The cannons boomed.

Dozens of shells fell simultaneously around the wooden bridge.

The water spray exploded on the surface of the river, and the surface of the river was full of turbulent waves.

A cannonball landed on the wooden bridge accurately, causing the wooden bridge to collapse immediately.Some Yuan soldiers fell into the water with their men and horses.

The Yuan army behind was blocked and became chaotic in a short period of time.

Some people panic.

Zhao Da laughed again. Seeing the collapse of the wooden bridge, he looked at the bamboo rafts on the river and shouted, "Boom those bamboo rafts."

Amidst the continuous sound of cannons, many yuan army bamboo rafts on the river were quickly blown up by shells.Countless soldiers fell into the water and were drowned by the waves.

On the other side of the river, the chief general of the Yuan army had an extremely ugly expression on his face.

Monto ordered him to attack the island, and he really meant to attract the Song army out of the city.But he didn't expect that Song Jun would come out with so few people.

And it's fine if there are few people, but they all carry grenadiers. How can we fight this battle?
He led his soldiers to stand on the bank of the river, watching Zhao Dana's mere 200 people across the river, but they were beyond his reach.

The iron cavalry of the Yuan army on the wooden bridge managed to stabilize their position, but they had no choice but to retreat.

A partial general asked the general, "General, shall we withdraw our troops?"

The general turned his head, looked in the direction of the Yuan army's camp, and said in a deep voice: "Order two thousand soldiers to rush to the remaining wooden bridges and kill the Song army on the other side of the river."

Pianjiang was slightly taken aback, but he could only nod.

He didn't think they could cross the river.The two hundred Song soldiers all carried grenades, so the wooden bridge couldn't be blown up?

But he didn't know that Monto's order to the general was, "Regardless of the cost, delay until the army sieges the city."

At this time, ten miles outside Xiujiang Town, tens of thousands of troops marched towards Xiujiang Town.

Monto himself galloped in front of the army, and beside him were several military commanders.

Someone had a complicated look on his face. After several hesitations, he couldn't help asking Monto, "General, do we really want the soldiers to die in vain?"

Everyone knew in their hearts that with their strength, it would be impossible to break through Xiujiang Town.

Monto's face was gloomy, and he said, "Princess Mingzhu is in captivity, if we don't move, what will the emperor think?"

Now he just wants to put aside the responsibility for Mingzhu's capture and show Kublai Khan a show. For this reason, he has even gone mad.

One will be a million bones.

In his heart, no matter how many soldiers there are, it is not as important as his life.
