The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 357
Before the sun had fully set, the soldiers of the Song Army hurriedly dug up a stove by the river and set up an iron pot.

In this era of marching and fighting, most people eat two meals, morning and night. When they are hungry, they can only eat dry food, that is, dry barley, millet, etc., with water.The two meals that are officially set up to make rice are the main meals. Although the food has not improved much, it is still slightly better than dry food.

Zhao Dongting paid great attention to the food in the army, but at this time, he was helpless.

There are no green vegetables in the army, let alone meat.

Under the flames of war, the territory of Guangxi has been devastated.And it is extremely difficult for Leizhou to be able to supply military rations, so where can they get green vegetables?
It can be said that there is no food shortage in the Song army, which is very good.

The soldiers did not seem to complain. When cooking, some surrounded the iron pot, and some went to the river to fetch water. They were very active.

These days, it would be nice to have a stutter.

Zhao Dongting got off the dragon chariot and sighed slightly when he saw the Huotou army in the army distributing food.

It is not easy to be an emperor, and it is even more difficult to be an emperor who wants to found and restore the country.It is actually more difficult to let the soldiers eat delicious meals than to win the battle.

Not to mention a short period of time, even ten or eight years later, the Song army may not be able to carry meat and green vegetables.This is the limitation of national strength.

These days Zhao Dongting ate and lived with the soldiers, and they also ate dry food, knowing how unpalatable this stuff is.

But the fragrance is still very fragrant.

Not long after, the strong smell of fennel wafted from the yellow grassland.This can more or less arouse people's appetite.

The imperial guards brought dry food to Zhao Dongting and others, and even Turandot, who used to pay no attention to delicacies from mountains and seas, ate them slowly.

Only when you are hungry do you know the value of food.

Zhao Dongting was undoubtedly very satisfied with Turandot's performance, and said, "The kid should eat more to grow up."

This made Turandot secretly roll his eyes.How much nutrition can there be in this dry food?

But at this moment, from the shadowy side of the mountains beside the river, more than ten thousand cavalry suddenly rushed towards the place where the Song army camped.

Thousands of horses galloped out from the shadowy side of the mountains with great momentum.The word "Li" is embroidered on the military flag.

"There are enemy troops! There are enemy troops!"

The cavalry on guard immediately shouted in surprise.

Then, a loud horn sounded.

It was undoubtedly extremely unexpected that the Dali army rushed out from the shadowy side of the mountains at this time.

This is the ability of the genius Qin Han.

If it is an ordinary general, he will definitely not let go of a place like the canyon that is easy to ambush.But he led the army to ambush in the shadow of the mountains.

This can not only avoid Song Jun's investigation, but also, this time is actually the time when Song Jun's spirit is the most relaxed.

Who would have thought that the Dali Army would have a favorable location?

War is inherently tricky.

Zhao Dongting couldn't help being stunned, holding the bowl, and looked in the direction of the Dali cavalry from afar.

A smile spread across Turandot's face.

She hated Zhao Dongting so much, she would rather fall into the hands of the Dali army than continue to be imprisoned by Zhao Dongting.

Besides, even Zhao Dongting is not clear now.Will the Dali Army be independent, or will it choose to continue to attach to the Yuan Dynasty?

Turandot never even thought that the Dali Army would become independent.

Dali Province is just a subject within their territory of the Yuan Dynasty. She thought that if she was rescued by the Dali Army, she would be free.

So, after chuckling, she hastily got into the dragon carriage.

She didn't want to be beheaded by soldiers outside in a daze.

"Meet the enemy!"

Zhao Dongting slammed down the bowl and chopsticks and shouted loudly.Then he ran into the dragon chariot and took out his Zhanlu sword.

The Dali army was unexpected in this battle. They were unprepared, and it was very likely to be a bitter battle.If Monto can't count on it, the outcome of this battle may be unpredictable.

There are many Song soldiers heading towards the Dali cavalry, and more of them are in a panic.

In this case, the number advantage is not reflected at all.Moreover, those soldiers of the Yuan army had no weapons in their hands, and I am afraid that they had no idea of ​​​​fighting against the Dali army at all.

Even, it was only a slight panic, and some people took advantage of the chaos to leave the army and ran away.

The soldiers of the Song Dynasty undoubtedly did not care about these soldiers at this time.

In just a few minutes, nearly a thousand Song Army cavalry confronted the Dali cavalry.

Yue Peng rode his horse in front and charged into the cavalry formation of the Dali Army.The silver spear danced like a dragon, stabbing several Dali cavalrymen to the ground in an instant.

He shouted loudly, "Kill! Kill!"

The momentum alone already made many Dali soldiers terrified when he approached.

It is obviously impossible to block so many Dali cavalry with only a thousand people.What he wanted was to stop these Dali cavalry for the time being, so as to buy time for the army behind to prepare.

Wen Tianxiang, Xiao Yulin, and Miao Youli shouted at the soldiers on the spot and organized defense.

The Song soldiers threw their bowls and chopsticks to the ground one after another and lined up.

Zhao Dongting looked at Mengto, and softly said to Hong Wutian: "Senior, keep an eye on Mengto. If there is any abnormality in him, kill him immediately."

What he was most worried about was not the Dali army, but that Monto would lead the soldiers to mutiny.

Although there are not many real Song soldiers under his command, relying on powerful firearms, fighting with the Dali army is at least an unpredictable outcome.

Hong Wutian nodded slightly.

At this time, many Dali cavalry had passed Yue Peng's nearly thousand cavalry, and charged towards the army behind.

If you want to defeat your soldiers, first disrupt your formation.

Obviously, not all the cavalry of the Dali Army will deal with Yue Peng.After the army passed by, there were only about [-] Dali troops left beside Yue Peng's nearly [-] people.

Beside the mountains, there are already more figures of the Dali Army.There are cavalry and infantry, and they come like a tide.

Su Quandang's Tiangang Army and Zhang Hongwei's Tianji Army are elite soldiers, the fastest in formation.

Within minutes, thousands of Dali cavalry rushed forward.Each of them led their soldiers to meet them, but the team was inevitably a little scattered.

Mixed cavalry and infantry.

The commander in front of the Dali Army chuckled, with disdain in his eyes.

He didn't think these scattered Song army could resist the cavalry under his command.

Look at their army formation, so scattered, how can they withstand the impact of cavalry?

But then, the gun went off.

The commander was dumbfounded.

Just the moment the gun rang, several knights beside him fell off their horses and turned into gourds.

In addition, the war horse was shot and fell to its front hooves, which had a great impact.

When the horse in front falls down, it will often implicate the charging horse behind.

At this time, his cavalry was still hundreds of meters away from the formation of Su Quandang and Zhang Hongwei.

The combined number of soldiers from the two armies is 6000, and the Shenlong Gunners account for the vast majority.This made the commander-in-chief of the Dali Army somewhat doubt whether the charge power of his own cavalry could still be brought into play.If the cavalry has no charge, it has no advantage over infantry.

The coach and Mr. Qin didn't tell him this!

Although he had also heard that there were powerful firearms in the Song army, he never thought that they would be so powerful and there were so many of them.

Seeing the sound of gunshots in the Song army, and the surrounding knights constantly falling off their horses, he could only shout: "Rush! Rush!"

What can he do now that there is no arrow to turn back?
Moreover, at this moment, in the distance, there was already the sound of drums.

This must be the coach ordering him to continue charging.

If he goes back, he will disobey the military order.

At a distance of several hundred meters, the cavalry passed by in an instant under the charge.

Thousands of horses crashed into the formation of Su Quandang and Zhang Hongwei, and the soldiers in front were routed in the blink of an eye.Let the army formation become more chaotic.

However, the Shenlong guns of the Song army also caused a lot of damage to the Dali cavalry.

Su Quan slapped his horse and was about to meet the commander of the Dali Army.Not far away, there is already a cold arrow piercing through the air.

Archer Zhang Hongwei.

His arrows can be said to have been fired without fail, and the accuracy of the head is even better than that of the Shenlong Gun.

Fortunately, the commander-in-chief of the Dali Army was not mediocre, so he immediately swung his knife and chopped off the cold arrow.

But what he didn't expect was that following the arrow feather of this cold arrow, there was another arrow behind it.

The two arrows are almost connected in a straight line, which is the famous arrow in archery.

He exhausted his saber style, his eyes widened suddenly, and he had no energy left to block the arrow that followed.You can only try to change the trajectory of the big knife slightly.

The blade cuts lightly across the arrow body.

This slightly changed the trajectory of the arrow breaking through the air, but it failed to block the arrow.

"Well!"

The arrow penetrated directly from the left side of his chest, leaving only half of the arrow shaft, which made him grunt in pain.

At this moment, fear could not help but float into the heart of the Dali general.

There was such a master of archery in the Song army.

Regardless of the pain, he hastily reined in his horse, not daring to move forward.The cavalry who rushed to his front were knocked off their horses one after another by Shenlong guns.

The scene was chaotic, and the losses on both sides increased sharply at an extremely fast speed.
