The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 48

Various soldiers in the front row were holding shields, carrying ladders, and pushing siege vehicles, crossing and rushing towards the palace.

Although the morale of the officers and men of Dinghai, Guarding the State Army, and Destroying the Enemy Army was low, they were still attacking the palace anyway, rushing forward with all their might.

But Wu Wenli, the deputy commander of the guarding army, yelled a few times, but he didn't see how many soldiers in the army charged forward.

He was originally an aide of Lord Ge Li, and he was regarded as a diehard loyalist. The former commander of the capital was killed by a landmine, so he was ordered in a crisis.After finally urging the sergeants to come here, I wanted to perform well and strive for the first place, but now I am dumbfounded to see the soldiers like this.

Then he gritted his teeth, ordered the flag bearer to wave the flag, raised his sword and shouted: "All officers and men, follow me to the palace and capture Emperor Song. Those who kill thousands of enemies will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and those who kill the enemy's generals will be rewarded with ten taels of gold. Capture Song alive." The emperor, confer an official title!"

This time he can be regarded as spending a lot of money, this kind of reward was not promised by Mr. Ge Li, he may have to pay for it himself.

After shouting, Wu Wenli swung his whip and rode his horse, ready to rush to the palace first.He thought that if there was a huge reward, the soldiers would definitely be active.

But not far away, he found that there were still not many people charging with him, and he couldn't hear the cry of the shocking power.

Most of the soldiers of the supporting army hesitated to move forward.

The fuck!

Wu Wenli was furious, turned around and cursed: "You bastards, why don't you charge? Didn't you hear the general's order?"

"Whoosh!"

At this time, Congjun suddenly shot a cold arrow, aiming at Wu Wenli's throat.

Wu Wenli was caught off guard, and was directly pierced by the cold arrow. His face froze instantly, blood gushed out of his mouth, and he fell off the horse.

A one-eyed soldier with a blindfold on his left eye raised his longbow high and shouted: "Ge Li Jun betrayed his country for glory, Wu Wenli is greedy and violent, are you really going to attack our Great Song Emperor for them?"

After that, he dropped the long bow in his hand heavily to the ground.

Originally, these soldiers who were unwilling to charge in the guarding army were all patriotic. Now seeing Wu Wenli being shot dead by a cold arrow, and someone shouting loudly that he has already taken the lead, courage surged up in his heart, no matter what With the sound of the bullshit horn, a group of people threw their weapons to the ground one after another.

Afterwards, the soldiers guarding the general's flag also chopped down the flag to the ground.

Over the past few years, Wu Wenli has been doing exploitative things in the army and withholding military pay, which has long made people complain.

Seeing the mutiny behind, the soldiers of the guarding army who charged forward shrank their heads and ran back quickly.

Although some generals were loyal to Lord Geli, they did not dare to order the soldiers by force when they saw the general trend, for fear that they would end up like Wu Wenli.

Therefore, before the city was broken, the guarding army had already surrendered.

When Zhang Shijie and the others saw this scene at the top of the city, they were naturally overjoyed.

The state guards attacking the city beside the guarding army were all affected, and those generals who were close to Lord Geli finally stabilized their soldiers.

But the combat effectiveness that such an army can display is naturally conceivable.

After rushing for less than [-] steps, the flag was waved on the wall of the palace.

Immediately there was a rumbling sound.

"put!"

"put!"

The throwing poles of nearly a hundred catapults lined up along the city wall were all raised high, and stones the size of a horse's head roared towards the offensive array of the guarding army, Dinghai army, and breaking the enemy army.

Some soldiers carrying shields in the front row were knocked to the ground with their shields, and some soldiers pushing siege vehicles were smashed to the ground.

However, there are still too few catapults, and their lethality is not enough. Compared with the tens of thousands of troops, their effect can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.

Under the command of the military flag, the three armies of Huzhou, Dinghai, and Breaking the Enemy still charged forward.

But just after rushing for less than a hundred steps, the ground in front of him exploded, and gravel flew.Those shield soldiers who rushed to the front were blown up in all directions in an instant, with stumps all over the ground.In front of the entire palace wall, it seemed to be condemned by the gods, and there were rumbles, shaking the sky and the earth.

Zhao Dongting had already had people plant a lot of thunderstorms here as the last defense of the palace.

At the beginning, the Yuan army was destroyed without attacking the palace, but now Ge Lijun's army has enjoyed the feast of landmines.

On the city wall, Wanyanzhang stared at this scene, feeling horrified.He seemed to suddenly understand how the Hulukou army was wiped out.

Seeing that the Leizhou army was blown to pieces in pieces, he only thought that the trap of the Song army was simply invincible.

Outside the city wall to the south, nearly a hundred shield soldiers in the front row of the Protectorate Army were killed in the blink of an eye. The bloody scene made people feel frightened.They were already affected by the morale of the guards, and now seeing the danger ahead, those shield soldiers were reluctant to charge forward.He also looked at the guarding army who was watching the show nearby, and he was even more unwilling to work for Ge Lijun from the bottom of his heart.

The Sixth Army of Leizhou, in the past, only the Flying Army, the Mighty Army, the Dinghai Army, and the Breaking the Enemy Army were the direct descendants of Lord Geli. Also low.They are usually responsible for defending the city, patrolling, disaster relief, etc., and they don't have much loyalty to Lord Ge Li at all.

At the moment, the shield soldiers and siege infantry in the front row of the escorting army all stood firm.

The soldiers in the back row rushed up, but were blocked, and the scene was an instant mess.

The commander-in-chief of the army was riding a war horse but couldn't even move his hooves. He kept yelling and cursing, but no one paid any attention.

The army actually retreated slowly.

Even Song Jun on the city wall was dumbfounded, thinking in his heart, this hasn't given you a taste of power, why did you mutiny and retreat?
But they were naturally happy, raised their weapons and shouted loudly.

Their morale was like a rainbow, which made the guards even more afraid.The retreat was faster, and the generals couldn't stop screaming.

Seeing this scene by the cliff, Zhao Dongting knew a little bit, called Yang Yidong to his side, and whispered something to him.Yang Yidong ran towards the palace wall with a happy face.

Concubine Yang Shu looked at it strangely and asked, "Yes, what did you ask General Yang to do?"

Zhao Dongting thought Concubine Yang Shu was just afraid of tiring Yang Yidong, so he couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "The queen mother will naturally know later."

In front of all the ministers, he is usually called Concubine Yang Shu.

Concubine Yang Shu was even more curious when she saw him cheating, and looked towards the city wall of the palace.Here on the edge of the cliff, the field of vision is wide, and you can almost have a panoramic view of the entire battlefield.

East wall.

The loyalty of Dinghai and the enemy army is still relatively high. Although many people were killed by landmines, they still rushed to the palace shouting and killing.

I saw that landmines were constantly being triggered by them, and there were bursts of rumbling and dust, killing countless soldiers and even generals.

"Let the crossbow arrows!"

But tens of meters away from the city wall, there was another loud shout from above the city wall.The messengers of the Song Army waved their hands repeatedly, changing the semaphore.

Countless crossbow arrows exploded from the crossbow foundations of the city wall, and shot directly into the formation of the two armies with the sound of piercing through the air.

The crossbows of the Song Dynasty were already extremely powerful, and some shield soldiers were pierced through even the shield belt, screaming again and again.

Dozens of steps forward, another arrow rained down on the city wall of the palace.

For a while, even the Ding Haijun and the Po Enemy Army wanted to break through the city to capture Zhao Dongting alive, but they were also a little stunned.

There were thunders in the ground, and there were catapults, crossbows, and archers on the city walls. Such dense rain poured down, causing countless deaths and injuries to them.

The siege battle used to be extremely manpower-intensive. If the five armies attacked together, they might be able to break through the palace, but now the Leizhou army only had their two armies attacking, so they were naturally powerless.There are less than 2 people in the area, and even the generals of the two armies do not see much hope if they want to break through the defensive palaces.

They hastily asked the scouts to report the news to Ge Lijun and asked him to send troops to help.

Then, the commanders of both armies actually ordered to retreat, and assembled at a place 500 meters away from the palace.

In the first wave of charge, the Song army did not lose a single person, and the Leizhou army did not even touch the city wall, losing thousands of troops in vain.

Even Wan Yanzhang couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

This should be the real army of the Song Dynasty. How could I be so unlucky to meet the extremely powerful Song army like the little emperor?

He really couldn't figure it out, they were all Song Jun, how could there be such a big difference.If they had encountered a Song army like the Leizhou army on the day they attacked the island, they would have won a complete victory.

At this time, the imperial guards on the south wall suddenly shouted in unison, "You are all soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty! The emperor has orders! Surrender without killing!"

"Surrender without killing!"

"Surrender without killing!"

The shout gradually broke through the sky, infecting all the guards on the north wall.

Su Liuyi's eyes were moist, and he shouted at the top of his voice, "Surrender without killing!"

Su Quandang was slightly stunned by the side, then raised the spear in his hand, and shouted: "Soldiers, follow me!"

"Surrender without killing!"

"Surrender without killing!"

For a moment, such shouts resounded throughout the entire palace.

The Leizhou army was even more motivated, and almost mutinied again.

This is naturally Zhao Dongting's instruction.Le Chan, Concubine Yang Shu, and all the ministers looked at Zhao Dongting with admiration.
