The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 50

The officers and soldiers of the guarding and guarding armies outside the city had already sat on the ground to rest, but at this moment they saw a cavalry leaving the city, they hurriedly stood up.

The infantry quickly picked up their weapons from the ground, the cavalry got on their horses, and the archers pulled their bows for half a month.

A group of generals looked solemn, ready to fight.

Although they are not even considered a regular army, they have been training for some years, not to mention their combat effectiveness, but their response is not slow.

After seeing that there were only hundreds of cavalry and no horses after that, their expressions gradually relaxed again.

In less than 2 minutes, the [-] cavalry troops reached a hundred meters in front of the two armies.

Yue Peng raised his silver spear, and all the cavalrymen Qi Qile reined in their horses, and their appearance was neat.

Zhao Dongting asked Le Chan to drive the horse to the front, and shouted loudly: "I am Zhao Shi, Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, where are the generals of the Guarding Army and the Protecting State Army?"

He learned the numbers of these troops from Lu Xiufu's mouth.

The soldiers in Leizhou were stunned when they heard that he was the emperor, but they had surrendered early on, so no one did anything.

Of course, there were very few bows that could reach [-] meters at that time.

More than a dozen generals from the two armies drove to the front of the battle one after another, looked at Zhao Dongting in surprise, did not speak, and did not pay homage.

Zhao Dongting shouted again: "Since you are outside the city, why don't you lead your army to attack the city?"

None of the generals who came out answered.Some of them are loyal and loyal, while others are soldiers who don't obey their orders and are forced to do so.

As low-level generals, they were still a little nervous when they saw Zhao Dongting in imperial robes.Although Zhao Dongting was only a child, his imperial robe represented absolute authority.

After a few seconds, someone in the army suddenly shouted: "We are soldiers of the Song Dynasty, how can we turn against the emperor?"

Among the archers of the guarding army, a soldier came out slowly. It was the one-eyed archer who shot Wu Wenli to death with a cold arrow.

The words he just yelled made many people tremble.

"it is good!"

Zhao Dongting yelled again, "It seems that even though our Great Song Dynasty is about to perish, there are still many loyal warriors!"

As he said that, his eyes swept across the front of the two armies, and his voice was raised a bit, "You guys, are the loyal warriors of my Song Dynasty?"

To say that this boosts morale and incites people's hearts, Zhao Dongting is really good at it.What did he rely on to open a media company in his previous life?That is to eat by mouth!
Those college students who just graduated under him can always be incited to howl by him.

When he yelled these words, it could be said to be loud and full of anger.

Even Le Chan behind him, Le Wu next to him, Li Yuanxiu and the others couldn't help but feel moved. One can imagine how the Leizhou Army, which had already given birth to surrender, felt.

They only felt a puff of air in their chests, as if they couldn't breathe quickly.They were forced to come to Quzhou Island to attack the Forbidden Army, and they were not happy at all.

Suddenly, the army didn't know who it was, and suddenly shouted: "Zhang San, a soldier guarding the Song Dynasty, kowtows to the emperor!"

With his shout, the loyalty in the hearts of countless soldiers was urged out.

"Li Si, a guard of the Song Dynasty..."

"Wang Wu, a guarding soldier of the Great Song Dynasty..."

For a while, the shouts were endless, and the soldiers of the Huji and Huzhou armies knelt down on one knee one after another.

Le Chan was overjoyed, and Zhao Dongting heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, these Leizhou troops still have their hearts towards Song Dynasty.

Seeing the soldiers like this, the generals in the front row knew that they could not change the overall situation, so they dismounted one after another and knelt down to Zhao Dongting.

Those who wanted to surrender but didn't want to surrender, and those who wanted to attack but dared not attack, are now following the general trend.

Zhao Dongting knew that time was running out, and immediately said: "Okay, then all warriors will follow me into the city and help me resist the rebels!"

Hearing his words, some people hesitated, fearing that there would be traps in the city.

But there were also some people who had completely decided to turn against them, stood up and walked towards the city.Those generals who didn't really want to surrender didn't dare to stop them.

Zhao Dongting was afraid that he would change if he was late, so he led the cavalry and rushed into the city again.

When they returned to the city, they could only see a continuous line of Leizhou soldiers rushing towards the city gate.

No matter the ancients or modern people, there is always an idea of ​​following the crowd in their bones.Someone took the lead, and naturally more and more soldiers entered the city.

Zhang Shijie looked at Zhao Dongting for persuading so many Leizhou troops to enter the city in a short period of time, and his eyes could not help but be filled with admiration.

Zhao Dongting spread out his palms, looked down, his palms were already covered with sweat.He was nervous just now, only he knew it.

When the scouts of Dinghai and the enemy army in the east saw the soldiers entering the city from the south, they hurriedly reported to the commander, but how could the commanders of the two armies dare to stop them?
Having seen the power of the minefields, they don't even have the courage to approach the city wall.

They knew that the guarding army and the state guarding army had mutinied, and even if they wanted to stop them, they were afraid that they would be hacked to death by those mutinous soldiers.

When Ge Lijun, Zhang Hongfan and the others led the army to the outside of the Xinggong City, the south of the city wall was almost empty.

Lord Ge Li was full of doubts, and asked the military adviser next to him, "Where is our army?"

The military master was also confused, and said embarrassingly: "This, this, my lord... I don't know..."

Lord Ge Li snorted heavily, and was about to send scouts to call the generals of the various armies to gather, but he saw nearly ten horses roaring towards him.

Now outside the entire southern city wall, there are no more than a thousand generals and soldiers of the Guarding Army and the Guarding Army.

When he got closer, Mr. Ge Li saw clearly how many people he had arranged to serve as generals in the two armies.When they came over, they asked, "Where are your soldiers?"

Those generals looked at me and I looked at you, all bowed their heads and dared not answer.

Mr. Ge Li felt some ominous feeling in his heart, and shouted in a deep voice: "This government is asking you something!"

One of his trusted generals raised his head bravely and said, "My lord, they... they have all gone into the city."

Mr. Ge Li didn't realize it yet, he thought he had entered the city, and he was pleasantly surprised, "You broke the city? Good! When you return to Leizhou, the government will reward you for your meritorious deeds."

The general swallowed, "He...they all mutinied."

The look of surprise on Ge Lijun's face froze instantly.

Immediately, his face gradually became stiff, and there was a strong murderous intent in his words, "What did you say?"

No matter how trusted this general was, he was afraid of being beheaded by the furious Lord Ge Li, so he dared not answer right now.

Ge Lijun's hands trembled slightly, and at this moment he was extremely angry.If it wasn't for his usual calmness, he might not be able to withstand the impact at this time and fall off the horse.

After waiting for several minutes, he managed to suppress the rage, and ordered to the left and right: "Take them down and behead them all!"

The faces of these generals who guarded the state and guarded the army suddenly changed greatly in fright, and quickly got off their horses and knelt down to beg for mercy.

The military adviser whispered beside him, "My lord, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to kill the general before the battle."

But Mr. Ge Li waved his hands impatiently, "Their soldiers are all mutiny, what's the use of them?"

Dozens of pro-army troops poured out from left and right, and chopped down all these generals to the ground.

The blood flowed to the feet of Mr. Ge Li's war horse, he looked down, dazed.

In fact, he didn't want to kill the generals before the battle, but he couldn't swallow the sigh in his heart if he didn't kill these trash.

After a while, he said with a cold face: "Camp on the spot!"

Although the voice was harsh, it was no longer as aggressive as before.Undoubtedly, the mutiny of the three armed forces dealt a great blow to his confidence.

Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng led the army to gather in the southeast corner, but they did not see this scene.

Seeing Zhang Hongfan's handsome appearance, the soldiers of the Yuan army in the city secretly became agitated.

In the evening, Ge Lijun and Zhang Hongfan, a total of nearly [-] soldiers, had camped outside the palace to light a fire and start cooking.

In the city, there are also bursts of rice fragrance.

Zhao Dongting decided to fight to the end, and sent these Leizhou soldiers who had just surrendered to various places to assist in the defense. At the same time, of course, it also meant to prevent the Yuan army from surrendering.He has no choice at all now, he can only trust these surrendered Leizhou army, otherwise the palace will be destroyed sooner or later.

"emperor!"

At this moment, he, Le Chan and others were eating in the room, but Lu Xiufu arrived in a hurry, with a little anxiety on his face.

He was the head of civil servants, and Zhao Dongting gave him full responsibility for all logistics matters.

Seeing him rushing in, Zhao Dongting asked, "Why is Master Lu so anxious?"

Lu Xiufu said: "The money and food officer just came to report, and the city suddenly increased its staff by nearly 3 people. I'm afraid the food and grass will not be able to last for a long time."

He was naturally anxious about this matter. When marching and fighting, everyone had to fill their stomachs. If the food and grass were cut off, even if the soldiers did not mutiny, their morale would plummet.

Zhao Dongting put down his chopsticks and frowned slightly, "How much longer can we last?"

Lu Xiufu pondered: "Even if we plan carefully, I'm afraid we can only last for five days at most. After five days, we will definitely run out of food."

Unexpectedly, when Zhao Dongting heard this, his expression suddenly relaxed a lot, and he said: "Fifth day, it should be almost over. You should firmly suppress the news first, and distribute the food as you like." , don’t save, lest the soldiers have doubts.”

Lu Xiufu was slightly stunned, and then happily said: "Could it be that the emperor has a good plan to retreat from the enemy?"

Zhao Dongting smiled, but didn't answer, just picked up chopsticks to eat again.
