The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 631 Fighting Again in Chongqing
She led the eunuchs and maids to find Zhao Dongting in Wudingtang Zangshuge.

At that time, Zhao Dongting was standing outside Zangshu Pavilion with the Chief Eunuch of the Inner Servant's Mansion.

Concubine Yang Shu walked directly in front of Zhao Dongting and asked, "Yes, you already know about Bing'er's request to accept the concubine?"

Concubine Yang Shu is in charge of the affairs of the harem for the time being, so she doesn't know whether Zhao Dongting has heard the news before her.

Zhao Dongting smiled lightly and said, "Mother, Eunuch Gan just told me about this."

Concubine Yang Shu was a little surprised, "Then why are you still like this..."

It's just that Eunuch Gan, the chief eunuch in charge of the internal servant's mansion, was present, so he didn't finish his sentence.

And Eunuch Gan was able to climb to his current position in the palace, he was a man with a clear mind.Seeing Concubine Yang Shu hesitate to speak, she quietly walked away.

Zhao Dongting asked strangely: "Mother, what's wrong with Brother Bing's letter to be a side concubine?"

"You really don't understand or are you fake?"

Concubine Yang Shu frowned slightly and said, "Bing'er is pregnant with an heir now. If it's a girl, it's okay, but if it's a boy, it will affect your status. You and Concubine De have not been able to have children in recent years. The ministers of the DPRK and China all have their hearts towards you, so they said nothing, but can you guarantee that they will still be like this in the future?"

Undoubtedly, between Zhao Shi and Zhao Bing, Concubine Yang Shu naturally cared more closely for her own child.This is human nature.

Zhao Dongting just chuckled, "Mother, the Great Song Dynasty was restored in my hands. I don't believe it, just because I have no heirs, those ministers will lean towards Brother Bing and plot to usurp us. If there are ministers who really think so, then It’s worth noting such a minister. Moreover, even if someone really has such thoughts, Brother Bing may not agree.”

Concubine Yang Shu had a lot of meaning, "But I heard that King Guang's actions these days are a bit intriguing?"

Zhao Dongting was slightly startled, he didn't expect that even Concubine Yang Shu received some rumors.

Zhao Bing did not surpass anything in Yongzhou, but it seemed too mysterious, as if he was isolated from the imperial court.This in itself is an unsettling factor.

But then Zhao Dongting just laughed, "Mother, don't listen to those rumors with ulterior motives. No matter whether it is this dynasty or the foreign dynasty, there are too many people who want to see me and brother Bing at odds. If there is a dispute between me and brother Bing Unpleasant, it’s just pain for loved ones, joy for enemies.”

Concubine Yang Shu remained silent, "The matter of King Guang's letter to concubine..."

Zhao Dongting still laughed, "Brother Bing is now at the age of marriage. Since he wants to accept a concubine, of course we have to support him. In my opinion, apart from allowing Brother Bing to accept a concubine, we can't be too stingy. I want to reward him with something. In addition, since the woman is pregnant with an heir, it would be nice to give him a title."

"Ugh……"

Concubine Yang Shu sighed softly.

She was still a little worried, but since Zhao Dongting had already said so, she couldn't say anything more.

This matter, even if it is so settled.

On this day, the Zhengsi Temple of Chaozhong Zong began to plan to approve the concubine of Guangwang and confer the title of side concubine of Guangwang.

……

Yue Peng led Qingqi and was still marching towards Chongqing Mansion.

The Chongqing government reignited the flames of war.

In the early hours of the morning, the sky just opened.From outside the west gate of Chongqing Mansion, there are densely packed hot air balloons flying towards Chongqing Mansion.

Those clusters of flames were like burning clouds in the sky.

The alarm bell rang on the city wall of Chongqing Prefecture.

The Xixia soldiers on the top of the city hurried down the city, patted their horses and headed towards the city.

Li Wangyuan led He Liancheng and other generals to gallop from the government office to the city head. On the way, the generals of the Qitian Army turned and rushed to the barracks.

After boarding the top of the city, seeing the hot air balloons coming from central Sichuan getting closer and closer to the top of Chongqing Prefecture, Li Wangyuan stomped his feet: "It's still a waste of time."

During these days, he sent letters to Zhao Dongting again and again to set compensation conditions.After all, Shuzhong was given a chance.

Li Wangyuan knew that the Song Dynasty had already rushed to Kuizhou, but he didn't know where they were now.

In this day and age, it is still inconvenient to communicate with the Sichuan Express.

"Your Majesty, what should we do? Should we abandon the city or..." He Liancheng asked from the side.

Li Wangyuan didn't hesitate, and said, "Of course it's to stop these soldiers from central Shu. If we abandon the city, what will we give to the Song Dynasty? What about the gold and silver that has already been transported to the city?"

But in his heart, he undoubtedly cared most about whether he could get Li Xiushu back, but he didn't want to talk about it anymore.

He Liancheng looked at the densely packed hot air balloons in the sky, "But there are so many hot air balloons in Sichuan, it may not be easy for us to block them."

"No matter what, we have to delay until we hand over the Chongqing Mansion to the Song Dynasty. At that time, it's none of our business." Li Wangyuan only said.

Soon nearly a thousand hot air balloons rose slowly in the city.

Since both Shuzhong and Xixia have hot air balloons, they have seen the power of this sharp weapon and have made every effort to develop the air force.Today, there are even more hot air balloons than the Flying Army.

Nearly a thousand Qi Tianjun hot air balloons flew over the west gate and looked down the city.

There is a red flag waving on the head of the city.

Nearly a thousand hot air balloons headed out of the city.Change formations in the air.

As the use of hot air balloons becomes more and more familiar, it is obvious that both Shuzhong and Xixia have figured out many ways to use hot air balloons to fight.

There are formations to speak of when fighting on the ground, and they are quite powerful.The same is true for fighting in the air.

Nearby, Qi Tianjun's hot air balloons slowly gather into a circle in the air.

Round formation, best at defense.

There are obviously many more hot air balloons in central Sichuan. It is undoubtedly a very wise move for the generals of the Xixia Qitian Army to defend in a circular formation.

As for those hot air balloons in central Sichuan, there were flag soldiers waving their flags in front of the army.

There are probably [-] hot air balloons changing into a cone formation in a short period of time, with the cone as the tip, and the two wings assisting, trying to directly pierce the Xixia army's circle formation.

On the top of the wall, Li Wangyuan and others stared nervously.

Before any force developed an ordnance to restrain hot air balloons, hot air balloons were invincible, which made war less variable and became a bit boring.

As long as there are enough thunderstorms, the hot air balloon can win, and the victory of the battle can basically be determined.

This can't help Li Wangyuan and others not to be nervous.

The number of hot air balloons in Sichuan is far greater than that of the Qitian Army. If the Qitian Army is defeated, the city walls of Chongqing Prefecture are bound to be bombarded by Thunderbolt.Although there is no underground army in central Sichuan, it is impossible to take Chongqing Mansion with hot air balloons alone, but if the defenders of the city are disabled and the underground army in central Sichuan arrives, what should they use to resist?
The two mighty formations, one cone formation and the other circle formation, were no more than tens of meters apart after a few minutes.

Both sides rocketed.

Little sparks of light flashed across the air.

Just at the beginning, there was an arrow in the hot air balloon, and it was about to fall downwards.

The soldiers in the hanging basket all had pale faces.

Falling from a height of hundreds of meters, there is no parachute in this era, and there is no way to survive.Even a true martial artist can be said to be certain to die.

The soldiers on the hot air balloon will die if there is no accident.

On the falling hot air balloon, the calls were not only full of timidity, but also full of strong despair.

But the war will not end just because a few hot air balloons fall.

After a hot air balloon fell to the ground, due to the strong impact force, it caused an explosion in the gondola.

This made the soldiers who were already smashed into human shapes be blown to a bloody mess.

In the hot air balloon formation of both sides, the hot air balloon where the general was located did not dare to rush to the front.

A general may not be afraid of death, but if he wants to command the whole army, he cannot die lightly.

The hot air balloons in Shuzhong shot down more than ten Xixia hot air balloons one after another, tearing some gaps in the circle.

But from the inner circle of the circle, there were hot air balloons to make up for it.

The clash of spear and shield.

This kind of battle situation is the easiest to stalemate.

Li Wangyuan and others were on the top of the city, although they had an army of tens of thousands, they were helpless.

One by one the hot air balloons caught fire and crashed to the ground.

Groups of flames exploded on the ground.

This caused countless potholes with traces of gunpowder smoke to appear in the wilderness outside the city.

Time passed.

Li Wangyuan and the others were always reluctant to go down to the top of the city, and every time they saw Qi Tianjun's hot air balloon falling down, they felt heartbroken and bleeding.

With the weaving technology of this era, it is not easy to make every hot air balloon.Otherwise, Xixia would not have only nearly a thousand hot air balloons.

However, as the battle situation gradually became stalemate, the circular formation was still on the verge of being broken.

After the hot air balloon in Shuzhong pierced into the deep circle, the formation changed again.The conical formation slowly evolved into the flying geese formation.

The flying geese are best at outflanking and encircling.
