The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 720 The Battle of Hengshan Village ([-])

There is a reason for Zhao Bing's ugly look.

Because he received the secret letter from Encheng Prefecture, he already knew at this moment that Encheng Prefecture had also been captured by Song Jun.

In other words, the imperial army of the Great Song Dynasty was divided into three groups, two of which were overwhelming.There is not much hope for him in Yongzhou.

Unless, he can wipe out Zhang Jue's army with thunder in the battle of Hengshanzhai.In this way, it may be possible to turn defeat into victory.

Otherwise, when the overall situation of the left and right roads is settled, his Hengshan village will also become a deadly place.

But seeing the banners stretching outside the city and the morale of the imperial army of the Song Dynasty like a rainbow, Zhao Bing really had no confidence in his heart.It is too difficult to destroy such an elite in a short period of time.

The reason why he is still here may not be because he still holds the idea of ​​destroying Song Dynasty and snatching Zhao Dongting's throne in his heart, but because he really listened to Yu Linglong's words.

If the rebellion fails, going to Shuzhong to be a puppet emperor is a better choice than going to Yueli Dynasty to suffer.

He spared no effort here to consume the national power of the Song Dynasty, and when he went to Shuzhong, he would be treated even more courteously by the lord of Shuzhong.

It is conceivable that the treatment he will enjoy in the future will obviously be completely different if he has made contributions to Shuzhong and has not made contributions to Shuzhong.

Zhao Bing felt aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do.

He looked at the dark army of the Great Song Dynasty under the city, and suddenly turned back to the city, narrowing his eyes slightly, "Let this Yongzhou be a stepping stone for me, Zhao Bing, to enjoy glory in Shu..."

Of course, in this, he may not mean to be angry with Zhao Dongting.

He was always overshadowed by Zhao Dongting before, and he was extremely jealous.Now that he was about to be defeated by the Song army again, he was even more unwilling and hated in his heart.

It's just that he obviously didn't know that at this time, the Great Song Emperor, who was like an insurmountable mountain in his heart, was staring at him from the army below the city.

Zhao Dongting was next to Zhang Jue, wearing silver armor and sitting on a horse.His eyes looked at Zhao Bing, the head of the city, very complicatedly.

He tried his best to avoid the situation of brotherly killing Zhao Bing, but he didn't expect that he finally came to this point.

Zhang Jue also looked at the top of the city, and asked Zhao Dongting softly, "Your Majesty, do we want to attack the city now?"

"Let's stick to the original plan!"

Zhao Dongting shook his head slightly.

With the Flying Army, it is easy to destroy the city.It is not even an exaggeration to say that as long as the flying army is dispatched, Hengshan Village can be breached in just a few minutes.

No matter how high the city wall of Hengshan Village is, it cannot stop the hot air balloons.

However, at this time, there are many people who are being taken as hostages on the top of the city.Zhao Dongting was naturally unwilling to use the Flying Army.

As for the city, the situation must be similar.The defenders in the city had either already gone into hiding, or they were taking the people as hostages.

Zhang Jue nodded, "Then I will arrange for the soldiers to camp on the spot!"

"it is good."

Zhao Dongting looked around and said with a deep expression, "We'll set up camp here, let's see what kind of strength Zhao Bing's troops have to eat us."

Outside the north gate of Hengshan Village is a depression.This kind of terrain is definitely not easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Zhao Dongting wants to take root here.

The [-] forbidden troops gave him infinite confidence.

"Camp camp!"

Zhang Jue ordered.

The drums in the army beat.

Boom, boom, boom.The drums are very rhythmic.

The densely packed soldiers at the back quickly dispersed in groups.Then in a short period of time, another white tent was pitched outside the Hengshan village.

Many guards of Hengshan Village on the top of the city were slightly surprised.

The Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty came in mighty force, but instead of taking advantage of the situation to attack the city, they set up camp outside the city. What kind of strategy is this?
Zhao Bing and Youjiang Dao Jiedu Envoy Xiao Zhenghao also had doubts on their faces, and Zhao Bing frowned slightly.

After looking at the top of the city for a while, he tilted his head and asked Xiao Zhenghao, "General Xiao, do you think Jun Song is paralyzing us, or does he have other plans?"

Xiao Zhenghao pondered for a while, and said, "Your Highness, the general thinks that the Song army should be able to paralyze us! They camped outside the city, pretending to fight a protracted war, but they might launch a surprise attack inside the city. Then Miao Cheng led the army to attack Encheng, isn't that how it was defeated?"

Zhao Bing narrowed his eyes slightly again, "But I feel a little uneasy..."

Xiao Zhenghao hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the last general has already made a complete arrangement in the city. Even if the Song Army has elite soldiers, it is impossible to break the city easily."

Zhao Bing could only sigh softly, "I hope so! I'm just worried that the Song army will break through the city in some unexpected way. At that time, our arrangements in various places will be meaningless."

He looked into the distance, "Two days. We must stick to Hengshan Village for two days. Only in this way can we win this battle."

Xiao Zhenghao cupped his hands: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will swear to protect Hengshan Village to the death."

A smile appeared on Zhao Bing's face, "You are the only one beside me now. Don't worry, even if you lose this battle, I will not let you be wronged in the middle of Sichuan."

Xiao Zhenghao nodded solemnly, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Above and below the city, they confront each other in a very strange way.The city is waiting in full force, but the city is leisurely and leisurely setting up camp.

Time passed slowly.

For two consecutive days after that, there was no war in Hengshan Village.

Zhang Hongwei's left army led a large army to the territory of Temo Dao, and did not encounter any resistance.

Miao Cheng's right army has also broken through Si'en City and is continuing to march towards Yongzhou.

In the past two days, Zhao Dongting and Zhang Jue kept receiving letters in the tent.

They passed by along the way, and the guards of the cities who hadn't resisted before were all gathering towards Hengshan Village.

Judging from the overall situation, 2 of them are completely surrounded by the Yongzhou rebels.

How many people Zhao Bing has recruited? I can't figure out the exact number yet, but if you think about adding up the guards of more than ten cities, and the many rebellious troops gathered in Hengshan Village, there must be more than [-] troops. Yes, maybe even [-].

The private soldiers in the various villages in Yongzhou were originally inconspicuous, but now gathered together, they are definitely a force that cannot be ignored.At least in numbers.

However, Zhao Dongting and Zhang Jue had no intention of attacking Hengshanzhai before the rebel army arrived.

Letters continued to be delivered to the camp, but the two were still sitting on the Diaoyutai.

By this day, the scouts who came to report were the scouts who went out to explore.

The scouts ran into Zhang Juesai's tent and said to Zhang Jues, "Commander, there are more than [-] rebels in the north who are only twenty miles away from our camp!"

Then, scouts came to his tent to report, almost in an endless stream.

"Commander, the rebel army in the north is only fifteen miles away from our camp!"

"Commander, there are also rebels arriving from the west, about seventeen miles away from our camp!"

"Commander, more than a thousand rebels are gathering towards our army thirty miles to the north!"

Inside the handsome tent, Zhang Jue, Jun Tianfang, Zhao Dongting, Yue Yue, Hong Wutian, Kumano and others are all inside.

Listening to the successive reports from these scouts, even Jun Tianfang, Yue Yue and others showed a slightly worried look on their faces.

Although the number of these rebels is not large per share, they add up to be a bit bluffing.

However, the smile on Zhao Dongting's face became wider and wider, and he became more and more calm.

He just played chess and drank with Hong Wutian and others, and he didn't have the consciousness to face a big battle at all.

And as the rebels got closer and closer to the camp, even Zhang Jue became a little uneasy, "Your Majesty, don't we really need to take any precautions?"

"enough."

Zhao Dongting chuckled and said, "It's enough to have the ditches outside the city. You only need enough bullets and bombs for the generals and detonators for the military aircraft."

Zhang Jue was a little puzzled, but he could only nod his head.

He didn't know what was wrong with the trenches that Zhao Dongting asked his soldiers to dig outside the camp.

After all, in this era, there are very few examples of trench warfare, unless the moat is almost the same.

In the city, Zhao Bing has now rushed to the top of the city again.

However, unlike two days ago, apart from the doubts in his eyes now, there is also a faint joy that cannot be concealed.

In the past two days, the Song army outside the city did not make any siege moves, which made his army form a siege.

Of course he knew that Song Jun did it deliberately, but he also felt that Zhang Jue was too arrogant.

Did Zhang Jue think that [-] imperial troops would definitely be able to stop his approaching [-] soldiers?

Zhao Bing was secretly ruthless, wanting to make Zhang Jue pay for his arrogance.

"Flying Army?"

Zhao Bing sneered in his heart, "Zhang Jue, don't think that you can be invincible just because you have the Flying Army."

Shu Zhong has been in contact with him for a long time. Obviously, there are also hot air balloons in this Hengshan village.However, Zhao Bing hardly mentioned it to anyone.
