The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 722 The Battle of Hengshan Village ([-])

Even Zhang Jue, who was directly promoted from Wen Tianxiang's staff general to commander of the Tiangu army, was delighted. Many generals were all surprised by this battle situation.

Ever since the implementation of the New Deal in Zhao Dongting's army and Dali allocating Shenlong guns, they only trained soldiers in the military area, and never brought the Shenlong guns to the battlefield.I really didn't expect that after the Shenlong gun had formed a large scale, it would have such a terrifying attack power.

Now these rebels have already turned their backs before reaching the trenches, and everyone feels that they are sure to win.

Because, in the trenches, there are still a lot of Thunderbolts.Moreover, the firearms such as the artillery carts arranged above the trenches have not yet released their firepower.

On the top of the city, Zhao Bing, Xiao Zhenghao and others were also watching the battle.

Seeing the sparks shining densely outside the city, their expressions are not very good-looking.

The sparks splashed out by these Shenlong guns were too dense, and there was no confusion at all.This is enough to show that the private soldiers they recruited from various villages have not yet been able to rush to the Song army camp.

This is naturally not the situation they want to see.The chance of victory in this battle lies with these private soldiers!
It is impossible to destroy Zhang Jue's [-] imperial troops by relying on the guards in the city alone.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhenghao couldn't help but asked Zhao Bing, "Your Highness, shall we let the army go out of the city to respond now?"

Zhao Bing seemed to be slightly distracted, "The war has just begun, do we need to use all our troops?"

Xiao Zhenghao said: "The final general is worried that after paying too much price, these rogues from various villages will lead the army to leave. They are greedy, but they cherish their lives even more."

Rumble.

And just as the two were talking, the flames outside the city suddenly appeared.

There was a thunderous explosion.

It was also vaguely mixed with the screams of soldiers.

In the flash of flames, it seemed that the soldiers engulfed by the flames could still be seen.

The faces of the generals in the city were even more ugly.

Even Xie Lisan, who was standing next to Zhao Bing, couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect the firearms of the Song Army to be so powerful."

Even he, looking at the explosions of flames, felt a little hopeless in his heart.Perhaps with his ability, it would be difficult to break through the Song army camp.

"If you don't let the defenders in the city fight out of the city, you will lose this battle."

At this time, Yu Linglong came up from the bottom of the city with the old man holding the sword.As soon as he arrived at Zhao Bing's side, he said this sentence.

Chen Yizhong, who has frankly attached himself to Shuzhong, seems to have abandoned his old master Zhao Bing, and now he is obediently following behind Yu Linglong.

"Your Highness."

He bowed slightly to Zhao Bing.

But Zhao Bing ignored him.

Obviously, Zhao Bing was still full of resentment towards Chen Yizhong at this time.He can rebel against the Song Dynasty himself, but he may not be able to accept his subordinates betraying him.

He just looked at Yu Linglong, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "After arriving in Sichuan, how long will your lord let me live?"

Yu Linglong said: "What do you mean by your Highness?"

Zhao Bing sneered, "Your lord must have the heart to proclaim himself emperor, and when he proclaims himself emperor, do you think I can still keep this king alive?"

He was straight to the point, and asked very straightforwardly.

Yu Linglong was slightly startled, and then a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, which was very charming, "Your Highness is worrying too much. My master, I am not as petty as you think."

"Oh?"

Zhao Bing's eyes were slightly surprised and playful.

Yu Linglong said again: "As long as His Highness does not cause any trouble in Sichuan, it will cause no trouble to my Patriarch. My Patriarch will definitely let His Highness enjoy the glory forever."

When Zhao Bing heard the words, he just heheed twice, neither saying he believed it nor saying he didn't believe it.

But later, he still said to Xiao Zhenghao next to him: "General Xiao, lead the soldiers out of the city! This king will send elite soldiers to assist you."

Xiao Zhenghao cupped his hands solemnly, "The last general takes orders."

Then he took several generals and many soldiers and hurried towards the top of the city.

Amidst the creaking sound, the north gate of Hengshan Village opened slowly.

Some cavalry came out of the city with torches.

Zhao Bing watched the cavalry getting closer and closer to the Song army's camp, and murmured: "Master Yu Pavilion, this king has spared no effort and laid down all his belongings."

Yu Linglong also looked outside the city, "Your Highness is like this, my Patriarch will definitely keep it in mind."

Then the corners of the mouth formed a beautiful smile, and said: "And if His Highness leads troops to Sichuan, my Patriarch will be on guard against you, won't he?"

"Ha ha!"

Zhao Bing suddenly laughed twice, "Exchanging the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in Yongzhou for your stunning beauty, my king, is not too bad a loss."

He once said that if the lord in the middle of Sichuan was willing to marry Yu Linglong to him, he would use all the power of Yongzhou to consume the strength of the Song army.Yu Linglong actually sent a letter to Shuzhong for instructions.

And in the morning of this day, the mysterious young master in Sichuan also wrote back.

He agreed.

After saying these words, Zhao Bing suddenly said meaningfully: "Master Yu Pavilion, will we be considered husband and wife in the future?"

Yu Linglong's eyes showed a slight annoyance, but she was extraordinary in the end, the smile on the corner of her mouth did not freeze at all, she just said softly: "When His Highness becomes emperor, Linglong will keep her promise."

Zhao Bing nodded noncommittally and stopped talking.

Xiao Zhenghao led the army to less than 500 meters south of Song's camp.

Gunshots rang out.

Sparks flickered on the edge of the trench, like a sky full of stars.

Xiao Zhenghao didn't rush to the front, but kept shouting, "Kill! Kill!"

On the top of the city, the drums of war are like thunder, constantly resounding.

In the barracks, horns sounded continuously.

The battle to the north of the Song Dynasty barracks also started.

So far, except for the east side where the cliff stands tall, the Song Dynasty barracks have been attacked on three sides.

But the thousands of soldiers acted like the most difficult barrier to break through, firmly blocking the rebel army and the defenders in Hengshan village from the barracks.

It was so hard for nearly 10 minutes to pass that the sound of the cannons suddenly became intense.

After all, the number of Tiangu army's Shenlong blunderbuss soldiers is limited. Under the charge of tens of thousands of chaotic troops, it is impossible to keep them a hundred meters away from the trench.

Inside the handsome tent, Zhao Dongting was slightly moved, and suddenly looked at Zhang Jue.

Without Zhao Dongting opening his mouth, Zhang Jue already understood what he meant, and ordered: "Beat the drums! Let the cannon thrower throw the cannon!"

"Yes!"

A messenger who had been waiting outside the tent ran into the tent, took the order arrow, took the order and ran away in a hurry.

Zhang Jue yelled again: "Send an order to send General Ren's Flying Army out!"

Another messenger ran into the tent.

"Send an order to let Miesha and Dasheng's armies go around to the west and south of Hengshan Village respectively, and cut off the road to Queen Guang!"

For taking down Hengshan Village, he is already certain to win.However, it is also difficult to predict which direction Zhao Bing will flee after losing power.

What is certain is that with Zhao Bing's temperament, he should never just sit and wait in the city.

One by one, the messengers ran away in a hurry after receiving the arrows.

Soon, a hot air balloon took off.

In addition to the thousand hot air balloons of the Flying Army, a hundred hot air balloons of the Tiangu Army also took off at the same time.

These flame-burning hot air balloons are like Kongming lanterns rising into the sky.

But on the ground, the fighting situation was extremely tragic.

Of course, this tragedy was only for the guards of Hengshan village and those rebels.

The gun-throwing vehicles arranged on the trenches, and the soldiers in the trenches kept throwing thunderbolts, and it is unknown how many rebels died under the artillery fire.

The west, north, and south sides of the Great Song Army Camp were littered with corpses.

Even, there is already a strong smell of burning in the air.

But at this time, on the top of the city, Zhao Bing, Yu Linglong, Chen Yizhong, and the old man with the sword suddenly left the city.

Then, when the hot air balloons of the Flying Army had just dispersed to the west, north, and south of the barracks for assistance, more than a thousand hot air balloons suddenly appeared in the night sky in the city.Float out of the city.

Zhao Bing, who was wearing a python robe, climbed to the top of the city again.

Xie Lisan was still standing upright on the top of the city, looked at Zhao Bing, and looked outside the city again.

More than a thousand hot air balloons quickly approached the sky above the Song Dynasty military camp.

These things made the rebel army and the Hengshan village defenders who had never seen such things on the ground couldn't help but look up.

Outside the tent of the commander of the barracks, a scout ran into the tent with an anxious expression, "Report to the commander, there are more than a thousand hot air balloons in the city approaching the sky above our army!"

Zhao Dongting, Zhang Jue and others all showed surprise.

More than a thousand hot air balloons, this is definitely a force that cannot be ignored.However, they hadn't gotten any news before.

I really didn't expect that Zhao Bing actually had such a hole card.

Zhang Jue looked at Zhao Dongting.

He is a tiger general, but when it comes to the battle of firearms, he is far inferior to Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Let the Flying Army in the south block them for now! Military orders, it's time to use the sky cannon!"
