The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 840 Blocking Outside the City ([-])

If the two of them die here, it will have an impact on the entire Song army.

But Zhu Haiwang only said: "You were led out of the city by this commander, at this moment, how can this commander avoid the city by himself?"

Zhu Hecong also said: "It's our decision to go out of the city to stop the attack, and it's also our decision to defend the dangerous ground. We should fight together with you."

He looked far to the north, "Since we plan to make the final resistance here, everyone we leave the city should stay."

"But you are the deputy commander of Zhengyue!"

Zhu Mingkai showed a little anxious look, and then shouted: "Come here!"

The remaining ten or so soldiers in his army were not far away from him, and when they heard his shout, they hurried over.

Zhu Haiwang realized something, stared and said, "Zhu Mingkai, what do you want to do?"

But Zhu Mingkai stood up and ordered to the soldiers under his command: "Bring the two deputy commanders back to Yongzhou City! There must be no accidents for the two deputy commanders!"

The ten or so soldiers walked towards Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong immediately without any hesitation.

On the side, Mao Xingyan, Fan Pengyun, Hong Wutian and others had no intention of helping, and even Zhu Zongyao just sat there sighing.

Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong were just ordinary scholars who didn't know martial arts, so they were forcibly dragged away by more than ten soldiers in an instant.

The two kept struggling.

Zhu Haiwang cursed: "Zhu Mingkai, you are bold! You are committing the following crimes!"

But no one paid any attention to him.

Zhu Haiwang then shouted: "This commander wants you to be dealt with by military law! I want you to be dealt with by military law!"

Zhu Mingkai bowed his hands to Zhu Haiwang, his voice was very low, "If the last general can still see the deputy commander alive, let the deputy commander punish him!"

Then he stopped looking at Zhu Haiwang, and said to Mao Xing: "My lord, go and call some brothers who are familiar with the terrain. Let's prepare to deploy defense!"

Mao Xingyan nodded, stood up and walked to the side.

Zhu Mingkai looked at Hong Wutian, Zhu Zongyao and the others again, "I still need to trouble the two seniors to protect the two deputy commanders."

Zhu Zongyao and others looked at each other.

Hong Wutian opened his mouth and said: "Master Zhu, madam, go and protect Haiwang and He Cong Zhouquan!"

Zhu Zongyao shook his head, "Someone from my Zhu family must stay here."

He looked at Tie Liduan and said, "Brother Tie, you should go!"

Tie Liduan grinned, "I've fought Jianghu warriors in Yan Yu Tang for many years, ask Hong Gui, Jian Shisi and others, how have I ever retreated?"

Red Ghost and Sword Fourteen all laughed.

No one planned to leave.

Kumano doesn't necessarily want to stay here, but unfortunately, no one has the intention of letting him leave.

Zhu Mingkai felt a little helpless, and finally had no choice but to hand over to Mrs. Xu: "The safety of the two deputy commanders will bother seniors."

The dozen or so soldiers under his command escorted Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong towards Yongzhou City.Mrs. Xu nodded, looked at Hong Wutian, and followed.

Many soldiers around watched Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong being escorted away, but there was no commotion.

Even if they knew that Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong were the deputy commanders, they would undoubtedly be more willing to obey the orders of the generals.

Soon, Mao Xingyan recruited a few local soldiers who had joined the army.

These soldiers are all from Yongzhou City and are quite familiar with the terrain.

It's just that after asking, the result is that Zhu Mingkai and others can't help but feel very dignified.

There are two official roads from Guwanzhai to Yongzhou City, one is along the river and the other is a dry road.This means that they have a mere thousand people, and they have to divide their troops into two groups.

Because they must cut off any route for the troops of the Yueli Dynasty to attack Yongzhou City.

Not long after, Mao Xingyan and Fan Yunpeng led their troops to leave, and even the more than two hundred priests in Wuding Hall were divided into two groups.

Mao Xingyan guarded the waterway.

Fan Yunpeng and Zhu Mingkai guarded the dry road.Of course, Zhu Mingkai is just a bald regiment leader now.

At this time, the army of the Yue Li Dynasty was only a few miles away from them.

After another five li of rushing to the north, Mao Xingyan led hundreds of people to stop first.

Zuojiang flows continuously at the foot of the mountain.

There are official roads winding in the mountains.

This is the place with the steepest terrain on the official road leading to Yongzhou City.

Hundreds of people moved a lot of stones from the mountain, and began to build bunkers at the corner of the official road. Even Hong Wutian, Zhu Zongyao, Kumano, and Tie Liduan who followed in the army were not idle.

Not to mention the ordinary offerings of the more than a hundred shadow halls.

"Hall Master, the army of the Yue Li Dynasty is coming!"

Before their bunkers were fully built, some priests from the Shadow Palace hurried over to report to Yue Yue.

They have been trained in the Shadow Hall, and their steps are as silent as night owls.

In terms of investigation, even the scouts in the Imperial Army of the Great Song Dynasty are undoubtedly far behind the priests of the Shadow Palace.Because they are all assassins.

Yue Yue nodded and looked at Mao Xingyan, "Lord Mao, they're here!"

Mao Xingyan slapped the front bunker angrily, but he had no choice but to shout in a low voice: "Brothers, prepare for battle!"

The soldiers of the garrison and the priests of the Shadow Palace stopped moving stones everywhere, and gathered behind the bunkers to hide.

On the bunker made of stones, only the black barrel of the gun was exposed.

In just a few minutes, soldiers from the Yue Li Dynasty appeared on the official road below.

Because the official road is not wide, they are just four people walking side by side, and the army stretches so far that it is not known how far behind.

Mao Xingyan raised his hands up, staring closely at the Yueli soldiers below through the gap in the bunker, ready to issue orders at any time.

However, the soldiers of the Yue Li Dynasty who were tens of meters below did not take the pile of stones on the mountain to heart.

Because there are small villages in the mountains, many farmers who grow crops in the mountains use such stones to surround their vegetable gardens.

Even the Yue Li army didn't even send scouts to the mountain to check.

It's just that someone went along the official road to inquire.

This mountain is quite barren, with very little vegetation.No one would think that the Song army would make a surprise attack here, because there would be no place for the Song army to run in a surprise attack here.

"beat!"

There were more than a hundred soldiers waiting for Li Chao to go around the bend, Mao Xingyan suddenly pressed his hand down and shouted loudly.

This roar immediately broke the peace in the mountain.

Gunshots sounded.

The garrison soldiers hiding behind the bunker pulled the trigger one after another.

"what!"

"There is Song Jun!"

"There is an ambush!"

When the hundreds of Li Chao's soldiers below were hit, many of them were hit by bullets, or fell down on the mountain path, or rolled away towards the hillside.

Even the soldiers behind were a little flustered.

They really did not expect that Song Jun would set up an ambush here.

How many people does Song Jun have?

Are they here to die?

Some of the clever Yue Li Chao soldiers hurriedly ran to the hillside next to the official road to hide.In this way, it is indeed possible to effectively avoid the shooting of the defenders.

Someone ran to the back in a hurry, shouting as he ran: "There is Song Jun! There is Song Jun!"

Soon, many soldiers of Yue Li Chao ran towards the hillside.

The generals in their army are not stupid, they can roughly guess how many soldiers there are in the Song army just by hearing the gunshots.Of course, he would not choose to forcibly rush through the official road like this.

In their minds, it would only take a little time to eliminate this ambushing Song army.

The gunfire continued.

But the Yueli soldiers who ran to the bunker were all over the mountains and plains.

Although Yue Yue and the priests of the Shadow Palace did not have Shenlong guns, they were not idle either.Constantly throwing stones down.

All of them are masters no less than in the Lower Yuan Realm, even if it is a stone, it can display impressive power in their hands.

Many soldiers of the Yueli Dynasty were hit by Shenlong guns or stones, and rolled down the mountain.

Maybe someone rolled directly to the Zuojiang River at the bottom of the mountain, but the water splash is naturally invisible here.

The clear Zuojiang River might be stained with blood today.

"Damn!"

Chen Guojun, who was behind the Yue Li army, soon learned that there was an ambush by the Song army, and couldn't help cursing.

But then he pondered quickly.

He still knows about how many Song troops there are in Yongzhou.The Song army did not defend the city, but ran to the field to ambush one after another, which made him a little puzzled.

According to the defense of the city, with the combat capability of the Song army, it will undoubtedly cause his army to suffer greater casualties.

Just pondering for a while, the coach Li Chao will understand something.

He ordered in a deep voice: "Order the cavalry in the army to change course immediately and attack Yongzhou City along the Zuojiang River!"

He finally figured out that Song Jun was deliberately delaying the march of his army.
