The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 853

Another two days passed.

People in Changlin, Songxi, and Zhenghe counties have gradually evacuated the county town within these two days, and now the city is almost empty.

In Changlin County, Su Quandang and Liu Zaiyuan led the Tiangang and Tianli armies to assemble in the city, preparing to completely abandon Changlin.

However, there was no movement in the Yuan army garrison two miles outside the city. I don't know if they are hesitating, or they have already seen Su Quandang's intention.

However, outside of Songxi and Zhenghe counties, the Yuan army was already ready to move.

They probably wouldn't allow the two armies of Tiansu and Tiansha to bring the people back to Jianning Mansion so easily.

Because this is an opportunity.

If the Tiansu and Tiansha troops rushed back to Jianning Mansion, it would take them countless years to capture Jianning Mansion.

No one wants the situation in Xiangyang to reappear.

Especially now that Kublai Khan is also old, this ambitious emperor of the Yuan Dynasty may not really plan to confront the Song Dynasty for more than ten years in his heart.

He can't afford to wait.

Just before the confrontation between the Yuan army and the Tiansu and Tiansha armies, the battle at Hengshan Village on Guangnan West Road took the lead.

After the Dali army rushed to Hengshan village first, they directly occupied Hengshan village.They are afraid that they don't know that the Yue Li army has been wiped out in Qinzhou.

Even the generals in the Dali army were very surprised when they learned that Liu Hongyi and others had led the army close to Hengshan Village.

They didn't know why Song Guo suddenly had so many soldiers and horses rushing to Hengshan Village.

Are they planning to ignore those Yue Li Jun?
Or did the Yue Li army not capture Song's cities at all?
As for the Yue Li army being destroyed, they didn't dare to think about it.Because, Yue Li's army has a full [-] troops.

Originally on Guangnan West Road, the Song Army didn't have many troops that could be mobilized.

It was not until several times that Liu Hongyi was sure that the army was approaching Hengshan Village that the general of the Dali Army ordered the soldiers to set up city defenses.

The general of Dali was named Wang Zigan, and he was unknown before, and he had never even shown his face in Dali.But as soon as he appeared, Duan Qilin entrusted him with an important task and became the chief general of one of the three armies. This is enough to show that he is not ordinary.The biggest possibility is that like Qin Han, he is also a great talent in Guigu Academy.

In terms of talents, Duan Qilin, who has the support of Pojun and Guigu, undoubtedly has an advantage over Zhao Dongting.It is even slightly better than Kublai Khan.

Of course, this may not be the case if the imperial examination system in the Song Dynasty is completely perfected and flourished.

When Liu Hongyi led the garrison army of Jingjiang Mansion and the Qiongzhou Army to the outside of Hengshan Village, the Dali Army at the gate of Hengshan Village was already waiting in full force.

Many catapults are closely arranged.

The cold light of arrows can be faintly seen on the battlements.

Liu Hongyi and others led the army to stop at a distance of about a kilometer from the city.

All the generals raised their binoculars and looked towards the top of the city.

Whether this Dali army is an elite soldier can undoubtedly be seen from the defenses at the top of the city.

After observing, Liu Hongyi and the others shook their heads slightly and sighed.

Ran Anguo and Liu Hongyi looked at each other, and said, "Commander, this Dali army might not be easy to deal with..."

Liu Hongyi nodded lightly, "Yes, looking at the layout of the city defense, it is tight and orderly. All the strongholds can echo each other from a distance, and there are almost no loopholes. This general is by no means mediocre."

The two brothers Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong still lack battlefield experience, and they didn't see much. At this moment, they only frowned and asked, "Then what shall we do?"

Liu Hongyi pondered for a while, and said: "Withdraw the army for two miles first, and let the soldiers set up camp to rest! We need to discuss carefully if we want to take this Hengshan stronghold."

Originally, he led the army to rush to Hengshan Village, intending to directly take down Hengshan Village.But now it is not easy to see this Dali army, and obviously no longer have such thoughts.

Don't say that the Qiongzhou Army and the Garrison Army are not as powerful as the Forbidden Army, even if there are [-] Forbidden Army here, they may not be able to take down Hengshan Village.Even if it can be taken down, I am afraid that it will suffer heavy damage.

All the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were treasures, and Liu Hongyi obviously would not joke about the lives of soldiers.

In just a moment, Liu Hongyi and others led the army to retreat slowly.

The spring breeze blew across the city.

The generals of the Dali Army in the city just laughed lightly as they watched the Song Army retreat.

The prince was wearing black armor and his face was cold.At this moment, the corners of his mouth curled up a little.

He didn't worry about whether the Song army could attack the city or not.Even, he is more willing to see the Song army not attacking the city.

Seeing the Song army retreating further and further, he suddenly said to the general next to him: "Order the scouts to go out of the city to investigate. In addition, gather [-] troops."

The general at the side was stunned, "General, are you going out of the city?"

The prince said with a dry smile: "There is no heavy city around Hengshan Village, the Song army will not be too far away, and must camp outside the city. How can such a good opportunity be missed?"

"But……"

The general at the side hesitated, "The combat power of the Song army is not simple. General, do you think it over again?"

Wang Zigan showed contempt on his face, "Be timid before fighting. No wonder you were beaten so badly by Song Jun before."

The general's face was flushed red, but he was speechless.Because he was Song Ruili who was defeated by Liu Zhuwen in the Xiushan Army before.

He is also a great talent in Guigu Academy, but at this moment, he can only let the prince do such humiliation.This is only because he is the general of the defeated army.

Everyone in Guigu Academy is arrogant and arrogant. If they are defeated by people outside the academy, they will really be looked down upon.

After being slightly startled, Song Ruili walked away with some anger.

Several masters jumped down from the city wall like phantoms, they are masters in the Dali army.

Then, the Dali army began to gather in the city.

The gathering was silent, but the assembled Dali army was full of murderous aura.

He was attacked by the Song army before and was beaten so badly.The current Dali army attacked the Song Dynasty this time, but they all came with the idea of ​​revenge.

After the [-] troops were assembled, Wang Ziqian went to the army in person and shouted: "Warriors, destroy the Song army and take shame on us today!"

"kill!"

Just now a soldier wanted to shout loudly, but he waved his hand to suppress him, "Don't shout, save your courage and murderous aura, and let Song Jun tremble in front of you!"

outside the city.

Liu Hongyi, Ran Anguo and others led the army to a certain hillside about two miles away from Hengshan Village and started camping.

The hillside is a bit steep, which can hinder the charge of the cavalry, so it is a good place to camp.

But no one thought that the Dali Army would actually go out of the city to attack.After all, they had just arrived outside Hengshan Village, if the Dali army wanted to fight, they could have gone out of the city to fight.

There was not much tension in the Song Army camp.

The soldiers camped separately.

White tents quickly spread across the Nuoda hillside.

Some soldiers went to the surrounding forests to cut wood, and then built fences outside the barracks.

There were clanging sounds inside and outside the barracks.

This is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time.

And their actions all fell into the eyes of those Dali masters who followed them here.

After watching for a while, these masters all turned back to Hengshan Village.

When they saw Wang Zigan and reported it, the smile on the corner of Wang Zigan's mouth became even colder.

"set off!"

The east gate of Hengshan Village opened slowly with creaking sounds, Wang Ziqian led an army of [-] and left the city.The army is dominated by cavalry.

And in the city, there are also Dali's Zhentian Army gathered, ready to fight.

Just after leaving the city, the [-] troops attacked the Song Army barracks at an extremely fast speed.

However, the distance of only three miles is nothing to the cavalry.

The sound of horseshoes is like a dragon.

Smoke and dust noise.

It wasn't until they were only about a mile away from the Song Army's camp that the Song Army's sentries noticed it.

Seeing so many Dali cavalry menacingly approaching, the sentinel hiding in the forest turned pale with fright, tremblingly took out the signal flare from his arms and fired it.

Song Jun in the barracks was shocked when he saw the signal bomb explode in the air.

The sound of the horn resounded in the camp in a blink of an eye.

Liu Hongyi, Zhu Haiwang and the others were originally staying in the tent, but they all hurried out of the tent at this moment.

A soldier ran up to them and reported: "General, there are sentries firing signal flares one after another in the forest on the west side!"

"The Dali army is coming to attack!"

Zhu Haiwang cried out in surprise.

Liu Hongyi shouted: "Assemble quickly! Assemble quickly!"

The sound of horns in the barracks seemed a little more urgent.
