The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 858
"Soldiers, remember today! Remember these brave and dedicated brothers! Their blood debt needs to be paid by the enemy with their lives!"

After more than a dozen piles of flames were gradually extinguished, Liu Hongyi stood in the middle of the crowd and said these words loudly.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The surrounding soldiers shouted in unison.

This shout seemed to be able to disperse the rain and fog in the air.

……

In the territory of Jinghu North Road, it is also raining in spring.The whole day and night seemed to be shrouded in misty rain.

On the official roads outside Changlin County, there are people with their families walking, either going west to Dangyang County, or going south to Jiangling Mansion.

Liu Tong, head of the Changlin garrison regiment, led less than [-] garrison troops to escort the officials of Changlin County, who were also on their way south.

However, the garrison of Changde Mansion led by Wen Qi was nowhere to be seen.

They were all lying in ambush on Rooster Ridge.

Rooster Ridge is hundreds of meters above sea level, with undulating mountains and dense vegetation.Hiding tens of thousands of people is no longer a problem.

It wasn't until Su Quandang and Liu Zaiyuan led the Tiangang and Tianli armies to the foot of Degongji Ridge that Wen Qi led several generals out of the mountain.

He directly approached Su Quandang and asked, "Su Shuai, what's the matter?"

At this moment, all of them were covered with rainwater, and they looked very wet.

Su Quandang even had water droplets on his eyelashes, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "The Yuan army doesn't seem to intend to pursue us, but to occupy Changlin County."

Wen moved his face, "Then we are going to counterattack Changlin County?"

"Do not."

However, Su Quandang shook his head and said, "Maybe we are still under surveillance by the Yuan army. If we want to counterattack Chang Lin, we still need to continue to confuse them."

Wen raised his eyes to look behind the army, and said, "What Su Shuai means is that we continue to pretend to retreat?"

Su Quandang nodded with a smile at the corner of his mouth, "This commander and Commander Liu will lead the Tiangang and Tianli armies first. Commander Wen, let the soldiers come out of the mountain. After getting out of the Rooster Ridge, Commander Liu and I will lead the Special Regiment and Feitian Regiment." , The grenadier battalion is hidden in this Gongji Ridge in a roundabout way. Commander Wen, you lead the Tiangang, Tianli Army and the rest of the garrison to continue southward, but the marching speed should not be too fast. Every time you pass a dangerous place, leave five thousand Soldiers lay in ambush."

Wen Qi was surprised, "Su Shuai, you and Commander Liu just led the Special Regiment, the Flying Regiment, and the Grenadier to counterattack Changlin County? Is this too dangerous?"

Su Quandang said: "We just bombarded Changlin, and didn't enter the city. There is nothing dangerous. Even if the Yuan army comes out in pursuit, isn't there still your ambush soldier who can respond?"

Afterwards, he thought for a while, and said: "If our army is in danger, the commander will release a signal flare, and then you can ask the soldiers to come to respond."

That's the only way to be safe.

Although Wen Qi was still a little hesitant, he also knew that it was unnecessary to fight back too many people in Changlin, so he nodded slowly.

Su Quandang and Liu Zaiyuan led the Tiangang Army and Tianli Army to continue southward.

Wen started running back to Rooster Ridge.

Soon, many Changde garrison soldiers came out of the forest.

They followed the Tiangang and Tianli armies.

And these really fell into the eyes of the Yuan army scouts behind.

It's just that no one noticed that after Su Quandang and Liu Zaiyuan led the army out of Gongji Ridge, they quietly hid in the deep mountains of Gongji Ridge with a few troops.

The Tiangang Army Special Regiment "Sharp Sword", the Tianli Army Special Regiment "Breaking the Enemy", and the grenadier battalion and Feitian regiment in the two armies total nearly 5000 people.

Among them, there are thousands of swordsmen and enemy breakers, and there is a separate grenadier battalion in the army, each carrying twenty grenadiers.There is also Feitian Camp, with [-] hot air balloons.

There are 200 conventional grenadier battalions, each carrying a hundred grenadiers.

The Feitian regiment also has a thousand members and two hundred hot air balloons.

Of course, many of the ordnance were added later by Zhao Dongting.The firearms of the current imperial army are much more amazing than before.

Although Zhao Dongting didn't want the proliferation of firearms to affect the development of the world, he would not joke about the lives of soldiers.

After arriving in the jungle, these thousands of people hibernate.

Wen Qi led more than 2 soldiers and continued southward as if nothing had happened.

Some of the scouts of the Yuan army ran back to report the news, while others continued to follow the Song army.

until evening.

The rain stopped.

Red clouds suddenly rolled in the sky.

Outside Changlin County, the Yuan army finally stopped hesitating and walked towards Changlin County.

The army transported countless grains and grass.

Behind the horses was a cart with two huge wooden wheels, and on the cart were grains packed in sacks.Each bag is extremely full.

The army spread without end.

And this scene, of course, was also seen by the scouts in the Great Song Army.

After these scouts saw this scene, they quickly ran towards Cock Ridge.Go to Gongji Ridge to find Su Quandang and the others, and report the movements of the Yuan army.

Su Quandang, Liu Zaiyuan and other generals all laughed.

Unexpectedly, the Yuan army would transport all the grain and grass to Changlin County in such a hurry.It seems that although the Yuan army has never attacked the city, they still have some eagerness in their hearts to occupy the garrison.

Ma Fei, the head of the Sword Regiment, was originally the leader of Su Quandang's personal guards, and possessed extraordinary skills.Later, he was taught by Su Quandang, and he also had good achievements in marching and fighting.

At this moment, he said with a smile: "Su Shuai, it seems that your strategy has succeeded."

Su Quandang smiled and said: "Let's not talk too much for now, let's make the Yuan army in Changlin County cry! Haha!"

As he spoke, he himself couldn't help laughing even louder.

Originally, I didn't expect to drive away this Yuan army like this, but now it seems that there is such a possibility.

The Yuan army transported food to the city, if all the food was blown up.No matter how many soldiers they have, they can only retreat.

Night gradually shrouded down.

The originally gloomy sky quickly turned dark.

But there was no fire in Rooster Ridge.

Su Quandang and others led the army to hide in the mountains. Some people shivered from the cold, but they all endured it.This battle is of great importance.

The same is true in many mountains to the south of Gongji Ridge.

The soldiers Wen Qi arranged to ambush would rather endure the cold than light a torch for warmth.

Farther away, the remaining soldiers led by Wen Qi had set up camp.There were torches everywhere in the camp.

Soldiers could be seen standing vaguely under the firelight.

until late at night.

All the soldiers in Rooster Ridge were still staring.

It is impossible to sleep in such a wet and cold night, because it is very easy to catch a cold.Some people are drowsy, but they will always be woken up by the brothers next to them.

"ready to go!"

Su Quandang felt that time was running out, so he stood up suddenly and said.

Liu Zaiyuan, Ma Fei and other generals beside him all stood up, with a little excitement on their faces, they ran away.

Soon, thousands of soldiers trekked across mountains and rivers in such night, heading towards Changlin County.

From beginning to end, they did not appear on the official road.

They didn't appear on the official road until they were less than a mile away from Changlin County and there was no mountain to walk on.

It is not easy to travel in such a thick night.Someone fell off the cliff, but this was unavoidable.

Finally seeing the torches at the head of Changlin County, the faces of all the soldiers were relieved.

It was quiet in the army.

After stopping, Su Quandang ordered to the generals on the side: "Advance 600 meters, let the grenadiers set up the guns! When the guns sound, the flying regiment will launch bombing! Go to the city and bomb!"

The generals will pass on this order.

But at this moment, the Yuan army on the top of the city didn't even know about it.

The grenadiers in the army moved towards the city gate again, and did not stop until about 600 meters away.Then set up a cannon in such a thick night.

This is a technical job.

But fortunately, the grenadiers in the Imperial Army are very familiar with the grenadiers, even in the dark, they can combine the cannons.

A total of 240 projectiles were deployed along the line hundreds of meters outside the east city wall of Changlin County.

This is definitely a cannonball.

Since Zhao Dongting invented the grenadier, there has never been so many grenadiers bombing at the same time.

Behind Su Quandang and others, a total of 440 hot air balloons and more than [-] flying soldiers are also waiting in full force.

They spread the hot air balloons all over the ground, and only wait for the cannon to ignite and take off into the sky.

Finally, a general came down from the front and found Su Quandang, "Shuai Su, the grenadier battalion is ready!"

Su Quandang sneered slightly, and ordered: "Fire!"
