The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 884
As soon as they arrived, Liu Hongyi said before anyone was seated, "The Dali army is coming out of the city again. What do you guys think?"

Everyone is pondering.

A strange look flashed across Zhu Haiwang's eyes, and he said, "Could it be that the Dali army has already arrived at Hengshan Village?"

Of course they knew about this.At the same time, he also knew that Zhang Hongwei, Liu Zhuwen and others were leading an army to Hengshan Village.

At present, the spies of the Song Dynasty's military intelligence department are spread all over the country, and the three armies of Dali have more than [-] soldiers. It seems that the movements of the Song Dynasty cannot be hidden from these spies of the Song Dynasty.

As soon as Zhu Haiwang's words came out, the expressions of everyone in the tent changed slightly.

At present, after all, there are only more than 2 people.They camped outside this Hengshan stronghold for nearly a month, and they couldn't do anything about taking Hengshan stronghold. It was really embarrassing to confront the two Dali armies.

Liu Hongyi pondered and said: "If that's the case, then we have no choice but to retreat. If we resist here, I'm afraid the whole army will be wiped out."

Most of the generals in the tent nodded slightly, which didn't make any sense.

If they only faced the Dali army in Hengshan Village, they wouldn't be like this.But now the Dali army is facing too many.

But at this time, Zhu Hecong suddenly said: "How far are the army commanders Liu Shuai, Zhang Hongwei, and Liu Zhuwen from Hengshan Village?"

Liu Hongyi frowned and said: "Two hours ago, scouts came to deliver the report, and their forbidden army is about two days away from this Hengshan stronghold."

"Two days..."

Zhu Hecong chewed on these two words, "Is it possible for us... to be able to stop the Dali army for two days? Suppose that Dali army also rushed to Hengshan Village?"

Amazing speech.

Because of his words, the expression of the chief general in the tent changed slightly.

Two days doesn't seem like a long time.But if you want to talk about the real fight, it is really too long.

How many soldiers can support two days of fierce battle?
Even if you are tired, you will die of exhaustion.

Liu Hongyi shook his head and said, "Although our army has already set up several lines of defense outside the camp, but...we have to block them for two days..."

Two days is enough for the Dali Army to dispatch troops.Even if the vanguard couldn't capture the Song camp, they would have enough time to bring in another army from the city.

But Zhu Hecong said again: "But if our army retreats, the two armies of Dali will gather in Hengshan Village. Even if Commander Zhang and others arrive, it will not be easy for us to take down Hengshan Village..."

Zhu Haiwang nodded slightly beside him, "If you fight, it must be a hard fight. But, it has to be said that it is an opportunity."

All the generals in the tent were slightly moved.

If they stick to the barracks, and Zhang Hongwei and others fail to lead the army to arrive in time, they will all die in this battle.

And even if Zhang Hongwei and others led the army to arrive, it is still unpredictable what the outcome of this battle will be.

Liu Hongyi glanced at the generals, "If you retreat, there is still time to throw away some baggage. If you defend, it will be a deadly battle. What do you think?"

No one speaks.

Seeing this, Liu Hongyi waved his hands and said, "Since you are unwilling to express your opinion, let's vote!"

He tore open the rice paper on the desk, and handed out sheets to more than a dozen people in the tent, including Hong Wutian, Zhu Haiwang and others, "Whether it's a retreat or a fight, we decide according to the number of votes."

Everyone took the paper, wrote their answers on the paper, and handed it to Liu Hongyi.

Liu Hongyi looked at it, his eyes swept over everyone again, and said in a deep voice: "Prepare to fight to the death!"

Some people write about war, while others write about retreat.But the number of votes for the battle was one more than the one for the refund. Perhaps, this was God's will.

Hearing what Liu Hongyi said, Ran Anguo, Huang Zhijie and the others stopped hesitating and walked out of the tent.

Although not everyone wants to stick to it, the results are now in.Those generals who wanted to retreat before obviously wouldn't say anything.

Military orders are like mountains.

This is the foundation of the Great Song Army.

Soon the barracks was in full swing, and many soldiers got out of the tents and ran to their respective positions.

At the same time, on the west side of the barracks, the army led by Wang Zigan was getting closer and closer to the Song army barracks.

The two armies have scouts to scout each other.

Wang Zigan, who was in the army, heard that the Song army hadn't retreated, and his eyes were quite surprised, and he murmured: "What kind of ability does your Emperor Song have, so that you can make all of you Life and death are out of the question. There are more than 2 soldiers in the area, how long can you hold on?"

Then he suddenly looked towards the north of the official road, his eyes were inexplicable.

When they arrived at Sishi, the Dali army led by Wang Ziqian was close to the place where the Song army camped.The army stretches without end, and there may be tens of thousands more.

The hot air balloons in the sky are also mighty.

Compared with the battles of the Dali Army, although the Song Army's barracks were heavily guarded, it undoubtedly still seemed a bit weak.

Liu Hongyi, Zhu Haiwang and others stood at the gate of the barracks in person, watching the Dali army appearing at the end of the official road with binoculars.

Hong Wutian and others stood beside him.

Only Hong Gui and Zhu Zongyao were seriously injured, and they are still recuperating in Yongzhou City, so they couldn't make it to Hengshan Village.

Seeing the Dali army getting closer, Liu Hongyi suddenly said: "Hai Wang, He Cong, the army only needs to defend the barracks, you two should leave first! Go find Commander Zhang and the others."

Zhu Haiwang laughed lightly when he heard the words, "Thank you, Commander, for your kindness. It's just that He Cong and I are both deputy commanders, how can there be any talk of running away?"

Liu Hongyi said: "You are still young, you have a bright future in the future, and you are Confucian generals, there is really no need to accompany us old guys to fight to the death here. Brother Zhu suffered heavy injuries outside Yongzhou City, and your Zhu family has paid enough. .If any accident happens to you two here again, I will have no face to face the emperor..."

Even Hong Wutian said: "That's right, both of you brothers are not very good at knives and guns, there is really no need to stay here."

Zhu Haiwang just smiled lightly, looked at the increasing number of Dali soldiers, and said: "If we say to leave, most of the people in this army would have a reason to leave. Even if you are Liu Shuai, you still have a wife and children at home." No? Our two brothers asked the emperor to come to Yongzhou to fight. If we leave like this, we will have no face to see the emperor again. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. We have also heard the emperor talk about Liu Shuai. During the Battle of Naozhou, it was a righteous act of resolutely leading the crowd to defect. At that time, in terms of military strength, the Leizhou Zhizhou Geli Army and the Yuan Army Zhang Hongfan and others had the upper hand. Liu Shuai, you know that you can't do it, isn't it because of it?"

Liu Hongyi was slightly silent when he heard the words.

yes……

Before the military affairs, how can there be so many loves between children to talk about.If everyone only cared about Xiao's family, then no one in Song Dynasty would join the army.

The emperor governs the country well, how many people can still have enough food at home now?

He stopped persuading, just sighed softly: "Since you want to stay, then keep it..."

Brothers Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong laughed lightly and stopped talking.

But there was a certain air of determination creeping in.

About two quarters of an hour later, the Dali army arrived at the foot of the hillside.Tens of thousands of troops formed countless phalanxes, densely packed, and the military flags spread.

The murderous spirit almost soared into the sky.

Compared with the last time he hurried out of the city, Wang Zigan's preparations this time are undoubtedly better.Large-scale equipment such as artillery carts and ballistas can be seen in the army.

At this moment, less than two hundred hot air balloons in the Song army camp were slowly rising into the sky.

"Prepare for battle!"

"Prepare for battle!"

Such voices resounded everywhere in the barracks.

Although there are thunder formations buried under the hillside, those thunder formations are obviously unable to resist so many Dali troops.And the effect will definitely not be too good.

After the Dali army stopped at the foot of the hillside for a while, suddenly some ragged civilians walked out of the army formation and walked up the hillside.

This made Liu Hongyi suddenly angry, "These bastards!"

He really never thought that the Dali army would use the people in the city to fight thunder formations.

There are only weeds on the hillside, and there is no hiding place, which makes the mines they bury can only be thunderstorms.If these people step on it, they will explode immediately.

Not long after, there was an explosion at the foot of the mountain.

When the two countries are at war, the most pitiful is not the soldiers, but the people.

Zhu Haiwang and the others all had faces full of anger and gritted their teeth.But at this moment, there was nothing he could do.

Looking at the bursts of smoke rising from the hillside, he hated the Dali army even more.

The people who were driven to the hillside cried and cried.

Someone watched the person next to him being blown to pieces, almost mad, and ran down the mountain crying.

But when they ran down the mountain, what they faced was the butcher's knife of the Dali army.

Those great talents who came out of Guigu Academy seemed to be cold-blooded like Qin Han.

Perhaps this is because, in their eyes, the lives of some common people are far less important than Huang Tu's hegemony.
