The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 960 Situation in Northern Xinjiang ([-])

After that, he sat down on the ground and began to chant Buddhist scriptures.

Around the Yongquan Temple monks also sat down, all clasped their hands together, and slightly closed their eyes.

The monks in the temple recite Buddhist scriptures together.

In an instant, the Sanskrit sound lingered in my ears.

The soldiers outside the temple shouted loudly, felled trees with all their strength, and sweated profusely.

At this moment, it seemed that no one took the raging fire seriously.Everyone is united, all they have to do is stick to this Yongquan Temple.

At this time, the northern border of the Great Song Dynasty was also unstable.

In Jianning Mansion, Wen Tianxiang led the three armies of Tiansu, Tianyi, and Tiansha, as well as the defenders of Jianning Mansion to guard the city.

On the top of the city, military flags spread, and battle armor stood everywhere.The artillery carts and other things all popped out of the wall.

Outside the city, several miles away from the city, it can be seen that the tents of the Yuan army are densely packed.

Their military tents directly surrounded the entire Jianning Mansion, and at this time there was smoke rising from the camp.

Since yesterday, the Yuan troops entrenched in Songxi and Zhenghe counties have all come towards Jianning Mansion.

After arriving outside the city, they just set up camp, but did not launch an attack on Jianning Mansion, but sent some scouts to roam outside the city.The intention is obvious, it is to prevent Wen Tianxiang and others from sending troops to aid Fuzhou.

In fact, they didn't need this, because even if they didn't come to besiege the city, Wen Tianxiang wouldn't dare to send too many soldiers to Fuzhou to help.After all, this Jianning mansion still needs to be guarded.

The commander of this Yuan army is like this, obviously he doesn't even want to release a single soldier from the city.

"These primordial thieves want to completely restrain us..."

Wen Tianxiang stood at the top of the city, looking out of the city, with a slightly worried expression on his face.

Beside him, Chen Diaoyan, He Chenghua and other generals were also somewhat dignified.

They didn't want to be afraid of the Yuan army outside the city attacking the city, but they were really powerless to help Fuzhou only if the Yuan army besieged the city.

Fuzhou can only rely on the Fuzhou garrison and the garrison to defend themselves.But the vitality lies in whether Huang Hua and others can persist until the Guangnan East Road garrison arrives.

Chen Diaoyan sighed suddenly, and said to Wen Tianxiang: "Military order, shall we just wait like this?"

Wen Tianxiang turned his head to look at him, "Do you still want to lead the army out of the city to defeat these Yuan troops?"

They have been discussing this matter for some time.It's just that there is no result.

Chen Diaoyan said: "If we don't go out of the city to fight these Yuan troops, I'm afraid Fuzhou really won't be able to defend it! Compared with us, the commanders of Longxing Mansion are far beyond our reach."

"I know that."

Wen Tianxiang shook his head lightly and said, "But the Yuan army has more than [-] people besieging the city, and they have no intention of fighting with our army. How can we easily destroy them?"

It has been many days since they wanted to take the initiative to fight these Yuan troops, but the Yuan army just couldn't hold out.So until now, the two sides are still in a state of confrontation.

Chen Diao narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "If you lead an army to attack their camp, can they avoid the battle?"

Wen Tianxiang frowned, "The big camp is easier to capture than the city, but what I'm worried about is that they are fully prepared in the camp! When the time comes, the soldiers are afraid..."

Chen Diaoyan cupped his hands and said: "If the military plan orders the general to hit the bombs and the sky cannons, then send some to the junior general, and the latter general is willing to lead his troops out of the city to test the reality of the Yuan army."

He looked outside the city and murmured: "Military order, it is difficult for these Yuan troops to leave the city. Although the army is gathered now, it is also a rare opportunity for us..."

"Not to be missed……"

Wen Tianxiang's eyes gradually became deep, and he was chanting this sentence in his heart.

After tens of seconds, he finally made up his mind, and said to Chen Diaoyan: "Okay, then I will dispatch the grenadier and sky cannon from Tianyi Army to you. You lead the army to raid Yuanying!"

"Thank you Marshal!"

Chen Diaoyan quickly agreed, with a little excitement on his face.

He is not a steady player, but Wen Tianxiang is.It was rare that Wen Tianxiang agreed to his request.

Only Wen Tianxiang said again: "However, no matter whether the raid on the Yuan camp is successful or not, you must bring back the grenades and sky cannons. Such heavy weapons must not fall into the hands of the Yuan army."

"it is good!"

Chen Diaoyan nodded heavily again, then shouted at the soldiers of the headquarters and went down the city.

Wen Tianxiang did what he said, and sent someone to call Zang Bohou, the commander of the Tianyi Army, and asked General Zang Bohou's grenadier and sky gunners to be temporarily seconded to Chen Diaoyan's command to listen to orders.

After hearing Wen Tianxiang's words, the middle-aged Zang Bohou, who was born in the middle age, said: "Military order, will the Wushuang regiment of our army also be sent?"

The Peerless Regiment is a special regiment in the Tianyi Army.

Wen Tianxiang pondered for a while, nodded and said, "That's fine. It's really not easy to defeat those Yuan troops outside the city..."

Zang Bohou also went down to the city.

Longxing Mansion, Jiangnan West Road.

Wen Tianxiang's Tianyou, Tianan, Tiantian armies and Longxing mansion garrison were stationed.

At this time, it has been nearly two months since the Yuan army occupied the frontier of the Song Dynasty, but the Yuan army repeatedly attacked with only a small group of troops, either disturbing the city, or cutting troops to transport food, or raiding the surrounding villages and towns of Longxing Mansion. Start a big fight.And Wang Yinglin, the transshipment envoy of Jiangnan West Road, and the commanders of the three armies were also worried that one move would affect the whole body, so they didn't dare to go out of the city to attack Yuanying.Therefore, the two armies have not had too many battles from beginning to end, nor have they suffered too many losses.

Only today, the Yuan army is marching towards Longxing Mansion in mighty tens of thousands.

In the mountains outside Longxing Mansion, there is smoke rising to the sky.

Wang Yinglin, Ma Xiu, the commander of the Tianan Army, Huang Fu, the commander of the Tianyou Army, and Lu Guang, the commander of the Sky Air Force, all went to the top of the city.

From the magnificence of the wolf smoke, it can be seen that the Yuan army's move is a large-scale invasion.

Ma Xiu and Lu Guang are both lieutenant generals of Yuan Toutuo's army, and Huang Fu is Huang Hua's younger brother.He used to serve as the deputy commander in the Thutuo Army.

Going up to the top of the city, Huang Fu looked at the smoke outside the city, and said to Wang Yinglin: "Master Wang, it seems that this Yuan army is about to break through the border of our Great Song Dynasty."

"Ah."

Wang Yinglin nodded lightly, and said: "There have been reports from Jiangling Mansion, Ezhou, and Jianning Mansion that Yuan armies from all over the place are ready to move. They are about to launch a decisive battle."

Huang Fu narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems that the assassination of Commander Liu Zaiyuan has made them very confident now."

Wang Yinglin only said: "Regardless of whether General Liu Zaiyuan is assassinated or not, this day will come sooner or later. This is not necessarily a bad thing for us. The emperor also wants to end the war as soon as possible. We are short of soldiers. If the Yuan army does not Come to take the initiative to attack the city, our Longxing Mansion and the Ezhou garrison on the Jinghu North Road are in a bit of a dilemma."

Before, the Yuan army only lived in the territory of Jiangnan East Road.There, it is still the territory of the Yuan Dynasty.

Huang Fu said: "Then we will stick to this Longxing mansion, let's see how these Yuan troops can take this city."

On the side, Lu Guang suddenly said, "Not only do we have to defend, in my opinion, we also have to create opportunities to get out of the city and kill these Yuan troops!"

Ma Xiu also nodded slightly.

There is still a long distance between here and Fuzhou, so they don't have to think about helping Fuzhou.All you need to do is to defeat this Yuan army of tens of thousands.

further east.

Ezhou, a border city in the northern border of Jinghu North Road.

There are three forbidden troops led by He Fangsong, Jin Hao, and Jiang Xiu, Tianying, Tianfu, and Tianman respectively.The situation is actually similar to Longxing Mansion.

It's just that the Yuan army they faced invaded the country from Huainan West Road. As soon as they entered the Song Dynasty, they went straight to Ezhou City.

The number of soldiers is much larger than that of Longxing Mansion, and there must be more than [-] soldiers.

In the past two months, He Fangsong and others did not fight this Yuan army.The Yuan army was in Huainan West Road, and they guarded Ezhou City, and it seemed that they were in peace.

But in fact, since the Yuan army intends to invade the Song Dynasty and has already stationed in the frontier, the undercurrent is inevitable.

Both sides sent masters to assassinate.

Let's take Jin Hao, Jiang Xiu and others as an example. In the past two months, they have already encountered dozens of assassinations.

Assassination only pays attention to surprise, the further back, the more difficult it is to make meritorious deeds.Both sides continued to assassinate, and few generals fell.

He Fangsong, Jin Hao, Jiang Xiu and the generals under his command gathered around to discuss while watching the Yuan army press down on the city from the top of the city, and they didn't have the idea of ​​leading the army out of the city for a bloody battle.

They seemed to be in no hurry at this time.

They can't control the affairs of Fuzhou.Kuizhou and Guangnan West Road have won one after another. They only need to keep this Yuan army out of Ezhou City.

Now it is no longer the situation where the Great Song Forbidden Army is eager for a decisive battle.

It is even said that they are willing to continue to delay.

Because of the delay, the emperor must send Yuan troops to come from Jinghu North Road and Kuizhou Road.On the contrary, it will be much easier to break these Yuan armies.

Ever since, the Song army in the two cities of Ezhou and Longxingfu was only actively preparing for the battle and defending the city.Unlike the Jianning Mansion where Wen Tianxiang sits, there is some urgency to defeat the Yuan army.
