Chapter 200: The Conspiracy of Dongting

Chapter 200 Dongting’s plan

The scout said: "The Song army has been stretched for more than ten miles and has accelerated its marching speed, as if it is about to attack our army."

"snort!"

Ali Hague snorted heavily and ordered the left and right deputy generals: "Lead the army into the city and stop the Song army!"

He didn't want to run away, nor could he run away.

It took a lot of time to leave Lipu County and want to march to the county town below. His military rations could not be held back at all, and his morale could not be held back at all.

Only here will he die with the Song army and wait for the Guangdong Yuan army, Ali Hague may still have hope of turning the tables.

The deputy generals hurriedly took the order and left.

Soon, the Yuan army entered the city in a mighty manner and hurriedly prepared for defense.

Ali Hague stood at the top of the city, looking at the noisy dust in the distance with a fierce look on his face. He really didn't expect that his more than 200,000 troops stationed in Guangxi would be forced to such a situation by the Song army in a short time.

The Song army formation outside the city, five large flags fluttered in the front, the Jing army in front of the hall, the guards' personal army, the Xingguo army, the God Beggar army, and Zhao Dongting's dragon flag.

Behind them were endless army and various black and gold-inlaid flags. Zhao Dongting's chariot was in charge of the central army, and the flying dragon soldiers protected him.

When Ali Hague heard the news of the Song army, Zhao Dongting also learned from the scout that the Yuan army had entered the city.

This made him frown and sigh, "Hurry up, I didn't expect it to be slower..."

If he was asked to choose, he would naturally be willing to fight against the Yuan army in the field. Although the Yuan army was large, it was tired and had a low morale and would inevitably be defeated.

Now that the Yuan army has entered the city, if they want to defeat them, they will have to break the city, which will undoubtedly be much more troublesome.

Zhao Dongting sat in the carriage and began to meditate alone.

Only when the sun sets west did the army reach outside Lipu City.

Su Quandang, Wen Tianxiang and others stopped the army and horses, then ran towards Zhao Dongting's chariot.

Naturally, they had already received news that the Yuan army had entered the city. At present, the gate of Lipu County was closed, and countless Yuan soldiers in the city were not easy to break the city.

Wen Tianxiang and the others felt sorry for him. If the march was faster, they could drag the Yuan army outside the city.

However, it is now a foregone conclusion, and they can only report to Zhao Dongting and then discuss it.

The generals arrived in front of Zhao Dongting's chariot one after another. Zhao Dongting heard the sound of horse hooves and walked out of the chariot.

Yue Peng said hurriedly: "Emperor, the Yuan army has entered Lipu County, what should we do?"

He had no good ideas in his mind, so he asked in a hurry, thinking that Zhao Dongting had any good ideas.

Although Zhao Dongting was young and was an emperor, in the eyes of Wen Tianxiang, Yue Peng, Su Quandang and others, he was not just as simple as governing the country. Regardless of the previous Battle of Benzhou, just take the attack on Pingnan and defending Pingnan in Guangxi as an example, Qin Han did not give any advice. He followed Zhao Dongting's method to attack the Jiesul camp and the authentic plan of fireworks Ali Hague, and successively achieved great victory.

They were also very impressed by Zhao Dongting's military strategy. The emperor's thinking was wild and often unexpected, and it was not comparable to them.

Zhao Dongting glanced at Wen Tianxiang and others, and found that they were all looking at him with a slight movement in his heart.

During the journey to Lipu County, he naturally had thought about how to break the city, but he was unwilling to all these generals to become wooden people who were unwilling to use their brains and could only act according to orders. If so, how could he rely on them to defeat the Yuan army in the future?

Zhao Dongting never thought that he would always follow the army to fight. He was the emperor, not a general. He could do it occasionally.

At that moment, he asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

Yue Peng and Dongheli were waiting for you to look at me, and I looked at you, and they all frowned.

Their thinking has almost solidified. There is no proper way to attack Lipu County, where 60,000 people from their own side are stationed, but they have to attack 80,000 or 90,000 troops.

After a while, Yue Peng said, "Emperor, why don't we use the Dragon Cannon to bombard Lipu County?"

When they were in Hanjin County before, they used this method to force the city to break through, drag Yuan to force ebony out of the city to kill. Now, when they think about it, Yue Peng still feels comfortable. Such an unscrupulous way to break the city is really majestic!

Zhao Dongting curled his lips and asked Zhao Da, Zhao Hu, "How many dragon shells are there in the army?"

Zhao Da scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "There are less than ten shots left. They were all used up when Pingnan County was breaking the city to resist the Yuan army."

"Why don't you know how to save some money?"

Yue Peng [Novels of Unknown] almost jumped.

Zhao Da said aggrievedly: "At that time, the Yuan army was coming in full force, weren't we afraid that they would break the city!"

Wen Tianxiang and others smiled bitterly when they heard this. It is true that Zhao Da and Zhao Hu could not be blamed for this matter. When the Yuan army attacked the city in a mighty way, the scene was indeed scary.

The generals began to ponder again.

After a while, Su Quandang hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, why don't we use the same methods to cure others? Ali Hague sent experts to attack our Pingnan County at night. Can we send experts to attack the county town of Lipu County at night? As long as we can break the city gate and with the rainbow momentum of our army, we can still defeat the Yuan army."

Zhao Dongting didn't say anything, so he didn't comment.

Dongheli said: "But so, even if our army breaks the city, the losses will be great."

Su Quandang frowned slightly and said, "Then our army will siege and not attack? The Yuan army lacks food and grass, just wait for the food to be cut off, and they will definitely run out of the city by themselves."

"No, the Yuan army has no food, so they will definitely entrust troops to grab food. At that time, it will only make the people in the city suffer." Wen Tianxiang sighed beside him.

Su Quandang stopped talking.

Yue Peng was so angry that he stomped his feet, "It's not possible to attack or siege. Can we withdraw our troops?"

Wen Tianxiang looked at Zhao Dongting with a smile and bowed, "I believe that the emperor is calm and calm, there should be a good idea in his heart, right?"

When Zhao Dongting saw them around, he looked at him again, and was amused and crying. He shook his head and sighed: "Apart from Yue Peng, you are all familiar with military books, but your thinking should not be completely confined to what is said in military books."

Yue Peng was regarded as a typical example, with a embarrassed face, and Su Quandang and others couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Dongting said again: "It is the best way to defeat the enemy without fighting. Although there are many Yuan troops, we may not be able to separate them."

When all the generals heard this, their eyes were filled with light.

Wen Tianxiang said: "The Yuan soldiers are in panic at the moment. What the emperor means is to send someone to persuade them to surrender?"

"No."
