Chapter 1279 God Helps the Song Dynasty (1)

Huang Liangce sat next to him, silent.

He had just followed the army personally and wanted to climb to the top of the city by relying on force, but he had to retreat under the bombing of the grenade launcher. Compared with Yelu Zhu, he realized the power of the grenade launcher more clearly.

There were more than a hundred grenade launchers on the top of Jiangling Mansion City, and even he couldn't help but feel a little numb when he thought about it.

Lu Wenhuan sat at the top of the left head and whispered: "Prime Minister, it is not easy for us to break Jiangling Mansion now, so why not let's go and take Dangyang?"

Yelu Zhu just snorted slightly, "I dare to ask General Lu, what's the use of taking down Dangyang?"

He slapped the wine glass on the table, "Not to mention that the Song army in Dangyang County must have grenade launchers. Our army will have to pay a considerable price to defeat Dangyang. Even if we take Dangyang, it will be of no significance to the entire battle situation. You and I know that the new Song army retreated in Kuizhou. The Yuan army of the Song State must be rushing towards Jiangling Prefecture. If our army won the Jiangling Prefecture as soon as possible, we will have to be driven out by them when the Song army arrives and take Dangyang?"

"this……"

Lu Wenhuan is a little exhausted.

He didn't want to take Jiangling Mansion because he really couldn't see hope. If he took Dangyang, he would still have a chance to deal with the Song army.

Yelu Zhu said again: "We must take down Jiangling Prefecture before the Song and Yuan troops arrived and defend Jiangling, so that the troops in the west have the opportunity to enter the heartland of the Song Dynasty!"

As he said that, he suddenly looked at Lu Wenhuan with a faint look and said, "In the future, General Lu should not say anything like Dangyang, so as not to disrupt the morale of the army."

Lu Wenhuan was slightly stunned, sighed softly in his heart, but had to nod and bow, "Yes."

Although Yelu Zhu was nominally just a military supervisor, he was actually an imperial envoy sent by Kublai Khan. He represented Kublai Khan's meaning, and Lu Wenhuan could not stand stalemate with him.

Lu Wenhuan glanced at the tent, and not many of his confidants were considered to be his confidants.

Over the years, although some generals who surrendered in Xiangyang with him have been promoted, most of them have been transferred to other places.

Although he led tens of thousands of troops to attack Song this time, in fact, this army was not surnamed Lu.

Seeing that his close generals were still looking at him, Lu Wenhuan had to say again: "What will the Prime Minister plan to fight next?"

Yelu Zhu was silent for a while, his eyes gradually became deeper. Finally, he looked at Lu Wenhuan deeply and said, "I want General Lu, you pretend to join Song."

"Um?"

Lu Wenhuan's brows suddenly froze.

Yelu Zhu just chuckled and said, "General Lu was guarding Xiangyang for several years, but he was regarded as a god general by the people of Song. I think now, the soldiers and civilians of Song still remember your courage and loyalty to defend Xiangyang. You later surrendered to my Dayuan, and you were helpless. If you led your army to surrender to Song at this time, would you believe the Song army trust you? Will you open the city gate for you?"

Lu Wenhuan pondered and said, "Prime Minister, it's not that I, Lu Wenhuan, don't want to. But, when I join the Song Dynasty, the Song army is afraid that there is something strange about it?"

"hehe!"

Yelu Zhu said: "If there is something strange, they will do it so that they can't see that something strange is."

He glanced at the generals in the account, some of whom were Lu Wenhuan's confidants, and said, "If General Lu leads your army to mutiny in the camp, and then leads the defeated army to hurried out of the camp to surrender, do you think the Song army will think there is something strange here?"

"The defeated army?"

Lu Wenhuan said: "What the Prime Minister means is to let us pretend to be mutiny and fight in the camp?"

“That’s right!”

Yelu Zhu emphasized the key point, "I will let the two generals Chaolu and Huhelu lead their troops out of the camp with you and go to the city to surrender to the Song army!"

Lu Wenhuan was stunned for a long time, and his heart was cold, but he finally nodded, "I follow the Prime Minister's order."

Yelu Zhu did not allow him to lead his troops to Jiangling Mansion, which was obviously just to beware of his false acts. His army and horses remained in the camp, but the two Mongolian generals Chaolu and Huhelu followed him to Jiangling Mansion to surrender. At that time, the Song army really wanted to accept them into the city, and even if he really wanted to surrender to the Song Dynasty again, he could not command the soldiers at all.

"good."

When Yelu Zhu saw Lu Wenhuan agreeing, he laughed loudly, "Then General Lu and Chaolu, Huhelu, you can go and prepare!"

Lu Wenhuan stood up and followed the two Mongolian generals Chaolu, Huhelu, and walked out of the tent.

Outside the tent, Chaolu, Huhelu and others rode directly to the camping place of their headquarters to gather soldiers.

Lu Wenhuan walked back into his tent in a daze.

In the commander's tent, Yelu Zhu asked several generals to come out and prepare for each of them.

Chaolu, Hu and Lu wanted to pretend to be mutiny, and this naturally requires the cooperation of the remaining troops in the military camp. In the end, it must be done.

Otherwise, even in the name of Lu Wenhuan, it would be not that easy to deceive the Song army.

The picture returns to Jiumao Pass on the south side of Jinghu North Road.

Zhao Dongting led Shi Kangsheng, Gu Junying, Yin Yongning and others to a total of nearly 8,000 imperial guards locating on the top of Jiumao Pass.

There were less than four hundred soldiers guarding the two thousand surrendered soldiers in the pass.

It was about two quarters of an hour before they drove the Dali army out of the pass. Outside the pass, the Yuan army finally arrived in front of the pass. The yellow dust rolled like a dragon.

There are hundreds of hot air balloons in the sky, and they have already been exposed in the sky.

The Dali Army on the ground must be nearly 30,000. Moreover, from the distance of the official road, there is also yellow dust that can be seen faintly.

Obviously, the Dali troops who were killed out of seclusion had run back.

This will make the number of soldiers of the Dali Army reach a terrible level.

At this moment, even though Zhao Dongting had a place beside him, Qi Wulie had nearly 8,000 imperial guards, and his face was very serious.

He was hesitating whether to lead his army to defend the Jiumao Pass, or to retreat first and then make plans.

The ground troops are still fine. It is not easy for the ground troops to break through the pass these days. What is really deadly is the hundreds of hot air balloons in the air.

Even the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty would never withstand the bombardment of so many hot air balloons when guarding the city.

"Have the scout returned?"

Zhao Dongting turned his head and asked Yang Kanglong next to him. I don’t know how many times he asked.

Yang Kanglong and others all guessed that Zhang Jue should lead the army to Jiumao Pass at this time, but at this moment, he did not see the army.

Yang Kanglong bowed and said, "Go back to the emperor, I haven't come back yet."

Zhao Dongting's eyebrows slightly condensed and said, "It seems that even if Deputy Zhang Junji Ling comes, he is still a distance from this Jiumao Pass."
