Chapter 44: Dark Clouds Overcome the City
The ministers also knew that they were silent for a while.
More than ten seconds later, Yue Peng went out and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go! I swear to attract the Yuan army to Hulugou to the death!"
Hulugou is a ground on the island of Benzhou, which is a canyon. The valley is covered with weeds several feet high, and there are towering mountains on both sides.
After everyone's discussion, Hulugou is one of the most suitable places for mine burying. Therefore, there are countless mines buried in Hulugou.
Zhao Dongting looked at Yue Peng and felt reluctant. The one he liked the most was Yue Peng.
But he knew that it was also an opportunity for Yue Peng at the moment. Although he was a business officer of the guards and infantry, he had no achievements and was inevitably criticized.
Yue Peng must take this risk.
Just as he was about to speak, Su Quandang also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the last general is willing to go there too! He led all the troops and horses to attract the Yuan army to Huanglongling."
Huanglongling is a newly named place name after Zhao Dongting promoted Benzhou Island to Xianglong County. It was near the beach where Xiaojin was discovered. Huanglongling is not high, but it is covered with gravel and lush trees are used for concealment. Zhao Dongting sent people to lay countless rakes there. As long as the Yuan army arrived, those mines would probably make the entire Huanglongling shake in an instant.
"good!"
Zhao Dongting quickly walked to Yue Peng and Su Quandang, "I just wait for the Yuan army to be destroyed, I will remember the first merit for you two!"
He couldn't bear to let his children get trapped and didn't look for a wolf. He knew that this was not the time for women to be kind. Yue Peng was brave and Su Quandang was wise, so the two might not die.
Immediately, Zhao Dongting ordered.
"Yue Peng, Su Quandang obeys the order!"
"The last one will be here!"
"I give each of you five thousand elite soldiers, fight and retreat, and I will lead the Yuan army to Hulugou and Huanglongling!"
"The last general will receive the order!"
"Zhang Shijie, obey the orders of Donghe!"
"I am here! The last one is here!"
"You two lead 4,000 troops to guard the palace! You must not let the Yuan army step into the palace!"
"My dear general, I will take the order!"
They are the chief officers and deputy officials in charge of the Palace Front Office. Zhang Shijie is experienced and good at defending the city in Dongheli, so he is considered the best partner.
"Zhang Shijie obeys the order!"
"I'm here!"
"You are in the center to command the entire army!"
Zhang Shijie was stunned when he heard this, "Where are you, Your Majesty?"
Zhao Dongting said: "I am not good at fighting, just wait and see."
Zhang Shijie was a little admiring and nodding. He naturally didn't know that Zhao Dongting had other plans in his mind.
Yue Peng and Su Quandang may not be able to attract the Yuan army, but his emperor can definitely make Zhang Hongfan play hares.
Zhao Dongting did not give any instructions for the rest of the details, so he asked the ministers and generals to prepare.
He is a human, not a god, and it is impossible for him to mobilize more than 20,000 soldiers on the entire Benzhou Island as an arm instructed. What he can do is to deploy the general idea of war. As for when the Yuan army attacks, when to advance, when to retreat, when to Lare, and when to fight to the death, in addition to Zhang Shijie's central command, the commanders must adapt to the situation.
