247. Boyan's Worry
Xinyi.
Zhao Dongting has received the best news from Su Quandang.
Qin Han and Dongheli, Zhao and Luo gathered in Zhao Dongting's room. At this time, Dongheli and Zhao and Luo were both happy.
Although the 20,000 army was nothing compared to the entire Yuan army, this was the first battle and the Song army undoubtedly showed momentum.
The Yuan army's vanguard general Kong Yuan died, and almost all 20,000 vanguard troops were destroyed, and their spirits were greatly destroyed.
However, after Zhao Dongting saw Su Quandang erecting a tombstone for Kong Yuan in the letter, he still fired a cannon for him for ten times, and he couldn't help but laugh and scold, "This Su Quandang is too inefficient in shells."
The Song Dynasty now had more than 20,000 grenade launchers, which was good, but it seemed to be too many, but in fact it could not withstand such consumption.
Su Quandang used nearly a thousand shells in this battle. And only two thousand shells distributed to the Tiangang Army were only two thousand.
Several people looked at the letter and read it again and said to Dongheli: "General Su won a great victory in this battle, and Boyan should be so angry that he vomited blood."
Qin Han didn't look much joy on his face and pondered: "You will definitely be angry, but if he rushes his troops to kill Cen Xi, how should we resist?"
Kong Yuan was dead, but Boyan still had a total of 130,000 troops in Duanxi.
If he was really angry, he would have sent Cen Xi directly, Su Quandang would be unable to resist it. Even if Zhang Hongwei was afraid, it would not work.
The joy on Zhao and Luo and Donghe's faces gradually faded and became serious again.
It turned out that Boyan sent Kong Yuan to lead 20,000 troops outside Cenxi County to restrain Su Quandang, and then waited for Yesuer's army to arrive and then launched an attack on Wuzhou or other cities. If their army gathered, they could rely on the advantage of the number of people to quickly capture the city and capture the village. But at present, Kong Yuan's entire army was wiped out, and it is hard to say whether Boyan would continue to send soldiers to restrain Cenxi, or the army would directly attack Cenxi.
The Yuan army was powerful, which made them take the absolute initiative and have a lot of choices.
Zhao Dongting said slowly: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."
As he said that, he looked at Qin Han and said, "If we also rushed to Cenxi, what consequences might we face?"
Qin Han frowned slightly and said, "If Tiangang, Tianji, Tianxian's three armies were stationed in Cenxi, Wuzhou would have no worries for a short time, but Tiangang's three armies might not be able to come out of Cenxi again alive. Let's rush over, it may be that we will kill ourselves."
"Yesuer should still need some time to rush to the battlefield, right?" Zhao Dongting said.
Qin Han was slightly surprised, "What does the emperor mean?"
Zhao Dongting said: "The Yuan army has many troops and horses. Our army is passively guarding and will never get rid of the passive situation. After all, any city that is surrounded may be dead."
"emperor……"
Dongheli hesitated and said, "It would be better than we guard Wuzhou City, which is towering and surrounded by mountains. It is much easier to guard than Cenxi."
Zhao Dongting shook his head slightly.
Qin Hanze said: "It seems good to join Wuzhou in the army, but what if the Yuan army cut off our army's food and grass supply line?"
Donghe was stunned.
Yes, Zhao Dongting is unwilling to abandon the defensive circle formed by cities such as Cenxi and Gaozhou. Isn’t it just for logistics supply to be smooth and unhindered?
If all the troops of the Song Dynasty were stationed in Wuzhou, even if the Yuan army had more than 400,000, it would definitely be difficult to capture it. However, the Yuan army could completely cut off all the supply lines of the Song army and turn Wuzhou into an isolated city. At that time, the Song army in Wuzhou City would have to wait to die. Moreover, the Song Dynasty still had Leizhou to take into account.
Zhao Dongting cannot be trapped in any city.
He frowned deeply and said, "No matter what Boyan plans, let's go to the vicinity of Cenxi first. Cenxi cannot be missed."
Cenxi is gone, and the supply line of the Song army is in danger of being cut off. Moreover, Zhao Dongting cannot watch Su Quandang and Zhang Hongwei trapped Cenxi to death, and the Song Dynasty cannot withstand such losses.
Qin Han said: "Does the emperor plan to bring all the soldiers on the east side to guard Cen Xi to the death? Or do you want to fight with Boyan?"
If it were someone else, he would definitely not go out of the city to fight Boyan. But Zhao Dongting and Qin Han felt that he might really have the courage.
Looking at Zhao Dongting’s administration, how many things have not been unexpected?
He dared to let Su Quandang lead his army to attack Kong Yuan, so he might not have the courage to lead his army out of the city to attack Boyan. Of course, the premise is that Boyan will lead his troops to Cenxi.
When Zhao Yuluo heard this, he immediately said, "Well, I will send a letter to Fei Ge, and let Huang Zhijie and Ran Anguo lead their troops to Xinyi?"
Zhao Dongting shook his head, "No, the Qiongzhou army still holds its troops. I lead the Tianxian army to Cenxi."
Zhao Yuluo was surprised, "Emperor, Tianxian Army, Tiangang Army, and Tianji Army have a total of less than 30,000 soldiers. How can they block Boyan?"
Zhao Dongting said: "But if the troops in Qiongzhou move, the defense line to the east will be completely gone."
He needed to keep the Qiongzhou army guarding the eastern defense line to prevent the Yuan army from going around the rear and breaking the supply line, and also echoing Leizhou.
After all, the Song Dynasty was short of military strength, and there was nothing we could do about it.
Zhao and Luo remained silent.
Zhao Dongting stopped hesitating and looked at Dongheli and said, "Sir Donghe, please send orders here. The army will set off tomorrow morning!"
Dongheli took the order and left.
Zhao Dongting also had a little helpless face and sighed softly in his heart. The feeling of being led by the Yuan army was not very good.
Qin Han said, "Master, if we can't stop Boyan, then will this battle be lost?"
Zhao Dongting said, "Are you still there? Qin Han, it's time for you to show your skills now. I don't want to be tired of running around anymore."
Qin Han didn't say anything.
The next day.
Zhao Dongting led the Tianxian Army and the remaining 400 Feilong soldiers and the Wudingtang worshippers. He set out from Xinyi and rushed to Cenxi.
Zhao and Luo led 5,000 Qiongzhou soldiers to stay in Xinyi.
Guangnan East Road, Duanxi City, Deqing Prefecture.
The soldiers fled from the battlefield in Kong Yuan's army and the Green Forest Camp entourage finally rushed back to Duanxi.
After entering the city, they headed straight to the government office.
When Boyan learned that Kong Yuan's army was destroyed, he was extremely surprised and then he was so angry that he threw the teapot in his hand heavily to the ground.
The value is extremely high. The black-glazed teapot, which was originally a royal tribute used by the royal family of the Song Dynasty, was immediately smashed to pieces.
In his forties, Boyan, who was in his prime, was so angry that his chest was fluctuating violently.
He really didn't expect that Kong Yuan's 20,000 army would be wiped out by the mere Tiangang Army.
He knew that Kong Yuan's ability was defeated so much that it only showed that the Song army was extremely strong. The Song army now is no longer the Song army of the past.
After hearing the envoys reported the powerful grenade launchers and thunderbolt chariots and other firearms of the Song army, Boyan gradually fell silent.
From the worshippers, he could hear that Kong Yuan would be defeated entirely because of the Song army's firearms.
He murmured in his heart, "The court finally developed the Song army's thunder, but are they still thrown away now?"
The Yuan Dynasty attached enough importance to the thunder that played a huge role in the Song army on the island of Benzhou and Guangnan West Road. After Ali Hague sent someone to send the thunder to Dadu, the Emperor Kublai Khan immediately gathered skilled craftsmen in the court for research. After several months, he finally developed the thunder with great power and dispatched it to the army. He thought of it as a surprise that the Song army would also taste the power of the thunder. Unexpectedly, the Song army did not use the more powerful thunder, but used more powerful firearms.
After hearing these confessions' descriptions of the Pili Car, Boyan could probably think of what the Pili Car was.
The thunder cannon is just a firecracker-like thunder, and they can also make it.
But what exactly is the more powerful thing called grenade launcher of the Song army?
There is also the Shenlong gun, how can it be so powerful than the musket?
The Yuan Dynasty tried every means to infiltrate the Song Dynasty's Military Industry Department and Military Science Department to steal the secrets of Song's military weapons, but unfortunately they were not successful. Until now, even Boyan, the Grand Marshal of the Song Dynasty, had never seen what the grenade launcher looked like, let alone how the grenade launcher was made.
He focused for a long time before shouting, "Let the generals come over to discuss matters."
The guards outside the door took the order and ran away quickly.
Boyan waved his hand and asked the entourages of the Green Forest Camp kneeling in front to go down, sitting on the chair and becoming stunned.
He suddenly felt like he was doing his best but could not catch up with the advanced level of Song's arms no matter what.
You can learn the Pili chariot, but at that time, will the Song army come up with any new firearm?
Boyan cursed in his heart.
Since the young emperor of the Song Dynasty took office, why has the war now been completely different from before?
