315. The decisive battle in Guangxi (1)
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yulin said: "Emperor, Caomin dared to ask the emperor to send troops out of the city to help our Beggars' Gang disciples."
Although He Le Wuxuan had just met again and knew that Le Wuxuan must have a lot to ask him, it is obviously not the time to reminisce about the past.
Although Xiao Yulin also wanted to meet his fiancée, he still knew the importance. In front of the emperor, he felt that it was not advisable to mention the family too much at this time.
Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "When I heard you ask for a meeting outside the government office, I had already asked the military commander to send troops out of the city to pick up the righteous men of your Beggars' Sect. The Beggars' Sect did their best to help me fight against the Yuan Dynasty. How could I put you in danger? Haha, you must have been tired from traveling a long distance, so why did you let Senior Le take you down to rest first? You have a lot of things to say when you meet your father-in-law and son-in-law again."
Xiao Yulin was a little surprised when he heard that he called Le Wuzheng a senior. It seemed that Le Wuzheng had a special status in the Song Dynasty.
He bowed to Zhao Dongting and said, "Your Majesty, the Caomin is not worried about the disciples of the Beggar Gang, so he should go back and meet with the disciples first!"
As he said that, he bowed deeply to Le Wugong, "Uncle, wait for Yulin to lead the disciples of the Beggars' Sect into the city, and come back to reminisce about the old days with Uncle."
Le Wuhuang nodded slightly and smiled, "Your father and I have made a marriage contract for you and Wu'er. From now on, don't call me uncle again."
Xiao Yulin is handsome, quite calm, gentle and elegant, and is also the leader of the Beggars' Sect. This undoubtedly makes Le Wuxuan quite satisfied with him.
Furthermore, he was very confident, even if Xiao Yulin was a fool, he would not have violated the engagement he had made. At this time, he was naturally happy to see Xiao Yulin so outstanding.
Xiao Yulin felt a little embarrassed, but said, "Yulin has met Lord Taishan."
It’s free to have fun, and Zhao Dongting always laughs.
Le Wuchen grabbed Xiao Yulin's hand very close, "Let's go, I will accompany you to meet the Yuan army."
As he said that, he looked at Zhao Dongting.
Zhao Dongting nodded naturally, and the two left.
Not long after, the Song army launched a counterattack, and nearly 40,000 soldiers left the city. Except for more than a thousand people going to the Beggars' Sect and the Yuan cavalry where the Yuan army cavalry fought, the rest of the soldiers heading towards the Yuan army outside the north gate of Xiujiang Town.
Of course, Monto had seen the signs long ago, and some of his subordinates had even asked him whether he would retreat. However, he did not dare to retreat.
He knew very well what the consequences might be caused by retreating.
Not to mention that the Song army may not lose its sternness. Even if the Song army does not pursue it, they will rush to the north to pick up the besieged Song army. What should we do?
Boyan gave him a death order, asking him to restrain the Song army in Xiujiang Town, and Mengtuo dared not be negligent at all. There are too many Song army gathered here in Xiujiang Town, which is enough to affect the entire battle situation. If something happens, even if Boyan values him, he will probably not be able to forgive him.
Therefore, Monto just asked his subordinates to arrange troops and prepare to fight with the Song army.
He thought that with the people under his command, he could still be entangled with the Song army for a long time.
Soon, the soldiers on both sides started fighting. The military formations on both sides were surging with people and were quite organized.
But the Song army's popularity of firearms still made the Yuan army complain. The thing that could bombard hundreds of meters was really hard to defend.
The Yuan Dynasty failed to study the things to deal with grenade launchers, which destined them to suffer losses on the battlefield.
Moreover, the Song army's thunder chariot, sky thunder, and divine dragon gun cannot be underestimated in anything.
Of course, Monto's estimate is correct. The Song army left the city and wanted to completely destroy them, it was not something that could be done in a short time.
When the sound of fighting and guns and cannons were shaking the sky, the Song Dynasty's Flying Army finally rushed to the Delta with the wind.
The hot air balloon is very fast, especially in the case of a tailwind, and it is not comparable to the war horses.
Yue Peng and Su Quandang looked at the continuous mountains under their feet with great enthusiasm, and felt a little moved in their hearts.
The emperor is such a genius, and he can even develop such things. They really can't figure out how the emperor's brain grows.
But this did not prevent the excitement in both of them.
Thinking about it, you can use the thunder cannon to hit the Yuan army below with the sky-blasting cannon, and the Yuan army below can only jump, so they can't help feeling comfortable.
After about a few minutes, Yue Peng, who was looking down with a telescope, looked slightly condensed and suddenly shouted: "Down!"
He saw that there were many Yuan troops on the official road below, layer by layer, and probably thousands of people had set up several lines of defense on the official road.
The transportation is inconvenient this year, and the surround tactics are easy to implement. You only need to guard the official road and the small road, because the Song army could not cross the towering peaks and break through.
Su Quandang looked at the hundreds of people led by Yue Peng and waved his hands to signal the soldiers to descend.
The closer they were to the ground, the clearer the Yuan soldiers became in their eyes.
About 600 meters above the ground, Yue Peng waved to Su Quan. There was a flag soldier next to him waving the red flag.
Su Quandang understood, but said to the next flag soldiers: "Sign up to General Yue, don't worry about these Yuan troops, and continue moving forward."
The flag soldiers pulled out a blue flag from behind their shoulders and shot out several sailfish.
When Yue Peng saw it, he muttered, "It doesn't matter if you fire two cannons first!"
But he still let the soldiers control the hot air balloon and go north without caring about the Yuan soldiers below.
He knew very well that if he was fighting on the battlefield, Su Quandang was not as good as him. But looking at the overall situation, he was far from Su Quandang.
Now, except for the only few veterans in the Southern Song army, few people can match Su Quandang. He is a strategic general.
More than 200 hot air balloons continued to head north.
Someone from the Yuan army at the bottom saw this scene when he looked up. He was stunned and then shouted, "Look, look, what is in the sky?"
His shouts made many soldiers look up at the sky, and then their eyes hurt by the dazzling sunlight, and they quickly lowered their heads.
But in these few moments, they all saw the hot air balloons in the sky.
These Yuan soldiers all looked puzzled, and some said with no confidence: "Is it Kongming lantern?"
Someone sneered, "Where is such a big Kongming lantern?"
They were at the bottom, but they did not see the Song army's flying soldiers hiding in the hanging basket.
A soldier went to report to the generals in the army. The general looked up and looked at the hot air balloon floating away, but he was also a monk who was confused.
This kind of thing is obviously too far beyond the imagination of people of this era, like a grenade launcher.
More than ten miles north, the scene became very shocking.
I am afraid there will be more than 100,000 soldiers fighting in the fields. The military formations on both sides are rolling like thunder, and countless soldiers are shuttled back and forth.
At the center is the irregular circular defensive formation of the Song army. More than 30,000 people surrounded them closely to resist the Yuan army's attack.
However, the Yuan army continued to attack the Song army formation. Moreover, in Rongjiang, countless heads were surging towards the battlefield on the other side of Huanghua River.
In the Song army's formation, Miao Youli, Jin Hao and other generals all looked solemn.
When the Yuan army had just moved, they realized that the Yuan army was going to launch an attack, but they could not block the Yuan army from the opposite side of the river bank.
The Yuan army pressed up from the south alone had already made them have to distribute most of their troops to resist, and there were no grenade launchers in their army. It was obviously impossible to cross the river with the Thunderbolt chariot and Shenlong gun alone. Therefore, they simply chose to form a defensive formation on site, just to be able to withstand enough time.
This is of course unreasonable. Logically speaking, they should have to hurriedly break through the obstacles of the Yuan army in the south and break through.
The reason why they chose to defend on the spot was naturally because they received a secret letter from Zhao Dongting.
After Zhao Dongting arrived in Xiujiang Town, he had already figured out how to rescue Miao Youli and the others from breaking through.
With hot air balloons, it is obviously not necessary to force a breakout.
The order he gave to Miao Youli and others was that if the Yuan army attacked, they would form a formation on the spot to resist, waiting for reinforcements to arrive, and then wait for an opportunity to break through.
Forced breakthrough will inevitably lead to an extremely heavy price, and Zhao Dongting cannot afford that price.
Jin Hao and others led cavalry soldiers to gallop around the circular defensive formation, and continued to kill the Yuan army that was bullied in front of the formation.
But behind, more Yuan troops rushed up like a tide. Even the Shenlong gun, thunder chariot, and sky thunder could not completely stop the offensive of these Yuan troops.
This was almost a decisive battle between the Song and Yuan dynasties. Although the scene was not particularly large, the soldiers on both sides knew very well that the winner was here.
