Although there are mountain mines as traps, it is not possible to have a trap but no bait.

Even animals know that there is a trap in front of them, they won’t stumble on them.

Zhao Dongting sat on the dragon couch and asked, "The Yuan thief arrived in a hurry and would definitely test our army. My dear friends...who dares to attract the Yuan army?"

In ancient times, people also had a lot of knowledge in fighting, and they didn't just rush forward foolishly when they arrived on the battlefield. Zhao Dongting never thought that those Yuan troops would rush into the palace on the mountain. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have worked hard to travel through mountains and rivers to survey the terrain everywhere.

He said this and his voice was a little heavy, because it must be an extremely dangerous task. The Yuan army was powerful and he might not be able to come back if he rushed out.

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.

As a king, Zhao Dongting could not go to Lare in person, and he could not control so many thunders at the same time.

The king commands the commander, commands the general, commands the soldiers. Not to mention ancient times, even in modern wars, the same was true.

Even Zhuge Liang, who was as good as a god, had to rely on the generals below.

The Song Dynasty was weak, and Zhao Dongting was willing to give these generals a chance to train. If he was defeated, he would at most die. If he could come to the Song Dynasty, his life would be like to pick it up. These days, he has been mentally prepared.

In the following nights, no one on the island of Benzhou did not sleep too well, as if even the air was filled with a strong murderous aura.

Zhao Dongting repeatedly pondered and thought about his own war strategy, but found no more omissions.

He has tried his best. If he still loses this way, it can only be said to be God's will.

All the people on the island of Benzhou have long been withdrawn, and the remaining civil servants and military families gathered in the palace.

Late at night, a blazing flame suddenly burned at the highest peak of Benzhou Island.

The Yuan army finally arrived.

This bonfire is a signal from the lookout.

For a moment, the sound of desolate horns rang everywhere on Benzhou Island.

The guard outside Zhao Dongting’s door exclaimed: “Master, the bonfire is on fire!”

Zhao Dongting jumped up from the bed, listened to the sound of the horn, and ran out wearing clothes.

Li Yuanxiu hurriedly followed.

These days, he was worried that the Yuan army would send masters to attack, so he slept in Zhao Dongting's house.

Run to the edge of the cliff.

Zhao Dongting looked with a telescope and saw that the Yuan army warships were densely packed in the night, and they were rushing towards the island of Benzhou.

The survival of the small court in the Southern Song Dynasty has arrived.

Many people ran out of the palace and watched the sea from the cliff. However, the night was thick and there was no telescope, but they couldn't see clearly.

Zhao Dongting stood in front, with a serious face and no words.

Looking at the Yuan army's warships, there must be hundreds of ships, which are obviously coming.

I had never seen such a scene before, and Zhao Dongting just thought about it in his mind, but didn't feel that it was too shocking. Now that I saw it with my own eyes, I found that the army of tens of thousands of people could really make people feel scared. The vast momentum came like dark clouds.

"The black clouds are over the city... the city is about to destroy..."

Zhao Dongting held the telescope and stared at the Yuan army's warship without moving.

Not long after, Concubine Yang also came over, feeling sorry for her son, and hurried back to take the cloak and put it on for Zhao Dongting.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the Yuan army warships stopped along the coast of Benzhou Island. Their warships were arranged in an orderly manner and were obviously well-trained.

But they did not attack immediately.

The Yuan army was on the deck of the commander's ship, with guards standing in front of him, and two men were sitting and drinking.

The man on the left had long beard and chest, thick eyebrows and big eyes, extraordinary appearance and extremely majestic. It was Zhang Hongfan, the commander of the Yuan army.

The man sitting opposite him had a bloated figure and a fair face, but his eyes were shining, and he was the deputy commander Li Heng.

The battle was about to happen, but the two of them were calm and calm, talking and laughing.

Neither of them was considered true Yuan Dynasty people, so their relationship in the court was also very good.

Emperor Kublai Khan was famous for employing people, so he did not care about sending these private friends to the chief and deputy commander.

For this, there were many foreign generals and surrendered generals of the Southern Song Dynasty in the Yuan Dynasty, and they were very grateful to Kublai Khan. Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng were the two.

Zhang Hongfan raised his hand and pointed at Benzhou Island and said to Li Heng: "Brother Li Heng thinks, how long can we capture this Benzhou Island?"

Li Heng smiled and said, "The child emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty is only 20,000 troops around him. Even if he resists stubbornly, he cannot resist our army for more than two days."

Zhang Hongfan said softly and said with great interest: "Then how should our army be arranged?"

"hehe."

Li Heng picked up the wine glass and said, "Brother Hongfan is trying to find out me. I believe there is a good idea in my heart... I will definitely be besieged in the city?"

As he said that, he also pointed to the island of Benzhou, "The Song army's warships are all on that side, but you choose to land on this side, not to erase their last hopes. It seems that the Song monarchs and ministers still have some hope in their hearts. When we launch an attack, they cannot resist and will choose to board the ship and escape. At that time, we can easily catch up with the speed of the sea boats, so that all the Song monarchs and ministers will die in the belly of fish."

"Those who know me, Brother Li Heng..."

Zhang Hongfan sighed, raised his glasses and clinked with Li Heng, but said again: "However, I don't plan to give them a chance to board the ship."

"oh?"

Li Heng was slightly surprised.

Zhang Hongfan said proudly: "Our army has two roads, land and land. Just need the soldiers on the island to hold back their tails when the emperor and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty fled, and the warships then detoured from here and attacked on both sides. Brother Li Heng thought, would the Song army still have the possibility of boarding the ship?"

Li Heng bowed, "Brother Hongfan is a masterpiece, Li Heng is ashamed of himself..."

The two of them were drinking and talking about military affairs, as if they didn't take the Southern Song army to heart.

While the Southern Song army was extremely afraid of the Yuan army, this also led to the contempt of the Southern Song army by the Yuan Dynasty.

Until dawn, the Yuan army had not attacked. Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng, the two commanders, even went back to the cabin to sleep.

On the cliff, there were still ministers and nobles standing in the Southern Song Dynasty court.
