Chapter 44 Black Clouds Fight the City

This made Zhao Dongting feel a little nervous, worried that Ge Lijun would surrender to Yuan Dynasty at this time. In that way, the island of Benzhou would face greater pressure.

But he felt that this possibility was not high.

When Ge Lijun surrendered to Yuan Yuan at this time, he would inevitably be sent to attack Guizhou Island as cannon fodder. Ge Lijun's character should choose to deal with him.

August is approaching, and 30,000 thunders are finally buried.

Lare, thunder, tripping, mother and son thunder, and other various thunders that squeeze Zhao Dongting's brains were densely spread all over the island of Benzhou.

The atmosphere on the island of Benzhou was so solemn that it almost solidified.

On this day, Zhao Dongting personally led more than 20,000 imperial guards to hold a oath-taking ceremony on the cliff of Benzhou Island.

He stood at the highest point of the cliff in his imperial robe, where he jumped down. Below were endless soldiers of the Song Dynasty.

A straight spear refracted the sunlight, looking so sharp.

Ying Er, Le Wu, Yang Shufei and others were all standing beside Zhao Dongting. Nearby were the civil officials of the Southern Song Dynasty court, while military generals were all on the list.

The sea breeze blew, whirling the various dragon-inlaid military flags.

Zhao Dongting looked at it with great concentration for a while, suddenly raised the long sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Where is my great Song soldiers?"

"exist!"

"exist!"

"exist!"

The extremely loud shouts were centered on Zhao Dongting, and they rippled down the mountain one by one, deafening.

Countless spears and halberds were raised high, as if they wanted to pierce the sky. Countless military flags were illuminated and waved, as if they wanted to lift the land.

Before Zhao Dongting's long sword fell, the shouting stopped.

It took him a few minutes before he suddenly put down his sword. The shouts also came to an abrupt end.

But in just a few seconds, Zhao Dongting raised his sword again and shouted: "Where is my Great Song Warrior?"

"exist!"

"exist!"

"exist!"

The shouts rang out again.

"Are the warriors afraid of death?"

"Not afraid!"

"Not afraid!"

"Are the warriors afraid of the thief?"

"The Immortal Yuan Thief, sleep with the sea!"

"The Immortal Yuan Thief, sleep with the sea!"

The last shout lasted for nearly two minutes.

The fighting spirit of the soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty was aroused to the peak.

Zhao Dongting held a sharp sword in his hand, stood by the cliff, looking at the vast sea. At this moment, his heart finally completely integrated into the Song Dynasty.

Looking at the soldiers who were stretching in front of him, he told himself that you are no longer the former Zhao Dongting, but the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty.

He completely bid farewell to his previous life and decided to forget all the grudges and hatreds in his previous life.

The oath-taking ceremony ends here.

Immediately afterwards, more than 20,000 imperial guards were deployed separately.

Except for thousands of which were arranged to explode everywhere, the rest were temporarily deployed in the palace on the mountainside.

Zhao Dongting returned to the Political Consultative Hall and made the final battle arrangement with the civil and military officials of the court.

The Yuan army is coming.

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 discussion by everyone, 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!"

The two of them 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 partners.

"Zhang Shijie obeys the order!"

"I'm here!"

"You are in the center and 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 go down and 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.
