Chapter 1179 Defending the Barracks (2)
Chapter 1179: Defending the military camp (2)
The words are amazing.
Because of his words, the faces of the head general in the account changed slightly.
Two days seem to be not long, but to talk about real fighting, it is really too long.
How many soldiers can support two-day battles?
Even if you are tired, you will be exhausted.
Liu Hongyi shook his head and said, "Although our army has already set up several lines of defense outside the camp,... it will block them for two days..."
Two days were enough for the Dali Army to dispatch troops. Even if the vanguard could not capture the Song camp, they had enough time to transfer the army from the city.
Zhu Hecong said again: "But if our army retreats, the two armies of Dali gather in Hengshan Village. Even if Commander Zhang and others arrive, it is not easy for us to take down Hengshan Village..."
Zhu Haiwang nodded slightly beside him, "If you fight, you will definitely fight hard. But this has to be said to be an opportunity."
All the generals in the tent were slightly moved.
If they defended the military camp to the death and Zhang Hongwei and others failed to lead their troops to arrive in time, they would probably die in this battle.
Even if Zhang Hongwei and others led their troops to arrive, what was the result of this battle? It is still unpredictable now.
Liu Hongyi glanced at the generals, "If you retreat, if you throw away some baggage now, you will have time. If you guard it, you will fight to the death. What do you think?"
No one speaks.
Seeing this, Liu Hongyi waved his hand and said, "Since you are unwilling to express your opinion, then vote!"
He tore open the rice paper on the desk and handed over to more than ten people in the tent, including Hong Wutian, Zhu Haiwang and others, "We will decide whether to withdraw or fight, we will decide based on the number of votes."
Everyone took the paper, wrote their answers on it, and handed it to Liu Hongyi.
Liu Hongyi looked at it, his eyes swept across everyone again, and he said in a deep voice: "Prepare to fight to the death!"
Some people write about war, and some people write about retreat. But the number of votes for war is one more vote than the one who refunds. Perhaps, this is God's will.
After hearing what Liu Hongyi said, Ran Anguo, Huang Zhijie and others stopped hesitating and walked out of the tent.
Although not everyone wants to hold on, the result has come out now. The generals who wanted to retreat before obviously would not say anything else.
Military orders are like mountains.
This is the foundation of the Song Dynasty army.
The military camp was in full swing soon, and many soldiers came out of the tent and ran to their respective positions.
At the same time, on the west side of the barracks, Wang Ziqian led the army to get closer and closer to the Song army camp.
The two armies had scouts to inquire.
Wang Ziqian, who was in the army, heard that the Song army had not retreated, had a look of surprise in his eyes and murmured: "What kind of ability do you Emperor Song have to make you all put life and death out of your way. How long can you defend me for more than 20,000 soldiers?"
Then he suddenly looked north of the official road, with inexplicable eyes.
As soon as Si was approaching, the Dali army led by Wang Ziqian was approaching the place where the Song army camped. The army was endless, and there were probably tens of thousands more.
The hot air balloons in the air are also vast.
Compared with the Dali Army's formation, although the Song army's barracks are strictly guarded, they undoubtedly seem to be somewhat weak.
Liu Hongyi, Zhu Haiwang and others stood at the gate of the military camp and looked at the Dali Army at the end of the official road with a telescope.
Hong Wutian and others stood beside each other.
However, Honggui and Zhu Zongyao were seriously injured and were still recovering from the city of Yongzhou. They were unable to arrive in Hengshan Village.
Seeing the Dali army getting closer, Liu Hongyi suddenly said: "Haiwang, He Cong, the army now only needs to defend the military camp to the death. You two will leave first! Go and find Commander Zhang and the others."
Zhu Haiwang chuckled when he heard this, "Master Xie is very loving. But He Cong and I are both deputy commanders, so why do you say you are escaping in the last battle?"
Liu Hongyi said: "You are still young and have a bright future. You are a Confucian general. There is really no need to accompany us old guys to fight here to death. Brother Zhu was severely injured outside Yongzhou City. Your Zhu family has paid enough. If you two have any accidents here again, I have no face to face the emperor..."
Even Hong Wutian said: "Yes, you brothers are not very good at using swords and guns, so there is really no need to stay here."
Zhu Haiwang just smiled faintly, looked at the more and more Dali army, and said, "If you say you leave, most of the people in this army have reason to leave. Even if it is Liu Shuai, you still have a wife and a child at home, right? We brothers took the initiative to ask the emperor to come to Yongzhou to fight. If we leave like this, we will have no face to see the emperor again. Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. We have also heard from the emperor that Liu Shuai, you resolutely led the crowd to turn against each other during the Battle of Guizhou. At that time, from the perspective of military strength, the governor of Leizhou, Ge Li Army, and the Yuan army, Zhang Hongfan, and others have the upper hand. Liu Shuai, you know that it is impossible, but is it for it?"
Liu Hongyi was slightly silent when he heard this.
yes……
Before the military and national affairs, there were no so many children who had a love relationship. If they only cared about the small family, then no one in the Song Dynasty would come to join the army.
The emperor has good governance. How many people can still eat without a meal in their families?
He stopped persuading, but just sighed softly, "Since you want to keep it, then keep it..."
Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong chuckled and stopped talking.
But there was a certain decisive atmosphere spreading quietly.
After about two quarters of an hour, the Dali army reached the bottom of the hillside. Tens of thousands of troops formed countless square formations, densely packed, and the military flags spread.
The solemn and murderous aura almost rushed into the sky.
Compared to the previous one, Wang Ziqian's preparations were undoubtedly more complete this time. Large equipment such as artillery chariots and crossbows can be seen in the army.
Less than 200 hot air balloons in the Song army camp also slowly took off at this moment.
"Prepare for war!"
"Prepare for war!"
Such a sound was heard everywhere in the military camp.
Although there are thunder arrays buried under the hillside, those thunder arrays obviously cannot resist so many Dali troops. And the results will definitely not be too good.
After the Dali army stopped at the hillside for a moment, suddenly, ragged people walked out of the army and walked towards the hillside.
This made Liu Hongyi's face suddenly look angry, "These [ www.biqugex.co] some bastards!"
He really didn't expect that the Dali Army would use the people in the city to thunder formations.
There are only weeds on the hillside and there is no place to hide, which makes the thunder they buried can only be mines. If these people step on it, they will explode immediately.
Not long after, an explosion sounded at the foot of the mountain.
When the two countries fight, the most pitiful thing is not the soldiers, but the people.
Zhu Haiwang and others were all full of anger and gritted their teeth. But at this moment, there was no way.
Looking at the smoke rising from the hillside, I just hated the Dali army even more.
The people who were driven to the hillside cried and cried.
Chapter completed!
