484. White Horse Out of Shu
When Xi Wuliang and Yuan Zhenzi and others arrived, Zhao Dongting asked directly: "Tianshi, has Zhang Kui Temple really bowed his head?"
Yuan Zhenzi didn't understand the meaning and replied: "Zhang Kui Temple was killed by me personally, so it should be correct."
Zhao Dongting frowned and muttered, "Since that's the case, why did the Yuan army still come to Shaowu in such a hurry?"
As he said that, a light suddenly burst out in his eyes, "Do they want to avenge Zhang Kui Temple?"
Then he looked at Xi Wuliang, "Mr. Xi, please quickly send the whole army to prepare for defending the city. In addition, send a message to General Huang to let his army arrive in Shaowu quickly."
Most of Huang Hua's Tou Tuo Army are in Jianpu. In Shaowu, even if the Guangze Tou Tuo Army has arrived here at this time, the real soldiers are only 6,000. It is almost impossible to have tens of thousands of troops at the moment. The people can help the soldiers handle logistics matters and arrange defense lines, but it is unlikely that they will go to the battlefield with kitchen knives.
The real fight has to rely on the soldiers.
There are no dragon guns or thunders in the Toutuo army. Some are just conventional weapons such as sturdy oil cabinets, chariots, bows and crossbows. Even if they occupy the city, there is actually not much convenience to rely on.
You know, there were gunfire chariots and sky-burning thunder in the Yuan army. This was enough to make the city wall look like nothing.
However, Shaowu County still has to be guarded.
Further southeastward, there is only Shunchang City, but Shunchang City is not as close to Shaowu as Guangze is to Shaowu. If Shaowu is lost, the Yuan army on the West Road of Jiangnan has enough space to lay a foundation here. At that time, logistics supply will continue to be transported from the east and west routes of Jiangnan to Fujian Road. It will be difficult to drive away the Yuan army.
The Song army still in Guangxi is beyond reach. Not to mention that it is still recovering its vitality at this time, even if it comes to Fujian Road, it will take time.
Furthermore, even if you can come to support, how many can you come?
Now, not only does Guangxi have other forces that have not been conquered. On the west side of Guangnan West Road, Dali is eyeing him.
Dali alone has made Zhao Dongting dare not easily mobilize Yue Peng, Zhang Hongwei, Su Quandang and others from Guangxi.
Now Dali's minions have been exposed. No one dares to ignore the strength they possess, whether it is the Song Dynasty or the Yuan Dynasty.
Even Dali's current power is stronger than that of the Song Dynasty. They have been operating Dali and have been in Shu for many years, and they will definitely have hidden power that has not been exposed to the water.
Zhang Kui Temple took the order to go.
Zhao Dongting looked at Hong Wutian and others and said, "Seniors, if you want to defend Shaowu County, you may have to rely on your strength."
Tieli Duan said, "Your Majesty, let's go to the Yuan army and kill him again?"
"No."
Zhao Dongting said, "I know you are very powerful, but if you want to kill the Yuan army, I am still worried about whether you can come back safely. I just want to wait until the Yuan army breaks the city, you can mix among the soldiers and kill the generals of the Yuan army. As long as the Yuan army is damaged, the Yuan army will be in chaos at that time, and our chances of defending Shaowu County will be greater."
The army in this era relies too much on generals and beheading tactics. This move is a tried-and-true panacea tactic.
And Yuan Zhenzi and other peerless strong men in the True Martial Realm are undoubtedly the best candidates to implement the beheading tactic.
When the army is fighting, as long as we avoid the firearm, no one can stop them.
Yuan Zhenzi and others nodded when they heard Zhao Dongting's words. Hong Wutian smiled and said, "Your Majesty will be given to us."
If you really want to be alone against a army of tens of thousands of yuan, even with their ability, you will be really unable to achieve it. But if you want to kill the Yuan army generals in the chaos, it would be like taking things out of your pocket. If you don’t even have this ability in the Zhenwu realm’s cultivation, then you can only say that all the martial arts practitioners in the world were blinded by lard.
Time will not stop because of the actions of the Yuan army, but will still pass quietly.
The tense atmosphere in Shaowu County is getting stronger and stronger.
The soldiers of the Toutuo Army patrolled back and forth on the streets and on the top of the city. Even the people who were not in charge of the matter knew that the war was about to go.
At this time, far away on Kuizhou Road, he was also filled with the aura of war.
At the beginning, Zhang Jue failed to defend Chongqing Prefecture, and was eventually captured by the Yuan army.
The Yuan Dynasty opened up a large area of territory but failed to enjoy it. Khan Mengge died in Kuizhou Road. Therefore, Chongqing Prefecture was unable to escape the end of being massacred.
Millions of people in Chongqing were killed in just over ten days, and the entire Chongqing Prefecture became a dead city.
Now, nearly three years have passed, and finally recovered some vitality. Some people who escaped from the city returned to the city again, but the White Horse Army in Shu came again.
Yesuer left only two thousand soldiers to guard Chongqing, so he hurriedly led his army to Guangnan West Road to meet with Boyan. At this point, he never returned to Chongqing again.
The deputy chief of Kuizhou Road, who was in charge of Chongqing Prefecture, was just a Jingguaner who traveled thousands of miles from the capital to Kuizhou. He was a good master in the management of the place, but when it comes to marching and fighting, his ability would be mediocre.
The White Horse Army went from Chengdu Prefecture Road to Tongchuan Prefecture, and there was no movement for more than half a month. Then it was like thunder. In just two days, more than 20,000 light cavalry rushed to the city of Chongqing Prefecture.
At this time, the more than 20,000 light cavalry spread neatly outside the west gate of Chongqing Prefecture.
All the soldiers in the army were wearing helmets and armor, their weapons were bright, and there were no siege equipment. Only hundreds of grain trucks were accompanied by them, and they had never set up camp, and they followed the army.
Gongliang, who was full of old master's aura, stood on the top of the city, just kept clapping his hands, "Chongqing Prefecture is finished, Chongqing Prefecture is finished!"
He asked Xinshiman to leave the city a few days ago to seek help from the rest of Kuizhou Road. But at present, the reinforcements obviously could not arrive here.
Moreover, even if you come, how many people can there be?
When Yesuer left, almost all the soldiers were taken away. The number of soldiers left was small, and most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled.
I am afraid that all the Yuan army on Kuizhou Road will gather in Chongqing Prefecture, but it may not be able to stop the White Horse Army.
However, with his character as a prince, he was unwilling to abandon Chongqing Prefecture. He had just been in charge of this place for more than two years and watched the city slowly recover under his own governance. Even if he died, he would die on the city of Chongqing Prefecture.
The White Horse soldiers all had white silk cloth tied on their right arms, and stood outside the city for about two quarters of an hour.
There was no movement in the army, but the murderous aura became stronger and stronger, which made the Yuan army on the city of Chongqing change his face.
Gong Liang looked out from time to time. Although he knew that reinforcements had arrived, he could not stand by Chongqing Prefecture, but at this time, he still hoped that reinforcements could come as soon as possible.
Guangnan West Road and East Road have been completely occupied by the Song Dynasty, Jinghu South Road and Jiangnan West Road are also empty. If the Kuizhou Road is lost, the Yuan Dynasty's base in the south will be almost gone. At that time, if we want to regroup and the army head south, we don't know how many years will it take.
Gong Liangzhang knew this. If you couldn't defend this Chongqing Prefecture, you had to defend it.
However, the sudden movements in the White Horse Army under the city made him feel no more lucky.
Only a few drums were heard, dozens of hot air balloons slowly expanded in the middle formation of the White Horse Army and then rose into the air.
“Hot air balloon!”
A Yuan general standing on the city wall exclaimed.
Even if they were far away on Kuizhou Road, they now know the name of hot air balloons.
All the generals turned pale.
There are also thunderstorms in their army, but can thunderstorms block the hot air balloons of the White Horse Army?
It was undoubtedly beyond their expectations that the White Horse Army could actually master such a powerful killing weapon.
In terms of military orders, the Yuan Dynasty, which had the most powerful force, was actually left behind by the Song Dynasty and Dali.
Seeing that the hot air balloon flew directly towards the city, a general said to Gongliang: "Sir Gongliang, let's abandon the city! This Chongqing Prefecture cannot be defended!"
There was no weapon in their army to deal with hot air balloons, and they could only get bombed on the top of the city.
Gong Liangchang sighed, "Abandon the city... Where can I go after abandoning the city? At this age, can I still follow the army and run away in a panic?"
He has a bad body and has been pampered for so long, but he has never improved. His face is sallow. He knows his situation best. He knows very well that he can't withstand such bumps at all with the army out of the city. The biggest possibility is that he dies of illness in the army.
The generals remained silent.
Gong Liang said, "My generals, I will hand over the soldiers to you. You... go out of the city..."
