720. The Battle of Hengshanzhai (Part 1)
There is a reason why Zhao Bing looks ugly.
Because he received the secret letter from Encheng Prefecture, he knew at this moment that Encheng Prefecture had also been taken down by the Song army.
In other words, the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were divided into three groups, two of which were unstoppable. There was no longer much hope of defending them in Yongzhou.
Unless he can destroy all Zhang Jue's army with thunder in the battle of Hengshanzhai. In this way, he may even turn defeat into victory.
Otherwise, when the overall situation of the left and right sides has been decided, his Hengshan Village will become a dead place.
But seeing the flags outside the city stretching out and the morale of the Song Dynasty's imperial guards was rainbow, Zhao Bing was really unconfident. It was too difficult to destroy such elites in a short period of time.
The reason why he stayed here was probably not that he still had the idea of destroying the Song Dynasty and snatching the throne of Zhao Dongting, but that he truly believed Yu Linglong's words.
If the rebellion fails, going to Shu to be a puppet emperor is a better choice than going to the Li Dynasty of Yue to endure hardships.
He spared no effort here to consume the national strength of the Song Dynasty, and in the future he would be treated even more by the Lord of Shu.
It can be imagined that the treatment he will enjoy in the future will obviously be completely different from that he has made contributions to Shuzhong and not made contributions to Shuzhong.
Zhao Bing felt aggrieved, but he was helpless.
He looked at the dark Song Dynasty imperial guards under the city, and suddenly returned to the city, narrowing his eyes slightly, "Let this Yongzhou become a stepping stone for me, Zhao Bing, to enjoy the glory in Sichuan..."
Of course, he may not have the intention of being angry with Zhao Dongting.
He was always covered by Zhao Dongting in the past, and he was extremely jealous. Now he was about to be defeated by the Song army, so he felt even more unwilling and hated.
But he obviously didn't know that the Emperor of Song, who was like an insurmountable mountain in his heart, stared at him among the army under the city.
Zhao Dongting was next to Zhang Jue, wearing silver armor of his personal soldiers, sitting on the horse. His eyes looked at Zhao Bing on the city wall in a complicated manner.
He tried his best to avoid the situation of brotherly tyranny with Zhao Bing, but unexpectedly, he finally got to this point.
Zhang Jue also looked at the city and asked Zhao Dongting softly: "Master, do we want to attack the city now?"
"It's better to follow the original plan!"
Zhao Dongting shook his head slightly.
With the Flying Army here, it is easy to break the city. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the Flying Army is dispatched, the Hengshan Village can be captured in just a few dozen minutes.
No matter how high the Hengshanzhai City Wall is, it cannot stop the hot air balloons.
However, at this time, there were many people on the city wall taken hostage. Zhao Dongting naturally did not want to use the Flying Army.
As for the city, it must be the same situation. The defenders in the city have either hidden themselves or taken the people as the qualifying.
Zhang Jue nodded, "Then I'll arrange for the soldiers to camp on the spot!"
"good."
Zhao Dongting looked around and said with a deep face: "We are camping here, but we have to see what strength the troops under Zhao Bing have to eat us."
There is a depression outside the north gate of Hengshanzhai. This kind of terrain cannot be regarded as easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Zhao Dongting just wants to take root here.
The 20,000 imperial guards gave him endless confidence.
“Camp!”
Zhang Jue ordered.
The war drums in the army were beating.
Dongdong, Dongdong. The drum sound is very rhythmic.
The soldiers behind them quickly scattered in groups. Then, in a short time, the white tent was tied up outside the Hengshan Village.
In the tent of the handsome tent, Zhang Jue, Jun Tianfang, Zhao Dongting, Yue Yue, Hong Wutian and Kumano were all inside.
Listening to the successive reports of these scouts, even Jun Tianfang, Yue Yue and others showed a slight worry on their faces.
Although these rebels are not large in number per share, they add up to a little bit of a fool.
However, Zhao Dongting's smile became stronger and stronger, and he became more and more calm.
He just played chess and drank with Hong Wutian and others, and did not have the awareness of facing a big battle at all.
As the rebels got closer and closer to the camp, even Zhang Jue was a little restless, "Master, do we really need to be prepared?"
"Enough."
Zhao Dongting chuckled and said, "There are enough trenches outside the city. Military aircraft only need to use the bullets of the soldiers and bomb the sky detonator enough."
Zhang Jue was a little puzzled, but he could only nod.
He didn't know what was strange about the trenches that Zhao Dongting asked his soldiers to dig outside the camp.
After all, in this era, there are very few examples of trench combat, unless it is a moat.
In the city, Zhao Bing has now arrived at the top of the city.
However, unlike two days ago, in addition to doubts in his eyes, there is also a faint joy that cannot be concealed.
In the past two days, the Song army outside the city did not attack the city, which made his army siege.
Of course he knew that Song Jun was doing it intentionally, but he also felt that Zhang Jue was too arrogant.
Does Zhang Jue think that 20,000 imperial guards can definitely block his nearly 40,000 soldiers?
Zhao Bing was secretly ruthless in his heart, wanting to make Zhang Jue pay the price for his arrogance.
"Flying Army?"
Zhao Bing sneered in his heart, "Zhang Jue, don't think that if you have the Flying Army, you can be invincible."
Shuzhong has been in contact with him for a long time. Obviously, there are also hot air balloons in this Hengshan Village. However, Zhao Bing has hardly mentioned this matter to anyone.
