Chapter 438: The Decisive Battle in Guangxi (Sixth) (1)

Among the Song army, Wen Tianxiang personally led the army out of the city. He was really surprised to see that the Yuan army suddenly sounded gold before the war started, and he hurriedly retreated.

He knew that Monto led his army to attack Xiujiang Town purely to drag down the garrison of the Xiujiang Town, but what happened?

Could it be that Monto felt that the delay was enough?

Wen Tianxiang did not think that Mengtuo would withdraw his troops because he was afraid that all his soldiers would be destroyed, because even if the Song army was powerful, it would take time to swallow up more than 30,000 Yuan troops. Furthermore, Mengtuo must be clear about the importance of this battle. It can be said that it was the final battle of the Yuan army to attack Song. If necessary, even if he fought to the last battle, he would never dare to withdraw without authorization.

Therefore, Wen Tianxiang became more inclined to the previous guess.

This made his heart suddenly pound.

Could it be that the Yuan army had any arrangements on the riverside, and had the confidence to take over dozens of divisions and units in a short period of time?

Until this time, no news was transmitted from the Delta to Xiujiang Town.

Thinking of this, Wen Tianxiang looked solemn, and he didn't care about pursuing Mengtuo anymore, and said to Zhang Hongwei beside him: "General Zhang, you lead the army to help the children of the Beggars' Gang. The other soldiers will go back to the city with me!"

Zhang Hongwei took the order and waved his hand to leave the large army with his soldiers.

Liu Hongyi was on the right side of Wen Tianxiang and said in surprise: "Marson, don't we continue to pursue the Yuan army?"

Although the Yuan army is strong, chasing now may still cause great losses to the Yuan army. Liu Hongyixu has not been on the battlefield for a long time and is inevitably a little excited at this time and is unwilling to miss such a good opportunity.

Wen Tianxiang didn't say much, but just nodded slightly, "Go back to the city!"

His commanding flag ran towards the city, and the army that had just left the city naturally followed slowly.

Liu Hongyi felt very sorry, but he could only sigh and give up.

He was just a general and could not change Wen Tianxiang's idea. Moreover, as a marshal, Wen Tianxiang's vision might be more farther than him.

After the army returned to Xiujiang Town, Wen Tianxiang rode his horse and headed straight for the government office.

Zhao Dongting had returned to the government office at this time. Le Chan and Qin Han stood beside him. Seeing Wen Tianxiang hurried into the hall, Zhao Dongting said in a slight surprise: "Why did the military order come back? Could it be that Monto was defeated so quickly, right?"

Of course this is a joke. Zhao Dongting was not a lie on the battlefield. He knew that he would destroy the Yuan army, so he could not be so fast.

Wen Tianxiang's face did not relax at all because of Zhao Dongting's jokes, and said in a deep voice: "Master, when the Monto army saw our army leave the city, he hurriedly retreated, and even the soldiers who were fighting with the righteous men of the Beggars' Gang. I think there may be some clues in this. Has he achieved his goal?"

Zhao Dongting's expression was also slightly stern.

Wen Tianxiang didn't say it thoroughly, but he still heard what he meant.

Monto was restraining them. If the goal was achieved, it might be that the situation in the Delta had already decided.

However, even if the winner is decided, Monto has no reason to get the news so quickly.

Now even Zhao Dongting couldn't sit still, stood up and said, "The military order means that the Yuan army has any other means that we don't know about there?"

Wen Tianxiang nodded, "This is exactly what I am worried about. Emperor, should we lead our army out of the city to support us now?"

"No."

Zhao Dongting pondered for a few minutes, and finally shook his head, "If there is a failure there, it will be useless for us to rush to support now. There are more than 100,000 troops there. If the war has stopped, we run over to send sheep into the tiger's mouth. If Monto returns again, our army will be surrounded. Hey... Do you think Monto withdraws his troops, but is it intentionally trying to lure our army out of the city to provide assistance?"

Wen Tianxiang showed an unexpected look, "Maybe there is really such a possibility."

He did not think of this just now.

At this time, Qin Han said, "Emperor, no matter what Monto's intention is, we will be guarding Xiujiang Town now. If something really happens there, I think Yue Peng and Su Quandang will come back to report the news soon. Even if Monto wants to protect his strength, it doesn't matter if he runs away. He only has about 30,000 soldiers left, which will have no big impact on the entire battle situation."

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly, "Well. Just do that!"

Wen Tianxiang bowed his hand and left the hall again.

Qin Han asked Zhao Dongting, "It's just the emperor. If our army is really wiped out by the entire army, what should we do?"

Zhao Dongting said, "To be honest, I never thought about it. If this is the case, then our dynasty will be out of power. At that time, the entire army can only rush to Shuzhong, and even the foundation of Leizhou will have to be abandoned. Haha, Qin Han, what would you do if I lead my army to Shuzhong?"

Qin Han chose to keep silent again, as if he had not heard Zhao Dongting's words, but the light flashing in his eyes was enough to show that he was thinking about this.

Outside Xiujiang Town, the battle between the disciples of the Beggars' Sect and the two thousand cavalry of the Yuan army was soon over.

The masters of the Beggars' Sect are like dragons and tigers, and with Hong Wutian, the master of Zhenwu Realm, it is already difficult for the Yuan army cavalry to resist. After Zhang Hongwei led his more than 5,000 Tianxian Army under his command to arrive, he joined the battle group, which even caused the Yuan army cavalry to throw away his armor.

In the end, only more than a hundred people left of the two thousand yuan cavalry fled, and they were missing their whereabouts.

Zhang Hongwei led his army to guard the ragged disciples of the Beggar Gang back to Xiujiang Town.

Zhao Dongting had received a report from the scout, but did not want to neglect Hong Wutian, so he brought hundreds of personal guards, Xiao Yulin and others to the south of Xiujiang Town to greet him.

Seeing Hong Wutian walking in front and stride towards him, Zhao Dongting laughed loudly and said, "Senior Hong, I want to destroy me."

While speaking, he quickly walked forward to meet him.

Even with Hong Wutian's heart and nature, he felt quite flattered at this time.

The Southern Song Dynasty is different from the past. Zhao Dongting’s wise and divine martial arts reputation is no longer the little emperor with an unstable foundation.

But now, he is still so polite to Hong Wutian, and even respectful. If Hong Wutian is not moved, it would naturally be impossible.

He is the emperor, but he is just a beggar emperor. If he were just judging by strength, he would be far from comparable to Zhao Dongting now.

If Zhao Dongting is cold-hearted and disregards him, what can he do?

With a slight look on his face, Hong Wutian actually knelt down to the ground, "The grass man Hong Wutian has seen the emperor..."

But before he could kneel down, he was supported by Zhao Dongting, who was quick-witted and chuckled, "Senior, aren't you doing this to kill me?"

Zhao Dongting was always grateful to Hong Wutian for his kindness.
