Liu Mansion Fires
After hesitating for a few seconds, he said again: "Then... General, are we going to send someone to ask General Zhang to lead his army back?"
"Um."
Li Heng just nodded and then strode into the barracks.
Regardless of whether Song Jun was false or real, he was not in a good mood after returning without success this time.
Moreover, as time passed, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the Song army seemed to be deliberately bluffing.
This caused Li Heng to fall asleep no matter how he returned to the tent.
It’s just that the authorities are obsessed with it. No matter how he thinks, he never thinks what he is missing.
In this way, after another two hours, Zhang Hongfan led the army to come back to Donghai Island after receiving the news.
He had obviously heard from the guard that Li Heng retreated his troops, and walked to Li Heng's camp. Seeing that Li Heng was not sleeping, he asked directly: "Why did you retreat now?"
Naturally, Li Heng could not reply to Zhang Hongfan in just a few words to the guard general, and then he explained his experience at that time in detail.
"well!"
After hearing this, Zhang Hongfan patted his thigh heavily, "I'm afraid my brother has been tricked by the Song army!"
Li Heng frowned and said, "How can you explain this, brother?"
Zhang Hongfan said uncomfortably: "My brother, think about it. Looking at the fact that since the Song Emperor took charge of the army, our army and the Song army have fought countless times. When did the Song army use such a real trick? Even if he uses a trick, he just chooses the generals of our army to kill him. If the Song Emperor really led his army back, he could use the firearms of the Song Dynasty to repel you head-on. Why do you need to set up a suspicious formation? You have said that if the military strategy is not surprisingly correct, you will use the strange ones if you cannot use the right one. Why can't you figure it out now?"
Li Heng was stunned.
He finally understood what he was missing.
Yes, if Emperor Song returns, he can completely block him head-on, why do you need to spend a lot of effort to use the strategy?
With the firepower of the Song Dynasty, even if it is a head-on battle, it can cause him to lose countless losses, right?
Li Heng's fat face twitched slightly, and then it became more and more intense. He gritted his teeth and roared: "I'm so angry!"
Zhang Hongfan just sighed deeply at this.
Although Li Heng is only a deputy general, the two have a close relationship. Li Heng has a very strong influence in the court, so he can't blame him.
More than ten seconds later, Li Heng's eyes were a little red and he said, "Brother, don't worry, wait for the soldiers to rest for a while. I will lead my army to take down the Haikang County town in the early morning tomorrow! This is a great humiliation with blood."
I think he is also a famous wise general in the Yuan Dynasty. When did he be fooled like this?
Zhang Hongfan looked at him and said, "That's good. Emperor Song must be impossible to rush back to Hikkam tonight."
After saying that, the two of them didn't say anything more. Zhang Hongfan left the camp and returned to his handsome tent.
Li Heng figured out what he had missed, and he was full of doubts. Although he was angry, he could sleep now and fell asleep quickly.
Haikang County.
After Zhang Hongfan withdrew from the army, Zhang Jue led hundreds of personal guards to hurried back to Haikang and met Su Liuyi.
When he heard that Su Liuyi used the bird-shocking plan and the dragon chariot plan scared Li Heng back, he naturally praised Su Liuyi very much.
But then, both of them began to ponder.
It is conceivable that when Li Heng reacts, Haikang County will inevitably face his large-scale attack. Such a plan cannot be concealed from people like Li Heng for too long. According to the news that the scout brought Haikang from Zhao Dongting's army, Zhao Dongting is about four days away from Haikang at this time.
Haikang County has empty troops, and it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to block the Yuan army for four days.
After Li Heng was trapped, he would be in thunder again in anger.
The two of them pondered for a long time, and Su Liuyi sighed: "Mr. Zhang, we can only stay in the city and guard it, and set up a thunder formation outside the city to resist the Yuan army."
Zhang Jue said: "But the Yuan army has more than 100,000 troops and horses, and there are also artillery chariots. I am afraid that they can't stop them with thunder formations!"
Now both sides of the Song and Yuan dynasties have firearms, and many of the previous methods of defending the city are no longer applicable. Even Zhang Jue, who is best at defending the city, has a headache at this time.
The power of the sky-bombing thunder is much greater than that of stones. The walls of Haikang County are not strong, so it is basically impossible to block the cannon-shooting carts.
In the past, when there was a moat to resist the enemy, the soldiers in the city could have slaughtered on the top of the city, causing great damage to the enemy under the city. But now, the Yuan army does not need to attack the city at all. They only need to use the catapult to blow up the city wall after driving hundreds of meters. As long as they are willing to shells, the Song army will no longer be able to take advantage of the city wall. Even if there are more defenders arranged on the city wall, they will only be bombed.
When Zhao Dongting used to bombard the city, the Yuan army guarding the city suffered a lot and was blown to death. At this time, this dilemma fell on Zhang Jue and the others.
The emergence of firearms has gradually changed the original war mode in this world.
The city wall that used to allow the soldiers guarding the city to have the advantage is not particularly tall and sturdy now, but has become useless.
Su Liuyi also knew that what Zhang Jue said was the truth and said, "Then how can we defend this Haikang County? Otherwise, let the Empress Dowager and the ministers leave Haikang first?"
By this time, it was obviously too late to evacuate the people. As an old minister, Su Liuyi had an outdated mind and probably did not take the people in his heart too much.
In this era, many ministers and ministers had the problem of Su Liuyi. After all, although Zhao Dongting continued to enhance the status of the people, his time in power was still too short to completely change the ministers' thinking.
In the minds of many Song ministers like Su Liu Yi, they were still led by the aristocratic class.
Zhang Jue was stunned when he heard this and said, "Only withdraw the ministers and ministers, not the people. When the emperor knows, will he blame us?"
But he knew how much Zhao Dongting cared about the people.
Su Liuyi sighed and said, "Even if the emperor blames him, there is no way. If Haikang County is destroyed, wouldn't the Empress Dowager and the others... Our royal family can no longer withstand such a storm."
Zhang Jue fell silent.
Su Liuyi said it was indeed right. Until now, the royal family of the Song Dynasty has withered. If something happened to the Empress Dowager and King Guang Zhao Bing again...
By then, Zhao Dongting would be the only one left in the royal family of the Song Dynasty.
If the royal family dies, the country dies. If Zhao Dongting has any more accidents, what is the significance of their efforts over the years?
In their hearts, they did not fight for the people like Song Bitao, but for the royal family and for the Zhao family.
Seeing Zhang Jue silent, Su Liuyi hurriedly stood up, "I'll go into the palace to ask for the Empress Dowager."
Zhang Jue did not stop him.
