Chapter 663: Battle of Shaowu (IV) (2)

Who said that in war, you can only defend and attack the city?

The city must be defended, but it is not enough to defend it to the death.

As for burning food and grass, a plan is a good plan, but it is not the best one.

Zhao Dongting waved to Hong Wutian and others, and nine peerless masters who were arrogant and energetic rushed down from the roof.

The crowd walked to the shop next to which the fire had not caught fire.

Zhao Dongting's eyes swept across everyone and said, "I have to bother the four seniors to go to the gloss again. I wonder which four seniors are willing to go?"

He didn't dare to let Hong Wutian and others go to Guangze County again, because without them, Shaowu County would be completely lost in a moment.

Mrs. Xu was the first to speak out, "Is the Emperor going to seize the Yuan army's retreat and ask them to give up the capture of Shaowu?"

As the leader of the She people, she led the She people to fight against the Yuan army for many years. She was obviously the most keen of the Zhenwu realm powerhouse.

Zhao Dongting chuckled and shook his head, "No need to cut off their retreat, just break into the city, burn some of their food and grass, and scare them."

"emperor."

Xi Wuliang couldn't help but look puzzled when he heard this, "Why don't you burn all their food and grass directly?"

"If all their food and grass are burned, the Shaowu County City will be really unable to defend it." Zhao Dongting pointed outside, "If all the food and grass of Guangze are burned, then these tens of thousands of troops will become an isolated army without a retreat, and there are still some food and grass in our Shaowu City. Now they look down on it, but what if they know that the food and grass of Guangze are burned completely?"

Xi Wuliang's face changed slightly.

Yes, he only thought about burning the Yuan army's food and grass, but he did not think that he would force the Yuan army into a dead end.

The Yuan army, who knew that there was no luster and no food, would definitely capture Shaowu at any cost, and then plunder the food and grass in the city, and all the people in the city would suffer disaster.

Xi Wuliang lowered his head slightly and said, "The Emperor is wise."

Mrs. Xu's eyes were filled with light, "What the emperor meant is to let us pretend to burn grain but failed?"

Zhao Dongting nodded.

Mrs. Xu bowed and said, "I am willing to go there."

She spoke out, and Hong Wutian stood next to her naturally and expressed his opinion.

Immediately afterwards, Tie Liduan and Le Wuquan also bowed, "I am willing to go there too."

All four of them are truly from the Song Dynasty. Compared with Yuan Zhenzi and others, Kumano, who had just entered the Wuding Hall, was undoubtedly more active.

Zhao Dongting didn't hesitate and said, "Okay, then let's go with the four seniors."

Speaking of this, he paused a little, "After the four seniors break into Guangze City, they will burn some food and grass and then pretend to be insufficiency. Remember not to really burn all their food and grass. If the Yuan army on Shaowu side does not want to return Guangze, then, I will trouble the four seniors to really burn their food and grass completely! However, there is no need for the four seniors to risk their lives. If the matter is not done, come back to Shaowu immediately."

"yes!"

Mrs. Xu and the four of them bowed their orders.

Zhao Dongting looked at Yuan Zhenzi, Kumano and others again, "If you want to defend this Shaowu City, you have to worry about the five."

Yuan Mako and the others chuckled and nodded, and even Kumano pointed his zombie head slightly.

Although they are all powerful people in the Zhenwu realm and have good identities and status, Zhao Dongting still enjoys them so politely.

After a while, Mrs. Xu, Hong Wutian, Le Wuquan, Tie Liduan and the other four galloped, left the west gate of Shaowu, and headed towards Guangze County.

After only a few dozen minutes, the Yuan army outside the city also made another move, and it was obvious that the generals had already discussed countermeasures outside the city.

The generals of the Yuan army dare not say what they are now, but most of them were veterans who had been through the battlefield and had rich combat experience. They gathered together, so of course they could figure out a solution.

It is impossible to block the Zhenwu army with tens of thousands of troops outside the Shaowu County. Even if there are more powerful people in the Zhenwu realm, they can only delay the Yuan army's time to capture Shaowu.

The Yuan army outside the city was about 60,000, divided into dozens of military formations, heading towards the city gates on the west, south and east sides.

For a moment, the dust outside the city was noisy.

Zhao Dongting stood outside the shop with a large wooden umbrella on his head to block the sunlight.

In this era, many shops in cities would raise large umbrellas outside like this. In the past, there were often elderly people playing chess under the umbrella.

A soldier hurriedly came to report on the movements of the Yuan army outside the city.

Zhao Dongting and others all changed color instantly.

After listening to the report, they naturally understood the Yuan army's plan. They were going to besiege Shaowu County from all sides.

Although there are many Zhenwu realms in the city, it is obviously unlikely to block the Yuan army entering from all directions, not to mention that Mrs. Xu and the other two have left Shaowu County now.

Xi Wuliang and others all looked at Zhao Dongting, while Zhao Dongting just frowned.

Under such circumstances, even he was helpless.

A few minutes later, Xi Wuliang said: "Emperor, before the Yuan army has joined forces, you should leave Shaowu first!"

He was obviously worried that Zhao Dongting would have an accident in the city.

Regardless of whether his words were from the heart or deliberately flattering him, it was always comfortable to hear Zhao Dongting's ears.

He raised his hand, tapped his forehead with his fingers, and said, "I asked all the people of glossy to gather in Shaowu. How can I abandon them at this time?"

Xi Wuliang showed a slightly anxious look, "But the emperor, Shao Wucheng is afraid..."

Zhao Dongting raised his hand, interrupted him, and said, "Sir Xi, arrange two hundred light cavalry immediately and follow me out of the city!"

Xi Wuliang didn't react for several seconds, and then he was surprised, "I obey the order!"

After saying that, he hurriedly ran outside.

He only thought that Zhao Dongting had agreed to leave Shaowu County.

However, when the two hundred light cavalry gathered on the street outside the shop, when Xi Wuliang ran in, Zhao Dongting said again: "Sir Xi, after I rushed out of the city gate, I will try my best to attract the Yuan army. You immediately set out to arrange for the people in the city to gather towards the inner city. In any case, we must stick to Guangze and send news!"

Xi Wuliang was a little confused and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, are you going to attract the Yuan army from the city? How did you make this happen?"

Zhao Dongting said: "What can't be done? With all my seniors protecting me, are you still worried that I will encounter an unexpected situation?"

As he said that, he nodded to Yuanmako and others, and walked towards the street.

Get on the horse.

Wave.

"Everyone comes out of the city!"

Yuan Zhenzi, Kumano and two hundred light cavalry followed Zhao Dongting and headed straight towards the East City Gate.
