Chapter 47 Rebooting the Army (2)

They have seen traps, but have never seen such wars.

Just burying traps and not even showing up, what's going on?

Before he could take a few steps, the ground in front suddenly collapsed, and some soldiers fell to the ground and were poked into sieve by sharpened tree trunks. After taking a few more steps, the ground in front collapsed again, and many soldiers were lost. It was even more exaggerated to take a few more steps. The ground suddenly exploded, directly blowing many soldiers into corpses.

How can I fight this battle?

They still have ways to deal with ordinary traps, but they are helpless when facing landmines.

After killing a few soldiers in the other traps, they will be exposed. You can go around and explode when the mines hit. How can you avoid them?

The commanders of each army looked at the high palace and felt that the road was so long and difficult.

Among them, the commander-in-chief, who was protecting the army, was even more obsessed with the order and was blown to pieces before he could go far. Now he is commanded by the commander-in-chief.

But Ge Zhizhou ordered them to go straight to the palace no matter what they encountered. Listening to the war drums resounding continuously, don't mention how frustrated these commanders were.

They stumbled all the way, and did not kill the enemy, and they first damaged themselves a lot. The morale of these troops was naturally also sluggish.

Not long after, many generals and soldiers who did not want to rebel against the Song Dynasty had a little hesitation in their eyes.

They didn't want to rebel against Song, but because of the general trend, they had to join the war. When they thought they wanted to attack and kill the emperor, they felt that they would not leave a good reputation even if they died like this. So these people retreated more and more, and did not forget to pull away three or two of their friends.

This undoubtedly slowed down the marching speed greatly, but even if the generals kept shouting and drumming, it was useless.

Ge Lijun had all the calculations, but in the end he missed one thing.

Originally, the Southern Song Dynasty court was cowardly and fled for years, which led to the miserable life of the people. These soldiers no longer had any expectations for the court, and it didn't matter if they surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty. However, a few days ago, Zhao Dongting broke the Yuan army, and this incident had already spread in Leizhou Prefecture, and it was even so amazing. There was also the incident of the Huanglong appearing auspiciously a few days ago, which made the people see hope again and have some expectations for the Southern Song Dynasty court.

The families of the Leizhou soldiers are all people, how could they not be affected?

If it were not forbidden, who would want to treason?

During the Southern Song Dynasty, the cohesion of the court was still quite high, otherwise famous generals such as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong would not have emerged.

Therefore, the speed of the various military horses should be as slow as possible.

The radius of Benzhou Island is only more than fifty square kilometers, but when these troops pressed to the foot of Xinggong Mountain, it was almost noon.

Ge Lijun heard the scouts come back to report military information, but he almost got angry to death.

The four people alone ended up at the foot of Xinggong Mountain, and nearly 10,000 people were lost. It is conceivable how dense the Song army had trapped.

The Flying Army even didn't even come back with a scout.

Ge Lijun felt uneasy and knew that Liu Hongyi was afraid that Mo would rebel, but he did not say this. Not long ago, he told the military advisor confidently that Liu Hongyi would definitely not dare to rebel. Now that he said it, isn’t it slap himself in the face?

"Beat the drum! Beat the drum!"

He felt depressed, and Ge Lijun shouted angrily at the soldiers who were beating the drums again.

The commanders of the various armies were anxious when they heard the drums, and they even complained, but they had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to urge the soldiers to attack.

Before the battle officially began, they were a little worried that the soldiers would mutiny.

On the other end of the island, the Flying Army sat on the beach to rest.

Speaking of which, Liu Hongyi and his soldiers were finished boarding the ship and were about to kill him, the people sent by Yang Yidong to communicate finally arrived.

The scouts were wearing several flags on their backs. When they arrived at the beach, they just saw Liu Hongyi's army going to set off, and quickly shouted: "General Liu, wait! General Liu, wait!"

Liu Hongyi saw that the scouts were all wearing Song army imperial uniforms on the boat, and hurriedly asked the messengers to call the gold.

The warship that had been slowly set off stopped again and threw the anchor into the sea.

Liu Hongyi stood at the bow of the boat and asked, "Who are you waiting for?"

A team of scouts ran directly into the sea, and the head of the army replied: "We are the scouts of the guards and infantry, are you General Liu Hongyi and Liu?"

Liu Hongyi nodded and said, "That's right."

The scout Shi Chang said again: "The emperor saw that the Flying Army was not attacking. Knowing that General Liu was coming, he specially ordered us to come and inform General Liu, and asked General Liu to lead the army and rest here first."

As a general, Liu Hongyi naturally had no doubts. He looked at the direction of the palace and said in confusion: "Our army is still so far away from the palace, how could the emperor know that it was my flying army?"

The scout Shi took out a pair of monoculars from his arms and threw them at Liu Hongyi, "Look at General!"

This telescope was borrowed by Yang Yidong from the commander of the Imperial Guard from the commander of the Imperial Guard.

Liu Hongyi took the telescope and put it in front of him as he looked at it. He was shocked, "There is such a strange thing in the world?"

The scout said proudly: "This was made by the emperor himself, called Qianliyan, and everyone in our army has it."

"Made by the Emperor?"

Liu Hongyi couldn't help but become even more surprised and no longer doubted these scouts.

There is no such thing as telescope in the Leizhou army.
