Chapter 170 The Battle of Pingnan (Part 2)
Chapter 170 Battle of Pingnan (Central)
A Mongolian general said, "Master General, the marshal asked me to take Pingnan quickly, and we must not let them into the city."
"No, no, no."
However, Jesul waved his hand, "The Marshal ordered me to take Pingnan quickly because he was worried that this Song army would go north to invade Jingjiang Mansion. Now that the Song army has arrived, we have no need to attack Pingnan for forcing him. According to our general's opinion, it is better to let them enter the city and let them join. When the Marshal sends reinforcements over, we will attack the city in large quantities and wipe out the Song army and the Xingguo army."
"Hey."
As he said that, he suddenly laughed again, "I heard that the little emperor of the Song Dynasty went on an imperial battle and the people were in this army. As long as you take down Pingnan, the Song Dynasty will be destroyed."
But even so, not long after, the Yuan army continued to reorganize and leave the camp, waiting for the front and left side of the barracks, and were all cavalrymen who were good at rushing.
Although Jesul was crazi and strong, he had been with Ali Hague for many years and was highly valued. He was not without reason to command nearly 100,000 troops and horses. He was cautious by nature, and although he intended to let the Southern Song army enter the city, he was also guarding against the Song army attacking the camp.
In the evening, Su Quandang led more than 20,000 soldiers outside the east gate of Depingnan County. Wherever the army passed, the road was trampled into mud.
Su Quandang used a telescope to see the integrity of the Yuan army's personal soldiers, and sighed in his heart that this Jesul was difficult to deal with.
But at this time the three armies had moved, and Zhao Dongting had led the flying dragon soldiers to approach the Yuan camp quietly. Even if the Yuan army was prepared, they had to force themselves.
"Go and invite General Yue to come."
Su Quandang calmed down his mind, ordered the army to stop and ordered the personal soldiers beside him.
The personal soldiers took the order and left.
On the top of the city, the soldiers of Xingguo Army were all very happy when they saw the soldiers of the Song Dynasty coming to the city with bright armor.
Wen Tianxiang was so angry that he was awakened. Although he was still ill in bed. He was so excited that he was filled with his eyes when he heard the emperor's arrival.
Tens of thousands of people in Pingnan City can finally be temporarily spared from disaster.
Yue Peng rode his horse and got Su Quan closer and asked, "General Su, what's the matter?"
Su Quandang said, "General Yue, you have to trouble you to enter the city in person and notify the military order. When my drum sounds, lead your army out of the northern gate!"
"good!"
Yue Peng knew that the formation was about to be started, but his heart was filled with passion and led a few soldiers to run towards the east gate.
Du Hu saw that it was Yue Peng from afar and shouted: "Hurry down the suspension bridge and let General Yue enter the city!"
The west of Pingnan County is surrounded by water on both sides of the south, and a large river flows by. Wen Tianxiang, a anti-Yuan army, had already dug the river channel to the east and north sides. The river channel is five meters wide and four meters deep, and the mud and water are turbid. If the suspension bridge is not placed, Yue Peng's horse will not be able to rush into the city no matter how fast it is.
The horse's hooves stepped on the bridge, making a thud.
Countless rotten corpses floated in the moat, and waves of stench came to your nose.
If Yue Peng had never heard of it, he would ride his horse to the city.
Du Hu had already arrived at the city gate and waited. When he saw Yue Pengma arrive, he bowed and smiled, "General Yue, you are here at the right time! Haha!"
In the past few days, the Yuan army has sieged the city at all costs. Although the number of soldiers and generals has been reduced by more than 20,000, the army defending the city and Xingguo has also suffered a lot.
Up to now, the more than 30,000 national troops led by Wen Tianxiangyuan to Guangxi, only less than 20,000 were left. If the Southern Song and Yuan troops were not yet, and the Yuan army attacked the city again, even Du Hu himself was nervous and did not think how long could Pingnan County last.
Looking around, the city walls are full of holes.
These are traces of troubled times, traces of blood and tears.
Yue Peng bowed to Du Hu, but did not dismount, but said in a hurry: "President Du quickly took me to the military order. I have something to do to report to you!"
"good!"
Du Hu's expression immediately became serious, he turned over and drove Yue Peng into the city.
When they arrived at the government office, they saw Wen Tianxiang who was ill in bed in Wen Tianxiang's bedroom.
Wen Tianxiang worked hard all day long and rarely rested after leading his army to Guangxi. Now he suddenly fell ill and looked thin, just like a haggard old man.
"Military Order!"
Yue Peng went to the bed and looked at Wen Tianxiang's appearance. He felt uncomfortable and held Wen Tianxiang's hand tightly.
Wen Tianxiang smiled, "I'm fine, General Yue, where is the emperor?"
He naturally knew about Zhao Dongting's imperial guards going to war. These days, besides being sad, he was more worried about Zhao Dongting's safety.
If Zhao Dongting is there, the Southern Song Dynasty will not be considered dead. If Zhao Dongting dies, the Southern Song Dynasty will almost be equivalent to death.
"The Emperor..."
Yue Peng opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. If Wen Tianxiang knew that Zhao Dongting led the Feilong Army to attack the camp, he would be shocked and angry again, which would make him feel bad.
Wen Tianxiang had such a good eye. Seeing Yue Peng like this, he was not aware of it. He coughed twice and asked, "What's wrong with the emperor?"
Seeing his sick flush on his face, Yue Peng was even more reluctant to say it, and said, "The Emperor is in charge of the Central Army!"
Then he said repeatedly: "Military order, I came to the city with a mission. Our army has already prepared for war at the east gate of the county town. If you hear the drum sound later, please order the Xingguo army to open the north gate. Our army will attack the left wing of the Yuan army. You will attack the front of the Yuan army. The two respond to each other and defeat the Yuan army."
This matter finally slid Zhao Dongting's affairs. Wen Tianxiang frowned slightly and said, "We are short of troops, can we defeat the Yuan army?"
Yue Peng said: "Our army has already had surprise troops approaching the enemy camp first, and will surprise attack the Yuan army commander camp at that time!"
Wen Tianxiang thought about it again and nodded, "Okay! Since the emperor has already made plans, the old minister should take the order to act."
Yue Peng asked Wen Tianxiang to take good care of his health, and then he rode away from Pingnan County again.
The soldiers of Xingguo Army in the county quickly became busy and were in full swing.
In less than half an hour, the Song army in the East Gate took the lead in action and the army slowly leaned towards the Yuan army camp.
Jesul was quite surprised to learn that the Song army had actually approached in the camp, "Do they still want to turn defense into offense?"
A general snorted: "Main General, as far as the last general is concerned, they have only won a few victories, so they have no idea that the sky is high and the earth is thick. Our Yuan cavalry is already on the left wing. If they dare to rush, our army will definitely kill them without leaving any armor!"
Jesul himself didn't think there was any loophole in his arrangement. He nodded slightly when he heard this, "Tell the three armies to prepare for war!"
"yes!"
The generals in the camp took the orders.
Jesul waved his hand, and there were beautiful dancers on both sides of the self-operated camp and danced gracefully.
The sound of silk and bamboo is endless.
Now that the Yuan Dynasty is vast and its military strength is extremely strong, these veterans who have fought for many years have learned to enjoy it more and more.
