Chapter 401 The situation changes suddenly (2)

Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng were once again appointed as chief and deputy commander by Kublai Khan. They led 150,000 soldiers from Lin'an to capture Leizhou from the sea.

Zhao Dongting didn't know how Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng convinced Kublai Khan, but the 150,000 army attacked Leizhou from Lin'an, which always made the situation in the Southern Song Dynasty worse.

The two information reached him at the same time, which made him anxious as if he was burning his butt.

Just dealing with Boyan and Yesuer was already full of anxiety. At this time, the Southern Song Dynasty did not have any troops to deal with Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng?

He hurriedly announced the generals, but he really had no idea. Whether to withdraw or fight, he needed to make a decision as soon as possible.

Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng were undoubtedly in charge of the opportunity when they attacked Leizhou at this time. Because it was the moment when the Song army had just begun.

It took a long time before someone spoke in the hall.

Dongheli bowed and said, "Your Majesty, why not let us withdraw our troops to defend Leizhou?"

But before Zhao Dongting could speak, Yue Peng said: "There is no natural danger to rely on in Leizhou, and I am afraid it cannot resist so many troops from the Yuan army. Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng's army were 150,000 troops, which was enough to pose a threat to Leizhou. If our army withdraws back to Leizhou, and Boyan and Yesuer lead their troops to pursue it again, our army may be worried about destruction."

"But……"

Dongheli said: "Continue to entangle with the Yuan army here, how can Leizhou resist Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng?"

The palace was silent again.

Suddenly, Qin Han spoke, "If we can end the battle here before Zhang Hongfan, Li Heng and the others arrive in Leizhou, then we still have a chance of winning."

The generals were slightly stunned, and then their faces were bitter again.

Before Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng arrived in Leizhou, how easy is this to end the war?

It doesn’t take much time to get from Lin'an to Leizhou along the coast.

Zhao Dongting pondered slightly and looked at Qin Han, "What do you mean by Mr. Qin?"

Qin Han said in a row: "Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng were defeated by the emperor in Benzhou, and they must be afraid of the emperor. If we can win here, with their always calm character, they may not dare to advance to Leizhou again. Moreover, most of them should be in a turbulent way. The Yuan army was defeated one after another here, and the generals were lost. The Yuan emperor, who has always claimed to win every battle, will inevitably be under pressure from all sides. At that time, it is difficult to say whether he has the courage to take a gamble and let Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng enter Leizhou."

Although the Yuan Dynasty claimed to be millions of elite soldiers, they were all bragging.

In this era, it was quite difficult to have hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers. The Yuan Dynasty had millions of elite soldiers, and most of them were miscellaneous soldiers.

Yesuer and Boyan led their troops to attack the Southern Song Dynasty, and it can be said that they had already dispatched a small number of elite soldiers of the Yuan army.

If Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng added 150,000 yuan, the entire Yuan Dynasty would probably only have hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers left.

Kublai Khan may not be willing to take risks and endure such losses. After all, the Yuan Dynasty was not very stable.

When Zhao Dongting heard Qin Han's words, he felt quite enlightened.

Yes, the Yuan Dynasty's troops were constantly losing. How much money was Kublai Khan willing to spend in order to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty?

You know, after the farce of brothers seizing the throne, the Yuan Dynasty has not fully recovered its vitality until now.

At this moment, Zhao Dongting stopped hesitating and slapped the table and said, "Okay, then we are here to compare with Boyan, Yesuer."

The generals in the hall were a little hesitant.

Dongheli said: "Emperor, if this is the case, our army cannot defeat Boyan in a short time, and Yesuer, then the situation in our dynasty..."

He didn't say it too clearly, but his meaning was revealed.

If the Song army could not be in Zhang Hongfan, Li Heng would defeat Boyan and Yesuer before he arrived in Leizhou. The Song Dynasty would be almost over.

Without Leizhou as the rear, Zhao Dongting and others would become wild grass. On the withered Guangnan West Road, there was no foundation for wrestling the Yuan army. It was a problem of food and grass, which was enough to make them collapse.

And why didn’t Zhao Dongting know this?

He said slowly: "Retreat to Leizhou is a sure death situation. What else can we do?"

His face was also a little helpless.

Even though he was reborn in the Southern Song Dynasty with modern knowledge, he still felt that manpower was exhausted.

When he came, the gap between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty was too big. He had tried his best to this situation.

If it were someone else, even Qin Han would definitely not have the ability to save Yu Kuanglan of the Southern Song Dynasty.

It can be said that the Southern Song Dynasty was able to defeat the Yuan army in less than four years, causing hundreds of thousands of losses to the Yuan army. Most of them were due to the firearms invented by Zhao Dongting. However, now he can only make these firearms.

Aircraft? Missile?

Not to mention that he was just an ordinary person in his previous life, even a military scientist could not create it with the technological background of this era, right?

In the hall, Yue Peng suddenly stood up and said, "War as soon as possible, I agree with the emperor's idea and am willing to be the vanguard and take the lead."

"nonsense!"

Zhao Dongting was amused and laughed and cried when he heard this, "When did I ask you to get a sacrificial life? Then wouldn't you go to die?"

He pointed to the sand table in the hall and said, "Now, our army soldiers in Tengzhou, except for us in Cenxi, the rest of the soldiers have completely dispersed. To destroy the Yuan army, I think we should disperse the Yuan army's forces and then concentrate our efforts to encircle and annihilate them one by one. Only in this way can our army have a chance of victory."

He thought, wasn’t that the fight was the only one who fought when he was fighting against Japan?

When he decided on Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Jue's major policy before, he also said so. But he was not so urgent at that time.

Su Quandang heard the string sound and knew the elegant meaning, and said, "What the emperor means is that we should take Su'e Town first?"

They have naturally received a letter from Jin Hao's army and learned about the Yuan army rushing to Su'e Town.

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly, "Well, I want to give them a 10th regiment battle first. Let them see the power of our army's guerrilla tactics!"

As he said that, he reached out and pulled up more than ten small red flags surrounding Hanjin County on the sand table, and then inserted them into Hanjin County, and said, "Before the Yuan army has made other moves, we will destroy the Yuan army occupying Su'e Town with thunder!"

All the generals' faces were slightly stern, although their eyes showed surprise.

If more than ten divisions and troops were really as Zhao Dongting said, and as the firearms in their army were to destroy the Yuan army, it would be said to have taken things out.

Then, Yue Peng said: "Your Majesty, what should I do if the Yuan army coming straight towards us Cenxi?"

"retreat."
