Time passed slowly like this, like a white horse passing through a gap, I could feel it, but I couldn't touch it.

In the past month, in late May, the weather on Guangxi South Road suddenly became extremely hot, which made it a little unbearable for the soldiers and civilians who had to come from Lin'an.

But Zhao Dongting was in a good mood.

In the days when I stayed in Pingnan County, the manufacturing speed of various ordnance was greatly accelerated because of the flow of production, and those soldiers who had nowhere to place were also used as coolies to work in various places in Pingnan County.

The most gratifying thing is that since the defeat of the Yuan army, the prestige of the Song army has risen, and there are often civil righteous men who come to Pingnan County to join the army, and some even have hundreds of people, plus those Yuan troops who were surrendered, which greatly made up for the lack of soldiers in the Southern Song Dynasty.

This phenomenon of the people actively joining the army made Zhao Dongting have infinite hope for the recovery of the South Guangxi Road, and also had stronger confidence in the recovery of the Southern Song Dynasty. The land is gone, the problem is not big, what he is most worried about is that the people's heart is gone, the people's heart is gone, and the Southern Song Dynasty really has little hope.

Fortunately, it seems that the Southern Song Dynasty has not yet reached the point where the people's hearts have been lost. In addition to the continuous enlistment of righteous soldiers in Pingnan, there were also righteous troops from all walks of life in other provinces to resist the Yuan Dynasty and block the pace of the Yuan army's destruction of the Song Dynasty.

In Pingnan County, the sound of the entire soldiers' drills resounded endlessly.

Originally, there were more than 20,000 Xingguo troops in the city, plus more than 20,000 soldiers and horses led by Zhao Dongting, as well as more than 10,000 soldiers who surrendered, as well as the righteous army and Youyong who came from all over these days, scattered soldiers and horses, and now there are more than 60,000 soldiers and horses in Pingnan County.

Of these more than 60,000 people, 50,000 are soldiers who can go to the battlefield to fight, and the rest are logistics of various armies, etc., which is definitely an astonishing number.

Zhao Dongting let the soldiers practice all day long, and the logistics stepped up to make siege equipment, arrows, etc., but in fact, he also had plans to enter Jingjiang Mansion.

The Southern Song Dynasty can't afford it, Ali Hague doesn't come to fight him, he has to fight him.

At present, it has been more than half a year since Zhang Hongfan was defeated and retreated to Jinzhou Island, and it is impossible to say that the Yuan court is already fighting hard at this time, preparing to attack Leizhou again. There are only tens of thousands of military horses left in Leizhou, and they may not be able to stop the Yuan army.

Leierzhou is now the base camp, and Zhao Dongting would even rather abandon Guangxi South Road than have any problems in Leizhou.

The sense of oppression of the approaching war was tightly tied to the heads of Zhao Dongting and the generals of the Southern Song Dynasty, and they just wanted to immediately train their soldiers into elite soldiers in a hundred battles.

On this morning, Zhao Dongting gathered the generals in the main hall of the mansion.

He sat on the top, holding a fan in his right hand and fanning himself desperately, but he was still sweating.

Speaking of which, being an emperor is unprecedented in his position, even if Zhao Yu is not dead and has not been possessed by him, he has always stretched out his hands with clothes and opened his mouth with food, and he has never served himself.

However, in the eyes of the generals in the hall, the emperor is leading by example and setting an example for the world, and there is implied admiration in everyone's eyes.

Even Wen Tianxiang, although he was annoyed when he first heard that Zhao Dongting personally led the army to attack the camp, and fiercely admonished Zhao Dongting, he also admired Zhao Dongting very much.

is only more than ten years old, and he already has the wind of Emperor Shenwu.

Downstairs, Wen Tianxiang, Su Quandang, Yue Peng and others were standing, discussing to themselves, talking about how to take Jingjiang Mansion.

Zhao Dongting knew that he could only be regarded as a layman in the military, and he did not intend to dictate this matter without knowing the height of the sky, so he announced these generals to brainstorm and determine the final policy of attacking Jingjiang Mansion.

"Your Majesty! There's military intelligence here! ”

And just when everyone was talking lively, there was a soldier outside the door to report.

Zhao Dongting waved his hand, and Zhao Da, who was standing next to him, hurriedly ran outside the hall to take the secret letter from the soldier, and then ran back and handed it to Zhao Dongting.

These days, the Southern Song Dynasty has sent many people to various states and capitals to keep an eye on the movements of the Yuan army's garrisons in various places.

After taking the letter, his eyes swept over the contents of the letter, and Zhao Dongting's face couldn't help but change slightly. This letter has been integrated and submitted by the Intelligence Department, and it is written that the Yuan army has set out from Jingjiangfu, Zhaozhou, Liuzhou and other prefectures, and is heading straight for Pingnan, and the advance army is afraid that it will not take ten days to reach the outside of Pingnan.

Also, Wanyan Zhangbu led the army to garrison Cangwu, and the Yuan Army's Wuzhou defenders' Gugli Department was still guarding it, and there was no movement.

Zhao Dongting is familiar with the map of South Guangxi Road these days, and when he saw this letter, he quickly figured out what was going on in Cangwu and Wuzhou.

It seems that Ali Hague really can't believe Yan Zhang, which makes Zhao Dongting a little happy in his heart.

The congregation was still talking, but the conversation shifted to speculation about what was written in the letter.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Zhao Dongting waved his fan at the generals under the hall and said: "The secret letter of the Intelligence Department, the general Ali Hague has sent defenders from various states, and he has personally brought 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command to kill me in Pingnan, and there is a great potential for a decisive battle, but we don't need to take the initiative to find trouble with him." ”

Wen Tianxiang and the others were stunned.

Then, Wen Tianxiang said: "Your Majesty, there should be about 130,000 to 150,000 soldiers and horses under Ali Hague, should we take the initiative to attack, or rely on the city to defend it?" ”

Zhao Dongting's eyes flashed with admiration.

Wen Tianxiang fought on the South Guangxi Road, and he really knew the military strength of the Yuan army very well. The figure he guessed was not much different from what the secret letter said. Ali The Hague soldiers and horses, a total of more than 120,000.

What Wen Tianxiang missed, only the bones that were left by Ali Hague to guard Wuzhou and guard against Yan Zhang's department were nearly 10,000 horses.

"What do you think we're going to do?"

Hearing Wen Tianxiang's words, Zhao Dongting kicked the ball to everyone again.

Yue Peng arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the art of war has clouds, ten will surround it, five will attack it, and if you double it, you will be able to fight, the enemy can divide it, if you are less, you can escape it, and if you don't, you can avoid it." Therefore, the small enemy is strong, and the big enemy is also captured. The number of the Yuan army is only twice that of our army, and the last general thinks that if the Yuan army gathers and then attacks, our army should defend it, and use the city to consume the strength of the Yuan army, and then wait for the fighters to counterattack. If the Yuan troops advance in batches, we can take a surprise attack and send cavalry to weaken their forces first with the power of thunder. ”

When the rest of the generals heard Su Quandang say this, they all nodded secretly, and even Wen Tianxiang cast an appreciative look at Su Quandang.

His policy is indeed the most suitable for the current situation, and I have to say that Su Quandang's attainments in the art of war are quite shallow.

"General Su is right." Zhao Dongting also agreed with Su Quandang's policy, "It's just that I still have some worries in my heart. Qin Han and Wan Yanzhang have already surrendered, and I am worried that with Qin Han's strategy, we will expect all of our moves. If we send cavalry at that time, but we end up in a trap, it will be a great damage to morale. ”

Although Ali Hague was guarding against Wanyan Zhang, no one knew whether Qin Han would make trouble in it, and Zhao Dongting had no bottom in his heart.

Su Quan frowned, and the faces of Le Wufeng, Yue Peng, Dongheli and the others were not good-looking, because they had all seen Qin Han's powerful use of soldiers.

That guy's brain is really worthy of 100,000 male soldiers.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little solemn.

Perhaps, Qin Han would be proud to see this scene. Because it is obvious that the Southern Song Dynasty monarchs were even more jealous of him than they were of Ali Hague. It is said that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles, but people like Qin Han will only be more chilling if they know him better. His use of the art of war and his strategy on the battlefield are too easy for people to feel helpless.

Zhao Dongting thought about it left and right, and still felt that whichever way he chose, Qin Han might have expected it, and the generals in the hall frowned, and it was estimated that this was the same feeling. This made Zhao Dongting regret it a little, he knew that today, he should have found a random reason to wipe Qin Han off.

A few minutes passed, and there was still no one in the hall talking.

Zhao Dongting felt that it was not possible to go on like this, and Qin Han was made suspicious before the fight started, and he deliberately coughed twice at the moment, and said: "Don't be too suspicious, after saying in the secret letter, Yan Zhang's department is stationed in Cangwu, and there is no movement. They had just surrendered, Ali Hague couldn't trust them all, and Qin Han might not be able to offer any strategy. ”

Cowardice before fighting is a big taboo.

Wen Tianxiang only heard about Qin Han's deeds, but he was not so jealous, and said: "Your Majesty, then we might as well act according to General Su's strategy first, and then look at the movements of the Yuan army and then make adjustments." ”

"Hmm!"

Zhao Dongting nodded, and couldn't think of any other way at the moment, and said: "Then let all the probes continue to monitor, if there are people and horses who don't have long eyes and dare to run within a hundred miles of Pingnan County first, let the cavalry kill them first, so as to rub their sharpness." If Ali Hague gathers troops to seek war again, we will slowly consume his troops according to this Pingnan county, and if there is an accident, we will try to break through. ”

Although Ali Hague has more than 100,000 troops and horses, it is obviously impossible to besiege Pingnan County, Pingnan County is not an isolated island, there are city gates on all sides, not to mention 100,000, even 200,000, it is difficult to surround Zhao Dongting and them.

In this way, the policy of dealing with the Yuan army was temporarily decided. After that, the generals hurriedly departed and went down to deploy.

Defending the city was inevitable, and even a cavalry attack could not wipe out Ali's Hague army. To defend the city, it is necessary to repair the city walls, strengthen the city gates, prepare various equipment and tools for defending the city, etc., and the matter is actually very cumbersome. Zhao Dongting took the initiative to attack before, and did not prepare to defend the city, so at this time, there was obviously some time short.
