969. Manna from heaven

He knew that in the original historical trend, Duan Shi took over the position of Duan Xingzhi's Dali director. Moreover, his people did not have much ambition and were willing to bow down to the Yuan Dynasty.

After a little silence, Zhao Dongting said: "Since you really beg to surrender, then stay in my army first!" ”

Duan Shi probably didn't expect Zhao Dongting to surrender so easily, and he was a little stunned.

There was no surprise on Feng Hebi's face, but he quickly knelt down again: "Descend to Feng Hebi and thank the emperor!" ”

Zhao Dongting nodded lightly, "Restrain the officers and men of your army, and first stationed in this Jiumao Pass." ”

"Yes!"

Feng Hebi gave up his hand, got up slowly, and walked towards the city again.

Duan Shi came back to his senses, looked at Zhao Dongting, and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Zhao Dongting suddenly, "Lord Duan, you will stay by my side first!" ”

Duan Shi was slightly stunned again, only thinking that Zhao Dongting wanted to take him as a hostage, so he didn't say anything more and obediently stayed in the city.

Zhang Jue looked at the Dali soldiers who were gradually gathered again under the city, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, after this battle, our Western Song Dynasty is completely stable. ”

Zhao Dongting nodded and looked towards the west.

Now the domestic forces of Dali and the New Song Dynasty are almost empty, but the pacification of Western Xinjiang is obviously not enough to satisfy his appetite.

Only before that, it is still the top priority to defeat the Yuan army first.

On this night, about 30,000 remaining soldiers of the Dali army surrendered obediently and were guarded by the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army in Jiumao Pass.

After the Dali army from Luoxian Pass and other places also arrived here, there were only corpses left everywhere outside the pass.

Feng Hebi went out with two offerings.

At the head of the city, the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty was in full array, and there were many guns and armor.

In a short time, Feng Hebi persuaded the Dali army in Luoxian Pass and other places that had just arrived.

This is about 20,000 Dali troops who entered the pass after unarmouring.

The number of soldiers in the Jiumao Pass reached 50,000.

There are still more than 20,000 people under Zhang Jue's command, and when the Dali army has no blades and armor, they are not afraid of what chaos they can raise.

Throughout the beginning and end of the Battle of Chenzhou, the Great Song Forbidden Army undoubtedly won a big victory.

Although Zhao Dongting's arrival and the heavy rain were all flukes, no matter what, victory is victory.

The army under the command of Feng Hebi lost nearly 60,000, while the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty only lost less than 8,000. It's not a big win, but what counts as a big win?

After receiving Dali's surrender, Zhao Dongting took Zhang Jue, Ren Wei and others to the Guannei barracks, and Duan Shi, Feng Hebi and other major Dali generals were also called.

As soon as he sat down, Zhao Dongting said bluntly to Feng Hebi and the others: "You are loyal to fight for my Great Song Dynasty, and I will not treat you badly!" It will make you and others more powerful than before. ”

He didn't say those empty words or big words, because he knew in his heart that for these people, rights and status were the most important things in their hearts now.

This sentence alone is enough.

Feng Hebi and the others hurriedly surrendered their hands, "We will die for the emperor." ”

Zhao Dongting just nodded lightly and looked at Duan Shi.

Of course, he didn't believe what Feng Hebi and others said.

If you want people to die, how can it be so easy?

To put it bluntly, they are just helpless to surrender now. I can't say that in the future, when the Great Song Dynasty loses power, they will definitely switch to other countries immediately.

It's just that Zhao Dongting didn't plan to give them such an opportunity.

His eyes stayed on Duan Shi for a few seconds, and Zhao Dongting chuckled: "Duan Wang Ye really plans to bow down to my Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Duan Shi smiled bitterly and said bluntly: "The general of the defeated army has no honor or disgrace...... I just hope that the emperor can spare my life. ”

In order to keep this life, he is afraid that he will also give up, and he doesn't even want this face.

Because he understands that if he doesn't surrender, he'll die nine times out of ten. Even if he was able to return to Dali, the emperor's nephew might not let him go.

Zhao Dongting laughed, and only said in his heart that this was really weak.

Then he said: "The prince is really sincere, and I will not want your life." Maybe, it's not impossible for you to be the head of Dali in the future. ”

When Duan Shi heard this, his eyes suddenly burst into light, and he actually got up and knelt on the ground, shouting: "Duan Shi is willing to saddle the front and back of the emperor before and after!" ”

For him, being the head of Dali is much better than being the prince of Dali. Because, the head of Dali is the sky in Dali, and the prince, in the final analysis, is just a relative of the emperor.

……

Fujian Road, Fuzhou Gushan Yongquan Temple.

Rewind the clock to the afternoon.

The fire lasted for nearly an hour, and gradually spread towards Yongquan Temple.

Although the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army cleaned up a separation zone outside the temple, the surging smoke still choked everyone's tears and snot.

Fortunately, Yongquan Temple is located high enough, otherwise, the smoke alone would have taken the lives of many people.

The old monk Huizhi and the monks still sat cross-legged on the ground and chanted the scriptures.

Gao Tianzong, Che Hongyu and others gradually showed anxious expressions, if this fire continued to spread like this, they might really have to die here.

And at this time, the sky over Fuzhou is also suddenly changing.

Dark clouds gathered suddenly, and a cool breath swept away the original heat.

Heavy rain fell from the sky.

As soon as the rain fell, it was pouring down. Didi hits people's faces, which makes people feel a little painful.

However, no matter how heavy the rain is, it is a rain for the officers and men of the Fuzhou garrison.

All the soldiers looked up at the sky in a daze, and then burst into cheers.

The monks sitting cross-legged on the ground also opened their eyes, quite surprised. At this moment, their belief in the Buddha in their hearts is afraid to be more pious.

The Yuan army under the mountain was stunned.

Originally, the burning mountain burned well, thinking that the Song army on the mountain could be wiped out with this fire alone, but what did he think, God would rain at this time.

Ah Shu's command didn't know how many generals scolded God in their hearts.

No matter how hard you scold, the rain will naturally not stop, and there is a tendency to get bigger and bigger.

The raging flames on the mountain are showing signs of being extinguished.

Ah Shu led the army at the foot of the mountain, and soon they were all drenched in soup.

Although Ah Shu has a chariot to shelter from the rain, his face is also very ugly. Seeing the soldiers standing in the rain, he squinted his eyes slightly and said, "Command the army, surround the mountain, and prepare to attack!" ”

Although the fire seemed to be unable to burn the Song army on the mountain, he still had time to encircle the entire Drum Mountain.

Now in the overall situation, the Yuan army still has the absolute initiative.

"Yes!"

There was a general beside the chariot and the general gave the order to leave.

In a short time, the Yuan army of Bagen and other generals led their soldiers towards the surroundings of Drum Mountain. and encircled the mountain.

Now the foot of the mountain is burned bare.

The ashes of the grass and trees can annihilate the insteps of these Yuan troops.

"Regiment commander, the Yuan army is coming up the mountain!"

On the mountain, there were scouts with binoculars hanging on them, and they hurried to Gao Tianzong and the others.

With a telescope, you can see the movements of the Yuan army under the mountain.

Gao Tianzong didn't go to see it in person, but just looked at Che Hongyu and other group leaders, and said, "Everyone, how do we deal with it?" ”

Che Hongyu frowned and asked the scout: "In which direction did they climb the mountain?" ”

The scout replied, "I see their army passing along the side of the mountain, and I am afraid that it will be ...... Go up the mountain. ”

Che Hongyu groaned slightly, and then looked at Gao Tianzong and the others, "Commanders, there are tens of thousands of people in the Yuan army, and it is not easy for us to hold on." I think the only way to break through is to choose a direction and then deal with them. ”

As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the old monk Huizhi and the others, "Moreover, we have to escort the senior monks in the temple out." ”

Hearing his words, Gao Tianzong nodded closely, "I think Captain Che said it well." ”

Although they have six legions here at the moment, in the face of tens of thousands of troops, it is indeed impossible to defend Yongquan Temple.

After all, there were also thunderstorms in the Yuan army, and the number of grenadiers and cupola cannons in their Fuzhou garrison was very small, far inferior to the forbidden army.

Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is also somewhat different from that of the forbidden army.

At that moment, several generals of the fifth, sixth, eighth, and ninth regiments of the Fuzhou garrison also nodded one after another.

Seeing that the fire was gradually extinguished, the people began to gather the soldiers.

Gao Tianzong walked in front of the old monk Huizhi and asked, "Master, dare to ask if the salutes of the people in the temple have been sorted out?" ”

The old monk Huizhi said: "It has been sorted out." ”

Gao Tianzong said: "Then the master will call all the monks in the temple over, and we will escort you to break out from the west side of the mountain!" ”
