There is a reason why Zhao Yu looks ugly.

Because he received the secret letter flying from Encheng Prefecture, he already knew at this moment that Encheng Prefecture had also been taken by the Song army.

In other words, the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army was divided into three routes, two of which were like a bamboo. In Yongzhou, he doesn't have much hope of holding on.

Unless, he can wipe out Zhang Jue's army with a thunderous force in the battle of Hengshanzhai. In this way, it may be possible to turn defeat into victory.

Otherwise, when the overall situation of the left and right roads has been decided, his horizontal cottage will also become a dead place.

But looking at the banners stretching outside the city, the morale of the Great Song Forbidden Army was like a rainbow, but Zhao Yu really had no confidence in his heart. It would be too difficult to destroy such an elite in a short period of time.

The reason why he is still here may not be because he still has the idea of destroying the Great Song Dynasty and snatching the throne of Zhao Dongting, but because he really believes Yu Linglong's words.

If the rebellion fails, going to Shuzhong to be a puppet emperor is a better choice than going to the Yue Li Dynasty to endure hardships.

He spared no effort to consume the national strength of the Song Dynasty here, and when he went to Shu in the future, he could also be more courteous to the lord of Shu.

It is conceivable that if he has contributed to Shuzhong and has not contributed to Shuzhong, the treatment he will enjoy in the future will obviously be completely different.

Zhao Yu was aggrieved, but he was helpless.

He looked at the black and oppressive Great Song Forbidden Army under the city, and suddenly looked back at the city, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Let this Yongzhou become a stepping stone for me Zhao Yu to enjoy the glory in Shu......"

Of course, he may not have the intention of being angry with Zhao Dongting.

He had always been covered by Zhao Dongting before, and he was very jealous in his heart. Now that he is about to be defeated by the Song army, he is even more unwilling and hateful in his heart.

It's just that he obviously didn't know that at this time, the Great Song Emperor, who was like an impassable mountain in his heart, was staring at him in the army under the city.

Zhao Dongting was next to Zhang Jue, wearing the silver armor of his own soldiers, and sat on a horse. His eyes looked at Zhao Yu at the head of the city very complicatedly.

He tried his best to avoid fratricidal confrontation with Zhao Hao, but he didn't think that now he finally came to this point.

Zhang Jue also looked at the city, and asked Zhao Dongting softly: "Your Majesty, do we want to attack the city now?" ”

"Let's go as planned!"

Zhao Dongting shook his head slightly.

With the Flying Army here, it is easy to break the city. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the Flying Army is dispatched, it will be able to break through Hengshanzhai in just a few tens of minutes.

No matter how high the wall of Hengshanzhai is, it can't stop the hot air balloon.

However, at this time there were many people in the city who were taken hostage. Zhao Dongting was naturally reluctant to use the Flying Army.

As for the city, it must be a similar situation. The defenders of the city were either already hiding or taking the people hostage.

Zhang Jue nodded, "Then I'll arrange for the soldiers to camp on the spot!" ”

"Okay."

Zhao Dongting looked around, and said with a deep face: "Let's camp here, but we want to see what kind of strength those armies under Zhao Yu have to eat us." ”

Outside the north gate of Hengshanzhai is a depression. This kind of terrain is definitely not easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Zhao Dongting just wants to take root here.

20,000 forbidden troops gave him infinite confidence in his heart.

"Set up camp!"

Zhang Jue ordered.

The war drums beat in the army.

Knock knock, knock knock. The drums are rhythmic.

The soldiers who were densely packed behind quickly dispersed in groups. Then, in a short time, a white tent was set up outside the cottage.

There were many Hengshan Cottage guards at the head of the city, all of whom showed a slight surprise.

The Great Song Dynasty forbidden army came in a mighty way, and even did not take advantage of the situation to attack the city, but camped outside the city, what kind of fighting is this?

Zhao Hao and Youjiang Dao Jiedu also had doubts on Xiao Zhenghao's faces, and Zhao Hao's brows furrowed slightly.

After looking at the city for a long time, he turned his head and asked Xiao Zhenghao: "General Xiao, do you think the Song army is paralyzing us and others, or does it have other plans?" ”

Xiao Zhenghao pondered for a long time, and then said: "Your Highness, the last general thinks that the Song army should be able to paralyze me and wait!" Set up camp outside the city and act as if they are going to fight a protracted battle, but they may launch a surprise attack on the city. Then Miao Cheng led the army to attack Encheng, wasn't that how he beat it? ”

Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, "But I feel a little uneasy in my heart......"

Xiao Zhenghao hurriedly said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the last general has already made all arrangements in the city. Even if the Song army had elite soldiers, they would not want to break the city easily. ”

Zhao Hao could only sigh lightly, "I hope so!" I'm just worried that the Song army will break through the city in some unexpected way, and when the time comes, there will be no point in our arrangements in various places. ”

He looked into the distance, "Two days." We must hold on to Hengshanzhai for two days, so that this battle can be won. ”

Xiao Zhenghao arched his hand: "Your Highness, rest assured, the last general will swear to protect Hengshanzhai to the death." ”

Zhao Yu showed a smile on his face, "Now this king is by your side." You can rest assured, even if you lose this battle, when you go to Deshu, this king will not let you be wronged. ”

Xiao Zhenghao nodded solemnly, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

The city and the city are facing each other in a very strange way. The city is waiting for battle, but the city is encamped.

Time passes slowly.

For two consecutive days, the Hengshanzhai did not ignite the flames of war.

Zhang Hongwei's left army led a large army to the territory of Temo Road and did not encounter any resistance.

Miao Cheng's right army has also broken through Sien City and is continuing to march towards Yongzhou.

In the past two days, Zhao Dongting and Zhang Jue were in the camp tent and kept receiving letters.

They passed along the way, and the guards of the cities who had not resisted were now converging towards Hengshanzhai.

Judging from the whole situation, their 20,000 people were completely surrounded by the Yongzhou rebels.

How many people Zhao Hao has attracted is still impossible to come up with a specific number, but if you think about the addition of the guards of more than ten cities, and the many chaotic troops gathered in Hengshanzhai, it must be 30,000 people, and maybe even 40,000.

The private soldiers in Yongzhou were inconspicuous, but now they are gathered, but they are definitely a force to be reckoned with. At least quantitatively.

However, Zhao Dongting and Zhang Jue did not have the slightest intention of storming Hengshanzhai before the chaotic army arrived.

Letters continued to be delivered to the camp, but the two were still sitting upright on the Diaoyutai platform.

On this day, the scouts who came to report were the scouts who had gone out to investigate.

The scout ran into Zhang Jueshuai's tent and said to Zhang Jue: "Marshal, there are more than 2,000 rebels in the north who are only twenty miles away from our army's camp!" ”

Then, there were scouts who continued to report to his tent, and there was almost an endless stream.

"Marshal, the rebels in the north are only fifteen miles away from our army's camp!"

"Marshal, there are also rebels arriving in the west, and it is about seventeen miles away from our army's camp!"

"Marshal, there are more than a thousand rebels thirty miles to the north converging towards our army!"

In the handsome tent, Zhang Jue, Jun Tianfang, Zhao Dongting, Yue Yue, Hong Wutian, Kumano and others were all inside.

Listening to the successive reports of these scouts, even Jun Tianfang, Yue Yue and the others all showed a slightly worried look on their faces.

Although these rebels are not many in number, they add up to a bit of bluffing.

However, the smile on Zhao Dongting's face became stronger and stronger, and he became more and more calm.

He just played chess and drank with Hong Wutian and others, and he didn't have the consciousness to face a big war at all.

And as the rebels got closer and closer to the camp, even Zhang Jue was a little uneasy, "Your Majesty, don't we really need to take any precautions?" ”

"That's enough."

Zhao Dongting chuckled and said, "There are those trenches outside the city, it's enough." The military plane ordered you to only need to get enough bullets and bombardment detonators for the soldiers. ”

Zhang Jue was a little puzzled, but he could only nod.

He didn't know what was wrong with the trenches that Zhao Dongting had his soldiers dig outside the camp.

After all, in this era, there are really few examples of trench warfare, unless it is a moat.

In the city, Zhao Yu has now rushed to the head of the city.

However, unlike two days ago, in addition to doubts, there was a faint joy in his eyes that could not be concealed.

In the past two days, the Song army outside the city did not make any moves to attack the city, so that his army formed an encirclement trend.

Of course, he knew that Song Jun was doing it on purpose, but he also felt that Zhang Jue was too arrogant.

Could it be that Zhang Jue felt that 20,000 forbidden troops would definitely be able to stop his close to 40,000 soldiers?

Zhao Yu was secretly ruthless in his heart, wanting to make Zhang Jue pay the price for his arrogance.

"The Flying Army?"

Zhao Hao sneered in his heart, "Zhang Jue, don't think that if you have a flying army, you will be invincible." ”

Shuzhong has been colluding with him for a long time, and it is obvious that there are also hot air balloons in this Hengshan cottage. It's just that Zhao Yu almost didn't mention this to anyone.
