Pingnan County is getting hotter and hotter.

Hundreds of people spontaneously went to the barracks to ask for orders, helping the soldiers to carry the equipment for defending the city, repair the city walls, etc., just like Zhao Dongting helped them repair their houses and distribute military rations when they first led the army into the city.

What a scene of harmony between the military and the people.

And so it passed for another seven days.

Pingnan County is still preparing for war, and the Intelligence Department has sorted out secret letters and sent them to Zhao Dongting every day, and Zhao Dongting just practices martial arts, reads, practices Chinese techniques, and wants to be happy every day, and even the closest to him Le Wufu, Zhao Da, Zhao Hu and others don't know whether he is in a hurry or not.

It wasn't until this day that another secret letter from the Intelligence Department was presented to the courtyard where Zhao Dongting lived, and Zhao Dongting suddenly left in a hurry with Le for free and went to the main hall of the mansion. The advance army of the Yuan army has arrived and is stationed in Pingdan Station, not far from Pingnan County. Judging by the situation, the Yuan army obviously planned to assemble at Pingdanyi and then attack in a big way.

In ancient warfare, there was usually a city as a backing, because only by staying in the city could logistics, troops and other supplies be guaranteed.

Actually fighting in the field, in fact, is a matter of days at most.

Soon, all the generals were announced to the main hall.

Zhao Dongting stood in the hall, handed the secret letter in his hand to Wen Tianxiang, and said to everyone: "The vanguard cavalry unit of the Yuan army has gathered at Pingdanyi, how do you think our army should respond?" ”

Pingdanyi was originally the garrison of the Song army, and the distance to Pingnan was about the same as that from Rongjin County to Pingnan.

If you march at a high speed, you can reach the southern city of Deping in a few days, and the cavalry is faster.

It can be said that the big war is already imminent.

The generals all had serious faces and groaned, but no one made a sound.

Wen Tianxiang read the superstition in his hand carefully, and then handed it to Su Quandang next to him.

After all the generals had seen it, Yue Peng said angrily: "Your Majesty, the last general asks for troops, go and kill them first!" ”

Zhao Dongting closed his eyes slightly: "Do you think this method is feasible?" ”

Su Quandang said: "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that it is better to go to explore the reality of the Yuan Army first. However, I am afraid that I can't send most of the soldiers and horses to go on this trip, so as not to be dragged by the enemy when the time comes, and then we will fall into passivity. ”

Yue Peng said: "I can lead the guards and the pro-army horse army to go." ”

Zhao Dongting waved his hand, but asked, "What happened to the grain and grass and weapons such as thunder and mines transported from Leizhou?" ”

The thunder is also a new type of weapon developed by Zhao Dongting during the nearly two months of recuperation in Leizhou. It is said that it is a new type, but in fact, the porcelain jar mine is slightly modified, and the porcelain jar is filled with some iron pieces, gravel and other things, and then the ratio of the medicine is slightly changed, so that the triggering time of the mine is prolonged, which is similar to that of a grenade.

Zhao Dongting didn't want to use too many new things before, but when Ali The Hague army came to attack, it was bound to be a fierce battle, and he had to let Leizhou send the thunder over. As for what changes will happen to the world in the future, such as landmines, grenadiers, and thunderbolts, he can't care about what will happen to the world.

The officer in charge of logistics in the army replied: "Back to the emperor, all the grain and grass have been put into the warehouse, and the mines have been distributed to the soldiers. ”

Yue Peng followed closely and said, "Now it is buried in various places outside the city. ”

Zhao Dongting nodded again, and said: "Okay, then General Yue, you will lead the guards and horses to the Pingdan Post to test the enemy, and I will give you two hundred thunderbolts, remember, you can't fall in love with the battle, no matter what the result is, after throwing all the thunderbolts into the Pingdan Station, you will immediately lead the troops back!" ”

"Yes!"

Yue Peng bowed down to receive the order, and then hurried to the outside of the hall.

Zhao Dongting looked at Wen Tianxiang and Su Quandang and the others again, and said: "The soldiers in the city are divided into two parts, and the beggar army is a new pawn, first as a reserve, practice diligently, and then make plans when the Yuan army attacks the city." ”

"The last general commands."

The commander of the beggar army, Dongheli, also bowed down to receive the order. Now, there are more than 20,000 soldiers in the beggar army.

Zhao Dongting didn't want to send all his men and horses to the city in case of accidents. Moreover, the county seat of Pingnan is so big, and there is basically no need to defend the west and south sides, and it is impossible for the city to accommodate too many soldiers.

From the time of the Tang Dynasty, there were reserves in the army.

In the afternoon, Yue Peng led two thousand guards out of the city. Originally, there were only more than 1,000 people, but this is the latest transfer of 1,000 people from the forbidden army in front of the palace.

In Zhao Dongting's heart, the Flying Dragon Army is a special soldier, and the guards are elite. The forbidden army in front of the palace can be regarded as an elite preparation.

The two thousand guards and pro-army horses all rode on tall horses, with horseshoes nailed to their hooves, and the soldiers carried bags around their waists, which contained five days' dry food. A few are carrying two, dry food on the left and thunder on the right.

It's a complete lightweight.

As soon as he arrived outside the city, Yue Peng shouted loudly, and the soldiers galloped up, and a series of yellow dust rose in the afterglow of the sunset, and then quickly went away.

Zhao Dongting led some flying dragon soldiers to stand at the head of the city, watching Yue Peng lead the army away, and his heart was a little dignified.

He didn't know whether Yue Peng could come back alive after he went.

Although the thunder is extremely powerful, it does not mean that it is invincible. The thunder created by Leizhou is only a thousand, and allocating two hundred to Yue Peng is already Zhao Dongting's best efforts. The Yuan army is powerful, and if you want to defeat this battle, the thunder has a vital role.

When he couldn't see the figures of the troops and horses led by Yue Peng, Zhao Dongting left from the city and went to inspect everywhere.

There is no room for mistakes in defending the city, because if they are caught by the enemy, they are likely to be the winners.

It was getting dark.

On the bank of the Wujiang River, Yue Peng led two thousand soldiers and was still rushing towards Pingdanyi.

He had to attack Pingdanyi before the follow-up troops of the Yuan army arrived at Pingdanyi, or else he would send sheep into the tiger's mouth.

It was not until late at night that the horses stopped, and rested in the woods, and before the camp was set up or the fire was kindled, they ate the dry rations they had brought with them.

The atmosphere in the army was very solemn.

Seeing this, Yue Peng said, "How do the brothers think we compare to the Flying Dragon Army? ”

Someone in the horse army immediately snorted softly.

Originally, they were Zhao Dongting's pro-army, the most elite soldiers in the Southern Song Dynasty, since the establishment of the Flying Dragon Army, the best soldiers were selected from various armies, although they were named under the guards and pro-army, but after all, they still snatched the task of guarding Zhao Dongting, so that they became like forbidden troops.

They are all elite soldiers, although they were not selected for the Flying Dragon Army at the beginning, but who is not unconvinced?

Yue Peng said again: "The Flying Dragon Army dares to ride eight hundred horses into the camp of the Yuan Army and kill the main general of the Yuan Army. ”

"Dare!"

"The head fell off the bowl and the big scar, Lao Tzu let it out!"

Immediately, the soldiers of the guards and horses shouted. The guards followed the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty from Lin'an to Jiezhou, and naturally most of them were hot-blooded.

"Good!"

Yue Peng saw that his morale was gradually high, "Then let's break into it this time, the Yuan army is just a head on his shoulder, and there are fewer of them killed by us?" ”

The soldiers around him couldn't help but laugh.

The originally tense atmosphere finally relaxed a little, and it was no longer so solid.

After that, except for the guards who were guarded, the rest of the soldiers gradually fell asleep. Yue Peng's eyes were closed, but he never fell asleep.

These soldiers only had to worry about whether they would come back alive, but he also had to worry about whether and what kind of victory he would be able to achieve in this battle.

Pingnan County Government Office.

Zhao Dongting sat on the roof of the bedroom, standing upright with a sword next to him, just like Li Yuanxiu did when he protected Zhao Dongting.

The whole scene was rarely quiet, but this silence had a kind of depression before the storm was coming.

Zhao Dongting looked at the north from afar, and suddenly asked, "Senior, if I go to Baicao Valley to snatch Le Chan back, can you promise to marry her to me?" ”

Le's face became a little strange.

He looked down at Zhao Dongting's face, it was really immature, and then said, "This...... Your Majesty, let's wait until this battle is over! ”

Thinking about it, he said again: "The women in Baicao Valley are stubborn, and they are happy to be ...... Even if the emperor goes in person, I'm afraid I may not be able to bring Chan'er back......"

Zhao Dongting and Le Chan's relationship, even he doesn't know how to face it.

Le Chan should have feelings for Zhao Dongting, but she doesn't want to have too much to do with Zhao Dongting.

And Zhao Dongting, he is a wise gentleman and has a lot of courage. Throwing away the identity of the emperor, Le Wuren still admires him very much, but he can appreciate it again, but Zhao Dongting's age is here.

This makes Dele have a lot of worries in his heart.

is that Le Chan is willing to go down the mountain, can she promise her and the emperor?

The situation in the Southern Song Dynasty was still not good after all.

Le is willing to sacrifice his life for the Southern Song Dynasty for free, but this does not mean that he is also willing to let his daughter in. Living a lifeless life in Baicao Valley is a rare peace in this troubled world, if it weren't for this, Le Wuwu would not have recognized Le Chan as the saint of Baicao Valley so easily. He didn't put his daughter in it just because he wanted to kill Murong Chuan.

"Hoo ......"

Zhao Dongting exhaled lightly and said, "The senior is right, these things should be talked about after the war is over......"

He just wants to find Le Chan now, but he can't pull out.

It is impossible for him to abandon these tens of thousands of Southern Song Dynasty soldiers, let alone the hundreds of people in Leizhou and Guangxi.
