Chapter 182 Decisive battle against the South (2)

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

Su Quandang immediately frowned. Le Wuchen, Yue Peng, Dongheli and others looked bad, because they had all seen Qin Han's powerful military use.

That guy's brain is really worthy of being a hundred thousand soldiers.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little solemn.

Perhaps, Qin Han would be proud of his words when he saw this scene. It is obvious that the fear of the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty was more serious than that of Ali Hague. It is said that knowing oneself and his enemy will never be defeated in a hundred battles, but people like Qin Han will only be more heartbroken. His use of military tactics and strategic planning on the battlefield are too easy for people to feel helpless.

Zhao Dongting thought about it, but still felt that Qin Han would have expected any method he chose. The generals in the hall frowned, and probably felt that this was the same. This made Zhao Dongting regret it. If he had known today, he would have found a reason to wipe Qin Han off.

After a few minutes, no one was talking in the hall.

Zhao Dongting felt that this would not work. Before the fight started, Qin Han was suspicious. He immediately coughed twice and said, "Don't be too suspicious. In the secret letter, it was said that Wanyan Zhang's troops were stationed in Cangwu, and there was no movement. They had just surrendered, and Ali Hague could not believe them all, and Qin Han might not be able to offer any strategy."

Being cowardly before fighting is a big taboo.

Wen Tianxiang only heard about Qin Han's deeds, but was not so afraid. Hearing this, he said, "Your Majesty, then we might as well act according to General Su's plan first, and then make adjustments to the trends of the Yuan army."

"Um!"

Zhao Dongting nodded, and could not think of any other way at the moment, saying, "Then let all the people look around and continue to monitor. If there is a person who dares to run within a hundred miles of Pingnan County without eyes, let the cavalry kill them first so as to rub their spirits. If Ali Hague gathers troops and then comes to fight, we will slowly consume his troops based on this Pingnan County. If there is any change, try to break through."

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

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

It is inevitable to defend the city. Even if the cavalry attacks, it is impossible to destroy all the Ali Hague troops. To defend the city, it is necessary to repair the city walls, strengthen the city gates, prepare various city defense equipment, tools, etc. The matter is actually very cumbersome. Before, Zhao Dongting and others took the initiative to attack and did not prepare for defending the city. At this time, it was obvious that there was some time to be urgent.

Pingnan County is getting hotter.

Countless people spontaneously went outside the military camp to ask for orders to help soldiers carry equipment to guard the city, repair the city walls, etc., just like Zhao Dongting helped them repair their houses and distribute military rations when he led his army into the city.

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

This has passed seven days.

Pingnan County is still preparing for war intensively. The Intelligence Department has compiled secret letters to Zhao Dongting every day. Zhao Dongting only practices martial arts, reads books, and practices art in the room every day. He wants Le Chan, who is closest to him, and even Le Wuqian, Zhao Da, Zhao Hu and others don’t know whether he is anxious or not.

It was not until this day that the Information Department submitted a secret message to the courtyard where Zhao Dongting lived, and Zhao Dongting suddenly took Le Wugong to hurriedly leave and headed to the main hall of the government office. The Yuan army advanced troops had arrived and were stationed in Pingdan Post not far from Pingnan County. Judging from the situation, the Yuan army obviously planned to gather in Pingdan Post and then launch a large-scale attack.

In ancient times, warfare was usually backed by cities, because only by staying in cities could we ensure logistics, military strength and other supplies.

It only takes a few days to fight in the wild.

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 of the Yuan army has gathered at Pingdan Post. How do you think our army should deal with it?"

Pingdan Post was originally the garrison of the Song army, and the distance to Pingnan was about the same as from Hanjin County to Pingnan.

If you march at a very fast speed, you can reach the city of Pingnan in just a few days, and the cavalry will be faster.

It can be said that a war is imminent.

The generals looked serious and pondered, but no one spoke.

Wen Tianxiang carefully looked at the superstition in his hand and handed it to Su Quandang next to him.

After all the generals saw it, Yue Peng said angrily: "Your Majesty, the last general asks to send troops, go and kill them first and then talk about it!"

Zhao Dongting closed his eyes slightly: "Do you think this method is feasible or not?"

Su Quandang said, "Your Majesty, I think it's better to go to explore the real and real Yuan army first. However, this trip is probably not enough to stop most of the troops from coming, so as not to be dragged by the enemy at the same time, and then you will fall into a passive position."

Yue Peng said: "I can lead the guards to go with the horse army."

Zhao Dongting waved his hand, but asked: "How are the food, sky-blasting thunder, landmines and other weapons transported from Leizhou?"

The sky-blasting thunder is also a new weapon developed by Zhao Dongting during the nearly two months of rest in Leizhou. It is said that it is a new type, but it is actually a slight transformation of the porcelain jar and a filling of iron sheets, gravel and other things in the porcelain jar, and then the ratio of the medicine induced is slightly changed, which extends the time of the mines, which is similar to that of the grenade.

Zhao Dongting did not want to use too many new things before, but the attack of the Ali Hague army would inevitably be a fierce battle, so he had to let Leizhou send the sky-booming thunder. As for the changes such as landmines, grenade launchers, sky-booming thunder and other firearms would cause in the future, he now doesn't care.

The official in charge of logistics in the army replied: "When you return to the emperor, all the food and grass have been put into the warehouse, and the mines have been distributed to the soldiers."

Yue Peng followed and said, "It's now buried everywhere outside the city."

Zhao Dongting nodded again and said, "Okay, then General Yue, you will lead the guards' personal army to Pingdan Post to test the enemy. I will give you two hundred thunders on the sky. Remember, don't fight in love. No matter what the result of the battle, after throwing all the thunders on the sky into Pingdan Post, you will immediately lead your troops back!"

"yes!"

Yue Peng bowed to take the order, and then hurried out to the hall.

Zhao Dongting looked at Wen Tianxiang, Su Quandang and others again, and said, "The soldiers in the city are divided into two parts. The Divine Beggar Army is a new soldier. He will first serve as a reserve officer and practice diligently. He will make plans until the Yuan army attacks the city."

"The last general takes the order."

Dongheli, the commander of the Divine Beggar Army, also bowed to accept the order. Now, the Divine Beggar Army has more than 20,000 soldiers.

Zhao Dongting didn't want to send all his troops to the city wall to prevent accidents. Furthermore, Pingnan County is only so big, and there is basically no need to defend the west and south sides, and it is impossible for too many soldiers to be allowed on the city wall.
