Chapter 68 Rebooting the Army (5)
Chapter 68 Recruiting the Frontier (Five)
Zhao Dongting shook his head gently, "I don't want to see the Queen Mother, you and my soldiers have lost their lives in vain. If you surrender, you may still have a way out."
As he was speaking, Yue Peng had already returned and bowed: "Your Majesty, the last general has summoned 500 elite troops and can leave the city at any time."
Zhao Dongting stopped talking, jumped off the wall and walked towards Yue Peng.
A few minutes later, the southern city gate suspension bridge slowly lowered, making a squeaking sound.
Five hundred shield-carried cavalry protected Zhao Dongting and galloped outside the city.
Yue Peng took the lead, holding a silver spear, majestic.
Zhao Dongting was protected in the middle, but was lying in Le Chan's arms.
Le Chan, Le Wu, and Ying Er were all going out of the city, but he couldn't stop him. He insisted on riding with Le Chan.
It is still unclear whether he can come back alive when he goes out of the city. He just thought that if he dies, he can enjoy Le Chan's arms before his death, and it will not be considered in vain to travel to the Southern Song Dynasty.
When Le Chan saw the little emperor huddled in her arms, she still had a few smiles on her lips, she felt strange in her heart.
She couldn't understand why this little emperor seemed to be particularly close to him, and that feeling seemed to be a kind of dependence.
The soldiers of the two armies of Huzhou had already sat on the ground to rest, but at this time, they saw cavalry leaving the city and stood up in a hurry.
The infantry quickly picked up the weapons on the ground, the cavalry turned over the horse, and the archers pulled the bow for half a month.
The generals looked solemn and prepared to fight.
Although they are not even considered regular soldiers, they have been training for some years. Not to mention their combat effectiveness, they are not slow to react.
After seeing that there were only hundreds of cavalrymen and no one was left afterwards, their expressions gradually relaxed.
In less than two minutes, the five hundred cavalry arrived a hundred meters in front of the two armies.
Yue Peng raised the silver spear in his hand, and the cavalry all tied the reins and stopped the horses, and the army was in a neat manner.
Zhao Dongting asked Le Chan to drive the horse to the front and shouted loudly: "I am the Emperor Zhao Ying of the Song Dynasty. I am the guardian army. Where is the general of the Huzhou army?"
He learned the numbers of these troops from Lu Xiufu's mouth.
The soldiers of Leizhou were stunned when they heard that he was the emperor, but they had already surrendered, so no one took action.
Of course, at that time, few bows could shoot up to a hundred meters.
More than ten generals of the two armies drove their horses to the front of the formation, looking at Zhao Dongting in shock, without saying anything or paying homage.
Zhao Dongting shouted loudly again: "Since you have arrived outside the city, why don't you lead your army to attack the city?"
No one answered the generals who were out of the list. Some of them were loyal and righteous, while others were uncontrollable and forced to do so.
As low-level generals, they were still a little nervous when they saw Zhao Dongting wearing an imperial robe. Although Zhao Dongting was just a child, his imperial robe represented absolute authority.
A few seconds later, someone in the army suddenly shouted: "We are soldiers of the Song Dynasty, how can we turn against the emperor?"
A soldier in the guardian archers formation slowly walked out of the formation, and it was the one-eyed archer who shot Wu Wenli to death by shooting him out of the cold arrow.
What he just shouted made many people sway.
"good!"
Zhao Dongting shouted again, "It seems that even if our Song Dynasty is about to die, there are still many loyal and righteous warriors!"
As he said that, his eyes swept through the two armies, and his voice even higher, "You are my loyal and righteous warriors of the Song Dynasty?"
If this encourages morale and inspires people's hearts, Zhao Dongting is really good at it. What did he rely on to make a living by opening a media company in his previous life? That was to make a living by his mouth!
The newly graduated college students under him were always incited by him to scream.
He shouted out these words, which was loud and loud, and his anger surged into the sky.
Even Le Chan behind him, Le Wu next to him, Li Yuanxiu and others were moved. You can imagine how Leizhou Army, who was already in a predicament, felt.
They only felt a sense of breath in their chests, as if they were not vomiting. They were forced to come to the Imperial Army to attack the Imperial Army, and they felt uncomfortable.
Suddenly, no one knew who was in the army, and suddenly shouted: "Zhang San, a soldier in the Great Song Dynasty, kowtow to the Emperor!"
His shout evoked the loyalty and righteousness in the hearts of countless soldiers.
"Li Si, a soldier in the Song Dynasty,..."
"The Great Song Dynasty protected the soldiers of Wang Wu..."
For a moment, shouting loudly and protecting the soldiers of the two armies of Huzhou knelt on the ground one knee one after another.
Le Chan was overjoyed, and Zhao Dongting also breathed a sigh of relief.
These Leizhou troops were still focused on the Song Dynasty.
When the generals in the front row saw this, they knew that they could not change the overall situation. They turned over and dismounted one after another and knelt down at Zhao Dongting.
Those who wanted to surrender but didn’t want to surrender, and wanted to attack but didn’t dare to attack, are now following the trend.
Zhao Dongting knew that time was tight, so he immediately said, "Okay, then all the warriors will follow me into the city and help me resist the rebels!"
After hearing what he said, some people hesitated, afraid that there would be traps in the city.
But some people have completely decided to turn against each other, stand up, and walk towards the city. Those generals who actually don’t want to surrender dare not stop them.
Zhao Dongting was afraid that something would change if he was slow, so he led the cavalry to rush into the city again.
When I returned to the city gate, I saw that there were already continuous Leizhou soldiers rushing towards the city gate below.
Whether it is ancient people or modern people, there is always an idea of following the crowd. If someone takes the lead, naturally more and more soldiers will enter the city.
Zhang Shijie saw Zhao Dongting persuaded so many Leizhou troops to enter the city in a short time, and his eyes were filled with admiration.
Zhao Dongting spread his palms and looked down. His palms were covered with sweat. Only he knew the nervousness he had just now.
The scouts from the Dinghai Army and the defeated enemy army saw the soldiers from the south entering the city, and quickly reported to the commander, but how dare the commanders of the two armies stop them?
Having seen the power of the mine array, they now don’t even have the courage to get close to the city wall.
They knew that the Guardian Army and the Huzhou Army had a mutiny. Even if they were determined to stop them, they were afraid that they would be killed by the mutiny soldiers.
When Ge Lijun, Zhang Hongfan and others led their troops to the outside of the palace, the outside of the south wall was almost empty.
Ge Lijun was full of doubts and asked the military advisor next to him, "Where is our army?"
The military advisor was also confused and said embarrassedly: "This, this, sir... I don't know either..."
Ge Lijun snorted heavily and was about to send scouts to call the generals of each army to gather, but saw nearly ten cavalry roaring in front of him.
Now outside the entire southern city wall, the generals and soldiers of the Huzhou Army and the Guardian Army are only a thousand.
When they got closer, Ge Lijun saw clearly how many people had arranged for the confidants of the two armies as generals. When they came over, they asked, "Where are your soldiers?"
