356. The army is near the sea

Dozens of miles north of Haikang County.

The yellow dust filled the sky, and tens of thousands of troops marched forward mightily. The horse army in front of him was shocked by the yellow dust.

Zhao Dongting personally led an army of nearly 100,000, and now he is finally approaching Haikang.

The Qiongzhou Army, the 15th Army such as Tianxian, Tiankui, and Tiangang, and then the Beggar Gang Xinli Tianjie Army had thousands of people, and Song Bitao had 2,000 people, which was more than 45,000 in total. In addition, there are more than 30,000 soldiers from Mengtuo, more than 16,000 soldiers under the command of Tohel, Wang Lei, and Yang Fan, and more than 5,000 soldiers from the Yuan army brought from Duanxi to Xiujiang Town.

The army is only a few thousand miles away.

The army spreads out with no end in sight.

The horse army in front spoke, and the foot soldiers in the back followed. The Song army and the soldiers were staggered to prevent the soldiers from mutiny.

With this kind of military strength, it would have been possible not to take the 50,000 Dali army to heart. But unfortunately, the Yuan army's surrender was obviously not of great use at this time.

Although Meng Tuo has surrendered to the Song Dynasty, who can say that he will not take advantage of the confrontation between Dali and the Great Song Dynasty to defect again?

If he can help the Dali army destroy the Song Dynasty, then his previous mistakes can be offset. I can't say it, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan, has to reward him heavily.

As a result, in the Great Song Army, whether it was Zhao Dongting, Wen Tianxiang and others, they all maintained a defensive mentality against these soldiers.

The ghost genius Qin Han is already extremely feared, if Monto turns his back again, then they are really very likely to capsize in the gutter.

Zhao Dongting has already tasted the bitterness of surrendering twice.

When the army marched, the soldiers were guarded by the Song army with sharp blades at all times, without armor, but only sharing the task of escorting the baggage.

Zhao Dongting sat in the dragon chariot, but he still couldn't help but turn back from time to time, for fear that there would be a mutiny among the pawns behind him.

It's just that when I look back occasionally, I will look at the north in the distance, thinking, I don't know if Le Wuran sent Le Chan back to Baicao Valley safely at this time.

Montato galloped and followed the dragon's side.

In the dragon chariot, in addition to Zhao Dongting, there are Wen Tianxiang, Hong Wutian, and Turandot, the pearl princess of the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhao Dongting didn't plan to kill Turandot, after he tortured her in Xiujiang Town, he was actually quite polite to her, and even let her sit in the carriage during the march of the army, and didn't let her suffer from the bumps of the war horse. After all, this Turandot is still very useful, and the agreement between him and Li Wangyuan is completely based on this Pearl Princess. If Princess Mingzhu died, it would be difficult to say whether Li Wangyuan would raise troops to help Song Kangyuan.

Princess Mingzhu gradually recovered her temperament, and often couldn't help but open the curtains.

It's just that after lifting the curtains, she just scolded Monto who was riding a horse outside, dog slaves, cheap slaves, and so on.

Mengtuo surrendered to the Song Dynasty, which undoubtedly made her, the princess of the Yuan Dynasty, extremely angry.

And Monto, on the other hand, could only blush, and could not say anything.

After all, he still cares about the relationship between master and servant. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I can scold Princess Mingzhu with blood.

If it weren't for her idea of assassinating Emperor Song, if she hadn't been able to assassinate him but was captured by Le for nothing, how could he have fallen into such a situation?

Even, if it weren't for the fact that she was captured, the Yuan army threw a rat trap and delayed the fighter, and now the Great Song Dynasty Xing may have died in name only, right?

Monto was not angry with Turandot. It's just that, considering his age, it's not good to deal with Turandot.

Zhao Dongting was in the chariot, and he heard Turandot angrily scolding Montto from time to time, but he was leisurely.

If Monto couldn't help but scold this Pearl Princess, then he really wanted to ask Montto for a few points.

He was forced to surrender to Song, but if he still scolded Turandot, it could only show that he didn't have much loyalty in his heart.

Loyalty is the cutest characteristic of people in this era, and it is also the thing that Zhao Dongting cares about the most. If he didn't even have the heart of loyalty, then no matter how many Yuan troops Meng Tuo led to surrender to the Song Dynasty, then Zhao Dongting would not take him to heart. Because people who are not loyal will only be grass on the wall, they are likely to do things that descend to the Song Dynasty today and continue to return to the Yuan tomorrow.

The sun is gradually turning west, and the sun is no longer so dazzling, and it is quietly yellowing.

The army rested every half an hour, and now it was closer to Haikang. The back pawn finally stopped sweating.

The coolness seems to be gradually spreading across the land.

Suddenly, dozens of horsemen galloped back in front of the army, and went straight to the side of Zhao Dongting's dragon chariot.

The leader is Yue Peng.

After arriving at the dragon chariot, Yue Peng shouted to the dragon chariot: "Your Majesty, there is a canyon a few miles ahead, should we camp here?" ”

His suggestion to camp here was naturally well-founded. The canyon is often the most suitable place for ambush.

And the Dali army doesn't know where it is now.

Zhao Dongting pondered for a few seconds when he heard this, opened the curtain to look at the sky outside, and said, "Have you sent scouts to investigate?" ”

It should still be some time before dark, but he didn't want to camp on this side of the canyon.

What if the Dali army arrived on this day and night, and then ambushed both sides of the canyon?

At that time, even if they knew that the Dali army was lying in ambush there, it would not be easy to destroy the Dali army or rush through the canyon.

Yue Peng was slightly stunned, then realized Zhao Dongting's thoughts, and hurriedly replied: "The last general will send someone to investigate." ”

He reined in his horse and galloped before the army.

The army continued to move slowly.

Soon, dozens of horsemen rushed out of the ranks, and the horses rushed forward.

After dozens of minutes, the army was only two miles away from the canyon. From a distance, you can see that the two mountains are separated like door gods.

Dozens of scouts also finished exploring their way at this time, and at this time they rushed back to the army again.

After Yue Peng hurriedly asked about the situation, he galloped to the side of Long Yuan again, "Your Majesty, there is no Dali army ambush on both sides of the canyon. ”

"It seems that the Dali army should not have arrived yet, or perhaps, it didn't choose to ambush here."

Zhao Dongting's voice came from the dragon chariot, "Tell the army to speed up, cross the canyon before sunset, and then set up camp." ”

He had already discussed this matter with Wen Tianxiang. Wen Tianxiang also felt that it was better to cross the canyon earlier, so as not to cause accidents.

Yue Peng galloped forward and shouted: "The emperor has an order, the army accelerates forward!" ”

The yellow dust rose again, and Ma Jun took the lead in speeding up the pace.

The back pawn trotted up, and the dragon chariot also began to sway.

Zhao Dongting had an expression of enjoyment on his face, and suddenly said to Turandot: "Little girl, how about I let you go back to Dadu?" ”

Turandot almost bared his teeth and claws.

Except for those closest people, who dares to call her a little girl?

And Zhao Dongting himself is still so immature.

But thinking that Zhao Dongting tied her to a big pillar in Xiujiang Town and didn't give her food. She didn't dare to show Zhao Dongting any face.

The hardships of those few days have already made Princess Mingzhu, who is known for her brutality and willfulness, have a strong fear of Zhao Dongting.

Who had tortured her like that before?

And after the anger flashed in her heart, her eyes lit up, "Are you willing to let me go back?" ”

"Nope."

Zhao Dongting said with a smile: "I just asked you, but I didn't really want to let you go back." ”

Turandot was like a deflated temper, and leaned against the window, listless.

This hateful fellow even teased her again.

It's just that she doesn't even have the interest to stare at Zhao Dongting. Or rather, don't dare to stare anymore.

Who knows what kind of words this guy will use to stimulate her?

These days, although Zhao Dongting has not tortured her anymore, his words often stimulate her. Turandot's heart was numb.

She couldn't say anything about him, she couldn't scold him, she just felt that her previous brutal skills had been crushed by this Song Emperor.

People are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads if they are justified or not. Now Princess Pearl has finally tasted this helplessness.

Zhao Dongting saw her like this, but he felt bored, "Why don't you speak?" Maybe I'll change my mind again? ”

The march was extremely boring, but Zhao Dongting was not a person who could endure loneliness. Yes, I can only have some fun with Turandot.

But alas, Turandot seems to have made up his mind to ignore him, and only lifts the curtain and scolds Montto to vent his anger.

The army slowly made its way through the valley.

The horizon widened again. Crossing these two mountains, there is a flat grassland in front.

In the barren grassland, the official road stretches into the distance, as if it can lead directly to the place where the sun sets.

The horse army in front of the army was already immediate, guarding the surroundings, ready to camp.

When Zhao Dongting's dragon chariot was hundreds of meters away from the canyon, Yue Peng, who was in front of the army, shouted: "The army is camped by the river!" ”

The order was conveyed layer by layer.

The soldiers who had been running for days were like an amnesty, and they walked in groups to the river in the yellow steppe not far away.

But no one noticed that there were several people hiding in the barren grass, and when they saw the Song army arriving, they quickly crouched and walked towards the shady side of the mountain range on the right.
