Royal road

After driving the scattered Xiongnu out of the country, Yiyan led his troops back to Fucheng.At this time, three days had passed since the war, and the battlefield had already been cleaned up.Those who should be burned were burned, and those that should be buried were buried. The troops were escorted to the Liang Mansion, ready to start the construction of Wubao.There are also ordnance, horses, fodder, and even dead horse carcasses obtained on the battlefield, all of which are collected as best they can be used.It can be seen that the efficiency of county officials is not low.

However, when they saw the guards of honor lined up outside the gate of Lucheng, all the soldiers were still surprised.The Fujun actually came to welcome them in person?There are not only guards of honor, but also people crowded on both sides of the road. Everyone's eyes are shining with anticipation, just like the heroes returning from an expedition.

Most of the army were newly attached refugees, and the others were also soldiers who had never fought in any big scenes. Seeing such a scene, all of them were red-faced, chested and belly folded, wishing to show infinite expressions.The fear in my heart and the pain in my body disappeared, leaving only pride.

Yiyan was also taken aback.The lord had welcomed him back in victory before, but he had never put up such a battle.However, seeing the figure standing under the banner, he still couldn't help but urge the steed under his crotch to gallop towards the city gate.

The coach speeded up his march, and the soldiers below naturally followed closely.Immediately, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and horses galloped like lightning.No matter how the people in the city have seen such scenes, they are all trembling and silent.There was a smile on Liang Feng's lips, watching the leading white horse galloping towards him.

Holding the reins, Yiyan turned over and jumped off the horse, and knelt on the ground with one knee: "Master He Lao came out to meet you, this subordinate is ashamed!"

Behind him, Sun Jiao, Wang Long, and other generals also knelt in the dust.The murderous army suddenly turned into docile lambs, bowing their knees to their only master.

Looking at the young Capricorn man who was also extremely tall and straight in his kneeling posture, Liang Feng couldn't hide his admiration.It is not easy to grow from a brave general who only knows brute force to a general who can skillfully use the art of war and command an army.Just this battle is enough to make Yiyan famous.At the beginning, I used Huo Qubing to motivate him to learn the art of war, but now it seems that he has quite the ability and prestige of a champion general.

With a smile on his face, Liang Feng stepped forward and held Yiyan's arm: "If Boyuan hadn't defeated the enemy in this battle, how could the people live in peace? You are so brave, you can be the support of my party!"

His voice was clear, echoing in front of the wide city gate, and echoing in everyone's heart.

Faced with the admiration and trust shining in those starry eyes, Yi Yan suppressed the stalk in his throat, and said loudly: "If there is no lord, where are my soldiers and generals? Willing to stick to Shangdang for the lord!"

As if beaten with chicken blood, the soldiers below also said in unison: "I am willing to stick to Shangdang for the lord!"

These words, like clear water dripping into boiling oil, caused the people along the road to cheer.They may not understand the meaning of the allegiance of such a large army.But everyone clearly understands that as long as there is the Fujun, as long as there is this powerful force guarding the Shangdang, they can live here.You don't have to be afraid of the Huns' thieves like jackals, and you don't have to dodge stupid officials like tigers and leopards!

In troubled times, is there anything more exciting than this?

The cheers were like thunder, shaking the entire city to tremble.Liang Feng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.It was not an easy battle to win, so the changes made the most of this victory.And if you want a murderous army to always have a clear consciousness and humanity, you must give them a sense of honor and belonging, and give them something that needs to be protected with both hands.

Just like Yue's army, like Qi's army, like the iron troop of later generations that went deep into the masses and won every battle.

Helping Yiyan up, Liang Feng said with a smile: "Boyuan will go back to Yamen with me."

The hands that supported him were firm and strong.The person in front of him no longer had only a sick face.The rare sunshine in winter makes that tall and straight figure like a jade tree in Qiongshan Mountain, and also makes her pale cheeks a little more radiant and bloody. Just standing in front of her can overwhelm everything in the world.

Facing that flawless smile, Yiyan lowered his eyes and promised in a low voice.

After beautifully finishing the welcoming ceremony and returning to the government office, Liang Feng didn't have the relaxed look on the outside.Straight to the point: "Boyuan, do you think the Xiongnu will attack Shangdang again?"

It was about the safety of a county, Yiyan immediately calmed down, pondered for a while, and then said: "Shangdang is on the side of the Xiongnu, I'm afraid they won't let it go."

The answer was exactly what Liang Feng thought.Shangdang's geographical location means that it will never die with the Huns.It not only borders Xihe Kingdom, the headquarters of the Han Kingdom, but also guards the fortresses of Luoyang and Yecheng.Not to mention the ambition and need to rule the world, as long as he shows his true strength, Liu Yuan will not let Shangdang go, even if he wants to let others snore on the side of the couch.

With a long sigh, Liang Feng said: "I also think the same way. Liu Yuan is a hero for a time, how can he let it go? If the Huns attack again, the previous tactics may not be effective anymore."

Yi Yan does not deny this point: "If the enemy has replaced the heavy armor, the effectiveness of the thunderbolt cannon will be greatly reduced. The cavalry spear can only attack the unprepared, and our army also lacks heavy armor. It is a luxury to use cavalry to charge the battle. .”

Whether it was the Thunderbolt Cannon or the Broken Spear, to put it bluntly, they were all dead objects. To achieve such a fruitful result this time, it all depended on the commander's tactical use.Without the psychological pressure of fortifying the walls and clearing the fields and clearing the way, it would be impossible for them to lock the enemy's marching route and set up a formation on Xizhangpo to wait for work.The subsequent cavalry assault took advantage of the enemy's defeat, low morale, unstable morale, and the inability to form a formation smoothly, so that they could be broken in one go.

If the enemy puts on heavy armor, the iron pellets fired by the Thunderbolt Cannon alone will not be able to kill effectively, and the subsequent continuous bow and crossbow shooting will also be greatly reduced.And if the enemy army is in formation, with crossbowmen and cavalry covering their flanks, how can they tolerate a group of light cavalry wearing leather armor charging into the formation with spears.Even in the Middle Ages in the West, lancers had to wear heavy armor, otherwise it would be a pipe dream to cross the long-range attack with rich range in the infantry camp.

And the most terrible thing is that the Huns are richer than the Shangdang.No matter what, it is a huge force that can establish a country. As long as Liu Yuan has the heart, Liu Yuan can gather enough heavy armor.But with Liang Feng's family background, he could never afford heavy cavalry.

"If we fight again, it will be a hard fight." Liang Feng said the answer that both of them knew well.Based on the current strength and composition of the above party, it is completely powerless to fight a counterattack.But if you stick to it, whether it is the troops stationed or the trilogy of Liangfu, they must shoulder the task of farming.If the spring plowing was delayed due to the war, a large number of refugees were gathered, and there was not enough food, Shangdang itself would be in chaos.

"It's a pity that gunpowder cannot be used before the battle. If there is another great victory in Lucheng, I am afraid that the Huns will be able to restrain themselves a little bit." Yi Yan said.

Gunpowder is the biggest secret weapon in their hands. When it is used on the frontal battlefield, especially in broad daylight, it completely loses its deterrent effect.After knowing that this is a weapon, not a spell, that kind of psychological suppression will be broken by itself.Therefore, even if the formula of gunpowder has made great progress in this year, it is still not used in the face of the enemy.

The Xiongnu didn't run into the party before, on the one hand because they wanted to confront Sima Teng; on the other hand, it might not have been affected by the brilliant results of the night attack.In this era, not many people can overcome the psychological offensive of "God's blessing".However, this battle is now won, but the "miracle" has been wiped out.It may be difficult to suppress Han in the future.

"Great victory in Lucheng..." Hearing these words, Liang Feng's heart suddenly moved. He remembered something, and immediately got up and said, "Follow me."

Not knowing why, Yiyan followed Liang Feng to the back house of the government office.Now the back house of the prefect's mansion has been divided into several large blocks.Liang Feng and his son only occupied a small courtyard, and the rest was allocated either to the Chongwen Museum or to the Zangshu Pavilion, where many scholars and professors lived.Bypassing a courtyard wall, Liang Feng led Yiyan into a small courtyard.There are only two or three rooms in the courtyard, not to mention pavilions and waterside pavilions, there are not even a few trees, it is so shabby.But the people who live there don't care at all.

Pushing open the door, Liang Feng stopped in his tracks, because there was no way to set foot in the house.Paper balls of different sizes were thrown all over the floor, and many books were left open in a mess.Five or six blackboards were hung on the blackboard used for checking calculations, each of which was painted like ghostly symbols, and it was impossible to see what was written on it.A man with disheveled hair and rumpled clothes was writing something at his desk, even though the door opened, he didn't seem to look up at all.

With a wry smile on his face, Liang Feng called out, "Zile!"

Li Xin didn't seem to hear it, and stretched out his hand to scratch the bun with the pen he was holding, and messed up his hair even more.

Liang Feng could bear this look, but Yiyan couldn't.Striding forward with a dark face, he grabbed the manuscript in front of Li Xin and said coldly: "Professor Li, the lord is here!"

"You..." The manuscript was suddenly confiscated, and Li Xin wanted to curse.But fortunately, his nerves are not strong enough to face Yiyan's terrifying face and act like no one else is there, so he quickly shut up in the middle of what he said.

Looking eagerly at the manuscript that was hijacked by the other party, Li Xin had no choice but to get up, and saluted Liang Feng: "I don't know what the government is doing? I just counted the critical moment, can you return the manuscript to me?"

It's really three sentences that are inseparable from the line.Liang Feng snorted: "It's important to find Zile. I remember that you and Zhichuan seemed to discuss some astronomical matters before, and he was very angry?"

Hearing what Liang Feng said, Li Xin snorted coldly, poking his nostrils to the sky: "That kid can't do math, and he's stubborn as hell. Discussing with him is a waste of time!"

Liang Feng didn't care how the other party ridiculed Ge Hong, and directly revealed his intention: "What you are discussing is the solar eclipse?"
