After driving the scattered Xiongnu troops 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. What should be burnt, and what should be buried should be buried, and the soldiers will be escorted to Liangfu, ready to start the construction of Wubao. There are also weapons, horses, grains, and even dead horse carcasses obtained on the battlefield. It can be seen that the efficiency of the county officials is not low.
However, when they saw the guards of honor lined up outside the city gate of Lucheng, it still surprised all the soldiers. Fu Jun actually came to greet them in person? Not only are there guards of honor, but there are also people huddled on both sides of the road, each with a look of hope in their eyes, like heroes who have returned from an expedition.
Most of the soldiers in the army were newly-affiliated refugees, and the others were also soldiers who had never fought in a big scene. When they saw such a scene, all of them were red-faced, their chests and stomachs were raised, and they wished they could show their infinite expressions. The fear in my heart and the pain in my body have all disappeared, and only the pride is left.
Yi Yan was also surprised. The lord had welcomed him back victoriously before, but never in such a battle. However, seeing the figure standing under the banner, he still couldn't help urging the horse under his crotch to gallop towards the city gate.
The coach quickened his pace, and the soldiers below naturally followed closely. At that time, the smoke and dust were everywhere, and the horses were galloping like electricity. How could the people in the city have seen such a scene, they were all trembling and trembling. There was a smile on Liang Feng's lips as he watched the white horse galloping in front of him.
Holding the reins, Yi Yan turned over and jumped off the horse's back, kneeling on the ground on one knee: "Master He Lao is out to greet you, and your subordinates are ashamed!"
Behind him, Sun Jiao, Wang Long, and other generals also knelt in the dust. The murderous army suddenly turned into a docile lamb, bowing its knees to their only master.
Liang Feng couldn't hide his admiration when he saw the young man who was kneeling tall and straight. 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 the army. This battle alone is enough to make Yiyan famous. At the beginning, he used Huo Qubing to inspire him to learn the art of war, but now it seems that he has quite the talent and majesty of a champion general.
With a smile on his face, Liang Feng stepped forward and supported Yi Yan's arm: "If Bo Yuan had not defeated the enemy in this battle, how could the people live in peace? You are so brave, you can stand up for me!"
His voice was clear, echoing in front of the wide city gate, and echoing in everyone's heart.
Facing the glittering admiration and trust in the pair of star eyes, Yi Yan suppressed the stubbornness in his throat and said loudly, "If there is no lord, why would I have all my soldiers? I am willing to stick to the party for the lord!"
As if they had been beaten with blood, the soldiers below also said in unison: "I would like to stick to the party for the ruler of the government!"
These words, like water dripping into boiling oil, attracted the people in the road, all cheering. 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 ruler of the government, as long as there is this strong force guarding the Shangdang, they will be able to live here. There is no need for the Xiongnu thieves who are afraid of wolves, and there is no need to avoid the faint-hearted officials like tigers and leopards!
In troubled times, is there anything more exciting than this
The cheers were thunderous, and the city trembled. Liang Feng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It wasn't an easy battle to win, so the changes made the most of it. To make a murderous army always have a clear consciousness and humanity, it is necessary to give them a sense of honor and belonging, and to give them what they need to protect with their hands.
Just like the Yue family army, just like the Qi family army, just like the iron and steel team that went deep into the masses in later generations and was invincible in a hundred battles.
Helping Yiyan up, Liang Feng smiled and said, "Bo Yuan, come back to the yamen with me."
Holding his hands firmly and firmly. The person in front of him is no longer only sick. The rare sunshine in winter made that tall and straight figure like a jade tree in Qiongshan, and also made the pale cheeks a little more lustrous and bloody, just standing in front of him, can overwhelm everything in the world.
Facing that flawless smile, Yi Yan lowered his eyes and promised in a low voice.
After finishing the welcoming ceremony beautifully, after returning to the government office, Liang Feng did not have the relaxed expression outside. Straight to the point: "Bo Yuan, do you think the Huns will attack Shangdang again?"
As it was about the safety of a county, Yiyan immediately calmed down, pondered for a while, and said, "Shangdang is on the Xiongnu's flank, so I'm afraid they won't let it go."
The answer was exactly what Liang Feng thought. The geographical location of Shangdang means that it will never die with the Huns. It not only borders the Xihe Kingdom, the base camp of the Han Kingdom, but also guards the two major 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 go of Shangdang even if he thinks that there is no room for others to sleep on the side of the couch.
With a long sigh, Liang Feng said, "I think so too. Liu Yuan is a first-time hero, so how can he give up? If the Huns attack again, the previous tactics will probably be difficult to work."
Yiyan does not deny this point: "If the enemy army changes heavy armor, the effectiveness of thunderbolt cannons will be greatly reduced. Cavalry spears can only attack them unprepared, and our army also lacks heavy armor. Using cavalry to rush into formation is a luxury after all. ."
Whether it's a thunderbolt cannon or a broken spear, it's all dead things. The success of this time depends entirely on the commander's tactical use. Without the psychological pressure of clear walls and clear fields and Fenghuo to clear the way, it would be impossible for them to lock in the enemy's marching route, and set up a battle on Xizhangpo, waiting for work. The cavalry assault that followed took advantage of the enemy's great defeat, low morale, unstable morale, and the inability to form a successful formation.
If the enemy is replaced with heavy armor, the iron pellets shot by the Thunderbolt can't effectively kill, and the subsequent bursts of bow and crossbow will be greatly reduced. And if the enemy is in a good position, with bowmen and cavalry on the flanks, how can it be possible to tolerate a team of light cavalry in leather armor rushing into the formation with spears. Even in the Western Middle Ages, lancers also had to wear heavy armor, otherwise it would be a pipe dream to cross the range-rich long-range attack in the infantry camp.
And the most terrible thing is that the Huns are richer than Shangdang. It is also a huge force that can establish a country. As long as he has the will, Liu Yuan can make up enough heavy armor. But Liang Feng's family background is absolutely unable to play heavy cavalry.
"If we fight again, it will be a hard fight." Liang Feng opened his mouth and gave the answer that both of them knew well. As far as the above party's current military strength and army composition are concerned, there is absolutely no strength to fight a counterattack. But if you stick to it, no matter it is the army or the Liangfu trilogy, you must shoulder the task of farming. If the spring ploughing was delayed due to the war, a large number of refugees were gathered, and there was not enough food, the Shangdang would be in chaos.
"It's a pity that gunpowder cannot be used before the war. If there is another victory in Lucheng, I am afraid that the Huns will be able to restrain themselves." Yi Yan said.
Gunpowder is the biggest secret weapon in their hands. It is used in frontal battlefields, especially in broad daylight, and it completely loses its shocking and miraculous effect. After knowing that this is a weapon, not a spell, that psychological suppression will be self-defeating. Therefore, even though the formulation of gunpowder has made great progress in the past year, it is still not used when facing the enemy.
The Xiongnu did not encounter the party before, on the one hand, because they had to fight against Sima Teng; on the other hand, it was not without the influence of the brilliant victories during the night attack. In this era, not many people can overcome the psychological offensive of "God bless". However, this battle is now won, but the "miracle" has been wiped clean. If you want to suppress the Han state in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult.
"Victory in Lucheng..." Hearing this, Liang Feng's heart suddenly moved, he remembered something, and immediately got up and said, "Come with me."
Unsure why, Yi Yan followed Liang Feng to the mansion behind the palace. Now the prefect's mansion has been divided into several large pieces. Liang Feng and his son only occupied a small courtyard, and the rest were either allocated to Chongwen Hall or to the Library Pavilion, where many scholars and professors lived. Going around a courtyard wall, Liang Feng took Yi Yan into a small courtyard. There are only two or three rooms in the courtyard, not to mention pavilions and waterside pavilions, not even a few trees. But the people who live here don't care.
Pushing open the door, Liang Feng stopped, because it was impossible to step in the house. Paper balls of different sizes were thrown all over the floor, and many books were left in a mess. There are five or six pieces of the blackboard used for the verification, each of which is painted like a ghost painting, and it is completely impossible to see what is written. A man with messy buns and wrinkled clothes was sitting at his desk and writing something. Even if the door was opened, he didn't even look up.
With a wry smile on his face, Liang Feng called out, "Zile!"
Li Xin didn't seem to hear it, and reached out and scratched the bun with the pen he was holding, making it even more messy.
Liang Feng could bear it like this, but Yi Yan couldn't. With a dark face, he strode forward. He grabbed the manuscript in front of Li Xin and said coldly, "Professor Li, the lord is here!"
"You..." The draft was suddenly confiscated, and Li Xin wanted to curse. But fortunately, his nerves were not strong enough to face Yi Yan's terrifying face, and he could act like no one else.
Looking eagerly at the manuscript that was hijacked by the other party, Li Xin had to stand up and salute Liang Feng: "I don't know what your lord is doing? I just counted the critical time, can you return the manuscript to me?"
Really three words are inseparable from the line. Liang Feng stammered: "Come to find Zi Le, of course it's an important thing. I remember that you and Chichuan seemed to have discussed some astronomical matters before, and he was very angry?"
Hearing Liang Feng say this, Li Xin snorted coldly, and his nostrils were almost poking into the sky: "That kid can't do math, and he's stubborn. It's a waste of time to discuss with him!"
Liang Feng, no matter how sarcastic the other party made Ge Hong, directly revealed his intention: "What are you discussing about the solar eclipse?"
