In the Lucheng government office, Liang Feng stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. Today is Zhengdan, but the county government did not hold a Yuan meeting, and even his subordinates did not follow him, only a small figure stood by.
"Father, is there really a solar eclipse today?" Liang Rong was a little uneasy, but he didn't dare to look up directly at the sun. My father said, looking at the sun in the sky, it is easy to be burned by the sun. Therefore, he could only look carefully at the copper basin placed in front of him, and observe the situation in the sky from the water dripping with ink.
"According to Li Zile's calculations, there will be a solar eclipse." Liang Feng's voice was calm, but his heart was not as calm as it appeared.
The launch of this army can be regarded as a military adventure. In order to siege the city, Fuchu craftsmen spent more than a month making new trebuchets, as well as various supporting shells. The human and material resources spent on this alone are as high as 200,000 yuan. And money is secondary, the important thing is the 3,000 soldiers and horses. All the cavalry battalions were dispatched, and there were still 2,000 elite soldiers. If the siege failed, the losses would be unimaginable.
But even with such a risk, Liang Feng gritted his teeth and carried out the plan. To put it bluntly, it was a time difference to fight for an unexpected opportunity from the Huns who were stationed in Yangyi and besieged Jinyang. The troops were on a dangerous journey. Back then, the Fourth Red Regiment flew to seize the Luding Bridge, but in the case of heavy rain, they ran overnight and traveled 126 miles of mountain road. They used 22 commandos to capture the bridge head and cooperate with the friendly troops. Occupied Luding City. Such military operations are simply unreasonable, but it is this kind of "extraordinary" that can give the disadvantaged Central Red Army a chance to survive.
And today's Shangdang has reached such a critical time of life and death! How could Liang Feng give up this opportunity because it was too dangerous.
Arrange step by step, plan a little bit, and deduce the tactics to the extreme. Whether the solar eclipse will come or not is not very important for the siege. But it is very crucial for the subsequent strategy.
So now, he is standing here, without Yuanhui, without He Yi, just waiting quietly, looking forward to the appearance of the solar eclipse.
Liang Rong didn't notice what his father was thinking. On the contrary, there was a little bit of anxiety on his face: "But the eclipse is ominous..."
Liang Feng came back to his senses. Of course he knew this era, and most people's understanding of celestial phenomena. The wind of Wu Zhen has not yet subsided, and the heaven and human senses have added chains. Whether its role is to limit the power of the monarchy or deceive the foolish people, its influence on the world will not be easily erased.
After pondering for a moment, Liang Feng said, "Why is the solar eclipse so ominous?"
Liang Rong was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "If the sun and the moon are accused, there is no need to act. There is no government in the four countries, and there is no need to be good."
This is a sentence in the "Book of Songs: The Turn of October". The opening of the whole poem records a solar eclipse. "At the turn of October, the new moon is Xinmao. When the sun eclipses it, it is also ugly." And this celestial phenomenon caused the poet to sigh that there is no good governance in the world, and there is no use for the virtuous, and the eclipse of the sun and the moon just happened. "The sun is the ruler of the elephant." Once a solar eclipse occurs, it heralds a major disaster for the monarchy.
Unexpectedly, the little guy will also use the "Book of Songs", Liang Feng smiled: "Rong'er said it well. However, the sky can show people, but people can't change the sky. As long as the calendar is accurate, the solar and lunar eclipses can appear on time according to the time. This is The celestial phenomena are like the rising and setting of the sun, the four seasons of cold and heat, and no one can change it. The real bad omen is actually 'the four countries have no government, and there is no need for their good'."
This is a dialectical question, and it is not celestial phenomena, but man-made, that caused the disaster of the country. Liang Rong blinked, seeming to understand but not understanding: "Can't the elephant be shown to people that day?"
"Yes." Liang Feng replied succinctly, "But if there is only a natural vision, you will be frightened and guilty. The country is also uneasy. How can life and death and state affairs only be revealed by God?"
He did not give Liang Rong a thorough brainwashing plan to popularize various natural laws. These thoughts are too advanced, and it is not a good thing for Liang Rong who grew up in this era. But the way of thinking, and logic can change. No country, no system is perfect, and it is fundamental to pay attention to the operation of the country at all times. Instead of seeing a vision and afraid of being punished by the heavens, it is to restore and correct it. At that time, it will be too late, and the omens of the celestial phenomena will really be answered.
This is the first time Liang Rong has heard such a statement. What he had learned seemed a little different, but it was not incomprehensible. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Then why is my father raising troops today to ward off disasters and omen?"
This time, Liang Feng was silent for a moment before answering: "If the heavens help, I can only save Shangdang County."
Liang Rong closed his mouth all of a sudden, he seemed to understand his father's true intentions. Just like the "time of the day, the right place, the people and the people" mentioned in the book of war, my father was not afraid of changes in the sky, just because there was something more important than fear in his heart.
Just as Liang Rong was thinking, the sky suddenly changed. The originally bright sky suddenly dimmed, as if something blocked the sunlight. Like a conditioned reflex, Liang Rong suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky. I saw that the white sun suddenly dimmed, as if a piece of the sky was missing, revealing a strange and ominous feeling.
This feeling is terrifying and fatal, but it is so magical that people can't take their eyes off. However, before his eyes were pierced with tears by the sunlight, a hand was already in front of his eyes.
"Don't look directly at the sun." Liang Feng said sharply.
His gaze was in the copper basin in front of him. In the ink-colored water, the round sun was missing a corner. The solar eclipse is here! Exactly!
There was a noise in the courtyard, and countless people began to exclaim. The sound of gongs and drums sounded immediately, and it was harsh, but it was also a necessary means to expel the tengu. This was arranged in advance by Liang Feng, and Duan Qin and Cui Ji worked together to appease the people and hold the ceremony.
However, to Liang Feng, this sound was more like a drum of war coming from afar. Tianwei is here, can Ge Hong hold it

The people of Lucheng were just terrified, but the defenders in Yangyi felt that they had fallen into a ghost. When the sky darkened, the sound of thunder rang out at the same time.
The enemy's thunderbolt artillery did not stop, but the fire bombs inside turned into Jiuxiao Xuanlei, and slammed into the head of Yangyi City with a bang!
Liu Mang felt as if his body had been violently pushed by an invisible giant hand, and flew backwards, hitting the ground hard. There was a burst of gold stars in front of him, and his ears were buzzing, and he could no longer hear the movements around him. How is this going? Something cold and fishy fell on his face. He stretched out his hand in a daze, and found that his hand was already stained with blood. Blood was dripping from the nose and ears, and there was numbness in the shoulders. He was injured, by what? !
It seemed that only a moment had passed, and it seemed that a long time had passed. Liu Mang suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky! The sun in the sky has been swallowed by half, and the dark shadows are visible to the naked eye in the aperture, as if to eat the sun one by one. But why the thunder? Aren't tengu afraid of noise? Why was there a thunderbolt in the city
Tears leaked from his eyes, blurring his eyes. Liu Mang was terrified to find that his eyes could not see clearly: "Quick... Come on someone..."
There was an uncontrollable trembling in his voice, but no one heard him. Another sound of thunder exploded in the city.
With a shudder, Liu Mang fell to his knees. This must be the punishment of God! Why should they be punished on their heads? Is it because of Yangyi City, or because of the Jin army that attacked the city
Yes! That is the army of Shangdang, the heroic soldier under that Buddha's son...
A third thunder sounded again. Liu Mang had completely forgotten his responsibilities, curled up into a ball, knelt on the wall, trembling and bowed to the sun who blinded him. The blood stained his winter clothes and took away the temperature in his body a little bit.

When the first sound of thunder appeared, Ge Hong couldn't help but took a step back. His eyebrows were tightly locked, staring at the terrifying scene in front of him. The first lightning bomb was accurately thrown on the city head, smoke and firelight appeared at the same time, a large piece of arrow stack shattered in the loud noise, and several figures flew upside down. The sun wheel in the sky was swallowed in half in an instant, and in the dim sunlight, that terrible scene seemed to be engraved in everyone's pupils.
Not to mention the defenders in the city, even the incomparably brave team behind him caused a commotion. A small number of people knelt down directly, and there were many people who stayed where they were, unable to even hold the swords and guns in their hands.
Seeing this scene, Ge Hong shouted loudly: "The Xiongnu rebelled, the ruler of the government pacified the chaos, and the heavens turned thunder! This is God helping the ruler of the government!"
His voice was extremely high, spreading all over the world, and it also recalled the minds of those soldiers. Yes, if God punished them for raising troops, why would they fall right at the head of the enemy city? This is clearly because the ruler of the government has been blessed by the heavens and turned fire into thunder!
There was brilliance in those fearful eyes. The trembling legs no longer trembled, and the hand holding the blade regained strength. The commotion has ceased, and it has turned into a force ready to go, into joy and courage!
Ge Hong couldn't help but feel relieved. It seemed that the prestige of the mansion in the hearts of the people was even higher than the changes in the sky. How could such morale be missed? !
He strode to the second gun carriage, and he took a deep breath: "If there is God's help! Let the thunder fall again!"
As he said that, he raised the rocket, ignited the second lightning bomb, and the artillery roared, sending this terrifying weapon into Yangyi City. With a bang, the loud noise appeared again. But most of the team behind him had already stood up, and it seemed that they had forgotten even the darkening sun in the sky.
"The moment the sun returns to light, when we attack the city for our army!" Ge Hong took another step and ignited the last thunderbolt.
The Thunderbolt Cannon took too long to be wound, and these three were the only ones that could be thrown during a solar eclipse. But three, enough!
When the last loud noise exploded, someone in the formation shouted out first: "Retake Yangyi! Kill the Xiongnu!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The two thousand people shouted in unison, louder than the thunder that fell on the top of the city!
As if alarmed by the thunderous roar, the shadow infecting the sun wheel stopped and began to retreat little by little. The dim yellow shadow began to retreat, disappearing into the bright sunlight.
The sky will be bright!
Ge Hong took out his sword and said loudly, "Come with me!"
The two thousand pawns moved, like a surging tide, rushing towards the fortified city ahead!
