Royal Road

Finally won! Liang Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he received the battle report from the mansion. He also didn't expect that Liu Yuan would send another Qingqi to attack Gaodu. Fortunately, Yi Yan dispatched the 400 Huns who had previously subdued in time, put on the enemy's armor, and broke into the enemy camp. Only then can they disrupt the opponent's position and give the trilogy a chance to expand its formation and attack on both sides. Otherwise, the vicinity of Gaodu may suffer a lot.

However, the number of people garrisoned in the mansion was still less, and more of them were auxiliary soldiers. Even if he was unprepared, he stunned the group of Huns cavalry, and never left the opponent's coach, allowing more than one thousand horses to escape the encirclement.

"Two hundred were killed and nearly a thousand wounded. Three villages were burnt down. This battle is really dangerous." Liang Feng put down the battle report and sighed, "It seems that dealing with cavalry is not an easy task."

"Not everyone is as brave as Captain Yi. It is not uncommon to get this record. Deputy Zhang Ying contributed a lot to this battle." Duan Qin said on the side.

He was telling the truth. Although not as brilliant as a victory on the frontal battlefield, it is quite rare to be able to use the six hundred pili battalion archers and four hundred Xiongnu surrenders to arrange such an enemy tactic to annihilate most of the enemy's centaur. It seems that it is the right choice to hand over the Liang Mansion to Zhang He.

Liang Feng said: "It is true. But the village outside the village still suffers a lot. It seems that it cannot be neglected just because it is close to the camp. A Wubao should be built. With Wubao as a perimeter defense, you can interact with the city. You won’t be unable to guard against it."

"The Wubao with three villages into one, I'm afraid it will require thousands of labor." Duan Qin said immediately, "There is news from Captain Yi that there are more than two thousand enemy soldiers captured, and it should be useful."

The final battle on the frontal battlefield was a beautiful victory, but the ratio of falling enemies was not too high. The soldiers were scattered, not very good chasing, and afraid of chasing too much, instead they fell into the desperate resistance of the enemy. In the end, only more than two thousand people were captured. More than four thousand escaped from the Shangdang. In order to prevent these routs from harassing other counties, Yi Yan led his troops to expel them all the way, but has not yet returned.

But for Duan Qin, this is an unimaginable victory. With 6,000 paces, they defeated the enemy's 20,000 horses, cut 13,000 in battle, and captured more than 2,000 prisoners. Such a battle that wins more with less, not to mention the Jin Dynasty, is rare in the Cao Wei period for hundreds of years.

This Yi Yan is really a natural talent!

How could Liang Feng not know what Duan Qin was excited about, and nodded: "Thinking is what he said. The two thousand people must make good use of it. They have delayed winter farming and always find some compensation. But this time the battle was injured. There are also a lot of soldiers, and we have to beware of the Xiongnu attacking again."

As soon as these words came out, Duan Qin also calmed down a little: "After a big defeat, it's another cold winter season. Shouldn't the Huns send troops so quickly?"

"This battle is not like Lucheng. I don't know how Liu Yuan will respond." Liang Feng was not dazzled by the victory. On the contrary, this battle completely demonstrated his strength and thoroughly cleansed the bottom line. If Liu Yuan was ruthless and attacked with the power of the whole country, he could only hold on to the city, and there was no other way.

It's really hard to guess how this kind of hero who can build a country in troubled times will make a decision.

Seeing Duan Qin frowning, Liang Feng sighed softly: "We'd better wait for Bo Yuan to come back and make a decision."

※

Above the hall, there was deathly silence. Liu Cong and Liu Yao knelt in the hall. One left a long knife mark on his left cheek, which was broken and hurt his left eye; the other hung his arm on his shoulder, with scars on his body.

A few days ago, the two men were still full of spirits, vowing to lead their troops to the party. However, nowadays, the loss of soldiers will not be counted, and all of them are seriously injured, which is really unexpected.

Naturally, Liu Yuan couldn't think of it. His face was as deep as water, and he couldn't conceal the anger in his voice at all: "Twenty-five thousand people, only less than six thousand came back. Is Liang Zixi so powerful?!"

Before Liu Cong spoke, Liu Yao preemptively replied: "If the soldiers were not for the soldiers who were wearing our armors and rushing into the battle in disguise, the camp would not be rushed. The son and ministers broke through the encirclement after desperately desperate, and he is really ashamed of his father Heavy trust."

Although he confessed his guilt clearly, the question of the army being sent to the armies clearly pointed to the defeat of the front army. If it weren't for Liu Cong's defeat so quickly, then there was no way to fight back. How could the descendants that Liang Zixi took in put on his own armor and caught him by surprise?

Liu Cong could naturally hear what Liu Yao said and what was said, and the hate face was slightly distorted. Affected by the expression, the scar became more and more terrifying.

Liu Yuan's pair of tigers looked over: "Why did the former army lose? I heard that they only had a few thousand men and horses."

The soldiers sent to Liu Cong this time are the elites of the Han country, and someone will return the situation to him. Liu Cong just wanted to say that it was impossible to increase the enemy by several times. Gritting his teeth, Liu Cong said: "The enemy has used thunderbolt artillery on the battlefield, and there is no way to get close to him on foot. The son thinks that if you don't try to restrain this thing, you may be disadvantaged if you attack the Shangdang in the future.

Liu Yuan also heard about the thunderbolt artillery, but he is proficient in military affairs, how could he not know the purpose of this weapon?

"Thunderbolt artillery is a siege weapon, how can it be used in field operations?" Liu Yuan asked coldly.

This matter, I am afraid I will not believe it for another person. But Liu Cong has suffered such a big loss in a solid manner, how can he not carefully figure it out?

"That group of Jin troops replaced the stone bullets of the thunderbolt artillery with fingertip-sized iron pellets. The range was more than doubled and could penetrate light armor. The artillery car was also not pulled by humans and fired extremely quickly. Within a step, it can be said to be invincible, non-heavy armor can not stop. The soldiers led by the children are all in light armor, and they have only lost the opponent's weapon!"

This reason is quite tenable. On the battlefield, there may indeed be situations in which one party has an improved weapon and is greatly superior. However, the advantage of losing more than 10,000 soldiers was beyond Liu Yuan's ability to bear it.

Seeing that the people in the seat wanted to get angry, Liu Cong immediately said: "I think that this thunder cannon is probably Liang Feng's secret method of tricking ghosts. Its sound is like thunder, and it has the power of ejection. If it is throwing a fireball into the camp at night, When it can confuse people!"

This sentence immediately held back what Liu Yuan wanted to say. Yup! He had never dared to move into the party before, because what he was afraid of was the saying of "Buddha". If the star falling thunder is nothing more than the movement of a thunderbolt, on the psychological level, it can get rid of a major obstacle.

However, how to get something as big as the Thunderbolt Cannon next to the big camp is still a confusing question. But these, Liu Yuan obviously would not understand to ask.

After a few shots, he sternly said: "You are waiting for the defeat, do you still want to find any excuses? That is 20,000 elite soldiers, how many soldiers does Han have?!"

With this sound, Liu Cong and Liu Yao bowed their heads: "The children are willing to redeem their merits! Take the party again!"

Both of them are dragons and phoenixes among the human beings. How can I not know what Liu Yuan means to be furious. Everyone will be defeated, and the best way is to redeem the merits.

However, a minister on the side stepped forward and said: "My lord, it is winter now, and the re-emergence of troops may not be conducive to national affairs. Also beware of Jinyang counterattack, I am afraid that too many soldiers can be drawn.

The 25,000 army failed to win, and there will only be more troops sent again. However, the military strength of the Han Dynasty was already stretched, and it had to besieged the city for aid and trapped Jinyang. Where can there be so many soldiers to squander?

Liu Yuan frowned. Naturally, he also knew about this situation. However, after the big defeat, it cannot regain the declining momentum, which is a serious blow to morale, and is not even conducive to attracting other nobles and anti-Jin mountain forces. Can't even beat a prefect, who will return to you? How can we occupy the entire territory of Binzhou?

Liu Yao took advantage of the situation and said: "Father, my son is willing to take the lead to attack Knee County!"

This time he was led by cavalry, unable to fight the siege. If there were more infantry, how could the defeat be so miserable like Liu Cong, who was greedy for his work and went deep into the party?

No matter how willing to show weakness, Liu Cong took a step forward, and said loudly: "My son is also willing to lead soldiers to try again!"

The two were vying to lead the army, and Liu He, who stood by, smiled coldly in his heart, and stepped forward: "Father, winter revitalization is a waste of time, not to mention that the war is unfavorable. It is better to wait until the beginning of spring before attacking the party."

Liu Henai is the son of Queen Huyan and the eldest son of Liu Yuan. She is eight feet tall, she is good at learning beauty, and she is more knowledgeable than other brothers. Liu Yuan is not like other nomadic barbarians. Even if he favors other sons, he is still influenced by the power of Confucianism in his heart, and he always takes a high look at this intelligent eldest son. Because of Liu He's precious status, he would not let him lead the war, but would leave him in the royal capital.

In this way, Liu He could not rely on military merits to build his prestige. Both Liu Cong and Liu Yao are good warriors and have been ordered to expedition many times. Liu Yao is nothing more than an adopted son, but Liu Cong is extremely worried about Liu He's heart. It just showed the inconvenience on the face, pretending to be respectful. Now that the two have been defeated, how can he let them immediately get the opportunity to atone for their sins?

Hearing what Liu He said, Liu Yuan frowned slightly. Those who returned from this big defeat were all his sons. It is not easy to punish the crime, and it is not good to let it go. It is a way to redeem the merits, but there are risks in allowing newly defeated generals to fight again. Coupled with what Liu He said, it was impossible to order immediately.

After thinking about it, Liu Yuan sighed: "You two are seriously injured, so you should go to recover first. After the beginning of spring, you can make Liu Qin the commander and attack the party!"

Liu Qin is a general under Liu Yuan's command, and he is equally good at fighting. As for the assistant lieutenant, he didn't say it directly. Whether you send Liu Cong or Liu Yao by then, it will make sense.

Hearing this command, how can everyone know the meaning of it, and each promised. There is still a lot of work to be done to deal with the aftereffects of this defeat and to re-establish prestige.

Seeing the two unwilling to face each other, Liu Yuan couldn't help but feel a resentment in his heart. This Liang Zixi made him lose his uncle Liu Xuan that day, and now he has defeated his two most powerful sons. Is it possible that he was born to defeat him? No matter what, he can't lose anymore! This Shangdang must be captured!
