Royal Road - Chapter 162

[Chapter 161 | City]

Yangyi?

For a split second, Ge Hong thought he had misheard.

But seeing Liang Feng’s incomparably solemn expression, he immediately shuddered on his back, and even his breathing was a little short: “Fu Jun wants to attack Yangyi?”

Now that Yangyi has just been captured by the Xiongnu, such a fortress, naturally Firmly guard, wherever you want to attack you can attack.

However, Liang Feng even spoke directly and named him the magistrate of Yangyi.

If Ge Hong hadn’t understood this mansion, he would have thought that he was mentally disordered and had hysteria!

“Shangdang needs Yangyi as a barrier. If this city cannot be controlled, Jinyang will be in danger.” Liang Feng said solemnly.

This is also the strategic goal he has spent a lot of effort and finally determined.

The geographical location of Yangyi is too critical, and it is the main road connecting Shangdang and Jinyang.

Yangyi was captured, and it would be extremely difficult to contact the defenders in Jinyang City.

The Xiongnu cut off the connection between Jinyang and Shangdang, and it would be easier to defeat each.

If a battlefield must be demarcated, Yangyi is really the best choice.

“But…” Ge Hong hesitated for a moment, “…but a fortified city like Yangyi, if it takes countless thousands of people and more than a month, how can it be recovered? Not to mention that the Huns army is still outside Jinyang City, if Aid Chi Yangyi can be reached in half a day!”

People have a strong city and a large army, how can they say that they can beat them down?

How could Ge Hong not know the absurdity of this matter?

“In the past, it would have been extremely difficult to capture Yangyi. But this time it is extraordinary, with the help of the heavens. According to Li Zile’s calculations, next year’s first day, the sun will eclipse!” Liang Feng revealed his trump card.

Ge Hong couldn’t believe his ears: “Are you going to fight on Zhengdan? Because of a solar eclipse?!” What a

joke!

Zhengdan is the day of the end of the war, not to mention the major climatic changes such as a solar eclipse.

If there is a solar eclipse, even the Zhengdan court meeting will be stopped, not to mention the war!

Liang Feng did not mean to joke at all: “Even though we defeated the Huns before, our army also lost a lot of strength. If we fight again in another day, Shangdang will have no power to fight back. It was chosen on Yuanri because it was unexpected. This change is the key to frightening the Xiongnu. For the sake of the tens of thousands of people in Shangdang, this battle must be fought!”

Ge Hong knew more or less the current situation in Shangdang.

The army is insufficient, the refugees are flooded, and it is a place to be fought. If the Huns attack again, let alone hundreds of thousands of soldiers, even that city will be at stake.

Is it like Sima Teng giving up this county?

Or use it as a battlefield and turn all the cities into scorched earth?

Either way, Ge Hong didn’t want to choose.

After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said: “How can the lord be sure that the day of the solar eclipse will come? It should be noted that the Taishi Ling who supervises the sky may not be able to calculate the eclipse of the sun and the moon, not to mention that bastard Li Xin? There was a Taishi prophecy about a solar eclipse in Yuan Zheng, and all the officials suggested to cancel the Yuan meeting. Xun Lingjun insisted on holding it, but the solar eclipse did not happen. Historians will make mistakes, and it may disappear on its own after the disaster. If everything is suppressed by the solar eclipse Go, isn’t it absurd?”

“You don’t need a solar eclipse to seize the city.” Liang Feng said, “This siege, the ultimate move is gunpowder. So whether there is a solar eclipse or not, it’s just a matter of God’s help!”

Ge Hong was stunned .

.

He is the person in charge of the development and production of gunpowder, and he is naturally aware of the current development.

Using this object to siege the city has always been the main direction of research and development, and some tools that can be used are indeed made.

However, who would have expected that it would be used at such a time.

Surprisingly, using guns | medicine to attack the city, can you conquer it?

In fact, Ge Hong can’t guarantee it, after all, no one has tried it.

But when the eclipse happens, can the city be conquered with gunpowder?

This is a question that needs no answer at all.

It turned out that Liang Zixi had this idea.

Just like the Lucheng Victory!

There was an indescribable emotion in his chest. Everyone regarded the solar eclipse as a natural disaster, but no one had dared to regard this vision as a divine help.

Is this behavior daring, or is it desperate?

Ge Hong pursed his lips: “Do you know that the lord of the government is a sign of deceiving the lord? Even if it can scare off the Huns, it may not be a good thing for the lord.”

The sun is yang and the moon is yin, so a solar eclipse is a sign of yin invading yang, and ministers covering up the ruler.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, if there was a solar eclipse, the three princes might be convicted or even killed.

If Yuanzheng was chosen to send troops and a solar eclipse occurred during the siege of the city, it would be difficult to comment on Liang Feng’s reputation.

Hearing this, Liang Feng snorted: “If you can save the people of this county, why would you avoid them because of misfortune or fortune?”

Of course he thought about the impact of the solar eclipse.

This is not a good omen, but the worst of all celestial phenomena.

“The Book of the Later Han Dynasty” has a cloud: “Nothing is more supreme than the sky, and no change in the sky is greater than the eclipse of the sun.”

If the kings of Sima County in Luoyang or Chang’an knew about this, they might have thought of him.

But now is not the time to think about it. If he doesn’t try, he probably won’t be able to wait for those surnamed Sima to come to Xingshi to ask his guilt.

Moreover, Liu Yuan claimed that he had returned from his true life, but it happened that Yangyi was recaptured in the event of a solar eclipse. I am afraid that the deterrent effect would be even better.

Looking at the calm expression of the person in front of him, Ge Hong didn’t know what to say.

Who can do everything possible to save the people of a land, even if they carry a vicious name on their backs?

Sima Teng had already fled, and more princes in high positions and armed with heavy troops were fighting between Luoyang and Chang’an, just to hold the emperor to command the princes.

Does anyone care about those struggling living people?

Ge Hong had experienced war and chaos. The rebellion started by Zhang Chang and Bai Bing disturbed the entire Jiangnan and almost brought disaster to his family.

He brought hundreds of clansmen and joined the rebel army in order to eliminate the disaster and save more people.

It’s a pity that no one cares about his exploits.

But now, someone needs him to stand up again and rescue the people of this county.

“The city of Yangyi is in danger, and it’s not a perfect place to go. But if you have Ge Lang’s help in this battle, you will be safe!” Seeing the tangle on Ge Hong’s face, Liang Feng pulled up his sleeves, bowed his head and bowed.

This was the best candidate he could think of.

Although Ge Hong is young, his talent is no less than others.

To stand out in the war, his tactics and courage are not inferior to others.

What is even more rare is the sharp weapon developed by Gun|Powder for Ge Hong. No one knows the usage of those siege weapons better than him.

It can command frontal siege operations, use gunpowder to the maximum extent, and even face the astronomical spectacle of a solar eclipse, without being distracted.

More importantly, Ge Hong is a “person of his own”.

After capturing the city, he can directly take over Yangyi, ensure its normal operation, and incorporate it into the Shangdang defense system.

No one under him could do this.

Not even Linghu Kuang, a new recruit.

This prayer carries a solemnity far beyond “ceremony”.

However, Ge Hong’s mood was no longer the same as when he was just about to leave office.

In the bottom of his heart, there was a little more emotion, a little heroic, and he exhaled the breath that was pressing in his chest. He gathered his sleeves and bowed: “Thank you for not giving up, Hong is willing to give it a try!” The

same sentence, the second The second time is completely different from the previous one.

※

January flies fast, and the weather in Bingzhou is getting colder and colder.

It is a pity that there is no snow this winter. Besides the cold, it is a worrying drought.

I don’t know if it will affect next year’s harvest.

Although he suffered a defeat in Shangdang, Liu Yuan still hunted wildly in Lari, paid tribute to his ancestors, worshipped heaven and earth, and prepared for the Yuanri Dynasty.

This is the second time the Yuan meeting has been held since the founding of the Han Dynasty.

Sima Teng fled, and the state was empty. The significance of this court meeting was naturally extraordinary.

Not to mention the officials, even the generals who were out on the expedition rushed back to Li Shi.

If it were to change the battlefield, I am afraid that no one would dare to act so recklessly.

But Bingzhou is not what it used to be, and all the generals of the Jin army retreated into the city, hoping that the Huns would not come to attack the city.

And those cities that have fallen into the Han state are connected together, and they are not afraid of sneak attacks by others.

Having said that, even if there is a battle to be fought, the light cavalry will arrive in two days from Lishi to Jinyang.

Who can conquer the city in two days?

Therefore, not to mention those generals, even the soldiers defending the city rarely relaxed.

After a year of fighting, the New Year has finally reached the end of the year, when Zhengdan stops fighting, there are rewards, and food and drink, why not have a good New Year?

With this kind of thinking from top to bottom, there will be people who will worry about war.

Yangyi, the newly occupied city, was no exception.

There were 800 Xiongnu soldiers in the city, and there were more than 1,000 Jin soldiers who had surrendered.

However, no one was afraid of these surrendering troops and rebelling. On the contrary, those who surrendered from Kaicheng hoped that Han would win the most.

Otherwise, betrayal and abandon the Lord, wouldn’t it be meaningless?

With so many people guarding the city, the general guarding the city ordered a banquet on New Year’s Eve.

For this kind of feast, rare drinks and beverages were provided, and everyone drank happily.

Listening to the cheers coming from the city, the soldiers standing at the front of the city guarding the city were all itchy.

It was also bad luck that it was their turn to be on duty at night.

At such a time, who can stick to their posts wholeheartedly?

It’s just a false statement.

However, just when these absent-minded soldiers gathered around to keep warm and steal their mouths, several shadows climbed over the city wall and touched the Yangyi government office.

No one noticed these flashing shadows. Unknowingly, they lurked into the temporary center of Yangyi City, quietly waiting for the arrival of the prey.

□□ Celebration.

When it was time for destiny, the soldiers in the city head climbed up sleepily.

I didn’t dare to drink much wine, but the food filled my stomach.

Clamping his winter coat, a soldier rubbed his eyes and looked out of the city.

This look surprised him.

An army that was ready to form appeared before the city gate.
