Chapter 534: The Battle of Shuofang
The news that Hou Sansuo's troops had repelled the 300,000 troops who came to reinforce it quickly spread to the Chinese army that was attacking Shuofang through the Flying Eagle. ^^
By the misty morning light, Lu Heng glanced at the letter and smiled slightly. Then he handed the letter to the prince Xiaowu on the side. After Xiao Wu glanced at it, his eyes were full of shock, and then after transferring the letter to the stunned Zhou Yafu on his side, he looked at the teacher in surprise.
"Believe it, huh?" Lu Heng turned his head, glanced at the prince, and asked with a smile.
Some time ago, when Zhang Fei returned to the barracks after visiting his relatives. The prince was confused as to why the teacher liked this strong man with five big and three thick.
At that time, he asked Lu Heng about this matter. Lu Heng didn't answer him at the time, but just smiled and said to him, wait and see.
Now, when the prince looked at Zhang Fei's brilliant achievements in the military newspaper, he sighed in his heart that he didn't know anyone, and he admired the teacher's vision beyond measure.
"Don't look at me like that!" Although Lu Heng didn't turn his head, he could still sense that beside him, Xiao Wu clenched his fists and looked at his adoring gaze.
"It's still the same thing I told you before!" Lu Heng took the telescope from Ah Gui's hand, and while looking at the battle ahead, he said to Xiao Wu: "It's just a matter of knowing people and being good at their duties." In this world, except for a very small number of people, they are all useful talents. The key is to see, where you put him! ”
Beside him, after Xiao Wu heard these words, he thought about it carefully, his face was suddenly shocked, and he bowed down and saluted Lu Heng: "Students are taught!" ”
Lu Heng, who was holding the binoculars, smiled and said lightly: "Watch this battle carefully, and when the battle is over, write a strategy, write well, and use snacks." Go back and show your grandfather! That old man has been talking about you! ”
Although Lu Heng said it easily, Xiao Wu could still hear the teacher's ardent expectations for him from the teacher's words. After taking a deep breath, he straightened up his clothes and arched his hand, "The disciple will definitely not disappoint the teacher!" ”
"Not only me, but also your imperial grandfather, and all the people in this world!" Lu Heng smiled and corrected kindly.
"Yes!" Xiao Wu looked solemn and saluted again.
On the side, Ah Gui was stealing the air, holding back a smile, and maliciously instructed General Zhou Yafu to read and read the military newspaper.
Today's Agui is no longer the white Ding who didn't know a lot of big characters before. Maybe it's because I've been following Lu Heng for a long time, and I have the demeanor of a scribe in every move.
However, the appearance is still the appearance. *.**/* In private, Agui is still the one who loves Edser.
He learned to read and write, and now his greatest pleasure, in addition to practicing martial arts, is to make a well-educated person, teach some of the elders in the army to read and write, and then hold his arms and listen to other people's compliments with a look of enjoyment.
On the side, Zhou Yafu and under the guidance of Agui's reminder, it took a long time to finally finish reading this military newspaper.
"What a tiger general!" Zhou Yafu touched his beard and nodded in praise, his eyes did not hide his appreciation.
Then, he bowed to His Royal Highness the Prince, who was standing beside Lu Heng with a red face with excitement, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is really blessed to have such a fierce general!" ”
Back then, when he followed the emperor to quell the rebellion in Shudi. At that time, Zhou Yafu was still a small soldier, and he was the first to rush to the Sword Gate. This scene happened to be seen by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. After laying down the sword gate, Zhou Yafu was directly promoted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the captain of Wupin. After the rebellion in Shu was completely quelled, he was already a general from Sipin.
Now, seeing such a rising star, the old general touched his gray beard and smiled, feeling quite nostalgic in his heart.
Coupled with the young general who is now galloping across the Turkic territory and showing off his might, who said that there is no successor in our Great Zhou military circles?
Seeing Zhou Yafu's relieved look, Lu Heng glanced at him, turned his head, and smiled slightly.
Ahead, under the rising sun, the Shuofang City, which was known as the impregnable city, had collapsed at this time after nearly an hour of shelling, and wolf smoke was everywhere. A ruined elephant.
At this time, the artillery on the high ground also suspended the attack because the barrel of the gun was hot.
Lu Heng turned his head and glanced at the fat man who was urinating on the high ground and was urinating towards the barrel of the cannon, trying to cool down. Smiling slightly, he turned his head and glanced at Shuofang City.
The sun rises from the southeast, and the bright light of dawn suddenly breaks through the darkness and spills onto the earth. After a long night of sleeplessness, Lu Heng seemed to have some difficulty adapting to this sudden light for a while, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at the messy Shuofang City. said lightly: "General Zhou, it's up to you next!" ”
"Yes!" Zhou Yafu gave a deep voice to the order, and then strode towards the army stationed in the high ground.
Lu Heng took advantage of the still somewhat hazy dawn and looked towards the army of the high underground.
I watched Zhou Yafu turn over and get on his horse vigorously, and led the army to rush towards Shuofang City. Only then did he turn his head and nodded to Wang Xirang who walked down from the high platform.
"Well done!" Lu Heng smiled and threw him a water bladder.
"Hey!" Wang Xirang smiled bitterly, raised his hand and wiped the smoke on his face, then sat on the ground, shook his head with a wry smile: "Except for saying a word and starting, I didn't do anything." ”
"What do you think?" After Lu Heng glanced at him, his gaze moved to Zhou Yafu's department again, who had already rushed to Shuofang City and was in close contact with the Turks. While watching calmly, he asked a question that seemed to be very casual.
"It is very powerful, and even in some cases, these divine weapons have a decisive effect on the entire battle!" Wang Xirang knew that the military advisor was calling him, and after thinking for a while, he said word by word. When he spoke, Wang Xirang also secretly glanced at the military advisor, trying to find out what he said badly from the military advisor's face.
However, what disappointed him was that the military advisor had always been smiling, and his expression was as usual.
Neither retort nor nod.
Wang Xirang retracted his gaze, lowered his head and thought about it carefully, and then added: "However, the last general thinks that the most crucial factor in determining a war is still people!?" ”
Lu Heng listened quietly, never refutated, and his expression flickered in his eyes staring ahead. The expression on his face was also relatively calm. It seems that he did not listen carefully to Wang Xirang's words.
After waiting for a while, he didn't wait for Wang Xirang's answer. Lu Heng smiled, and after retracting his gaze from the battlefield in front of him, he turned his head and glanced at Wang Xirang: "It's over?" ”
Wang Xirang heard the trace of loss in the military advisor's voice, and after blushing for a moment, he lowered his head and said: "The last general, the last general can only think of this!" ”
Lu Heng didn't blame him, his eyes looked ahead lightly, and through the binoculars, he could clearly see that Zhou Yafu's army had already entered Shuofang City.
"This question, when I was in Goryeo, I also asked Duan Peng, do you know how he answered?" Lu Heng put down the binoculars in his hand, turned his head, and asked Wang Xi with a warm smile on his face.
"What did he say?" Speaking of Duan Peng, Wang Xirang suddenly became interested and looked at Lu Heng curiously.
"He said, this cannon is really powerful, if only it were a little smaller, it could be held in his arms and used like a knife and gun!" Lu Heng seemed to recall Duan Peng's stunned appearance that day, and he was quite amused for a while, shaking his head and saying.
Wang Xirang frowned and thought hard, as if he was thinking about the intention of the military advisor Duan Peng's words.
Seeing Wang Xirang frowning and thinking hard, Lu Heng smiled and said lightly: "Actually, to put it bluntly, it is vision, or forward-looking!" ”
Duan Peng was not only aware of the power of firearms, but also realized the importance that gunpowder weapons would play in the war for a long time to come. Duan Peng has understood that the future war will be the world of firearms. In this way, he will begin to study the methods of firearms warfare in a targeted manner. Lu Heng smiled slightly, and after a slight pause in his voice, he turned his head and looked at the thoughtful Wang Xirang and said, "To be clear, Duan Peng's vision is already much beyond yours!" That's why I asked him to lead the team to the Western Front alone and take on the task of fighting on the Western Front! ”
"You must know that the most important condition for becoming a commander is forward-looking vision!" Lu Heng pointed to the back of his head, smiled slightly, and looked at Wang Xirang with burning eyes: "What do you think, General Wang?" ”
After Wang Xirang savored Lu Heng's words, when he raised his head, his eyes were already bright, and he looked deeply at the military advisor in front of him, Wang Xirang took a step back and bowed: "Thank you for the military advisor!" The last will be grateful! ”
Seeing that he figured it out, Lu Heng was also quite happy.
After laughing out loud, he stretched out his hand and pointed to Shuofang City in front of him, turned his head to look at Wang Xirang, who was looking grateful, and said, "It's not too late to say thank you later, I'll give you a task now." You immediately take someone and give you an hour to go and wipe out the barren grass a hundred meters away from Shuofang City! ”
Lu Heng raised his head and glanced at the red sun, which had jumped out of the high horizon, and said to himself: "About nothing, in another hour, Hou San and they will come over with their tails!" ”
Wang Xirang nodded and turned to leave.
"Childe, Xu Liang's people are here!" After Wang Xirang left, Lu Heng just sat down and took a sip of water. I saw Agui walking over with a black and thin man.
"All ready?" Lu Heng pointed to the stone on one side and motioned for the man to sit down.
The man smiled stiffly, but did not sit down. just bowed to Lu Heng, nodded and said, "If you return to the military division, everything is ready." Just wait for your command! ”
Hearing this, Lu Heng nodded slightly.
In the air, there was a strong smell of tung oil on this man's body, and this smell drifted into Lu Heng's nose faintly.
Lu Heng turned his head and glanced at the undulating withered grass on the vast grassland. After taking a deep breath, his face was calm, and he said lightly: "So, very good!" ”
