Chapter 030: Ask the heavens to borrow courage

In the depths of Liang Yuzhou's heart, there is a terrible conjecture buried: that is, Zhao Jiuyuan may gamble on everything, the elite of the 60,000 elites, if all of them are pressed to the front line of Wusui and the last fresh force of Northern Liang is annihilated in one fell swoop, then even if Taiyuan is taken, it will be useless!

But in his heart, if he really wants to ask how sure he is, Liang Yuzhou didn't dare to pack a ticket, but this possibility kept echoing in his head.

Most of the generals under him expressed obedience on the surface, but they couldn't help but have doubts in their hearts, now Luoyang is in danger, as the commander of the first army, Liang Yuzhou not only did not save him, but was trapped in this place for an uncertain matter, and they all had more or less complaints in their hearts.

Two days passed......

On a normal day, two days is not too fast, but now it is like a year.

Liang Yuzhou seemed to have a thousand drums roaring in his heart.

He couldn't help but sigh: "If you do a thousand things right, others may not remember you, but if you do one wrong, you will become someone else's handle, and now I don't dare to guarantee that those 60,000 people will not appear!" ”

Someone reassured: "Your lord, you must not blame yourself for this. The lesser of two evils, if you lose this time, the responsibility will not lie with you! ”

"I am the commander of the first army, if I really expect the enemy to make a mistake, it is my responsibility! If Luoyang is lost, how can I see my ancestors? ”

"However, if it is really as the king feared, these 60,000 people all go straight to Wusui, then the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of our Daliang will be attacked on both sides, and they will inevitably be severely damaged, and there is even a danger that the whole army will be annihilated, even if we annihilate all the enemies who invaded Luoyang, we will not be able to recover the situation!"

Han water soaked Liang Yuzhou's armor, "Alas, the soldiers in front are fighting to the death, but we are still guarding this place, I really don't feel good in my heart!" ”

"Although the king is young, since you took charge of the army, you have participated in and planned countless victories, even if you can't win this time, what is it? From ancient times to the present, who can guarantee that they will never miss? ”

Liang Yuzhou shook his head and objected: "This is different, if you miss this time, you will lose countless lives, not to mention, if Luoyang falls, we will be sinners through the ages, and it will be difficult to escape the blame for all deaths!" ”

"The king, the last general thinks that since it is a war, death and injury are inevitable, and it is the luck of all our soldiers to be the king's subordinates. I've lost count of how many times, and there have been almost no major casualties in the battles, so where else can such a good thing be encountered? ”

Liang Yuzhou gently patted Zhou Mi's shoulder and sighed: "Since we met, how many reassuring words have you said to me. But it's weird, if someone else says it, I don't like to hear a word, and their words sound like sycophancy. It's the only thing you say, and it's comfortable to listen to. ”

So several people sat opposite each other and were silent.

"Why haven't you come yet? I'm going crazy...."

Suddenly, a soldier rushed into the tent, panting heavily, trying to say something, but he couldn't speak, only to see him gesturing frantically with his hand.

When Liang Yuzhou and the others saw the soldier's expression, they immediately realized what had happened.

Liang Yuzhou was very excited, and hurriedly asked, "The enemy is coming?" Aren't they coming! ”

The sergeant rested for a moment before he spoke:

"The king is really a god, you are not wrong at all, they moved, the whole army is dispatched!"

"Are you sure you really see clearly?"

"I'm very sure that the remaining 60,000 horses of the Ninth Cavalry Division, plus miscellaneous ones, are at least 80,000 or 90,000!"

"Where are they going?"

"At present, we have crossed the Yellow River and are moving towards Xuchang and Suiyang."

Liang Yuzhou secretly shouted that it was not good, this group of people was too fast, "Who is the commander of the army, and the speed is so fast!" ”

"Zhao Cong? I haven't heard of it, but who is this, and who of you knows about him? ”

Zhou Mi continued: "Zhao Cong, I know, Zhao Jiuyuan's young son, this should be his first time commanding the army, don't worry, don't worry, forgive him for a yellow-mouthed child who hasn't grown any hair, and he can't set off any waves!" ”

"That's not right, Sun Tzu said, arrogant soldiers will be defeated, let's not underestimate anyone." Liang Yuzhou warned the generals.

"Yes!"

"Now that the enemy's movements have been discovered, let's follow the previous plan, block the attack in batches, remember, the cavalry should not take the initiative to attack, protect the two wings of the infantry army, be careful, I will change with you, the first batch is still up to me, I have experience."

"King! The last general implores you to command in the rear, there are only the last general and others in the front battle, so there is no need to worry! ”

"You can't believe this king, that's all it takes, this king is going to take the lead, all ready to go, in a word, in the case of trying to save yourself, block the enemy from reinforcing the enemy!"

"Yes!"

Liang Yuzhou set up the first line of defense in Wanfangzhai - Zhao Cong's only way, which looks unremarkable, but is actually easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Wanfangzhai.

Under Liang Yuzhou's careful arrangement, the soldiers began to build a defensive line.

First of all, Liang Yuzhou ordered people to strengthen the military vehicles, put a long long long Ge on the front of the car, and then lay a layer of camouflage enough, if you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all, he will these military vehicles along the Wanfang Village firmly around a few big circles, a full six square teams, once the enemy's cavalry charges, these military vehicles will greatly reduce the impact of the cavalry, but also cause effective damage to the enemy.

The key to the defense lies in the second line of defense, due to terrain restrictions, Wanfangzhai can accommodate up to 6,000 people, and Liang Yuzhou only brought 5,000 people for the concealment and suddenness of the action.

Therefore, the second line of defense has become a life-and-death existence.

In order to consolidate the defensive line, Liang Yuzhou transferred almost all the weapons he had transformed before - it was originally to deal with Ulez, so he took Zhao Cong to test the water first!

Liang Yuzhou carefully selected 5,000 sergeants, all of whom were battle-hardened and had extremely high psychological qualities.

Thanks to his background in military science and a sergeant enthusiast, he easily modified the weapon to the look he wanted!

The first is the repeater, the capacity of the crossbow has been directly doubled, from ten shots at a time to twenty rounds at a time, and only one more person is needed to operate; Secondly, based on what he had learned, and with what he had seen in his previous travels to various countries, he had created an enhanced version of the three-bow bed crossbow, which had a range of up to 1,800 paces, and was definitely the longest-range weapon now.

Ordinary bows and arrows have also been modified, and the design methods of compound bows have at least doubled their power and more than half their weight.

During his doctoral studies, Liang Yuzhou advocated the beheading operation, and when he came to Beiliang, he certainly would not give up this commemoration.

So, at this moment and now, the most vicious weapons were born, two specially made reinforced bed crossbows, with improvised sighting equipment, which required ten soldiers to operate, and arrows that were constantly quenched with such harmful substances as lead, chromium, and arsenic from the time they were made.

Liang Yuzhou may feel that he is afraid that the person who is hit by the arrow will die thoroughly, so he also deliberately found the arrow poison wood, carefully squeezed the sap of the arrow, and brought a little sodium tripolyphosphate on his body when he crossed, just as a water-retaining agent, so that before launching the arrow, he only needs to dipped the arrow with venom to ensure that the arrow is sealed with a sword.

With these weapons, Liang Yuzhou is full of confidence, and he is confident that he can make Zhao Cong suffer a little!
