The water flows gurglingly.
Compared with previous days, the water level has risen and the water is more turbulent.
On the open grassland on the west bank, the young men recruited from Wancheng had just finished cutting down the wood and began to build a high platform.
Under the high platform, there were many people watching the excitement, most of them were aristocratic families from Nanyang.
The Liu family in Wancheng, the Le family in Chuoyang, the Zong family in Yexian County, the Yu family in Xinye, the Fan family in Shunyang...
These families have local roots, but there are people who are officials in regional centers like Wancheng. They were also invited to participate in today's meeting, so they all came - those who were not invited also squeezed in to join in the fun.
After Chen hour, rhythmic drumming sounded from the north, attracting everyone's attention.
In the gray fortress, the gate was opened, and countless soldiers lined up in neat queues and filed out of the gate.
After walking into the wilderness, under the command of the flag, they moved quickly and got closer.
The big formation in the middle was the first to take shape.
There were a total of six thousand iron-armored warriors, the first row holding swords and shields, followed by an endless jungle of spears.
When he stood solemnly with his weapon in hand, he remained motionless and filled with murderous intent.
A square formation had also been assembled on the left side of the formation. The number of people was around 5,000. There was a little noise and confusion. After roughly organizing the formation, they ran forward for dozens of steps, which was much more protruding than the Silver Spear formation.
Located in front left.
The three thousand men and horses on the right side of the formation are not as good as the Silver Spear Army, but they are much better than the five thousand men in front.
Most of them wore leather armor and held black rifles in their hands. Half of them had rifle bows hanging on their waists. Under the guidance of flags and golden drums, they were slightly behind the silver spear formation by dozens of steps, and were located at the rear right.
After the formation of 14,000 people in the front left, middle, and rear right was completed, thousands more came out of the camp.
They looked the worst. They did not have uniform uniforms and were no different from farmers. Their equipment was also very old, crude and varied.
What was different from the previous three formations was that they led their carriages and horses out of the camp and formed a circle at the rear.
The baggage cart is outside, and the people are standing inside. There are many crossbow machines on the cart. Those who can archery also hold walking bows and look around.
It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of this group of people is very poor, so they can only fall behind and rely on the baggage to form their formation.
When the infantry formed a formation, two thousand cavalry went forward to the two wings and spread out far away. After the infantry formation was completed, they got off their horses and led their horses to stand.
"This..." Under the high platform, the scholars who had planned to watch the excitement suddenly felt their anus tightening, and goosebumps appeared all over their bodies.
"What formation is this?"
"According to the military manual..."
"There are such formations in military books, but they are specious."
"I have heard that in the early years, Chen Gong used this formation, called the 'Moon-Yan Formation'. I heard that when fighting started, this formation would rotate and hit people, mainly attacking the flanks of the enemy's formation."
"Who are those people outside the formation who are standing without standing or sitting without sitting?"
"Those are scattered troops. They are all desperadoes. Some of them have no tomorrow. They wander around the flanks of the formation. When they see the enemy cavalry charging towards them, they dare to go up and fight for their lives with a gun."
"This soldier is a bit fierce."
At first, there were still people chirping and whispering to each other, but as time went on, their legs felt sore just standing there, and that group of people actually still stood in awe with their weapons.
Well, not really.
The formation on the front left was a bit noisy, and the standing order was not as orderly as before.
The three thousand people at the right rear made no noise, but their formation was not as good as before.
The most amazing thing is the six thousand people in the middle, wearing armor and holding guns, standing like puppets until now.
"嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘嘘壘".
Hundreds of riders circled out from behind the formation, ran rampant in front of the formation, and then slowly stopped.
A general in golden armor emerged from the crowd, holding a riding crop and looking high-spirited.
The generals followed closely behind, surrounding him.
More than one person was holding an empty horse in his hand. The horse was saddled and fully equipped with weapons. It was not known whether it was a horse for a fight or used to escape.
In the event of a major defeat, it is also a technical task to avoid riding alone, so it is necessary to prepare more empty horses.
The golden-armored general looked around for a while, then rode his horse to the front of the formation, raising his whip high.
"Kill!" The six thousand soldiers in the Chinese army's formation shouted in unison.
The deafening sound instantly reached the high platform, and everyone looked solemn.
Regardless of whether you looked down on Shao Xun before, whether you criticized his family background, or whether you had a bad opinion of his ambitions, when faced with real military power, it is comparable to what is described in history books.
What "Flags Cover the Sun" is much more shocking.
What you hear and what you see are always different.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The other formations also shouted one after another.
While shouting, he hit the ground rhythmically with his spear pole. The visual and auditory impact was very shocking.
Amidst the deafening shouts, Liang Fen also left the camp, surrounded by generals, staff, and soldiers, and slowly moved forward.
He looked at it intently for a long time, then sighed and got off his horse.
Fu Xuan, Yan Ding and others immediately dismounted.
Fu Xuan was okay and just watched quietly.
However, Yan Ding's face turned pale, and he almost staggered when he dismounted. It was not because he was afraid, but because he was in agitated mood, and his hands and feet were slightly unruly.
He subconsciously glanced behind him.
More than ten thousand troops came out of camp one after another and formed arrays in the wilderness.
To be fair, the personal qualities of these soldiers are actually pretty good.
The survivors who came all the way from Guanzhong - some even from Qinzhou and Liangzhou - who knows what they did along the way.
The weak have been eliminated on the road.
Those who can reach the counties in Mianbei are all strong men and women.
Hu Han and Ding Zhuang, who were arrayed at the moment, were the essence of the entire Mianbei counties. They were fierce, ferocious, and full of wildness. They looked like they were daring to fight.
Of course, they also have weaknesses.
The equipment is so bad!
After all, Liang Fen occupies the Wancheng arsenal, and there is also a large-scale iron smelting workshop nearby, making ordnance day and night, but the people under him still look shabby, and he doesn't know where his equipment has gone.
In addition to the poor equipment, it can also be seen that this unit has not been practicing for long.
In fact, it is understandable. After all, he is usually busy with farm work, so how can he have so much time for training? And Lao Liang also has to provide food and grass for the troops in Wancheng, Xiangyang, Xiangzhou and even Wangdun who put down the Du Tao Rebellion, and the influx of Kansai refugees And it happens every year, and a lot of money and food are needed to resettle it.
The most critical thing is that he did not get the support of the Nanyang nobles and had difficulty raising money and food.
In the final analysis, he did not establish a detached recruiting force.
Shao Xun was also watching from a distance, and when he saw the end, he smiled.
Thousands of people made a fuss and made a fuss for a long time before the troops were roughly organized. This is not an army that is good at fighting.
To put it mildly, these people are still in the rough and need further refinement.
He quickly dismounted and walked forward.
Liang Fen paused for a while and then walked towards each other.
The entourage of both sides stayed behind and watched quietly.
"Mr. Chen."
"Gong Liang."
After the ceremony, Shao Xun glanced at Liang Fen and said with a smile: "After all these years, Mr. Liang's style remains the same."
"It's not as good as Chen Gongyuan." Liang Fen said: "Twenty thousand tiger and wolf troops are arrayed in the wild. With such power, it's a pity that we came to the wrong place."
"It is Duke Liang's intention that these troops should be listed under Pingyang City?" Shao Xun asked.
"If we can't kill the enemy and pacify the people, what's the use of this army?"
"If these three cities in Heyang, north and south of Fangtou, were not surrounded by soldiers, they would not have been built even in ten years, and Luoyang would have been destroyed several times."
Liang Fen sighed.
He knew that he might not be able to fool the person in front of him by talking nonsense. It wasn't that he was not good at eloquence, but that what the other person said was true, and he didn't bother to quibble and didn't like to mess around.
He strolled to the bank of the Feishui River, looked at the water rolling south, and asked: "What is the purpose of Jun Yaobing coming here? To capture me and hold me accountable? Or to force me to resign?"
"Is Mr. Liang willing to resign?"
Liang Fen looked at the newly built houses on the other side of the Feishui River, and after a long time she said, "I don't want to."
"The Emperor has issued an edict." Shao Xun reminded.
Liang Fen turned to look at him, too lazy to talk nonsense.
"What does Liang Gong think of the general trend of the world?" Shao Xun asked, dismissing the question.
"There are no honest men in the dynasty, and the king shows off his power, causing trouble in the world and wasting his energy. Now he is in danger."
"Liang Gong went out to control Wancheng, a huge town in Chijie. With the dangerous mountains and rivers and the important place for boats and vehicles, did he ever worry about it for the imperial court?"
"Gathering the refugees, dividing their fields, providing them with food, and training them into an army, can this be considered sharing their worries?"
Shao Xun shook his head and said: "I heard that I am loyal to the emperor, so I should run for the emperor and do my best to be loyal. Liang Gong secluded his territory to train his troops, refused to defend the angels, and oppressed his father and elders. It doesn't look like he is sharing the emperor's worries."
"I am old. If I were born twenty years late, I might be able to carry my ax and ax and march northward to plunder the land of the Xiongnu and bring it back to China." Liang Fen sighed and said.
After saying that, he looked at Shao Xun again and said: "Mr. Chen, there is no need to ridicule me. Some things can be deceived, but not the heart. If you conquer the Xiongnu, it will be of great benefit to the country and the people. You can praise me as a 'true hero'." I also admire you very much. But it’s true that you respect yourself as a soldier, are good at killing Fang Bo, humiliate your Majesty, and have evil intentions, right?"
Shao Xun stood with his hands behind his hands. When he heard the words "intentional evil", he didn't feel any emotion at all. Instead, he laughed.
But Liang Fen didn't cooperate with him and didn't ask him why he was laughing.
"Mr. Liang, the world is in a state of turmoil, and even high-ranking families cannot escape it. Do you know that you have taken the wrong path in the past and you should not change it?" Shao Xun asked.
Liang Fen remained silent.
"Let's talk about what happened in Guanzhong." Shao Xun said again: "Since the Wannian Rebellion in Qi, how many days have there been peace? Tens of thousands of refugees from different families poured into Nanyang. Who is to blame?"
Liang Fen sighed.
"This world needs to change!" Shao Xun said.
"By whom?" Liang Fen asked.
"It depends on me!" Shao Xun looked at him and said without hesitation: "Just because of my clothes, when we crossed south, I dared to send troops to march north, cover the horse embankment, and fight in Fangtou, killing the Huns. Next, I will We also need to go to Qingzhou, attack Hebei, conquer and merge the states, and enter Guanzhong. How about borrowing what Liang Gong said just now, 'Extract the land of the Xiongnu and put it in China'?"
Liang Fen's expression was a little dazed at first, and then a little sad.
Today, there are very few people still fighting against the Huns.
Among them, the one with the most remarkable results and the greatest results is the person in front of me.
He said that he wanted to "take out the land of the Huns and put it in China." Liang Fen could not refute it.
"Come with me for a walk on the other side." Liang Fen sighed and said suddenly.
