Chapter 289: Who's in Charge? Who from?

"No blame, you have traveled long distances with so many infantry troops, and you are not afraid of becoming a drag?" When he saw the infantry officers and soldiers in Lingzhou, their legs tied to their horses, and their upper bodies staggering away, they couldn't help frowning and turned their heads to look at Li Zhongyi.

After the two families got married, Ruan's attitude towards Li Zhongyi was naturally much closer than before, and his speech was much more casual.

Li Zhongyi smiled faintly and explained: "I won't tell you that the Tuoba family's attack on Fuzhou this time must be dominated by cavalry, and the lack of horses in the Jinyang army should be mostly infantry troops. ”

Seeing that Zhicongruan nodded in agreement with his point of view, Li Zhongyi went on to explain: "After our army occupied Xiazhou, although there were a lot more war horses, the combat ability of the cavalry did not improve substantially. Once we start a cavalry duel with the Tuoba family, the outcome is really unpredictable. ”

Zhi Congruan heard the unfinished meaning of Li Zhongyi's words, and couldn't help asking: "Could it be that your infantry has the trick of restraining cavalry?" ”

Li Zhongyi nodded, and said with a smile: "I think you also know, whether it is riding a bow or riding a crossbow, it is much worse than the power of a bow and a crossbow." In case, the cavalry under Guo Huai is not the opponent of Tuoba Yiyin's party cavalry, as long as the two thousand infantry troops set up a formation to block it, our army will also have the capital to suppress the formation. ”

Fold Ruan's eyes flashed slightly, although Li Zhongyi said it very tactfully, in fact, in his bones, what he believed most was the combat power of the Lingzhou infantry army.

"According to what you say, could it be that you still have a lot of secret weapons hidden, just like the collapse of the city wall of Xiazhou?"

To see is to believe. Hearing is false, Li Zhongyi's subordinates collapsed the gate tower of Tongwan City without much effort. The concept of war has been distorted in a very incongruous way.

However, as the hero of the northwest, Zhe Congruan, after all, has led troops to fight for many years, and is a well-informed and undefeated famous general.

Through the fact that Xiazhou was breached by the light yì, Zhe saw from Ruan Fenming, leaning on the strong city wall. The inherent combat concept of defending the city is about to be completely outdated!

Since they are already relatives of each other, Li Zhongyi considered a better deterrent to the old warlord Zhe Congruan. He simply gave him a bigger wind, "According to the structure of training on weekdays, the infantry under my command can be in less than half an hour. Set aside a large array to block the cavalry onslaught. Moreover, it can make the invading enemy suffer heavy losses. ”

"Oh, you mean, just these carts?" Zhe Congruan pursed his lips and raised his hand to the shield car battalion that was walking beside him.

"Hehe, it's not all, these shield carts are just the first step, and there are burning cans and divine arm crossbows behind them. The auxiliary coordination of the Divine Arm Bow. ”

As early as when Li Zhongyi left Kaifeng, he asked Chai Rong for a group of craftsmen from the bow and crossbow workshop. It is used to solve the problem of the manufacture of weapons.

After more than a year of exploration, these craftsmen, under the guidance and support of Li Zhongyi, have found an effective way to transform the old crossbow into a new one.

There is no way to transform the old crossbow!

To make a brand new Divine Arm Bow or Crossbow, it takes at least four years from the time the material is taken to the time when the zuò is completed.

However, Lingzhou is located in the northwest corner, and there are very few craftsmen who understand technology, and although there are many materials for making new crossbows (including cow tendons, cow horns, etc.), Li Zhongyi is completely unsure that Chai Rong will allow him to exhibit in the northwest for more than four years.

Therefore, although the power of the old remodeled bow and crossbow cannot catch up with the newly designed Divine Arm Bow and Crossbow, it is also much more powerful than the old bow and crossbow.

"Divine Arm Bow, Crossbow?" Zhe Congruan felt that it was very new, and he had always been very interested in all new weapons related to warfare.

Li Zhongyi used both hands together and roughly compared the shape of the divine arm bow, but did not elaborate in depth.

Even if Fold Congruan is Li Zhongyi's future father-in-law, Li Zhongyi has no reason to fold the heavy weapons in the army to Ruan for no reason.

Although Zhe Congruan is willing to get close to Li Zhongyi, after all, he is old, and the current head of the Zhe family is Zhe Saihua's father, Zhe Deran.

Unless Zhe Deyan is willing to bind the future of the entire family to Li Zhongyi and form an inseparable blood alliance with him, Li Zhongyi can possibly consider whether to give the Zhe family a little sweetness?

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Li Zhongyi tossed a musket suitable for actual combat, so even if the divine arm bow is given to the Zhejia, it is not a big deal.

After all, he saw that Li Zhongyi was a little vague, and he was embarrassed to continue to ask with a cheeky face.

The reason is simple, even if Zhe Saihua marries Li Zhongyi, it is impossible for this Li family's things to return to the Zhe family at no cost.

Due to the abundance of horsepower, the march of one person with two horses, or even three horses, is indeed amazingly fast.

In just over two days, more than 12,000 reinforcements from Xiazhou had galloped along the old Great Wall for nearly 400 miles, crossed the branch of the Wuding River, and arrived at Noguchizui on the southwest bank of the Kuye River in the evening.

The Kuye River, originating in the Great Desert of Yijin Horo, flows through the Guanjing of Fuzhou, passes through the city of Linzhou, and finally joins the Yellow River.

The Yijin Horo Desert, which is only the name of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, has a relatively loud name after entering the modern era: Mu Us Desert.

When he arrived at his own territory, he should have been happy, but when he saw the tragic situation of all the villages along the river being destroyed and slaughtered, his heart was extremely heavy.

The border areas of Fuzhou are already so dilapidated, you can imagine how bad the situation under the city of Fuzhou is?

Before the Dangxiang people annexed Lingzhou and Yanzhou and established the Great White High Kingdom, like the Khitans, they relied on "fighting grass valleys" to obtain resources for warfare.

The grass valley of the party is no different from the Khitans, that is, the ancient copy of the so-called three-light policy of the Japanese army that invaded China.

Previously, Fuzhou, which was besieged and had no reinforcements from outside, and its strength was gradually approaching exhaustion, suffered heavy losses.

Zhe Congruan himself knows very well in his heart, and protecting the hundreds of thousands of people in Benzhou into the city of Fuzhou is actually a very unrealistic fantasy.

What should I do if I don't have enough food to eat? What should I do if I don't have enough firewood to burn? With so many people flocking into the small prefecture, they must have not fought, and they were in chaos first!

"Alas, the war is endless, and the people are the most bitter!" Although Zhecongruan is a descendant of the Zhedug family, because he is full of poetry and books, his sinicization is extremely strict, and his feelings of Confucian scholars and doctors are remarkable.

Li Zhongyi nodded and said, "What you said is too right, the family does not bully outsiders, the troubled times have been long enough, and it should be over." His Majesty is thinking about it, and if he wants to unify his homeland in China, the younger generation plans to do the same. ”

Ruan Liang was speechless for a long time, Chai Rong wanted to unify the homeland of the Tang Dynasty, he had already heard of it, and it was not surprising at all.

It's just that Li Zhongyi, this kid, also has such a strong idea of unification, which is indeed unexpected by Ruan.

Seeing that Ruan was staring at him with a distracted face, Li Zhongyi looked at the other side of the barren river, and sighed abruptly: "Not to mention, Shi Jingjiao, who betrayed the country and sought glory in the Later Jin Dynasty, gave the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures to the Khitans, and I have no danger to defend in China from now on, this sin is simply unwritten." If I can't gather sand into a tower, my descendants of Yan and Huang and the people of the Great Han can only be swallowed by the alien race one bite at a time! ”

Zhe Congruan couldn't help but be silent for a while, when the Tang Dynasty was in full swing, the Zhe family had been staying in Linzhou, at that time, the prestige of the Tian Khan, shocked the four yi, so that all the people worshipped, and the Zhe family was also honored!

After the death of the Tang Dynasty, the heroes rose together, the feudal towns were divided, and the world was in chaos. In order to compete for power and profit, warlords in various places regard human life as a mustard, praise the barbarians as their father's country, and make trouble in the land of the Han family, which is full of smoke and miasma, and belittles the mourning of the Hong.

It's just that Zhe Congruan also understands in his heart that it is precisely because of the troubled times that the Zhe family can occupy the land of Fuzhou and achieve the foundation of standing proudly in the world.

Regarding the concerns of Zhe Congruan, Li Zhongyi should be said to know very well, warlords, who regard territory as their life, will definitely try their best to maintain the special status of the princes of one side.

Li Zhongyi has always been a theorist of temple strength, many things, words alone can't solve any problems, and at critical moments, he can only rely on a powerful gun to speak.

Therefore, Li Zhongyi only relied on the river and felt it, and did not persuade Zhe Congruan to immediately give up the good foundation of the Zhe family and take the initiative to take refuge in Da Zhou.

When the force of the Great Zhou is so strong that it is overwhelming, even if he does not want to submit to Ruan, he must think carefully about the consequences of confrontation!

After Zhe Congruan put aside his irrelevant feelings, he glanced at Li Zhongyi deeply, and said casually: "No blame, as long as you don't choose to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and deliberately watch my Fuzhou bleed too much, I am willing to swear to the sky with blood, and the Zhe family will always stand with you, share risks, honor and disgrace, and never give up." ”

Li Zhongyi looked at Zhe Congruan interestingly, smiled hehe, and said, "Old lady, does Zhefu Prefecture also have the same idea as you?" ”

Zhe Congruan blew his beard and glared, and said angrily: "Does he dare not listen to the old man?" ”

Li and Zhe are both extremely shrewd people, Li Zhongyi has the ability to cross the river without raising fire, but he deliberately stationed troops on the bank of the Guye River, the connotation of which is not known to the old and refined Zhe Congruan?

Whether it is a military alliance or a political alliance, it needs strength and interests as the foundation!

Although Li Zhongyi has become the quasi-uncle of the folding family, but he has consumed the strength of the Lingzhou army in vain, but he has not taken back any benefits, even if Li Zhongyi covers the sky with his prestige in Lingzhou, I am afraid it will be difficult to block the complaints of the officer group to which he belongs.

As the old saying goes, when you are in the temple, you can't help yourself!

Li Zhongyi is not only the uncle of the Zhe family, but also the brain of the Lingzhou Military Group, and he has the obligation to safeguard the fundamental interests of his subordinates.

Since it is an alliance, it will inevitably be divided into master and slave, otherwise, the two ends often quarrel and cooperate closely, and there will be no way to talk about it.

The attitude that Zhe Congruan just expressed clearly told Li Zhongyi that the entire Zhe family was willing to follow him, share the blessings and bear the difficulties together.

Li Zhongyi shook a shot, crossed Zhe Congruan, and focused on Zhe Deyan's body, which can be described as sharp to the point! (To be continued......)
