Chapter 120, Battle of Longyang (8)

On April 18, 999, the Central and Southern Empire province, Zhongdu Longyang.

When the brilliance of the rising sun on the new day is spread on the tall and majestic city wall of Longyang, the red flag with three big characters "Kuanglan Army" written on it and the green flag with "Fanwu Army" written on it next to it is like the brightest red clouds and blue clouds in the sky, waving in the morning breeze. Let the Han family enter and leave people's hearts be excited.

When the high-spirited man standing on the city wall looked at the army below the city, a group of Han soldiers finally couldn't help cheering: "We are heroes!"

And many Han people who saw this scene also walked on the streets and shouted excitedly.

At this moment, no one came to stop them because they had been waiting for this day for three months.

The Han people looked at these warriors fighting to protect themselves and their country with a kind of care and respect; while the remnants of the Western Alliance looked at these Han soldiers who were as ruthless as ghosts on the night just past.

Suddenly, like the spring breeze, suddenly entering the tiger, which one is their true face. No matter how contradictory and complex the mood these Western coalition soldiers were, Longyang, the Zhongdu of the Empire, finally returned to the hands of the empire after three months of falling.

The land of Central and Southern China has changed hands.

~~~~~~~~

At this moment, in the command of the Fenwu Army in Longcheng, and in the command of the Central and South China Provincial Committee of the Western Allied Forces, which was later occupied by the Western Allied Forces, officers of the Kuanglan Army and the Fenwu Army and above were gathered together, sitting next to the long congress table.

At one end of the table, the commander of the Imperial Rambling Army Legion was Lei Dongfeng.

At this moment, all the generals looked at Lei Dongfeng with excitement. It was the young man in front of him who had a strong expression. He led them to complete the feat of restoring Zhongdu Longyang last night. Moreover, in the battle, the Emperor** people were injured in a total of less than a hundred people. These were enough to make them proud and proud as soldiers.

In the hearts of these young officers with an average age of only 25 years old, Lei Dongfeng, who was just 21 years old, was simply their role model, the example of all emperors, brave and heroic, and would not abandon their subordinates, and had extremely high strategic qualities and personal martial arts. Such a person was simply born for such a chaotic world.

Don’t say that ruthlessness can achieve hegemony. People who have truly succeeded in history have human emotions, while perverts without human feelings can only achieve results in a small range at a certain time. If you want to be accepted by everyone, you must not.

In fact, from the moment Lei Dongfeng cried and sacrificed for the war, no one doubted whether the young man in front of him could lead them to success, but how far he would take them?

In the hearts of these soldiers, in this great era, there are many high-ranking officials and families who are in power. Lei Dongfeng represents the ideals of these young soldiers, which will destroy the decay and depravity, and make the ideals more glorious.

Lei Dongfeng obviously did not have so many complicated mentalities. Although he no longer worked hard to survive in this time and space as he first came to this time and space, he always took it as his responsibility to lead those who trust him to gain new life and happiness. Moreover, these experiences of war also somewhat satisfy his ideal of killing enemies and serving the country.

Lei Dongfeng's psychology is actually a kind of self-compulsiveness. His personality determines that he cannot abandon the people around him, so he cannot be absolutely cold-blooded.

At this moment, Lei Dongfeng glanced at the generals under his seat, but he felt a lot of emotion in his heart and said loudly: "You guys, you and others bravely fought against the enemy last night and overcoming Longyang will surely be recorded in history!"

When the generals heard this, they whispered another excited whisper. Lei Dongfeng's first words aroused the interest of the generals indoors.

Lei Dongfeng did not stop everyone's whispers. In this case, everyone was in a hurry and there was no need to blame him.

"Surrendering Longyang is just a step to defeat the Western Confrontation. In the future, we will have to face the counterattack of the Western Allied Forces. Moreover, for this step, many brothers sprinkled blood from the Central and Southern regions, and they will never have the chance to see today's Longyang. Now let us salute the robes who died in this battle." Lei Dongfeng said in a deep voice, stood up, and his right fist was crossed in front of his chest.

All the generals stood up together and solemnly performed a standard military salute. At this moment, when they heard Lei Dongfeng say, everyone felt very sad. After the battle last night, the loss of the Han soldiers was already very small, but there were still more than a dozen brothers who could no longer see the sun on the next day. In the past few months, there have been tens of thousands of Han children who have died bloodshed. If the war continues, how many people will die?

"But we never regret it. The Han people and the Han Empire, the most important thing is to sacrifice for this country! We are also afraid of death. We also have parents, brothers, and sisters. They are waiting for us to go back. But since we are imperial people and soldiers of the Han family, we must be loyal to the country and sacrifice for the safety of more parents, brothers, and sisters. Since this is the case, we are the heroes of the Han family!" A trace of tears flashed in Lei Dongfeng's eyes.

"The towering green mountains, cold and red tassels, and the green blood is like waves. The iron cavalry is like the wind, fighting against the foreign race, why cherish this life, defend my great man, promote my reputation, and protect the country with my loyalty!" Jiang Zhuying looked excited, looked at Lei Dongfeng, and took the lead in singing the Emperor's song that had been passed down for thousands of years.

This song of Emperor ** was once the battle song of the Flying Tiger Army, the most powerful cavalry corps in the empire, and was later changed to Emperor ** Song by Taizu.

This passionate and powerful song once sounded over the turbulent dragon city, and was also sung by everyone at the most difficult time of the Battle of Tongguan. Now, at the moment of restoring Longyang, these iron-blooded Han men and soldiers sang this song again with tears in their eyes, but they were full of passion and spirits.

~~~~~~~~

Zhongdu Longyang was successfully recovered by Lei Dongfeng and others. The general who defended the city, Menger, the commander of the ten thousand men of the Duchy of Teutonic, was captured, and Bruceconi, the commander of the Duchy of Rodan, was killed in the chaos. The more than 10,000 Western coalition soldiers, including more than 1,000 Xianbei cavalry, who were guarding the city, except for a few who died in the chaos, either revolt or surrendered. The entire army was wiped out.

As for Tuoba Hongchuan and Qifuluo, who were left in Zhongdu to recover from their injuries, they were unwilling to surrender, but under the persuasion of the Taishang Taoist Temple Dao Xu Huanzong and the former commander of the Xianbei Qinggan Army Qinggan Army division, Dugu Haoyun, the current commander of the cavalry division of the Kuanglan Army, he had no choice but to surrender to Lei Dongfeng.

All the generals, especially Li Yan, were very dissatisfied with Tuoba Hongchuan's attitude and did not even advocate surrender. However, they were criticized by Li Ruoxi. Under the "pressure" of his sister, Li Yan wisely chose to shut up.

Lei Dongfeng also said that as long as Duan Yichen is willing to surrender after the Imperial Team fully recovers the Central and Southern Provinces, they can be let go and search for Duan Yichen again.

Lei Dongfeng was found from the Three Kingdoms. However, due to Taizu's time travel, I thought that Guan Gong had not even had any chance of surrendering to Cao.

However, some old friends can still learn the experiences, but Lei Dongfeng is not Cao Cao. He only respects professional soldiers like Tuoba Hongchuan and Qifuluo. After all, they were not their decision to rebel that day, and they did not do anything too radical. Of course, if they rebel against the empire again or follow Duan Yichen to continue attacking the Han soldiers, then Lei Dongfeng would not mind killing them on the spot after capturing them next time.

Lei Dongfeng is not a ruthless person, but he does not avoid iron-blooded punishment.

As the saying goes, throw it with peaches and repay it with Li. Tuoba Hongchuan and Qifuluo did not understand Lei Dongfeng's true thoughts, but they were also very grateful to Lei Dongfeng's heart. At least this can be seen by their actions of actively assisting the Kuanglan Army in integrating the Xianbei soldiers under his command and placing the location of Als in a armory in Longyang.

Tuoba Hongchuan, a man with a thick and thin man, did not tell Lei Dongfeng that before leaving Longyang, Duan Yichen told Tuoba Hongchuan that if the Han soldiers captured Longyang, they would not fight to the death, but surrender, and even help Lei Dongfeng, they would help persuade Qifuluo to be stubborn.

Although I don’t understand why Duan Yichen had such an idea, Tuoba Hongchuan, who has always regarded Duan Yichen as his idol, believes that this hero on the grassland will not deceive him. Moreover, Lei Dongfeng is really interested in Tuoba Hongchuan, so Tuoba Hongchuan simply calmed down and joined Lei Dongfeng’s Kuanglan Army.

At this moment, the cavalry under Lei Dongfeng deducted more than 1,000 people from the Fenwu Army, and more than 6,000 people, of which 4,000 were Xianbei Light Cavalry, two thousand were the former Han cavalry, and more than 2,000 people were led by Jing Zhan to cruise near Anyang Prefecture.

However, most of the four thousand Xianbei light cavalry have been adapted by Lei Dongfeng and mixed with the original Han army and cavalry. In Lei Dongfeng's words, the Xianbei of the Han Dynasty was originally a family, and they were all people of the Han Empire. There was no distinction between Han and Xian in the Kuanglan Army. All soldiers were Han soldiers, and all cavalry were Kuanglan Feiqi cavalry.

In fact, Lei Dongfeng has always disagreed with Taizu's method of splitting the fresh Han system. In the early days of Taizu's founding, in order to assimilate the Xianbei, he adopted the practice of migrating the Han people to the grassland areas to clear the land, and encouraged intermarriage between Han and Xian.

However, Taizu adopted a unique system method for the Xianbei clan, allowing the Xianbei to form several armies.

In Lei Dongfeng's view, under this semi-feudal rule, adopting regional autonomy is equivalent to weakening its own centralization. Moreover, the Han people may not be able to respect the Xianbei, and the Xianbei does not appreciate the Han people. Not only do they not think that Taizu's preferential policies for them were a kind of care, but they even believed that the Han people were all cunning and assimilated the noble Xianbei blood through soft knives. The so-called policies were insults to them.

Thousands of years later, the easy rebellion of the Xianbei under the agitated Western conspiracy proved the failure of this national strategy.

Therefore, Lei Dongfeng believed that this was better than some Han Xian. He allowed Han Xian to migrate freely and was equal in policy. The so-called Xianbei legions were no longer set up in the army. They were all children of our Han family, so they were just a name - Han soldiers! Since the Battle of Tongguan, when the Xianbei army was reorganized, Lei Dongfeng began this practice of reorganization.
