Datang Longya

Chapter 54 Li Ke's Doubts

Only "bolt from the blue" can describe that loud bang!
This is the real headshot!

The grenade exploded, and the shock wave blasted Mo Tuwutou's body into the air, and the shattered fragments flew everywhere, causing many deaths and injuries to the surrounding people!

Zhang Wen watched everything that happened from a distance, and didn't even realize that the bow fell to the ground. He stretched out his hands and rubbed his eyes to look again...it's true!

This... this is really a shock!

Zhang Wen immediately looked at Leng Feng with eyes of worshiping God, he is worthy of being an expert in the world!He heard before that the owner of the Tianxia Building can perform power on the third floor and penetrate the bluestone through the air. He didn't believe it before, but now he has witnessed a new miracle with his own eyes!

Leng Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Zhang Wen: "Okay, don't look at it, I will make you some arrow-shaped lightning bolts in the future, with your archery skills, tsk tsk..."

Zhang Wen imagined the scene where he shot an arrow, and the enemy's horses and horses flew in all directions, and his saliva immediately flowed out.

If the bow and arrow were changed to a style with gunpowder inside, Zhang Wen would be a human-shaped grenadier, or a human-shaped cannon?

The formula of black powder is very simple, just sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal. Although Leng Feng knows the formula, he has never made it himself. After all, TNT is more refreshing to use. The melon grenade sold in the old American black market is all over the world. Who would know it? Go homebrew!
Yang Yi's personal attributes determine his wretched behavior. This guy actually put on a leather armor to find Mo Tu's head when the Turkic people at the foot of the mountain were frightened. The rotten red fox fur cloak was brought back.

Yang Yi handed the cloak to Leng Feng: "Tsk tsk, Mo Tu's head has not been found, so it is okay to use his cloak as a witness."

"You take it yourself."

Leng Feng didn't pick it up, so it doesn't matter whether he gets the credit or not.

"They are starting to level the road again, Boss, do you want to kill for a while?"

There is still blood on Er Gouzi's shoulder, which is the injury he received when defending Leng Feng against the attack, which made him extremely annoyed, he killed so many members of the Salt Gang, and killed so many rebels without being injured. The injury record was broken in the hands of the Turks!

Leng Feng looked at the dust raised by a large number of war horses: "Withdraw, the opponent's large army is coming, a thousand Turkic cavalry can trap us, and the next one will be more than 3. I don't know what Li Jing's plan is for doing this. I plan to ask ask him."

……

Li Jing pointed to the stick figure map: "It's true that this is a group of mountains, but most of them are cliffs with jagged rocks. The only place where people and horses can pass safely is the river beach here. But they don't know that this river beach ends with a three-sided cliff dead end!"

Leng Feng looked at the map carefully, and knew what Li Jing said was true, horses in the prairie don't go into the mountains, this is a precept that a prairie person should learn.

It's a pity that Mo Tu died on the small road just entering the mountain, and the remaining Turkic generals are full of brains and muscles.

"Three cliffs, as long as I build a fortification at the only exit and put up a crossbow, these barbarians will be a turtle in the jar! We don't need any soldiers to die!"

More than 1000 casualties!There is no reason for you to kill others in a war. The fierce troops were all wounded. Five of the Xuanjia Army died in battle. Seventy-two of the Vanguard Battalion died in the assault. Legionnaires were killed and wounded in battle.

At this time, the wounded barracks was overcrowded. Li Ke directed the soldiers to expand the barracks of the wounded barracks. He couldn't bear to hear the wailing coming from the disposal room, and slowly lowered his head.

Leng Feng didn't know when he stood in front of Li Ke and rubbed his head: "What's wrong?"

Li Ke said in a low voice: "Master, why do countries have to fight with each other? People die when they fight."

After all, Li Ke was still a child, commanding the craftsmen to build a house made him proud, and going to Binzhou made his blood boil, but after another big battle, it aroused his doubts.

There is never a precise answer to this question.

Clausewitz said: War is an act of violence to force the enemy to obey our will.This is applicable to many modern wars, but it will not work in the Tang Dynasty.

The boring idea of ​​making the enemy obey one's will will only be born after the material conditions are met.But in this era when the whole people can't get enough to eat, the thinking that dominates the war is food and minerals.

Leng Feng led Li Ke to ride a horse to the nearby grassland, looking far and wide, there were withered and yellow grass everywhere.

"Look, Li Ke, this is the grassland. Grassland people live by grazing and do not grow food. Every autumn and winter, when it is severe cold, it is the desire of the grassland people to have a full meal. However, there is no food in the grassland, and the Central Plains has no food." Yes, so they went south to invade, no, it should be said to be looting."

"Just to fill your stomach?" Li Ke was shocked by this answer.

"There is another one, Li Ke, do you know Goryeo?"

Li Ke nodded immediately, he still knew about Emperor Sui Yang's expedition to Korea.

"You have also seen the map. Our Tang Dynasty has a vast land area, while some countries such as Goryeo are very small. So, they want to make their country bigger. How to make it bigger? The only way is to start a war! During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty The Lelang County, Xuantu County, Zhenfan County and Lintun County now belong to someone else?"

Li Ke nodded.

"As long as our Tang Dynasty shows its potential, those hungry wolves in the surrounding countries will rush to bite and carve up our land. In that case, why should we wait!"

Leng Feng suddenly felt that what he said was a bit biased, so he stopped his mouth and said to Li Ke: "There are many answers to this question, and everyone is different. Now you are still young, when you grow up, you will give it yourself. I have my own answer. If..."

"Boss! Boss!!"

Before Leng Feng finished speaking, Ergouzi and Yang Yi had already galloped over on horseback.

Damn Ergouzi, he stayed in the wounded barracks honestly after being stabbed, and he was not afraid of getting a tetanus when he ran out!
"Boss! The Turks have all been driven into the valley. The marshal asked us to invite you to take a look."

So fast?
Leng Feng became interested now, there were nearly [-] Turkic people, it was impossible to kill them all, most likely they wanted to be captured.

After being captured, these people will become slaves. Since we killed Mo Tu, it shouldn't be a problem to get thousands of people with this credit!
The cement workshop in Sanshankou County has now expanded to ten kilns. Fortunately, Leng Feng chose a place far away from human habitation, and the valley is now covered with dust.

Slaked lime powder can burn the skin with sweat and can cause silicosis if inhaled into the lungs.

Leng Feng's purpose is to create a "conscience enterprise", so labor tools are distributed for free, and farmers come to find work in winter, and everyone must strictly rest on time.

Just like that, that damned Wei Zheng was still worried, and had questioned him several times. Instead of worrying Wei Zheng, it would be better to find some prisoners of war to work.In this way, Wei Zheng will never mind.

After all, although Wei Zheng regards the people of his own country very seriously, he always advocates bullying others with prestige, which is different from the pedantic thinking of some civil servants who "convince people with virtue", that is, relying on lip service to persuade the enemy.
