Part Three Chapter Seventeen Strike Across the River 4
[69 Book Bar-www.] I sighed. Lian Baice stayed in Dongping City for a long time. He also said that the only way to attack Dongping City is to attack Dongping City. The only way to attack Dongping City is to attack Dongping City. But Dongping City
To the north is the Water Gate, and Deng Canglan's naval force is not enough to suppress the Snake Man. What is the best way to attack?
After retiring Lian Baice, I sat in my tent and found the "Seven Essentials of March" and "The Strategy of Victory" in the bookcase to read. I have read both of these books well and memorized them all.
I had to come down. Just as I was watching, a gust of wind blew and the candlelight was blown to dark. I reached out to protect the candlelight, and I was still thinking about the war in my heart.
The advantages of the Snake Man lies in the combat ability of individual soldiers and direct water fighting. It is not feasible to send a water ghost team to destroy the water gate in Dongping City. Our advantages are only military strength and flying aircraft, thunder crossbows, and dragon cannons.
The weapon is not strong enough to make the snake man collapse at a touch. What exactly can we do to attack?
Just as I was thinking, I suddenly heard someone outside say, "Constitution."
The voice was a little timid, and I raised my head and said, "Come in."
The curtain was lifted up, but Jian Zhonglan came in. He stood at the door, looking a little hesitant, and I said, "Jian Zhonglan, what else is there to do if it's so late?"
Jian Zhonglan walked in and politely said, "The rule of law will be the last strategy to defeat the enemy."
I couldn't help laughing. Jian Zhonglan is a little ignorant of the world. The first time I had an impression of him was when the Snake Man besieged the imperial capital. That time he also said that he had a plan to defeat the enemy, but I didn't even listen, and I didn't expect this time
He had a plan again. I was about to ask him to retreat, but then I thought that if he hadn't reminded me in Wuyang City, I was afraid I wouldn't have thought that He Congjing would have negotiated with the island barbarians. Although this man was young,
He said something quite fundamentally. Even if the strategy of defeating the enemy is not feasible, it is good to listen. I said, "Tell me, what strategy is there to defeat the enemy?"
Jian Zhonglan was a little hesitant, but when he heard me say this, he showed joy on his face and said, "Yes. The ruler will eventually live among the Di people when he was young. The Di people live by the water and grass, and often move, and sometimes they will encounter it in the desert.
quicksand……"
I was a little impatient, wondering what he said and said, "Does this have anything to do with the strategy of breaking the enemy?"
Jian Zhonglan said: "Yes. The quicksand in the desert is very similar to the river water. Once the people fall into it, they can't sink and can't come out again. Therefore, when the people who explore the quicksand find it, someone will use it.
The boards pave a way.”
I was a little amused and said, "The river water is different from quicksand. Although wooden boards can also float on the water, you can't use wooden boards to pave a way on the river, right?"
Jian Zhonglan said: "Of course I don't know how to use wooden boards on the river, I can build a floating bridge."
His words didn't sound, but my mind suddenly flashed like lightning, and suddenly I stood up and said, "Floating Bridge?"
Jian Zhonglan said: "Yes. General Deng's naval army has not many large ships, but many small boats have fallen. These small boats can only carry seven or eight people, and it is useless when transporting troops, but it is just right for building a pontoon bridge. Now
It was cold, and there was not much wind and waves on the river. If we could build a floating bridge from Dongyang to the bottom of Dongping City, the army could directly reach the city, which was no different from attacking on the flat ground."
I said, "That's right. General Deng also has some large warships under his command, who can serve as the responsibility of defending on both sides, and the Wind Legion can also guard the air to cover the ground legion to assault, and the Fire Legion can also directly
He rushed to the city." The more I spoke, I became more and more excited. I walked a few steps and said, "Yes, this is a solution. Jian Zhonglan, I want to remember you for some merit."
Jian Zhonglan said, "Thank you for the commander." An excitement also appeared on his face.
When I asked Jian Zhonglan to go back, I was still thinking about the possibility of building a floating bridge. In addition to taking on the responsibility of transporting the luggage, the baggage battalion would also have to build a floating bridge if there was a river blocking the way. It was just that the floating bridge on the small river was very convenient.
It is easy to dismantle it. I have never thought about it. I don’t know if it is possible. Moreover, the river is vast and there are many small boats in the water army, I don’t know if it is enough to build the floating bridge under the city.
I don't know how many days will this floating bridge be completed. If the snake man sees us building a floating bridge, he will definitely rush out to attack. If he wants to build a floating bridge, he can't just make it. Lian Baice is most familiar with the terrain here, and I think he should know
Is this idea feasible? Thinking of this, I couldn't stay there anymore and left the tent.
As soon as he got outside, the soldiers watching the night watch were stunned when they saw me coming out and said, "Control, do you still have to go out so late?"
I said, "I want to find Lian Baice under General Cao's command. Which camp will he live in?"
The soldier was stunned again and said, "General Cao is there, and I won't recognize that Lian Baice."
I couldn't help laughing. There are now 5,000 people in the Forward Battalion, and even I only know some generals. These soldiers must not know other soldiers except the people in the headquarters. I said, "Okay, I'll go there myself."
Cao Wendao's camp was still brightly lit. As soon as I got closer, I heard a mess inside. Cao Wendao hurriedly came out and said, "Control! Why are you here?"
His face turned red and white, and I was suspicious and said, "What are you doing?"
He said, "It's nothing..." Seeing that I was about to walk in, he hurriedly said, "The rule is very messy inside, I'm asking them to clean up."
It would be fine if he didn't explain, but it made me even more confused as soon as I explained. It's getting late now, so how could I sort it out at such a night? I ignored his obstacles and lifted the curtain and walked in. As soon as I went in, I saw two people.
The soldier was carrying a table, with a blanket on the table and a bowl on the ground. Seeing this, I suddenly realized that Cao Wendao must be gambling.
Gambling has become a trend in the military. Some people who like gambling even gamble day and night, but I don’t like gambling. Most of them don’t gamble in front of me. As they traveled day and night, Cao Wendao couldn’t get enough gambling. Now he has arrived in Dongyang City.
This hobby came up immediately. He probably called some of the officers under his command to shout, but he didn't expect me to come here suddenly. I turned my head and said, "Are you gambling?"
Cao Wendao blushed and said, "It's all my fault for governing. I'm addicted to it. Let them play with me for a few games."
I sighed slightly. Cao Wendao is a good person, and is loyal, but he is a little irrelevant. I whispered: "It's nothing to play two games, but don't play too much. The snake man is still on the other side of the shore.
, we will set out anytime.”
Cao Wendao said in surprise: "So fast? I think I will have to take a few days off."
I said, "Have you ever thought about the possibility of attacking?"
