Part Three, Chapter 19: Surprise Attack on a Snowy Night 2
[69 Book Bar-www.] "Constitution, change your shoes."
Cao Wendao's voice rang behind me. I turned my head and saw him standing behind me with a pair of fish leather boots. He had already changed. I took it, walked to the tent and sat down, unbuttoning the belt of the leather boots.
, said, "Brother Cao, please be careful with your brothers."
Cao Wendao grinned and smiled, "Region, sometimes you really have a mother-in-law and mother. When is it? Anyway, you will only have a way out when you work hard to move forward. Everyone knows."
Do you try hard to move forward? I changed my fish leather boots. The fish leather boots are impermeable, thinner than cowhide boots. They are a little cooler, but they really don't slip. I tried it on the ground and said, "Brother Cao, I
I would like to ask you, what is the purpose of people living?”
This stopped him. Cao Wendao scratched his scalp and said, "I can't think of this. However, when I was in the imperial capital, I left some money for my parents. I think I can only give them two in my life.
It’s enough to see them off. If they can’t, at least they won’t go hungry in the future.”
I was stunned. Is Cao Wendao's way of doing this? But those who have the most soldiers must be just such an ambition. It is definitely not about being able to make the person they love live well and sacrifice their lives without hesitation. It is definitely not about those high-ranking officials
What the noble man said was to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism. I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. Even if we die, the living will live well."
Yes, the living will live, and the dead will die, and it will always be like this.
＊＊ When it was all dark, the rain had stopped. It was snowing all over the sky. Judging from the snow, it would get heavier and heavier.
Such weather is indeed a good time to attack. Snake people cannot see far away, and they cannot see clearly in the snowflakes all over the sky. When they encounter cold, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
When I received the token from the messenger, I waved my hand and said, "Get together."
The Forward Battalion, which is now the Hengye Army, has a total of 5,000 troops, and is now divided into three divisions. Cao Wendao and Qian Wenyi each lead 1,55 each. I am assisted by Lian Baice and led 2,000 troops, and Chen Zhong leads 50 people.
Team Axe, as my personal samurai, followed me.
At the floating bridge wharf, senior generals had gathered under Luogai. Although Bi Wei and Deng Canglan were both the main generals in this surprise attack, they still had to lead their troops to set off. Only Tu can sit in the rear. When I arrived, several people were there. Tu
Fang Juzhong, Bi Wei and Deng Canglan were on both sides, and behind them were Shao Fengguan and General Zhe Chong Qi Yahui, General Zhenwei Zongmin, General Yangwei Chen Peng and others. I stepped forward to Tu Fang, knelt down on one leg and said:
"General Tu, the last general, General Hengye, Chu Xiuhong, is on standby."
Tu Fang was wearing a red battle robe and sat on a chair. He stood up, took a small cup from his personal soldiers on the side, poured a glass of wine, and said, "General Chu, I am using this cup as a general's strength,
I wish you a victory.”
I shouted, "Thank you General." I took the cup and drank it all, turned around and looked at the five thousand soldiers of the vanguard camp who were standing straight in the snow, and said loudly: "Brothers, the battle is in front of me. In this battle
There will definitely be many brothers who want to lose their lives. I only have one word to say, even if I die, it is worth it. Let's go!"
The floating bridge is only about twelve feet wide, and it is already very crowded if four people stand side by side. Five thousand people have to stand more than 1,200 rows. With the gap, the team will always be about two miles long. At the beginning, I thought about using the floating bridge.
When I attacked, I never expected it to be that long. Think about it, once an attack was launched, four people rushed up in groups, and I am afraid that most of them would die on the top of the city.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt cold. Although Deng Canglan said that as long as he could attack the city, he had prepared the water cloud ladder and the soldiers of the vanguard camp would not crowd into a pile, I still didn't know what the water cloud ladder was. At this time, I also
Only like what Cao Wendao said, can you survive by moving forward desperately.
The floating bridge has been built almost two-thirds, and the front end is more than one mile away from Dongping City. Looking in the snow, there is only a shadow left in Dongping City. The snake man must have thought that we had already reached under their noses. Because the floating bridge is
The total length is five miles. It is no longer realistic to transport all the bamboo, wooden boards and other things by ship. There cannot be too many people on the pontoon bridge, so the last section will be built by Hengye Jun itself. Everyone carried a bundle of bamboo and wooden boards and moved forward.
As he trotted, the floating bridge was squeaking and almost
The water surface is flush. I am afraid that this kind of load-bearing force cannot bear the weight of the Dragon Cannon. I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when I looked. If I could pull the Dragon Cannon under the north gate of Dongping City and fire several guns in succession, the city gate would definitely be able to
It will be much easier to bombard and attack again. Perhaps, the Marquis Wen ordered Li Yaotian to build such a huge warship just to install the dragon cannon? But now, the large warships in Deng Canglan's navy can also be equipped with the dragon cannon. Weather
So cold, I'm afraid we can fire more than three guns in a row. With the help of the Dragon Cannon, we will definitely be more confident.
The crowds kept passing by, each of the five thousand soldiers brought some bamboo boards, first went to the end and put down the things, built a floating bridge from the waiting water army there, and the rest began to pass on the last word of money.
One of them is responsible for transporting. After about two hours, the floating bridge has extended to a place that is only more than twenty feet away from Dongping City. Twenty feet, this distance on the flat ground is achieved overnight, but it still seems very far away on the river surface.
.I am in the middle of the team, and this place is more than a hundred feet away from Dongping City. I greeted Chen Zhong and asked him to take a break and prepare to launch an attack.
The floating bridge is too narrow, so scheduling is particularly important. Cao Wendao is the first wave of offensive, I am responsible for the second wave, and Qian Wenyi is the third wave. I give the power of scheduling to Lian Baice, although he is not as special as Wu Wanling
The dispatch is precise, but it is also well organized.
Just as he was watching, Chen Zhong murmured beside me, "General Chu, you are about to attack the city."
I smiled and said softly: "Chen Zhong, how are you?"
Chen Zhong had already lifted the axe in his hand, and lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, General Chu, my strength is almost full." The north gate of Dongping City is not too high, only about three meters away because it is a water gate.
The height of three zhang is no longer worth mentioning compared to the terrifying height of twenty zhang in the imperial capital, but it is still an insurmountable height.
The place where the pontoon bridge arrived was facing the city gate. As long as we could break through this water gate, we could drive straight in. There was originally a wooden pier outside the north gate, but now the pier has been demolished by the snake man. I looked at Dongping in the dark
The city said, "It seems that the snake man did not find us."
Until now, there is no abnormal movement on the top of the city. Although 5,000 people have crossed the river and forced them to the city, the Hengye Army has extremely strict military discipline, and there is no one to speak, and the sound of walking is mixed in the river waves, even myself
If it weren't for the vibration from the soles of your feet, you would have suspected that I was the only one if you closed your eyes.
