"Newspaper, general, a 10,000 -person team in front of the Huns, has been ten miles away from the south side of the Henan, and there are ships that are constantly entering the Great River, thinking that the floating bridge is used!"
Dozens of miles outside Zhongwei City, Zhang Han has led 30,000 soldiers and horses. Inside the military tent, there is a sand table. With the entire Beidi County as the center, the river on the west side can be clearly seen, and even the details of the river can be glimpsed.
generally.
Zhongwei City is the most prominent place to the west of Beidi County. Therefore, compared with Jingyuan City, it is the target of the Huns and others. Not only that, but originally, the width of the river outside Zhongwei City is wider than other river sections.
Slow down a little.
The narrowest part of the area, but thirty feet up and down, it is the place reported in front of the scouts. Since ancient times, the army wants to cross the river, and the small rivers are just fine.
But for a river like a big river, it is necessary to build a pontoon bridge. A large number of boats are connected in a row across the river, and wide and flat wooden boards are built on them. In this way, a floating bridge is built over the river.
It is enough to make the army and the siege equipment that are carried by the same way.
No surprise, a 10,000 -person team in the Huns is the act of building a floating bridge.
"You should step back first."
Zhang Han was wearing a light black light armor, carrying a long sword, and waved his palm towards the man. In his own expectation, since he wanted to cross the river, he must find the most narrow area.
There... it's really suitable.
However, the width of thirty feet in the area does not use too many ships. If there is no obstacle, it is easy to set up the floating bridge. At that time, the subsequent 200,000 troops can come quickly.
Upon hearing this, the scout bowed and quickly retreated.
"What do you think?"
Within the military account, in addition to the Sixth Customs Defense Forces Zhang Han, there are also the original six -level guards.
, kept looking at it.
"General Zhang, now the pioneers such as the Xiongnu want to cross the river, I will naturally suppress the bowbroken crossbow, so that the floating bridge will not be built!"
One person pointed to the big river on the sand table, but it was the narrowest place.
To build a pontoon bridge and build a floating bridge on the 30 -foot wide river, it is not so easy. Although there is a help of the Mo family, if they really want to stop, at least in a short time, they will never achieve success.
Even if it succeeds, it will not come at a huge price.
"In addition, at the end, those Xiongnu grows more on the grassland and do not learn more.
"Make his 200,000 troops unable to poured into Zhongwei City at once. Moreover, Longxi here, the fire oil is rich in the fire, and the floating bridge on the big river is quite conspicuous.
For many years, General Yiying, who had been stationed at Liuguan in Beidi County, naturally had his own abilities. Hearing Zhang Han's words, he did not dare to slack off. In Zhongwei City not far behind him, Marquis Wu Zhen personally arrived.
As I said before, if it is successful, everything will be left behind; if it is damaged, no one can escape.
So, how dare you not rack your brains.
"The general thought that given the location of the river, we could also use the water attack method used when the three families of Jin Dynasty destroyed Zhi Boyao. The source of the river could be traced to the side of Jingyuan City, and a high embankment could be built to store the water.
Sure enough, when the time comes, the Huns forcefully build a pontoon bridge, and the water can come down and destroy it directly!"
One person whispered that a battle on both sides of the river would naturally involve a water attack. In any case, the 200,000 troops west of the river would have to pay a huge price if they wanted to cross the river.
Maybe... they will come over in the end, but they have to consider whether it's worth it.
"The last general thought that the words of several generals were enough to deal with the Huns building a pontoon bridge and trying to cross the river. In addition, it turned out that the Huns did not care about the cost and forcibly crossed the river. Then, we can use the river as the border.
, lay down every line of defense.”
"The trenches were dug, the traps were densely packed, and other strategies were used. The general thought that it would be impossible for the Huns to actually come to Zhongwei City without the cost of tens of thousands of people!"
One person came out of the queue, looked at the other people beside him, and smiled slightly. Since he wanted to defend, then... he had to have a defensive strategy. The Central Guard City was a hundred miles away from that narrow place.
Setting up more than three lines of defense is a piece of cake.
"very good."
"This is probably not what I am thinking. Even so, each led his troops and horses to block them."
A smile flashed on Zhang Han's face. All those strategies can be used. As long as they are effective, they can be used.
The Huns had a total of 200,000 troops. If they really wanted to forcefully cross the river, it would not be difficult, but they would have to pay the price of tens of thousands of people. Moreover, defensive strategies had already been deployed in the Central Guard City.
Just wait for the Xiongnu and others to come.
Sure enough, being able to defend it is a great achievement.
The words fell and the final round was decided.
"Here!"
"..."
The generals clasped their fists and saluted, and each went down according to the previous instructions.
******
"Big brother, there is news from the front. When the vanguard team of ten thousand people wanted to build a pontoon bridge at the narrowest point of the river, they were blocked by the Qin army. They suffered heavy losses and many wooden boats were damaged."
Only more than a hundred miles away from Zhongwei City, a mighty army of 200,000 people was advancing along the road on the edge of the desert. There were teams of 10,000 people. The teams of 1,000 people looked messy, and everything had its own rules.
Zhang Jingfang, one of the leaders of the Mohist clan, was originally a disciple of the Youshi sect of the Mohist clan of Qi State. He followed the giant to the west of the river. After nearly a year, he finally got something. Watching the scouts of the army return at this moment, he went closer to find out something and came back to report.
"The great river is as famous as the great river of Chu in the Xia Dynasty. Even though it is narrow, it is not easy to cross."
"Jingfang, you can go there later."
I had considered the method of crossing the river before and had made a decision. Although there was a price to pay,...it was a bit delusional to cross the river without paying the price.
The method of crossing the river has been informed to Jingfang, and Lu Zhenlang, who is wrapped in black clothes, has no worries.
"Yes, giant."
Zhang Jingfang nodded in response, although he was a little reluctant, but...after all, the Mohist disciples shed too much blood in Beidi County.
Not long after, as expected by the great master, an envoy from King Youxian of the Xiongnu came and summoned the Mohist family to go.
The master had no time to pay attention, so Zhang Jingfang and the two Mohist disciples went there.
Half an hour later, the three of them, together with another team of ten thousand people, rode quickly towards the big river, hoping to quickly build a pontoon bridge for the incoming army. Otherwise, the river would not be able to be crossed, so why would the troops approach the city?
"Commander, although the river here is narrow, it is no less than thirty feet long when you look at it. It is already rare in the hinterland of the Central Plains!"
Three hours later, the Mohists who were the first to arrive at the river and the Xiongnu vanguard looked at each other and kept talking to each other.
Although the language of the Huns is not proficient, the rhymes of simple words can still be understood clearly.
"This... is already the westernmost side of the border of the Qin Kingdom. It is protected by two layers of rivers and the Great Wall. Whether it is the Xiongnu, the Yueshi, or the Wusun Kingdom, it is very difficult to invade Beidi County and Longxi County."
"If the army wants to attack Zhongwei City, it must cross the river!"
The terrain here is relatively gentle. Although the water in the river keeps flowing towards the north, it is not rushing. This makes the three Mo family feel at ease.
For a river with such a shape, it would be much easier to build a pontoon bridge.
On the other hand, there are some fragments of residual wood floating on the river. Not surprisingly, it must have been destroyed by the Qin army on the opposite side when the pontoon bridge was built previously. Despite this, a large amount of wood was still taken from nearby to build large and small
wooden boat.
"Tell me to go down and connect all the ships together in threes. It's the end of the day now. It's midsummer. The night is quite bright, but it's not as bright as it is now. By then, it's time to build the pontoon bridge."
"Also... mobilize two archery teams of 3,000 people on the left and right, armed with the powerful crossbows given to them by our Mo family in the army, and press the formation to build the bridge!"
