Chapter 531: The pontoon bridge is deployed to set up the golden beam (2)
When the big head of the wooden hammer came into contact with the iron log, the sound of "crackling" was heard endlessly. The tip of the wooden pile was pressing against the mud at the bottom of the river. With these powerful hammering blows, the tip of the wooden pile was hammered hard.
He drilled hard into the mud, and soon the wooden piles were fixed without anyone's support. The pontoon bridge, which had become shaky just now due to the impact of the Feishui water, suddenly became much more stable.
In just a moment, the first section of the three pontoon bridges was completely fixed in the Feishui River. The soldiers of the Jin army burst into cheers, and hundreds of fresh troops continued to carry the three sections.
On the second pontoon bridge, shouting slogans and taking neat steps, they trotted all the way towards the bridge deck where the hammer-throwing warriors had just evacuated. They ran to the end of the first pontoon bridge and then moved the second section of the pontoon bridge.
The pontoon slid over their shoulders into the water.
The sergeants of the Jin Army used the ropes in their hands to pull back the second pontoon bridge floating in the water, connect it with the fracture of the first pontoon bridge, and then quickly nailed the joint between the two pontoon bridges with wooden boards.
, and the shirtless warriors in the water touched the side of the boat and swam to both sides of the second pontoon.
The sergeants on the bridge were like busy ants, throwing some pointed logs that were longer than the first time into the water. These shirtless warriors inserted the logs into the river bed beside them one after another, holding them with one hand.
He leaned on the edge of the boat and stepped on the water to keep his body balanced. He held the log while holding it head-down, creating conditions for the sledgehammers to hammer.
After boarding the other side, the temptation of rewarded generals stimulated these warriors. Although there were still ice blocks floating on the river, the biting cold made them unable to speak, and the thick lard could not completely maintain their body temperature. Many people
Their lips have turned purple from the cold, but no one has flinched. They have only one belief in their hearts: build a bridge, force the crossing, and win the official position!
Looking at the actions of the Jin army, Mao Dang frowned tightly. The width of Feishui River is about two hundred paces. As long as the pontoon bridge is erected section by section like this, it will take less than an hour to build ten sections of pontoon bridge.
Once connected, you can reach the east coast directly.
Fu Rong's expression was also very serious, but he looked more relaxed than Mao Dang. The corners of his mouth curled up and he said with a smile: "After working on it for a long time, it turned out that this is how to build a pontoon bridge. I thought they could come up with some new tricks.
."
Mao Dang sighed: "It is better for the Jin army to do this than to directly build ships and force the crossing. Now their pontoon bridge is outside our shooting range. Our army cannot shoot with bows and arrows. How about moving the catapult forward?"
Go hit them, I see their catapults have stopped firing now. This is the time for us to show off our might."
A cold murderous intention flashed in Fu Rong's eyes: "No, the catapult is in the right position. I just want them to build the bridge more than half way, and then fly rocks all over the sky!"
On the high platform of the Jin army, Liu Muzhi looked at the heated scene in front of him and nodded slightly. The Qin army camp opposite was still quiet, but all the wooden platoons that were originally on his head had been taken down, without any armor.
The auxiliary soldiers wearing white turbans were hurriedly dragging back the wounded and dead in the crowd. Looking from a distance, they still saw a sea of khaki people wearing khaki leather armor and Qin bows and arrows tied with yellow turbans.
The soldiers, thirty to forty thousand of them, were crouching motionless behind the fence, each one eagerly looking at the general station behind, waiting for the order to shoot.
Liu Muzhi sighed softly: "This general of the Qin Army can keep his composure. Our army built a bridge like this, and he didn't even react. General Liu, I'm afraid you still have to be fully prepared."
."
Liu Laozhi gritted his teeth: "There is nothing to prepare or not prepare for. That's it. In front of us, three pontoon bridges have been erected. I predict that after the middle section of the river, when they enter the Qin bow and arrow shooting range, they will carry out bow and arrow emergency operations."
Attack, when the time comes, we can't say anything, we can only take human lives. Send my order to the sergeants who board the bridge, advance or retreat. If anyone runs back from the bridge without hearing the sound of gold, behead him!"
Looking at the back of the messenger who ran out quickly, Liu Muzhi shook his head, looked back at the general's flag with the word "Liu" that had almost stopped at this moment, and said: "General Liu, the wind has stopped, and Qin will take a moment."
What if the army attacks with rockets?"
Liu Laozhi smiled slightly, pointed to several sections of pontoon bridges that were being transported forward in the military formation, and said: "Liu Canjun, have you seen that the surfaces of these pontoon bridges that are being transported forward are all coated with mud, although it will affect
It has some running speed, but it can prevent fire. Besides, this bridge is on the river. If it is really hit by a rocket, let the sergeants get water to put out the fire. It is not that easy to burn out. As long as it takes half an hour, I, the Third Army of the Chinese Army, will
The army of ten thousand has crossed the river bank, and if it stands still, it can create opportunities for the army behind it!"
The corner of Liu Muzhi's mouth curled up, and he wanted to say what if there were too many corpses and blocked the pontoon bridge. But when the words came to his lips, he held back. After all, it was Liu Laozhi who was fighting this battle.
Moreover, he has reached this point and can no longer look back. If he talks about it now, it will only increase his troubles and is of no use.
While the two were talking, the sixth section of the pontoon bridge had been erected. In the middle of Feishui River, the shirtless warriors who were holding the stakes in the water also moved to the third group. After all, they were soaking in the frozen river water.
No matter how much lard they put on them, they can only keep out the cold for a while. After connecting two sections of pontoons, these strong men in the water will swim back to the shore, and another group of people will get on again, and those who come ashore will drink heavily.
The hot ginger soup that had been prepared early in the morning filled the entire river bank with a spicy smell.
However, Liu Muzhi's eyes were not focused on these Guangzhu warriors swimming back to the shore. His eyes were fixed on the general platform opposite Qin. The figures of Fu Rong and Mao Dang were clearly visible, but
The two of them had no intention of taking any action. The more this happened, the more chilling Liu Muzhi felt. The enemy still did not fire bows and arrows after entering the shooting range. This was even more uncomfortable than the current situation where thousands of arrows were fired at once.
end.
The sound of nailing wood sounded, and the eighth section of the pontoon bridge had been connected. The Jin army in the water cheered. The Qin people on the opposite side were still motionless. They saw the Jin army on the bridge leaving the shore.
There are only more than forty steps, the distance between the two pontoon bridges, completely within the range of bows and arrows. Even with slingshots, they can kill a lot of people. However, Qin's military formation is still as motionless as a mountain. Qin's bows and arrows behind the fence
The hands are still holding their breath and staring, the arrow is on the string, but it is not drawn.
