Liu Xie stood on the high ground on the south bank of the Zhang River, watching teams of infantry and cavalry passing through the floating bridge and advancing towards Yecheng.
The battle to encircle Yecheng was not as intense as imagined, and it was even a little boring.
I don’t know if it was Xinpi’s reason, Zhang He and Gao Lan gave up the counterattack and retreated when the imperial army was preparing to cross the river. They leaned against the city wall and camped outside Yecheng City, building high builds and digging deep trenches.
Prepare to make the final resistance.
Compared with the Zhang River tributary in the south of the city, the main stream in the north of Yecheng is wider, and without warships, the possibility of attacking from the north side is smaller. Shen Pei takes the outside of the south gate as the main battlefield, Zhang He and Gao Lan
The two most warlike generals were arranged in the south of the city, while the slightly inferior general Zhu Ling was arranged in the east gate.
Liu Xie didn't care about this.
He had no intention of forcing Yecheng to attack Yecheng at all. As long as he could surround Yecheng and prevent the defenders from coming out, he could affect the autumn harvest.
He has been waiting for more than half a year and doesn't care about waiting for another year.
Although he also hoped that Shen Pei could muster up the courage to advance actively so that the generals could show their skills. However, it was obvious that Shen Pei and the Jizhou army in the city knew very well that they did not have the advantage in my illusion and did not dare to take the initiative to attack at all.
, can only hide in Yecheng and wait for his tragic fate.
I don’t know if Xinpi’s actions have been effective or how much they have been. In short, the battlefield is very calm.
The knights shuttled back and forth, conveying the situation.
Liu Bei and Duan Wei had crossed the Zhang River and completed the restraining of Zhang He and Gao Lan. Yang Feng and Dong Cheng were crossing the river and pushed the front line to the sight of Yecheng.
Nearly a hundred floating bridges were built on the Zhang River tributary, which were enough for soldiers to come and go.
According to Huang Yueying, unless it encounters a once-in-a-century flood, even if it is autumn, it will not be able to destroy these floating bridges.
Let’s take a step back, if we really encounter a once-in-a-century flood, the soldiers who have crossed the water can still defend the camp and persevere until the flood recedes.
Liu Xie was still confident in this, otherwise he would not dare to line up the array.
With the support of technology, some rules that could not be violated are no longer important, but instead bring some convenience. For example, it is much easier to use river water to transfer materials between different camps than to land.
Because of these, the technicians in the martial arts lecture hall are now more respectful than the students in the martial arts lecture hall. There are people who flatter them everywhere, and no one treats them as ordinary craftsmen anymore.
Liu Xie is most satisfied with this.
"Let's go and go back to the camp." Liu Xie shook the reins of the horse.
"Which." Liu He responded, turned his horse's head and shouted. "Go back to the camp."
"Yes!" The scattered cavalry agreed in unison and hugged Liu Xie and walked back.
Liu He looked around, suddenly frowned, and cursed a few words in a low voice. "This Jiangdong barbarian is absent-minded and neglects his duties. It seems that the training volume is not enough."
Liu Xie turned around and saw a hundred steps away, a knight was riding a horse across the bridge. He didn't walk on the pontoon bridge, but he had to sprint to ride a horse and jumped in the middle of the pontoon bridge, hoping to rush over with the help of the horse speed.
This was originally one of the subjects for cavalry training, but his riding skills were obviously not as high as he thought. The horse was not fast enough. The horse jumped into the water that was several steps away from the shore, and fell head-on, and the people and horses were wet.
Liu Xie didn't need to look closely and knew it was Sun Quan, so he couldn't help but laugh.
Sun Quan was 19 years old this year. He had just arrived at Xingzai and was successfully admitted to Sanqi. He inherited the courage of his father and brother, but he did not have the martial arts and calmness of his father and brother. Seeing that Xingzai's atmosphere was relaxed, there were many female knights, and his vanity was full of vanity.
, often show off in front of the female knights you like.
Liu He was very dissatisfied with him and ordered to increase his training volume.
But Sun Quan was in very good health. Even if Liu He deliberately targeted him, he could handle it and still had enough energy to play.
"Forget it." Liu Xie said: "It is natural for young people to be a man."
Seeing Liu Xie speak, Liu He didn't say anything else.
Sun Quan led his horse up from the river. He didn't bother to change his clothes and chased him.
Liu Xie waved and called Sun Quan to his side.
Although he was only one year older than Sun Quan, the two had completely different temperaments. Without further ado, Sun Quan restrained his youthful recklessness in front of others and became more respectful.
"Why did you lose?" Liu Xiedan asked.
"The floating bridge is unstable." Sun Quan smiled and said, "And I am not good at this horse. I am too timid and my legs will become weak before I jump. If I change to a Xiliang horse, I will definitely be able to jump over."
"Since that's the case, why not change to a Xiliang horse and jump again, and force it?"
"I thought, maybe I could just let this horse jump a few more times. After all, it wasn't that it couldn't jump, it just didn't dare to jump." Sun Quan wiped the water on his face and pointed to his eyes. "Just like Chen Wei."
When I was in the process, I was worried about being discriminated against.”
Liu Xie looked at Sun Quan, and was infected by the bright smile on his face and couldn't help laughing.
He didn't expect that he would inadvertently cure Sun Quan's heart disease.
Sun Quan has a pair of blue eyes that are rare in the Central Plains people. He may be discussed a lot in daily life. Although he doesn't care, he is still a little weak in his heart and even has some allergies. He is a lot of Hu people, both men and women, so his blue eyes are not surprising.
It's right.
This may also be one of the reasons why he felt like he was in water and was particularly relaxed, and he could even tease himself in front of the emperor.
But in the eyes of Liu He and other ministers, he was not relaxing, but presumptuous.
"What you said makes sense, but you can change the method." Liu Xie suggested.
Sun Quan's eyes lit upside down, holding the horse whip, bowing and bowing. "Please give advice from your Majesty."
Liu He also focused his attention and listened intently.
The subject of jumping over the bridge has always been a difficult point, and many war horses have been lost for this. War horses are of great value, and even if there are losses, he still feels a pity.
"You can jump on land first and let the horse get used to the movements until it can easily skip enough distances. Then choose some shallow places to allow the horse to adapt to the water surface and relieve psychological fears. Both items are completed
Then, it will be much easier to do actual combat."
Sun Quan thought about it and nodded repeatedly. "Your Majesty said so much, but I am reckless."
Liu He also said: "Your Majesty's method is good, and it is gradually improved, and the difficulty has been reduced a lot."
"Gongheng, this is your problem. The training plan is not designed reasonably enough." Liu Xie laughed. "When encountering difficulties, you can break them down and reduce the difficulty, rather than bent on the spot or send them a message.
I hope that the natural courage of a few people is the basis of being well-trained, not relying on the talent of a few people.”
"What Your Majesty criticized is that I must reflect on myself." Liu He smiled.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." A fast horse rushed over and slowed down when he walked side by side with Liu Xie. The female knight on the horse shouted: "Sun Rui, a marquis in the Northern Army, and the marquis of Duting, had a long shooting sound.
Shi Jushu asked for a visit.”
Liu Xie frowned slightly.
It is normal for Shi Sun Rui to ask for a meeting, but why did Duting Hou Wangduan come too?
What's even more outrageous is that the Captain Ju Jun of the Sound of the Sound did not come, but the Chief Ju Su came. This is unreasonable.
Liu Xie thought about it and waved his hand. "Please see them if you let them join the camp."
"Ye." The female knight responded, turned her horse's head and galloped away.
Liu Xie thought about it and said to Liu He: "Gongheng, why do you think Ju Su appears here?"
Liu He said calmly: "What I am surprised about is not Ju Su, but Duting Hou. Ju Su and Shen Pei, Tian Feng have a close relationship, so it is impossible to sit still and watch them be surrounded without saying a word. Duting Hou, only
I'm afraid I'll be bewitched and messed up the whole story."
