Chapter 758: Crossing the River (2)

The ancient Jin land, surrounded by the Yellow River.

The history of Pujin Ferry is also very long, and Fengling Ferry and Longmen Ferry are called the world.

The Pujin Ferry is the most important traffic artery connecting Qinchuan and Jindi, and is famous for its wide river beach and easy to pass, compared with Fenglingdu, the river surface of Pujin Ferry is relatively narrower, and the water flow is also more turbulent.

The Pujin Bridge across the river was repaired on a large scale during the Kaihuang period, and later in the Great Cause period, because the Sui Emperor Yang Guang built a large number of buildings throughout the country, the status of the Pujin Bridge rose a lot, and was strengthened several times.

During this period, the ox-horse convoy rumbled over the bridge, and the Yellow River moat had become a thoroughfare.

But the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty ruined all this, when Li Yuan led his troops south, he successively broke the Sui army stationed in the east of the river, and the fierce general Sang Xianhe, who was under the control of Qu Tutong, burned the pontoon bridge and cut off the most important passage for Li Yuan to cross the river.

If it weren't for Feng Yi's thief Sun Hua who voted for Li Yuan, it would not be easy for Li Yuan to cross the Yellow River, you must know that the Sui army's troop deployment was a few points stronger than Li Tang now.

…………………………

At this time, it was the early spring in the north, and it was only about a month since the ice and snow melted, and the flood season of the Yellow River was still far away, which was also the main reason why Li Po chose to lead his troops across the river at this time.

There are many key points in the battle to cross the river, but in the opinion of Li Po, who has experienced the war in Liaodong, the most important thing is how to build a solid pontoon bridge.

At that time, Yang Guang led a million troops to cross the Liaoshui, and the battle of crossing the river actually only lasted for two or three days, and for more than a month after that, people were busy building more pontoon bridges on the river to transport the army and grain and grass to the opposite bank.

Of course, what impressed Li Po was the luxurious water structure that was as spacious as a galloping road, but did not allow soldiers to step on it.

The memory has gradually become distant, but it cannot be forgotten, and the lessons in the middle have become nourishment, and have been nourishing the career of His Royal Highness King Han.

"Report, Yun Shilang reported to the king, the ship has been launched, and in less than an hour, the pontoon bridge will be completed."

The rear of the army is high, and the overall situation can be taken closely, Li Po bowed slightly, "Go back and tell the waiter, don't be like Yuwen Shangshu back then, a few feet shorter, hehe, there is no wheat iron staff under the command of this king." ”

The Mai Tie Cane incident was undoubtedly one of the worst scenes in the first expedition to Liaodong that year, Yun Dingxing would not have known that that incident directly led to Yang Guang's rampage, and the first expedition to Liaodong was defeated, in fact, it was also due to this.

The Ministry of Industry's revised plan was also displayed under the spotlight at this time.

Soon, more than a dozen "strange-looking" boats were connected in one place with iron cables and went down the river from upstream.

The boat is very wide, the draft is very deep, and the canopy is raised, forming a triangle directly on the plank, connected in one place, like an extra corridor on the river that is neither wide nor narrow.

Wei Chigong, who was beside Li Po, widened his eyes, and looked at it for a long time before muttering, "This fucking can also float on the water, weird and weird." ”

Others felt similar to him, Li Po pursed his lips, and said in his heart, a group of fools who lack imagination, hum, rare and strange.

Of course, he also forgot that when he saw these strange things on Jinshui, he also wanted to kick Yun Dingxing a few times.

That is to say, this is a test, this winter the Ministry of Industry was not idle, chiseling through the ice surface of Jinshui, it was practiced for a while, and then it was brought to His Royal Highness the King of Han to watch.

This is also the masterpiece of He Chou and Yun Dingxing, the only thing that makes them a little regretful is that Jinshui is not as turbulent as the Yellow River.

When the ship came near, they threw down their anchors and threw out two thick chains, and the men who had been waiting on the shore rushed up and dragged the iron cable to nail one end to the ground.

The Tang army on the other side was obviously also surprised, and they made a noise for a while before rushing to the river beach and shooting arrows.

This way of building a bridge is beyond people's imagination, and it can also be regarded as a demonstration of the highest architectural level left by the Great Sui, Li Po accepted He Chou and others and regarded them as treasures, but he got the best reward at this moment.

It went very well, but only one unlucky boatman was wounded by an arrow and fell headlong into the Yellow River, which incidentally produced the first casualty of the battle.

Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi County, has indeed arrived......

Most of the people in the Li clan in Kansai know soldiers, which is a very important part of the inheritance of the Guanxi aristocracy today, and there is a clear difference from other gate valves, which undoubtedly created their martial spirit, and it is not without reason that the Kansai people can dominate the world back then.

But then again, no matter what time it is, the talent of the commander is a scarce resource, and Li Shenfu has the courage and knows the military affairs...... And then there's, well, there's nothing else.

And he was able to lead troops to garrison Feng Yi's heavy land, it was nothing more than a Li character on his head, and Li Yuan's characteristics in employing people actually needless to say.

The defense of the riverside also reflects this, Tongguan has the crown prince Li Jiancheng in charge, Yongfengcang is now the princess of Pingyang Li Xiuning, Feng Yi is the king of Xiangyi County Li Shenfu, only Hancheng is Hou Junji, or the confidant general of Li Shimin, the king of Qin.

Behind them, there is the Shaanxi East Road Xingtai as a support, but the Shangshu of the Shaanxi East Road Xingtai is Xiao Yu, who is also a relative of Li Yuan.

It is difficult to say how strict this arrangement is, but it is still much stronger than Qu Tutong at the beginning, at least when the enemy is about to cross the river to attack, no one thinks of "abandoning the darkness and turning to the light".

But Li Shenfu was restless, he had read the article that came from the other side, and he was shocked to read an article against him.

He understands that this article is not of much use now, but the content cannot be dispersed, and once the attack and defense of the river fails, maybe someone will give him a rich and dangerous situation.

These years...... No one can be relied on, I have to say that his thoughts are very similar to Li Yuan, and he feels that his relatives are more reliable.

And his feeling these days is completely opposite to Li Shimin, when he knew that Li Ding'an really waved his army south and wanted to cross the river to attack, he immediately felt that it was the top priority to defend to the death.

At this time, he would not admit that he was more flustered, because there were not many troops.

Last year, a lot of people were transferred from Feng Yi to the west, and there were only about 25,000 people left, from 40,000 to 50,000.

While complaining that the fools in the court deceived the saints, so that Li Ding'an's thief had a chance, he kept asking Chang'an for help.

At the same time, he also considered himself very wise, and since he took over the military power by the river, he immediately ordered someone to dismantle the newly rebuilt Pujin Bridge......

In fact, it can be seen from these psychological processes that Li Shenfu is a relatively mediocre general, and when to do something, there is a certain amount of discipline, but he must not have high hopes for him.

There is no need to belittle anything, because there are the most such generals in the army, and as a general, they will make you feel very useful, but as a commander all the way, when it is difficult to perform their duties, their shortcomings will be exposed.

They are not bold enough when they should be bold, and they are not careful enough when they are careful, and once they encounter a strong enemy, they may become a typical example of the incompetence of the three armies.

At this time, Li Shenfu was undoubtedly taken aback by the enemy's magical tower bridge method, I knew this, what did I dismantle before the fuck.

That's not all, there is a horizontal line coming from the upstream, stopping more than 20 paces away, and the difference is that they are pulled by cattle and horses on the shore, which can control the speed well, so as not to collide with the previous ships and cause accidents.

Thinking very thoughtfully, Yun Dingxing made a contribution first in Li Po's mind.

The generals on both sides of the strait watched with great amazement, and both the enemy and the enemy felt that the time was waiting for an extraordinarily long time.

On the surface of the river, the two headless snakes swayed their bodies, looking extremely unstable, and they were still twenty or thirty steps away from the opposite bank, and they were really short......

Li Shenfu laughed at the right time, and said left and right: "Maybe there will be a wheat iron rod back today?" ”

The generals and staff around him also laughed, but everyone understood that the enemy army was prepared, and it was absolutely impossible to repeat the story of Liaoshui, and this battle was inevitable, but seeing the king of the county with a relaxed expression, he was a lot more relieved.

Li Shenfu boosted the morale of the people around him a little, and then said in a deep voice: "Order, the front army will go to the front line, tell the army, and retreat to the latter." ”

The subordinate general Zhang Gong asked for an order, "The king of the county, the last general is willing to guard the river beach, and he will not let a thief cross the river." ”

Li Shenfu naturally would not allow the pro-army general to leave his side at this time, and only said softly: "Don't be impatient, although Li Ding'an is from a humble background and has no learning skills, he is extremely cunning. ”

Everyone admires, the commander of the county king is determined, and there is the wind of a general, we only need to fight to the death with the enemy......

Li Shenfu's performance is remarkable, with him in the army, he can indeed stabilize the morale of the army, of course, no one knows, at this time, the county king is already hesitant in his heart.

Behind him was Feng Yi, who led 20,000 people to the ferry, once he lost...... If Feng Yi is lost, how can it be good?

At this time, he complained about Li Xiuning, the princess of Pingyang, and sent a message to Yongfengcang for a few days, but there was no movement over there, could it be that he wanted to sit and watch his lover cross the river? Or do you still remember his brother's meritorious deeds back then, and he didn't want to bring troops to help?

Thinking of his brother, Li Shenfu was even more indignant, you must know that his brother Li Shentong and his father and brother have watched him grow up, needless to say, the relationship between brothers is needless to say, since Li Shentong was captured, he has tried many ways to save his brother back, if it is not for "people speak softly", he always has to nod his head, otherwise, he wants to take Li Ding'an's father-in-law Li Jing to call his brother.

In this matter, he has great complaints about Li Yuan's father and son, which will make Li Xiuning an outlet for his emotions.

was so upset that even he didn't realize that he had a great fear of the lowly son from a humble family on the other side.

Before the battle, he was scared by three points......

(I did countless tests today, and I was finally told that I still had to queue up for surgery, and the queue lasted until Friday, and Ah Cao was also drunk.) )
