It was getting dark, and the three estuaries of the Western Front were positioned.

On the south bank, Lu Yi rushed to inspect the shore fortifications for the last time before the night curfew, and he climbed the watchtower with great agility and took it out of the leather box on his waist...... A golden brass monocular, the size of a banana.

This thing is currently only one finished product, and it is a lens polished by Tian Xin's supervisor...... There are many lenses, but the quality is not convenient to screen, so you can only choose the lenses with excellent quality to match them in pairs to select a group of lenses with the best performance.

The other lenses were still left by Tian Xin's side, and the military officials around him worked part-time as craftsmen, polishing and correcting them in their spare time.

Lu Yi observed in detail in the distance, three or four miles downstream of the estuary, where the Wei soldiers were still working, nailing flooded wet logs into the riverbed to form hidden piles in an attempt to block the river.

Bashui is different from Zhangshui at the decisive battle of Maicheng, the Zhangshui riverbed is in the mountainous area, and the riverbed is mostly sand and gravel; And under the Bashui riverbed is a thick layer of silt and clay.

Therefore, the laying of dark piles by the Wei army to the riverbed is not a difficult project, it can only be regarded as repetitive manual labor, and the technical content is not high.

Lu Yi's thick eyebrows frowned, could it be that Guo Huai on the other side was so a little trick?

Gently closing the monoculars and putting it into the leather box on his waist, he thought about it for a moment, came down from the watchtower, and said to Sima Xiahouping of the Huya Army: "Be more vigilant at night, and also guard against the garrison of Weiping Shimen Pass." ”

"Yes."

Xiahou Ping hung the rank of major general, wanting to ask something, but he couldn't help but didn't speak.

Lu Yi sensed Xiahouping's thoughts, and didn't care, Xiahouping, the military commander, was responsible for the daily operation of the three guards of the Huya Army...... For tactics, troop transfers, etc., at present, the three guards will be connected with Lu Yi, and then Lu Yi will be connected with Tian Xin, who is superior.

As far as the formulation and transmission of tactics are concerned, there is a high degree of uniformity at present, and only a few senior military officials can formulate them; Although the vast number of military officials discuss tactics on a daily basis and report at various levels, they are only qualified to carry them out.

Only when the army is transferred will the key military officers be made aware of the specific tactics.

No way, I can't afford to lose.

After all, it is separated from the Wei army by a river, and it is too convenient to transmit secret military information.

Lu Yi returned to the camp tent, wrote a summary of today's military letter, and distributed it to Tian Xin.

More than ten miles away, Tian Xin quickly got the military reports of the Army Corps of the Western Front of the Lu Dynasty today, and asked his staff group: "Guo Huai laid a hidden pile in Bashui, which was intended to block the river and facilitate the erection of pontoon bridges. Is there a good way to break it? ”

He Jing, the second son of He Qi, who had only arrived with the army today, immediately spoke: "Gongshang, you can make a large raft, four to five layers thick, and the raft is based on large stones, so that you can swim down, you can wash away the enemy's hidden piles, and plow out a channel." ”

There are five armies and six rates in the establishment of Beifu, and the five armies are the three guards of the Zhengbei pro-army, the three guards of the Huya army, the three armies of Yangwu, Jianxin, and Anzhong; The six rates are the four rates of Anyuan, Huaiyuan, Zhenyuan, and Dingyuan, as well as the empty shelf scouts led by Chen Taiziwei, and the rate of the eldest princess of the South China Sea.

He Jingsuo's troops marched in a hurry to participate in the battle, and temporarily awarded Zhao Yong the number of leaders; This army will definitely return to its hometown after the war, deploy defenses, and settle in the Lingnan area, so it will drive the old department of Heqi to determine the number, and it will form the four Zhao rate.

He Jing said it neatly, and the surrounding staff and military officials were not surprised.

On Water Wars...... It's not that I deliberately despise the Wei army, and now the Wei army doesn't have the command talent who can fight a water war!

The various tactics around the river were generally experienced by the Han army, the Wu army, and the Beifu soldiers, and they had not experienced it and heard about it.

As far as Guo Huai's current way of passively blocking the river is concerned, it really lacks decisive significance; As long as Guo Huai makes preparations in advance, then his side will have time to make preparations for countermeasures and cracking.

Blocking the river with hidden piles is a very practical tactic, so there is no shortage of tactics to crack.

I'm afraid that Guo Huai, a person who doesn't understand water warfare, will come up with some bizarre tactics that are strange and out of everyone's common sense, which is a little tricky.

Otherwise, all the decent water warfare tactics of the Wei army were full of flaws in the eyes of the officials of the Northern Mansion.

Tian Xin saw that no one added He Jing's suggestion, so he said: "Order An Yuan to cut down the forest tomorrow, and assemble it into a big raft when Huaiyuan is about to fight." ”

Thinking about the Wei army's possible countermeasures, if An Yuan's logging at the foot of the mountain was transported to Huaiyuan's garrison, it was very likely to be detected by the Wei army.

Huaiyuan led the garrison on the east bank of the Tunshi River, and the Wei Ping Department of the garrison of Shimen Pass in Xi'an was vigilant against each other, and the flow of the Shihe River was smaller than that of Bashui, which was conducive to the reconnaissance of the Wei army.

After just a slight pause, Tian Xin turned his head to look at Yan Zhong, the general who accompanied the army: "An Yuan rate will prefabricate raft parts on the spot when cutting wood, and deliver Huaiyuan rate when it is used in battle." This matter will be ordered to be watched, and there must be no mistakes. ”

"Whoa!"

Yan Zhong got up and hugged his fists, Tian Xin bowed slightly, and Yan Zhong sat down on the horse again.

During the meeting, the chamberlain department drafted the order at any time according to the content of the meeting, and Yu Shifang handed over the newly drafted military order, which Tian Xin immediately signed, and listened to Yu Shifang ask: "Public, can the slogan of the night ban be changed?" ”

It is common sense that the slogan of the night ban can change at any time...... It's not surprising to defy common sense a few times in a while.

Tian Xin looked up at the sky where the clouds and mist covered the starry sky, and he couldn't see the sky of the crescent moon, and he couldn't see a little brilliance in the dark, and his tone was gloomy: "The slogan of the night ban is...... The bright moonlight in front of the bed turned into three shadows. ”

Xiahou Shang, who was covered by a black veil and a rattan cane on the edge of the tent, couldn't help but laugh, this command ...... Some pit people.

Soon, however, some of the eternally single military officers in the curtain hung their heads to hide their mourning.

As the night curtain shrouded, the night ban order was issued at the level of the first level and transmitted to the level of the team officer.

On the north bank, along the riverbank, the grease has begun to be lit, and there is a fire every ten zhang.

Burning the Qiang defense line, Xiao Shuai Yao Ge and a few subordinates were on duty around the fire, there were a few flattened and burning hot stream stones by the fire, and at this moment the palm-long small fish were spread on the stream stones to roast and fry, and the slight sound of oil bubbles was covered by the whistling sound of the flames.

"Wow! Woohoo! ”

The hound barked suddenly, Yao Ge and a few people were stunned, seeing that the hound did not react more excitedly, they came back to their senses a little, and heard the sound of the hound barking behind him, turned his head to look, and saw a group of more than a dozen people walking with torches.

Yao Ge was suddenly alert, gave a look to the left and right, and when he approached seven or eight steps, he asked in a low voice: "Password!" ”

"Xiaobai."

"Password!"

"Taiyi."

After asking twice in a row, Yao Ge breathed a sigh of relief, but he still held the sheath ring head knife in his hand, and took three steps forward to see Li Hu's face clearly: "Why did the captain come here?" ”

Li Hu held up a long military order written on a large wooden plaque: "I am afraid that the enemy will attack at night, and the general of the light car asked me to arrange a secret sentry." ”

Too lazy to explain too much to a small leader of the Qiang tribe, Li Hu just made an announcement, leaving a group of secret sentinels lurking more than twenty steps away from the fire, and then turned around and went to the next bonfire.

Not only him, Guo Huai on the Western Front was wandering in the tent...... Xu Huang and Zhang Liao are so good at fighting well, they should have suffered a big loss in the night battle.

Beifu is advancing in a hurry, and no one can say whether Beifu will launch a general offensive and decisive battle tonight, and if there is no decisive battle, there will definitely be harassment.

In this case, where does Guo Huai dare to sleep, always staring at all parts of the defense line, vigilant against all changes.

Wang Zhong's army on the eastern front, Wang Zhong is old, and he is standing in a position high on the hillside, and he is sleeping peacefully at the moment.

But Zhang Xiong did not dare to relax in the slightest, his peers such as Le Qi voted for the Han army, Li Xu followed Liu Feng, the king of Yan, and died in battle, Li Ji was captured and surrendered; Zhang Hu and Zhang Xiong brothers died in Lantian Pass, and Dian Man took the initiative to defect, and many three generations of children of the Xiahou family all ran away one after another, each making a living.

doesn't want to lose his head, and he doesn't want to implicate the family, all Zhang Xiong can do is to be vigilant and go all out.

When he carved wood in the camp to divert his attention, the military Sima strode over: "General! Ma Meng came from the open fire under his command! ”

"Open flame fighting?"

Zhang Xiong threw away the carving knife and wooden blocks and strode out of the camp tent, and jumped to the watchtower in two steps, and saw that the distance due east of the upper reaches of Bashui was full of moving fire points, and countless fire points were connected to each other, moving slowly, like a fire dragon and a light dragon.

On the other side, there were also groups of torches moving, and on the watchtower, I heard the low horn of the Diren camp in the distance, and the grass reserves around the Diren camp were also ignited, and the firelight illuminated the outline of the camp one after another.

Zhang Xiong raised his hand and smashed his fist on the guardrail of the watchtower: "I don't know the art of war, but now I am bold and bold, and I have revealed the truth!" ”

If it were his own Changlin army, he would not raise fire at all, and if the other side wanted to attack the fortification, he would just fight.

The purpose of raising fire and lighting now is certainly not to gather troops to go out to fight, but to stabilize the morale of the internal army and prevent panic from spreading in the dark.
