Chapter 441: Everything is foreseen
"Qin Shiyun: How can you say that you have no clothes, you will be with them, and if you are in trouble, you will save them. I also asked General Li and Wei Er to send troops quickly to save General Feng Zao and save the county soldiers! ”
At the same time, on the grassland of Helan Mountain, in the big tent of the Qin army in Beidi and Longxi, Fusu issued such a proposal as the son of the supervising army, which was related to the survival of a partial division and the lives of 20,000 soldiers, and he could not help but be anxious.
While Li Xin was still thinking about it, Heifu objected to letting the rider go alone.
Heifu said: "The Huns, the best at luring soldiers, last time in Huamachi, they deliberately divided troops to attack my grain team, in fact, they wanted to lure me to ride out of the camp, and the Huns were good at three enemies and one." As long as the chariot rider is eliminated, the leg of the Qin army will be broken, and if I don't do my best to ride the general, I will almost fall into its treacherous scheme. This time besieging the Shangjun soldiers, I am afraid that they will repeat their old tricks, and take advantage of our eagerness to rescue and surround the point to send reinforcements. ”
As soon as he was afraid of being told by Fusu, Li Xin ordered the cavalry and galloped to the aid of Feng Zheng for hundreds of miles.
The Huns' topographical skills are different from those of China, and gallop and shoot, the long skills of the Huns, China's riding and also. Although the cavalry of Beidi and Longxi were equipped with high-saddle stirrups, everything was very different, but after all, the Xiongnu had fifty or sixty thousand, and they came prepared. The combined number of chariots and horses in Beidi and Shangjun is only five or six thousand, and the remaining more than 20,000 are foot soldiers. Five or six thousand want to fight one against ten? Is this cavalry, or Gundam?
Even if there is Feng Zai inside and outside, it is not possible, the Shangjun soldiers were surrounded by the Huns, unable to get in touch with them, Heifu is not sure, Feng Zai found that when someone came to help, he was able to tacitly break through at the same time.
"Encircle the point to send reinforcements, General Wei said it well!"
Fortunately, Li Xin is no longer the stunned young man who went deep into Chu many years ago, and the white-haired general bowed his head: "The Central Plains art of war often uses this to lure the enemy and annihilate, and the Huns hunt and fight all year round, and they are also familiar with this method, so they should not let the chariot ride rush forward, but should make the foot and horse march at the same time." If a small group of Huns comes, then they will attack them with chariots, and if the army comes, I can use the terrain to make the foot soldiers deploy four armed chariots to defend it, so that the soldiers of Shangjun can also break the siege. ”
"What the two generals said makes sense, Fusu has been taught, but ......"
Gongzi Fusu frowned and said: "The scout said, this is going to Baiyang Mountain, two hundred miles, and the foot soldiers are fast, it will take four days, can General Feng hold it?" ”
They were now faced with a dilemma: if they sent the general's 5,000 cavalry alone, it would be a drop in the bucket, and if the infantry and cavalry marched together, it would take several days to catch up.
But now, every hour, hundreds of Qin soldiers may die, and the speed at which human lives disappear on the battlefield is countless times faster than the grain fleet that Fusu has ever seen.
Heifu said with relief: "The ruler is short and the inch is long, although the Huns are good at riding and shooting, but they are not good at trapping, last time thousands of horses trapped my grain team can not have an inch of merit, not to mention that now it is facing more than 10,000 elite soldiers in Shangjun?" Childe rest assured, the Qin array is strong, and the Huns can't easily break it. ”
It is said that in history, Li Xin's descendant Li Ling defeated tens of thousands of Xiongnu troops with 5,000 foot soldiers, and supported it for a long time. The reason for this is that the advantage of the weapons of the Central Plains formation is too great, and the damage caused by the two sides in a short period of time is not proportional. If Feng Zheng can't withstand even six or seven days in the face of the Xiongnu's bone arrows and stone clusters, it is not that the Xiongnu are too strong, but that the second generation of officials is too wasteful......
At this time, Li Xin smiled and said: "Don't worry, son, I have a plan to make 10,000 chariots and foot soldiers go north at the same time, and they can reach the vicinity of Baiyang Mountain in two days!" Save time and effort, and don't worry about its fatigue! ”
Heifu already knew Li Xin's plan, and smiled, while Fusu was very surprised, and asked, "What is the way?"
At this moment, there was a lively commotion and cheers outside, and Heifu laughed and clapped his hands: "It seems that it has arrived in time!" ”
Fusu looked confused, and Li Xin pointed outside the tent: "Please go out and see, who is coming!" ”
Who's coming? Fusu came out of the camp tent with doubts to take a look, but saw that the soldiers were running towards the river.
When he came, the soldiers and craftsmen in Beidi and Longxi were busy building something by the water, and Fusu thought it was a sentry and didn't care. At this time, following Li Xin and Heifu to separate the flow of people and take a look, they were stunned to find that there was a newly built small wharf by the water, and now some ships were parked, and the soldiers were busy carrying down the full grain bags on the boats......
Looking at the upper reaches of the river, on the sparkling river, rafts and wooden boats appear in an endless stream, lined up in a long line, drum sails and swaying, leaning towards the shore!
On one of the small wings, a general in a beautiful beard and uniform stepped on the shore and waved his hand towards Fusu: "Meng Yi, the supervisor of Longxi, has seen the eldest son!" ”
……
"Isn't Childe wondering when Longxi has an extra fleet?"
Meng Yi was transferred from Zhonglang General to Longxi Supervisor, because he was highly trusted by Qin Shi Huang and proficient in the law, Fusu knew him when he was very young, and even the knowledge of the law was taught by Qin Shi Huang at the behest of Meng Yi, so he was treated like a teacher, and Meng Yi also solved his biggest doubts to Gongzi.
"Actually, it is still General Wei's proposal to carry grain with the water of the great river!"
"I see!" Fusu looked at Heifu, who had not mentioned anything before.
Heifu arched his hand: "My family is in Nanjun, and I often use boats to and fro, and I see that the waterway of the big river is so wide, but there is no board, it is really a waste of ......."
After fighting the battle of Huamachi last year, Heifu found that logistics and supply were the biggest enemy of the Qin army, and they already had Huamachi as an advance base, but the problem in Longxi was even more serious.
The distance from Longxi to Helan is very far, seven or eight hundred miles, and there are many sections of the road in the middle that are inaccessible wilderness, and the long-distance driving is difficult and abnormal. The soldiers and civilians of Longxi add up to 40,000 people, and they need 50,000 stone of grain every month, and if they load 20 stone per car, they need 2,500 vehicles, and it takes more than 100 days to make a round trip.
This method is time-consuming, and it is better to decide to find another way and adopt other methods of transportation.
It is convenient for others and for oneself, so Heifu put forward a suggestion to the friendly forces in Longxi, since it is difficult to transport by land, why not build ships in Jincheng and other counties upstream, carry tens of thousands of stones of grain down the river, save time and effort?
But the big question is whether the waterway will be navigable at all.
The result is obvious, in the "Yu Gong" written by the Warring States people under a pseudonym, when describing the tribute road from Yongzhou to Anyi, the summer capital, there is a description of "floating in the stones, as for the Longmen and the West River, it will be in Weiwei", from the Jishi Mountain to Guanzhong, in addition to the turbulent water flow in Qingshan Gorge (Qingtongxia), Longmen and other places, and there are many reefs, the river is wide and the flow speed is not fast, which is very suitable for navigation, and the local Qiang people often blow sheepskin to make rafts.
So in the past six months, recruiting boatmen from the lower reaches of the Yellow River to serve in Longxi, and letting the craftsmen cut wood and build ships by the big river, and secretly sending people to explore the waterways along the way, it has become the main work of Meng Tian, the supervisor of Longxi.
Li Xin led the cavalry to march into Helan Mountain, and it happened that the water rose at the end of summer, and the originally dangerous Shili Qingshan Gorge could also sail smoothly, so it was notified that the grain ships anchored upstream continued to move forward, and it happened to arrive today!
Fusu also understood that since he could transport grain by waterway, he could also carry troops!
"General Li said that the infantry and the chariot can go north at the same time, and they can reach it in two days, could it be that they need to be transported by water?"
"Exactly."
Li Xin pointed to the two hundred boats that were swaying in the river waves after unloading the grain: "One boat can carry half a canton, and at least five thousand foot soldiers can take a boat and go north with the chariots!" ”
Although the waterway behind it has not yet been explored, there is a river map presented by Chen Ping and Wu Shiyan, and they know that within a thousand miles, the water flow is very spacious and easy to navigate, even if there is a danger of capsizing, but there is really no better way.
Heifu gave up his hand to Meng Yi and Fusu: "The general discussed with General Li, and General Li led 6,000 chariots and horses from Beidi and Shangjun, as well as 5,000 Longxi soldiers by boat. The remaining more than 10,000 apprentices will be handed over to me to command, and they will set off immediately! ”
"General Lee arrived first. Contain the Xiongnu Shan Yu, so that he does not dare to storm General Feng, divide the troops to the palace, wait for four days later, our rear army will also arrive, and then march together to relieve the siege of Baiyang Mountain! 20,000 prison troops, what do you think? ”
The command of the army is fixed, Heifu commands the Beidi Army, Li Xin commands the Longxi Army, if there are special circumstances, you need to be in a hurry, and when you have no time to report to the emperor, you must get the consent of the supervising army, which is also the meaning of their existence.
"There's no better way to do it." Meng Yi was old-fashioned, and when he was still hesitating, Gongzi Fusu had readily agreed, and Meng Yi had to bow his head.
Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief: "In this way, it is the turn of the Huns to be surprised, the speed of our army is unknowable, unknowable, and the enemy has many people; If there are many enemies, then there are few people we fight! ”
The art of war is cloudy, the front is the back, the back is the front, the left is the right, the right is the left, everything is prepared, everything is all.
The enemy's small strength is due to the result of guarding everywhere; The fact that we have so many troops is the result of forcing the enemy to divide up our forces to defend us.
The situation of wars will change again!
Without further ado, Li Xin immediately led the crowd to set out, and Heifu asked people to pack up the camp and march immediately.
Watching Li Xin's car ride and ship from afar, Fusu couldn't help but say: "I thought that General Li Xin was brave but unscrupulous, but when I see it today, he is determined and steady, and he has the demeanor of a general!" ”
"Three-fold humerus, become a good doctor!"
But Heifu was beside him, and said this.
Once it will be successful, ten thousand bones will wither! Li Xin used the death of 70,000 people to exchange for the heart of white head and blood, if there was no change, then he would have been abandoned by Qin Shi Huang a long time ago.
Heifu looked at Gongzi Fusu and smiled meaningfully:
"If you want to grow, you always have to pay a price!"
Fusu didn't hear the meaning of Heifu's words, just nodded in approval, and said: "The same is true of General Wei, I read the book of soldiers and said that the method of using soldiers, there is no fear that it will not come, and I will wait for it." I didn't understand what this meant before, but today General Jianwei proposed that Longxi build a ship for preparation half a year earlier, so I understood this sentence! ”
Heifu was self-aware and said with a smile: "Heifu is a mediocre general, he can't play the opportunity to adapt, and he can only make full preparations before the war as much as possible." This so-called everything is foreseen, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted. ”
The war is like this, and for Fusu, who is now involved with him, although Heifu's impression of him has changed greatly, but the future is to help or abandon, he will also be fully prepared!
