Chapter 267: Land Ships
The construction method of this land wind boat is actually simple and complex, if it is complicated to build, I am afraid that it will not be able to build a ship in a year, this thing is basically a way to build a sea ship: to build a keel first, and then lay a compartment, and then put together a wooden plank, build a deck, but also hang a sail, and the difference with the sea ship is that the bottom of the land wind boat should be flat, and a large area of smooth flat plate, if it is built better, it is necessary to add wheels under the bottom.
This kind of construction method is naturally not what Wei Qing needs, so Liu Qi didn't say this method, but just said a simple way, the simple way is only four wooden planks, nailed in a tic-tac-toe shape, two planks below the bottom surface should be smooth, two planks on the top are used to stand people, and a wooden stick is erected in the middle to Zhang Fan.
There are a lot of wooden planks and sticks in the army, and the rain of debris in the sky just now not only dropped a lot of sand and dust, but also a lot of wooden sticks and the like, so if you put it together, it can barely fit tens of thousands of Han troops.
Wei Qing left 50,000 people to build a boat, and the other 50,000 people took the first step and continued to march forward, Liu Qi commanded the soldiers to build this land wind boat in the simplest way, a few soldiers can build one in half an hour, tens of thousands of people work together, which can take an hour, more than 1,000 land wind boats have been built, a boat can accommodate 20 people, and these more than 1,000 boats can accommodate more than 20,000 people.
Wei Qing looked at the sky, saw that the sky was a little yellow, and knew that Hua Mulan was a god again, and in more than an hour, the wind would rise again, so he immediately ordered: "Half of the soldiers are waiting here, and the other half of the soldiers will pull out and march forward!" Several generals looked at each other again, Wei Qing first ordered 50,000 soldiers to move forward without stopping, and now let 25,000 soldiers move forward, these 100,000 people are now divided into three parts, they really don't know what General Wei has in mind, but this time no one asked, everyone is nervous to carry out the order.
In Tianshui City, the city lord general Akza and the eight capitals who had just come to the city were arguing.
"We should strike!" Badu shouted: "Wei Qing is scheming, and his subordinates are so capable, sitting in this city can only fail!" β
"Didn't you miss a shot? The result is not the same, failure! Akza sat steadily, and his face was flushed after choking on a word.
"I mean the whole army, not one person!" Badu said angrily: "Akza, do you really don't understand or pretend!" β
"Pretended!" Akza replied.
Badu was furious, took a step forward, pointed at Akza and shouted: "I kindly came to tell you the experience of fighting against the Han army, but you played tricks on me!" β
Akza snorted from his nose, and slowly took out a piece of paper from his arms to show it to Badu: "This is the order of the prince of Wanyan Yong, so that the cities east of Lanzhou must be defended to the death, as long as the troops who rush to aid Lanzhou win time, it will be a victory, on the contrary, those who go out to fight without authorization, even if they win, they will be treated as defeat!" β
"That's the prince wants to guard against this passage!" Badu shouted: "At this time and that time, when the prince gave the order, he didn't expect Wei Qing to be so good at attacking the city, thinking that he could defend it for a longer time, but now the situation has changed, and we can only defend it longer by attacking!" β
"But the prince's order has not changed!" Akza still replied slowly: "Unless the prince's order changes, I will not attack, I attack, victory is also defeat, why do you have to attack, not to mention that now the sandstorm is blowing fiercely, which troops will march in such a situation, the Han army will not attack, we will not go out of the city, and it will drag on for ten days and a half months, and the reinforcements will arrive in Lanzhou City, and everything will be easy to do at that time!" β
Badu suddenly stopped talking.
He secretly scolded himself in his heart for being stupid, this sandstorm is so fierce, how to attack, even if it is attacked, how can the Han army march in such weather, where do they go to find the Han army.
Without saying a word, he turned and walked out of the account.
Akza looked at the background of Badu, sneered slightly, and said to the guards beside him: "Go, order to withdraw the defenders in the city, such a big wind and sand, what are they doing eating sand in the city?" If you can't see anything even if you look at it, let them wait until the wind is light and then go up and watch! β
The guard answered, and went out to give the order.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, Badu came back again, he looked at Akza, and suddenly asked: "Have you read the Han people's book of war, called Sun Tzu's Art of War!" "The art of war of our Jin people is Lao Tzu's art of war!" Akza replied: "Who will go to see the art of war of the grandchildren of the Han people!" β
Badu snorted, and showed a sense of contempt in his heart for Akza, and he said to Akza: "The 'son' mentioned by the Han people is the meaning of the teacher, and the Art of War is the Art of War of Teacher Sun!" β
"So what!" Akza was unmoved: "Even if it is Sun Daxian's art of war, the land of the Han people is not occupied by our Jin people!" β
"Listen to me slowly!" Badu had to start from the beginning, otherwise this Ake was really entangled, he said slowly: "Sun Tzu's Art of War" appeared in the late Spring and Autumn Period of the Han people, the name of the person who wrote this art of war is Sun Wu, Sun Wu was originally a native of Qi State, and later transferred to Wu State, at that time, it coincided with the coup d'Γ©tat of Gongziguang, before being hired as a general by Wu State, he had been dormant for 20 years, after that, Ji Guang ascended the throne, Wu Zixu heard about his talent, recommended to King Wu, at that time, Sun Wu took these thirteen articles to see King Wu, and was reused, and later, King Wu attacked Chu State, and the general was Sun Wu, he won great victories all the way and commanded magically, so this art of war has been widely spread in the world since then! β
"So what!" Akza repeated it again, such a thing did not arouse his interest in the slightest, and he didn't want to be a historian, what to do studying the history of this kind of Han people?
"There are some words in the Art of War that we should also understand!" Badu was a little angry, and he said to Akza angrily: "Sun Tzu said: The husband is the victor without a fight, and he has to count it as a lot; If you don't fight and the temple is not victorious, you have to count less, more wins, less wins, and the situation is nothing, I look at it in this way, and the victory or defeat is seen! β
"Our Jin people have never been in the temple, only at home!" Akza's answer was still so calm, so peaceful, so ,,,,,, angry.
Badu really didn't know whether Akza was intentional or a real idiot, and he said angrily: "The meaning of this passage is that before the battle, after careful analysis, comparison, and planning, if the conclusion is that our side occupies many favorable conditions, there is an eighty or ninety percent certainty of victory; The odds of winning are more, and it is possible to win in actual combat, if there are only six or seven percent of the victory, the odds of winning are less; If we simply do not make a thorough analysis and comparison before the war, or if the conclusion of the analysis and comparison is that our side only has less than 50% of the victory, then it is impossible to win in actual combat, that is, without actual combat, the victory or defeat will be obvious! β
Akza nodded first, and then shook his head: "Analysis and planning before the battle is important, but when the enemy is fighting, the battlefield is ever-changing, not everything can be calculated in advance, even if some things are calculated in advance, they may not happen according to the pre-calculated situation when the matter comes, otherwise everyone can calculate it, why go to the battlefield in person!" β
Badu was stunned, not expecting that what Akza said really made some sense, so he couldn't help but nodded.
Akza smiled and said, "Okay! Let's talk about Mr. Sun's Art of War here! β
Badu reacted at this time, he was confused in his heart, he didn't know when this question was crooked, he hurriedly said to Akza: "It's not about Sun Tzu's Art of War, I mean, we have to guard against the Han army to attack when the wind and sand are strong, we have to calculate this possibility!" β
Akza covered his mouth with his hand and yawned, and said to Badu: "You are really too worried, let me ask you, it has been a few days since you fled from Baoji!" β
"Day 3!" Badu replied.
"Ahh Akza said: "It took you three days to escape from Baoji to Tianshui, and the Han army conquered Baoji, no matter how anxious you are, you have to spend a day tidying up the city!" And then even if they set off immediately, one person could escape back at such an astonishing speed, is it possible for 100,000 people? Coupled with such a big wind and sand now, how can they go fast, in this way, they can reach Tianshui in five days, even if it is fast, now what are we going to guard against? Send out all your forces when the enemy is not coming, and wait until the enemy is really coming! The military is also tired, how can there be such a war to fight! β
Badu listened to Akza's words, and the more he listened, the more right he felt, thinking that he was really worse than Akza, and nodded immediately: "You are right, I am too worried about this matter!" β
Akza yawned again and said lightly: "Then, you should also go and rest!" Let's study how the Han army will attack in two days! β
Badu went down, and behind Akza, the curtain was lifted, and his youngest son, Doin, quietly walked out.
Akza looked at Doin, his eyes shining with kindness, he put his arm around Doin, and said, "Naughty ghost, you are eavesdropping on the conversation of adults again!" β
Doin giggled and said to Akza, "Father, that Badu is so stupid, I sound funny?" β
Akza smiled and didn't answer, in fact, he didn't think that Badu was stupid, it was right to be cautious a thousand times, and it was wrong to be reckless once.
Doin rode on Akza's lap and asked, "Father, if the Han army comes to attack, how can we fight!" What are you going to do! β
Akza's face became a little stiff: "Duoyin, the Han army has 100,000, and we only have 20,000, where can we beat them, if the Han army comes, we have only one way: retreat!" β
A look of displeasure appeared on Duoyin's face: "Father, why don't we try it once, if there is only one way to retreat, why don't we retreat now!" β
"Because the Han army is coming, we will be invincible and innocent, if we don't wait for the Han army to come, we will withdraw, we will flee from the battle, and we will be killed!" Akza replied, slapping Doin on the buttocks, "Go play!" You don't understand these things yet! β
