Chapter 343: Flying across the pontoon

"Trainer?"

"Fish and shrimp?"

Di Zhongkang, Shen Tuxiu, and Yu Changxiong heard the news, their sword eyebrows frowned, and they were stunned.

The big war is imminent, and it is too late to train sailors.

Fish and catch shrimp, delay fighters, and underestimate the enemy's carelessness.

"Your Majesty, temporary military training, will it..."Shen Tuxiu hesitated.

Train to ride bravely, and you can do it yourself. He doesn't know anything about training a sailor.

"Wang, touch the fish and catch the shrimp, delay the fighter." Yu Changxiong agreed.

The king has always been a saint, why did he make such a hasty arrangement today?

"Hahaha..."

"Don't the three generals understand the deep meaning?"

Jia asked, brushing his beard, looking up and smiling, looking like he saw the essence of the matter clearly.

"Hmm!"

"The king's arrangement makes sense, and I think it's good to train the water and touch the fish and catch the shrimp." Xu Wenda echoed and guessed Ji Xuanling's intentions.

Shen Tuxiu, Yu Changxiong, and Di Zhongkang were full of confusion, looking at Jia and still puzzled, Di Zhongkang said anxiously: "Lord Jia, Lord Xu, if you know the king's deep meaning, don't play dumb riddles anymore, tell me quickly, what are the king's arrangements?" ”

Hahaha.

Xu Wendalang smiled, if his guess was correct, whether it was temporarily training sailors, or fishing and catching shrimp on the north shore, they were all building a pontoon bridge for Xing Buying as a cover.

Xiang Shen Tuxiu, Yu Changxiong, and Di Zhongkang told Ji Xuanling's plan, and Xu Wenda said: "When the pontoon bridge was completed, it was the day when the city of Guankou was broken. ”

Sound east and west!

Shen Tuxiu, Yu Changxiong, and Di Zhongkang suddenly realized.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

The three generals knew how heavy the burden was on their shoulders, and in bursts of laughter, they strode away.

On the same day, Xing Buying, Di Zhongtai, secretly led 10,000 Qin troops to search along the Guankou River, wanting to search for shoals, and build a pontoon bridge where the water flow was gentle.

Xing Buying dared to make suggestions, and naturally had confidence.

This is about the life and death of Qin Jun, as well as his reputation and prestige, and he is careless.

At dusk, they found a place in the lower reaches of the Guankou River, where the water was gentle, far from the shallows of Guankou City.

Di Zhongtai led the army to risk his life at the request of Xing Buying to build a pontoon bridge on the surface of the boiling river.

At the same time, Di Zhongkang stopped building pontoon bridges, led a large army, and took warships to build a military camp and build a water village in a deep water bay in the upper reaches of the Guankou River.

Camps rose from the ground, and on the undulating river, the Qin army drove warships to train soldiers.

On the north bank, Shen Tuxiu, Yu Changxiong, with the Flying Bear Army and the Tiger Ben Army, touched the fish and caught shrimp in the Guankou River, and the atmosphere was relaxed, as if the southern expedition had been stopped.

However, in the past few days, Xing Buying and Di Zhongtai made a request, and Ji Xuanling readily agreed.

At present, the construction of the arrow pontoon bridge is the top priority.

The south bank of the Guankou River.

Guankou City Water Village.

The river was full of warships, and the sailors were in high spirits.

Wang Wei led the army to strengthen the defense of the water village, and went to the city tower on time every day at noon.

On this day, when Wang Wei climbed the city tower to inspect, he looked at each other across the river and noticed that the north bank of the river was full of Qin troops, and they were all playing in the river like fishermen, and even faintly heard the cheers of the Qin army.

There was no sign of the southern expedition.

"What's the matter with the Qin army, why did it suddenly stop building pontoon bridges and fish in the river like fishermen?"

The deputy general next to him chuckled disdainfully: "General, the Qin army built pontoon bridges on the river, all of which were destroyed by our sailors. At first, the last general thought that the Qin army had stopped in Jiangbei and gave up the southern expedition.

Sent scouts to cross the river to inspect, and accidentally discovered that there was a Qin army, and secretly went to the reeds in the upper reaches of the Guankou River to train troops.

If the general's guess is correct, King Qin deliberately made a look of rest, secretly trained the water master, and waited for the day when the water master was completed, and then attacked Guan Kou City. ”

"Humph!"

"Training sailors, without a year and a half, don't think about success."

Wang Wei snorted contemptuously, his face was disdainful, and he secretly scolded Ji Xuanling for being an idiot.

"Strengthen vigilance, spy on the covers, everyone will hold on to Guankou City for two days, General Gao Yi will lead the army to come, cross the river and attack the Qin army's water village, give them some color to see!" Wang Wei shouted sharply.

The King of Qin recruited ships from Jiangbei and secretly trained sailors, which would inevitably take time and energy, and in the next year and a half, there would be no war in Guankou City.

Burning the warships in the water village in one fell swoop, the Qin army built the warships, which took longer, and in the future, Liu Muyue defeated the Chu naval division in Anzhou, so that they could work together to deal with the Qin army.

At that time, the King of Qin will march south, without the support of the water division, it will be the flower in the mirror and the moon in the well.

In the reeds, Di Zhongkang is still leading the troops to build the water village, and every day, there is a deafening sound of exercise in the reeds.

Knowing that outside the water village, Jingzhou scouts wandered on the river, secretly watching, and they didn't care.

Shen Tuxiu, Yu Changxiong led the army to fish and catch shrimp, covering for Di Zhongtai and Xing Buying, but according to Ji Xuanling's secret order, they reduced the elite every day to prepare for war.

Time passed, and the Jingzhou army patrolling the river was still secretly monitoring Di Zhongkang, but they did not notice what Xing Buying and Di Zhongtai were doing.

Day 4.

Twilight.

The autumn breeze is bleak, and the tired birds return to their nests.

Di Chung Tai rode back to the camp and good news came.

The pontoon bridge was built.

The simple four words made the long-waiting generals feel like drinking good wine and were in high spirits.

The pontoon bridge, together with the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the river, seized the city of Guankou, as if it was a bag to get something.

Shen Tuxiu, Yu Changxiong, Jia Wendao, and Xu Wenda admired Ji Xuanling more and more.

Ji Xuanling's handsome face was filled with a smile of joy, waiting for several days, spending a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and finally it was not in vain.

However, without crossing the river, it is not yet the time to celebrate.

Di Zhongkang was ordered to lead the troops to stay in Jiangbei, and at night, lead the troops to cross the river.

Ji Xuanling personally led the Flying Bear Army and the Tiger Ben Army, and quickly went to the lower reaches of the Guankou River.

At this time, Xing Buying gathered his troops and waited by the pontoon bridge.

Led the army to come, raised his eyes, dozens of chains like a flying dragon across the Guankou River, dense chains covered with thick wooden planks, like a giant dragon lying across the river, through the north and south banks of the Guankou River.

Seeing such a magnificent pontoon bridge for the first time, in addition to the elite soldiers who built the pontoon bridge, Shen Tuxiu, the Flying Bear Army led by Yu Changxiong, and the Tiger Ben Army were shocked and fearful.

Many soldiers bravely approached the pontoon bridge, but did not dare to cross it.

The pontoon bridge is spacious and crosses the moat.

However, the waves on the river are rolling, and the sound of rumbling water is like thunder, which makes people secretly jealous.

In the evening breeze, the willow branches of the pontoon bridge like the treetops sway and undulate.

The Qin army assembled on the bank of the river was afraid and did not dare to step on it, for fear of falling from the shaking pontoon bridge into the rolling river and being swallowed by the fierce waves.

Ji Xuanling grabbed the spear, rode his horse and stood in front of the pontoon bridge, his eyes swept across the frightened Qin army, raised his spear and shouted: "Soldiers, we will wait for Yuan Ci to conquer in the south, Ram Yue in the west, and Lu Boning will be invincible all the way."

Today, how can you be afraid of the small pontoon bridge in front of you, move forward with this king, seize Guankou City, and kill Changchuan City. ”
