The capital of the Bohai Kingdom is Pingguang City, if you want to attack Pingguang City from the south, you must first cross the Anshui River, Anshui is more than 200 zhang wide, the sailor originally wanted to drive the warship up and directly lead the soldiers to cross, but the sailor went to the place where there are about a few hundred miles away from Pingguang City and can not move forward, the waterway in that area is extremely narrow, the water flow is too fast, the big ship can not pass, the small boat will capsize.

Therefore, this battle was a battle without the support of the sailors.

Shen Leng seems to be a little darker than when he first came out to fight, not that he is tanned, but he has not seriously washed his face for several days, and he has not stopped since he entered the Bohai Sea, killing, except killing or killing.

It's already September, and when it gets into October, the temperature in the Bohai Kingdom will make it difficult for the army to move.

Shen Leng stared at the sand table: "If the army runs hundreds of miles to meet the water division, crosses the river, and then runs hundreds of miles back, don't talk about the problem of time, only talk about the physical strength ......"

He looked at Yan Kaisong: "I'm afraid it's difficult to deal with the big battle, for the sake of safety, the general will take the sword soldiers over there to join my subordinate division to cross the river, and I will take people here to see if I can kill it." ”

Yan Kaisong shook his head: "Let's talk about it after a while." ”

Shen Leng said: "All the soldiers of the Bohai Kingdom are now all gathered outside Pingguang City, plus the refugees crowded here, the number of people outside Pingguang City is almost a million, although it can be counted that it will never exceed 200,000 people, and the momentum is not strong, the equipment is poor, but the back is Pingguang, there is a big river in front of it, and there are millions of refugees, this is their last hope, hold it can be delayed until the weather is cold, we have to retreat, after the heavy snow closes the road, the grain and grass can not be transported, and now the grain and grass in the army can last for half a month at most." ”

He shook his head: "It's not good to fight." ”

Yan Kaisong: "The news reported by the scouts said that the King of Bohai opened the arsenal and issued weapons to those refugees outside the city, although most of the bows and arrows and armor were rudimentary, and when the army crossed the river, so many bows and arrows, we must have suffered great losses...... This battle is not easy to fight, but if you really go around the road, after half a month, our army will run out of food and grass, and lose physical strength, if the first battle is uncertain, the army will fall here, and if you want to go back after crossing the river, you will not be able to come back, you will be frozen to death, starved to death, and even eaten by those ferocious refugees. ”

He looked at Shen Leng: "So although there will be huge losses in forcibly crossing Anshui, we can't afford to delay it." ”

This place in the Bohai Sea, not that people are not good at fighting, but in the climate and terrain, when the Great Chu was the three expeditions to the Bohai Sea, they all returned with a feather, and the last time they threw 300,000 elites here, because the war was delayed, at the end of October, the grain and grass of the Chu army could not be supplied, and the 300,000 elites had already beaten Anshui, and the siege could not break through Pingguang for more than a month, so that it was too late to withdraw, and was killed by the Bohai people, and 300,000 elites were all lost here.

A famous general of the Chu army, more than a dozen people were killed and wounded in this battle.

Since then, after the first war, the strength of Chu has plummeted, but the Chu Emperor is revengeful, forcibly conscripted, increased taxes, so that the people in Chu complained, within a year the rebels rose in all directions, killing officials and robbing the granary, the second year Chu had hundreds of large and small rebel armies, and in the third year, the orders of the emperor of Chu could not leave the capital.

It was at that time that the founding emperor of Daning led the army to rise up, conquered the east and the west, and finally defeated dozens of rebel armies, destroyed the last elite of Chu, surrounded the Purple Imperial City, and forced the Chu Emperor to surrender.

The bones of the 300,000 Chu soldiers are still under the soil layer on both sides of the river, and they may have decayed, and they may still be able to dig up dry bones.

The Bohai people cut off all the heads of the 300,000 Chu troops, and built a human head wall with human heads along both sides of the Anshui River, stretching for ten miles.

Now Shen Leng is also facing this

The problem is up.

The Bohai people once defended it once, and indirectly sent the state of Chu to hell.

Now it is Ning Jun who is outside Pingguang City, but this scene seems to have been seen in history.

Shen Leng and they are fast enough, the first key to fighting Bohai is that they must be fast, but no matter how fast, with such a geographical advantage as Pingguang City, the Bohai people are not afraid to the point of raising their hands and surrendering if they don't fight.

"Have Meng Changan's people arrived?"

Yan Kaisong looked at Shen Leng.

Shen Leng replied: "I have already arranged for a team of scouts to bypass the Bohai naval defense line and cross the river to the north to inquire about the news of Meng Chang'an's department, but the Bohai people to the north are too dense, and I am worried that the scout team will not be able to pass, even if it passes, it will not be able to come back in three or five days." ”

Yan Kaisong snorted: "There is no ferry, then you can only build a pontoon bridge, I have arranged for auxiliary soldiers to cut down trees to build a bridge, but the river is too wide, nearly two hundred zhang, if it is a splicing pontoon bridge, it will be piled, the south bank is better, when the piling near the north bank, the hundreds of thousands of refugees who have sent bows and arrows on the opposite side even if they shoot blindly, our people will definitely suffer heavy losses, close to the north bank within thirty zhang, our bridge-building people will all die there." ”

Shen Leng nodded: "First arrange for cutting down trees and building bridges and rafts." ”

He grabbed the iron helmet and walked out: "I'll go to the river and have a look." ”

Yan Kaisong nodded: "You be careful." ”

Shen Leng snorted, and after going out, he glanced at the black mastiff squatting outside, the black mastiff had just gnawed a piece of meat and bone, and immediately stood up and wagged his tail after seeing Shen Leng, Shen Leng turned over and sat in the saddle, and the black mastiff rushed out with Shen Leng on his shoulder.

By the Anshui River, Shen Leng asked the black mastiff to stop, he stood on the high slope and looked at the opposite bank, the black pressure on the Anshui side was full of people, most of them didn't even have tents, so they sat there in the open air, in order to make these last refugees become the shield of Pingguang City, the King of Bohai ordered to open the granary of the capital, and the people outside the city had a bowl of porridge to drink every day, so they barely guaranteed that they would not die.

But this bowl of porridge is hope for those refugees, with this bowl of porridge they can survive day after day, if not, they may be inconspicuous dead bodies tomorrow on the fields on both sides of the river.

It is precisely because of this bowl of porridge that they can work as hard as crazy.

Shen Leng rubbed the black mastiff's head, the black mastiff immediately ran down the high slope to play, Shen Leng raised the clairvoyance to look at the opposite side, the Bohai Navy on the north shore was in full array, and there were at least 100,000 armored men on the south bank, although the armor was simple and the weapons were rough, but it was a group of mourning soldiers who pinned their last hope on Pingguang City, and they would be like beasts in battle.

King Bohai ordered to widen the Anshui River outside Pingguang City, the river is not very fast, but the width is too large, more than a mile wide of the river, the pontoon bridge does not drive piles, the water flow can be washed away no matter how slow, how much will the pontoon bridge withstand the impact of the current? And if the piles are driven one by one, repairing the pontoon bridge is equivalent to letting the auxiliary soldiers die.

If you don't build a pontoon bridge, how can you fight?

Chen Ran also frowned beside him: "The brothers of our sailor division didn't say anything about the water, otherwise I would take a battalion of brothers to swim over at night and grab a piece of land, how to build the pontoon bridge during the day, I will try my best to take the brothers to guard the small place on the opposite bank, and strive to let the auxiliary soldiers build the pontoon bridge." As long as the pontoon bridge is opened, it is easy to say that our people will kill it. ”

"It's not that simple."

Shen Leng pointed to the opposite bank: "Their bed crossbow shooting achievement is a mile, as soon as the location of our pontoon bridge is determined, their bed crossbow will be transported to the opposite side, and near the middle of the river, dozens of bed crossbows will shoot at each other, plus 100,000 archers......"

Chen Ran took a sip:

"Do you say that this Bohai King is sick, all the money in a country is used to make weapons and is ready to fight at any time, the common people are poor like that, countless people starve to death every year, but he is still making it, it is said that the feather arrows in Pingguang City are piled up like a mountain, you look at those broken bed crossbows on the other side, they are very simple, although the range is not as good as ours, but the number is too much."

Shen Leng sighed: "I regret not bringing a crossbow array car, if there is a crossbow array car, suppress the archers on the opposite bank, and it will be easier to cross the river." ”

He looked at the other side with clairvoyance: "By the way, yesterday a scout reported that the other side actually dared to rejects Hou and secretly crossed the water, and when he met our scouts, he did not flee in the wilderness, and he cooperated with the tacit understanding to advance and retreat, guessing that it should be the person outside Baishan Pass who arrived in Pingguang City." ”

Chen Ran snorted: "I don't know which fucking bastard it's it." ”

"You go and arrange, increase patrols tonight, double the strength of the grain and grass materials to defend, and draw scouts from each battalion to deploy around the grain and grass camp, although I don't know who he is, but if he is crazy enough, he may bring people over to burn our grain and grass, as long as the grain and grass are burned, we will have to retreat, and once the army is withdrawn, in the absence of grain and grass, the Bohai people will chase after us like mad dogs and bite, if we don't bite, we can't walk back with our brothers hungry."

He raised his hand and pointed to the other side: "The people over there don't regard cannibalism as a terrible thing anymore." ”

Chen Ran responded and instructed the heralds to convey Shen Leng's order as soon as possible.

"The reason why this broken place has survived Zhou, survived Chu, and has survived in our Daning for hundreds of years."

Chen Ran sighed: "It's just that the place is too fucking hard, and those ordinary people don't have a choice." ”

Shen Leng's attention was on the other side, and when he heard Chen Ran's words, he suddenly thought of something, slowly put down the clairvoyance in his hand, and looked sideways at Chen Ran: "You are really a genius." ”

Chen Ran was stunned: "What's wrong with me?" ”

Shen Leng beckoned: "Go and give the order, each battalion will be transferred to the shore in turn, and it will not be difficult to learn a few words from the Bohai people, so I shouted over there, those who are willing to surrender will not be killed, and they will take care of food, be full, and have meat to eat." ”

Shen Leng looked at Shen Leng: "Order, the Huotou Army is burying a pot on the shore to make rice, and now it is still blowing the south wind, how to make it fragrant." ”

Chen Ran said: "But our food is only enough to last for fifteen days. ”

"Maybe it won't be that long."

He turned around and walked down the high slope: "You just said that you crossed the water at night?" Gather some elite scouts, change into refugee clothes, be proficient in the Bohai dialect, and explain after picking them out, you may not be able to come back alive in the past...... When you get there, don't kill people, try to avoid the patrols of the Bohai Navy, just stir up trouble in the refugee camp, set fire when you have the chance, endure it if you don't have the chance, the refugees have a lot of anger, if you can't provoke them to fight against the army, try to make the refugees fight. ”

Chen Ran stopped, turned to look at Shen Leng, and saluted solemnly: "Subordinate Chen Ran, please fight!" ”

Shen Leng: "You...... You can't. ”

"Why?"

Chen Ran said loudly: "They are all men born and raised by their parents, I will also get it if others go, I have no problem with Bohai dialect, Leng Zi, you said, when you go to a place, you have to learn the words of a place, I have been learning since I entered Bohai, I guarantee that Bohai people can't even hear the accent, and when it comes to provoking such a fight, no one is more suitable than me." ”

"I'll go with him."

Sumeruhiko, who was not far away, looked at Shen Leng and saluted solemnly: "Humble Sumeruhiko, please fight!" ”
