Chapter 170: The Iron Cable, the River Bridge
On this day, the Yangtze River was foggy, and Liu Xuewu and Sun Ce temporarily stopped fighting. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info are vigilant against being attacked by the other party in the fog, but they are deeply wary of each other. However, Liu Xuewu did have a new trend here, and he still remembered another time and space in his previous life, Jiangdong lacked arrows, so he had to ask Zhuge Liang to borrow arrows from a straw boat. This time, Liu Xuewu also wanted to imitate one or two,
Fourteen speedboats quietly sailed out from the west bank of the Yangtze River before dawn and sailed straight to the other side of the river. If it weren't for the mist on the river, if you looked closely, you would find that each ship had a giant crossbow on the bow, carrying iron arrows that were hundreds of times magnified by pure steel as thick as an adult's arm. And the head of this iron arrow is modeled after the anchor head of this ancient ship, as long as the iron arrow of this anchor head is launched to the ground, it can definitely penetrate more than ten meters. The most important thing is that the tail behind the iron arrow is not a feather, but an iron ring linked to a thick fine steel cable. Liu Xuewu's real purpose this time is to take advantage of the fog and get as close to the other side as possible without the other party wiping it. Shoot this giant iron arrow to the opposite bank with a rope, as long as it succeeds, even if there is only one, the next attack on Jiangdong and crossing the Yangtze River will be a big success.
Perhaps because of the recent high tide, the fog in the river is getting deeper and deeper. This gave Liu Xuewu's side a unique innate condition, when the ship was close to the east coast of the other party, there was only one-third of the distance. The lights began to shine on the Jiangdong side, and looking at the scene, I definitely found something strange on the river. Liu Xuewu immediately ordered to launch a giant crossbow. Almost at the same time, fourteen speedboats and sailboats all launched their iron arrow ziplines that had long been ready to be fired.
It may be that the soldiers on Jiangdong's side reacted slowly, and some soldiers were frightened by the huge iron arrow that suddenly flew from Jiangxin, and they were stunned in place, and one of the unlucky guys was directly connected by the huge iron arrow with the iron cable through the **** of the body, and finally with the iron arrow nailed to the ground, the whole person, oh no, the whole corpse was hanging on this iron cable.
Zhou Yu saw the iron rope at this scene, and the secret way was not good. Hurriedly asked the soldiers to shoot arrows towards Jiangxin to block the incoming enemy.
This is exactly what Liu Xuewu wants, and he made every ship start beating drums and make noise as early as when the ship shot arrows. Then he imitated the straw boat and borrowed arrows, so that the soldiers on the ship hid in the cabin, and put the straw men that had been prepared outside the ship. As waves of arrows flew along the Jiangdong coast, the straw men on almost every ship were fully loaded. Before leaving, Liu Xuewu did not forget, and asked the soldiers to learn the straw boat to borrow arrows and shouted: "Thank you to Jiangdong Zhou Yu for sending arrows." ”
At this moment, Zhou Yu, who was trying to find a way to cut the iron cable, was so angry that his eyes were dizzy, but fortunately, Zhou Yu's concentration was strong enough and he didn't vomit blood on the spot, but he was also a little tired and his body was not very comfortable.
At this time, there was also a deputy general on the side who asked a little uninterestingly: "Then the Metropolitan Governor, do we still cut this iron cable?" ”
"The Venerable Master's family is still chopping wool?" After Zhou Yu scolded the lieutenant general, he felt much better in his heart, and turned around and left as soon as he flicked his cloak. scolded in his heart: "Lao Tzu's sleep was woken up again tonight, I want to go back to make up for sleep." ”
That is, because Zhou Yu carelessly ignored these iron cables, you must know that these are made of stainless steel by Liu Xuewu, and ordinary swords cannot be cut. In addition, Zhou Yu did not have an order, and several generals below also tried to cut it. Instead, he broke several knives, so he let it go.
If they knew later that this was the culprit of their Jiangdong loss, I don't know if they laughed or cried at that time.
In the three days of preparation, Liu Xuewu had already erected nine iron cables, and the fourteen finally succeeded in nine of them, and Liu Xuewu himself was very satisfied with this result. After all, it only takes three iron cables to erect a cable pontoon bridge with a triangular fix, but the number of people who can pass through it is really limited, and now there are nine iron cables, so it is very classic to have an aerial bridge.
Liu Xuewu's final idea of crossing the Yangtze River is to complete the feat of a Yangtze River pontoon bridge, and the bold move of this Yangtze River pontoon bridge is because Liu Xuewu in his previous life went to Chaozhou and walked across the legendary chain bridge. It is a pontoon bridge fixed with iron locks arranged by small boats, which can be retracted and placed, which is convenient and fast. Although the Han River in Chaozhou is not as good as the choppy Yangtze River, it is also feasible to replace small boats with large sailboats.
Tiebei is now the iron lock has succeeded, and then Liu Xuewu is to transfer troops and generals, preparing to ride across the Yangtze River and complete the only and first feat in human history.
Perhaps the morning of the Yangtze River in winter was full of fog, and Liu Xuewu did not move for three consecutive days, which made Zhou Yu have to be on strict guard. Zhou Yu, who originally wanted to squint on the bed for a while, was suddenly woken up by the soldier who broke in, and he wanted to get angry, but he heard the soldier shouting that there was a situation on the river.
At this moment, Zhou Yu hurriedly got dressed and rushed out of the bed. Against the cool winter breeze, Zhou Yu couldn't help but sneeze, but out of the corner of his eye, he also saw sailboats sailing out of the middle of the river and then lined up. At first, I thought it was Liu Xuewu who wanted to repeat the old trick, but the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became. This Liu Xuewu has been famous for so long, and he is by no means an idle person. He is already careful everywhere when he fights with him, but he is still played by him if he is not careful. So experience tells Zhou Yu that this is definitely not simple. But I don't want the soldiers to waste arrows in vain, you must know that the previous indiscriminate shooting cost hundreds of thousands of arrows in Jiangdong. Now Zhou Yu's department does not have much inventory of arrowheads, so just in case, Zhou Yu still made the most prudent decision at present. The sailors attacked, testing the truth and the false.
However, Liu Xuewu drove the huge sailing ships to the iron cable, took advantage of the water potential, put the boat horizontally on our iron cable, and then fixed the hull. One by one, wait for Zhou Yu to find out. The sailboat was already lined up with most of the iron cables, and it was not afraid of the attack of the Jiangdong sailors behind it.
The situation in front of him is the same as Cao Cao's iron cable in the battle of Chibi at another moment, and he is most afraid of fire attacks. Fortunately, the Yangtze River is now full of fog, and the fog is damp and cannot catch fire. Liu Xuewu is gambling now that he is now, and the large-scale cavalry behind him is waiting for the bridge to be completed and fight.
Due to the fog, the sailors dispatched by Jiangdong unexpectedly and coincidentally drove in the direction of the iron cable. Accidentally embedded in the ranks of the iron cable, the soldiers under the command of Liu Xuewu saw the opportunity to jump on the Jiangdong warship, started a fight, and relied on the reinforcements behind to take advantage of the numerical advantage to capture the ship. Just filled the most important and difficult part of the Jiangdong Iron Cable, when a large number of ships gradually approached the shores of Jiangdong, laying the planks that had been prepared for a long time, with the leading pioneer general shouting: "Kill."
