Chapter 2057: Crossing the River is just the beginning

Fa Zheng only knew that Cao Shuo was not thin on him, and he didn't know how many new weapons Cao Shuo had developed over the years.

Whenever he was on a quest, Cao Shuo would only take out some weapons that were inconsequential or even that he thought should be eliminated and used on the battlefield.

Even the weapons that he thinks should be eliminated are definitely several or even more than a dozen or even more advanced than other forces in this era.

The use of artillery shattered the illusion that the defenders relied on the walls for defense.

The only bad thing is that the cannon is too destructive, and after each use, it will face a huge repair cost.

Fighting against the Central Plains, Cao Shuo was not too willing to invest a lot of lethal weapons, so after the successful development of mines and new artillery shells, he did not emerge on the battlefield.

Not being used does not mean that the armies do not have reserves.

In particular, the navy and navy have the largest reserves of artillery shells and mines.

Personally leading Fa Zheng to the flagship, and when he came to the many wooden boxes piled up on the deck, Zhang Yun instructed a soldier: "Open the two boxes." ”

The soldier opened the box.

Fa Zheng saw that inside the box were things wrapped in straw.

There was something much thicker than the plate, and it was flattened, and there was a bulge on it, which looked very strange.

In the other box, there were black balls.

He had never seen these things, and Fa Zheng asked Zhang Yun suspiciously: "General Zhang, these are ......"

"These are all magic weapons to break through the other side." Zhang Yun said with a smile: "As long as I arrange the warships neatly and let the soldiers throw some on the opposite shore, the Fagong will be able to see what the enemy army on the other side will be." ”

Having never seen mines and shells, Fa Zheng certainly wouldn't believe in the power of these things.

Fighting a war is a war, and throwing some strange iron lumps on the other side of the bank will make the enemy afraid?

slandered in his heart, but Fa Zheng couldn't say it.

Looking at the other side, he asked Zhang Yun: "General Zhang, I don't know how you want to use these things to make the other side of the river a mess?" ”

"Are you going to watch it today, or will you wait until the day of the attack?" When he received the shells and mines, Zhang Yun had already been tested.

He was completely sure of the shells and mines that came in, and he was not in a hurry to show Fa Zheng.

Of course, if Fa Zheng had to watch it, he wouldn't mind rehearsing it on the spot.

There are more shells anyway.

Of the one or two hundred warships he brought, which one didn't have hundreds of boxes piled up on it?

Bombarding the other shore with these shells can even rebuild the ground, let alone just break through the enemy's defenses.

Zhang Yun was full of confidence, and Fa Zheng looked at him suspiciously.

After a while, Fa Zheng said: "Since it is a divine weapon, it is much better to use it when it is time to attack." After all, it is far safer to be caught off guard by the enemy than to remind them too early that we have extraordinary divine soldiers. ”

"It's still thoughtful." Zhang Yun didn't want to use the artillery now, so he answered and said to Fa Zheng: "On the day of the attack, Fa Zheng will definitely amaze them." ”

Just hearing Zhang Yun say this, of course Fa Zheng won't believe it too much.

After a few perfunctory answers, he came to the side of the boat facing the opposite shore.

Holding on to the side of the ship, Fa Zheng looked at the opposite bank: "General Zhang came one day, I don't know what the enemy army has moved?" ”

"They didn't make any moves." Zhang Yun replied: "Although the defense is arranged, the other side of the bank is very quiet, so quiet that people can't feel that there are people over there, as if a group of people have built a house somewhere but don't live there, not only do people not feel that there are people there, but it gives people a ghostly feeling." ”

"Did the general send someone over to take a look?" Fa Zheng asked.

Zhang Yun shook his head: "I said that there are many fortifications arranged on the opposite bank, and it is impossible for not only large ships, but also small boats to dock. It's simply not possible to send scouts! ”

Looking at Zhang Yun, Fa Zheng's brows furrowed slightly: "Could it be that we are going to be blind and deaf here, and we don't know anything about the local situation?" ”

"We can't get by, and neither can the enemy." Zhang Yun replied: "I have ordered to step up patrols on the river, our soldiers are all very water-based, but if there are enemy troops who dare to come, they will definitely not return!" ”

He then asked Fa Zheng: "Fa Gong, when will you attack?" ”

"The general and I are just here." Fa Zheng said: "We should not rush to cross the river immediately, first camp on the north bank for a few days, and wait until the soldiers are almost rested, and then cross the river." ”

"It's just crossing the river, why do you need to rest?" Zhang Yun said with a smile: "As long as the Fa Gong gives an order, I can immediately order the soldiers to take down the other side!" ”

"I understand what General Zhang means." Fa Zheng said: "I am thinking about more than just crossing the river. Zhuge Liang made such arrangements by the riverside, how could he not make arrangements on the other side? Our army crossed the river, and the real battle had just begun. If the soldiers are tired of fighting, they will definitely suffer a lot of losses. It is better to take advantage of the confrontation between the two armies across the river and let the soldiers rest for a few days. Wait until the river is crossed, and then take down the enemy army in one fell swoop! ”

"When the lord gave me the order, he already said that when I came here, everything must be at the disposal of the lord of law." Zhang Yun said: "Fagong thinks that it is not suitable to cross the river now, so I will let the soldiers wait in peace first." ”

The two of them spoke on the flagship, and the guards of the law boarded the battleship.

When he came to Fa Zheng, the guard reported: "Fa Gong, the handsome tent has been settled." ”

"The Fa Gong has just arrived, and it must be very hard." Zhang Yun said to Fa Zheng: "I don't disturb Fa Gong's rest, if there is anything, just greet me." ”

"When the general said that, I did feel a little tired." Fa Zheng smiled slightly and said to Zhang Yun: "Anyway, we won't launch an attack on the other side in the next few days, and it's not too late to discuss how to deal with the enemy's defense tomorrow." ”

"I'll send Fa Gong off the ship." Zhang Yun personally sent Fa Zheng off the flagship.

Fazheng's tent was in the middle of the large camp on the shore.

An army of 80,000 was encamped, and it was on the shore, and the tents could certainly not be connected to each other.

Before coming here, Fa Zheng had already explained to Yang Xiu, if he was not there, he would ask Yang Xiu to divide the army into five groups, leaving a distance of hundreds of steps between each group.

In this way, even if the enemy sneaks to the shore and lights a fire, it can only cause trouble to one camp at most, and the others can respond quickly and minimize the losses.

Back at Shuai's tent, Fa Zheng asked the guards who followed him, "What is General Yang doing?" ”

The guard replied: "General Yang is watching the soldiers settle down in the camp. ”

"Bring him here, I have something to say." Fa Zheng commanded.
