ps: July birthday, set a bowl for a monthly ticket, there is another chapter at 12 o'clock, and the previous chapter about Geng's attribution was my mistake, it has been changed, and it does not affect the big plot

As early as last autumn, when preparing for the start of the war, Zhao Wuxian's strategists guessed that the Qin and Zhi armies would definitely use the Longmen natural danger to fortify, and Zhao Wuxian's countermeasure was to build a pontoon bridge with the main force to drag them downstream, and then send strange soldiers to try to swim across from the upper reaches. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 But the method of crossing the river is a little difficult, because the river above the dragon gate is turbulent, and there is no means of transportation on the river.

"Shangqing, maybe you can give it a try......

In the process of attacking Daiguo, Shi Qi and other Zhao soldiers have seen more than once that the Rong tribes of Dai Rong and Tu He do not use boats to cross the river, but use leather bags.

After slaughtering the cattle and sheep, a small opening is made from the neck with a knife, and a thin tube is inserted into the skin to blow air into the skin, so that the air flow between the skin and meat is generated, and then the sheepskin is beaten hard, and the sheepskin will be separated from the mutton.

Cutting off the head and limbs of the sheep, then tearing the sheepskin down from the head, the sheepskin will be completely peeled off, as long as the holes in the head, limbs and tail are tightened, and finally blow into the skin, the sheepskin will expand into a bulging leather sac. This single leather bag can be used by one person to cross the river, and if several leather bags are tied together, it can even carry a raft and float many people at the same time.

Zhao Wuxian remembered that when Kublai Khan conquered Dali in later generations, he used this method, and he agreed to it when he thought it was feasible. After the conquest of Daiguo, the Zhao army originally had a large number of cattle and sheep, which were immediately slaughtered and made in Lishi, Lin County and other places and transported over for backup, as many as 2,000 sheets!

In this Zhao army, in addition to the veterans of the military army, there are also many tribal soldiers recruited from the dynasty and Tuhe, who have been grazing since childhood, and many people will make sheepskin bags, and when they arrive at the shore, they will cooperate in pairs, and the actions are quick. Zhao Zu from the Central Plains was a little clumsy, but after a busy morning, he also successfully filled his leather bags and hung them on his chest one by one, like two thousand ducks waiting to be launched, and they quickly made fun of each other to relieve the tension before the war, and the weapons and other weapons were transported in a unified manner on rafts carried by several leather bags.

However, in addition to Shi Qi, a southerner who has been living by the water since childhood, there are also some northerners who are not good at water, and Tian Ben is one of them. The last time he went to the aid of Lu State, he would vomit and diarrhea even when he took a boat on Onozawa, and he didn't know water at all!

Today, watching the soldiers pass by one after another, Shi Qi also seemed to laugh and said that if he couldn't swim, he could take a boat over......

This made Tian Ben unbearable, who were the people on the raft? It was those military judges in black clothes and black hats, and the documents that recorded the war, how could a proud person of Tian Ben be in the company of those scribes who were powerless? He has no rules for leading the soldiers, he mostly relies on mingling with the soldiers, he eats what they eat, and he is not afraid of death on the battlefield, so the soldiers are willing to serve him, and they live and die together when fighting.

"People are dead! It's better to be a water ghost than a coward! After he cursed, he shouted at his soldiers: "Cross the river!" ”

More than 2,000 Zhao soldiers led the rope and walked into the river, and the rope they were holding was firmly tied with bulging sheepskin bags, which were connected into a line.

Tian Ben couldn't help but be nervous at the beginning of the water, his hand tightly grasped the rope, and the fierce tiger on the land was like a panicked little civet cat when he got into the water. But it didn't take long for him to find that with the buoyancy of the sheepskin sac, coupled with pulling on each other, it was enough to ensure that he and his body would not sink into a belly of muddy water, so he slowly relaxed and laughed with others.

However, because of the turbulent current, the Zhao soldiers were also washed away, and the landing site was stretched a full mile long from north to south......

In this case, if it is attacked by the enemy in the middle of the crossing, this division of Zhao Jun may be completely annihilated. Fortunately, there is no enemy on the shore, this area is the remaining vein of Liangshan, and it is also the northern boundary of the territory controlled by the Qin State.

……

On the west bank of the river, more than a thousand horsemen snorted impatiently and tapped their hooves, and their owners in their saddles squinted their eyes and endured the scorching summer sun.

They were Zhao light horsemen from Daijun, led by Post Wuzheng's son Cheng Cheng, who swam across the Lin Land controlled by the Zhao clan in a similar way, and then galloped two hundred miles south to the place where the river was crossed. By the way, the west of the river called "Shangdi" (northern Shaanxi) Bai Di's old land to investigate, what is amazing is that although Bai Di abandoned here a hundred years ago and moved east to Hebei, but the tribal population here is not inferior to the Dai country, the level of development of agriculture and animal husbandry is not worse than that of Lou Fu, and once the forested loess is developed, it is more suitable for farming!

It is no wonder that Shangqing showed unusual interest here, first built two new counties of Lishi and Lin at the western foot of Luliang Mountain, so that they and Lou County were mutually explanatory, and then sent the first official merchant of the Zhao clan to organize a caravan to trade with the various Zhai tribes and open the way for the Zhao army to go south.

Shaking his head, which was a little dizzy from the sun, and seeing that the robes on the other side had almost touched the shore, he asked someone to help them go ashore, and at the same time let the five hundred horsemen on guard in the south continue to be on high alert, and he complained to Tian Ben, who still had two leather bags tied to his chest and back: "Why is it so slow." ”

"What's the hurry!" Tian Ben was like a chicken in soup, with water in his ears, and he couldn't hear people clearly, and his own voice was like a Hong Zhong, which made people listen to it for fear that he would attract the Qin people thirty miles to the south......

"Shangqing has instructed that the general attack will be launched early tomorrow morning, and let the second and third sons dry their clothes and eat a full meal."

"I'm afraid that the night will be long and I will dream a lot......"

really has been in the division of a hundred battles for a long time, and the noble son Fan of the post has gone a lot, because he has performed well in the battle of the attack dynasty and is skilled in arching horses, so he was recommended by Yu Xi as the commander of the cavalry of the Qin Zhao clan this time.

This is the first time that Youcheng has taken charge alone, and he can't help but be a little worried, not to mention that he is still cooperating with Tian Ben, who is known for being unreliable, but fortunately, he always has a gloomy face, like Shi Beggar who owes him money all over the world is more cautious.

They will quietly move south, and when the main force of the Zhao army attracts the attention of the enemy, they will suddenly appear on their north side! It's a tried-and-true trick, but it often works wonders.

But soon, the crow's mouth became a prophecy, it was night, they were suddenly woken up by the people on duty in the middle of the night, and when they looked up, they saw a faint fire flickering in the night sky dozens of miles away in the south!

From a distance, the low clouds seem to be dyed with color, and different shades of red cover the sky, reflecting that piece into a dusk and sunset, which is strangely beautiful......

……

A fire broke out on the pontoon, and cries broke out outside the fire, and the bureaucrats were organizing people to row away the boats by hand so that the flames would not reach and the entire pontoon bridge would be reduced to ashes.

Zhao Wuxian stood on the shore with his sword in his hand, the wind set off a blazing wave of air, whipping him in the face and causing pain, but he didn't want to avoid it. There were countless orange and bright red flames jumping on the boat that the Zhao clan had finally collected, and they were swallowed up into black charcoal dust little by little, and ten years ago, when the Qi State Reverse Ji Water Ship Division attacked Xilu, it was stolen and burned clean, Zhao Wuxian had witnessed a similar spectacle, but the damaged side turned around, and his current expression was as angry as the pair of flames in front of him!

"Hunting geese all day long, but today I was pecked by geese......"

Slack, careless, Zhao does have such a mood from top to bottom, after nearly ten years of continuous victory, after beating the defenders of Dai Rong and Qi Guohe, and taking Cheng Gao lightly, many Zhao soldiers feel that they are invincible in the world, just like a taut string, suddenly relaxed, and sure enough, something happened.

Many of the dead soldiers sent by the Qin people to burn the pontoon bridge died in the fire or under the arrows, and a few who did not die fell into the hands of the Zhao family, and this time one was escorted.

Zhao Wuxian saw that he was wearing a crooked taper bun of the standard of the Qin people, quite like a member of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of later generations, and when he saw Zhao Wuxian, he did not kneel, but raised his head and said in a Qin accent: "Kill me, I will recover, go to Huangquan and drink with the monarchs and warriors of the Qin Kingdom!" ”

The idea that warriors who sacrificed their lives for the country would be resurrected after death was very popular among the Qin people, and the root may be the legend that they had been at war with Rong Di for generations, and the more bizarre thing happened in the battle between Qin and Jin a hundred years ago: a Qin spy was caught by the Jin people and killed in the city, and after six days he was resurrected! And he ran back to the Qin State, and the Qin people believed it even more.

Although Zhao Wuxian didn't believe in this kind of thing at all, the character of the state of Qin was just like this legend, and he died and lived repeatedly, from the mortal death of the country to the soldiers of the west, from the wrangler of the Son of Heaven to the doctor, in order to fight against Rong Di to gain living space, several generations of family heads died in battle, and finally they were able to be listed as princes, annexed Rong Di, and became a hegemon in the West.

In later generations, even though they were forced to the point of almost extinction by the Three Jin Dynasty, the Qin people still rose again in adversity, encroached on the world, and fought a great empire, although it did not last, but it was enough to amaze people and admire their tenacious character.

Qin Guo's character of not being afraid of death and not admitting defeat was tasted by Zhao Wuxian just during the Longmen confrontation.

After waving his hand to make this Qin State dead soldier come true, he vaguely heard the Qin and Zhi troops on the other side cheering.

On the Zhao side, they were a little depressed, and at the same time, some people were ashamed and brave, gritted their teeth and asked for battle, and attacked the Qin army at night.

Zhao Wuxian's stern gaze swept over everyone, making them suddenly silent.

"This Zhao family's shame, where is the military officer?"

The black-clothed and black-crowned military judge quickly convicted everyone, the people on duty on the pontoon bridge were killed, and the staff of the shore patrol was imminent, Zhao Wuxian first beheaded several responsible officials, used their heads to sacrifice the flag, and the implicated soldiers were demoted to death row prisoners and incorporated into death squads, and their crimes were put after the war, and then executed according to their performance.

Some setbacks can also make the Zhao family better recognize themselves.

"Build a pontoon bridge overnight, and the rest of the people will be strong, hurry up and rest, and let the people of Qin know tomorrow that the dangers of rivers and mountains are not enough to insure; The business of the king is not from now on! ”

In the night, the cheers on the other side continued, and in the eyes of the commanders of Qin and Zhi, the pontoon bridge of the Zhao army had been destroyed, and Zhao Wuxian could fly across the Dragon Gate unless he put on his wings......

Maybe tomorrow morning, it's them!

ps: For the resurrection of the dead, see "Zuo Chuan: The Eighth Year of Xuangong": The Jin people were captured by Qin spies, killed Zhujiang City, and Su in six days. There is also Qin Jian's "Tomb Master's Record" in Fangmatan, which describes the resurrection of a person named "Dan" from the dead and his resume. (To be continued.) )
