At this time, the downpour also fell, soaking the bloody official road into mud. Many dead corpses www.biquge.info blocked the road, greatly hindering the speed of the march.

Liu Weiguo rode on a horse, and the impact was not great. But the Ming army who were in a hurry mostly walked on foot. It was one foot deep and one foot shallow, and it was extremely difficult to walk. Li Hai followed aside, and said angrily: "Catch up with Ming'er, let's take over this place in the Ming Dynasty, and we must pour cement on this dirt road." Otherwise, this march and battle will be really strenuous! ”。

Don't blame him for saying that! Because the places ruled by the Ming Dynasty were basically connected to cement roads. Like Johor Bahru Town, although it rains at both ends of the three days, it is completely unaffected by the difficulty of road traffic. And this Lanfang is all dirt roads. When it rains, it turns into a swamp.

It has been four days since they had set out from their last settlement. Most of the time, I was delayed on the road. If the capital of Lan Fang was located in Pontianak, they would not have to go so far inland. The battle for Borneo has long since ended.

Ke Lanfang chose to set the capital in Dongwanlu, which is remote and traffic is blocked. Although the Puas River is connected to the outside world, the twists and turns of the river and the rapids of the river are not conducive to boating on the water. In addition, the river channel is also shallow, and it cannot meet the navigation conditions of warships at all.

So that they can only choose to walk.

But it didn't take long for them to stop advancing.

Because the official road in front of it is close to the river. As a result, as soon as the water rose, the official road was completely flooded. At this time, many corpses were mixed with debris, floating from the upstream one after another. The water on the official road was relatively slow, and the corpses and various broken wood branches were washed up on the official road. Over time, it gradually accumulates.

Slowly block the official road to the ground!

Large patches of red, blackened blood continued to leak out of the floating corpses.

After further infection, the river water also turns bright red.

Let the Ming army see what it means to be a river of blood.

Li Hai looked at it and couldn't help but scold: "This Lan Fang is really ruthless!" Before we could do anything, we began to slaughter and kill our own people. spread it out, and others thought it was our Ming Army who did it! ”。 In the end, it was the war launched by the Ming Dynasty, and this dead person was naturally counted on the head of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Da Ming is not afraid of taking on this blood debt, he just didn't do it himself after all. It sounds like there's always a taste of carrying a black pot for someone else.

And the scene in front of me is really shocking. So in Lehi's heart, he couldn't control his scolding.

Liu Weiguo listened and sighed helplessly. Although he had been on the battlefield for some years, the dead were no longer strange. But his heart still can't be as cold and ruthless as he wants. So much so that when I saw the floating corpses in the river, my heart was unconsciously a little heavy.

But this is an era of life, and he can't change anything by himself.

And what he should care about most is the war in Lanfang Kingdom. He deliberately put away his compassion and compassion, and put his mind on the interruption of the march.

In fact, according to common sense, such a heavy rain should not be marched. However, considering the battle plan of 'quick victory,' he asked all the officers and men to march in the rain. And in order to reflect the determination to share weal and woe, he also followed the large army and marched to the east of Wanlu.

Therefore, even if the rain was so heavy, the Ming army who were hurrying did not complain. After all, with the minister with him, what gossip can he say!

It's just that the heavens are not beautiful, and he has to stop marching. So he asked Lehi to lead the squad of officers and soldiers to find an open space and set up camp.

Of course, he can also order officers and soldiers to cross the river with water. But the river, mixed with corpses, is too polluted. In addition, Borneo is already hot and humid, and the corpse has been soaked in water for a long time, and there is a faint disgusting smell.

It's a breeding ground for disease!

Liu Weiguo was also unwilling to bury the lives of the Ming officials and soldiers in vain for the sake of rushing for a while. Let's take a break and think of a solution.

But it didn't take long for Li Hai to bring the person back, and said with a happy face: "Minister Liu, I found a camphor tree that is more than 100 years old in the woods in front of me!" ”。

It is an evergreen tree with a wide canopy and dense foliage. Because it exudes a unique aroma, it is scientifically named 'camphor'. Prefers warm and humid climates and is not very cold tolerant. It is generally widely distributed in tropical and subtropical areas with high temperature and high humidity.

Its material is hard and beautiful, making it ideal for furniture. In wartime, it is also possible to build ships.

However, according to the current situation, it is too late to build ships. But this camphor tree can be used to build bridges.

And it doesn't take much trouble, just put the trunk of the camphor tree together, like a wooden row, and connect it to the opposite bank.

With the height of a hundred years of camphor, it is more than enough to cross this river.

It was also Liu Weiguo who was in a hurry, and the surroundings were all slash-and-burn, and the trees grew slender and thin, which made him forget this stubble. Now listening to Lehi talk about it, he was overjoyed. Immediately let the engineer company cut down trees and build bridges. Strive for an early date and come to the east of Wanlu.

So braving the heavy rain, the engineer company took active action.

In Daming's troops, this engineer company is standard. Both the Navy and the Army have separate services. And this engineer company of the Marine Corps wears two hats. Not only will bridges be built and paved, but ships will also be repaired.

Now when I act, I am extremely skillful and fast.

When the pontoon bridge is laid, it will take only two hours.

Just as the heavy rain stopped, the dark clouds in the sky also dispersed. The bright sunlight poured into the earth in an instant, shining on the rushing river, and sparkling more and more.

The Ming army, who had been waiting by the river, also took off their black raincoats one after another. Under Liu Weiguo's order, he stepped on the pontoon bridge and headed towards Dongwanlu.

When it was getting dark, the Ming army led by Liu Weiguo came to the city of Dongwanlu.

I saw that this was an earthen wall more than two zhang high, which was not tall. Not to mention compared with the walls of the Qing Kingdom, it is not even comparable to Hue in Vietnam. However, this city wall is sandwiched between two steep mountains, and has the military advantage of being a man and a man.

And the surrounding area is all connected mountains. Just surrounded the East Wanlu in the middle.

This is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is no wonder that the high-level of Lan Fangguo will build the capital here.

For the arrival of Daming, the Lanfang senior management of Dongwanlu has obviously been prepared. Not only was the city gate closed, but several layers of trenches were dug on the official road. Wooden fences blocked the front of the trench, inside and out, and a total of five checkpoints were arranged.

From time to time, there were Lan Fangguo officers, hiding in the trenches, secretly looking at the oncoming Ming army. But their gaze was evasive, revealing the worry and fear in their hearts.

Liu Weiguo did not give the order and immediately started the war, but asked the scouts to find out the real situation around him first. lest Lan Fangguo arrange some ambush and catch Daming off guard.

Although the likelihood of this happening is very small, it is better to be cautious as the battlefield changes rapidly. (To be continued.) )
