Chapter 59: Gan Ning's shock

Ten troop transport wagons and 1,000 heavily armed soldiers arrived at the border of the SAR. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info arrived at the same time, along with Zhao Yun's cavalry troops, as well as ten baggage wagons, on which all the grain and grass supplies were located.

"We need to build more troop carriages, ten is too few!" Li Wen got out of the car and immediately complained.

Regular marching, regardless of the road factor, there is no way to walk a hundred miles of road in three or four hours, and the key fully armed walk down, the soldiers will be tired, the combat effectiveness will be reduced, and there is no way to devote themselves to the battle at the first time.

Now it's a good thing, not to mention arriving at the destination in more than an hour, the soldiers have barely moved, and their combat effectiveness has not been lost at all, so they can devote themselves to the battle as soon as possible.

The only drawback is that a carriage can only pull a hundred soldiers, but so many people can pull it with only two horses, and I have to say that this kind of horse is indeed very good.

It's a pity that it's a horse, which is easily affected by the environment, and ordinary riding and pulling goods are not a problem, but if you ride directly to the battlefield, it is a joke with your own life.

"Speaking of which, doesn't the general seem to be one of those who opposed the construction of this kind of railroad in the first place?" Zhao Yun was also familiar with Li Wen, and when he heard this, he immediately stepped forward and quipped.

"Isn't this clear? So much good steel, how much can be made with weapons! And it ended up lying on the ground like this? As long as you are a qualified military man, you should be opposed! Li Wen said confidently.

"And now?" Zhao Yun asked.

"One yard is one yard to one yard...... Li Wen is not easy to say, this railway is indeed convenient, not to mention the convenience of transportation, the strategic significance cannot be denied.

As long as this kind of railway is repaired, the entire autonomous region, or even the whole of China. Then even if the grain is transported from the south of the Yangtze River to the north, the speed can be increased by at least 50%, and the loss can be reduced by about 40%. With such a steady stream of supplies, and even the soldiers supplying to the northern battlefield, as generals, they were much easier.

The key is the emergency response, even if the border is suddenly attacked, the large army can quickly move towards the front line as soon as possible, and with the walkie-talkie, it will be against the sky! Well, it seems that brother has used this word before! In terms of these benefits, the role of the railroad is comparable to that of 100,000 heroes!

"There are no enemy troops found in the front, do you want to go to the front line first and assume a pontoon bridge?" Zhang He's scout unit returned from reconnaissance and reported to Li Wen.

"Let's erect the pontoon bridge first, Zilong, please take the troops to cover and guard our baggage by the way. Even if the chief said that this exercise is similar to that of peacetime, it is indispensable to guard against people! Li Wen looked at Zhao Yun.

"Whoa!" Zhao Yun had no meaning, and gladly accepted the order.

In the end, the Ma army will be greatly affected by the battle of crossing the river, and the main occupation and control work will still be completed by the infantry. Although there are only 1,000 foot soldiers who have come to the front line at the moment, it is enough to deal with some unexpected situations.

After more than four or five years of intensive training, not to mention that the equipment is also at the super-first-class level, let alone a thousand people, even if it is 300 people, Li Wen dares to fight with thousands of enemy troops.

The large army moved quickly, carried the pontoon bridge components in the transport wagons, and quickly went to the river to erect them.

Similar exercises were also carried out, and they were also carried out on the Yangtze River. The aim was to quickly erect pontoon bridges when it was necessary to move north, but in the absence of enough ships, and to ensure the training of troops to move north quickly.

Without these components, they would have even found a way to find some timber around them to make a temporary pontoon, but this would be very rough and uncertain. You know, this is a hypothetical pontoon bridge on the Yangtze River of nearly two kilometers.

Fortunately, it is not yet the rainy season, and the water surface is generally very stable, otherwise it will bring trouble to the erection of the pontoon bridge. In all dynasties, when it was necessary to cross the river to fight, it was not carried out on a stormy night, and the danger was too great!

There is a ferry by the river, which is actually more prosperous on this side near the Special Administrative Region. It's just that the enemy army is mainly gathered on the other side of the Yangtze River, perhaps to avoid some unnecessary disputes, but this also makes it necessary for the army to cross the river to fight.

There are naturally ships at the ferry, most of which are passenger ships or cargo ships for ferry, but at present, they are temporarily requisitioned by the army, and all the components are quickly connected, and the iron anchors that have begun to be widely used on the large merchant ships are finally across the Yangtze River.

The army quickly moved north, and an hour later it reached Jiangbei in full force.

At this moment, the entire shore is in shambles, apparently looted. There wasn't even completely dried blood on the ground, and of course there were corpses, and an attack of this magnitude was indeed abnormal if there were no dead people.

In fact, when the pontoon bridge was erected just now, Li Wen, Zhao Yun, and even Zhang He also discussed it. The pontoon bridge was too cumbersome to erect and very unstable. This big river is so wide, if the enemy attacks with boats, how to ensure the smooth erection of the pontoon bridge?

After returning this time, I am afraid that even if Li Yu does not mention it, Li Wen will request that a shipyard be opened in the area of Zongyang to build a batch of clippers and warships, otherwise the SAR will appear passive in water warfare in the future.

Not to mention anything else, if others block the river with their naval forces, then even if the troops of the SAR are elite, they will have to make a detour through Bashu and Hanzhong to enter Guanzhong and the Central Plains, which will obviously be too troublesome and too wasteful of time.

The enemy ships have left, or the vast majority of the enemy ships have left, but Ganning's flagship has not left. Every time he sorted, he was the first to go, but when he retreated, he was the last to go. It is precisely because of this that he can win the hearts of the people and be respected by the Jinfan thieves.

"Wow! It's coming so fast! Gan Ning looked at the quickly built pontoon bridge, as well as the three hundred soldiers who landed at the beginning, and couldn't help but be a little amazed. In other states and counties, even if there is a rebellion, it can be arrived the next day, which is very powerful.

As a result, less than a few hours after they set out, the other side had already begun to arrive on the other side and began to erect pontoon bridges.

"Come on, talk to each other. Let's just say that since everyone has met, it's a bit unreasonable not to compare, there are more than 300 people, how about having a game? Gan Ning was also not afraid of things, and immediately summoned a subordinate to command.

Gan Ning's proposal made Li Wen, who arrived here first, stunned, and then inevitably felt a little warlike. If others provoke themselves, how can they admit it as a warrior. Anyway, it is regarded as a drill, as long as there are no dead people, then Li Yu can explain it.

"Sons, this group of thieves is going to try your skills, are you afraid?" Li Wen turned around and shouted.

"Don't be afraid!" The soldiers have been training for many years and are waiting for a fight, how can they admit it. It's a pity that everyone knows that this is an exercise, a relatively realistic exercise, not a real engagement.

"Hidden arrows are not allowed to be used, only hooked sickles and daggers are relied upon, and it is best not to kill and injure the other party casually, so as not to make everyone die in the end, which will be embarrassing. Even if we are not afraid of others, it hurts so much! Levine shouted.

Anyway, there is no one else around, and no one knows that the other party and themselves are in tandem.

"Whoa!" The soldiers naturally understand this truth, but killing people and drills are two different things, if it is a simple exercise, it is just a simple exercise, and now this kind of temporary exercise makes them a little helpless, after all, many weapons cannot be replaced with the kind dedicated to the exercise.

For example, each person has a Hidden Arrow trap in their left hand that can shoot five arrows. There is a dagger at the waist, and they have also been specially trained to kill each other quickly with the dagger.

In the final analysis, in addition to a high-quality paper armor, this unit lacks sufficient protection and counterattack capabilities, so it is equipped with hidden arrows and daggers on this basis to improve the means of medium-range combat and ultra-close range to meet the enemy.

Li Yu followed the strategy of elite soldiers, but it did not mean that every soldier had to be strong enough to use a spear or a ring-headed knife to defeat a hundred. The smartest thing about human beings lies in the use of tools, productivity has gone up, and after the production cost has dropped to a certain level, the soldiers have not been fully armed, so Li Yu, the traverser, will be too much of a failure.

After receiving Li Wen's reply, Gan Ning immediately gathered his subordinates. The key is that after the formation of the Jinfan Army, he fought a lot with the Jingzhou Navy and even the private army of those families, and slowly mastered more techniques, and the original knowledge was quickly digested and absorbed.

From a distance, the enemy army was discharging a goose marching formation, which was supposed to be a battle formation used by archers, mainly to expand the range of fire. Ordinary pikemen are mainly circular or square formations, and the SAR troops are obviously not arranged according to common sense.

"Do you not understand, or do you deliberately lure us into the bait? Just give it a try! Gan Ning licked his lips and immediately personally killed the 'wings' on one side. It was relatively weaker here, and the small phalanx of a dozen people was not a threat to him.

He didn't understand, not to mention that the troops in the SAR were well-trained, even the army commander had learned that there were still changes in the arrangement of battle formations. Even the non-commissioned officers have been adequately trained in this regard.

The main reason for discharging the geese is that this unit has a medium-range shooting capability, and it can shoot the enemy within twenty meters, and since it is a flat shot, the geese marching array is more suitable. Of course, this is mainly a lure, with the arrival of the Ganning army, the 'wings' on one side shrank rapidly, and the armies on both sides acted quickly, and the original 'wings' became the 'goose head', and the Ganning army was directly surrounded by the 'wings' on both sides.

This requires long-term training, as well as the tacit understanding and flexibility of grassroots officers to do this, and no one can really do this in the Three Kingdoms era. After all, many officers below the rank of military marquis are even illiterate.

"Oops!" Gan Ning didn't expect the other party to change formation so quickly, and he was surrounded by the other party without paying attention.

It was too late, and at once a hooked scythe sniger grabbed his feet and pulled him back. Fortunately, Gan Ning had also seen the world, and immediately jumped up to avoid falling, but two guns in the void stabbed him directly. Gan Ning knew very well that this was the other party's release of water, otherwise what was stabbing at him at the moment would be two spearheads.

finally blocked it and returned to the ground, only to find that the surrounding sons had been strongly suppressed by the other party, and he was also in a situation where he was embattled. What surprised him even more was that the soldier leaning in front gave up the spear in his hand and took out the dagger at his waist! , I have never seen such an unreasonable army when I am so old! Served! Completely convinced! (To be continued.) )
