Wang Shichong smiled slightly, pointed to the big flag standing on the general's platform, which was blown by the wind and fluttered in the direction of the opposite bank, and said: "General Mai has fought for so many years, if he can't even set fire to the wind, then don't sit in this position." ”

Fei Qingnu came up in three steps and two steps, and said, "General, give the order!" If it had been a little bit late, the wind might have changed! ”

The muscles on Mai Tiecane's face were shaking slightly, and the military fan he was holding in his hand was tightly pinched in his hand, and the bone joints "crackled", like setting off firecrackers, he wanted to lift the military fan several times, but each time he lifted it halfway, he would put it down again, and finally he still stopped and sat back on the Hu bed.

Fei Qingnu hurriedly said: "General, these Goguryeo people are all holding wooden rafts to block, and their camps are also made of wood, if we want to attack with fire at this time, we will definitely be able to burn the company camp, as long as there is a mess on the opposite side, we can rush over without a pontoon bridge!" ”

Wang Shichong said coldly: "General Fei, what are you anxious about?" Have you ever grasped the direction of the wind on the Liao River in the past few days? ”

The corners of Fei Qingnu's mouth hooked: "This, the wind direction on the Liao River has been different every day recently, like yesterday, there was no wind at all." It's not easy to generalize! ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "That's it, General Mai can't make up his mind now, and it is precisely because of this, don't look at the west wind blowing now, blowing directly on the other side, but if the wind direction changes after a while, it changes to the east wind, won't it burn the troops of our army crossing the river?" ”

Fei Qingnu choked Wang Shichong speechlessly, the light in his eyes flashed, and the cyan birthmark on his face twitched slightly along with the muscles on his face. But he couldn't say anything to refute it.

Wang Shichong looked at the wheat iron staff. said: "General Mai." If you attack by fire now, you will also knock out your last card, and if the battle situation is stalemate for a while, when the two armies are in battle, it is impossible to attack with fire. ”

He paused, looked at the Goguryeo camp opposite, and said, "Not to mention these camps of theirs. Even the wooden grilles are coated with wet mud, obviously for fire prevention, and these wooden rafts are also smeared with black mud, which can not only remove the momentum of the stones, but also prevent fire, so even if our army attacks by fire now, the effect will not be the best. However, the two armies are fighting, and when there is no protection, this trick may be taken by surprise. ”

Mai Tiezhu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Pass my orders." After five rounds of stone attacks, pontoon bridges began. Storm! ”

Fei Qingnu just wanted to say something, but Mai Tiecane's eyes widened, and he said, "General Fei, hurry up and give the order!" ”

Fei Qingnu sighed, walked to the high platform, and quickly passed the military order of the wheat iron rod in flags, the three phalanxes of the Sui army began to become quiet, slowly surging towards the river bank, and soon, as the last five rounds of stones were launched, the three phalanxes of the Sui army also happened to cross the more than 200 catapults fifty steps from the shore, and the dense shields in the front row suddenly overshadowed the shirtless strong men who were busy just now, and pressed firmly and forcefully towards the river bank with the most standard shield and long lance phalanx.

Yuan Taizuo let out a long breath and muttered, "It's finally going to start." ”

Yizhi Wende nodded and said with a smile: "I don't know what tricks will be after the Sui army's shield array, General Yuan, do you say it will be hundreds or thousands of ferries?" ”

Yuan Taizuo shook his head: "My intuition tells me that it is unlikely, if it is a race of thousands of boats, there will not be such a big gap between the three phalanxes, they seem to act independently of each phalanx, isn't it?" Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he exclaimed, "Is it a pontoon?!" ”

Before Yuan Taizuo's words fell, the three huge phalanxes on the opposite side, the shield array about two or three miles wide in the front row suddenly scattered from the middle, and about a few hundred heavily armored soldiers, in a column of four, each carrying a pontoon bridge about twenty steps long with dozens of boats, tied together side-by-side, nailed with wooden planks on it, rushed to the river as fast as possible, shouted in unison, and then threw the pontoon bridge on their shoulders into the water.

More than 100 shirtless warriors of the Sui army, who were coated with thick lard ointment to protect themselves from the cold, wore black tight-fitting water backings and carried wooden materials one by one, rushed into the water, marched in the water or ran to both sides of the pontoon bridge, and stood on both sides of the pontoon bridge with a strong man's waist, a person as tall as one person, and at least thirty or forty pounds of huge logs, pointed downwards, and inlaid with iron sheets.

Dozens of big men armed with sledgehammers, dressed in leather armor, with broad shoulders and wide arms, who were obviously known for their strength, carried thick wooden sledgehammers weighing forty or fifty pounds, ran onto the pontoon bridge, shouted trumpets, rounded the hammers, and smashed them down fiercely towards the wooden stakes held by the shirtless strong men in the water.

The big head of the wooden hammer and the iron log made a "crackling" sound when it came into contact with the iron log was endless, and the tip of the stake was against the silt at the bottom of the river, with these few vigorous hammers, the tip was fiercely drilled into the silt, and soon, without help, these stakes were also fixed, and the pontoon bridge that had just become shaky with the impact of the flowing water of the Liao River was also much more stable at once.

In just a moment's effort, the first section of the three pontoon bridges was so well fixed in the Liao River, the soldiers of the Sui army broke out into a burst of cheers, and hundreds of fresh troops continued to carry the three sections of the second pontoon bridge, shouting the trumpet, taking neat steps, trotting all the way, rushing towards the bridge deck where the hammer wrestlers had just evacuated, running to the end of the first pontoon, and then sliding the second section of the pontoon bridge from their shoulders into the water.

Yizhi Wende watched as the sergeants of the Sui army used the ropes in their hands to pull back the second pontoon bridge floating in the water, and connected it with the break of the first pontoon bridge, and then quickly nailed the joint between the two pontoon bridges with wooden planks, and the shirtless strong men in the water touched the side of the boat and swam to both sides of the second pontoon bridge, and the sergeants on the bridge were like busy ants, throwing some pointed logs that were longer than the first time into the water, and these shirtless strong men stuck the logs into the riverbed beside them. Holding the edge of the boat with one hand, stepping on the water to maintain the balance of his body, while holding the log, keeping his head pointed down and maintaining his posture, creating conditions for the hammer hammer hands.

Landing on the opposite bank, the temptation of rewarding the meritorious generals stimulated these warriors, although the ice was still floating on the river, the biting cold made them unable to speak, the thick lard could not completely maintain their body temperature, many people's lips had been frozen purple, but no one flinched, there was only one belief in their hearts: build a bridge, force the crossing, and win the office!
