readx;?“ Report!!! ”

A scout, on a fast horse, shouted as he galloped. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the vanguard of the Jiaozhi army, the pioneer general Chen Gai was a little uneasy: "Could it be that the bridge on the Yuhong River was destroyed by the Han people?" He swore to the commander Taiwei Guo Qingri that he would definitely reach the city of Qinzhou this afternoon, but if the bridge was destroyed, then they would have to take a long detour and force their way across the river from the slower and shallower section of the river. In this way, it is definitely not possible to reach Qinzhou City in a short time.

"How's the bridge ahead?"

Chen Gai asked eagerly.

"General Huiyu,

The bridge ahead is safe, and the Han people did not destroy the bridge......"

The scout's answer surprised Chen Gai: "Impossible, along the way, the Han people have long known the news of the arrival of my Jiaozhi army, how could they not destroy the bridge?" ”

The scout had already thought of his words: "Back to the general, this bridge is made of marble, strong and durable, and cannot be completely destroyed for a while. Moreover, although the Han people are rich, they can't build bridges every year...... "The implication is that if Jiaozhi comes to attack every year, won't the Han people destroy bridges and build bridges every year? Even if you have millions of family fortunes, you can't help but consume it like this! The Han people are not stupid, you are here, I am strong and clear, and I will not fight with you. If you don't get any benefits, you will naturally leave. Why should I work so hard, not to mention the loss of human life, and the money cannot be saved?

Of course, this is just Chen Gai's own speculation, and as for the real situation, he has no idea at all.

In the city of Qinzhou, the governor of Qinzhou also asked Zhe Kexing, why not destroy the stone bridge on the Yuhong River, so that the Jiaozhi army could go straight to the city of Qinzhou? Zhi Kexing explained with a smile: "There are clouds in the military book, and the virtual is real, and the real is virtual. I deliberately did not destroy the bridge, so that the people of Annam were suspicious, afraid of an ambush, but instead took every step of the way. In this way, it will be possible to delay the march without much effort. Moreover, to protect the city of Qinzhou and destroy a stone bridge, it will not help at all. The Annan people are determined to take the city of Qinzhou, so no matter what, they will arrive at the city of Qinzhou. Destroyed the stone bridge, in the future, we will go out of the city to fight back, how can we block it on the Yuhong River, and we can't advance or retreat? ”

Zhizhou understood, it turned out that everything Zhe Kexing did was thinking about how to annihilate this attacking enemy. But he was still a little worried: "General, I heard that there are 100,000 people in Annan's army, and I have waited for less than 50,000, how can I beat the Annan people?" ”

Zhi Kexing said with a smile: "Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud, 'Soldiers are not good, but there is no martial arts, which is enough to combine forces, anticipate the enemy, and take people.'" But those who are careless and vulnerable, they will be captured. 'Though there are many enemy troops, they are nothing but a rabble in my eyes. In recent years, the Holy Lord has rectified the armaments, cleared the Innai, and banned the combat strength of the army, which is not the same as in the past. The enemy army is 100,000, 200,000, so what? A plate of scattered sand, hit it and collapse! ”

In terms of the combat effectiveness of the border army and the forbidden army, the border army may have outbeaten the forbidden army a lot. But since Lu Chengqi went all out to reorganize the army, the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army has soared. In addition, they participated in the suppression of bandits, enhanced their actual combat capabilities, cooperated more well, and added the latest firearms, these more than 40,000 forbidden troops, under normal circumstances, would definitely not be afraid of the 100,000 troops of Annan. Besides,

Annam's 100,000-strong army, how much water is in it, I don't know yet! The war is actually about logistics, and no matter how rampant the Annan people are, they don't dare not bring grain and grass, right? Grain and grass need to be transported by auxiliaries, right? In this way, 100,000 people can have 50,000 soldiers, which is too much.

Zhe Kexing is also from the army, and he can see the combat effectiveness of the soldiers at a glance. In ancient times, the command ability of middle and low-level officers was highly valued, and often middle and low-level officers were slaughtered by the enemy, so it was very difficult to defeat the enemy army. Most of the officers of the forbidden army have been trained by the Royal Military Academy, and it is a piece of cake for the non-commissioned officers who cooperate with the battle and command a group and a battalion. It is also only the forbidden army that has this kind of treatment. Although there were also officers sent to the Royal Military Academy in the border army, the proportion was certainly much smaller.

This is true for officers, not to mention non-commissioned officers. Dashun's army is a truly professional army. After joining the army, the basic task is to train and prepare for battle. Unlike the previous dynasties, there was still some kind of government and military system, and while fighting, they also had to farm. Where does such a soldier have time to practice? Since Lu Chengqi began the reform of the forbidden army, the training of the forbidden army has been almost rain or shine...... Anyway, you don't want to stop except to eat and sleep. Such professional and formalized training can not be compared with those soldiers in Annan who have hastily practiced things? During this time, after checking the training of the forbidden army, he was secretly frightened. Unconsciously, the forbidden army has surpassed the border army and has become the most powerful army in Dashun.

With this layer of confidence, Zhi Kexing said to this Zhizhou: "Don't worry, Qinzhou City can't be broken, these 100,000 Annan people are in a catastrophe!" ”

After Zhizhou got the words of Zhe Kexing, he retreated with a little peace of mind.

After noon, Tanma reported that it had been found that the vanguard of the Jiaozhi army was less than fifty miles away from Qinzhou City, and it was estimated that it would arrive at Qinzhou City within half an hour.

Zhi Kexing had already put on a suit of armor, and even Na Zhizhou got an iron helmet, put it on his head, and accompanied Zhi Kexing to the city wall, ready to personally command the battle. And in the city of Qinzhou, in the urn city on all sides, 20,000 forbidden troops have already been ambushed, ready to go.

As for all kinds of defensive equipment, such as bed crossbows, trebuchets, and all kinds of wood, such as yakshas, bricks, mud, wood, cars, trees, falling stones, and wolf's teeth...... There are also wooden curtains, cloth curtains, leather curtains, etc., which are hung on the outside of the battlements, and bamboo stands, wooden stands, grate fences, leather bamboo fences, and city protection shields erected on the city wall to cover the arrows and stones shot by the besieging enemy; There are plugboards, secret doors, chacha signs, plugged door knife carts, wooden female heads and wooden female walls to strengthen the defense of the city gate and battlements, so that when the city gate and female wall are destroyed, these instruments can be used for emergency remedy and prevent the enemy from rushing into the city from the breach; There were forks and poles that supported the enemy's ladders near the city, and they were piled up on the city wall.

Zhi Kexing and Zhizhou went up to the city wall and entered the enemy tower. The enemy tower is extended from the city gate to the left and right sides, and the building is built at certain intervals, and the enemy tower at the corner of the city wall is called the regimental building. And it was the regimental building that Zhekexing entered. The regimental building can accommodate 10 or 20 soldiers, and is equipped with heavy weapons and equipment such as bed crossbows, stone throwers, and rolling wooden stones to form a key defense, and together with the soldiers lined up behind the women's wall, form a crossfire. Because it can store troops, once there are casualties, soldiers can be immediately sent to make up for it, so as not to have a defensive gap.

As for the drawbridge under the city, it has long been raised, and the people are not allowed to enter or leave. Inside and outside the moat, except for a suspension bridge, there are densely covered with things that hinder the enemy's advance, such as thistles, astringencies, horse pits, water chestnuts, traps, etc., which will not make you feel good anyway, creating an appearance of defending Qinzhou City.

When the forbidden army sharpened its knives, the vanguard of the Jiaozhi army could only appear in sight, and a big battle was about to break out. (To be continued.) )
