Shen Linzi always felt that Yao Shao would not give up.

After being hit by the Tan Dao Ji grain cart and hiding the army, Yao Shao sent someone to intercept the Jin army's grain road again, this time the movement was very large, and there were many casualties on both sides, but in the end it was the Qin army that collapsed first.

After that, the land route stopped.

No matter how stupid a child is, he will not dig out a bird's egg and be pecked blind by a bird, and then climb the same tree to pay for the other eye.

But Shen Linzi did not believe that Yao Shao would give up his intention to cut off the enemy's grain route. This is the only magic weapon that he can defeat the Jin army. Although this child will not climb the same tree to dig birds' eggs, he may not turn his attention from the eggs to the fish and shrimp.

Yes, Shen Linzi is worried about the waterway.

The waterway was the home of the Jin army, and no one seriously thought that the Qin army could take advantage of the Jin army in the water war. However, "if you are prepared for a week, you will be lazy, and there is no doubt that it is common", and where everyone does not take it seriously, it may be the place where something happened.

The spies who were scattered came back empty-handed, and they couldn't find any unusual movement from the Qin army.

Until the blind cat meets the dead mouse.

What a lucky blind cat!

One of the spies got lost on the way back, and after a long time of blind fire in the black light, he crashed into a small village. He didn't dare to go to someone's house to spend the night, so he found a big tree and climbed up, made a soft bed on the branch with leggings and ropes, and squinted steadily for half the night. When he woke up, it was already bright and he could see the sunrise, so he could confirm the east and touch it back. At this time, a group of Qin troops appeared at the entrance of the village.

They walked under the trees, and the tips of the lances rubbed against the leaves.

The spies hid among the branches and leaves, and although it was early summer, they were silent.

When the Qin army arrived at the threshing field in the center of the village, they struck a gong, and every house opened the door and carried out a strange thing. After the assembly, Qin Jun and the villagers took these things away.

The spy didn't know the thing, and when he returned to the camp, he drew what he saw on paper.

What Shen Linzi saw was a wooden shelf tied vertically and horizontally, with some bulging things fixed on it.

According to the spy, the monster was large, but it didn't look heavy, and it didn't seem to be very difficult for a man in the prime of life to pick it up.

As for the bulging thing, the color is golden, and it is even a little translucent in the sun, and I don't know what it is made of.

Shen Linzi scratched his scalp and couldn't see the way, and finally found a Guanzhong soldier in the army who had been in Jiangdong for a few years. When the man looked at the picture, he was happy:

"What kind of rare object am I, isn't this a sheepskin raft!"

Sheepskin rafts, of course, are made of sheepskin. The sheepskin is made into a sac, and when it is full of air, it can float on the water. However, the sheepskin used for rafts cannot be disemboweled, as ordinary sheep slaughter does, in which case a large section of stitching is required, and the sac made is not firm. The best sac is to knock the dead sheep, while the sheep is not dead, rub the carcass vigorously, let the sheepskin and ketone body separate, and then start from the anus, roll the whole sheepskin from the flesh and peel it off. This is a handicraft that requires both strength and skill, and it is not competent for non-folk cooks.

Peel off the sheepskin, remove the hair, soak in water, mainly nitrate, several materials are combined, finely pickled, exposed to the sun, do not give insects and mold a chance, until it becomes soft and tough. Blow and seal and make a leather pocket. A few leather pockets are fastened to a wooden shelf and you can cut through the river. When the southerners used wood and bamboo to breed a foreign people from canoes to loach boats, the northerners made the best use of cattle and sheep and found the lowest cost ferry recipe. The literati called it a leather bag, and the folk called it a sheepskin raft. A number of sheepskin rafts were joined together, and the people were able to cross it, as well as the heavy objects.

Why did Qin Jun bring so many rafts?

He couldn't believe that the Qiang, who were about to become dominant, would rely on this thing that seemed to have no blood to the ship to wage war against the ship.

When a golden-winged ship comes by, it will crush the cowhides that blow out like a stone to an egg!

But did you know that wolves can't deal with evil tigers? Shen Linzi frowned, let go of two cold meals, and suddenly became brighter. Learning without thinking is reckless, thinking without learning is dead, rather than holding back in the room and thinking nonsense, it is better not to be ashamed to ask questions to observe and learn.

Find a soldier who can speak the local dialect as a spy, and scatter a lot of them, so be sure to find out where the raft is concentrated!

Three days later, I found it.

The Qin army concentrated more than 100 rafts in a hidden bay of a small tributary of the Yellow River, with willow trees on the shore and reeds on the water, which were difficult to find when passing by.

Shen Linzi immediately sent out the water ghosts in the army to potential the nearby water. These people had a reed pipe in their mouths to breathe, drank river water when they were thirsty, ate raw fish when they were hungry, and nailed them to the river bay unconsciously, and made an appointment that as long as the raft moved, they would determine the course and immediately go ashore and fly to Shen Linzi.

The water ghost lurked for another two days, and the Qin army did not move. After nightfall today, Shen Linzi was about to go to bed when a water ghost returned.

The raft of the Qin army was dispatched.

Carry less than a thousand people.

There are also rows of rafts, loaded with coiled chains, and I don't know what they will use.

Shen Linzi didn't have time to figure out the purpose of the iron chain, so he immediately ordered the warship to be dispatched to follow the Qin army from afar. The Qin army must have been reconnoitring for a long time, and had already figured out the rules of the Jin army's grain ships, and knew that a fleet of ships was going to come from Luoyang tomorrow morning, so they had to set up an ambush in the middle.

Shen Linzi didn't expect Guo Xu to come out halfway.

The Qin army mantis catches cicadas, Shen Linzi yellow finch is behind, God knows how there will be a night owl with a sharp beak stretched out in the oblique thorn!

In a night battle, the Qin army was attacked by a sneak attack when it was the most defenseless, and when it had just mustered the courage to fight a decisive battle against the water, it was attacked by land and water, and finally only ran away from two or three hundred people on the south bank, and more than 1,000 officers and soldiers on the north bank, including three generals, all died on the riverside, and the Jin army brought to the back was less than 100 people.

The iron chains of the Qin army were installed very strangely, they were not fixed by deep piles, they were just randomly wrapped around the big stones on the shore, and if they collided with a big ship, they could not withstand it at all.

No wonder the sound of piling was not heard.

But what good can such a chain be used for at the touch of a button?

When he saw the sheepskin raft, Shen Linzi pondered for a long time, and finally understood the true intention of the Qin army.

An iron hook was attached to the head of all rafts. Except for the places where people sit, the rafts were piled with grease-filled bales.

The Qin army did not have to rely on iron chains to stop large ships, which required a lot of engineering, and the fighters did not allow it at all. When they saw the distant shadow of the Jin fleet, they immediately exerted their strength on both sides of the river, flattened the iron chains that had sunk into the water, and then pushed the raft into the river, and hung it on the iron chain at intervals with the iron hook at the head of the raft, while the raft threw down the stones. At this time, the soldiers on the shore let go, and a pontoon bridge of chains and rafts appeared on the river. The moment the bow of the Jin army's big ship hits the pontoon bridge, the dead soldiers on the raft will cut off the stones on the rock, and the raft with iron chains floats down the water, and sticks to its sides with the momentum of the big boat. The people on the raft would light the bales of straw and let the flames hug the boat, while they themselves jumped into the water to escape. Once the first boat catches fire, the people on board only care about fleeing for their lives, and no one can row and control the rudder anymore, and the big ship loses power and will be washed by the river to the follow-up boats, colliding and burning. The Qin army prepared three iron chains, and if the first line missed, there would be a chance to continue the fire attack later. If the first line succeeds, the two chains behind do not have to be pulled up, let it **, and the rafts unhook the iron hooks, float down the water, and set fire to the big boat. The Qin army on the shore calmly waited for the slaughter of the survivors who climbed ashore.

Guo Xu admired Shen Linzi very much, and he felt that Shen Linzi's judgment was very reasonable, because he really couldn't find a more subtle tactic than this.

Fortunately, this qiē calculation is just a calculation in the end.

As for Shen Linzi, he couldn't help but recite 10,000 Buddha numbers. Liu Yu had already sent a letter to tell him that he would send Guo Xu to escort grain to relieve the difficulty, and he also estimated that he was about to arrive, but he never expected him to appear here in heaven and launch a surprise attack, making the victory even more suspenseless. If it weren't for the hussars, even if the Qin army could not intercept the grain, most of them would still be able to withdraw, so that they would not steal chickens and rice.

The hussars had not yet reached Tongguan, and had already weighed heavily on Yao Shao's back.

No matter how much a camel can carry it, it can't withstand such pressure.

Shen Linzi remembered the letter written by Tan Daoji to Yao Shao, and when he thought that the latter was about to learn the latest bad news, he couldn't help but burst into a prank pleasure and burst out laughing.

Guo Xu said what Shen Jun was laughing at.

Shen Linzi stretched out his hand to put his arm around Guo Xu's shoulders and hugged him forward, his voice was lazy and relaxed;

"It's nothing, if I have a girl, I'll give it to you!"

Guo Xu also smiled:

"Just because I helped you ambush?"

"No, because people say that you are a stupid boy who strikes iron, I think you are a fool and a fool, and my sister can't lose anything if you follow you."

Guo Xu provided the truth for the statement of "silly boy", and only knew how to laugh stupidly.

But a thought faintly passed through my heart:

If only Sun Qiao thought so.
