Chapter 436: Pre-War Preparations
Chapter 436
"King! The Qin army built a wooden platform on the other side of the river, did it have to call the archers to stop it? A general said to Zhao Xie.
Zhao Xie frowned and said, "Do you know what Qin Jun is going to do?" ”
"It seems that I heard them say that they should build a memorial platform by the river, and they should sacrifice to the river on the occasion of the New Year." The general said.
"Sacrificial river? Let's go with them, send someone to keep an eye on the Qin army, and report as soon as there is a wind and grass. Zhao Xie said.
Zhang Er said at this time: "King, since the Qin army is building a sacrificial river platform, then our army will also repair it." The first is to let the soldiers also relax, and the second is to let people monitor the Qin army's every move in a bright and bright way. ”
"Well, what the military advisor said, then let's do it." Zhao Xie said with a smile. The Qin army was engaged in a large project by the river.
And the enemy troops across the river, not only did not stop it, but also built the so-called altar. Meng Tian, who saw this scene in the barracks, almost didn't laugh out loud, the enemy was so stupid.
Meng Wu also smiled: "We ourselves are almost forgetting the New Year, but I didn't expect the enemy army to remind us." In other words, this Zhao Li New Year seems to be very close to us, but I don't remember whether it was before or after us. Meng Tian turned his head to look at Liang Sanpao and said, "General Liang, I want you to move the artillery to the river tonight, is there a problem?" Our army will attack in the early hours of tomorrow morning. ”
"General rest assured! Tomorrow morning! Our army will surely help the army cross the river! Liang Sanpao said. After Liang Sanpao left, Meng Wu asked, "Can this artillery army really help the army cross the river?" If you force yourself to cross the river, the losses are not small, and even if you cross the river, it will be difficult to break through the enemy's camp. ”
"Father, don't worry, children never do things that they are not sure of." Meng Tian said confidently.
Meng Wu nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that we are really old, and the world in the future will be the world of you young people." ”
"Father, you're not old. Come, I'll help you down. ”
"No, although people are old, it's still okay to take these few steps." Meng Wu said with a smile. In the battalion, Liang Sanpao has been inspected in the warehouse, artillery and explosives, Liang Sanpao has to personally inspect these every day, and there is no open flame in this warehouse, if it is not for his good eyes, it is estimated that he will not be able to see the road.
After Liang Sanpao spent more than an hour inspecting it, he ordered someone to move the cannon out and transport it to the river after dark.
Seeing that Liang Sanpao was still in the warehouse, stroking one bag of explosives after another, the two soldiers on guard couldn't help but tease.
"Look at General Liang, it's like stroking his own girls, General Lin who goes to the south is not as serious as General Liang."
"Don't say it's really like, but it's no wonder that His Royal Highness is so serious about General Liang, General Liang was only a centurion before, and after being valued by His Highness, it was artillery training, and what kind of military learning, and now they are all generals."
"Don't say it, General Liang is out." The two guards straightened up. Liang Sanpao suddenly stopped beside the two of them, and said with a smile: "If you want to be a general, you have to study hard, otherwise you can't read the military books." With that, he walked straight away.
"General Xie's teachings!" The two guards shouted at the same time. After the artillery pieces were carried to the school grounds, many soldiers surrounded them, but they were all blocked by the artillerymen.
Looking at the artillerymen who were seriously wiping the artillery, some veterans said disdainfully: "What's this, don't let it be touched, whoever takes a broken iron pipe to the battlefield, even if it hits the city wall, it can't be opened, the general still attaches so much importance to it, I think it might as well send me more bows and arrows." ”
"That's right, what can this iron pipe do, it's so tightly protected, you don't let you get close, who is rare." When a gunner heard these words, he just finished wiping the cannon, so he got up and said with a smile: "I used to be an archer, and when I first came into contact with this thing, you also thought so. The gunner patted the barrel of the cannon and said, "But as soon as this thing sounded, I knew I was wrong, and it was ridiculously wrong." I don't have to tell you now, you are expected to become artillery in the future, and I heard that the archers may all become artillery like us. ”
"No, brother, don't talk nonsense, archers have existed for thousands of years, how can you say that there is no and there is no more?"
"I've just heard about it, and we can only hear about the above things, so just listen to it, don't take it seriously." The gun commander smiled and patted the arm of the soldier in front of him.
A strong man shirtless said: "I heard that you are going to use this cover to cross the river, and I am a heavy infantry soldier, and we are not afraid of anything, but the catapult and the enemy's chariot, can you destroy these things?" Liang Sanpao came over and said: "You can rest assured that before you go ashore, we will smash all those things, if you can't do it, our artillery army is willing to be the first to cross the river and make a meat shield for you!" Seeing that the generals of the artillery corps were so confident, everyone couldn't say anything, they all surrounded the artillery corps and watched the artillery corps wipe their beloved barrels.
After Liang Sanpao arranged everything, he came to the shore again, and Liang Sanpao had to carefully inspect these platforms that had been built.
You must know that the recoil of artillery is very terrible, if these are not solid, they will collapse after one or several shots, although they will not damage the artillery, but they will also lose a fire point.
In the code of artillery, His Highness writes it very clearly. All fears and threats come from a lack of firepower.
The artillery corps must do its best to ensure the degree of fire coverage and ensure the safety of the charge of comrades-in-arms! A hundred shells can save a comrade, and it is definitely worth it!
Liang Sanpao jumped up and down on these platforms, and even made him step on a few of them at once. Facing the dissatisfied eyes of those soldiers, Liang Sanpao found the general in charge of this matter, only to see Liang Sanpao looking at Liang Sanpao with a dark face.
Liang Sancang directly ignored it and said: "Some of them are really not solid, what the artillery corps needs is a solid platform." During the attack, as long as one platform was broken, the artillery corps lost a point of fire, and the soldiers crossing the river had to lose one more person. ”
"It's not that I disrespect your success, it's just that what we need now is to prepare for the big war, and not let the slightest flaw affect the situation of the war." Seeing that the general's face was getting darker and darker, Liang Sanpao hurriedly said.
You are the general and said: "Then I will see your performance tomorrow, if it is really like what you said, I will personally apologize to you." ”
"Can you insist on reworking now? This time waits for no one. Liang Sanpao said.
"Don't worry! It must be done by tonight! Everywhere, I will personally inspect it, and there will never be any more problems you said, otherwise you can let the general punish me!" The general said.
"Thank you very much." Liang Sanpao arched his hand and said. After Liang Sanpao left, a soldier ran to the general and asked, "General, do you really want to counterattack?" The general looked at him coldly and said, "Do you still need to ask?" Hurry up! General Meng blames it, who is on top! Who dares to be lazy and cut corners! Don't eat tonight, it's a shame for Lao Tzu! ”
"No!" As soon as Liang Sanpao returned to the camp, he was called over by Meng Wu. As soon as Liang Sanpao came in, Meng Wu said, "Are you holding a breath in your heart?" ”
"Old general, the last general is holding his breath in his heart, but tomorrow in a battle, he can all be smashed in the enemy's camp." Liang Sanpao arched his hand and said.
Meng Wu pointed to the position next to him and said, "Sit." ”
"General Xie." After Liang Sanpao thanked him, he sat in the position of Meng Wu's subordinate. Meng Wu smiled: "You know what? The old man has also had such an experience as you. At that time, the old man followed the old man's father, that is, General Meng Fu. At that time, the old man was still young, and his father worshiped as Shangqing as soon as he entered Qin, and he couldn't get the same as others, and the old man spent it in cold eyes. ”
However, when the old man's father fought for the first time, all doubts disappeared. So, what you're missing is tomorrow's battle. ”
"Thank you, the old general, the last general understands. The last general also has absolute confidence in his artillery army, and tomorrow's battle will definitely make the enemy terrified! Liang Sanpao knelt and arched his hands.
Meng Wu said with a smile: "I often hear my son say, how powerful your artillery army is, the old man also wants to see and understand, when the city is attacked tomorrow, the old man will stand beside you, can you." ”
"As long as the old general is willing, the last general is welcome!" Liang Sanpao said.
"Good! Then the matter is settled. Meng Wu said, "By the way, don't tell my son about this. ”
"This~" Liang Sanpao immediately felt embarrassed, because now the top general here is General Meng Tian, not General Meng Wu, if you don't say this, it is not easy for General Meng Tian to know.
"You are also so embarrassed, if something happens, the old man will bear it himself, you don't have to care." Meng Wu said directly.
"No!" Liang Sanpao reluctantly agreed, but he still decided in his heart that after he went out, he would find General Meng Tian and say, this is not a disappearance, if something happens to the old General Meng Wu, then he will be unable to redeem himself.
However, Meng Wu seemed to see through Liang Sanpao's thoughts, and never let Liang Sanpao leave, even if Liang Sanpao shirked and said that something was wrong, Meng Wu also asked someone to go to Liang Sanpao's deputy general to do it at the same time, and kept pulling Liang Sanpao to ask about the artillery army.
Until Meng Tian came to visit Meng Wu after he had nothing to do, Liang Sanpao didn't care, and told Meng Tian in front of Meng Wu, so angry that Meng Wu scolded Liang Sanpao for being a bastard.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Liang Sanpao hurriedly retreated and then turned around and ran. Meng Wu suddenly laughed and said, "This kid, not bad! Until who is the biggest in this army and who should listen to the most, this kid can go far in the future. Meng Tian smiled bitterly and said, "Father, do you really plan to go to the artillery army tomorrow?" ”
"That's it, you said it so badly, the old man's heart is itchy!"
