Chapter 49: Demolition of the Bridge

Demolition of the bridge......

"This little white-faced heart is vicious!"

Wang Yue poked his head out among the water and grass, and looked at the Baigou Bridge with emotion.

It is said that this bridge is really very related to him, these days he is dealing with this bridge, at this moment this bridge has become the rear of Yelu Dashi, the south bank of 15,000 Liao troops lined up against the water, constantly impacting the formation of the Song army in the middle of the road, and all they need is transported to the south bank through this bridge.

Food.

Replenishment that consumes arrows.

Reinforcements included......

The infantry could not wade across the river, and only the cavalry could wade downstream, but the height of the nostrils of a war horse was much higher than that of a man.

So what happens if the bridge is demolished?

Wang Yue did not hesitate to dive underwater, and then swam silently towards the Baigou Bridge.

The Liao army guarding at both ends of the bridge did not notice at all, the sediment content of the Baigou River is still not small, especially in this flood season, the river water pouring out of the Taihang Mountain, although it is not comparable to the Yellow River, but the figure of diving under the water can not be seen.

Even the soldiers patrolling the bridge were equally unaware.

Wang Yue appeared silently under the bridge and quietly poked his head out.

The Baigou Bridge in front of you is a wooden bridge with a figure-eight bracing, that is, a solid soil layer is dug under the riverbed during the dry season, and then a boat-shaped foundation is built with stones after tamping, and a round wooden pile is inserted on top to fix it, and then many roots together form a group of bridge piers. On top of this pier is erected an upward radial wooden brace, of course, this wooden brace is also composed of a plurality of logs, and finally the bridge deck is also composed of logs, and the bottom figure brace together form a load-bearing structure.

The plank deck is then laid on the top level.

There are a total of three such figure-of-eight braces in the Baigou River, and the interval between each is about 20 meters.

Destroy one and you're good to go.

The purpose of the Great Song Dynasty to build a wooden bridge here instead of a stone arch bridge was actually to burn it down when needed.

After all, Baigou is the defense line of the Great Song Dynasty.

With a malicious smile on his face, Wang Yue stretched out his hand into the air, and the ancestral treasure axe appeared instantly......

"The life of the open is cool!"

After saying that, he chopped down with an axe.

One of the logs that make up the pier was cut out of the gap in an instant.

It can't even be said to be a chop, as if swept with an axe, this thigh-thick should be an elm stubble missing a piece, as if it was gnawed by something, and then there was a breaking sound, and at the same time the missing piece fell, the whole bridge shook slightly, and the log twisted strangely to one side.

This is enough to alert the people on the bridge.

A patrolling soldier leaned down in confusion......

"There's someone under the bridge!"

He screamed suddenly.

Wang Yue, who was staring at him, smiled brightly at him, and the next moment the axe in his hand fell again.

Then there was another gap in the log, and the huge weight on it made it bend again, and with a piercing tearing sound, the other side finally broke, and the log, which had been straight, suddenly looked like a hunchbacked old man who was almost ninety years old.

The next moment it broke completely.

The entire bridge shook suddenly, but then stabilized.

It's not surprising that there are more than 20 such stakes, and if one is missing, it won't collapse.

Then Wang Yue raised the axe in his hand against the second log in the soldier's stupid gaze, and the soldier finally came to his senses, screaming while holding his spear upside down, and tried to stab Wang Yue from above, but because of the height of the bridge, he could not reach him at all.

At the same time, Wang Yue cut off the second one.

There was chaos on the bridge, and then a dozen soldiers poked their heads out, cursed angrily, and stabbed Wang Yue in vain with weapons such as spears.

Others simply threw it as a javelin.

But it's still meaningless.

Because Wang Yue stood in the middle of these logs, these more than 20 logs formed a log array, like a dense forest to protect him, he only needed to stand inside and rely on these logs to protect it, with these things as a shield, let alone throwing javelins, and the bed crossbow couldn't shoot him.

Amid the frightened screams above, Wang Yue continued to slash like a bald head.

Soon the soldiers on the shore joined in, attacking him with their bows and arrows, but in vain, and even cavalry rushed to the shallow water and shot arrows at him below.

But it was no use again.

Not all of these logs are straight up, and some are crossed to prevent them from stretching outward.

This whole is a labyrinth of logs, just like the truss of those modern truss bridges, don't underestimate the bridge-building technology at this time, the ancient version of the truss system has long been very common, there is an iron truss bridge in Kaifeng City, Cai Taishi Bridge is completely made of steel, of course, it is actually built of wrought iron. In the chaotic onlookers on and off the bridge, Wang Yue cut off the fifth one in this way, and at the moment when this one was cut off, the bridge body above his head suddenly made a strange sound, Wang Yue looked up in amazement, because the force was seriously changed, a piece of wood finally broke free from the shackles of mortise and tenon and nails, and fell off the figure-eight brace.

"Run, the bridge has collapsed!"

Screams rang out overhead.

The Khitan soldiers who were watching scattered in an instant.

But at the same time, Xiao Fu's face appeared in the crowd on the shore......

"What do you want to do?"

He screamed like madness.

Although he didn't actually see who it was, he still guessed it in his heart.

"Can't you see it yourself?"

Wang Yue poked his head out and said.

Suddenly, a sharp arrow broke through the air.

He retracted instantly.

"The surname Wang, if you have the ability, you come out, let's fight in a dignified manner!"

Xiao Fu shouted.

"The defeated generals still have the face to say this!"

Wang Yue said disdainfully.

As he spoke, he cut off the fifth one, and at this time the entire bridge was obviously twisted, and almost all the logs were connected with a sound of intent to break free, and then a few more logs could not hold up the deformation and fell, causing splashes in the river.

"Girl, how did you get here?"

Xiao Fu suddenly exclaimed.

"Huh?"

Wang Yue hurriedly poked his head out.

The next moment, two sounds of breaking the air sounded at the same time.

But he retracted in an instant......

"You liar, you actually deceive your own sister!"

He said disdainfully at the sound of arrows hitting logs.

But if Xiao Ta doesn't appear at this moment, then should he continue......

Phew, of course it's going to continue!

"Quick, get in the water!"

Xiao Fu shouted.

Dozens of Liao soldiers who could swim immediately went into the water and swam towards Wang Yue.

But at this moment, Wang Yue cut two logs in a row, and the bridge above his head almost completely flipped downward.

The two soldiers in front had just swam to the pier when five logs fell in succession on top of their heads, and the two men screamed and were smashed into the water, and those behind were so frightened that they turned around. But Wang Yue was still safe, because he hadn't collapsed at all, and even if it did, the logs around him would still protect him, and the thing was buried deep in the ship-shaped foundation below, and the rest was still firmly pointed above his head after he cut it.

This guy just looked at Xiao Fu on the shore proudly through the fallen logs.

"Hurry up and report to Da Shi Linya, this dog thief, I am inseparable from you!"

Xiao Fu roared angrily.

Of course, he knew the consequences of the bridge being broken, and he and Yelu Dashi were still a little puzzled before, why Wang Yue didn't make a move at the bridgehead, you must know that if this guy made a move, they might not be able to break through the bridge.

Now I know that this bastard wants to catch turtles in an urn!

Then Wang Yue cut off another one, and the entire bridge body composed of logs above his head was completely disintegrated in the sound of disintegration, and countless logs poured down like a torrential rain, burying Wang Yue in an instant.

"Brothers of the Han army in Daliao, the Khitan cavalry can escape to the north bank, how do you cross this white ditch? Go and surrender to Master Tong, there is a reward waiting for you! ”

But Wang Yue roared excitedly inside.

The Han infantry on the shore who participated in the battle were all dumbfounded, and they looked at each other one by one......

(Preview, Wang Dutou will open the rampage mode)
