Li Jing's headquarters of 67,000 people, taking the Panhai Road, Tu Wanxu six departments of 150,000 people, of which Wei Yunqi, Qu Tutong, and Ashina Danai followed Li Jing closely, because these three departments had too much baggage and were equipped with siege equipment, as for the other three departments to take the Lulong Road, so as not to crowd hundreds of thousands of people in a western Liaoning corridor.

The matter of repairing the bridge was done by Li Jing, so He Chou and Li Chun followed Li Jing.

He Chou had 500 small boats in his hand to build pontoon bridges, and Li Jing also had 500 assault boats for landing.

If the army marches normally, the Panhai Road can pass in five days, but it is not normal at the moment, because the thistle terrestris has not been cleaned up, so that Li Jing has to transfer the three sons of Mai Tiezhu to lead the team to set off in advance and be responsible for clearing the obstacles on the road.

"I really don't know what Wei Yunqi is doing? The army is about to march, there are so many roadblocks, how much time will it be delayed? "Mai Mengcai was like a group of sappers, doing hard work in front of him, constantly complaining.

The second eldest Mai Zhongcai rode aside, and sneered: "Grandpa said that this kind of large army battle is the most difficult to coordinate, this one does not accept that, that one does not accept this, alas. No tricks. ”

The three of them don't have to bend down to pick up thistles, they just sit on the horse and command the dispatch.

The third Mai Jicai said: "This is just the beginning, and I encountered this kind of thing, it's not smooth, this time I hit Liaodong City, I think, it's not easy to fight." ”

At this time, Li Jing's personal guards in the rear rushed to urge the three of them to speed up, and the rear army was already impatient.

The Mai brothers glanced at each other, helpless, but dismounted and personally participated in clearing the roadblocks.

After five days, nine days of walking, Li Jingbu arrived at Tongding Town, which belonged to Liaodong County.

There are garrisons in this military town, but there are not many, only 800 people, and the full number is 1,500 people, and those who are short are dead.

After all, this is the front line of the Great Sui against Goguryeo, and some conflicts will break out between the two sides in three days, although they are deliberately suppressing it so as not to expand the situation, but the death of people is very common.

The general of Tongding Military Town, called Zhu Man, a native of Hebei, half of his soldiers are Su Mo Jin Ya people, these Hu people are not able to survive in the north, defected over, were incorporated into the military government, given the field, and sold their lives.

As soon as Li Jing arrived in Tongding Town, he called Zhu Man over for questioning.

"A seaside road, so many barricades, how do you guard this gateway?"

Zhu Man explained with a bitter face: "Liaodong City's big model Dazhong Murowei crossed the river with more than 10,000 people, and we only dared to hold on, not out of the city, but the last general sent scouts to inform the head of Zhuojun Wei as soon as possible, and the palindrome he got was that Deng Taishou and Yang Taishou of Liucheng County had also been sending people to clean up the barricades, but as soon as we finished cleaning it up, there were people coming over there. ”

"Where's Deng Wei?" Li Jing asked.

Zhu Man replied: "I am leading people to survey the river situation, and I should be back soon." ”

Deng Wei is a southerner, he used to be the assassin of the old Chen, and he surrendered to the Great Sui when the Sui destroyed Chen, and then he has been staying in the bitter cold land of Xinjiang here, which is normal, and the good place has long been divided up by the Guanzhong people.

The water map of the Liao River in He Chou's hand was drawn with the help of Deng Wei.

After a while, Deng Wei, who was in charge of Liaodong County and Yan County, came back, and as soon as he came in, he sighed:

"On the other side of Liaoshui, the enemy army has already arranged six camps, and the best time to build a bridge has been missed."

He Chou and Li Chun glanced at each other, both feeling helpless.

It's not that the two of them don't know when it's best to build a pontoon bridge, but it's a pity that they are just craftsmen and can't dispatch a large army, and the emperor wants a large army to go together, so that everything on the other side is ready.

Li Jing will not be annoyed because he missed the opportunity, because that is already in the past, and what he has to consider now is how to successfully build a pontoon bridge under the strict defense of the other side.

"Is it feasible to build a bridge at night?" Li Jing looked at He Choudao.

He Hou shook his head: "You can't see things at night, the river is cold, and the soldiers can't float for a long time. ”

To build a pontoon bridge, it is necessary for soldiers who are well versed in water to jump into the river to reinforce it, and they will hold on to the edge of the boat, and implicate the boat with ropes to ensure that the hull of the boat is stable and not floating, and at night, the river is too cold to carry it.

A pontoon bridge is connected by two sides of a small boat, with wooden planks erected on it for marching, and the boat also needs to be pressed by heavy objects to ensure that it is not swept away by the current.

This is in an emergency, and when the river is successfully crossed, the ropes will be pulled up on both banks and driven into the wedges to completely stabilize the pontoon bridge and ensure its long-term use.

Now that the camp on the opposite bank has been built, it is clear that he wants to do a big job when the Sui army crosses the river, Li Jing is unwilling to wear too much during the river crossing, so he asks if he can build a bridge at night.

After getting a negative answer, Li Jing pondered for a moment and said:

"Mr. Xin is stationed outside Tongding Town, and the Mai Chief's Department will rest for a day, and a pontoon bridge will be set up tomorrow."

The two received their respective orders.

Among them, under the command of Xin Shixiong, 4,500 people from the top three of the infantry had to be transferred, that is, Yang Wanshi's department, to be included in He Chou's bridge-building troops, and the dismantled hull would also be assembled today and launched early tomorrow morning.

As a pioneer of crossing the river, Xue Zuo's task today is to eat and drink well and sleep well, and tomorrow is the time for them to charge.

Wei Yunqi, Qu Tutong, and Ashina Danaibu, who also took the Near Sea Road, were stationed in three military formations in Liaoxi, Luhe, and Huaiyuan respectively to build camps.

The next day, the sky was just dawning.

Yang Wanshi had already commanded the guards to push the boats into the river, each boat, there were six people, the division of labor was different, there were ropes in the bow and stern, and two were responsible for manipulating the boats into the established position.

Each ship has a number and its own fixed position, and the rest of the ship is a wrestler, who is responsible for pulling the neighboring ships closer together and pressing them closer.

Because the pontoon bridge will be carried by war horses in the future, and the chariots will be heavy, so it must be next to the boat, so that it can be stable, if it is only for pedestrians, there is a distance between each boat, and it does not need to be so dense.

Two pontoon bridges, separated by five miles, one 1,100 meters long and the other 1,000 meters long.

In other words, it is very safe in the early stage of construction, because the opposite bank cannot reach you, but at the beginning of the last 200 meters, it will be very dangerous, because the effective projection distance of the catapult is 200 meters.

Because the pontoon bridge does not pull ropes on both banks, as it gets longer and longer, it will swing with the current, and the manoeuvre on the boat will not control it well and will deviate.

He Chou was frightened when he watched from the shore, he originally planned to allocate more than 200 small boats, but later a decree came from above, His Majesty's imperial chariot and hundreds of officials and their families should also pass from here, in order to be stable, he asked the Ministry of Civil Affairs to transfer more than 300 small boats.

It's so hanging, He Chou wiped the cold sweat on his head, thinking that the prince was really prescient, and reminded himself many times that he must pay attention to the length of the pontoon, and it was true.

The Liao River is turbulent, and the pontoon bridge has taken on a serpentine shape, and it can no longer be reversed, if it were not for the need for three hundred more boats, this time it would not be enough.

This is the ship responsible for building the pontoon bridge, and in addition, there are 500 landing boats, which is not in the hands of Ho Chou.

As noon approached, more than half of the pontoon bridge was erected.

As soon as the next day arrived, the drums on the other side sounded, and one after another boulders were thrown into the air, drawing a parabola and throwing towards the pontoon bridge.

As long as it is hit, the whole boat will break into several pieces, and on both sides of the pontoon, dozens of small boats are constantly being mended under the manipulation of the guards.

The generals on the shore, a heart has already risen to the throat.

Before the evening, the pontoon bridge could not be built, but it was not easy to do.

Li Jing immediately ordered Liu Jun, a general under Xue Zuo's command, to land with 200 small boats.

For a time, the dense dinghy was launched, and ten people in a boat rowed desperately towards the opposite shore, and this group of people was basically a death squad, and their task was to buy time for the bridge-building troops.

Whether it is a catapult or a bow and arrow, the lethality of the assault boat is not great, first, the target is too small, and it is moving at high speed, and secondly, there is a platoon in front of the boat, and there is a large shield made of refined steel on top of it.

Their greatest danger is that after landing, it is a hand-to-hand battle, the number is not superior, and it is scattered.

Before the assault boat docked, the enemy troops on the opposite side had already stabbed them with spears, but they were surprised to find that their spears could not stab people.

On the shore, dense spears clanged like the thorns of a porcupine's body, stabbing on a large shield wrapped in cowhide.

The cowhide was pierced, but the shield was nothing.

Under Xue Zuo's command, there are only two troops, the platoon and the bow team, and the bow team hides behind the butt to release cold arrows.

As the two armies approached, the two sides began to shoot at each other, and here were clusters of armor-piercing arrows, a ruthless batch, and Goguryeo's originally extremely solid coastal defense line was shot down like this.

Goguryeo's side was dumbfounded

Fortunately, the military formation did not panic, and the enemy general hurriedly adjusted the formation, withdrew the spearmen, and put the shield soldiers in front.

As more and more Sui troops landed, the two sides fell into a situation of hand-to-hand combat.

Here, Li Jing and the others were also very relieved to find that the landing force was so smooth.

Yang Wanshi sighed: "The prince has the help of heaven, bless me as a pioneer, if it weren't for this refined steel, Liu Jun's army would not have landed so easily, so that the morale will soar, and the river will be crossed tonight." ”

Xue Zuo was also very excited, originally he was appointed as the pioneer of crossing the river, and he was ready to die for a lifetime, and the family was settled, just waiting for his son to be filial and honest after he died in battle.

Right now, I don't think I'm going to die.

Seeing that the landing pioneers, although the number is very small, they have already gained a firm foothold, and the pontoon bridge is also rapidly building the last section.

Li Jing's eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice: "Pass my general order, the pioneer crosses the river!" ”

"The last general commands!" Xue Zuo replied loudly, and then ordered the flag officers around him to give orders to each army, and two moments later, the vanguard army crossed the river.

A herald general, holding a command flag, rode his horse to the various armies to deliver orders.

When the time came, the two pontoon bridges sent troops at the same time, two people in a row, stepped on the pontoon bridge, and trotted towards the opposite bank.

Xue Zuo himself, holding a shield in his left hand and a spear in his right hand, wearing Mingguang armor, boarded the pontoon bridge under the escort of twenty guards around him.

The battle of crossing the river began.
