Chapter 402 Crossing the river! 【Ask for monthly ticket】
"General, do you want to shoot two shots at the other side?"
Cao Xing used a telescope to measure the distance, and then raised his thumb to estimate. The opponent's camp was just within the range of the artillery. If a salvo fired at this moment, it would definitely cause chaos to the enemy.
Lu Bu opened a bottle of Coke, took a sip, and then threw it to Cao Xing:
"Keep it for now, and then fire on the opposite side when the pontoon bridge is built, so as not to interfere with the construction of the pontoon bridge... You can take the people to set up camp, and I will go to the real world and transport the pontoon bridge and all the supplies."
The pontoon bridge at Pubanjin has been built, and the left army led by Zhao Yun should have arrived.
At that time, let him and Xun You do their best, while Lu Bu himself will rush to Tongguan and build a pontoon bridge at Fenglingdu to clear the way for the middle army led by Ji Ling and Du Ji.
The Central Route Army had to face very few enemies. It only had to wipe out Hebei County to the north of the Yellow River and south of Zhongtiao Mountain, which is now Ruicheng County.
After the area was cleared, some people were left to garrison. The large group of troops joined Zhao Yun and began to sweep across Pusang County and Guan Yu's hometown of Jie County.
Lu Bu continued on his way to Shaanxi County to build a third pontoon bridge there.
Lu Bu and Gao Shun would personally lead their troops across the river, then cross the relatively flat gap in Zhongtiao Mountain, penetrate directly into the hinterland of Hedong County, and attack Anyi with thunderous means.
Anyi is the seat of Hedong County. As long as it is captured, the entire Hedong County will be quickly wiped out.
As for the governor Wang Yi, he will naturally be escorted to Chang'an for trial... You have been given many opportunities to surrender, but you have been stubbornly resisting. Tian Feng can only be punished.
Lu Bu came to the real world without making any stops. He drove a forklift and transported a stack of pontoon boards to the book world.
The first time he saw a forklift, Cao Xing fell in love immediately:
"General, can this thing be used in battle?"
"Yes, but the speed is too slow. If you want to rush into the battle, an excavator is better. The shovel head is straightened and rotated, killing and injuring many people. It is easier to use than a forklift."
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he pointed at these boards and said:
"There are instructions on the side. You try to put them together first. This pile can be put together into a whole piece."
When Cao Xing heard this, he immediately remembered the Lego blocks he played with a few days ago and asked excitedly:
"What about after you finish putting it together? Just throw it into the water?"
"Your brain was eaten by Wei Xu? Wouldn't it float away if you threw it into the water? Put it all together and put it by the water, wait for me to get the assault boat over, and then put it back together in the river."
Each stack of bridge boards can be assembled into a long board of about eight meters, with a buoyancy tank fixed underneath.
After placing it in the water, put it together piece by piece and tighten it with thicker and longer screws. A super-hard steel bar will be worn on both sides to fix it to resist the impact of water flow.
In the future, when Hadong County is taken over, both ends of the pontoon bridge will be specially covered with concrete, and a bridge plate that can move up and down will be connected to each other, so that the pontoon bridge will automatically rise or fall with the water level.
Except for the flood season and the wandering season, which need to be temporarily dismantled, the rest of the time can be fixed in the Yellow River for a long time.
With the pontoon bridge, the salt and iron from Hedong County can be continuously transported to Chang'an to support the Guanzhong Plain, and can also be sent to Luoyang to support the war in the Central Plains.
However, the salt production in Hedong County is still too small. When Liu Xie is older in two years, Lu Bu will be asked to look for the famous salt lakes on the plateau, drive the eight wheels of the excavator, and go through the real world to Chang'an. Thousands of tons.
By the way, give some to other worlds, so that you don't have to buy salt from the real world, and you can also have one more way to control the economy.
Salt and iron have always been a material that was strictly controlled by ancient society, so there were yamen specializing in salt and iron.
Solving this problem once and for all now will be of great help to the stability of the court.
After Li Yu learned about the progress of each world in front of the statue, he returned to the B\u0026B hand in hand with Diao Chan, and happened to meet Lu Bu transporting materials for building a pontoon bridge.
"Brother Xian, I have arrived at Kasakajin, and there are enemy troops guarding the opposite side."
Li Yu said:
"I just watched it. You just take this opportunity to practice landing on the beach... After the assault boat is transported over, you can drive it in the water to get used to it. Once you are familiar with it, you can start setting it up."
"Don't worry, I just tied pendants on all the assault boats."
With the blessing of a lucky cat, there will never be any danger during the construction process.
All the supplies were packed into a format that was convenient for forklift loading and unloading. Li Yu couldn't help, so he and Diao Chan went upstairs. One of them taught himself high school knowledge, and the other sat in front of the computer and placed an order for a batch of computer chairs for Sun Facai.
In addition to the computer chair, I also bought a set of sofas suitable for pregnant women to sit and lie down on. As for various supplements during pregnancy, they were all arranged.
Lu Bu transported all the supplies, put the assault boat into the water, filled it with gasoline, then started it, pulling Cao Xing with him, and turned around twice in the water.
Cao Xing looked at it for a while, and after groping it for a while, he started to drive another boat around in the Yellow River.
This movement attracted the defenders on the other side. Many people stretched their necks to look. They had never seen a ship that could run so fast in the water.
Not long after, a dozen specially selected soldiers from the imperial army learned how to operate the assault boat.
Seeing that the soldiers on the other side were waiting in full formation, Lu Bu deliberately approached the other side and fired for a while. This was not only a provocation, but also consumed the other side's attention.
One burst of strength, then another failure, three times exhaustion... Since it is recorded in the Art of War, as a hussar general, we naturally have to use it skillfully.
While everyone was practicing the assault boat, Lu Bu drove the forklift back to the real world and transported away several cement piles.
He asked people to drive two cement piles on the shore to fix the pontoon.
Now everything is ready, but Zhao Yun hasn't arrived yet, so we can't build a bridge for the time being and have to wait.
Once Zhao Yun arrived, he would bombard, build bridges, and seize the beach in one go. After crossing the river, he would quickly occupy Pusang County while the iron was hot. In this way, the imperial army would have buried a nail in Hedong County.
After Pubanjin crossed the river, King Zuoxian's cavalry would definitely move this way, unconsciously creating a good start for Gao Shun's army on the right.
Standing on the shore, Lu Bu was chewing naan hard, picked up the walkie-talkie and asked Zhao Yun:
"Zilong, where have you been?"
"General Qi, Mr. Gongda and I can arrive tomorrow morning. Is there any fighting?"
"No, just go at the normal speed."
Lu Bu told Cao Xing to guard the camp and drove the forklift back to the real world, preparing to have a dinner.
When he got to the kitchen, Li Yu was sitting in the dining room, watching TV and removing meat from the bones.
As the saying goes, the most delicious thing is meat close to the bones, no matter how you eat it, it’s not enough!
Remove the meat from the big bones and simply add some balsamic vinegar and garlic paste to make a delicious dish.
Unlike braised big bones and sauced big bones, deboned meat can be eaten hot or cold, which is very suitable for summer.
Especially when dipped in balsamic vinegar and garlic paste, even those who have no appetite can still eat half a pound of it.
When Lu Bu saw Li Yu removing bones, he quickly washed his hands and came to help.
But he said that he was helping, and most of the meat he removed was stuffed directly into his mouth.
"Besides this, what else are you going to eat tonight?"
"And pimple soup... When do you plan to cross the river?"
"Zilong will arrive tomorrow morning. I plan to start building the pontoon bridge in the morning, building half of it first, and then building the rest when Zilong comes. They will go directly to the other side and occupy Pusaka County before resting."
Li Yu didn't know anything about the war and didn't express any opinions. He just told Lu Bu that the war must be resolved quickly. The longer the time dragged on, the more miserable the people would be.
Before winter comes, Hedong County must be captured, and the passage between Hedong County and Luoyang must be opened up to alleviate the obstacles for Zhong Yao, who is in charge of Sizhou.
If possible, it is best to persuade Zhang Yang to surrender to the imperial court. In this way, Hanoi County can be captured without bloodshed, and the imperial army can fight hand-to-hand with Yuan Shao of Hebei and Cao Cao of Yanzhou.
When they were fighting in Hanoi County, Huang Zhong was able to leave Hulao Pass and take the opportunity to capture Yingchuan County, the cradle of talents in the Three Kingdoms!
Li Yu reminded:
"The selection of Yingchuan County Governor must be more careful, otherwise we will not be able to suppress the Yingchuan family."
In the past, the Yingchuan family was dominated by the Xun family, but now that the Xun family has all moved to Guanzhong, the title of head of the Yingchuan family will most likely fall to the Chen family, where Chen Qun is located.
I don’t know whether he will choose to fight against the imperial court or obey the imperial court. We can wait and see when the time comes.
The Han Dynasty had been raising scholars for four hundred years, but the gentry kept stabbing the imperial court. They had to speed up the training of the working class, which made the family feel a sense of crisis.
High-end emperors would divide the courtiers into several factions, and then sit on the mountain as a referee and watch the fight between tigers and tigers, making the courtiers exhausted from internal conflicts.
Although Li Yu did not intend to let Liu Xie do this, it was still very necessary to support a class in the court that was opposed to the aristocratic family.
When aristocratic families feel a sense of crisis, they will try their best to prove their loyalty to the emperor.
The way to prove it is naturally to implement benevolent governance and develop people's livelihood and a series of measures.
When dinner started, Lu Bu had already shown off his belly of meat.
He was holding a bowl of pimple soup, added two spoons of chili oil to it, and ate it in small bites. Yuwen Chengdu was very surprised to see:
"With the war coming, Marquis Wen will also be under pressure, right?"
"What my dear brother said is true. When I think of going to war with Hedong County, which has a strong army and has never started a war, I feel nervous. It's a pity that no one shares my worries. I'm ashamed!"
Li Yu:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Yuwen Chengdu has decided to go to the Three Kingdoms, so there is no need for you to sit here and dig around with a hoe, right?
Yuwen Chengdu said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Marquis Wen. I did a tactical deduction with the kid when I had nothing to do. You can definitely win. Don't make it hard to eat. This is not the Marquis Lu Wen that I remember."
"Thank you for your comfort, brother Xian. I feel much better after you said that."
Wu Song came over at the end of the meal, ate about three kilograms of deboned meat with pancakes, and drank a small bowl of pimple soup. Then he drove to the factory, asked for leave from Hao Zhenzhen, and then returned to the B\u0026B. Driving an electric fifth wheel, he pulled away a car full of fruit candies.
Tens of thousands of people traveled long distances, which was a test for ordinary people who had never left home.
So I want to give you fruit candies to replenish your energy and enjoy the beauty of life.
Not long after, Wu Song came back with the empty electric fifth wheel and said with emotion:
"Each person was given two candies. After they ate the candies, they actually knelt down and kowtowed, saying that they had never eaten such delicious candies in their lives and wanted to build a temple to worship Brother Li."
Li Yu waved his hand quickly:
"If you have the time, just let them live a good life. By the way, when you are not busy, you can continue to support the storyteller and tell everyone about Song Jiang's misdeeds of harming the people and taking over the magpie's nest."
Since Chao Gai has abandoned the secret and turned to the light, let's use it to promote propaganda.
At first, Chao Gai might not be willing to do this, but now that the bandits in Liangshan have caused trouble to the people around him and have to leave their homes, he will most likely feel very guilty.
Wu Song said with a smile:
"Chao Gai is indeed very guilty and feels sorry for the people. He also promised everyone that he would change his mind and start a new life."
During this period of fishing, Chao Gai's thoughts have probably changed a lot.
As for Lin Chong, he was actually woken up by Zhang Fei's scolding last time. Coupled with the changes in Liangshan in the past few months, he finally knows what he wants to do.
In the evening, after Li Yu and Professor Zhou finished their exercise, they talked about Water Margin and Yue World:
"I wonder if Laoguan will take down Changzhi in one go after taking Handan."
The Taihang Mountains stretch across the north and south and form the dividing line between Shanxi and Hebei. However, near Handan, there is a long and narrow gap in the Taihang Mountains that leads directly to Changzhi, which is surrounded by mountains.
If we can win it, we will not only get a large area of farmland, but also the coal and iron ore mines in Changzhi.
But in this way, he was face to face with Tian Hu.
Now Xuande and the others are confronting the imperial court, Liangshan, and Daliao. If Tian Hu is added to the team, their own forces may be in danger of being attacked from both sides.
Zhou Ruotong said:
"Wen Huanzhang and Liu Bei must have their own considerations. Let's let them perform on their own first. If they don't work, we will intervene. If they worry about everything, isn't this a layman guiding an expert?"
Li Yu nodded:
"You're right, let them do their best..."
Just as he was talking, Zhou Ruotong turned over and sat on Li Yu:
"Big bad guy, where's the self-reflection letter you promised?"
Li Yu: "..."
Why are you bringing this up again?
He quickly kissed Professor Zhou and then handed in another form of review.
In the world of the Three Kingdoms, at this time, the white fish belly has appeared in the east, and a layer of mist is floating on the Yellow River.
Cao Xing drove an assault boat and quietly reached the other side with a few of his men. He also used a drone to survey the opponent's camp and prepare for the next bombardment.
"Damn it, are they suffering from paranoia? There are actually trenches in the camp."
Cao Xing lowered the drone and counted them carefully. There were four trenches in total. There were many pieces of wood cut into spikes buried in the trenches. Once they fell, they would most likely be penetrated to the core.
However, digging trenches in this way also created obstacles for themselves.
Once a commotion breaks out in the camp, these trenches will be filled by fleeing soldiers.
And riots are the inevitable consequences after shelling.
"Damn it, clearing the pier created conditions for building a pontoon bridge, and digging trenches created obstacles for them to escape. Are the guards here developed by the Secrecy Bureau? Why do they keep sending them?"
Cao Xing felt as if he was playing Landlord with four left in his hand, and the opponent came up and dumped the three of diamonds.
This is a hard gift!
After the investigation was completed, the group of people drove the assault boat and returned silently.
The commander's tent, the soldier's tent, the food and grass storage areas, etc. in the camp have all been explored clearly.
When the bombardment starts later, we need to blow up these places as soon as possible. By the way, we can try Ling Zhen's latest explosive bomb. Finally, after the war, we have to write an evaluation report to give Ling Zhen feedback on the explosion effect.
Back on the shore, Lu Bu looked at the map of the camp and asked Cao Xing:
"How are you going to fight?"
"In the first round, bombard the grain and military tents first, causing fires and destroying the opponent's psychological defense... What do you think, General?"
Lu Bu took a ballpoint pen and drew a circle on the area of grain and grass:
"Are you having trouble with shelling your own food and fodder? Try to avoid it and hit the crowds, especially the soldiers' barracks... You have to remember that the soldiers at the bottom are always the ones most likely to cause riots in the camp. , as long as there is chaos, no matter how effective the troops are, they will become a mess. "
Although decapitation operations and grain strikes are effective, they are not necessary.
After the emergence of cross-era weapons, it is better to spread unlimited fear than to attack limited targets.
As long as they have withstood the bombardment, even if these blind people from the Three Kingdoms who have not been exposed to modern technology escape, they will be like Xianglin's wife, repeating the nightmare over and over again.
Then this fear will spread and form a chain reaction.
Cao Xing secretly kept it in mind and adjusted the target of the first round of attacks, removing the food and grass and replacing it with areas where ordinary soldiers lived.
Soon, breakfast will be ready.
A bowl of broth noodles and a piece of naan per person will make you feel full and nutritious.
When Lu Bu was eating, he did not forget to communicate with Zhao Yun.
At this time, Zhao Yun was already ten miles away, and was ordering the soldiers to slow down, eat and walk, and try to maintain sufficient physical strength.
After Lu Bu and the others finished eating, they began to build the pontoon bridge.
First, fix the first section of the pontoon near the cement pile on the shore, and then use an assault boat to drag the other section of the pontoon into the water with a rope. The people on the first section of the pontoon hold the screws and prepare for docking.
In this way, when Zhao Yun arrived, the pontoon bridge was already half built.
In order to prevent it from being blown away by the current, Lu Bu specially arranged for two assault boats to pull the pontoon in the opposite direction of the current.
After seeing Zhao Zilong with his white horse and silver gun, Lu Bu took the walkie-talkie and gave an order to Cao Xing:
"fire!"
Soon, violent gunshots echoed in the river, and the black cannonballs drew a beautiful parabola and accurately landed on the camp on the other side.
"boom!"
"boom!!!"
"boom!!!!!!!!"
Loud noises were heard one after another, and the soldiers of the Baibo Army were completely stunned. Many people thought it was heaven's punishment and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, without any intention of resisting.
Xun You was riding on his horse, looking at the pontoon bridge that was quickly built, and couldn't help but admire:
"With this thing, the world's great rivers will no longer be hindered!"
This thing is a fool-proof operation, and everyone became more and more comfortable with it. Soon, the pontoon bridge was built on the other side.
At this time, the guard on the other side panicked and found someone to stop him, but it was too late. Zhao Yun took the lead and rushed to the other side along the two-meter-wide pontoon.
When establishing a defense line, he also unfurled his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow into the soldiers in the arrow tower.
Zhang Xiu led his soldiers with swords and shields across the river quickly to maximize the advantage of the beach. However, the soldiers in the opposite camp were in chaos. Many people fell into the trenches they had dug and died.
Lu Bu originally wanted to take a look at the river, but this one-sided scene made him instantly lose interest:
"Gongda, Zilong, you kill them, I'll go to Tongguan first!"
After saying that, he left two assault boats behind for emergency response, and led the remaining assault boats down the river, heading straight to the famous ferry near Tongguan - Fenglingdu!
