Sweep the World

Chapter 592: : Battle plan aborted

There is no doubt that the Han army definitely wants to cross the river, but we have to talk about climate change.

In recent years, winter has started earlier and spring has opened late. Xiliang is a place where snow will fall all year round. In some years, the snow is still very heavy. This year’s Xiliang is a blizzard, and the opening of spring has been delayed by nearly half. Months.

The west of Xiliang is not only the Western Regions, but also depends on where the source of the Yellow River is. The source of the Yellow River is actually on the plateau, and it will snow if not talking about the plateau. The water of the Yellow River itself comes from icebergs. Imagine where the water collects after the ice and snow melt, and then think about the collected water. Where will it go, and at the same time thinking about the changes in the weather, you can probably find out what embarrassing situation the Han army is in.

That’s not wrong. The time of melting of ice and snow varies from place to place.

When Xiliang began to thaw, the plateau was still white. Waiting for the ice and snow on Xiliang to melt and the ground was dried out again. The snow on the plateau entered the melting stage, and then the icebergs began to melt water, and the Yellow River. The upstream immediately entered the flood period.

The water not only flows to low places, but is actually affected by an effect of the earth's magnetic field. What stage of the year is the flood period and when the water flow is gentle? In fact, there are so many things involved that are staggering.

All in all, because of the large amount of water from the upper reaches of the Yellow River, not only has the river water risen, but also some originally peaceful river sections have become abnormally turbulent. Want to build a floating bridge in this situation? With the convenience of the U.S. military's machinery during World War II, or the conditions of modern technology, it may not be possible to do it, let alone 338 AD!

The Yellow River became unable to swim, and it was a wishful thinking to want to build a bridge. Xie An’s plan to cross the river to attack Jinxing County and Guangwu County was bankrupt before it was implemented. Some troops sent earlier left behind necessary spies. Most of them were diverted to Heshuo, and the large troops crossed the river without even thinking about it.

Song Qin would be surprised, but it was because he had discovered that a warship of the Han army appeared in this section of the river. It only appeared suddenly and then disappeared without a trace.

"Han army warship?" Zhang Zuo had to pay attention: "What style and how many?"

"At the end of the day, I saw seven ships, not belonging to the building, so I can’t tell you what style they are." Song Qin briefly described it, having never been in contact with the navy, and then emphasized: "That kind of warship is not small. , With at least two bed crossbows."

Of course, the Yellow River is capable of navigating ships. What Zhang Zuo was nervous about was how the warships of the Han army would appear around Jincheng.

It is necessary to understand deeply that the current Yellow River is not the kind of Yellow River that has been combed repeatedly in later generations. It does not mean that a ship can go straight from the East Sea on all the way. Certain sections of the river are actually unable to provide boat navigation.

Zhang Tianxi, who arrived later, knew the news and asked the key: "Has the Han army tried to land on the north shore?"

"As far as the end general knows, yes no." Song Qin didn't dare to say too hard: "If the end general doesn't know, then I really don't know."

Zhang Tianxi looked at Zhang Zuo and said, "I have to guard against it."

Without much hesitation, Zhang Zuo directly ordered a soldier next to him: "Feng Xiao, take the troops and horses of his troops to patrol the upper reaches."

A middle-aged man with the word Fengxiao, he saluted "Promise!" and ran out.

Zhang Zuo really didn’t dare to be careless, especially when it came to the navy, he felt that he should be up to 120,000 points. It was all because he had seen information about the huge Han fleet more than once. It seemed that You can always appear on the battlefield where you need it when you need it.

So many countries have been attacked by the Han army’s haunting fleets. Zhang Zuo doesn’t want to be the next one. He really knows that there are too many water nets in Murong Yanguo. The newly appointed Murong Jun is to prevent the Han army from using water nets. But I broke my heart.

On the north bank of the Yellow River, Zhang's Liang army kept coming, and Xie An was of course always focused. He got the exact answer. Before the flood season of the Yellow River had passed, the army did not even think about crossing the river, so it refocused most of its attention on Jincheng.

Jincheng is indeed a strong city, even if the Han army pulled out the outer acropolis, but there is still no tricky method for Jincheng.

"The timber-structured canals have been completely destroyed, but there is no good way for those canals made of large stones." There is a very obvious bad luck on Zhong Xing's face: "People can't move, and the effect of stone bullets is not great. , Or just poison it."

Poisoned? If you want to poison tens of thousands of people in a city, how much poison should you use? It can be seen that Zhong Xing is really depressed. Women don't cry

"It seems feasible." Yuan Qiao ignored Zhong Xing who was a little stupid, and said with a smile: "Of course it can't kill many people, but it can intimidate the defenders."

Zhong Xing laughed a few times "hehe", and said, "It's better to just bury the water."

Xie An nodded, "It makes sense."

Zhong Xing was stunned again immediately.

Jincheng has built a canal to connect to the Yellow River. In fact, the current Yellow River water is not yellow at all. It should be said that the current Yellow River water is so clear that you can see the fish and shrimps in it, and you can drink it directly.

The water canal connecting the city to the river is necessary to provide people in the whole city for drinking. It is conceivable that the water canal is definitely not a small one. It can be used as a water delivery canal, and it is also built on the side of the turbulent Yellow River. The water flow inside can not be stable. Furthermore, the width of the canal is at least four feet. If you want to dig soil to intercept the water flow, the amount of work does not seem to be small?

"Yes, cut off the water and stop the flow." Yuan Qiao touched the beard of his chin: "A city of tens of thousands of people, the daily water consumption must be measured in huge amounts, if the water supply outside the city is cut off, the water well in the city will definitely make it short of water. ."

Regardless of what kind of project it is, as long as an army wants to do it, no matter how big a project is, it is nothing to the army.

Xie An didn't want to spend too much effort on Jincheng before. What he wanted was to slowly clean up after being surrounded. The main thing was to think about whether Jincheng could be besieged. Duhe used the advantage of the cavalry to directly attack Guzang and attack Guzang. Zang then destroyed Zhang's goal of Liang Kingdom.

No, for at least one or two months, the army should not even think about crossing the river. The north bank of the Yellow River is also constantly gathered by Zhang’s Liang army. A good strategy for crossing the river can only stay on paper, waiting for the central government’s reply regarding the transfer of Rouran. Before the mountain troops responded, it was time to turn their heads and compete with the Jincheng defenders.

A trailing "newspaper" was roared out of the tent, and someone reported to the Chinese army's big tent that the banners of Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi had been found on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Important people will have their own generals, not only to show their identity, but also to boost morale, so that the names of the generals can be followed.

In the direction pointed by the banner of the famous general, the soldiers under his command will surely attack.

The military commander's Shuaiqi can even play a role in setting the sea god's needle. In times of crisis, as long as the Shuaiqi is not chaotic, the military spirit can actually be stabilized.

Xie An cleaned up and stood up first: "You can take a look."

The army camp of the Han army was on the east side of Jincheng, and it was actually about ten miles away from the Yellow River. During the period, it had to bypass the Jincheng wall.

"Premier, the banner of the Han army chief appeared near the city defense!" Suofu has been reused recently, and immediately found Zhang Chong when he discovered the situation: "As soon as the general and the middle leader arrive, if the Han will be by the Yellow River, it is better to..."

The banners of Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi appeared on the north bank of the Yellow River, and they were actually discovered here in Jincheng. There was a cheering voice in Chengtou city long ago.

Zhang Chong came to the north of the city to watch in person. Because of the arrival of Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi, his earlier urgency was slightly relaxed.

"Yes, a great opportunity!" Yi Yi took Suofe's words and said, "Why don't you send troops out of the city to intercept and kill?"

The banner of the chief general of the Han army is actually very easy to recognize. There is a big "Chinese" in black on a red background, and the official position will be written on the side of the flag. Therefore, he should be a Chinese general who is qualified to hold the flag, and he can tell how old he is from the characters written on the surface of the flag.

Zhang Chong narrowed his eyes, and said unhurriedly: "There are only less than five hundred soldiers in the Han army."

"That's exactly what happened, so I changed out of the city to intercept and kill!" Suofu didn't go to tell Yi and yelled very urgently: "A great opportunity!"

"The leader of the army, there are many entourages, and it is unreasonable to bring only five hundred guards." Zhang Chong's mouth twitched, as if mocking: "This kind of trick is to set up an ambush to lure our army out of the city."

Suofu was stunned.

Yi Yi began to watch his nose and his heart.

"But..." Zhang Chong came and said, "The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall. Striving for small gains and forgetting the big things, Xie An uses his body as a bait, and the prefect can do it for him." Qin Shi Mingyue meets Shiyu

In fact, there is no Zhang Liang army stationed outside of Jincheng. Zhang Liangjun will only go out of the city to fight when necessary. If it is not for some undiscovered tunnels and occasional harassment, it is equivalent to Jincheng actually Has become an isolated city.

Suofu got his wish. He got Zhang Chong and allocated 3,000 cavalry. Although most of them were still from the Western Regions, they were the largest attack by Jincheng in recent times.

A city has more than four city gates. The larger the city, the more gates it actually has. That's because the city wall is too long and the import and export requirements will inevitably increase.

As a major military town, it actually has more gates. Otherwise, there is only one gate in one direction. How slow is it to send troops outside the city? At the same time, if there are regular city gates, there are also some emergency channels for sending troops. Generally, thick iron gates or steel gates are used to block them from the inside, and they will be opened if they are used.

Xie An was riding a horse, hearing the sound of war drums in his ears, and shouting in the direction of Jincheng. Turning his head and looking, he could see the three open gates. Some of the city walls were also opened more than the regular gates. A much smaller hole.

Cavalry continued to spring up in the city. They were walking around the ground where the fortifications could ride on horses. People shouted for killing before they even came out of the fortifications.

Almost at the moment when Jincheng had troops out of the city, the barracks of the Han army was blown by a desolate horn, and cavalry was constantly pouring out of the gate wide open.

On the north bank of the Yellow River, the sound of drums and horns came from far away, and they also saw the movement on the opposite bank from a long distance.

"Premier Zhang has sent his army to the battle." Song Qin was somewhat surprised: "It is the first time that General Zhang has been on the North Bank for nearly half a month to see Prefect Zhang take the initiative to attack."

Zhang Tianxi wondered and said, "Zhang Chong is so greedy for life and fear of death?"

"Is there a strong city?" Zhang Zuo glared at Zhang Tianxi unceremoniously, and asked, "Are you going to give up your geographical advantage and go to field battles with the Han army?"

Zhang Tianxi was not convinced, and pointed to the place where the acropolis was supposed to be there: "The sub-city outside the city was swept by the Han army one after another, but Zhang Chong did nothing."

That's the same thing. The Han army turned the acropolis outside Jincheng into ruins in less than half a month. During this period, Zhang Chong hadn't sent troops to respond, only withdrew. The troops guarding the city have reduced casualties, and it seems that it is not unreasonable to say that it is fear of war.

"That..." Song Qin felt it necessary to talk about his own experience: "It seems that Zhang Taishou is not to be blamed? The Han army's siege equipment is extremely sharp, and the bow and crossbow are also extremely strong. Hu Qi, who is known for his speed, is still inaccessible. Most of the army is pawns..."

Zhang Tianxi sneered, and said gloomily: "Brother came, but he is brave? But he didn't take the soldier's life."

Compared to Zhang Tianxi, who seems to be upset, Zhang Zuo is cheerful.

In fact, Zhang Chong is not a member of Zhang Zuo's faction, nor is he a member of Zhang Tianxi. Seriously, Zhang Chong is a royalist faction. Whoever is the King of Liang will take orders. When Zhang Chonghua was there, Zhang Chong was of course obedient to Zhang Chonghua, the well-known Liang Wang. Waiting for Zhang Chonghua to be captured, and then Zhang Zuo became the representative of Zhang Zuo’s right to speak, and Zhang Chong continued to act according to Zhang Zuo’s orders. Then Zhang Tianxi would think that Zhang Chong had taken refuge in Zhang Zuo.

"This..." Song Qin is not someone~www.wuxiamtl.com~ and can only whispered, "Isn't there a winner yet..."

Suofu led his army out of the city. They hadn't been two miles away from Xie An and other generals. They just ran into the Han cavalry who came to the battle after they left the field fortification circle of the city.

The battle site is near the Jincheng field fortification circle. When two cavalry are fighting, there are still bold people who want to help their allies, but they dare not run out of the fortification at all, just holding the bow and crossbow. Take that cold shot.

"Call for a strong crossbow." Xie An frowned, "cover it."

Zhang Chong sent troops to fight in order to express to Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi, who had just arrived, that Jincheng's morale was guaranteed and he was not afraid to fight the Han army.

Xie An came over to see Zhang Zuo and others across the river. One was to observe the coming Zhang Liangjun, and the other was with the intention of demonstrating to them.

A battle that showed morale and power of the army quickly became bigger and bigger. As the Han army organized its arrow formation on a large scale, the more Han army was deployed to approach Jincheng. For a time, people wondered whether the Han army wanted Formally siege the city. 74
