Chapter two hundred and ninety sixth spirits(1/2)

Since the changes in the world, people like Pang Tong have already figured out many rules, such as the earlier ones who have military skills, either brave or talented will be outstanding.

So, it is not surprising that Xing Daorong said this.

"However, it may not be possible to say that Lu Xun's second-level military general skill "thunder strike" is better than Shi Yuan's "flame dragon"!"

Xing Daorong smiled and said:

"I guess, although 'lightning strike' is known as 'all-sky', it only covers a wide range and cannot hit every soldier. It should have flashed by, like thunder!"

"The second-level military skill "Yanlong" owned by Shi Yuan can have a lot of time, and he swam three times quickly in a radius of three miles. The lethality may still be above 'thunder and lightning'!"

In fact, in the game "The Legend of the Three Kingdoms II", the lethality of the "Fire Dragon" is indeed above the "lightning strike", and can also cause 8 physical damage to the enemy.

Of course, the "lightning strike" flashed by and quickly killed soldiers, which is not worse than the "Flame Dragon".

However, these are not easy to explain to Pang Tongming, and they can only say them in a "estimated" tone.

Next, Xing Daorong ordered the Jingnan Army to retreat ten miles to set up camp and confront the Jiangdong Army across the river.

After camping and garrisoning troops, the soldiers of Jingnan immediately searched for trees and prepared to cut down to prepare for the construction of the floating bridge.

Tens of thousands of soldiers were moving naturally and neatly. In just two days, they obtained hundreds of trees of appropriate size and thickness, and then they began to cut into wooden boards and trim them one by one.

There are also many sergeants who tie up hemp ropes and coarse cloth to make strong cables.

As early as a month ago, when he learned that Cheng Pu was stationing troops on the other side of the Fu River, Xing Daorong asked Liu Yong to collect hemp ropes and coarse cloth at Xiakou. He also brought them together and made them together.

After about ten days, a simple floating bridge was made.

The whole pontoon bridge is made of newly cut trees, six zhang wide and ten zhang long. Between the wooden boards, they are firmly bound by solid cables, and are very strong.

After the floating bridge was completed, it was naturally built on both sides of the Fu River for the Jingnan Army to pass.

...

How could the Jiangdong Army not know about such a large formation in the Jingnan Army?

On the first day when the Jingnan Army cut down trees everywhere, Cheng Pu received a report. He stood on the shore and watched for a long time. He called the logistics quarantine officer.

"Send people to nearby counties to collect tincture oil as soon as possible. In addition, from today on, we will make every effort to make rockets for use in the army!"

Cheng Pu ordered.

After the quartermaster Ying Nuo retreated, he looked at the Jingnan army on the other side and snorted coldly.

"Want to force a pontoon bridge? When my eyes are blind?"

The Fu River is only six or seven meters wide. Once the Jingnan Army builds a floating bridge, it can naturally pass quickly. But how can Cheng Pu allow it?

As a veteran on the battlefield, he quickly came up with a countermeasure.

Three days later, Lu Xun found Cheng Pu again.

"The old general, the cunning rabbit still has three caves. How can we not be prepared to retreat?"

Lu Xun bowed and said solemnly:

"If Jingnan Army really breaks through the Fuhe River, our army will be in danger!"

"The last general suggested that the Chaisang defenders could be ordered to board the ship and dock on the south bank of Poyang Lake to respond. If the accident is defeated, our army could also enter Poyang Lake in time to avoid Xing Daorong's edge!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Pu first looked at Lu Xun's words unhappily, and then supported his beard and pondered.

After all, he is a veteran who has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, not a young man.

Moreover, Cheng Pu is not a jealous person. On the contrary, in the past, he actually took good care of outstanding juniors.

Therefore, although he was a little disgusted, he was also a little moved.

No matter what, Lu Xun's words "The cunning rabbit still has three holes" reminded him.

"Well!"

After thinking for a while, Cheng Pu nodded and said:

"Bo Yan's words are reasonable, so it's better to prepare more ways out!"

So, Cheng Pu wrote a letter and ordered the soldiers to take them to Chaisang and handed them over to the navy commander there, and ordered him to sail the more than a hundred large ships specially prepared to the south bank of Poyang Lake and wait for the reception at any time.

Perhaps it was influenced by Lu Xun, Cheng Pu was often restless in the next few days and came to the shore to patrol from time to time.

The fortifications on the shore are quite perfect.

Along the river bank, the Jiangdong Army built a stone wall that was dozens of miles long and more than meter high. Behind the stone wall were archers.

This was the result of more than a month when Cheng Pu ordered the soldiers to rush to work, which increased the difficulty of the enemy's crossing the river.

Nowadays, behind the stone wall, there are a large amount of tincture oil that can be burned in the water and many rockets. I think it is impossible for the Jingnan Army to forcibly build a floating bridge.

After many inspections, Cheng Pu realized that everything was foolproof and his mind gradually stabilized.

On this day, a soldier suddenly came to report that the Jingnan army was gathering towards the river. Judging from its appearance, it was very planned to cross the river!

Cheng Pu quickly gathered the generals and came to the direction of the Jingnan army gathering, and looked at it carefully.

But I saw that the 70,000 Jingnan Army on the other side had been fully lined up and divided into more than ten teams, each with thousands of armored soldiers.

Among them, there were several sergeants in the queue, all holding bows and arrows.

These archers are very unique. Their whole body is covered with armor, and even their faces are covered by iron helmets, revealing only a pair of eyes.

More than ten teams, the first team, were Xing Daorong and his personal guard "Tiangang Axe Guard"!

In addition, at the forefront, a huge floating bridge that was more than ten feet long and six feet wide was laid on the ground, and many Jingnan soldiers were holding wooden barrels in hand and watering the floating bridge.

Cheng Pu knew it at a glance, and was guarding against his own fire.

"snort!"

Cheng Pu sneered and said intimately:

"I was prepared for a long time, so what if I was soaked in water? Can it block the burning of tinder oil?"

"Give orders!"

Called the army's messenger, Cheng Pu shouted:

"Every general is in his place and prepare to deal with the enemy's attack!"

"Here!"

More than a dozen commanders ran around to convey Cheng Pu's orders.

On the other side.

"pity!"

Xing Daorong said to Pang Tong:

"If there is a catapult, you will be more confident when crossing the river!"

“It’s useless!”

Pang Tong smiled and said:

"There are many brave people in the army, with a range of 200 feet, which is far better than a catapult. If a rocket car is carrying tinder oil to shoot, it will not take long to destroy a catapult car made with hard work!"

Xing Daorong nodded and did not continue to speak.

In a normal world, catapults are a powerful weapon for siege, but in this world it may not be.

In this world, there are too many generals in the army with a force of more than 500 kilograms, and the arrows are extremely long and it is easy to destroy the catapult car.

However, the catapult cart is very complicated and difficult to make, and it is not as good as shooting an arrow.

Therefore, fighting with a catapult is not cost-effective.

Not long after, the newly made wide pontoon bridge was soaked in water.

A team of thousands of people was densely spread on both sides of the pontoon bridge, with empty hands and thick shields in the other hand, everyone was majestic and powerful.

"Arrow, come forward and shoot!"

Seeing that he was about to stop, Xing Daorong immediately ordered.

Two arrays, more than 10,000 Jingnan archers rushed up together, and when they entered the Jiangdong defenders on the other side, they stopped and then led their bows to shoot arrows.

In an instant, thousands of arrows flew together, and countless arrows rained towards the opposite shore, and Jiangdong soldiers behind the stone wall covered them.

Of course, while these arrow rains flew out, dense arrow rains flew over the other side, shooting at these archers.

‘Ding Ding Dangdang’

Accompanied by countless sounds of breaking through the air in the sky, the dense impact of more than ten thousand Jingnan troops sounded like rain hitting banana leaves.

However, it was the Jiangdong Army's arrows shooting on the armor covering the whole body, making countless collision sounds.

In this way, across the Fu River, arrows and rains across the sky completely covered the sky. From a distance, it seemed as if dark clouds were pressing down on the top and heavy rain was pouring down!

Back formation.

"Show wine!"

When the archers on both sides shot each other, Xing Daorong shouted loudly.
