Chapter 41 Grams

In the middle of the night, the Mianji River surged, and the camps clearly located on high places were also destroyed by the flood. Have the soldiers lost? How much did they lose? Although there was moonlight at night, the Mianji River was dark and could not see anything clearly. The only thing they could do was to temporarily place the soldiers on the mountain, try to meet with the other two divisions, and at the same time notify the Xi army and Xincai army stationed in Yuanwu Mountain, telling them that the Qin people might attack at dawn.

"Grand Commander's Destiny." Lu Chui, on the hillside, looked at the dark Mian River at the foot of the mountain and prayed devoutly. The army's Sima, the chief of the soldiers, the soldiers around him also prayed in the name of the Grand Commander's Destiny. Lu Gao remained silent and slept until midnight and was washed by water. This was not his dereliction of duty, but he still felt embarrassed. Why didn't he expect the Qin people to attack each other with water?

"Fire..." Climbing to the top of the mountain, several large fires lit up in the ancient Daoyi thirty miles north, and the fire illuminated the Que Tower and the city walls.

"What do the Qin people want?" Cai Zhi, the general of Cai, stood on the mountain, and the Cai army's camp was washed away by the flood. He had just arrived here.

"The Qin people attacked me." In addition to Cai Zhi, the general Gui Que, who was standing here. The two divisions and one brigade, the generals of the division and brigade had gathered together. Some of the soldiers were still exploring the rescue of military supplies and artillery in the water, and some had settled on the mountain.

"Qin people..." Lu Gao looked at the firelight thirty miles away and was puzzled. He was puzzled, while others wanted to know the judgment of his think tank. Cai Zhi asked, "What do you think?"

"If you attack me, you will bury the pot and make rice, why do you have to make this big fire?" Lu Gao said, "or send a message to Yongcheng."

"Transmission to Yongcheng?" The people followed Lu Gao's thoughts and Cai Sima Cai Huai guessed: "Is this telling the Qin people in Yongcheng to quickly increase their troops to attack me?"

Qi Sima Songji also said, "This should be a message from Qin people, but I don't know what news is? Meng Tian's army has tens of thousands of troops, with far more troops than me. Why wait for reinforcements to attack me?"

Before the Feixun, the army sent messages in the daytime with wolf smoke and at night with fire. At this time, when they saw a fire ignited in the old Daoyi, the first thing that everyone thought of was the message, and they completely forgot the lighthouse outside Zhufang Port that stretched to Panyu Port.

Shimen Pass is about eighteen miles away from Gudaoyi, about thirty miles away from the Chu army camp, and less than 150 miles away from the Tianchi Daze. There are several canyons below Gudaoyi, which can only pass during the day. In order to save as much time as possible, the Qin army's embankment was destroyed and the Qin army's warships went south before dawn.

When everyone was watching the fire, the first four three-oiled warships that opened the way had already passed by the old road. Behind the three-oiled warship was Zhao Ying's five-oiled flagship Keli. Behind the Keli were giant shadows that could not be seen at a glance. These giant shadows approached the old road, which shocked the Qin soldiers on the shore.

"Warship boat? Our army's war boat?!" Qi Xi did not sleep all night. Hearing the exclaims of the soldiers outside the tent, he quickly left the tent. At this time, the Kesi was falling from Shiding. The 45-meter-long boat was more than all the boats of the Chu army. The six-meter-high freeboard and the giant square sail spread on the deck, such a huge thing floating on the Mian River was daunting.

"This is, this is..." Qi Brown's throat was dry, she wanted to ask but didn't know what to ask.

It was coming to a lunar calendar, and it was about to dawn in a while. Meng Tian had already gotten up and came out of the tent, and greeted him personally by the water. Qi Xi's stuttering made him laugh, and he shouted: "This is the boat master of Daqin."

"The boat army of Daqin..." Qi Bifa was stunned and was disbelief, and then excited: "The Jing people have a boat army, which makes our army afraid of water like a tiger. Now our army also has a boat army, so the Jing people will undoubtedly be defeated."

When I saw the giant ship of the army's siege, the generals and soldiers present naturally came up with this idea like Qi Hei. The Jing people were terrible, but what was terrible in the Jing people? The soldiers would definitely say that they were witchcraft. The witchcraft was invincible, and there were countless comrades who died under the witchcraft;

If it is a general, the general will definitely be said to be a giant iron and a spear formation. The giant iron casts a weapon, and the spear formation gathers a spear to fight, and the attack is difficult to stop, and the defenders are difficult to break. Force the Qin army to abandon copper and use iron, and force the Qin army to use chief spears instead. What's even more, the Jing people wearing two dig armors are difficult to be killed. No matter how the enemy fights, it is impossible to kill them. The two armies face each other, which is a very harmful thing;

But if they were strategists of the National Guard Mansion or the General Shogunate, they would only say they were warships. The warships were not weapons, but roads with twice the speed of march and transportation efficiency than roads by land. Because the Jing people controlled the waterways, they could travel six or seven hundred miles a day and night; the Qin army traveled by land, with a limit of one hundred and twenty miles a day and night, and the number of staff was reduced.

If the marching is like this, it is even more important to say that the transportation is transported. A large boat can transport nearly a thousand stones of corn. No matter how good the road conditions are, it will only be equipped with one hundred stones. If the large boat has enough hand, it can run three or four hundred miles a day and night. The carriage is different. If the four-wheeled carriage does not change horses, it can reach up to one hundred miles a day and night. Moreover, if a horse is 100 miles a day and a horse will soon die.

Weapons are not the most important. It is the most important thing to be able to quickly gather troops in any place and transport military funds (in fact, it is to maintain the troops there) and the key to achieving this is the warship. The Jing people had three oars of warships, but the Qin army did not, but now the Qin army has it. The Qin army's warships are longer and larger than the Jing people's warships.

Qi He didn't know what the warship represented, but in his impression, the Qin army was suppressed by the Chu army over the past decade, lost cities and land, and the morale of the army and the people were in panic. He, the general of Lieutenant, woke up from his dream in the middle of the night and had to think: What should he do if Qin really perished?

"The king said: "Charge the Jing army and then go to the border city. If I have such a warship, the Jing people will definitely be defeated." Zhao Ying, Yang Duanhe and others landed on the shore. When they heard Qi Qian sighing, Yang Duanhe took over the conversation. "The Jing people learned the art of making boats from the extreme west, and I, the Great Qin, can also learn the art of making boats from the extreme west, and it is also very difficult."

"Early west?" Early west is a land of quicksand, which is the perception of most people, especially the Qin people who were blocked from information.

"Yes." One means one, two means two. Not only Zhao Ying, Yang Duanhe or Qin people are simple and strong, but people of this era are also simple and strong. "The king sent envoys to the extreme west to ask for boat-building craftsmen. Jing Kingdom Yin connected with the Xiongnu and detained my craftsmen. However, the envoys of the extreme west to also know the art of boat-building, so the young mansion built it..."

Yang Duanhe said it very briefly. In fact, he didn't know how the Shaofu masters built multiple oars and warships. The Huns did detain craftsmen, but not all craftsmen. In addition to craftsmen, the delegation also carried ship books for building ships. These ships were written on rolls of papyrus, strictly and intact, because they were not weapons and were not detained.

The difference between single-pad warships and multi-pad warships is mainly in the dragon and ribs. For ten years, Shaofu has not been researched on how to build multi-pad warships. Those keel-free three-pad warships that sail in the water are the results of Shaofu's research. Shaofu has accumulated, and this accumulation is not only in terms of technology, but also in terms of material and personnel. After successfully building the first multi-pad warship, all problems are solved.

Yang Duanhe talked, and the generals next to him, including Meng Tian, ​​looked at him. After he finished speaking, Meng Tian asked a very important question: "What is our army going to attack the Jing people along the way?"

"How about the general who did not order the National Guard?" Because of the confidentiality, each army was independent and there was no horizontal connection. Before the Zhou army attacked, the National Guard's Mansion did not issue military orders to Meng Tian.

"It's not dead." Meng Tian shook his head. The warships were huge, and the number was too numerous to see at a glance. He smelled the scent of victory, but he didn't know what he should do to get more heads.

"Our army defeated the Jing people's Zhou army and should attack Nanzheng again." Zhao Ying said. "Once we enter Nanzheng, the general's enemy will be defeated..."

Zhao Ying woke Meng Tian up with a word. The Jing army on Yuanwu Mountain came in from Baoxi Road, and all their food and fodder were transported from Nanzheng. The Zhou army defeated the Jing people and Zhou army. Even if they did not pull out Nanzheng, as long as they controlled the waterway, it would be like cutting off the Jing people's food route. No matter how good the Jing people were to fight and no artillery was sharp, they would be defeated even without food.

"Thank you General Zhao!" There were about five Jingmen brigades in Yuanwu Mountain, and there were at least 40,000 soldiers responsible for transportation along the way. Thinking of these 40,000 or 50,000 heads, the generals around Meng Tian were very happy and all bowed to Zhao Ying.

"Report to General, the heaven is bright." The boat army was in the old way to get on the anchor in order to wait for the dawn. Since the sky is about to dawn, Zhao Ying will board the boat.

*

Before dawn, the moonlight and starlight will always disappear, and the world will be dark. The Chu army, who was worried that the Qin people would take the opportunity to attack, were counting the soldiers, reorganizing the troops, and preparing for the battle after dawn. Lu Gaoku sat in the darkness, his thoughts were a little confused.

Although the Qin people used water instead of attacking, he was very surprised how they did this. Besides, they had already cleared the waterways of the canyon and launched a large-scale attack. Why couldn't the Qin people wait until the army passed through the canyon and pulled out the old Daoyi, and then attacked the old Daoyi with water? Wouldn't that have drowned more soldiers?

The time of the Qin people's water attack was suspicious. This was the conclusion that Lu Gao thought about. When he thought about it, Ba Nu jumped out of his mind from time to time.

Was she dead or escaped? She had been in love with her for so many days, and maybe she had already conceived her own offspring in her belly. One corpse and two lives were a tragedy, but if she had escaped, she would have given birth to a child and became a Ba people in the future and fought for the Qin people, wouldn’t it be even more tragic to have a father and son fight each other?

One was a war and the other was a woman. Both were filled with their brains, and Lu Gao felt dizzy. He restrained both of them and did not think about them, so he felt a little better in his brain, but his tiredness became heavier and his eyelids became heavier and heavier.

"Fake, report to the false..." Lu Gao was about to fall asleep, and someone shouted in his ear. "Ba, Ba girl..."

The sky gradually became brighter, and Ba Nu, who was worried about him, was walking on the edge of the mountain on the other side of the Mianshui River. From a distance, she looked like a deer, jumping from time to time and being blocked from time to time. The rest of the Ba people were guarding her from time to time, and she was stunned for a moment, and then jumped up with a sensation. When he raised his hand and was about to shout, the giant square sails on both sides blocked the woman's slender figure.
