Chapter 38: Imperishable
After the Chu army attacked Yuanhu Mountain and returned to the left bank of the river, the warnings of the Great Sima Mansion were basically ignored by Cheng Tong, Sima Shang, Wu Kai and others. Although there are many Hou spies who know the enemy's division, they can detect whether the enemy situation is in the rear of the enemy army, and after such a layer, the rebuke cavalry in the army is different, and the rebuke cavalry can violently break into the warning area of the Qin army and detect the enemy.
Whether it is a war boat, artillery, or a large army, as long as the additional cavalry war boats are sent to maintain a certain warning range. Compared with the hostile situation, Cheng Tong and others are still concerned about the Lingguanxia waterway. The sooner you clear the blockage, the sooner you will kill it to disperse. When they arrived at Sanguan, they knew what tricks the Qin people had at first sight, so why should they be cautious one after another.
On Tianchi Daze, Cheng Tong, the main general of the gathering and discussion, ignored the news sent by the Great Sima Mansion after listening to it, and he ended the military discussion after saying a few words, leaving only Su Kai and Ou Qin.
"Tomorrow, I will ask the Yue Shi to go up the water and investigate the reality of the Qin people." Luo Kai is Da Ao, Cheng Tong is very polite to him, and the general of the Huiji is also a Yue person, who is accustomed to land warfare and is also good at water warfare.
"Where the responsibility lies, don't dare to slack off." It was Ou Qin who really led the troops. The Yue division, who was good at water warfare, reconnoitred and opened the way in front, the Chu division who could fight in water was in the center, the Zhao army who did not understand water warfare, and the Wei army who hurried to join in the fun and share the credit. The layout of Chengtong is decent.
"The news newspaper said that the Qin people had a war boat, but I don't know if it's true or not." Cheng Tong looked at his general, Pang Nuan, and talked about the news of Zhibisi. "If the Qin people also have war boats, they live upstream, and I live downstream......"
If the two sides have the same boat, the downstream may be in an advantageous position only in terms of broadside battles. The downstream warship should be close to the upstream warship to stop the downstream; If you want to separate, just go downstream. For this reason, when the Chu people fought with the Wu people, they deliberately created a hook sickle, which was similar to the crow hanging of the Romans, which could hold the Wu army's war boat and force the enemy to carry out the battle to the end.
Crash battles are different again. It is difficult for the downstream warship to hit the upstream warship, but the upstream warship can easily hit the downstream warship. If the Qin people really built a three-oared wing, and arranged the three-oared wings on the water, the two sides would suffer a loss in the battle of the Chu army.
"Don't worry, general." Ou Qin smiled and didn't care. "The Qin people are not accustomed to water warfare, and if there is really a war boat, the hand is also a person who lacks a toe. The new style of big wings has three oars, instead of the old big wing with one oar, even those with toes are difficult to paddle. ”
"You mean...... "Chengtong is not very proficient in water warfare either.
"The old style only has one oar, which can be rowed at will, and the new style has three oars, and if you are not careful in wartime, your hand will interfere with the bond; Its speed is doubled, and it is difficult for the stern hand to turn. Even if the Qin people really had a three-oared war boat, their newly formed division was not the opponent of our army. Ou Qin elaborated on the differences between the two sides. He had seen the Qin people's boat division before, and the Qin army's boat division might have been qualified before, but when he heard that the Qin people were training 200,000 or 300,000 waste soldiers to be paddlers, he immediately felt that this was nonsense.
"Good." The Chu Junzhou division is now almost all at sea, and Chengtong can only listen to the Yue people. He said a word of kindness, and after a few more words, he asked the left and right to send Su Kai and Ou Qin out.
"What do you think?" Pang Nuan also didn't know how to fight, so he didn't speak.
"The Qin people are ugly, and the war boat is exquisite, how can we build our army's war boat?" The Cangwu Brigade was also equipped with a war boat, Pang Nuan looked carefully at the three-oars wing, went down to the bottom warehouse to see the keel and ribs, and his first reaction was that the Qin people would definitely not be able to build a Chu-style war boat.
"The Qin people invited craftsmen from the extreme west, so they can build it." into a channel. "If the Qin people hit me with a war boat, they should be able to go down the river."
"If the Qin people attack me with a war boat, the boat officials will definitely not be familiar with it, and half of the war boats will be destroyed on both sides of the river." Pang Nuan smiled, looking like he was in the middle of it. "And this year, the water is shallow, and the canyon will linger, and it will be more than half."
"That's true." Cheng Tong was stunned for a moment, and then nodded again and again.
The water started under the Dasan Pass, and after the old Daoyi, that is, the place where the sinking boat is now blocked, it encountered the first canyon. The reason why the Chu army could not attack could only take a detour from Yuanhu Mountain was that in addition to the cliffs on both sides, the twists and turns of the waterway were also a reason. Many of the waterways in this section of the canyon are in the shape of 'self', and some are even more urgent than 'self'. After a 90-degree turn, there is a 180-degree turn, the bow turns into the stern, and then a 90-degree or 180-degree turn goes ahead.
It's almost October, and the water is shallow, but for some reason the water level is shallower this year than last year. Downstream to upstream, the speed can be controlled, still from time to time stranded and hit the reef, the upstream downstream, the course is not well controlled, the turning angle is not enough or exceeded, the war boat will definitely hit the cliff. Even if you turn the right corner, you won't necessarily be able to avoid the ubiquitous shallows and reefs.
Of course, a small number of experienced boat officials can do it with ease, and a dozen or dozens of war boats may be able to go straight down the river, but if you want to say that hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of Qin troops go down the boat, then half of the war boats will really sink in the canyon along the way.
The more reasonable inference of the Chengtong shogunate was that there was a water battle between the two armies of Weishui under Chencang Castle. Not just water battles, but land battles. Once the Great Dispersion Pass is pulled, the only thing the Qin people can rely on is Chen Cang, and if they hold Chen Cang, they will also hold Guanzhong. Chencang was north of Weishui, and the Chu army had to cross Weishui to capture Chencang.
If the water battle took place here, the Qin army's warships could attack the Chu army's boat division from the three directions of the upper Weishui, the lower Weishui, and the Huangshui. The Chu army's warships needed to cross the Qinling Mountains, and the Qin's warships were built directly on the banks of the Weishui, so it was easy for the Qin army to form a numerical advantage. The Great Sima Mansion was reluctant to engage in a water war with the Qin army, which had three oars and large wings, precisely because the exchange ratio of water warfare was too low. Compared with water warfare, Da Sima Fu preferred to engage in a land battle with the Qin army with a little breakthrough and the entire army was defeated.
In October Xinhai, the last military meeting of the Chencang Dao shogunate before the war ended, and all divisions and brigades were ready to go, and the Huiji Yue Division led by Ou Qin took the lead to investigate the enemy's situation. They set out from Tianchi Daze, marched to the area south of Lingguan Gorge and stayed overnight, and on the second day, when the canyon was barely cleared, they crossed the left bank of the Chushui occupied by the Chu army and went to the old Daoyi occupied by the Qin people. If the waterway near Gudo-eup is not blocked, they will continue to paddle up until they reach the bottom of Sanguan.
Lingguan Gorge is the first canyon in the water, that is to say, there is no canyon in Lingguan Gorge until the foot of the Qinling Mountains. According to common sense, it is difficult to form a blockage where there is no canyon, because without a canyon it is impossible to stop the Chu army from clearing the blockage. Based on the topography of Chencang Road, once the Chu army clears the waterway blockage and the war boat continues to advance, the Qin army on the shore will become an isolated point.
The next day, after crossing the Lingguan Gorge, the Huiji Yue Division advanced to the Gudaoyi waterway and was blocked by the Qin people, but this was no longer a big problem. The city is not a canyon with a wall of two or three hundred meters, and it is pulled down. Located in the flat place on the left bank of the river, either the two armies will engage in a field battle, and the Chu army will detour to the flank of the Qin army through the war boat, or the Qin army will defend the old Daoyi, and the siege brigade will come forward to pull out the city. No matter how the Qin army chooses, it cannot stop the advance of the Chu army.
"Where is the king?" After the news of the appearance of the Chu Junzhou Division in the old Daoyi reached Yongcheng, Wei Yu ran directly into the road gate and rushed to bed.
"The king, the king is not in the bed." The royal seat in the Ming Hall was empty, and several cases were still piled up with bamboo slips, and several Shangshu were startled by Wei Yu who suddenly rushed in.
"Where is the king?" Wei Yi stomped his feet vigorously, and at this time, the monks in Shangshu and Mingtang realized that he had not taken off.
"The king, the king......" Shangshu couldn't tell where the king was, and his hesitation made Wei Yi stomp his feet again. Out of the main bed, Wei Yu rushed to Zhuquan Palace non-stop.
The Qin-Chu war is imminent, the survival of Great Qin is uncertain, after moving west, the king is more and more concerned about Fusu, and for a time the call to set up the eldest son Fusu as the prince has been heard from time to time. The king is not in the main sleeping spring palace, that is in the east palace Zhuquan Palace. It's a pity that when Wei Yu arrived at Zhuquan Palace, Zhao Zheng was no longer in Zhuquan Palace. If it is not in the palace of the eldest prince, it may be in the palace of the favored concubine Wei Meiren, but when Wei Yi ran to the palace of Wei Meiren, he still did not find Zhao Zheng.
"Excuse me. The widow is just ......" Zhao Zhengren is in the palace, but not in the palace of Wei Meiren and Yue Meiren, but in the palace of the former queen Miqian. "The widow and Fusu are just passing through here."
Zhao Zheng, who spoke, was a little unnatural, he was indeed passing by, not on purpose.
"The concubine thanked the king." Mi Qian is thin, her eyes are dead, and there is only some light when she sees Fusu.
"You don't have to thank the widow, it's Fusu...... "Fusu is a testimony of the love between the two, and this testimony is ten years old this year." Zhao Gao! ”
Zhao Zheng suddenly frowned when he said this, and as soon as he entered the West Chapter, he felt a heavy coldness, and now it is still cold standing in the big room.
"The villain is here." Zhao Gao's eyebrows were pleasing to the eye, and he was cut off with one foot and hurriedly jumped out.
"Why isn't there a charcoal fire?!" Zhao Zheng's voice suddenly deepened. "Investigate immediately and thoroughly, those who violate the law will be killed!"
Zhao Gao jumped out, and then hurriedly jumped out to investigate thoroughly, and soon there was a sound of reprimand outside. Mi Qian was not happy when she listened to the reprimand outside, she persuaded in a low voice: "The concubine hears that it is urgent in wartime, and the lack of charcoal fire in the palace is also a common thing, so why punish the servants, the concubine is not cold here." ”
"You're still resentful?" Zhao Zheng waved his sleeves, Fusu was led out, and he sat on the cold mat and continued to speak.
"The concubine doesn't dare." Hearing this, she lowered her head and said lightly. When she looked up again, she asked, "I wonder why the king is here?" ”
"What?" Zhao Zheng felt Mi Qian's resistance to himself, and he was faintly unhappy in his heart, but when she asked what was wrong, the displeasure dissipated again. He didn't want to hide it, so he said directly: "If the widow establishes Fusu as the prince......
His words shocked Mi Qian, and he was silent for a moment, and Mi Qian's words also shocked him: "Could it be that when the Chu army attacks, will the Qin State die?" ”
Mi Qian didn't mean to mock, but her words still stabbed the man's extremely weak self-esteem, he got up angrily and reprimanded: "Great Qin will not die!" With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
