Chapter 844: Crossing the River with a Clever Plan

Ming Xiu plank road is dark Chen Cang, this kind of strategy is indeed a clever trick to cross the river, but Li Mingxin can think of it, his group of senior brothers composed of military battalions will naturally not be unexpected, the whole Tibetan River is very long, there are always twists and turns and narrow sections, it is very suitable to rush to cross the river.

However, the Tang Dynasty does not have enough time, how can there be so much time for the army to look around for the gentle area of the river, Cheng Huaimo and others have issued a military order.

The first trick given by the military battalion to cross the river, that is, the bamboo raft to transport troops, of course, knew that the opposite side was waiting for the battle, so this first time was just a temptation, a huge bamboo raft, there were few soldiers, just disguised as a large troop transport boat.

Before the raft could reach the opposite shore, at a distance of 300 meters, the raft was overwhelmed by a thunderstorm that covered it, leaving only a fragment of wood and bamboo on the river.

"Well, as we expected, they were ambushing on the opposite side with catapults, and we couldn't get close." Hong Qianli nodded.

"In that case, then let's just cover them with ballistas, which have a long range and are the nemesis of the catapult on the opposite side." Cheng Huaimo said.

"No, the role of ballistas is no secret in Tibet, first, we are not sure that there is no such thing as ballistas on the other side, and second, this is the Tibetan River with strong water, and the ballistas cannot hover in the river like we do on the shore, even if the opposite side does not counterattack, just find a reasonable evasion point, we can avoid the attack of the ballista.

After our bamboo raft approaches, as long as the other side is not completely annihilated, it will definitely counterattack, so our casualties will definitely not be small, and it will be meaningless to forcibly land and cross the river, and the casualties will be too great. ”

Hong Qianli's explanation directly poured a basin of cold water on a group of militant generals.

"So what do you say? I promised Master that I would cross the river in three days. Cheng Huaimo said anxiously.

At this time, a person came out of the military camp, it was Li Jing's grandson Li Yeqi, "All the senior brothers watched the sky and learned that there will be heavy fog tomorrow morning. ”

Ha, some people can't hear it, but more people directly clap their hands and praise it, this is really God help me.

"Senior brother, how about we follow the example of Zhuge Wuhou and borrow arrows from a grass boat?" Hong Qianli smiled meaningfully and said to Cheng Huaimo.

"Wonderful, isn't he Li Mingxin a genius, Li Xinzhong threatened that Tubo can create a thunderbolt?

Then we will give him a straw boat to borrow mines, and see how many thunderstorms they can use in their little Tibet. ”

Cheng Huaimo and others immediately ordered that all the soldiers participate in the great cause of cutting down trees and building rafts, the junior disciples of the Mo family preside over the construction of large rafts, and the rest of the soldiers participate in building small rafts used by three or five people, and strive to build a suitable raft of 5,000 sizes before the time of the child.

Li Ji looked at the busy 50,000 people, stroked his beard and nodded: "Jian Zhi, your Three Kingdoms book is really an excellent textbook for military teaching, and this group of children has grown up very quickly."

But are you sure that Li Mingxin on the other side can't see through such a trick? You've trained them. ”

Bai Fan sat in the handsome tent and tasted the tea carefully, the plateau air pressure was thin, and the boiling water could not reach 100 degrees Celsius, so this kind of water to make tea was a little untasteful, but it was better than nothing.

"Li Mingxin? If I can finish learning the things in my academy in three years, I will worship him as a teacher.

War, from the day Zhongnan Academy was built, it was no longer a single person who could fight, a thousand troops were easy to get, a general was difficult to find, and in the future, it will no longer be a factor restricting a country's military ability.

Although the Li family brothers have some strategic talents, they have never learned to observe the heavens, and among the first batch of disciples in the academy, there are only three or two people with this kind of talent. ”

Hearing this, Li Ji was relieved, I know the enemy but the enemy doesn't know me, this victory is already in our hands.

"The last time the official road of the canyon happened, if Yuan Tianshi was alive and Li Chunfeng Dao Chang followed, maybe it could have been avoided in advance."

Bai Fan laughed, "Brother Mao Gong, if it is spread that you are a marshal of the Tang Dynasty, but you pin your hopes for victory or defeat on the calculation of fate, I am afraid that your marshal will come to an end." ”

"Hmph, as long as it is a good way to reduce the casualties of the soldiers, this commander does not matter where he comes from.

It's a shame to say that a certain family also worked as a Taoist priest for a while before joining the army, but after joining the army, Taoist calculations have long been thrown away, and now I can only recall. Li Ji said embarrassedly, not caring about Bai Fan's quip.

"Yes, black cats and white cats, it's always good cats that catch mice.

Before, Chunfeng's nephew had asked to join the army, I stopped it, this group of people will eventually grow up through the baptism of blood and fire, and the five disadvantages and three deficiencies of cultivators, if Chunfeng follows the army and is contaminated with too much fireworks, it is a piece of Taoist jade, and I can't bear it.

It's Brother Mao Gong, cultivation and wealth are incompatible, you choose the military general wealth and wealth will naturally lose the Taoist heart, if you are born in a peaceful and prosperous world, with your qualifications, you will definitely be a master. ”

The two chatted, and the time soon reached midnight, and sure enough, just after the hour, the weather began to change, and fog began to rise on the river, which had already permeated the entire river in a short time, which made Li Mingxin, who had been sleeping lightly, suddenly do it, because he felt that the air seemed to become moist, which is very rare in the perennially dry plateau.

At this moment, the center of the river suddenly made a loud noise, which directly woke up the sleeping army of Tibet here, and the scout observation post directly sounded the horn to warn.

Li Xinzhong put on his robe and walked out of the camp, "What's the matter?" Did the Tang army dare to cross the river at night? It's too underestimating us, we have 5,000 people on night duty, and how many bamboo rafts come here have been blown up and sunk for him. ”

"No, it shouldn't be that simple, you see on the river, it's already foggy." Li Mingxin pointed with his right hand, and sure enough, with the help of the torch, he could already see the fog floating near the lamp.

Soon, there was a little light in the middle of the river, that is, the light of the bamboo raft troop carrier on the Tang side, which could be vaguely seen through the fog, and the lights lined up from west to east, about two miles, all drove towards the north bank.

"The catapult is ready to bomb the sky, and once the opponent's lights enter the firing range, the covering bombing will be carried out immediately." Li Xinzhong shouted.

But the lights of Datang seemed to stop, just stuck in the center of the river and did not move, and gradually the number of lights in the center of the river increased, and the new extra light points were densely packed, rushing towards the other side of the river in groups, as if someone was rowing quickly.

This is the catapult made by the disciples of the Mo family with the trick, which can catapult the small raft out on the big raft, and with the force of the ejection, the small raft can even slide to the opposite side on its own, of course, provided that it does not sit on the person to bear the weight.

The Datang military division battalion is going to use this to borrow thunder, and there are three or two straw men on the small bamboo raft, and each boat is lit with two torches.

Under the thick fog, Tubo can't really see it, but the light boat is also the enemy, you can't watch them cross the river, although there are not many threes, threes, twos, twos, but gather sand into a tower, and it will be over.

"Fire!" Li Xinzhong shouted angrily.
