337 Heavenly Army came to help
In the face of such a sudden disaster. Shang Wen felt very tricky. First of all, he did not understand why so much ice was attacking the mouth of the river. Could it be that the Yue people have already taken precautions, if this is the case, then the situation of the Qin army that has already crossed the river will be very bad.
Shang Wen returned to his tent to look for information. Finally he found what he wanted to understand.
This is Ling Xun. The timing of the Qin army's dispatch has reached the point in time. Just in time for Ling Xun.
Lingxun, commonly known as ice row, is a hydrological phenomenon caused by the resistance of ice to the water flow and the obvious rise of the water level of the river. Ice can sometimes accumulate into ice plugs or ice dams, causing the water level to rise dramatically, and eventually floodplains or levees burst, known as floods. Flooding can occur during the closure period in winter and during the opening period in spring. In layman's terms, it means that there is ice on the water surface, and it breaks into blocks, and there is a flow of water under the ice, which drives the ice to move downstream, and when the river embankment is narrow, the ice continues to accumulate, resulting in excessive pressure on the embankment, which is Lingxin.
In fact, the opening period of the Yellow River has not yet arrived, but this time the weather is more abnormal, and the weather is unusually warm. As a result, the Yellow River at a lower latitude was the first to arrive at the opening period. This is also the reason why the Mongolian military department postponed the crossing of the river. After several days of trekking, Ling Xun finally arrived at the Qin army on the middle line that happened to cross the river. Today's disaster. Just let Qin Jun meet.
Shang Wen sensed that something was wrong. At the beginning, he felt that the Qin army was progressing too smoothly. He needs to consult with Wang Qian. The sudden arrival of Ling Xun made the Qin army split into two parts at once. If you can't restore supplies as soon as possible. It's going to be very bad.
"It's Ling Xun." Shang Wen said straight to the point.
"We met Ling Xun. The ice melted upstream and hit us downstream. The situation is very bad. I don't know how long this will happen. Anyway, it's not going to be good. Shang Wen said with a headache.
"Well, it is imperative to immediately restore contact with the other side of the strait. Shouting simply won't work. Wang Jian said.
"Is there no other way?" Shangwen asked.
"It's too far for an arrow to reach." Wang Jian said.
"With artillery, or flying pigeons, in short, we need to restore the supply lines as quickly as possible. Put the army on the opposite bank on the defensive. Shang Wen said.
"Cannon?" Wang Jian said.
"I'll solve this problem." As he spoke, Shang Wen took out his notebook. Let's draw the shape of an empty shell. In the let people place a communication strip inside.
After Shang Wen finished painting, he immediately asked people to do it.
"How many people are on the other side?" Shang Wen asked calmly for the time being.
"The latest situation is that there is probably a cavalry brigade on the opposite bank, an integrated division, plus an infantry regiment and an artillery battalion. The total number of people is about 30,000. Wang Jian replied.
"Oh my God." Shang Wen said with a headache. With so many people, food alone is busy enough.
"I want to know, where is the airship of the Celestial Army?" Shangwen immediately thought of the Air Force. At present, only airships can restore this situation.
"They happen to be right next to us." Wang Jian said. The airship has been running out of things right now. So, they always follow the army at a leisurely pace.
"Let them restore the supply lines." Shang Wen said.
"That's all there is to it. I'll go and order. Wang Jian took the initiative to say.
Saying that, Wang Jian began to give orders.
There is no way to open up the ground supply channel.
"By the way, let people check upstream. To see if there is a suitable passage, we need to open the supply line as soon as possible. The sooner the better. Shang Wen said weakly.
"The sooner the better. The sooner the better. Shang Wen sat down and rested.
The Qin army moved very quickly, and they began to clean up the mouth of the river. The ice is expanding, and the squeezing ice is expanding to both sides. The Qin army had to start moving a large amount of supplies.
The airship soon flew over the mouth of the river. First of all, they had to convey Wang Qian's order to the troops on the other side of the strait, and they should first restore the command and contact of the troops on the other side.
The artillery also fired. It's a pity that the other side doesn't understand what the hell is going on here. They scolded and accused each other of taking the wrong medicine. After they received Wang Qian's order and resumed communication, they began to enter a defensive state. The cavalry began to retreat. The infantry began to move to occupy the Helan Mountain Pass, and then sent elite troops to occupy the commanding heights.
At this time, the airship troops were very busy, first they had to unload all their weapons and equipment, and then load a large amount of food and ammunition to the opposite shore. However, this mode of transportation is really limited.
Faced with such a dilemma. The Army on the ground is finally willing to cooperate. They began to ask the airship to carry the cable to the other side of the river. They need to use cables to transport supplies. In order to expedite the transportation of supplies.
The airship troops were cooperative. Because they see their worth finally being brought into play. They kept carrying a large amount of supplies and flew over with a long cable in tow. Throw the cable to the other party. The other party managed to set it up on a high platform. It doesn't matter if you use wood or mounds of earth. In short, it's their own business.
The airship quickly unloaded the supplies, and then quickly flew back to the opposite shore. In this way, the five airships shuttled back and forth. And that's not all. The ground support personnel of the Space Forces began to carry out various tasks, opening temporary take-off and landing sites, and conducting meteorological tests, although only barometers were the most useful. And it's very precious. It takes a lot of work to manufacture. But they still have to provide the most basic ground handling support.
This time the Celestial Army finally came in handy. But overall, the Qin army's supplies were still unable to meet the needs of more than 30,000 people. Supplies are still scarce. If you have a firefight with each other at this time. The situation is very bad.
Sometimes, I am really afraid of something, and I am afraid of something. The Qin army made such a big move, and the people of the Yue clan didn't make any movement for more than 20 days. In addition to the communication situation, they need to transmit the situation on horseback. There is also the problem of the reaction of the Yue people, who believe that it is harassment by the Qin army. Harassment against the Qin army. The king of the Yue clan simply issued an order to send troops to harass the Qin state.
The Yueshi side did not pay much attention to the Qin army's operation from the beginning. But with the bad situation one after another, it reached the ears of the king of the Yue clan. Only then did the king of the Yue clan realize that something was wrong.
He immediately began to order the large army that had been brought back to be dispatched immediately. His reason was that it was very likely that the Qin army would come at him this time. He didn't want the Qin army to attack the Yue's hinterland from this direction.
When the Qin army was crossing the river, this large army had already begun to be dispatched, and the number was about 150,000. In the battle with Meng Tian, they suffered heavy losses, plus a blizzard. Their numbers have dropped dramatically. Now, they're going to go out again.
