When? In times of war! 604 Crossing the river

"yes......"

When it comes to paying taxes, everyone is concerned, and there is no way, it is really because the burden of the common people in the last years of the Ming Dynasty is too heavy!

After saying a few words, Zheng Fakui said with a smile: "We are now all enrolled in the Panshi Fort military membership, eating big fish and meat every day, and the family has divided the land and cattle, and we are also living a good life - those pickled things in the past, there is no need to mention them, no need to think about them, just remember that as long as we follow Master Dong, we will have a good life!" ”

Naturally, everyone agreed.

On the one hand, although Jiang Laosan desperately wanted to fall asleep, he couldn't sleep anyway because of the pain, and when he heard what Zheng Fakui said, he couldn't help rolling his eyes and scolded secretly in his heart.

It's just that I have to admit that people like Zheng Fakui also like Shangguan, and the people below are also convinced.

But he would never think that he was worse than Zheng Fakui.

"Come, let's work harder, and quickly drag this tree back, and we can pull it with a rope." Zheng Fakui encouraged everyone: "Our killer team is the number one killer team, no matter what we do, we have to be the first, right?" ”

"Yes!"

Everyone responded loudly, which also made him feel uplifted, and they all dragged the rope and dragged it vigorously to the river.

Jiang Laosan and Yang Er also struggled to get up, and followed behind and walked forward.

When they reached the river, they found that they were the first to come back, and they were all a little excited.

Shi Jin looked at it and smiled: "Yo, I came back quite quickly, and I did a good job." ”

Everyone was flattered, and Zheng Fakui hurriedly said: "For the sake of subordinates and others, I don't dare to be an adult's boast." ”

Shi Jin glanced at Jiang Laosan and Yang Er deeply, and nodded: "Let's rest first, there will be busy work later." ”

"Yes!"

Everyone hurried down.

After about a tea time, the teams that went out to cut wood came back one after another, and with Jiang Laosan and Yang Er as examples, they had a very strong sense of urgency, and they did not delay time.

After everyone returned, Shi Jin ordered that some of the branches of these woods be roughly removed, and then a group of five pieces of wood was firmly tied up with ropes to form a huge thing. This is not an easy job, after all, these five woods, the thickness and length are different, and the branches are crossed, and if you want to firmly fit them together and tie them strongly, it is not easy to get there and make it together.

Another quarter of an hour had passed, and it had taken almost half an hour before it was largely completed.

Twenty large trees turned into four sets of huge obstacles. Each obstacle is two feet long, and the thickness of a large water tank looks very huge and heavy.

At the same time, the soldiers who were responsible for collecting the stones also returned.

Zhou Zhong asked them to take out all the fishing nets they had brought with them, and then put the stones in them, and after putting such a large bag, they tied up the fishing nets to form a heavy sandbag-like thing. However, it is a fishing net, and it is also filled with stones.

It is undoubtedly quite difficult to build a bridge in a short time.

If you want to build such traditional stone bridges, wooden bridges, you have to need bridge piers, if you use big wood as bridge piers, you need to ram the lower half of the river into the soil at the bottom of the river, this work, but laborious and time-consuming, but also requires a certain technical content to complete, definitely not in a short time to complete. As for the construction of a stone pier bridge, as on the Ogan River east of the Rock Fort, a large number of stone piers would have to be built on a relatively flat scale, which could be stacked together without being three, so that the piers could be built. If it's all weird, I'm afraid it's more difficult.

And if you want to build a pontoon bridge, you have to have a boat, and at worst, it is a small boat.

Now none of these things are available to the Rock Fort Army.

But Shi Jin and the two discussed, but they had their own plans.

Shi Jin's idea was simple - since I couldn't build a bridge, well, then I would stop the river for the time being - this method was simple and crude, but it was the easiest to do.

The river is not very deep and the current is not fast, which makes the plan very feasible.

Shi Jin ordered: "Come, push these things in, pay attention, come, all under the command of the officer......"

Under Shi Jin's order, more than 20 strong men pulled and pushed behind, and finally pushed a huge obstacle to the river. The obstacle rolled down the river's edge, slamming into the water with a loud noise, and the water splashed in all directions, four or five feet high, and the shoes of those who were near the shore were soaked.

It can be seen that the obstacle immediately sank to the bottom of the river, and the water here is gentle, not enough to wash away the obstacle made of large trees, and the obstacle stirs the sludge at the bottom of the river, and the river suddenly becomes muddy.

One after another, several huge obstacles were pushed in, but Shi Jin frowned.

This was not quite what he had expected, according to his vision, it should be two groups, connected head to tail, across the river, and because of the shape of the obstacles, a depression will naturally form between the two groups, and then a net of stones will be thrown into it, and a bridge across the river can be constructed, similar to a dam.

But now, it didn't meet his expectations, and four huge obstacles were lying across the river, not what he expected, but he was relieved that he could finally connect from here to there. There was a depth of about a foot between the top of the obstacle and the river, and the river overflowed from above.

"Come, throw these stones into it again, and see if you can throw them."

Zhou Zhong instructed his soldiers to throw the nets full of stones one by one on top of the huge obstacles, first piling them up near the river, and then advancing step by step.

Finally, when there was still about a quarter of an hour before the time limit given by Dong Ce, this temporary bridge was finally built.

There are big trees at the bottom, and stones at the top, and four obstacles composed of twenty big trees are stacked together, deep into the river mud, and they are very stable. The top is about a foot above the water, enough for people to pass through easily.

It's more like a dam than a bridge, but it's not very appropriate, because the river is not blocked, and there are many gaps in the big trees below and the stones on top that the water can flow through. There are even four or five gaps more than a foot wide on the top for water to flow through.

I am afraid that after it is completely blocked, the water will quickly wash it down.

Look at this situation, as long as there is no more rainstorm, I am afraid that this temporary bridge can be preserved for a while.

Shi Jin did not delay, but immediately ordered to cross the river.

By the time everyone came to the other side, the sun was already setting, and the sky was already red.

The time of Shen is about to pass, and the time of unitary is coming.

And here, there are still about fourteen or fifteen miles away from the planned camping site at the mouth of the long river.

Dong Ce had already led people to cross the river first, thinking that he was an outpost. As for why they didn't just use war horses to transport the soldiers across the river - first of all, the Rock Fort army basically didn't know how to ride horses, even if the war horses were very docile, they couldn't control the horses at all, and in the process of crossing the river, there was a high chance of falling into the river. The second is - war horses are very valuable, and at the same time they are also very delicate. Looking at the leather, he is big, powerful, can carry people, can transport goods, and is actually quite delicate.
