Great Tang Broom Star: Chapter 816 Forcibly crossing duck green water

  Chapter 816 Forcibly crossing the duck green water

  The sergeant froze for a moment.

  The general next to him repeated Li Ji's question, "The British prince asked you why your morale is so high."

  Everyone is looking at the sergeant, he is a little nervous.

The sergeant's nose was very itchy, but he didn't dare to scratch it. He looked forward to Ai Ai and said: "Mr. Wuyang said... if you don't practice now, if you die in battle later, your wife will remarry and your children will change their surnames. Others will sleep with your wife and beat your children. ..."

  This word...

   Gao Kan looked strange.

  Even Li Ji failed, I don't know whether to laugh or be angry.

   But these words are extraordinarily powerful.

  Seeing that everyone was stunned, the sergeant quickly scratched his nose and felt extremely comfortable, "Mr. Wu Yang also said that one knife in the battlefield can be practiced for ten years."

  Li Ji waved his hand, and the sergeant frantically chased after the queue.

  Gao Kan said quietly: "This is... vulgar, but wonderful."

  Li Ji nodded, "One knife on the battlefield, ten years of practice."

  He turned around and looked at the generals, "Pass on what Lord Wuyang said, and tell the soldiers to practice."

  All the generals got on their horses and went back separately, and their roars came later.

"If you're lazy at the moment, you'll be unfamiliar with swordsmanship when you go to the battlefield, and Ma Chan will be awkward. If you relax now, you will die when you go to the battlefield. Your wife will remarry, and your child will change his surname. Others will sleep with your wife and beat your children... Practice!"

  The whole camp boiled.

  The morale of the soldiers was high, and the shouts were loud.

   Li Ji and Gao Kan were quite relieved to see this scene.

   "This is the first time Duke Wuyang has led the way alone." Gao Kan smiled and said, "At first, the old man was worried that he would be at a loss, but now it seems that the young man is confident and calm."

   "There are still two hurdles." Li Ji said indifferently: "Planning before the war, commanding according to circumstances during the war, these two hurdles cannot pass, he is still a fledgling, and he will not be able to participate in the big scene."

  Gao Kan nodded.

   After practicing for a few days, Li Ji took the generals to check the terrain.

  Yalu water in early spring is still chilly, but the good news is that the water level is not too high.

   "You can't go here on foot. In the past two years, the duck-green water freezes quite thinly. People and animals will fall into the water if they step on it."

  At the beginning, everyone wondered whether they could pass on foot. If they could, it would be easy. The local guide gave them this thought.

   "Think about it all." Li Ji was going to brainstorm and find a proper way to cross the river.

   "This river is a bit wide, I'm afraid it can only be crossed by boat."

   "Hmm! That's the only way to go."

   "When the first emperor conquered Goryeo, he was blocked in the Yalu River. When the river froze in September, he drove straight in and beheaded countless people..."

  In this era, such great rivers are natural moats. At that time, Soochow relied on the natural danger of the Yangtze River to sleep peacefully.

   Li Ji pondered.

  The guide smiled wryly, "The past two years have been warmer, and the ice isn't thick enough!"

   Someone picked up a rock and threw it on the ice.

   Poof!

  The stone broke through the ice and fell into the water.

   "I can't make it through."

  Li Ji said in a deep voice: "Mobilize the ships."

  Gao Kan squinted his eyes and looked at the opposite side, "Use a boat to cross the river... If the Koreans can be defeated one by one, the casualties must be heavy."

   One after another the ships docked, and the Koreans stood on the shore, waiting for work, shooting Tang Jun with bows and arrows. It was **** time when the Tang army disembarked... Goryeo stabbed with a long spear, one by one killed the other...

  Li Ji looked calm, "How can there be an undead in a battle?"

  Everyone couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

   "Yes, that's the only way!"

   "When the time comes, the next officer asks for an assault!"

  Jia Ping'an's Zuo Yuhou army's leading general, Wang Shenghu, asked for a battle.

   "I beg your orders!"

   "I beg your orders!"

   There is no doubt that the first to attack will suffer heavy casualties, but the generals still volunteered.

   Li Ji saw that Jia Ping'an was thinking, so he asked, "Does Lord Wuyang have something to say?"

  Jia Ping'an walked to the shore, turned around and said, "I have an idea."

   "Where does this come from? Could Duke Wuyang turn into a bridge?"

   Someone laughed.

   "Yes." Jia Pingan said seriously: "I just want to change into a bridge."

  Xiao Jia was a little too active, but it was the first time for a young man to lead an army alone, and the excitement was unavoidable. Li Ji said lightly: "Speak up if you have something to say, right or wrong is second."

  The inside and outside of these words are all about love, and all the generals feel a little bit acid in their hearts.

  The British prince is protecting the calf.

   Jia Ping'an said: "Call together a group of boats of similar height and size, lay wooden boards on the boats, and connect the boats with iron chains. Do it at night... In the early morning, a bridge will be built."

  Gao Kan was stunned, "This is...wonderful! With the boat as the pier and the wooden planks as the bridge deck, connected by iron chains, the soldiers ran on it as if they were walking on flat ground..."

   Tsk tsk!

  This young man, this trick...

  Gao Kan couldn't help thinking of the first time he met Jia Pingan back then, when Jia Pingan looked more like a dude. But in the blink of an eye, this dude became the commander-in-chief of an army along the way.

   Li Ji closed his eyes.

  When I opened my eyes again, there was more joy in my eyes, "If you start in the middle of the night, the enemy army can't check it. When the boat bridge is built, the army will cross the river immediately."

   Li Ji looked at Jia Pingan, nodded for a long time, "Okay!"

  Why is Lao Li so stingy and only said one good word?

   Immediately after that, it was done vigorously and resolutely.

  Jia Ping'an was left behind by Li Ji, who single-handedly presided over the matter.

  Gao Kan asked him, "Mr. Ying, you leave everything to Xiao Jia. Aren't you afraid that he will be exhausted? Aren't you afraid that he will mess things up?"

  Li Ji said indifferently: "It's not a bad thing for young people to be rich. As for messing things up... There is still some time before we can do it right now. If it's messed up, it's time to do it again. The old man is here, so I can cover for him..."

  The room was dimly lit, but Li Ji's half-white hair could still be seen.

  He stroked his white hair lightly, and laughed at himself: "This old man is old. People say that they will feel uneasy when they are old, but this old man has never been afraid of death. The old man occasionally asks himself, why is there any reluctance at this age?"

  Li Ji sighed, "This old man has a magnificent life, enough, enough! But the old man is worried that there will be no successors.". He looked at Gao Kan and asked, "Who do you think will be handsome after this old man?"

  Gao Kan frowned, "Xue Rengui is not successful, he is more than brave, his ability to control the overall situation is not good, and he is a bit stiff with his colleagues. Once he leads a party, he is afraid that all kinds of things will happen."

   These words are like seeing it with my own eyes... Many years later, Xue Rengui led the army to go out, and he was at odds with the deputy commander Guo Daifeng, and he underestimated the enemy and was complacent, and the result was a disastrous defeat. The elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty suffered heavy casualties in that battle. From then on, the Tang Dynasty changed from attacking to defending, and only dealt with Tubo with all its strength.

  This battle can be regarded as a turning point in the fate of the country, so Xue Rengui was dismissed as a civilian. If Li Zhi hadn't thought of his past achievements, he might have rewarded him with a knife.

   "Who else is there?" Li Ji had thought about this question a long time ago, and said lightly: "The rest of the people can't wait. The old man discussed this matter with His Majesty..."

  Gao Kan was surprised, "Your Majesty is also planning for a rainy day?"

"You have underestimated Your Majesty." Li Ji smiled, "Although Your Majesty has not experienced battle, he is well versed in the principle of governing an army first. Once you decide to attack from all directions, the general will decide the victory or defeat. It's the most important thing."

  He picked up the water glass and took a sip, and said slowly: "This old man and His Majesty will list those generals and think about them one by one." He shook his head, "They are not perfect, each has its own flaws."

  Gao Kan raised his head and said with piercing eyes: "This time, Duke Su led the way alone, but before the expedition, he complained of illness...Your Majesty followed suit and replaced Duke Wuyang. This was done on purpose."

clever!

Li Ji nodded, "If Xiao Jia had been appointed as the chief executive early on, there would be countless people who opposed it. If you are too young, your Majesty will be overwhelmed by such words. That's why I came here just before departure. Your Majesty Hinting at Liang Jianfang..."

  Gao Kan was startled and lost his composure, "This... His Majesty is trying to cultivate Duke Wuyang?"

   Li Ji said lightly, "What do you think?"

  Xiao Jia actually won the emperor's attention. In a few years, he might become the commander-in-chief of the attacking party, hiss!

  Gao Kan couldn't help but gasp.

  Li Ji said slowly: "After knowing His Majesty's decision, the old man is very happy."

  The spring breeze gently blew his white hair, but couldn't move the joyful eyes.

  …

  The ships were brought in one after another, and Jia Pingan ordered people to check them one by one.

   "No bad ships are allowed."

   Jia Pingan sits by the river, and some Korean cavalry appear on the other side from time to time.

  They were spying, then went away.

  The war horses galloped, and the cavalry did not spare horsepower at all. When they arrived in Gucheng, the war horse was already drenched in sweat, its legs were limp, and it kept bending its knees.

  Boom!

  The horse fell to the ground, and the cavalry rushed out.

  He rushed all the way into the official office, stopped when he reached the outside of the duty room, and adjusted his breathing, "Master, there is news about Tang Jun."

   A deep voice came, "Come in."

  The cavalry went in to salute.

  There were more than a dozen civil and military officials standing on the left and right in the duty room, and a tall general sat in the middle, with three strands of beard drooping down, his thick eyebrows slightly raised, and his majesty suddenly appeared.

   This is General Wen Shamen, Quan Gai Suwen's confidant, who was ordered to preside over the battle this time.

   "The Tang army is building warships on the opposite bank, and there are quite a few of them."

Wen Shamen nodded and said to the crowd: "This is an attempt to forcefully cross the Yalu River with a boat. In this way, our army can deal with it calmly. When the Tang army approached the shore, they shot them with bows and arrows. Their sergeants had to disembark one by one. This is killing the enemy." The good opportunity, surrounded the past, and strangled them one by one..."

  He turned his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I have thought about Li Ji's various responses, and the best way is to use a boat to cross the river, and he really did!"

   "The ambassador is wise."

  The general can judge the enemy's movement, which is the first step to victory and can greatly boost morale.

A civil official said: "Too big an ambassador, there are so many powerful generals in the Tang army, you should not underestimate them. Gao Kan is a veteran general, and the other Jia Ping annoyed Mo Lizhi. In the previous battle of Liaodong, this Jia Pingan fought sharply. Let our army suffer heavy casualties...don't take it lightly!"

   "I will not underestimate the enemy."

  Wen Shamen said indifferently: "Spring is starting, and the weather is gradually getting warmer. I conclude that Li Ji will do it within half a month."

  He stood up, "Ling!"

   Everyone bowed their bodies and stood with their hands tied.

  The atmosphere in the duty room was chilling.

   Wen Shamen's voice was not loud, but it was very clear because it was quiet.

   "The various ministries began to gather and move closer to the front line of Yalushui. This first battle, I will let the Tang army drink and hate it!"

  Everyone came out in a file. Behind them, Wen Shamen stood there with deep eyes.

  The ships are assembled.

  Li Ji asked the local old farmers to ask questions.

   "What will the weather be like these days?"

  How could the old farmer have thought that he would be able to talk to the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty in this life, and he trembled with excitement.

   "Sanggong, this... this weather... this weather looks... I'm afraid it will be sunny!"

   "How soon will it be sunny?"

   Li Ji asked again.

  Did you think of him as a weather forecaster?

   Jia Pingan was laughing, but was glared at by Gao Kan.

  The old farmer said: "Master, I have to go out and have a look."

  Li Ji nodded, and a group of generals wandered around behind the old farmer.

  The old farmer looked at the sky, then closed his eyes.

   "What is this for?"

  Everyone is puzzled.

  After he opened his eyes, he said very firmly: "Sir, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow will be sunny."

   Jia Pingan wondered, "Why are you closing your eyes?"

   Could it be that there is a supercomputer in your body, which is calculating various data.

  The old farmer said confidently: "This old man is feeling it! The wind will tell the old man what the weather will be like, and the soil will tell the old man... I will know by smelling the smell."

   Then comes preparation.

   "Who will cross the river first!"

  At the preparation meeting, Li Ji raised this question.

   This is what boosts morale.

   "British lord, I beg you!"

   Gao Kan got up and said.

  His eyes were piercing, "The old man will do his part in this battle."

  Gao Kan's qualifications are old, and the generals on Jia Ping'an's side are a little frustrated.

"hehe!"

  Who the **** is that?

  Gao Kan looked, but it was Jia Ping'an.

   No matter how good the relationship is, it will be useless waiting for the time.

  Jia Ping'an got up and said: "Mr. Yingying, the pontoon bridge will be built by our department. Naturally, our department should go first."

  Gao Kan sneered and said: "The old man has experienced countless battles, and his subordinates are like clouds. If the old man doesn't go up, you go up?"

  Boy!

   Dodge away, lest the old man kill you and splash blood on your body.

  Gao Kan's eyes were wide-eyed, with a terrifying aura.

Why!

   Someone could not help but sigh.

  Gao Kan used his qualifications and experience to crush Jia Ping'an.

  Jia Pingan said calmly: "The tall manager is a veteran, and Jia has always admired him. It's just that this boat crossing the river is not a trivial matter..."

   "Old man knows a lot." Gao Kan's hands were itchy, and he wanted to use the first battle to stimulate his subordinates.

   But Jia Pingan smiled and said: "I have been trying to build a pontoon bridge at night for a while now. The soldiers of my department took turns to get familiar with the bridge, and now there is no problem running... Senior Manager Gao, may your department go up like walking on flat ground?"

   Gao Kan's face turned green instantly.

  This kid, he actually planted the foreshadowing long ago!

   Someone was worried that Gao Kan's temper would flare up, and just about to persuade him, Gao Kan laughed.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

   Everyone was puzzled, Gao Kan and Li Ji looked at each other, and said with a smile: "Good method, I am convinced."

  The army remained motionless.

  In the middle of the night on the second day, Jia Ping'an got up and set off. He guarded the river and made people start to act.

  Boats covered with cloth stopped on the shore, and the cloth was pulled away, and the boards had already been nailed to the boats.

   "On the chain!"

   Jia Ping'an was staring at the other side.

  Damn it, don't get caught!

  Thick iron chains are worn from the first boat, and the boats are gradually connected together...

  The sound of horseshoes came from the other side. Jia Pingan waved his hand, and everyone bent down and remained motionless.

  Someone was patrolling the other bank. In the dark night, they looked at the other bank and then went downstream.

"continue!"

  The ship was about to reach the middle, and the scouts came again from the other side.

  Wen Shamen carefully dispatched scouts intensively, just because he was worried about being attacked by the Tang army.

  On the shore, Li Ji whispered: "Wen Shamen is a good opponent."

  Gao Kan nodded, "Use troops with caution."

  The ship is extending to the opposite bank, getting closer...

  On the boat, the boatmen rowed the boat busyly, and then lined up in the front, putting on the iron chain... and then rowed another boat...

   The blurry shore can already be seen with the naked eye.

   Jia Ping'an's eyes were slightly cold, "Go!"

  A team of archers went up, they bent over, and moved forward cautiously in the dark.

   Jia Pingan waved again, and a group of fierce soldiers passed by with long guns.

  He whispered: "Tell the British prince that our department is activated."

   "British Duke, Wuyang Duke has launched!"

  Li Ji looked at the east.

  At this moment, the East is still in darkness, but Li Ji knows from experience that this is the darkness before dawn.

   Light is coming to this land.

"Prepare!"

  Teams of sergeants quietly walked to the shore, follow-up... The army has finished forming and is arrayed in the darkness.

  The last boat is brought forward, and the boatmen put on chains...

   There was the sound of horseshoes not far away, getting closer.

  Boatman was a little nervous and didn't put it on several times.

"quick!"

  A boatman stepped forward and took over the matter.

  He had just put on the iron chain, and in the mist, a Goryeo cavalry rushed out...

  A ray of light suddenly appeared from the sky...

  By using this ray of light, the Goryeo cavalry discovered that there was an extra bridge in the river...

  His eyes narrowed, just about to shout.

  An arrow accurately penetrated into his throat.

  On the boat, an archer maintained the posture of shooting arrows, his eyes were cold.

  Boom!

  The cavalry fell off their horses, and the horse neighed.

  The mist was knocked away, and several armored Goryeo cavalry rushed out.

   Can't hide it anymore!

   "Shoot the arrow!"

   Arrows fly.

   "Enemy attack!"

  Amidst the shouts, the boatmen rushed to the shore frantically, and someone got the iron rod. A boatman pulled the iron chain connecting the entire pontoon bridge with all his strength, and then used an iron rod to penetrate it. The two held the iron chisel, and a burly man raised a sledgehammer.

"Hey!"

  He smashed it hard, and 30% of the iron drill was smashed into the soil.

   "Enemy attack!"

  The barracks moved, and groups of cavalry rushed over. The infantry came at a trot...

  The whole bank moved.

"quick!"

  The archers have already rushed ashore, and the enemy cavalry just appeared.

   "Shoot the arrow!"

   Both sides released arrows together, and the Koreans shot arrows at the big man who raised the sledgehammer.

   Immediately, a sergeant raised his shield to block the big man.

   A Korean man shouted: "They built a pontoon bridge with boats... That big man is fixing the chain, kill him!"

  The arrow flew again.

  The big man just raised the sledgehammer, and an arrow shot him in the ribs. His body trembled, his eyes widened...

"Hey!"

   This hammer smashed the whole iron drill into the soil.

  Deng Guan, who was commanding the defense, shouted: "Good man, take him back!"

  The two boatmen set up the big man and ran back.

  On the shore, the infantry lined up, and the Goryeo cavalry was charging...

   "Shoot the arrow!"

  Arrows fly, cavalry fall...

  The Koreans swarmed in, and with one blow, Tang Jun's thin formation was rushed out of a gap. Just when they were ecstatic, the follow-up Tang Jun came up continuously and formed a defense line again.

   across the shore.

   Jia Pingan stood on the side of the pontoon bridge in armor and shouted: "Quickly reinforce the other side!"

  The infantry trotted onto the pontoon bridge.

  The cavalry waited restlessly on the sidelines, and the general on the left wing, Wang Chong, was full of enthusiasm, "General Manager, please order me to lead the cavalry to assault."

   Jia Pingan looked at him with fierce eyes, "The boat is full of infantry, who do you want the cavalry to attack? Your mother!"

  At this moment, the situation on the other side was unclear, so he had to use infantry to build a line of defense to buy time for the army to cross the river.
