I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 316

The Chu army on the south bank of the Weishui River began to prepare to cross the river, and the news from "Gaoling" also came, saying that the Qin army had begun to fight the Jin army.

"How's the battle going?"

"Returning to the eldest son, the two armies lined up on the west side of the 'Gaoling' to fight. The sound of drums shook the sky, and the chariots criss-crossed. Thousands of casualties were caused by each other."

Zhiyao started to get a little confused, did they join forces to plot against Zhishi?

If this time it is really a few families united with foreign forces, with the current speed of information communication, coupled with the issue of mutual trust, so many forces will unite, whoever is in charge can convince the public, and how close is it? Contact, especially without being noticed?
If they really join forces, they will fight. If a confrontation involves thousands of casualties each, the leader may not care. What kind of explanation should the people below give?
Zhiyao, who carries the memories of his previous life, was actually born in a mother’s womb, and grew up in the environment of the Spring and Autumn Period. Some thoughts are different from those of today’s people, and he is familiar with the customs and three views of the Spring and Autumn Period. of.

There are quite a lot of similar things, especially in the Spring and Autumn Period.

It can even be said that in the Spring and Autumn Period, as long as the king of a country or the head of the family who can make up his mind agrees with something, it does not need to be based on the feelings of the people underneath compared to other eras.

The fact is that, for example, Zhishi is fighting with the Qi State, one day Zhishen suddenly said that he wants to live in peace with the Qi State, the people below are stunned, and they will faithfully carry out the orders from the Patriarch no matter how unconvinced they are.

Therefore, in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States chapters of Zhuxia's historical chapters, some social structures and other aspects may be backward, but the executive power is the most exaggerated era in Zhuxia's historical chapters.Regarding this point, hundreds of thousands of troops can be pulled out at every turn through mobilization, and you can basically see how the execution is nearby.

"Don't start a fire, don't make loud noises, and pay close attention to the movements of the Chu army!"

"promise!"

Zhi Shi is staring at Chu Jun, and he also needs to hide.

They can make fires and cook meals in other places, and it’s just a matter of transporting the steamed buns and soup back. It’s just that they can’t make fires at night. They have lived with the Chu army for more than ten days across the Weishui River. It doesn’t seem like they were discovered by the Chu army. look like.

The Chu army was cutting down timber wantonly, and Zhi's scouts also discovered that the Chu army was exploring in Weishui by boat.

It is not only to find out which section of the river has relatively gentle water flow, but also to find out where the tidal flats are suitable for landing, and then to decide where is the most suitable place to build bridges, and so on.

bridge?Yes, it is a bridge.

Don't think that in the Spring and Autumn Period, people did not master the technology of erecting pontoon bridges.

If it is said that many countries in the Central Plains do not know how to build various bridges, Chu State and Wu State will be in a relatively leading position in terms of the limitations of the times in terms of related technologies.

That is, there are too many river systems in the area where Chu State and Wu State are located, and they can’t travel by boat or boat. Some bridges that need to be built must be built, otherwise how to expand and then effectively rule ?

"Chu people are good at water, and they also have the skill of building bridges with driftwood." Zhiyao was watching a group of Chu soldiers busy.

These Chu soldiers had many newly built boats and rafts. They laid wooden piles in the shallower places of the river bed, and used the boats or rafts as buoyancy in the deeper places. Long wooden rafts of different thicknesses are laid on the top, and six pontoon bridges are slowly forming.

For modern people, even if they have never done the work of erecting a pontoon bridge, they must understand the basic common sense. They can definitely master it after repeated experiments and successfully erect the pontoon bridge.

However, erecting pontoon bridges was a "secret skill" in the Spring and Autumn Period!

"Wait, watch it carefully."

"only!"

Lao Zhi's family really didn't have a subject about erecting pontoon bridges, the main reason being that they were rarely used.

It’s not a joke, but it seems to be a joke. Most of the countries in the Central Plains approach rivers. Once the river section here can’t pass, it’s a big deal to find a shoal that can pass. After the first time and the second time, the enemy will cross the river. It's all clear, and it's fine to stand there when defending.

Are there many countries that have mastered the technology of building bridges across rivers?It refers to the kind of bridge-building technology with a river width of more than [-] meters, which can be used for a long time after completion.

To be honest, there are really few countries that have mastered the construction of permanent bridges with a river width of tens of meters, hundreds of meters, or hundreds of meters.

The strange thing is that Chu State and Wu State also don't have that kind of technology, and the only one who has the relevant technology is Qin State!
In the "Kundu" of Jin State, there is a stone bridge across Fenshui River.And this bridge was built under the supervision of a certain son of the Qin State. It has provided Jin people with convenience for hundreds of years, and it is still in use today.

What's even more strange is that there is no bridge that spans more than [-] meters across the river in Qin State.

"Zongzi, the Chu army has built six bridges, and the progress is very urgent." Zhi Lin is one of the people who have begun to show their talents in the new generation.

Zhiyao still hopes that someone from the tribe can come forward, provided that the blood relationship of this tribe is far away from Zhishen.

It's not that Zhiyao has too deep a dark psychology, it's purely a necessary precaution under the clan model.

Under the clan model, the closer the blood relationship with the current patriarch, the easier it is to do things in a reasonable and reasonable way. What Zhiyao wants to do does not allow any obstacles in the family.

Why did Zhiyao come here to watch Chu Jun's bridge building in person?It's not that there is no one in the Zhi family who can see the progress of the bridge construction. He needs to come and see for himself, and then speculate when the Chu army will be able to erect the floating bridge.

Some soldiers of the Chu army are going to the north bank of the Wei River.

"Retire." Zhi Yao turned around and left after speaking.

If the Chu army wanted to cross the river, they definitely couldn't just rush in. It was inevitable to send people to the north bank of the Weishui River to investigate first.

Zhiyao returned to the camp and summoned all the officers, saying: "The Chu army will cross the river within seven days. If there is no accident, then is the time for us to attack."

Everyone's expressions immediately became serious.

Cheng Wu asked: "I don't know how the battle in 'Gaoling' is going?"

Anyway, it would not be Zhiyao who answered in person.

The fighting that broke out in "Gaoling" has lasted for six days. There was a fierce collision on the first day, and the intensity of the subsequent fighting can only be said to be tepid.

Qin State gave the reason for the invitation to hunt, saying that the Xie family was willing to move their family to live in Qin State, and the rest of the Jin family's interception and killing of the Xie family was very unreasonable.

In order to scold Jin, Qin also took Jin as an example of accepting Hou Jin's "Five Clan Rebellion".

In addition, the Tibetan soldiers who originally hid in the mountains of the Northland showed up.

Sure enough, it was Zhao Wuxie who led the army in person. The Zhao family came with two "divisions" of troops, Bai Zhai with about 2 horses, and Lou Nairen with nearly [-] people. The total is about [-] coalition troops.

They didn't rush to the "Gaoling" battlefield, and went directly towards Luoshui after they appeared, making no secret of their intention to cut off the Jin army's retreat.

A series of battle situations started to make Zhiyao wonder if she was thinking too much.

However, one day Qin Jun doesn't fight with Han's troops, it will still make Zhiyao suspicious.

Zhiyao's suspicious state will not disappear, on the contrary, it will affect the direction of subsequent foreign exchanges because of the emergence of a thought.

Of course, although Zhiyao was in a suspicious state, what he did was still a serious matter, and he did not lead the army to retreat because of uncertainty. What he had to do was to deal with the Chu army first.

A few days passed by in a blink of an eye.

The Chu army built the bridge faster than Zhiyao had guessed. It took them [-] days to construct the bridge, assuming six pontoon bridges from the south bank of the Weishui River to the north bank.

"Start at Yinshi, and attack at five o'clock. If the Chu army is still in the north at Maoshi, take the second and third sons!"

"The pontoon bridge must not be damaged! Just as cavalry cannot cross the river by the bridge, light troops crossing the river and the army on the south bank will hold back the Chu army."

"For this attack, the right time and place are all up to me."

"This battle must be won!"

You don't think Zhiyao just watches these days, do you?
There is absolutely no doubt that the Chu army will go to the north bank of the Weishui River.

Zhiyao wanted to fight halfway, so how could he not have sent troops to go to the south bank of the Wei River to find a place to hide from the shoals of other river sections.

The so-called half-crossing attack is really not as simple as waiting for the enemy to cross the river to launch an attack on the bank. Find out the enemy's intentions and keep an eye on when to cross the river. An indispensable step is to let one of your troops hide in the river. On the other side where the enemy is!

If there is only an army on one side of the bank, the action carried out should be called a beachhead blockade, and it is not a half-cross attack at all.

Zhiyao didn't plan to participate in the battle in person, and she might not even watch the battle with her own eyes. She would just stay in the tent and deploy or increase troops in certain areas in a timely manner according to the reported battle situation.

There are knowledgeable people in the Chu army, not only scouting in advance the area of ​​more than [-] miles around the tidal flat that is going to cross the river, but also choose a day with enough moonlight for a few days.

They started to cross the river early in the morning. The first batch of Chu troops to cross the river was about 3000 people. When they came to the north bank of the Weishui River, some soldiers immediately occupied the favorable terrain, while others cleared the surrounding vegetation.

Going to favorable terrain first must be to prevent being attacked.

Clear the surrounding vegetation, such as trees, bushes, weeds, etc., to prevent fire from burning easily, and to make the field of vision more open.

It took about an hour for the [-] Chu troops to arrive at the north bank of the Wei River, followed by another Chu army of about [-], and then the supply team.

The first day passed, and there were about [-] Chu troops who came to the north bank of the Weishui River. They were busy and nervous during the day, and each of them felt completely exhausted.

There will definitely be some on duty, but the spirit is not good, and the spilled scouts have not found any abnormalities around them, so it is inevitable that they will be more lax.

In the middle of the night, when the moon moved to the west and it came at [-]:[-] a.m., some of the Chu soldiers on duty heard a strange sound while they were drowsy, and then felt the ground under their feet trembling slightly, and fell asleep suddenly. Most of it.

"Earth Dragon turned over?"

No, it's Chi's cavalry coming!
