Datang Library

Chapter 843
Mingxiu plank road to cover Chen Cang secretly, this kind of strategy is indeed a good way to cross the river, but Li Mingxin can think of it, and his military division battalion formed by a group of senior brothers naturally can't think of it. It couldn't be more appropriate.

But Datang didn't have enough time, how could there be so much time left for the army to look around for the gentle river, Cheng Huaimo and others had issued military orders.

The first move for crossing the river given by the military division camp was to transport troops on bamboo rafts. Of course, they knew that the other side was ready to fight, so this was just a test for the first time. A huge bamboo raft with few soldiers was just disguised as a large troop transport ship.

Before the bamboo raft reached the opposite shore, 300 meters away, the bamboo raft was submerged by a thunderstorm covering it, leaving only a piece of fragmented wood and bamboo on the river.

"Okay, it's exactly as we expected. They used catapults to set up an ambush on the opposite side, and we couldn't get close." Hong Qianli nodded.

"In this case, let's just use the ballista to cover and destroy them. The ballista has a long range and is the nemesis of the catapult on the opposite side." Cheng Huaimo said.

"No, the function of ballistas is no secret in Tubo. First, we are not sure that there are no such things as ballistas on the opposite side. Second, this is the fast-flowing Tibetan River, and ballistas cannot be suspended like we do on the bank. Staying still in the river, even if the opponent does not fight back, just find a reasonable avoidance point, and you can avoid the ballista attack.

After our bamboo raft approaches, as long as the opponent's army is not wiped out, they will definitely fight back. In that case, our casualties will definitely not be small. It is meaningless to force a landing and cross the river with too many casualties. "

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

"Then what do you think we should do? I promised Master that I will cross the river in three days." Cheng Huaimo said anxiously.

At this time, a person came out of the military division camp, Li Yexu, grandson of Li Jing, "All the brothers and sisters watched the sky and learned that there will be heavy fog tomorrow morning."

Ha, some people didn't understand it, but more people clapped their hands and praised it directly. This is really God's help.

"Brother, how about we imitate Zhuge Wuhou and borrow arrows from a straw boat?" Hong Qianli said to Cheng Huaimo with a meaningful smile.

"Wonderful, isn't he, Li Mingxin, a self-proclaimed genius, and Li Xinzhong threatened that Tubo could create a thunderbolt?
Then we will borrow a straw boat for him to see how many thunderbolts their little Tubo has. "

Cheng Huaimo and others immediately ordered that all soldiers participate in the great cause of felling trees and building rafts, the Mohist junior presided over the construction of large rafts, and the rest of the soldiers participated in the construction of small rafts for three to five people, trying to build [-] suitable rafts before Zishi.

Li Ji looked at the busy 5 people, stroked his beard and nodded, "In short, your Three Kingdoms is really an excellent textbook for military education, and these children grow up very fast.

But are you sure that Li Mingxin on the opposite side can't see through such a trick?They were all trained by you. "

Bai Fan sat in the handsome tent and sipped tea carefully. The air pressure on the plateau was thin, and the water could not be boiled to [-] degrees Celsius, so the tea made with this kind of water was not very tasty, but it was better than nothing.

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

War, from the day Zhongnan Academy was built, is no longer something that can be fought by one person alone. Thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find. In the future, it will no longer be a factor that restricts a country's military capabilities. The military division camp is what I set up for the army With one mind, one person counts the short and the other counts the long. A group of people can always have some whimsical ideas.

Although the Li family brothers have some talent for strategy, they have never learned how to observe the sky. Among the first batch of disciples in the academy, there are only a few people with this kind of talent. "

Hearing this, Li Ji was relieved. I know the enemy but the enemy does not know me. The victory is already in our hands.

"The incident on the official road in the canyon last time, if Yuan Tianshi or Daoist Li Chunfeng followed, maybe it could have been avoided in advance."

Bai Fan laughed loudly, "Brother Mao Gong, if rumors spread that you are a marshal of the Tang Dynasty, but you place your hopes on success and failure, then you, the marshal, may be at an end."

"Hmph, as long as it's a good way to reduce the casualties of soldiers, I don't care where it comes from.

I am ashamed to say that a certain family had been a Taoist priest for a while before joining the army, but after joining the army, the calculation of Taoism has long been abandoned, and now I can only recall it. " Li Ji said awkwardly, not caring about Bai Fan's joke.

"Yeah, black cat and white cat, it's always a good cat that catches mice.

Chunfeng's nephew asked to join the army before, but I stopped them. After all, this group of people will grow up through the baptism of blood and fire. Besides, people who practice Taoism have five disadvantages and three shortcomings. I can't bear to damage a piece of beautiful Taoist jade.

On the contrary, Brother Maogong, cultivation and wealth are incompatible. If you choose to be a military commander and be rich, you will naturally lose your morality. If you were born in a peaceful and prosperous age, with your aptitude, you must be a master. "

The two were chatting, and the time soon reached midnight. Sure enough, just after midnight, the weather began to change, and fog began to rise on the surface of the river, and it had already permeated the entire river surface in a short time, which made Li Ming, who was already in a light sleep, feel relieved. He started doing it suddenly, because he felt that the air seemed to have become humid, which is very rare in the perennially dry plateau.

At this moment, there was a sudden loud drumming in the center of the river, which directly awakened the sleeping Tubo army here, and the scout observation post directly blew the horn to warn.

Li Xinzhong came out of the camp in his robes, "What's the matter? Did Tang Jun dare to cross the river at night? He underestimated us too much. We have 5000 people on duty at night, and he blew up all the bamboo rafts that came."

"No, it shouldn't be that simple. Look at the surface of 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 around the lights.

Soon, a few lights appeared in the middle of the river, that is the lights of the bamboo raft troop transport ship on the side of the Tang Dynasty, which could be vaguely seen through the fog. Drive toward the north shore.

"The catapult is ready to bomb the sky. Once the opponent's lights come into range, it will immediately cover the bombing." Li Xinzhong shouted.

But the lights of Datang seemed to have stopped, and they stayed in the center of the river. Gradually, the number of lights in the center of the river increased, and the newly added light spots were densely packed, rushing towards the other side of the river in groups, as if Like someone rowing a boat fast.

This is the catapult made by the disciples of the Mohist school using mechanical techniques. It can eject the small raft from the big raft. Following the force of the ejection, the small raft can even slide to the opposite side by itself. Of course, the premise is that no one is sitting on it. .

The Datang Army division camp will use this to borrow thunder. On the small bamboo rafts are three or two straw people, and two torches are lit for each boat.

Under the thick fog, Tubo couldn't see clearly, but the lighted boats were also enemy troops, so we couldn't just watch them cross the river. Although there were not many in twos and threes, they gathered together to form a tower, and if they all came over, it would be over.

"Fire!" Li Xinzhong shouted angrily.
