Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 487
In the next ten days, as long as Liu Wei played on the bank of the Yishui River, Yuan Shao would definitely appear on the other side of the river within the time of a cup of tea, and then he would taunt Liu Wei.

Liu Wei was a little angry in the first few days, and would scold Yuan Shao a few words, but later Liu Wei got used to it and ignored Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao stopped mocking Liu Wei after he made fun of himself a few times.

Sixteen days later, Liu Wei finally got his beloved baby... artillery!
But Zhang He was even more ruthless, and brought fifty artillery pieces in one go, even Liu Wei's enhanced Italian cannon.

"His grandma, he can finally take revenge!"

Liu Wei spat bitterly, and then told Yang Jindao to go to the barracks to find soldiers who could dive.

Yang Jindao searched the barracks and found more than 1 soldiers who could swim.

"I'll go! Why are you looking for so many people!"

Liu Wei was also taken aback when he saw more than 1 soldiers outside the camp.

"My lord, what you said is to find soldiers who can swim! I asked each camp one by one!"

Yang Jindao was honest and answered truthfully.

"Leave a thousand strong ones, and let the rest go back!"

Liu Wei said.

"Here!"

After a while, there were a thousand strong soldiers left in front of Liu Wei.

Liu Wei asked Zhang He who was beside him again: "Did I ask you to bring all the things you asked for from Ma Jun?"

"Brought it, it has loaded several large carts!"

Zhang He pointed to the big box on the side and said.

"Ok!"

Liu Wei nodded, and then asked Yang Jindao: "Have you finished building the stone piers on the shore?"

"After it's built, there are a hundred piers, and none of them is missing! Each of them can bear a thousand catties of weight!"

Yang Jindao replied.

"it is good!"

Liu Wei nodded, and then ordered a thousand soldiers to be divided into fifty groups of twenty people in each group.Each group was led by two [-]-meter-long large iron chains and two half-meter-long pointed iron rods.

After the division was over, Liu Wei looked at the thousand confused soldiers in front of him and said, "Tonight, I have an important task for you. This matter is related to whether we can defeat Yuan Shao!"

Hearing what Liu Wei said, the 1000 people immediately became serious and looked at Liu Wei intently.

Liu Wei said to them: "The military division has already calculated. There will be heavy fog at midnight tonight. You tie one end of the chain to the stone pier we have already built, and then swim to the other side with the other end, and put the iron bar on the other side. Put it on the shore, tie the iron rod to the iron rod, and then hold the chain tightly in groups of ten!"

Although they didn't understand what Liu Wei was going to do, all the soldiers nodded in unison.

Zhang Yun saw what Liu Wei was going to do, so he asked, "My lord wants to...!"

Before Zhang Yun finished speaking, Liu Wei nodded: "That's right, I'm going to use this iron chain to build a pontoon bridge!"

After a pause, Liu Wei said again: "In order to prevent the soldiers on the opposite side from being unable to grasp the iron chain, you must mobilize another thousand soldiers to support the iron chain in the river to prevent the artillery from falling into the river!"

"Here!"

Zhang Yun's blood was also boiling with enthusiasm. He didn't expect Liu Wei to figure out a way to cross the river so quickly.

"Gao Qiang!"

"The end is here!"

Gao Qiang stood up. He thought that Liu Wei wanted to practice soldiers, and this time the battle would have nothing to do with their artillery battalion.But I didn't expect Liu Wei to use their artillery battalion again so soon.

"Have you collected all the half-meter-wide and two-meter-long boards I asked you to collect?"

"My lord, I have collected them all!"

Gao Qiang answered.

"Okay, distribute the wooden planks to the soldiers. When the iron chain is pulled up, you quickly spread wooden planks on the iron chain, and then no one is allowed to go on the bridge except the soldiers who push the artillery and transport the ammunition!"

Liu Wei opened his mouth and ordered.

"Here!"

"Notice, after the artillery crosses the river, all the battalions will cross the river. Tonight, we must take down Yuan Jun's camp and gain a foothold on the south bank of the Yishui River!"

"Here!"

Liu Wei gave an order, and everyone acted.

On the other hand, the generals in Yuan Jun's camp, because the Liaozhou Army hadn't moved for more than half a month, they all became comfortable and their defenses were a little lax.

At night.

"My lord, the time has come!"

Yang Jindao said to Liu Wei.

"Go!"

Following Liu Wei's order, thousands of soldiers fastened the chains and jumped into the icy Yishui River with the other end of the chains.On the other side of the river, spy Yuan Jun couldn't see anything clearly because of the fog on the river.Even some of Yuan Jun's scouts relaxed and stopped looking at Yishuihe.

In the time of a cup of tea, the iron chains of the Liaozhou Army were fixed on the south bank of the Yishui River, and a hundred iron chains were laid across the Yishui River.

"Artillery Battalion, plank!"

Seeing the iron chain being pulled up, Liu Wei spoke again.

Thousands of soldiers from the Artillery Battalion quietly walked into the Yishui River with planks, and laid the planks on the iron chains.Liu Wei asked Gao Qiang to make four holes in the wooden boards. After laying the wooden boards on the iron chains, he inserted a long nail into them to fix the wooden boards and connect the wooden boards with the iron chains to prevent the wooden boards from falling off. into the water.

After a while, the wooden planks were also laid, but Yuan Jun Tanma on the opposite side didn't notice it at all.

"Gao Qiang!"

Liu Wei called Gao Qiang again, Gao Qiang understood, and ordered the artillerymen to push the cannon onto the pontoon bridge, but Liu Wei was afraid that the cannon would be unstable, so he ordered someone to tie a rope to the cannon, with two soldiers on each side pulling it to prevent the cannon from moving. fell into the water.

The soldiers pulling the iron chain on the other side of the river felt a pulling force after the cannon was on the bridge, and hurriedly exerted all their strength to hold the iron chain tightly to ensure that the cannon could cross the river smoothly.

But even with all these protections, six cannons fell into the river.

After the cannon passed two-thirds of the pontoon bridge, Liu Wei shouted to Gao Shun: "Boping leads the trapped camp to attack!"

"Here!"

As soon as Liu Wei gave an order, Gao Shun jumped into the icy river with the soldiers trapped in the camp, and swam to the opposite bank.

"One two, hey!"

After the first cannon was pulled up to the south bank of Yishui River, the artillerymen of the Liao army were discovered by the scouts on the south bank of Yishui River.

"who!"

"You idiot, who are you, the enemy attacked! Hurry up and report to the King of Jin (Yuan Shao proclaimed himself King of Jin, as mentioned earlier)!"

"Here!"

The group of scouts didn't dare to stay too long, and hurriedly shot three rockets into the sky, and then rode their horses and ran desperately in the direction of Yuan Jun's camp.

"One two, hey!"

"One two, hey!"

"One two, hey!"

"...!"

All the remaining artillery came ashore, and Gao Shun also led the trapped camp to land, and then the trapped camp opened the way, followed by the artillery battalion, heading towards Yuan Jun's camp.
