King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 381

"This..." Could this pontoon bridge really fall from the sky?Liu He was dumbfounded.

Listening carefully to the surrounding movement for a while, Sima Lang suddenly straightened his face, pointed to a place and said, "My lord, here we come!"

"Huh?" Liu He subconsciously looked towards the sky.

"My lord... My lord?" Staring at Liu He in astonishment and looking up at the sky, Sima Lang pointed his right hand at the upper reaches of the Yellow River, a little dazed.

"Cough!" Seeing Xian Yupu and Sima Lang looking at him with strange eyes, Liu He, whose face was flushed, coughed.Looking up at the upper reaches of the Yellow River, he said awkwardly, "Okay, okay, it's good to be here! I just checked the night just now, don't be discovered by Cao Jun..." As he spoke, his eyes tightened, but he said I can't go down.In the course of the Yellow River, there are more than ten huge floating boards flowing down the river, and on the bank, countless people are pulling those floating boards with iron cables to prevent the floating boards from being washed downstream due to the force of the water.

"General!" Sima Lang shouted in a low voice, pointing at those floating boards.

"Understood!" Xian Yupu cupped his fists and saluted.Dang even ran over and ordered the soldiers to tighten the iron cables on the floating boards.

In Liu He's astonished eyes, he clearly saw a pontoon bridge slowly taking shape
"This...this..." Liu He was so shocked that he couldn't even finish his sentence.

With a faint smile, Sima Lang said in a low voice. "I was ordered to build a pontoon bridge, but it's a pity that Cao Jun would not let me wait so easily. Therefore, I cut down trees in front of them and built a pontoon bridge in front of them to slow down my heart; but Cao Cao's account also has deep plans. The soldiers, I am afraid that they will see through, so I sent General Yu Po with more than [-] soldiers to pretend to be a forced crossing downstream to confuse others, so that Cao Cao sent troops to deploy heavy defenses downstream. Once the defense line was long, Cao Cao's main camp The internal defense must be relatively weak, so we can work hard at once. Take Cao Mengde's main camp! If Cao Mengde's main camp is lost, the morale of Cao's army will definitely drop, and we will win the battle!"

"Wonderful! Wonderful!" After hearing Sima Lang's detailed explanation, Liu He could only nod his head.This plan is interlocking, which is really wonderful.

"Then this pontoon..."

"Ha ha!" Smiling, Sima Lang said with a smile, "I asked General Xian Yupu to build this upriver three days ago. The pontoon bridges are divided into seven parts and connected with iron cables. I just need to pull it, and the pontoon bridge will naturally move." It can be erected. My lord, look, the iron chain is divided into two sections and four pieces, two sections are nailed here with wooden stakes, and the other section is two sections, so that General Xianyupu has to take risks. Nail the stakes and the bridge will be done!"

The more Liu He listened, the more frightened he became. He turned his head and looked at the river. Sure enough, as Sima Lang said, the pontoon bridge had already taken shape, but it was a little unsteady and wobbly in the water. Then, he saw his nephew Xian Yupu take off his armor and be careful. He walked across the pontoon bridge with the iron cables in his arms, and straightened the cables, but when he heard the pontoon bridge click, the pontoon bridge was standing upright in the river and stuck on the banks on both sides. Thick wooden piles crossed the shore on the pontoon bridge, nailed down the two iron cables, and the pontoon bridge was completed, and it took less than a cup of tea time!

"Boda!" Looking at the pontoon bridge that had been built for a while, Liu He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "It's not too late, hurry up and mobilize troops..."

"Don't worry, my lord!" However, before Liu He finished speaking, Sima Lang pointed at the camp in the distance and said with a smile, "I have entrusted this matter to General Zhang Yan! My lord, look!"

Liu He turned around and saw dark shadows coming out of his main battalion. After thinking about it, he knew the soldiers and horses under his command. He glanced at Sima Lang and sighed, "Boda is amazing, I admire him!"

"My lord, you are serious!" Sima Lang bowed his hands humbly and thanked, God help me!Watching the army under his command pass by the pontoon quietly, Liu He's face became more and more joyful. He laughed and said, "Cao Mengde, I'm afraid you and I will meet soon. It's not sure whether you will die or live by then! Hahaha!" Sima Lang also smiled.

So at the same time, Cao Cao was in the main camp, "It's almost time to calculate." Guo Jia said secretly, turned to look at Cao Hong, Le Jin, Yu Jin and others in front of him, and said in a low voice, "What I said just now, did you generals Can you hear me?"

"Military division leave at ease!" Patting his chest, he said with a smile, "This matter is on us!"

"Okay!" Guo Jia smiled slightly. I really don't know what trick you have to cross the river, but well, I will give you my main business right now!

A military adviser is not different from a general counselor in his strategy and the role of a military adviser.It's a plan!The level of resourcefulness of the counselor may not be the key to restricting the victory of the battle, so the military division is the crucial point of a battle. The two armies are fighting, in addition to competing with the generals and soldiers of both sides.It is a test of the strengths and weaknesses of the military divisions of the two sides. Sometimes, it may be just a negligence of the military divisions.It led to the defeat of a battle, Sima Lang was like this, the last time he was defeated in Hedong, Sima Lang was narrowly escaped, but Sima Lang was still dazzled by the subsequent victory, he didn't know his own strategy, how could he compare with him? From now on, Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others under his command, Sima Lang is still too anxious, too anxious to express himself, and to gain power through meritorious deeds. In this way, he is doomed to fail...

The night was very deep, under the slightly hazy moonlight.A group of men and horses were stationed on a high slope, and the leading general looked at the dim distance with a solemn face. This person was Cao Hong, who was the vanguard!

"The military adviser said that Liu He would send troops to attack our camp. Could it be possible to fly over from the sky?" Cao Hong felt a little ridiculous. Don't forget that every two hours, I would go to the Yellow River to check on Liu He's construction. The speed of the pontoon.Could it be that in just two hours, he, Liu He, could build a pontoon bridge?But I don't believe it!
Facts also proved that just now after Guo Jia finished speaking, others swore to accept the task, but Cao Hong remained silent, but he couldn't figure it out, how could the army cross the Yellow River?However, out of the kindness of Guo Jia's pleading for him yesterday, Cao Hong chose to accept the order, but Cao Hong felt that even if Zhao Jun really crossed the Yellow River, his mission would be very sad, and he could only lose, not win...

Anyway, it was my duty to patrol outside at night.All I need to do is to follow the military division's instructions and lead the army to the place designated by the military division, and then the time will be over. When I am about to be ugly, except for the occasional whistling wind, there is no abnormality in the surrounding area.

"General" Cao Hong's deputy, Wang Er, stepped forward and said, "Is it true that the army will sneak across the river and pass here?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Cao Hong rolled his eyes and shouted in a low voice. "Since we are here to take orders, even if the army never came, you will stay with me until dawn!"

"No!" Wang Er's face straightened, and he clasped his fists in response...

But having said that, Cao Hong became a little impatient as time went by. Also, anyone who stood aimlessly in one place would always feel irritable. With sparse sounds, Cao Hong's eyes froze, and he was about to shout, but he found several people emerging from the grass, and it was he who sent the scouts.

"General Qi didn't notice any abnormalities!" those Cao soldiers walked up to Cao Hong and said respectfully.

"Well, go down and rest first!" Cao Hong nodded, then turned to his lieutenant general and said, "Wang Er, send another pair of soldiers to investigate!"

"Promise!" Wang Er clasped his fists in response, pointed to a few soldiers and told them to go out for inspection, then turned around and said to Cao Hong, "General, this is the fourth call, why don't I go to the Yellow River to see if the army is ready?" Build a floating bridge, okay?"

"Stupid!" Cao Hong curled his lips and said with a smile, "The banks of the Yellow River stretch for hundreds of miles. How big is Liu He's pontoon bridge? Is it possible that I'm going to investigate all the way there? What if I leave this place, but the army is here?" , do you still want the eating guy on your item?"

"Eh..." Wang Er heard the words and thought of military law.Feeling a bit chilly on the neck, said smugly. "Then...then I'll just wait until dawn..."

"Hey!" Cao Hong laughed strangely, sat down along the tree trunk, put his head in his hands, and said with his eyes closed. "I'll recharge my batteries for the time being, wait until you're ready, and wake me up immediately if there's any sign of trouble!" Wang Er's eyelids twitched, and he was speechless for a moment......

"General!" After a short rest, suddenly, Wang Er pointed to a place in the distance and said, "The soldiers are back!"

"Well, send again!" Cao Hong subconsciously said, "Send people to investigate non-stop until dawn!"

"General, general!" Wang Er was about to obey the order.Those Cao soldiers who came back suddenly ran straight to Cao Hong, clasped their fists and said anxiously, "General, ten miles ahead, I found a group of soldiers and horses that were not from our army. They came straight to this place. Well, I'm afraid it's only three miles away. Five miles away!"

"What?" Cao Hong's eyes froze, he lowered his head in thought, and asked intently, "How many soldiers and horses are there?"

"I don't dare to come near, I only visit from a distance. It seems to be no less than three to fifty thousand!" Cao Bing said with his fists clasped...

Thirty to fifty thousand?Could it be really Zhao Jun?Could it be that it was really counted by the military adviser, and Zhao Jun really crossed the Yellow River?Cao Hong was startled.Turning around, he shouted to his lieutenant general, "Wang Er, inform the soldiers and act according to plan!"

"No!" Wang Er didn't dare to be negligent, and went down to prepare immediately, if he was really counted by the military advisor... The military advisor is not easy...

A clever strategy is a clever strategy, and the victory lies in being caught by surprise!That is to say in the military book that soldiers are expensive and fast!Sima Lang used his troops all from books, unlike Li Lin, who used his brain that transcended thousands of years, plus some understanding of the Three Kingdoms, as well as the accumulated experience of many years of fighting. It doesn't mean that Sima Lang doesn't know how to use soldiers, but it shouldn't be used in such a large-scale battle......
