Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 57
"Commander, the general feels that we can't give Jiziying a chance to breathe." Long Zhi said to Tian Bao again: "Commander, order the whole army to go up and down, everyone to do it, and try to build rafts and shields in the shortest time. Strive for a successful crossing in one fell swoop, and wipe out all the Jizi camps."

Tian Bao nodded and shouted loudly: "Within two days, this commander will see enough rafts to carry our entire army across the river. Who dares to be passive and sabotage, don't blame this commander for turning his face and denying people. Also, the shield must be built quickly, You must be fully prepared!"

Hearing the words, all the marshals clasped their hands and said, "Follow the command of the marshal!"

With a sound of "Pa!", Tian Bao slammed the blood-stained crossbow on the desk, and the crossbow broke in two and fell to the ground.He roared angrily: "Tian Bao has been on the battlefield for more than [-] years, and has never been so humiliated. If you don't destroy the Valley of Banished Immortals, don't destroy your family, seal the thunder and smash your corpse into thousands of pieces, and destroy your bones, this commander will never withdraw!"

Hearing this, the handsome man present breathed heavily.Tian Bao hadn't been so humiliated, how could they have?You must know that Tian Jiajun's strength is above average in ghosts and myths. Apart from not being able to offend the Dabaqi living army, he is also a character who walks sideways among ghosts and myths.Ji Ziying is very good at attracting hatred. First, Feng Lei alone singled out the top ten heroes of the Tian family army, beating the top ten heroes to three deaths, one disability and six injuries.This Chou Tian's family army has not reported yet, and as a result, nearly 400 people from Yang Suowen's department were killed by others. What is even more hateful is that they actually stripped the corpses clean, and did not even give them a rag to cover up their shame. They stay.

Uncle can bear it, but aunt can't bear it!

At this time, the Tian family's army worked together, and the whole army worked together, those who felled trees felled trees, those who built rafts built rafts, and those who made shields also made shields.The heavy shield mentioned by Longzhi should be a long shield in terms of appearance, and it is specially used for infantry, and the standards of different dynasties have been different.

The Eastern Jin-style long shield is about six feet high (1.4 meters high, the ruler in this book is 23 centimeters, and will not be explained later) and is about three feet six inches wide. There is a groove on the top of the shield, which can be put in the spear Used to stop cavalry.There are two types of shield surface: Mongolian cowhide and iron cover.To prevent the enemy's weapons from being injured by arrows and stones, it is usually used in conjunction with knives, swords and other weapons.It is made of gun wood, zhe wood, iron heart wood or 椆 wood. After air drying, it is light and hard.

However, the Tian family did not have the conditions to make regular shields at this time, and it was impossible to cover cowhide and iron.However, the ancient Chinese people were quite smart. Without these conditions to make shields, and did not want to weaken the destructive power of the shields, the only way to do so was to thicken the shields.Well, the Eastern Jin standard long card weighs only 36 catties, plus the soldiers hold nine catties of ring swords, and the whole body weighs no more than 45 catties.However, the shields made by Tian Jiajun are as thick as four inches, which is comparable to a butcher's cutting board for chopping bones. If it is thicker, it should be thicker.

Needless to say the weight, you can figure it out after a little brainstorming.A shield weighed more than eighty kilograms, and it was difficult for a strong man to hold it with one hand, but it was inconvenient to walk with both hands.There are as many pits as there are pits.However, for the sake of his own life, these shields are still in short supply.

While Tian's army was busy building rafts and shields, preparing for the forced crossing and attack, Hu Guang's troops were not idle.They also felled trees with the seized knives and axes. Of course, Hu Guang didn't make a raft to cross the river to find Tian's army's troubles, but a temporary camp.A chest-high tree trunk with a thick bowl mouth is buried in the soil, and then a wooden stake is built every two or three steps. After the wooden stake is placed, a trench is dug around the wooden stake. Smash it in the middle of the wooden piles to form a wall of earth.

With 500 people working together, the earthen wall and trench are also rapidly lengthening.

The soldiers of the Tian Family Army who saw this scene couldn't help but yelled: "You are too shameless, do you still want to show your face? How can we attack back and forth, divide and surround you if you do this?"

Of course, for such a mentally handicapped question, Hu Guang was too lazy to answer, so as not to waste his saliva.Seeing Tian's army swearing across the river, the former soldiers of the dead barracks rushed too hard.When the soldiers of the dead army expanded, almost all the original households were recruited, that is, farmers who reclaimed wasteland. Civil engineering work was their strong point for them, and this job was done very smoothly.

When Hu Guang was digging trenches and building earthen walls, he found that there were no temporary barracks built in the camp, and they did not bring tents. How could this be so? Although the weather is hot at this time, the sun will be very strong tomorrow, which is simply unbearable. If you don't rest well, how can you fight a good battle?
Therefore, Hu Guang ordered people to cut down more than two feet of tree poles, support them at the four corners, and then cut the reeds on the bank and put them on top to form a shack that can block the sun and let the wind pass through.

In such a temporary barracks, the soldiers of the dead army built two rows of barracks nearly a hundred paces long, and it was more than enough for five hundred soldiers to roll around and sleep.At three o'clock every time, except for the soldiers who stayed behind to watch, the soldiers of the dead army returned to the barracks to take a nap, while Tian Jiajun watched them drooling and doing heavy physical work under the scorching sun. After a period of time, I was a small construction worker on the construction site, and my memory was very deep).

Confucius said: "Don't worry about the few, but the unevenness." This is actually a very philosophical sentence. If there is no comparison, there will be no gap. Seeing that the enemy on the opposite side is lying on the ground and sleeping naked, they have to be under the whip of each leader. After working, the mood of the whole person is very bad.Especially looking at the soldiers of the dead army with white noodles and rice covered with a piece of salted fish every day, the soldiers of the Tian family army felt very hurt in their hearts, and soon developed serious sabotage and dissatisfaction.

The same begging army, why is there such a big gap?

There is a saying that the ass decides the head, but when the nine heroes of the Tian family army saw this scene, their eyes showed a greedy green light, just like a hungry wolf seeing a sheep. "Eat so well, dress so well, and use such excellent armor, it seems that Banished Immortal Valley is really rich, and it will finally get rich!"

Under Hu Guang's random fiddle, a semi-permanent camp is being built rapidly.

On the third day, early in the morning, Tian's army had built two or three hundred rafts and five or six hundred heavy shields.Tian Bao looked at the equipment with a sneer on his face: "It doesn't matter if you can fight in Jiziying, we just bully you with too many people and you have few people. With these heavy shields in hand, you don't need to fight, and you can be exhausted even if you are tired! "

Tian Bao rushed to a guard beside him and said, "Cross the river, tell them to join the Ziying camp, and ask them to surrender immediately, otherwise, when the commander-in-chief steps down the Valley of Banished Immortals, no one will be left behind."
