Qin Dynasty Novelist

Zhang Han was wearing light black light armor, carrying a long sword on his back, and waving his palm at the man. This was within his expectations. Since he wanted to cross the river, he must find the narrowest area.

It's really fitting there...

However, with a width of only [-] feet, too many ships would not be needed. With the methods of the Mohists, if there is no obstacle, it will be easy to build the pontoon bridge. At that time, the follow-up [-] troops can come quickly.

Hearing this, the scout saluted and quickly retreated.

"What do you think?"

In the military tent, in addition to Zhang Han, the garrison general of the six gates, there are also the original guards of the six gates, generals and Sima, who are all in armor and standing around the sand table. , I can't stop looking at it.

"General Zhang, now that the Xiongnu and other vanguards want to cross the river, we will naturally suppress them with our strong bows and crossbows, so that the pontoon bridge cannot be built!"

One person pointed to the main point of the big river on the sand table, but it was the narrowest point.

It is not so easy to build a pontoon bridge on a [-]-foot-wide river. Even with the help of the Mohists, if they really want to stop it, at least in a short period of time, they will never succeed.

Even if you succeed, you will not have to pay a huge price.

"In addition, the general thought that most of the Huns grew up on the grasslands and were not familiar with water. We can choose soldiers who are proficient in water in the army to destroy those boats on the pontoon bridge."

"The [-] troops can't all rush into Zhongwei City at once. Moreover, Longxi is rich in fire oil, and the pontoon bridge on the big river is quite conspicuous. Directly attack it with fire."

For many years, sitting in Liuguan, Beidi County, a general of the army naturally has his own ability. Hearing Zhang Han's words, he dare not slack off. In Zhongwei City not far behind, Wu Zhenhou himself.

There is a saying before, if there is merit, all will fall, if there is loss, no one can escape.

So, how dare you not rack your brains.

"The last general thought that with the location of the big river, the water attack method used when the three families of the Jin Dynasty destroyed Zhi Boyao could also be used. The source of the big river can be traced back to the side of Jingyuan City, and a high embankment can be built to accumulate water potential. Sure enough, when the time comes, the Xiongnu forcefully builds a pontoon bridge, and the water can also directly wash it away!"

Someone whispered that the battle on both sides of the river would naturally require a water attack. In any case, the [-] troops west of the river would have to pay a huge price if they wanted to cross the river.

Maybe... they will come over in the end, but they have to weigh whether it's worth it.

"The last general thought that the words of the generals were enough to deal with the Xiongnu who built a pontoon bridge and wanted to cross the river. In addition, the Huns did not care about the cost and forcibly crossed the river. Then, we can also use the big river as the boundary. , Lay down the line of defense."

"Trench excavation, dense traps, supplemented by other strategies, the general thinks that those Huns want to really come to Zhongwei City without the price of tens of thousands of people, it is absolutely impossible!"

One person came out, looked at the other people beside him, and smiled slightly. Since he wanted to defend, then... there must be a defensive strategy. Zhongwei City is a hundred miles away from that narrow place.

It is easy to deploy more than three lines of defense.

"very good."

"I probably can't think of these things, that's all. Let's lead troops and horses to stop them."

A smile flashed on Zhang Han's face, those strategies can be used, as long as they are effective, they can be used.

The Huns have a total of [-] troops. If they really want to forcibly cross the river, it will not be difficult. I am afraid that tens of thousands of people will have to pay the price, and Zhongwei City has already deployed defensive strategies.

Just wait for the Huns and others to come.

Sure enough, being able to defend it is a great achievement.

The words fell, and the final round was set.

"Here!"

"..."

All the generals clasped their fists together and saluted, and went on according to the previous instructions.

******

"Juzi, there is news from ahead that when a vanguard team of [-] people wanted to build a pontoon bridge in the narrowest part of the river, they were blocked by the army of the Qin State. They suffered heavy losses and many wooden boats were damaged."

Only a hundred miles away from Zhongwei City, a mighty army of [-] troops marched along the road on the edge of the desert. Teams of [-] or [-] people seemed to be in disarray, and everything was self-contained.

Zhang Jingfang is one of the leaders of the Mohist school. He was originally a disciple of the Youshi School of the Mohist School in Qi State. He followed the giant to the west of the Dahe. After nearly a year, he finally got something. Seeing the return of the scouts of the army at this moment, he came to find out a little bit and report back.

"The great river is as famous as the Great River of Chu in the Xia Dynasty. Even though it is narrow, it is not easy to cross."

"Jingfang, you can go there later."

I had considered the method of crossing the great river before, and had already made a decision. Although there was a price to be paid, but... it was delusional to want to cross the river without paying the price.

The method of crossing the river has been told to Jing Fang, and Lu Zhenlang, who is wrapped in black clothes, is also worry-free.

"Yes, giant."

Zhang Jingfang nodded his head in agreement, although he was a bit reluctant, but... After all, Mohist disciples had shed too much blood in Beidi County.

Not long after that, as expected by the giant, the envoy of King Youxian of the Xiongnu came and summoned the Mo family to go.

The giant had no time to pay attention, so Zhang Jingfang and the two Mohist disciples went there.

Half an hour later, the three of them joined another team of ten thousand people and hurried to the place where the big river was, wanting to quickly build a pontoon bridge for the incoming army.

"Commander, although the river here is narrow, it is no less than thirty feet long when viewed visually, which is already rare in the hinterland of the Central Plains!"

Three hours later, the Mohist and the Xiongnu vanguard, who were the first to walk to the river, looked at each other and talked to each other.

Although the language of the Huns is not proficient, the simple rhyme is still clear.

"Here... is already the westernmost side of the border of the Qin State, with the double protection of the Great River and the Great Wall. Whether it is the Xiongnu, or the Yuezhi, Wusun Kingdom, it is very difficult to invade Beidi County and Longxi County."

"If the army wants to attack Zhongwei City, it must cross the river!"
