Chapter 323: Preset Battlefield


Is it true that the wood is thrown into the river to cause a blockage, and then the buoyancy of the wood is used to erect a pontoon bridge with nailed planks, which can be said to be or not, how can things be so simple?

In a less complicated direction, the erection of a pontoon bridge really requires buoyancy from wood, which can be carried by boat or boat.

The problem was that Yao Yizhong did not have enough boats or boats to block the river, and he spent so much effort on one purpose, that is, to prevent the Han army's ships from affecting the army's river crossing.

Just imagine, the river is full of floating logs, and even some sections of the river have flammable materials such as hay placed on top of the logs, and there is nothing wrong with that, just to block and set fires conveniently.

The erection of any pontoon bridge will not be simple, and casualties in the construction are inevitable, especially for people who are not good at water, but the engineering casualties necessary for a military goal are nothing.

It should be said that the casualties paid by blocking the river with floating objects and erecting a sufficiently exaggerated pontoon bridge with nailed wooden planks are far worse than using boats as a foothold to build a pontoon bridge to reduce the casualties of Yao Yizhong's men.

"Still no Han ships have been found" "Yes, Master."

"The Han army did not prevent us from crossing the river either" "At the moment, nothing like this has been found."

Yao Yizhong really confirmed that the Han army was really waiting for the Qiang army to cross the river, and it was too obvious.

When they erected the pontoon bridge to the middle of the river, according to the previous information, the Han army had a strong crossbow with enough range to block, but the Han army did not do that, the Han army watched the Qiang army doing business, and did not react at all.

Of course, there were Han troops on the south bank of the Yellow River, but what the Han troops were doing were watching along the river, and they did not find any other defense lines.

This phenomenon is completely abnormal, so weird that Yao Yizhong is uneasy in his heart, and he always feels that the Han army has dug a huge pit waiting for them to jump into it.

If the Han army blocked the Qiang army and caused casualties to the Qiang army in the industry, even if it was a major casualty, Yao Yizhong would not be surprised, and he even felt that this was a matter of course.

On the contrary, it was the Han army that did nothing that made Yao Yizhong extremely uneasy, which stemmed from anxiety and fear of the unknown situation.

"Is there any sign of a large-scale movement of the Han army?"

"Not yet."

Yao Yizhong's brows furrowed as fast as a twisted vine, and he had the intention to stop crossing the river, but he couldn't make a decision.

Didn't the Qiang army disappear part of the previous about 50,000 Qiang army actually detoured to the direction of Sizhou, and crossed the bridge there to the south bank of the Yellow River, and after they joined Sun Fudu's troops, the two armies approached the Han army in Dongping County.

According to the information obtained by Yao Yizhong, the Han army in Dongping County was close to 30,000, and the leader was the lord of the gate lord who defected to the Han from the south of the Yangtze River, and the original patriarch of the Huan clan was called Huan Wen.

According to the military system of the Han army, as a partial general, the headquarters of Huan Wen will only have 10,000 soldiers, so the remaining 20,000 Han troops should be second-line troops such as auxiliaries, servant troops, and new annexed troops.

In addition to Kaihuan Wen in Dongping County, near the direction of Jishui there was also Wang Pu, who was an official lieutenant, who led 5,000 Han troops and the same number of second-line troops, and was located thirty miles north of Huanwen's headquarters.

Shijie Zhao's reconnaissance cavalry and meticulous work could not find out what this Han army was doing, only knew that it was a large-scale civil engineering project on the edge of Jishui.

Yao Yizhong's request to Sun Fudu was to let the friendly forces on this line of Dongping County pose enough threat to the Han army, and lead the Han forces here, so that they could not gallop north to help the Yellow River.

In addition to Sun Fudu's side, Yao Yizhong also sent people to Yuzhou, and asked Liu Min and Lu Yong to cooperate as the governor of the ten counties and the six Yi capitals and the champion general, which was also enough to threaten the Han army and prevent the Han army in the direction of Yuzhou from having a chance to go north.

Liu Min and Lu Yong were both generals after the surrender of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to Shijie Zhao, and after they surrendered, they were retained by Shijie Zhao with their original official positions.

Yao Yizhong has enough status and rights to use the resources he wants, and everything can serve the Qiang army to cross the river.

In fact, since 50,000 Qiang troops under Yao Yizhong could cross the Yellow River from the direction of Sizhou, it also indicated that more Qiang troops could cross the river from Sizhou, not necessarily from the Yellow River section along Qingzhou.

Yao Yizhong's choice to cross the Yellow River along the Qingzhou line was nothing more than a starting point from a military point of view, which was not only to cause a multi-pronged attack, but also to pull the army that Liu Yan could mobilize manually.

Seriously, Yao Yizhong really got the goal he wanted, and he involved Liu Yan himself along the Yellow River, which was beneficial and harmless to the Shijie Zhao army in the rest of the directions.

Furthermore, Yao Yizhong decided that if Liu Yan mobilized enough troops along the Yellow River, then there would be fewer Han troops in both the Sizhou and Yuzhou directions, and the better development would be to prevent the Han army from continuing to expand, and even the Shijie Zhao army would be able to counterattack.

Fortunately or unfortunately, Liu Yan only mobilized 30,000 Han troops along the Yellow River, so that Yao Yizhong did not know whether it was good or bad.

By July 14, the day when the traditional ghost gate was opened, the Han army did not have any resistance, and the Qiang army of the Yellow River built a number of pontoon bridges to connect the south bank.

Of course, there is no such thing as a ghost door opening, which means that the Midyear Festival has not yet become a festival, and it will not appear until the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The Northern Wei Dynasty was a social environment in which the rulers believed in Buddhism exactly, and Buddhism held a Bon festival, and since then there has been a saying that the ghost door is open.

The Qiang army, which did not encounter any resistance, was the first to cross the river with about 10,000 cavalry and about 40,000 infantry troops, and when they arrived at the south bank of the Yellow River, they cautiously began to build camps along the river, showing sufficient caution.

On the other hand, the command center of the Han army, which always pays attention to the Qiang army, that is, Liu Yan Xingyuan of Dongpingling, has a slightly strange attitude towards the Qiang army finally crossing the river, not worried but happy.

"The widest terrain from the Yellow River to Jishui is no more than 100 li, and the narrowest terrain is only less than 20 li."

Ji Chang said in an uplifting tone: "This piece of terrain will become the place where we will fight the Qiang army."

Yes, the Yellow River and Jishui are close neighbors, they are not connected, they are just separated from each other, of which Jishui is also connected to the Bohai Sea, but also directly connected to Daze.

There is nothing wrong with Wang Pu and his troops being close to Jishui, but whether they are stationed or building a large number of buildings, it is just a role to confuse people, and the real location of the Han army in Daxing is in the Luzi River on the edge of Daze, where a dense dock has been built, which is arranged by Liu Yan for the purpose of "rioting soldiers", and a large number of ships have been added to the production sequence, and the calculation time will be swallowed out in the near future.

The "泒" of the Luzi River should actually be a "glutinous" plus a "melon" to read "gu", its length is very long, the west is directly connected to Puyang, from the Yellow River on the edge of Puyang to turn down, is a tributary of the Yellow River.

Its eastern side is from Linyi to the Yellow River, and the total length is definitely more than 500 li.

To put it bluntly, it's not that Liu Yan didn't prepare the fleet to enter the Yellow River, but it's not the river channel that was transferred from the sea into the Yellow River as Yao Yizhong and others wanted, who let Liu Yan have the means to defy the sky, isn't it The narrow terrain between the Yellow River and Jishui was really suitable as a battle site, and that was for the Han army who wanted to block the back road of the Qiang army.

It was precisely because of this that the Han army bothered to stop the Qiang army from crossing the river, and they wished that Yao Yizhong would cross the Yellow River as soon as possible and enter the predetermined narrow battle area.

"Yao Yizhong didn't understand what we wanted to do, he was cautious enough, and just let the 50,000 step riders enter first."

Ji Chang actually admired Yao Yizhong's prudence, and it should be urgent for others to cross the river and he was eager to put all the troops into it at once.

He asked: "Are we sending troops to fight it?"

Doing nothing would only make Yao Yizhong even more hesitant, and might even make Yao Yizhong pause, if the Qiang army retreated, it would cause disaster to the Han army's northern front.

Liu Yan asked: "How many troops should be sent?"

This was a big problem, too many Han troops could not be mobilized, too few would cause unnecessary losses, and they could not really drive the Qiang army that crossed the river back to the south bank.

"That's the case" Ji Chang pondered for a while and asked, "Order Xu Zheng and Huan Wen to take the initiative" Liu Yan nodded in approval.

Xu is the main general of the Han army in the direction of Yuzhou, he is facing the resistance army of Shijie Zhao in Yuzhou, the number of defense troops in Yuzhou is very objective, reaching more than 200,000, as for who they are, it can only be said that except for forty or fifty thousand county soldiers, the rest are a temporary rabble.

Huan Wen was of course facing Sun Fudu's headquarters and the Qiang army that Yao Yizhong had separated, and the skirmishes between the two sides never stopped, and in general they were in a stalemate.

After all, Liu Yan still had to transfer troops from the rest of the place, after all, Yao Yizhong's troops were really huge.

When to transfer troops and from what position, there are many points to pay attention to.

Later, they agreed to send the cavalry from Jinan County to attack the Qiang army that had crossed the Yellow River, and the number of cavalry dispatched was only 3,000.

The number of 3,000 cavalry of the Han army was really small, but their dispatch made Yao Yizhong breathe a sigh of relief.

Yao Yizhong has not yet figured out what Liu Yan or the Han Department thinks, so Yao Yizhong is not to blame, it is that the Hu people have always ignored the existence of mountains and rivers, and even if they pay attention to it, it is only a local battlefield.

That's a doomed thing with cultural heritage, the Hu people are not like Chinese civilization, they don't have their own writing, and they can't even carry history, some are made up into songs and sung from generation to generation, and what can be passed on can be imagined what should be scarce.

The Qiang people have absorbed a lot of the command of Chinese civilization, but how long have they risen, and the bearing of culture is not something that can be absorbed in one or two generations, and it takes several generations to pay enough attention.

The 3,000 Han cavalry who went to attack the camp on the bank of the Yellow River were very frequent, and they directly approached the camp of the Qiang army at the beginning, forcing Yao Yizhong to send cavalry to fight against him.

It's all light cavalry, plus everyone is cautious enough.

Once the hussars are cautious of each other, it will be a time-consuming battle in which you chase each other.

The battle movement made Yao Yizhong's generals along the way more certain from their previous guesses, that is, Liu Yan's troops at hand were seriously insufficient.

Later, the military information in the direction of Dongping County and Yuzhou was successively transmitted to Yao Yizhong.

"The Han armies on both sides attacked."

Hu Yansheng looked quite excited: "Liu Yan is eager to transfer troops north" There has always been a fog in war, where the intentions of the other side are not known, and then the movement of troops of the other side is not known.

For Yao Yizhong's army, they did not find out whether Liu Yan's intentions were true, and although they were not well aware of the movement of the Han army, the large-scale movement of the Han army could still be known.

"What exactly does Liu Yan want to do" Yao Yizhong's confusion did not decrease much, but became more and more intense: "If they are in a hurry, shouldn't they try their best to prevent us from crossing the river?"

That is the contradiction between intelligence and reality, what Liu Yan should have done was to fight hard to prevent the Qiang army from crossing the river, but Liu Yan did not do that, it was not like the choice that a commander who lacked troops should have.

"Anyway, we have already crossed the river" Hu Yansheng didn't understand what Yao Yizhong was worried about, and said eagerly: "We originally wanted to cross the river, and only by crossing the river can we fight the Han army" Yao Yizhong looked at Hu Yansheng silently, and said coldly: "I, I am the boss." ” The muscles on Hu Yansheng's face stiffened, and he smiled wryly.

Of course, Yao Yizhong knew that he should cross the river no matter what, and only by crossing the river could he engage the Han army, and only by fighting could he distinguish the winner from the loser.

The problem is that he has too many doubts in his heart, and he always feels that no matter what is wrong, he can't find out where the trap is.

One thing Hu Yansheng is not wrong, no matter what doubts Yao Yizhong has, he can not stop, after crossing the river with 50,000 steps in the early stage, Yao Yizhong added 30,000 cavalry to the south bank of the Yellow River.

After Yao Yizhong sent 30,000 cavalry to cross the river, these 30,000 Qiang light cavalry were not used as defensive forces, and as soon as they crossed the river, they immediately divided into three routes, with 10,000 each dispatched to the west, east, and south, posing as if they wanted to walk around the surroundings.

The cavalry may not be able to march long distances, but the short marches within a hundred miles are still very fast, and the 30,000 Qiang cavalry can walk around the surroundings in less than a day.

Liu Yan, who learned of Yao Yizhong's new movements, only had a smile on his face at that time.

"Yao Yizhong is really a cautious person" Ji Chang finished with some emotion, narrowed his eyes later, and asked: "They can't find any ambush troops, they should be relieved to transfer the rest of the troops to the south bank of the Yellow River."
