Chapter 592: The battle plan is aborted


There is no doubt that the Han army must have wanted to cross the river, but it has to be said that the climate change.

In recent years, it is relatively early in winter and late in spring, Xiliang is a place where snow will fall all year round, and the snow in some years is still very large, this year's Xiliang is a blizzard, and the beginning of spring is also delayed for nearly half a month.

The west side of Xiliang is not only the Western Regions, but also depends on where the source of the Yellow River is.

The source of the Yellow River is actually on the plateau, and not to mention that the plateau will also snow, the water of the Yellow River itself comes from the icebergs, imagine where the water will gather after the ice and snow melt, and then think about where the collected water will flow, and at the same time ponder the changes in the weather, you can probably find out what embarrassing situation the Han army is in.

That's right, the time it takes to melt varies from place to place, for example, the closer you get to the North Pole, the later the snow melts than the rest of the world.

When Xiliang began to thaw, the plateau was still white, waiting for the ice and snow to melt and the ground was dried out again, the snow on the plateau entered the melting stage, and then the icebergs began to melt, and the upper reaches of the Yellow River immediately entered the flood period.

Water is not only flowing downward, but is also affected by the earth's magnetic field, and it is a staggering amount of things to be involved in what period of the year is the flood outbreak and when the water flow is gentle.

All in all, the arrival of water from the upper reaches of the Yellow River has not only caused the river to rise, but also caused some previously peaceful sections of the river to become extremely turbulent.

If you want to build a pontoon bridge in this situation, it may not be possible to build a pontoon bridge with the convenience of the machinery of the US military during World War II, or the conditions of modern scientific and technological development, let alone in 338 AD The Yellow River became impossible to swim across, and it was even more wishful thinking to build a bridge, Xie An's plan to cross the river to attack Jinxing County and Guangwu County had been bankrupt before it was implemented, and some of the troops sent over earlier left the necessary spying personnel, most of them were diverted to Heshuo, and the large army crossed the river without even thinking about it.

Song Qin would be strange, it was strange that he had spotted the warships of the Han army appearing in this section of the river, but they appeared very suddenly, and then disappeared without a trace.

"Han Army Warship" Zhang Zuo had to pay attention: "What style, how many quantities" "There are seven of them that the last general has seen with his own eyes, and they are not building ships, so I can't talk about what style they are."

Song Qin had never been in contact with the navy, so he briefly described it, and then emphatically said: "That kind of warship is not small, and it is equipped with at least two bed crossbows. ” Of course, the Yellow River is capable of navigating ships, and Zhang Zuo is nervous about how the warships of the Han army can appear around Jincheng.

It is important to understand that the current Yellow River is not the Yellow River that has been repeatedly combed in later generations, and it does not mean that a ship can go all the way directly from the East China Sea, and some sections of the river are actually unable to provide ships to navigate.

Zhang Tianxi, who arrived later, knew the news and asked the key: "Did the Han warships try to land on the north shore?"

"As far as the last general knows, no."

Song Qin didn't dare to say too much: "What the last general doesn't know, then he really doesn't know." ” Zhang Tianxi looked at Zhang Zuo and said, "I have to guard against it." ” Zhang Zuo didn't hesitate too much, and directly ordered one of the generals next to him: "Fengxiao, take the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to inspect the upstream." ” The word is a middle-aged man who is filial piety, he salutes and responds to the "promise", and runs out in a hurry.

Zhang Zuo really didn't dare to be careless, especially when it came to the sailors, he felt that he should be 120,000 points of spirit, all because he had seen the information about the huge scale of the Han army fleet more than once, and it seemed that he could always appear on the battlefield when needed.

So many countries were attacked by the elusive fleet of the Han army, Zhang Zuo didn't want to be the next one, he really knew a little bit, there were too many water nets on Murong Yanguo's side, and the newly appointed Murong Jun was heartbroken in order to prevent the Han army from using the water nets.

On the north bank of the Yellow River, Zhang's Liang army continued to come in, and Xie An was of course always focused.

He got a definite answer, before the flood season of the Yellow River passed, the army did not want to cross the river, so he refocused most of its attention on Jincheng.

Jincheng is indeed a strong city, even if the Han army has uprooted the outer acropolis, but there is still no way to take too far for Jincheng.

"The timber canals have been destroyed, but there is no good way to deal with the big stone ones."

Zhong Xing's face was a little obviously gloomy: "People can't pry, and the effect of stone bullets is not great, or just poison." ” If you want to poison more than 100,000 people in a city, how much poison should be used, it can be seen that Zhong Xing is really depressed.

"It seems to work."

Yuan Qiao ignored Zhong Xing, who was a little stupid, and said with a smile: "Of course, it can't poison many people, but it can intimidate the defenders." ” Zhong Xing laughed a few times and said, "It's better to bury it and cut off the water." ” Xie An nodded: "It makes sense." ” Zhong Xing was immediately stunned again.

Jincheng has built a canal to connect to the Yellow River.

In fact, the current water of the Yellow River is not yellow at all, it should be said that the current water of the Yellow River is so clear that you can see the fish and shrimp inside, and it can be drunk directly.

The aqueduct connecting the city to the river is to provide drinking water for the entire city, and it is conceivable that the aqueduct is absolutely insignificant.

It can be used as an aqueduct, and it is built on the edge of the Yellow River with turbulent water flow, and the water flow inside can not be stable, and then the width of the canal is at least four zhang, and if you want to dig the soil to cut off the water flow, the amount of work does not seem to be small "yes, cut off the water."

Yuan Qiao touched the beard on his chin: "There are tens of thousands of people in a city, and the daily water consumption must be massive, and if the water supply outside the city is cut off, the wells in the city alone will definitely make it short of water." ” No matter what kind of project it is, as long as an army wants to do it, no matter how big the project is, it is not a fart for the army.

Xie An didn't want to spend too much effort on Jincheng before, what he wanted was to slowly clean up after surrounding it, mainly thinking about whether he could besiege Jincheng, cross the river and use the advantage of cavalry to directly flash attack Guzang, so as to achieve the goal of capturing Guzang and then destroying Zhang's Liangguo.

No, at least within a month or two, the army will not want to cross the river, and the north bank of the Yellow River is also constantly gathered by Zhang's Liang army, and a good strategy of crossing the river blitzkrieg can only stay on paper, and before waiting for the center's reply to the reply on the transfer of Rouran Mountain troops, it is time to turn around and compete with the defenders of Jincheng.

A "newspaper" with a tail note was shouted out of the tent, and someone came to report to the Chinese army's big tent, saying that Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi's banners had been found on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Important people will have their own flags, which is not only to show their status, but also to boost morale, so that all soldiers have a follower.

The direction pointed by the banner of the famous general, the soldiers under his command will surely attack to the death.

The commander-in-chief of the army can play a role in fixing the needle of the sea, and as long as the flag is not chaotic at the moment of crisis, the military spirit can actually be stabilized.

Xie An cleaned up and took the lead in standing up: "You can take a look." ” The Han army's military camp was on the east side of Jincheng, which was actually a dozen miles away from the Yellow River, and it had to bypass the city wall of Jincheng during the period.

"Taishou, the main general of the Han army appeared near the city defense" Suofu has been very reused recently, and immediately found Zhang Chong when he found the situation: "As soon as the general and the leading army of the army arrive, the Han general must be on the edge of the Yellow River, it is better to " Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi's banners appeared on the north bank of the Yellow River, and Jincheng actually found it, and there was a cheer in the city early on.

Zhang Chong came to the north of the city to watch in person, because of the arrival of Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi, his anxious heart was also a little relaxed earlier.

"Yes, it's a great opportunity" Yi Tui took Suofu's words, and said in a huff: "Why don't you send troops out of the city to intercept and kill" The military flag of the chief general of the Han army is actually very recognizable, with a big "Han" character in black on a red background, and official positions will be written on the side of the flag, such as Xie An is "Han, General Zhengxi Zhonglang, Xie An".

Therefore, it should be a Han general who is qualified to hold the flag, and you can tell how big an official it is from the words written on the flag.

Zhang Chong narrowed his eyes and said unhurriedly: "The Han army commander and his group are only less than five hundred. ” "That's exactly why I changed out of the city to intercept and kill" Sofu didn't bother with Yi Xuan, and yelled very urgently: "It's a great opportunity" "The chief general of an army, there are many generals and colonels in his entourage, and it is unreasonable to only bring five hundred guards."

The corners of Zhang Chong's mouth hooked, as if mocking: "This kind of trick is to set up an ambush to lure our army out of the city." ” Sofu was stunned.

Yi Di began to look at the nose and nose and the heart.

"But," Zhang Chong said, "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."

Fight for small profits and forget big things, Xie An is the main general but uses himself as bait, and this is too much to be fulfilled by him. ” In fact, there is no Zhang's Liang army stationed outside Jincheng, and only when it is necessary will Zhang's Liang army go out of the city to fight, if it were not for some undiscovered tunnels that can still send people to attack from time to time, it is equivalent to Jincheng has actually become a lonely city.

Suo Fu got his wish, and he got Zhang Chong to allocate 3,000 cavalry, although most of them were still from the Western Regions, but they were the largest attack on Jincheng in recent times.

A city has more than four gates, and the larger the city, the more gates it has, because the walls are too long, and the number of entrances and exits required will inevitably increase.

As a military town of the city, its number of gates is actually more, otherwise a direction is only a city gate, the city needs to go out to the outside of the army should be slow to what point at the same time, there are regular city gates, then there are some emergency passages, generally usually with thick iron gates or steel gates to the gate will be blocked from the inside, to use it will be opened.

Xie An rode a horse, heard a war drum in his ears, and there were also bursts of shouts from the direction of Jincheng, and when he turned his head, he could see the three gates that were opened, and some of the city walls had also opened some low holes that were much smaller than the regular city gates.

Cavalry kept pouring out of the city, and they were moving in circles in the fortifications where they could ride horses, and before they could get out of the fortifications, there was already a shout of killing.

Almost at the moment when troops left the city in Jincheng, the camp of the Han army was a desolate horn was blown, and the gate was wide open, and cavalry continued to pour out.

On the north bank of the Yellow River, the sound of drums and trumpets came from afar, and they also saw the movement on the other side from a long distance.

"Mrs.

Zhang is sending troops to fight."

Song Qin was somewhat surprised: "The last general has been on the north bank for nearly half a month, and it is the first time I have seen Zhang Taishou take the initiative to attack. ” Zhang Tianxi wondered: "Zhang Chong is so greedy for life and afraid of death" "There is a strong city that is not defended" Zhang Zuo glared at Zhang Tianxi unceremoniously and asked: "Do you want to give up the geographical advantage to fight with the Han army in the field?"

Zhang Tianxi was not convinced, so he pointed to the place where there should have been an acropolis: "The sub-cities outside the city were swept by the Han army one after another, but Zhang Chong did nothing. ” That's the thing, the Han army only took less than half a month to turn the acropolis outside Jincheng into ruins, during which Zhang Chong really did not send troops to respond, only to withdraw the troops stationed in the acropolis to reduce casualties, it seems that it is not unreasonable to say that it is afraid of war.

"That" Song Qin felt the need to talk about what he had seen: "It seems that it is no wonder that Zhang Taishou Han Army's siege equipment is extremely sharp, and the bow and crossbow are also extremely strong, and the Hu cavalry, which is known for its speed, is still difficult to approach, and most of the Jincheng defenders are foot soldiers."

Zhang Tianxi sneered, and said gloomily: "When my brother arrived, he was brave but he didn't take the soldier's life seriously." ” Compared with Zhang Tianxi, who seems to be unhappy, Zhang Zuo looks happy.

In fact, Zhang Chong is not Zhang Zuo's faction, nor is he Zhang Tianxi's person, Zhang Chong is a royalist faction seriously, and whoever is King Liang will obey his orders.

When Zhang Chonghua was there, Zhang Chong was naturally obedient to Zhang Chonghua, the righteous King of Liang. waited for Zhang Chonghua to be captured, and then Zhang Zuo became the representative of Zhang's Liangguo, and Zhang Chong has been acting according to Zhang Zuo's orders, so Zhang Tianxi will think that Zhang Chong has taken refuge in Zhang Zuo.

"This" Song Qin is not anyone's person, so he can only whisper: "Isn't that not that the winner has not yet been decided?"

Suo Fu led the army out of the city, and before they could get close to Xie An and other generals, they had just left the city and ran into the Han cavalry who came to fight.

The battle ground was near the Jincheng Field Fortification Circle, and when the two cavalry armies fought, there were still brave people who would want to help their allies, but they didn't dare to run out of the fortifications at all, and just took a bow and crossbow to draw an arrow.

"Bring in a crossbow."

Xie An is frown: "Cover it." ” Zhang Chong sent his troops to fight in order to show Zhang Zuo and Zhang Tianxi, who had just arrived, that Jincheng's morale was guaranteed and that they were not afraid to engage the Han army.

Xie An came over to look at Zhang Zuo and others across the river, firstly, to observe the Zhang Liangjun who came, and secondly, with the intention of demonstrating to them.

A battle because of the performance of morale and the prestige of the army soon became bigger and bigger, as the Han army organized a large-scale arrow array, the more Han troops were transferred out to approach Jincheng, and once people wondered whether the Han army was going to officially attack the city
