Ran Min came as a hussar general as the general of the first battle to cross the river, in addition to his own efforts, it cannot be ruled out that there is Liu Yan's bad taste of "open the door, let Ran Min" or "close the door, let Ran Min go".
Of course, there is no intention to insult Ran Min in the slightest, Liu Yan's bad taste is the same as all time-travelers, building up power and recruiting famous historical figures, and likes to overuse those historical celebrities.
It is nothing more than those people who have "passed" the test of history, and there is no doubt about their ability.
Furthermore, the historical celebrities who are driven to really have an indescribable sense of accomplishment for the time-travelers.
The width of the four bridges is generally about six zhang, because they are wooden rafts made of many wooden piles with full buoyancy, and there are no boats or boats placed below, but the wooden rafts are connected with iron chains in addition to nailed rolling logs, and there are also a large number of boats to provide pulling power.
A "woo-woo" horn was sounded, and a large number of foot riders near the river beach began to approach the mound, and they would cross the river from the pontoon bridge in batches.
The Han army, which had already crossed the east bank of Qiushui, had already been informed that the follow-up troops would cross the river, and put on a defensive posture.
"I heard that it will still shake violently, but don't be careless and fall into the water."
Ran Min did not take the lead, but stopped at the edge of a pontoon bridge: "I heard that a fixed bridge will be built" Even Ran Min knows a little about it, how can Liu Yi know more Four pontoon bridges alone is certainly not enough, after all, there are as many as 80,000 Han troops gathered on the west bank of Qiushui alone, and even if they cross the river without stopping all the time, 80,000 people will not be too much for two or three days.
The Han army's dependence on the baggage troops is not high, but there are still some baggage troops with the army, how they cross the river is also a key, at least the pontoon bridge can definitely not stand a large number of carriages piled up, so the baggage has to wait for the crossing troops to open up the situation before using boats to transport.
According to Liu Yan's arrangement, there are at least about thirty bridges on Qiushui's side, and the first four are only built to allow more vanguard troops to pass.
In order to allow the troops to cross the river more quickly, Liu Yan must also know whether his reference can be successful, and the four pontoon bridges will use the latest technology, but the materials are really prepared, and the bridges behind them need to use boats as buoyancy.
There are many water systems in the Chinese region, quite a lot of water systems are actually not built bridges, generally relying on ferries, Liu Yan is very clear that those water systems are causing trouble to traffic, and intends to increase the construction of bridges in the country's water systems, especially in some inhabited areas, but this will be a big project, not a moment and a half will be able to take shape.
At present, the most important water systems for the Han Kingdom are the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.
There are many bridges built on the Yangtze River, but only Jianjin is a bridge that meets the specifications, and the bridges in other places are far inferior to Jianjin.
On the Yellow River, there are no bridges similar to the Jianjin specifications, and it can even be said that the number of bridges in the long and thousands of miles of the river is outrageously small.
From the perspective of the country, the more important the water system, the closer the connection between the two sides of the strait, no matter what era it is, otherwise it will cause a kind of water separation but two worlds of the status quo, the Central Plains Dynasty repeatedly appeared in the north and south of the division of the rule, it is precisely because of the unformed traffic caused by natural hazards, the formation of mutual confrontation and separation space.
Previously, the Han State had destroyed the Li Cheng Han and the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the small court, and it was clear that if they wanted to firmly grasp the territory of the army, they did not only rely on killing, but only to ensure that the danger was reduced, and what should really be done was to build roads, and only mature communication lines were a stable guarantee, even if there were repeated times, they could use convenient transportation to send troops in time.
"Well, it must be a bridge in the water, at least to ensure that there is a bridge that is not easy to destroy."
Liu Yan and several ministers stood on the high platform that had been built, watching Qiu Shui's movements from afar: "Transportation is the lifeblood of a country, and the secretaries must firmly remember this. ” "Once the First Emperor ruled the world, ordered the destruction of the city's walls, and even canceled the domestic passes" Ji Chang said in an unpredictable tone: "The First Emperor's approach is to make the country no longer have a city to divide, and there is no way to resist the danger of the Qin army's soldiers, but unfortunately the First Emperor died before he was ready." ” Sang Yu glanced at Liu Yan secretly, but he knew what Liu Yan wanted to do after clearing the surrounding threats, including learning from the behavior of the First Emperor, that is, the domestic cities no longer have walls, and no longer retain those passes.
"The First Emperor was a great emperor."
Liu Yan's voice did not wave: "He is also a great man with great foresight, he is just too confident and underestimates the people of the Six Kingdoms." ” In fact, it is because of the foundation laid down by several generations of Qin Jun and Qin Wang, that the First Emperor swept through the Liuhe Eight Wilderness and ended the centuries-long chaos in Zhuxia, but the First Emperor was not an emperor who only ate the remnants of his ancestors.
The first emperor also attacked the Xiongnu in the north and conquered Baiyue in the south, not only to open up the territory, but also because he knew the truth that the alien race would not destroy the summer restlessness.
As for the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, it was once again unified after hundreds of years, and some rules of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period still existed, such as the fact that the heirs of the endless people only refer to the royal family, which also allowed the first emperor to allow the royal families to sacrifice to their ancestors after destroying the countries, so not only did they take care of the royal families who died well, but also did not kill all the people with weak royal blood, and they did not attach so much importance to the pursuit and killing of the loyal and good people of some countries.
In any era, there will be contemporary values and rules, and a thing that conforms to the concept of the time will be stupid for future generations to look at in different eras.
It is probably a lesson from the Qin Empire, and the victors of the subsequent dynasties and generations did not do so, and they will not be soft when they can kill all the replaced royal families.
"It's a pity that it has been suppressed by the clan for a long time, so that the first emperor does not establish a queen and a prince."
Liu Yan didn't look back and could think that all the ministers were frowning, he only had Liu Shen as a son now, but he didn't canonize Liu Shen as the crown prince: "If only the first emperor could live for ten more years" The clan Liu Yan said refers to the long-term marriage between the Qin State and the Chu State, and the queens of several generations of Qin kings are all Chu people, and the evolution of the Chu people into the Qin State is at least the Qin Wang Ying surname has great influence.
The first emperor was fighting against the descendants for almost half of his life, and at the beginning, there was Lü Buwei, a "comrade-in-arms", and when he was most embarrassed, he deliberately indulged a concubine, waiting for the rebellion and had to follow the will of the descendants to severely weaken the "old Qin people", or in the end, Lü Buwei and the descendants fought a defeat, and the Shandong family cultivated by the first emperor also grew up, so that the two forces of the descendants and Lü Buwei were suppressed.
In the direction that Liu Yan couldn't see, almost all the ministers were stunned at first, and then they all looked at Liu Yan.
The muscles on their faces were gradually relaxing, probably thinking that Liu Yan was only a year old, and that Liu Yan's body had always been very healthy, and there would be no worries about the first emperor's health.
The only thing they need to think about is one thing, and that is Liu Yan's harem.
There are already people stepping on the pontoon bridge in front, and the first thing to walk in front is a carriage driving the load, which is intended to test the bearing capacity and stability of the pontoon.
The wooden raft is actually made very smooth, but the wheel will inevitably bump when walking, after all, the wooden stake itself is round, and there will definitely be dents between the wooden stake and the wooden pile, and the wheel itself is a timber structure.
"The distance is farther away, so they are more dense."
Ran Min attaches more importance to the quality of the pontoon bridge than anyone else, but he lacks enough patience: "Wait a minute, not only will a large number of foot soldiers march over, but there will also be cavalry to pass." ” Speaking of which, it is really the first time to build a pontoon bridge, and it would be hellish if you can have full confidence, after all, people are skeptical or hesitant about new things.
The convoy that inspected the quality of the pontoon bridge did not seem to be very confident in the quality of the pontoon, and each carriage was at least one zhang apart, and there were only two carriages walking side by side.
The ordered convoy began to gradually close the distance between each other, and the speed of driving the horses also increased, and the increase in the bearing force and movement made the pontoon begin to make strange sounds, and the shaking of the pontoon bridge also increased, so that the soldiers staying on it could not help but feel a little weak.
It is inevitable that there will be a strange sound on the pontoon, that is, the mutual fixing devices are being pulled strongly, and the ropes and chains tied to the pontoon and the boat are also tightened, whether it is shaking or sinking, it is a normal physical phenomenon.
The convoys on the pontoon bridges completed the passage without danger, and enthusiastic cheers erupted on both sides of the mound.
Liu Yan, who stayed not far from the west bank of Qiushui, was naturally happy, but he quickly frowned: the enemy army gathered in large groups and slowly pushed forward, and he really wouldn't watch it.
Of course, Murong Ke would not just watch without doing anything, there were not too many Han troops who had crossed the river to the east bank of Qiushui without attacking before, and the results that would be achieved by approaching the river to engage were far less than the possible losses, but now the situation has obviously changed.
Liu Yan did not inform Ran Min in front of him after making a discovery, if he did everything himself, he might be able to avoid a temporary loss, but it was not a good thing for the overall situation and the future of the Han Kingdom.
At the beginning of the real large-scale crossing of the river, Ran Min's choice was that the three pontoon bridges were specially used to allow the foot soldiers to pass, but one pontoon bridge was set aside for the cavalry to use, and it was almost when they started to cross the river, a captain on the east bank sent someone to tell Ran Min, saying that Murong Yanjun had made a big move.
"It's just that I want to hit halfway."

Ran Min had long been mentally prepared for what would happen, and told the visitor: "If it is broken through, let Captain Chen come to see him." ” Cutting off your own head and carrying it to ask for guilt is of course something you can't do, it's just a threat.
Soon, the east bank of Qiushui resounded with the sound of "dong dong" war drums, and the Han army in various regions frequently shouted orders, similar to letting the soldiers prepare to meet the enemy.
The captain of the early river crossing department is called Chen Zhan, they have not been idle since they crossed the river, in addition to the river beach must be cleaned up, the forward armed inventory has not stopped for a moment, and the most fierce battle with the Murong Yan army is those forests, because the Murong Yan army is very strong, can not break through more deeply.
"Rockets, we need a large number of rockets," Chen Zhan's expression looked extremely hideous: "There are at least 30,000 enemy troops in the surrounding forests, don't they prepare fierce fire oil in advance, and use their preparations to give themselves a grand cremation" "You can set fire" Zhang Hou was stunned when he heard it: "It is estimated that it will not be extinguished in ten days and half a month when it burns."
"The captain was authorized before crossing the river."
Even though Chen Zhan has a good relationship with Zhang Hou, a military marquis directly under him, he still feels angry about the question: "Ordering the fire is the business of the captain, and how to carry it out is your business."
Zhang Hou immediately fell silent.
The Han army crossed the river and occupied a beachhead on the east bank of Qiushui, but because of the environment, it only opened up an elongated semicircular clearing, and the surrounding area was surrounded by forests.
The Han army that landed on the east bank of Qiushui could not leave the river too far, and if there were no ships on the river to provide long-range weapon support, it would not be a rational choice to face the Murong Yan army with only about 3,000 troops.
Before Zhang Hou decided to launch a rocket to set fire to the woods, he personally came over to ask Ran Min's opinion.
"Do whatever you have to do."
Ran Min was a little impatient: "The army crossed the river to expand the garrison area, and those forests will be cut down sooner or later, and they will be burned if they are set on fire, and they will not be delayed for ten days and half a month." ” Zhang Hou was very frightened in the face of Ran Min, a hussar general who killed hundreds of thousands of people in the Beidi pit, and then saw Ran Min's obvious impatience, so he only said "That's the job to do things", and trotted away in Ran Min's impatient wave of his hand.
The Han army put on a defensive posture, and Murong Ke, who personally arrived to observe closely, was shocked when he saw some of the Han army's moves.
"Retreat, retreat immediately" Murong Ke's eyesight is very good, and he can see that the bow and crossbow troops of the Han army are replacing arrows, although it is not clear what rockets are being replaced, but as long as the arrows are replaced in battle, as long as he is a general, he knows why: "Hurry up and cut out a fireproof area" Don't think that the ancients were really stupid, when there was a fire, especially a wild fire, they already knew that clearing out an open space without combustibles could prevent the spread of the fire, especially the qualified generals should know this knowledge.
I originally wanted to fight the last battle, no matter whether it was true or false, it was to retreat to attract the Han army to pursue, and then bury the Han army in the sea of fire, but I didn't think that Murong Ke was a strong-willed person, which meant that he would not hesitate to do anything at all, and said that if he wanted to retreat, he would shoot the horse and retreat, and with the bump of the war horse, he smiled bitterly behind the face of the armor: Should it be said that there is no vanity under the fame Shi Min actually has such a decision, and he is not dragging his feet at all.
At this time, the bow and crossbow units of the Han army were already firing rockets:
