"Sir, it's all my subordinates who didn't do things well and delayed important events!"

"Please ask the servant to punish you!" The person in charge of leading the path-finding grasshopper boat was the team leader Zeng Jing. Seeing that the boat was forced to stop in the white water, he was heartbroken and wanted to jump into the water and personally remove all the wooden stakes that were in the way.

Push away!

"It's none of your business. Your boat is so small and light that you can't even find wooden piles in deep water."

"Fortunately, it didn't cause a big disaster." Huan Yi said with a smile.

As a native of Jingzhou, he was very clear about the characteristics of the grasshopper boat. In fact, Zeng Jing did not need to be so nervous at all.

Wang Mi also knows these simple common senses very well.

Very simply, this is a question of water intake.

The grasshopper boat is small and has a shallow draft. Most of the heavy wooden piles sink to the bottom of the water and they cannot touch them at all.

"Maybe it's a good thing that the boat stops here."

"Just in time to come in handy!"

Wang Mi touched his chin, looked at the ship building that was gradually becoming stable, and murmured.

Huan Yi's judgment was correct. Although the building swayed a few times and caused many shocks to people, it did not sink. After a period of observation, it can be concluded that the hull was not damaged.

This is already a great blessing. Who would have known that Wang Zhiyuan, who is known for his shrewdness and wisdom, is still shouting for something better.

This is really strange. Seeing someone's calm look, standing on the side of the ship, as if he has a winning ticket, the brothers are even more curious.

Even the upcoming threat on Nanyang City Tower was forgotten by them, and they only focused on listening to Wang Mi's latest news.

"You don't understand. Although this ship is useless, it can be an excellent cover for the pistol team."

"bunker?"

"What is that?" This time, even Huan Yi, who was quick-minded and knowledgeable, was confused.

He said that he had never heard of this word at all.

Huan Yi was confused, and the soldiers around him were even more confused. How could the soldiers figure out something that General Huan couldn't understand?

Of course, everyone shook their heads in confusion.

It seems that the word bunker was a new foreign word in the late Jin Dynasty, and the ancients did not have this concept in their minds.

There is no other way. It seems that if the soldiers want to learn to use bunkers, he, Xiao Wang, must go into battle himself.

"Wild King, tell the building boats behind you that they don't have to follow you anymore. We'll start crossing the river to attack the city on the spot!"

"good!"

"I'll go right away!" Huan Yi jumped onto a grasshopper boat without saying a word.

And beside Wang Mi, there was still Liu Yu.

He thought about it again and again, but in the end he could only say goodbye to his beloved general, and they went separate ways.

There was no way. In comparison, only Liu Yu could lead the five thousand elite troops from Xiangyang. As for Liu Chun, the Jingzhou general who personally led the troops to assist, he had no choice but to follow Wang Mi.

All five thousand elite soldiers were handed over to Liu Chun, and he really couldn't let go.

Fortunately, Liu Chun mingled with Huan Chong every day. As the saying goes, those who are close to red are red, and those who are close to ink are black. They are influenced by what they hear and see. He has the same temperament as General Huan.

It's fair to think about it, that's all.

"General Liu, please join me in commanding the navy. General Liu is from Jingzhou and has more experience than me." Wang Mi was also a considerate person and had thought up an excuse early in the morning.

Liu Chun accepted all such excuses and felt happy.

"The general will only follow his orders!"

With these words, Wang Mi felt relieved.

"Brothers, the Qin army is coming, get into the water quickly!"

Under his command, a group of Jingzhou soldiers were carefully selected and had the best water quality. Seeing the soldiers jumping into the water like fish, Liu Chun still felt uneasy in his heart.

"Zhiyuan, is this really okay?"

These soldiers jumped into the water not to kill the enemy, let alone to cross the river. The errand they were going to do was completely something Liu Chun had never seen or heard of before.

"rest assured!"

"no problem."

"The water here is shallow. We have tried it just now."

Someone said it was light, but in fact, the water would be able to cover the chest of an adult man. The one Wang Mi chose had good water properties and was tall.

Make sure you can stand firmly in the water without being submerged.

Building a bridge to cross the water was Wang Mi's ingenious plan.

This flat white water lies in front of the Nanyang County city tower. The biggest obstacle it will cause to the attacking soldiers is that it will make it difficult for them to quickly approach the city tower.

When a person travels in water, his speed will of course slow down a lot, and for the defender, the slow speed of the enemy's movement is of course a major benefit.

They could easily wipe out all the attacking soldiers in the white water. As long as they used their tactics properly, they would have enough time.

Wang Mi's countermeasure was to let a wave of soldiers with the best water ability carry bamboo rafts, build a human bridge, and send the soldiers to the other side of the white water in a steady stream.

It seems to be a fairly simple measure, but at the end of the Jin Dynasty, no general had ever used it.

Many times, the gap between times lies here.

To say that Xiao Wang was not a top student or a top student in his previous life, he was just an ordinary college student who was dawdling.

However, even so, the intellectual achievements of those predecessors who have studied in basic education for many years are still a crushing advantage when facing the ancients.

In ancient times, there were actually ladders and even bamboo rafts. However, when they faced the difficulty of crossing the river, they never thought that they could put bamboo rafts or wooden ladders on their shoulders, and connect several groups of people together to build a human bridge. .

A simple operation can greatly increase the speed of soldiers crossing the river, almost effortlessly.

The only preliminary preparations you need to make are to prepare enough bamboo rafts and find sailors with good water resistance and good endurance (of course this is not difficult in Jingzhou soldiers).

Of course, although it is easy to build a pedestrian bridge, it is also very difficult to maintain it.

The difficulty was not caused by Wang Mi's lack of preparation, but by the enemy.

yes!

Di Qin soldiers are not just wooden piles, they will also attack!

The soldiers who were moving on the human bridge and the sailors who were holding up bamboo rafts for the Paoze brothers under the water were all very easy targets for Di Qin.

But before the navy was harmed, there was one thing that I don’t know whether it was a blessing or a misfortune.

Because the Qin army that arrived at this time, their target of attack was not the Jin army, but the Jin army's equipment.

It’s a building boat!

…………

"Dou Ying!"

"Put five hundred cavalry and five thousand armored soldiers to attack the Jin army!"

"Don't let a single Jin soldier land on the other side!"

Knowing the strength of the Jin army, Yang Ding decided to use suppression methods, go out of the city to challenge, and switch from defense to offense.

His choice was certainly not wrong in terms of military strategy. The so-called best defense is offense.

Yang Ding seems calm, but in fact he is also a fierce general.

He could not allow himself to stand on the tower like a pillar, waiting for something to happen.

Vow to stop the Jin army within one mile of Nanyang City Tower!

Yang Ding's goal is quite ambitious, but can he succeed?

"ignition!"

"Fire the arrow!"

valley

Yang Bi spotted the target, waved his hand, and countless arrows rose into the sky behind him.

The sharp arrows rose, adding a lot of brilliance to the clear sky.

You can shoot arrows!

Don’t I know how to shoot arrows?

Hearing that the navy of the Jin Army arrived first, Yang Ding's eyes immediately lit up with fire!

fire!

correct!

Burning camp!

Battle of Chibi!
