Chapter 402 Crossing the River! [Seeking Monthly Votes]

"General, do you want to shoot two shots at the other side?"

Cao Xing used a telescope to measure the distance, and then raised his thumb to estimate. The opponent's camp was just within the range of the artillery. If a salvo fired at this moment, it would definitely cause chaos to the enemy.

Lu Bu opened a bottle of Coke, took a sip, and then threw it to Cao Xing:

"Keep it for now, and then fire on the opposite side when the pontoon bridge is built, so as not to interfere with the construction of the pontoon bridge... You can take the people to set up camp, and I will go to the real world and transport the pontoon bridge and all the supplies."

The pontoon bridge at Pubanjin has been built, and the left army led by Zhao Yun should have arrived.

At that time, let him and Xun You do their best, while Lu Bu himself will rush to Tongguan and build a pontoon bridge at Fenglingdu to clear the way for the middle army led by Ji Ling and Du Ji.

The Central Route Army had few enemies to face. It only had to wipe out Hebei County to the north of the Yellow River and south of Zhongtiao Mountain, which is now Ruicheng County.

After the area was cleared, some people were left to garrison. The large group of troops joined Zhao Yun and began to sweep across Pusang County and Guan Yu's hometown of Jie County.

Lu Bu continued on his way to Shaanxi County to build a third pontoon bridge there.

Lu Bu and Gao Shun would personally lead their troops across the river, then cross the relatively flat gap in Zhongtiao Mountain, penetrate directly into the hinterland of Hedong County, and attack Anyi with thunderous means.

Anyi is the seat of Hedong County. As long as it is captured, the entire Hedong County will be quickly wiped out.

As for the governor Wang Yi, he will naturally be escorted to Chang'an for trial... You have been given many opportunities to surrender, but you have been stubbornly resisting. Tian Feng can only be punished.

Lu Bu came to the real world without making any stops. He drove a forklift and transported a stack of pontoon boards to the book world.

The first time he saw a forklift, Cao Xing fell in love immediately:

"General, can this thing be used in battle?"

"Yes, but the speed is too slow. If you want to rush into the battle, an excavator is better. The shovel head is straightened and rotated, killing and injuring many people. It is easier to use than a forklift."

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he pointed at these boards and said:

"There are instructions on the side. You try to put them together first. This pile can be put together into a whole piece."

When Cao Xing heard this, he immediately remembered the Lego blocks he played with a few days ago and asked excitedly:

"What about after you finish putting it together? Just throw it into the water?"

"Your brain was eaten by Wei Xu? Wouldn't it float away if you threw it into the water? Put it all together and put it by the water. Wait for me to get the assault boat over, and then put it back together in the river."

Each stack of bridge boards can be assembled into a long board of about eight meters, with a buoyancy tank fixed underneath.

After placing it in the water, put it together piece by piece and tighten it with thicker and longer screws. A super-hard steel bar will be worn on both sides to fix it to resist the impact of water flow.

In the future, when Hadong County is taken over, both ends of the pontoon bridge will be specially covered with concrete, and a bridge plate that can move up and down will be connected to each other, so that the pontoon bridge will automatically rise or fall with the water level.

Except for the flood season and the wandering season, which need to be temporarily dismantled, the rest of the time can be fixed in the Yellow River for a long time.

With the pontoon bridge, the salt and iron from Hedong County can be continuously transported to Chang'an to support the Guanzhong Plain, and can also be sent to Luoyang to support the war in the Central Plains.

However, the salt production in Hedong County is still too small. When Liu Xie is older in two years, Lu Bu will be asked to look for the famous salt lakes on the plateau and drive the eight wheels of the excavator through the real world to Chang'an. Thousands of tons.

By the way, give some to other worlds, so that you don't have to buy salt from the real world, and you can also have one more way to control the economy.

Salt and iron have always been a material that was strictly controlled by ancient society, so there were yamen specializing in salt and iron.

Solving this problem once and for all now will be of great help to the stability of the court.

After Li Yu learned about the progress of each world in front of the statue, he returned to the B&B hand in hand with Diao Chan, and happened to meet Lu Bu transporting materials for building a pontoon bridge.

"Brother Xian, I have arrived at Kasakajin, and there are enemy troops guarding the opposite side."

Li Yu said:

"I just watched it. You just take this opportunity to practice landing on the beach... After the assault boat is transported over, you can drive it in the water to get used to it. Once you are familiar with it, you can start setting it up."

"Don't worry, I just tied pendants on all the assault boats."

With the blessing of a lucky cat, there will never be any danger during the construction process.

All the supplies were packed into a format that was convenient for forklift loading and unloading. Li Yu couldn't help, so he and Diao Chan went upstairs. One of them taught himself high school knowledge, and the other sat in front of the computer and placed an order for a batch of computer chairs for Sun Facai.

In addition to the computer chair, I also bought a set of sofas suitable for pregnant women to sit and lie down on. As for various supplements during pregnancy, they were all arranged.

Lu Bu transported all the supplies, put the assault boat into the water, filled it with gasoline, then started it, pulling Cao Xing with him, and turned around twice in the water.

Cao Xing looked at it for a while, and after groping it for a while, he started to drive another boat around in the Yellow River.

This movement attracted the defenders on the other side. Many people stretched their necks to look. They had never seen a ship that could run so fast in the water.

Soon, a dozen specially selected soldiers from the imperial army learned how to operate the assault boat.

Seeing that the soldiers on the other side were waiting in full formation, Lu Bu deliberately approached the other side and fired for a while. This was not only a provocation, but also consumed the other side's attention.

A quick burst of strength, then failure, three times exhaustion... Since it is recorded in the Art of War, as a hussar general, we naturally have to use it skillfully.

While everyone was practicing the assault boat, Lu Bu drove the forklift back to the real world and transported away several cement piles.

He asked people to drive two cement piles on the shore and use them to fix the floating bridge.

Now the equipment is complete, but Zhao Yun has not arrived yet, so the bridge cannot be built for the time being. We have to wait.

Once Zhao Yun arrives, the bombardment, bridge building, and beaching will be completed in one go. After crossing the river, they will strike while the iron is hot and quickly occupy Puyang County. In this way, the imperial army will be like a nail buried in Hedong County.

After crossing the river at Puyangjin, the cavalry of Zuo Xianwang will definitely move here, unconsciously creating a good start for Gao Shun's right army.

Standing on the shore, Lu Bu chewed the naan with effort, picked up the walkie-talkie and asked Zhao Yun:

"Zilong, where are you?"

"General, Mr. Gongda and I will arrive tomorrow morning. Is there any war?"

"No, you can come at a normal speed."

Lu Bu told Cao Xing to guard the camp, drove a bulldozer back to the real world, and prepared to have a dinner.

When he arrived at the kitchen, Li Yu was sitting in the dining room, watching TV and removing meat from the bones.

As the saying goes, the most delicious thing is meat on the bones, and you can never get enough of it!

Remove the meat from the big bones, and simply add some balsamic vinegar and garlic paste to make a delicious dish.

Unlike braised big bones and sauced big bones, boneless meat can be eaten hot or cold, which is very suitable for summer.

Especially with balsamic vinegar and garlic paste, even people with no appetite can eat half a pound.

When Lu Bu saw Li Yu removing the bones, he quickly washed his hands and came to help.

But although he said he was helping, he stuffed most of the removed meat directly into his mouth.

"What else will we eat tonight besides this?"

"And the pimple soup... When do you plan to cross the river?"

"Zilong will arrive tomorrow morning. I plan to start building the pontoon bridge in the morning. I will build half of it first, and then build the rest when Zilong comes. They will go directly to the other side and occupy Puban County before resting."

Li Yu didn't know much about the war, so he didn't express his opinion. He just told Lu Bu to fight quickly and decisively. The longer the time dragged on, the more miserable the people would be.

Before winter comes, Hedong County must be taken down, and the passage between Hedong County and Luoyang will be opened up to reduce obstacles for Zhong Yao who is in charge of Sizhou.

If possible, it is best to persuade Zhang Yang to surrender to the court, so that Henei County can be taken down without bloodshed, and the court army can fight with Yuan Shao in Hebei and Cao Cao in Yanzhou.

When they are fighting in Henei County, Huang Zhong can also go out of Hulao Pass and take the opportunity to take down Yingchuan County, the cradle of talents in the Three Kingdoms!

Li Yu reminded:

"The selection of the governor of Yingchuan County should be more cautious, otherwise it will not be able to suppress the Yingchuan aristocratic families."

In the past, the Yingchuan aristocratic families were mainly Xun family, but now all the Xun family members have moved to Guanzhong. The title of the head of the Yingchuan aristocratic family will most likely fall to the Chen family where Chen Qun is.

I don't know whether he will choose to fight against the court or obey the court. We can wait and see.

The Han Dynasty has nurtured scholars for four hundred years, but the aristocratic families have been stabbing the court. We must speed up the cultivation of the working class and make the aristocratic families feel a sense of crisis.

High-end emperors will divide the court officials into several factions, and then sit on the mountain as referees to watch the tiger fight, so that the court officials will be exhausted by internal consumption.

Although Li Yu does not intend to let Liu Xie do this, it is still very necessary to support a class that is opposed to the aristocratic families in the court.

When the aristocratic families have a sense of crisis, they will desperately prove their loyalty to the emperor.

And the way to prove it is naturally to implement benevolent policies, develop people's livelihood and other measures.

At the beginning of dinner, Lu Bu had already shown off his bellyful of meat.

He held a bowl of dumpling soup, added two spoonfuls of chili oil to it, and ate it in small sips, which made Yuwen Chengdu very strange:

"With the war coming, is Wenhou also under pressure?"

"What you said is right, my brother. When I think about fighting with the powerful Hedong County that has never been involved in a war, I feel nervous. It's a pity that no one is worried about me. I'm ashamed!"

Li Yu: ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

Yuwen Chengdu has decided to go to the Three Kingdoms, so there is no need for you to stand here and dig people out with a hoe, right?

Yuwen Chengdu said with a smile:

"Wen Hou, relax. I did a tactical simulation with the kid when I was free. You can definitely win. Don't be so tired that you can't eat. This is not the impression I have of Lv Wen Hou."

"Thank you for your comfort, brother. I feel much better now that you said that."

Wu Song came at mealtime, ate about three pounds of boneless meat with pancakes, drank a small bowl of dumpling soup, then drove to the factory, asked Hao Zhenzhen for leave, and then returned to the B&B, driving an electric five-wheeler and pulling away a carload of fruit hard candies.

Tens of thousands of people traveled a long distance, which was a test for the people who had never been out of the house.

So we had to give everyone fruit candies to replenish their energy and enjoy the beauty of life.

Not long after, Wu Song drove back with an empty electric five-wheeler, and said with emotion:

"Each person was given two candies. After eating the candies, they actually knelt down and kowtowed, saying that they had never eaten such delicious candies in their lives, and they wanted to build a temple to worship Brother Li."

Li Yu waved his hand quickly:

"Let them live their own lives with this time. By the way, when you are not busy, continue to support storytellers and spread the bad deeds of Song Jiang harming the people and occupying the magpie's nest."

Since Chao Gai has already abandoned the dark and joined the light, let's use it to do some publicity.

If it was just the beginning, Chao Gai might not be willing to do this, but now that the bandits in Liangshan have caused the people around them to leave their homes, he will probably feel very guilty.

Wu Song smiled and said:

"Chao Gai is indeed very guilty, and always feels sorry for the people. He also promised everyone that he would turn over a new leaf."

During the fishing period, Chao Gai's thoughts have probably changed a lot.

As for Lin Chong, he was actually awakened by Zhang Fei's scolding last time. Coupled with the changes in Liangshan in the past few months, he finally knows what he wants to do now.

In the evening, Li Yu and Professor Zhou finished their exercise and talked about the world of Water Margin and Yue Fei:

"I wonder if Lao Guan will take Changzhi in one go after taking Handan."

The Taihang Mountains span the north and south, becoming the dividing line between Shanxi and Hebei. However, near Handan, there is a narrow gap in the Taihang Mountains that leads directly to Changzhi surrounded by mountains.

If it can be taken, not only will a large area of ​​arable land be obtained, but also the coal and iron mines in Changzhi can be taken into the pocket.

But in this way, it will face Tian Hu head-on.

Now Xuande and his men are fighting against the court, Liangshan, and the Liao Dynasty. If Tian Hu is added, it may put their own forces in danger of being attacked from both sides.

Zhou Ruotong said:

"Wen Huanzhang and Liu Bei must have their own considerations. Let's let them play their own roles first, and then intervene if they can't. If we worry about everything, isn't this just an amateur guiding an expert?"

Li Yu nodded:

"You are right, let's try to let them play their own roles..."

As he was talking, Zhou Ruotong turned over and rode on Li Yu:

"Bad guy, where is the self-criticism you promised?"

Li Yu: "..."

Why did you bring this up again?

He quickly kissed Professor Zhou, and then handed in another form of self-criticism.

In the Three Kingdoms world, the east was already showing white, and a layer of mist was floating on the Yellow River.

Cao Xing drove a speedboat and quietly touched the other side with several of his men. By the way, he used a drone to scout the opponent's camp and prepare for the next artillery attack.

"Fuck, are they paranoid? There are trenches in the camp."

Cao Xing lowered the drone and counted carefully. There were four trenches in total. There were also a lot of wood cut into spikes buried in the trenches. Once you fall into it, you will most likely be pierced through.

However, digging trenches like this also set up obstacles for themselves.

Once there is a riot in the camp, the fleeing soldiers will fill up these trenches.

And riots are the inevitable consequence of shelling.

"Damn, clearing the docks creates conditions for building a pontoon bridge, and the trenches they dug set up obstacles for their own escape. Is the garrison here one of the secret service's own people? Why do they keep giving away?"

Cao Xing felt like he was playing Landlord with four left in his hand, and the other party came up and threw a three of diamonds.

This is a hard gift!

After the investigation, the group drove the assault boat and went back silently.

The general's tent, the personal soldiers' tent, the food and grass storage area, etc. in the camp have all been explored clearly.

When the bombardment starts later, we must bomb these places first, and try the latest shrapnel developed by Ling Zhen. Finally, we have to write an evaluation report after the war to give Ling Zhen feedback on the explosion effect.

Back on the shore, Lu Bu looked at the camp map and asked Cao Xing:

"How do you plan to fight?"

"In the first round, bombard the food and the general's tent, start a fire, and destroy the opponent's psychological defense... What do you think, general?"

Lu Bu drew a circle in the area of ​​food with a ballpoint pen:

"Bombard your own food, are you crazy? Try to avoid it and shoot into the crowd, especially the soldiers' barracks... You must remember that the most likely to cause riots in the camp are always the lowest-level soldiers. Once there is chaos, even the most combat-effective troops will become a mess."

Although decapitation operations and attacks on food and grass are useful, they are unnecessary.

After the emergence of cross-era weapons, it is better to convey infinite fear than to attack limited targets.

As long as they have been bombarded, these Three Kingdoms vagrants who have never been exposed to modern technology will repeat their nightmares over and over again like Xianglin Sao even if they escape.

Then this fear will spread and form a chain reaction.

Cao Xing secretly remembered it in his heart and adjusted the first round of strike targets, removing the food and grass and replacing it with the area where ordinary soldiers live.

Soon, breakfast was ready.

Each person had a bowl of meat soup noodles and a piece of naan, which gave them a sense of fullness and nutrition.

While eating, Lu Bu did not forget to communicate with Zhao Yun.

At this time, Zhao Yun was already ten miles away, and was ordering the soldiers to slow down, eat while walking, and try to maintain sufficient physical strength.

After Lu Bu and his men finished their meal, they began to build a pontoon bridge.

First, fix the first section of the pontoon bridge near the concrete piles on the shore, and then use a speedboat to drag the other section of the pontoon bridge into the water with a rope. The people on the first section of the pontoon bridge took screws to prepare for docking.

In this way, when Zhao Yun arrived, the pontoon bridge was half built.

In order to prevent the bridge from being swept away by the current, Lu Bu specially arranged two assault boats to pull the floating bridge in the opposite direction of the current.

After seeing Zhao Zilong on a white horse and a silver spear, Lu Bu took the walkie-talkie and gave an order to Cao Xing:

"Fire!"

Soon, a series of fierce cannon sounds echoed in the river, and black shells drew a beautiful parabola and accurately landed in the camp on the opposite bank.

"Boom!"

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!!!!!!!!"

The loud noises rang out one after another, and the soldiers of the Baibo Army were completely dumbfounded. Many people thought it was a punishment from heaven, and they quickly knelt down and kowtowed without any resistance.

Xun You rode on his horse, looking at the quickly built floating bridge, and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"With this, there will be no more obstacles on the world's rivers and lakes!"

This thing is a fool-proof operation. Everyone is getting more and more comfortable with it. Soon, the floating bridge was built on the other side.

At this time, the guard on the other side was in a panic and looked for someone to stop him, but it was too late. Zhao Yun rushed to the other side along the floating bridge that was more than two meters wide.

When building the defense line, he also drew his bow and shot an arrow, and shot the soldier in the arrow tower.

Zhang Xiu led the sword and shield soldiers to cross the river quickly, expanding the advantage of the beachhead, while the soldiers in the opposite camp were in chaos, and many people fell into the trenches they dug and died.

Lv Bu wanted to cross the river to see, but this one-sided scene made him lose interest instantly:

"Gongda, Zilong, you guys kill over, I'm going to Tongguan first!"

After that, he left two assault boats for emergency, led the remaining assault boats down the river, and headed straight for the famous ferry near Tongguan-Fenglingdu!
