Farmer of Shu Han

"Wow!"

The temporarily sawn logs were piled up by the water, and then tied side by side with thick Nanxiang hemp rope.

"puff!"

"puff!"

Someone took out a shriveled sheepskin and blew it vigorously.

Of course, there are also some people who are loud, take out the cowhide, and start to brag about the cowhide.

Using sheepskin rafts and cowhide rafts to cross the water was only popular in Liangzhou.

After all, there are flocks of cattle and sheep in Liangzhou, so it is easier to get sheepskin and cowhide.

Later, Feng Duhu took charge of Liangzhou, and Ji Han had his own animal husbandry base.

Coupled with the support of silage technology and captive breeding technology, as well as the high profits of wool spinning workshops, the development of Liangzhou's animal husbandry can be described as rapid.

And the rapid development of animal husbandry can provide enough leather for the army.

The processed sheepskin is extremely light in weight and can be folded up on weekdays without taking up any space at all.

Once it's time to cross the water, just take it out and blow it.

After blowing, tie several sheepskins together to form a sheepskin raft.

It can also be tied around the bamboo raft or wooden raft to increase the load of the raft.

Cavalry crossing water can also use this thing.

Tie the blown sheepskin to the horse, and with the help of the horse's swimming ability, you can even cross great rivers.

How could King Feng Gui let go of such a sharp weapon for crossing water?

Naturally, it is vigorously promoted in the military.

Shi Bao said that he would try to cross the water immediately, which is why he has the confidence.

"Wow!"

Soon, the first raft was pushed into the water.

Then the second, the third...

"Quick, keep up!"

A team leader stood in the water and greeted loudly:

"Big, big bastard, hurry up!"

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers carrying the big pole quickly jumped onto the raft, and with a bang, they raised the big pole to the front.

The team led the second to keep up, stood behind the soldiers, waved and said:

"The ones behind, keep up!"

The soldiers who had been waiting in line by the water began to board the raft one after another.

After a while, the raft was full of people.

All of them were only wearing light leather armor, and even the team leader did not wear armor with better protection.

The reason is very simple. In addition to reducing the weight so that the raft can carry more people, there is also a high probability of falling into the water when crossing.

Wearing leather armor, as long as he is not shot to death by an arrow, after falling into the water, he might be rescued by the people behind him.

If you are wearing iron armor, you will sink to the bottom if you really fall into the water, and you will have no chance at all.

Among the soldiers on the raft, the few standing at the front had dull, even indifferent faces.

As if he didn't care what was on the other side.

They just stood quietly, except for someone occasionally stroking the weapons in their hands, there was no other movement.

These people are all veterans of hundreds of battles, they have already engraved the fight into their bones, and they have rolled at the death line many times.

Compared to their calmness, the soldiers following them were more or less nervous.

From the blue veins in their hands holding the weapons tightly, it can be seen that their hearts are not peaceful.

Although the Tuchen army had undergone rigorous training, they also fought a not easy battle at Gaoping Pass.

But they still have a long way to go if they want to be like the leading veterans.

And this road is likely to be the distance between life and death.

However, those who were selected to cross over did not have much fear on their faces, and they were able to obey the commander's orders in an orderly manner, which is rare and precious.

As long as time passes, after they have experienced actual combat, it will be a matter of time before they become elite soldiers - the premise is that they can survive.

Just like the current forced crossing, even if they can succeed, as the pioneers, it is normal for them to suffer six to seven out of ten casualties.

If you can't succeed, it is a narrow escape.

The actions of the Han army quickly attracted the attention of the Wei army on the other side.

"General, it's not good, the thief is going to cross the water!"

"What!"

General Wei became anxious when he got the news, he almost trotted all the way up the watchtower, and fixed his eyes on it.

Although he couldn't see it clearly, he could still see the raft moving towards him.

"It's just crazy!"

After confirming that the Han army was indeed running, General Wei's face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but curse:

"Crazy! Crazy!"

Who is leading the way?

So unreasonable!

How can anyone organize a wading immediately after arriving?

You don't want to camp?

You don't want to rest?

It's just that he doesn't take the lives of the soldiers under his eyes seriously, and he is not afraid of the soldiers' mutiny!

General Wei cursed viciously in his heart, but he didn't dare to neglect at all:

"Come on!"

"General?"

"Organize everyone immediately and prepare to meet the enemy!"

"Here!"

General Wei ran down the watchtower again cursing.

He had to go to the front and personally prevent the pirates from landing.

The raft gradually passed the middle of the water and began to enter the east side of Danshui.

And the Wei army on the east bank also began to line up on the bank according to the predetermined plan, waiting for it.

Seeing that they entered the range of the bow and crossbow, the battle drums of the Wei army sounded.

"Let the arrow!"

"Peng!"

Following the first arrow, there was a dense rain of arrows, which were thrown into the air and fell towards the first batch of rafts.

"Raise the shield!"

Although the big cockroach can block the arrows in front of it, it can't block the arrow feathers falling from the air.

Fortunately, almost all the soldiers on the raft also brought bucklers.

All raised their bucklers while huddling as much as possible, exposing their bodies as little as possible.

The first wave of arrow feathers did not cause too much damage to the Han army. More arrow feathers fell into the water, splashed harmless water, and finally went down the river.

But as the raft continued to move forward, the rain of arrows that was far stronger and denser than the first wave of arrow feathers soon came again.

This time, someone in the Han army finally let out a scream.

"Don't move, hold on!!"

Seeing that the rookie recruit next to him was injured, he couldn't help but want to shrink back.

The veteran quickly scolded loudly.

But the piercing sound coming from the ear, as well as the piercing pain coming from the body, the great terror between life and death, made the recruits unable to control the instinct of survival at all.

With this movement, his body was exposed more and more.

Soon, another arrow hit him.

"ah!"

The recruit rolled over in pain.

The small raft had no extra room for him to roll over, and there was only a "plop" sound, and he quickly fell into the water.

"help me!"

The icy water seemed to calm him down, but it also seemed to make him panic even more.

After gulping and gulping a few sips of water, he struggled to get his head out, waving his hands wildly, crying and yelling.

Seeing the comrades who live together day and night struggling between life and death, many people can't help showing a look of unbearable in their eyes.

"Hold it!"

Shi Zhang grabbed the bamboo pole on the raft and passed it over, shouting, "Hurry up!"

The soldiers who were sinking desperately grabbed the life-saving bamboo pole.

"Others don't move!"

Seeing that someone wanted to reach out to help, Chief Shi hurriedly stopped him, "Protect yourselves! No one is allowed to move!"

Then he looked at the soldiers who fell into the water, "Hold tight, don't let go, if you let go, you will die."

"Pull me, pull me up..."

The soldiers in the water were begging.

"Hold on to the pole, don't let go, stick to the shore, and then find a way to climb up by yourself."

The raft was full of people, and there was not much room for movement. If you really tried to save him, you would only get more people on the raft shot by arrows.

More importantly, saving him up now will inevitably delay time, not only blocking the raft behind, but also delaying the landing on the beach.

While speaking, Wei Jun's arrow feathers became more dense.

The soldiers paddling on the raft also gritted their teeth and tried their best to make the raft faster and faster, trying to cross the last section of water.

Shi Changtu felt that the pole in his hand was light, and knew something was wrong.

Looking intently, he saw that the soldier who fell into the water had let go of his hands, his body rolled a few times with the waves, and then gradually turned into a black shadow in the water, and finally disappeared.

On the surface of the water, there is nothing but a trace of blood that is gradually turning red.

The spray from the nearby raft swept across the blood line, and finally merged with the water flow, no different.

The look in Shi Chang's eyes darkened, then he retracted the pole silently, and began to grip his weapon tightly again.

...

After suffering considerable casualties, the first raft finally hit the rocks on the shore.

"boom!"

The sheepskin was overwhelmed and broke with a loud noise.

But it didn't matter anymore, the soldiers of the Han army on the raft jumped down one after another with a shout and rushed forward.

The last wave of Wei Jun's arrow feathers followed, and then Wei Jun's halberds, spears and spears, which had been waiting on the shore for a long time, began to pierce.

Several of the Han army rushing to the front were provoked high, and they died without even uttering a miserable cry.

The leather armor on them couldn't stop the pricking of these long weapons at all.

"Mu!"

"Wow!"

A few large cymbals that had just been formed temporarily could not block the crazy attacks of so many weapons.

After rushing to the shore, the Han army couldn't get a firm foothold, so they were pushed back.

"Ah! Kill!"

The team led several veterans to form the most typical group formation of the Han army, the three-talented formation, and rushed to the front bravely.

Blocking, stabbing, slashing, alternating cover...

Wei Jun was caught off guard, and finally there were casualties.

"Follow! Cover!"

Shi Da shouted, and led the people below to fill in this rare gap.

With the river behind him, there was no way to retreat. In addition, they came here with the will to die. The remaining Han troops all shouted and followed bravely without fear of death.

"Hold it, you must stand it, there are not many of them, and you can bury them to death!"

General Wei Jun also urged the people below to drive them up.

Bloody flowers floated up, the fishy smell filled the air, the swords clashed, and the nose, mouth, and ears all felt uncomfortable.

"It's a pity that there are so many good sons..."

Holding up his binoculars, Hu Zun observed the battle on the other side with a sad expression and sighed regretfully.

No one in the Han army retreated, because they knew that there was no way to retreat.

But facing the Wei army whose number was several times that of their own, they fought and fought with the last bit of strength, but they were finally submerged in the crowd of Wei army.

These people are all people who broke Chen Jun by themselves!

They are all rare soldiers.

"It's not a pity. Tomorrow, I will personally sacrifice and bury them."

Shi Bao put down the binoculars, with a solemn face and deep eyes.

"tomorrow?"

Hu Zun was startled, "General Zhonglang means that tomorrow..."

"Let the soldiers continue to cut wood and build rafts. Tomorrow, I will cross the Danshui!"

"General Zhonglang, this..."

Shi Bao turned to look at Hu Zun, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, pointing to the other side:

"General Hu, have you ever noticed the weirdness of Wei thief?"

Hu Zun, who had always been attracted by the brutal fight on the other side, and who still felt sorry for so many good men, couldn't help but secretly screamed ashamed.

"The last general is ignorant, please enlighten me."

"Fake!" Shi Bao stared at the opposite bank, "The camps of the bandits are fake, or they are empty. The bandits didn't deploy too many troops on the other side!"

"What!" Hu Zun couldn't help being shocked when he heard the words, "How is it possible!"

Earlier, the scouts had detected that the thieves were on guard on the other side.

"Has General Hu noticed that after our people crossed the water, the thieves only gathered there, and according to my observation, there were only a few thousand people."

"On both sides of the crossing point, there are no extra troops to protect the two wings. This is not in line with the way of formation."

"If we had stretched the battle line just now and crossed the water in a big way, the thieves might be at a loss."

When Hu Zun heard this, he was taken aback immediately. He raised the binoculars again to observe carefully. After a while, he put it down, with a look of surprise on his face:

"As General Zhong Lang said, the formation of the thieves seems a bit strange."

He looked at Shi Bao with admiration in his eyes.

It really makes sense for Zhonglang to be valued by Feng Duhu.

Hu Zun asked in a low voice:

"According to General Zhonglang, does the thief have another plan? Or is there an ambush?"

Shi Bao shook his head confidently:

"It may be possible if it is changed to another place, but with the current situation of Shangdang, I am afraid that the thieves have no intention of defending this place at all."

"General Hu, don't forget that General Zhendong has gone south from Taiyuan to enter Shangdang."

"If the thieves are dragged here by us, let's not say that they will not be able to defend the Shangdang at that time, I am afraid that even they will be blocked by the eldest son."

Hu Zun was startled:

"General Zhonglang means, is the thief planning to escape? Or is he planning to guard Huguan?"

Shi Bao said firmly: "Nine out of ten times they want to escape!"

Want to guard the pot?

Why do they keep it?

As he said that, Shi Bao said "hey" again, "It seems that the thief general is probably not a simple character, he is very decisive!"

Sima Yi was forced by General Zhendong to flee from Jingxing to Jizhou. Presumably, he must have notified the Shangdang bandit army in advance to make them ready.

The thieves of Shangdang probably decided to abandon Danshui immediately after learning about General Zhendong's movements.

Therefore, there are many camps on the other side, not only because it is too late to dismantle them, but also because they want to use empty camps to deceive themselves and delay time.

"Fortunately, General Zhonglang caught him by surprise and sent someone to try to cross the water, otherwise I'm afraid we wouldn't have discovered the thief's trick!"

Hu Zun was also the leader of the army, after Shi Bao's analysis, he immediately reacted.

"General Hu, I'm afraid you will have to work harder for today and tomorrow, and urge the soldiers to build more rafts, so that the whole army can cross the water tomorrow."

"How dare you talk about hard work when it comes to your duties?"

Shi Bao and Hu Zun had already negotiated, and the two acted separately.

Hu Zun went down to arrange for the Chen army to attack, while Shi Bao went to the engineering battalion.

I believe that with the help of the engineering camp, this matter will be much faster.
