Chapter 135 End The Battle Today [6/7]
"Okay, make the pontoon.
The first round of the attack by the Qingshi army had no effect except for dropping hundreds of corpses and consuming a wave of Su Chen's arrows.
On that day, the Qingshi army changed its strategy and began to use wood to build pontoon bridges on the river.
While building, the workers are protected with shields.
But when working every day, they have to face the attack of Su Chen's army all the time.
Two days later, the Qingshi Army did not have many casualties, but their craftsmen had more than a dozen casualties.
Immediately, the half-built pontoon bridge could no longer be built.
The workers dared not work during the day.
No one is not afraid of death.
General Fei Ning has nothing to do about it. He is not a cruel general with a reputation for brutality. On the contrary, General Fei Ning is more popular.
Although the family members of those craftsmen could threaten him, General Fei Ning couldn't bear to open this matter because of his reputation.
So they could only sneak around and build floating bridges in the dark.
But the efficiency of making pontoon bridges at night is not half that of daytime, and the lights are blind at night. For safety, they can't light the lights when they are working, otherwise they will be shot by random arrows from the other side.
In this way, three more days passed, and the pontoon bridge was not built much. Instead, three craftsmen were drowned at night.
It is not that General Fei Ning has not tried to let the army cross the river in other places.
But the river is only 100 meters wide, and the two sides line up on both sides of the river, and they can see clearly what the other side is doing.
Whenever he wants to send troops to land elsewhere, Su Chen can always send troops to stop them first.
Although they had more troops than Su Chen's, when they first crossed the river, they could only serve as live targets for Su Chen's army's bows and arrows on board.
And although they could bend their bows and shoot arrows on the boat, the density of their arrow rain was simply not comparable to Su Chen's. Without the protection of shields, it was almost possible for their arrows to fall into the river.
Moreover, the sporadic arrows they fired from the ship could not form clusters, and could not cause any damage to Su Chen's army at all.
After going back and forth for a few days, the army of Qingshi City was blocked by Su Chen's army.
If things go on like this, the morale of Qingshi's army has become a big problem.
Because they were only beaten, and did not cause any damage to the enemy.
"General, what should we do?"
"The morale of the army has dropped. If we can't cross the river to defeat Yan Yun's army, then sooner or later, we will be exhausted by Yan Yun's people and collapse."
A soldier next to him said with a sad face.
"If it doesn't work, then force them across the board!"
General Fei Ning gritted his teeth, he said.
"Forcing the river?"
The soldier was stunned for a moment, and then said: "General, if we forcibly cross the river, let alone whether we succeed or not, even if we cross the river, the casualties of the army will be a big problem."
"At that time, there will be a lot of casualties. With the morale of our current army, I am afraid that half of the river will be forced to cross the river, and some corps may collapse."
The soldier persuaded: "General, think again."
"General, we can do this, both ways!"
At this time another soldier said.
"Both ways?"
General Fei Ning was puzzled.
"Yes, we made some covered boats, so that we can not only resist arrows when crossing the river, but also play the role of a feint attack. Then we let the soldiers take those covered boats to pretend to attack and attract attention. , Then the other side sent people to make the pontoon as soon as possible.
"When the pontoon bridge is finished, we can cross the river with boats and pontoon bridges."
"It's like digging two roads at the same time, both ways!"
The attention of this personal soldier made General Fei Ning suddenly enlightened.
"That's right, you're right. Let's do this at the same time. As long as the troops successfully cross the river after finishing it, then we will win in close combat!"
General Fei Ning laughed loudly, and he patted the soldier on the shoulder: "That's right, your attention is good."
Soon, they implemented it.
Some roofs were built on more than ten small sampan boats to block the arrows, and then these boats were sent out.
Whether it's day or night, they all pretend to attack to attract the attention of Yan Yun's army.
Then the pontoon bridge on the other side also seized the time to start construction.
At the same time, it also consumes the arrows of Yan Yunling and the Linhai Department's coalition forces.
At first Su Chen was fooled, but after a few times, Su Chen understood.
These are feints.
The purpose is to consume them.
In the ancient history of Kyushu, there were so many wars and tactics. As a native of Kyushu, Su Chen naturally understood these things under the influence of history.
Soon, Su Chen issued an order not to shoot at those boats with roofs, and save the arrows.
Since it was useless to shoot, they had to wait until they were ashore and out of the boat before they could continue shooting.
In addition, continue to interfere with their floating bridge project. At this stage, the enemy's ships are not important, but the floating bridge is important.
The two sides were like this, back and forth, and another three days passed.
On this day, the pontoon bridge is finally going to be built.
Although it has not been fully built, and there is still a distance of more than ten meters from the opposite bank, the waters at this distance can only reach the waist of a person.
It can be passed directly.
And on this day, the Qingshi army's two-pronged attack finally began!
"This supposedly easy battle has dragged on for more than ten days. Today, it's time to end this battle!"
"The whole army, prepare to attack, victory must belong to our Qingshi City, enter the night!"
On April 23, the first year of the Matrix, in the morning, 1.7, General Fei Ning raised his long sword and let out a roar, all the troops of the Qingshi Army assembled, and the boats with and without roofs were full of people. Qingshi soldiers spread out on both sides of the pontoon bridge, almost covering the entire river surface.
On the pontoon bridge, there are also densely packed soldiers of the Qingshi army, wearing leather armor, flying saucer-shaped iron helmets, and holding shields and spears, charging forward and preparing to pass the pontoon bridge.
"Two-pronged approach, this battle will finally end today, Su Chen, you, a mere Yanyun leader, dare to stop me from attacking the Linhai Division, then follow the Linhai Division and destroy it together!"
The corners of General Fei Ning's mouth curled up, looking at the troops arrayed across the river.
