back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 796
"Report!!!"

A scout, riding a fast horse, shouted while galloping.

Among the vanguard troops of the Cochin Army, the vanguard general Chen Gai felt a little uneasy: "Could it be that the bridge on the Yuhong River was destroyed by the Han people?" He vowed to tell the commander-in-chief Taiwei Guo Qingri that he would definitely arrive at the city of Qinzhou this afternoon, but if If the bridge is destroyed, they will have to take a long detour and forcibly cross the river from a gentler and shallower section of the river.In this way, it is certainly impossible to reach Qinzhou City in a short time.

"How about the bridge ahead?"

Chen Gai asked eagerly.

"Reporting to the general, the bridge ahead is safe, and the Han people did not destroy the bridge..."

Chen Gai was very surprised by the scout's answer: "Impossible, along the way, the Han people already knew about the arrival of my Cochin army, so why didn't they destroy the bridge?"

The scout had already thought up his rhetoric: "Reporting to the general, this bridge is made of marble, which is durable and cannot be completely destroyed for a while. Besides, although the Han people are rich, they cannot build bridges every year..." The implication is that Yes, if Jiaozhi came to attack every year, wouldn't the Han people destroy and build bridges every year?Even if you have millions of dollars in wealth, you can't help but spend it like this!The Han people are not stupid. When you come, I will fight against you.If you don't get any benefits, you will naturally leave.Why should I work so hard, not to mention the loss of life, but the money can't be kept?

Of course, this was just Chen Gai's own speculation, as for the real situation, he had no idea at all.

In the city of Qinzhou, the magistrate of Qinzhou also asked Zhekexing why he didn't destroy the stone bridge on the Yuhong River so that the Cochin army could go straight to the city of Qinzhou without hindrance?Zhe Kexing explained with a smile: "There is a saying in the book of war. If it is false, it will be true, and if it is true, it will be false. I deliberately did not destroy the bridge, so that Annan people would be suspicious and afraid of an ambush. Instead, they will take every step. The power of blowing dust will delay his marching speed. Moreover, destroying a stone bridge will not help at all if he wants to protect Qinzhou City. The Annan people are determined to take Qinzhou City, so no matter what, they will reach Qinzhou City. How can I block them on the Yuhong River when I go out of the city to fight back?"

Zhizhou understood that all Zhe Kexing did was thinking about how to annihilate this invading enemy.But he was still a little worried: "General, I heard that Annan's army has 10 people, and I wait for less than [-]. How can we beat the Annan people?"

Zhe Kexing said with a smile: "Sun Tzu's Art of War says, 'Soldiers don't benefit from many soldiers, but without military advancement, they are enough to unite forces, predict the enemy, and capture people. The only thing you can do is to capture the enemy if you don't worry about it.' Although there are many enemy troops, in my eyes, they are nothing more than mobs. In recent years, the Holy Majesty has rectified the military equipment, cleared the universe, and the combat power of the forbidden army is not the same as before. If there are 20 or [-] enemy troops, so what? A plate of loose sand will collapse when struck!"

Zhe Kexing is not aimless. In terms of the combat effectiveness of the Frontier Army and the Forbidden Army, the Frontier Army may have outperformed the Forbidden Army by a lot.But since Lu Chengqi went all out to reorganize the army, the fighting power of the forbidden army has soared.In addition, they participated in the suppression of bandits, enhanced their actual combat capabilities, and cooperated even better. With the latest firearms, the more than 4 forbidden troops, under normal circumstances, would never be afraid of Annan's 10 troops.Besides, Annan's [-] army, how much water is in it, I don't know yet!Fighting is actually about logistics. No matter how rampant the Annan people are, they dare not not bring food and grass, right?Food and grass need to be transported by auxiliary soldiers, right?Calculated in this way, [-] people can have [-] soldiers, which is too much.

Zhe Kexing was also from the army, and he could tell the combat effectiveness of the soldiers at a glance.In ancient times, the commanding ability of mid- and low-level officers was highly valued. Often, mid- and low-level officers were slaughtered by the enemy, and it was very difficult to defeat the enemy.Most of the officers of the Forbidden Army have been trained by the Royal Military Academy, and it is simply a piece of cake for them to cooperate in combat and command a group or a battalion of soldiers.It is also only the forbidden army that has this kind of treatment.Although the frontier army also has officers sent to the Royal Military Academy, the proportion must be much smaller.

This is true for officers, let alone soldiers.Dashun's army is a truly professional army.After joining the army, the basic task is to train and prepare for battle.Unlike the previous dynasties, what kind of military system is still in place, and they have to farm while fighting.Where does such a soldier have time to practice?Since Lu Chengqi started the reform of the Forbidden Army, the training of the Forbidden Army has been almost rain or shine. Except for holidays and holidays, morning exercises are required, followed by literacy, reading military books, and practicing martial arts by yourself... Anyway, apart from eating and sleeping, you don't want to stop.How can such professional and formalized training be compared to those of Annan's soldiers who have only practiced hastily?During this period of time, Zhe Kexing checked the training of the forbidden army, and was secretly startled.Before they knew it, the Forbidden Army had surpassed the Frontier Army and became the most powerful army in Dashun.

With this level of confidence, Zhe Kexing said to the Zhizhou: "Don't worry, the city of Qinzhou will not be broken, and the [-] Annan people are doomed!"

After Zhizhou got the words of Zhe Kexing, he retreated with a little peace of mind.

After noon, the explorer reported that the vanguard of the Jiaozhi army was less than fifty miles away from Qinzhou City, and it was estimated that they would arrive at Qinzhou City within half an hour.

Zhe Kexing had already put on a suit of armor, and even Nazhizhou got an iron helmet, put it on his head, and accompanied Zhe Kexing to the city wall, ready to personally command the battle.In the city of Qinzhou, in the Urn City on all sides, [-] forbidden troops have already ambushed, ready to go.

As for various defensive tools, such as bed crossbows, trebuchets, various types of wood, such as yaksha, brick, mud, wood, cart, naihe wood, falling stones, spikes, etc. There are also wooden curtains, cloth curtains, leather curtains, etc. hanging on the outside of the crenel, and bamboo stands, wooden stands, grate fences, leather bamboo fences, city shields and other shielding equipment erected on the city wall to block the attack. The arrowheads and stones smashed by the enemy army in the city; there are boards, secret doors, gate cards, plug door knife carts, wooden female heads and wooden female walls to strengthen the defense of the city gates and battlements, so that the city gates, When the parapet was destroyed, these devices were used for emergency relief to prevent the enemy from rushing into the city from the breach; forks and poles that held up the enemy's ladders to approach the city were piled up on the city wall.

Zhe Kexing and Zhizhou went up the city wall and entered the enemy building.The watchtowers extend from the city gate to the left and right sides, and are built at a certain distance. The watchtowers at the corners of the city walls are called group buildings.And it was Tuanlou that Zhe Kexing entered.The regiment building can accommodate 20 soldiers, and it is equipped with heavy destroying weapons and equipment such as bed crossbows, catapults, rolling wood and rocks to form a key defense, and together with the soldiers lined up behind the female wall, they form crossfire.Because troops can be stored, once there are casualties, soldiers can be sent to make up for them immediately, so as to avoid defensive gaps.

As for the suspension bridge under the city, it has been raised long ago, and people are not allowed to enter or leave.Inside and outside the moat, except for the suspension bridge, there are densely packed with caltrops, ground astringents, horse pits, iron water chestnuts, traps and other things that hinder the enemy's advance. look like.

When the imperial army sharpened their knives, the vanguard of the Jiaozhi army appeared in sight, and the battle was imminent.
