Chapter 211: Ferry (Part 1)

"Princess, do you want to learn the classics and poems of our Chinese family, and you still want to learn marching and fighting?" Li Wei was a little unhappy.

The barbarian woman is understandable if she doesn't know much about the matter, but how can she ask about the military deployment at will? But his displeasure undoubtedly plays the piano for the cow, and the princess is still asking: "I'm just worried that the fewer enemies, the better. Now there are many people and they are building stone walls. Isn't it more difficult to cross over?"

Li Wei flicked his sleeve and left.

Even the princess cannot say it.

But Li Wei was very calm, as if he had not seen the arrangement on the other side of the river, and arranged affairs easily. This calmness also infected the soldiers. Maybe his highness had any plans. For example, Changcaoling, of course, the battle was a small trial. A group of mobs, with a small number of people, occupied natural dangers, but he didn't even look at the road next to him, and he was not brave enough to win.

It was not unprepared. He summoned soldiers who were good at water and selected warriors in the middle. However, after selecting the candidates, he started training normally again, or he set up a lot of rafts. The soldiers were at ease, but some were not at ease. Xue Ne was a little younger after all, and had read many military strategies and understood a little.

It is still different from Changcaoling. The Longchuan River flows rapidly, and the enemy guards the upstream and downstream ferries. Other places cannot swim. Even if they can swim, they will be cliffs and dangerous ridges in the past, and they cannot perform any battles in Changcaoling. It also means that only a strong attack road can be delayed for a day, and the difficulty of a strong attack is increased. That is, there is no enemy reinforcement, and the stone wall becomes taller and taller, and it will almost become a city wall. How to cross it in the end?

He found Li Wei and said, "Your Highness, you can't delay any more."

After all, the prince had never fought a war, Pei Xingjian had no brilliant record, and Heichizhi always didn't understand it. When encountering difficulties, Xue Ne didn't believe it. Of course, his father would be calm here.

"Why?" Li Wei asked twitchyly.

"Your Highness, look at the opposite side," Xue Ne was a little anxious. I wonder if the prince was really confident and calm, or if he had such a personality.

"Xue Ne, what kind of enemy do you say is the most dangerous?"

This question was asked a little vaguely, and Xue Ne didn't know how to answer it for a while.

"You are talking to Gu now. If Gu fights you, who will win and who will lose?"

"It will be your Highness, it will be you." Xue Na hurted for a moment and finally answered honestly.

"But you are talking to Gu now. If someone suddenly touches you and tiptoes, and wants to harm you, how much chance of success will you have?"

Xue Na looked back unconsciously. Of course, there was no enemy. Li Wei said meaningfully: "The most dangerous enemy is the enemy behind you."

"But……"

"No, the enemy behind you is not dangerous, so add one, the enemy you unexpectedly comes from behind, is the most dangerous. Don't ask more questions."

"Here!" Since I said this, I knew that the prince had indeed made reliable arrangements, and he still had a low position and had no right to ask about it. Even so, it was still a benefit from his own light and his own light in the storytelling, otherwise Li Wei would not have said it.

On the fourth day of camping, Li Wei asked someone to buy more than 30 cows and more than 60 local old horses, and ordered the soldiers to slaughter and reward the three armies. However, it was very strange when slaughtering. In addition to slaughtering, only soldiers were allowed to break a hole in their abdomen. Whether the cowhide or horse skin must be kept intact, otherwise it would be handled by military law. He even sent a law enforcement team to supervise. The meat was almost dug out. After digging, the skin was immediately taken away by the law enforcement team.

The princess looked at him curiously and asked, "Prince, what are you doing?"

In fact, everyone else was curious, but unlike her, she was a remote barbarian, she didn't dare to ask.

"Cross the river," Li Wei replied honestly.

Everyone didn't believe in how to cross the river. Besides, many rafts have been woven, and there are enough tools to cross the river. If you just cross it, there will be heavy casualties. Moreover, there will be no more than two thousand soldiers with a good water quality. Most soldiers are probably unable to stand even if they don't pass the pontoon bridge or even if they get on the raft.

Li Wei didn't say anything more, but he was thinking in his heart that he didn't know how many cowhides he should use to make a hot air balloon, but he probably couldn't carry many people when he made it. Instead, he became a living target when he landed, which was not worth the effort. Besides, there were not many large livestock nearby, so he gave up.

Still very leisurely training or reading.

On the fifth day, actually on the first day of the second month, Li Wei issued another order, cutting green vines from the mountain, or buying hemp skin from nearby, weaving long ropes, and also tied ropes at the corners of the raft. He also sent someone to put some iron masks, but the law enforcement team guarded the masks and did not allow people to watch them. After finishing, he ate beef and horse meat, trained, and in the afternoon, he ordered a rest directly.

At this moment, almost everyone who didn't know the inside story was confused.

As night falls, it is the beginning of the moon again, and a lot of water mist rises, almost without five fingers on the opposite side. Although self-confidence does not mean being arrogant, it also prevents the opposition from counterattacking. After all, there are dangers of river ferry and many ships have been plundered. In terms of the number of soldiers, it is probably a lot. Therefore, the patrol of the Tang Dynasty camp is closer. On a very normal night, the princess sits by the river and plays a flute.

Li Wei walked over and asked, "Why don't you fall asleep until now?"

"I just can't sleep. I don't know how many people will die when the war begins."

"It's a war, and people will die. So I told you that day that if the world is in trouble, there will be no war."

"Crown Prince, you will die. Wouldn't you feel uncomfortable?"

"It is uncomfortable, but kindness does not mean weakness, nor does it mean the kindness of a woman. In fact, the orphans do not want to die many people, but what if they don't fight? The rebels will quickly occupy Yaozhou, then Kunzhou, Huichuan, Lingzhou, and Rongzhou, and many tribes will be killed and captured like your Wanjian tribe."

When talking about his own tribe, although the princess was kind-hearted, she was silent.

The two sat quietly for a while, and Li Wei said, "Go back and rest. In a few days, we will be able to go to Yaozhou City and conquer Yaozhou City. Gu sent people to ask about the whereabouts of your acquitted tribes. I hope they are still in the Shun tribe. If they are captured in Tubo, Gu will have nothing to do."

"Tibet?"

"Well, there are also Tubo, but there are not many people. Their situation is not good now, so they dare not go to war directly with our Tang Dynasty."

"By the way, my subjects heard that Tubo was better than your Han family in the north?"

"Occasionally failure is common for military strategists. Besides, how many people in the Tang Dynasty were, how many people were in Tubo. How rich were our Tang Dynasty and how much supplies were, they were in Tubo. Even if they won once and twice, if war started, it would consume Tubo's national strength and be in poverty and divided. So Tubo didn't want to fight."

Not only that, Tuyuhun and the Western Regions were settled, and Tubo could fight, and the wolf's heart was always wild. But even Li Wei was unwilling to say such words that were losing one's ambition. Of course, he made sense, but the first premise was that the Tang Dynasty could maintain such development from generation to generation. A generation was in chaos and everything was in chaos, which was the biggest disadvantage of imperial feudalism.

The princess blinked and didn't say anything.

The night became quiet, and the fog on the river surface was heavier. Even if it was just a river, looking at the opposite side, there were dark shadows, not very real.

Gradually, it was the third o'clock, and a sound of snoring sounds sounded in the barracks, and suddenly there was a shout of killing on the other side of the river. It was not until this time that the Tang army blew the real gathering horn. All the soldiers got up one by one, and hurriedly put on their armor. Then they watched countless fires flashing and moving on the other side of the river, because the fog was heavy, and it was not clear. But you could know the fierceness of the war on the other side from the previous soldiers to die or the screams of severely injured. Even the princess and sisters put on their clothes and walked out.

I couldn't help but look at the left and right with a suspicion. After roughly estimating, the soldiers did not decrease. One by one, was the one who came fighting against the enemy?

Li Wei began to order: "Black teeth are always there."

"arrive!"

“Prepare now.”

More than 10,000 people could not hear it. Li Wei ordered that the soldiers would pass it back one by one before they could know what order they gave. He ordered the two hundred warriors who were summoned yesterday to stand up. Then he ordered to carry out some things. They were the cowhide and horse skin left yesterday, but the cut cracks were all tightly sewn with thread, leaving only a hole. The soldiers started to blow air in it with a hose. Then he opened several other boxes, which were some masks made today. They were very ugly and painted some color, which looked very ferocious and terrifying. He asked the two hundred soldiers to take off their clothes and send someone to paint color on their bodies again.

Even now, in addition to those who know the inside story, there is nothing wrong with it.

Then he ordered Ma Renjing and Han Qingyu to lead 1,500 soldiers with good water properties to start preparing to swim. But he pulled out the rope and tied it to the blowing horse tails and ox tails. Then he put on black teeth and Changzhi and put on the mask.

These two hundred soldiers were carefully selected. They not only have good water properties, but also have a strong body. They are covered with oil paint and wear masks. They look a little better during the day. This night is dark and the mist is heavy. Standing under the torch, they all look like devils coming out of hell.

Heichi Changzhi looked at his subordinates on both sides and suddenly burst into laughter. This smile woke everyone up, otherwise they would be scared by the appearance of these two hundred people. The cows and horses were all blown away, and they were also unreal, as if they were live cows and horses. But it was very light, and the two people carried them to the riverside.

Li Wei then said, "Prepare to cross the river."

The soldiers began to set up rafts, but they did not let Ma Renjing and the others board the rafts, but instead asked Heichi Changzhi to lead two hundred soldiers to carry shields and Mo Dao and other weapons, hold torches in their hands, and board the cowhide boat and the horse Dao. The powerful soldiers directly regarded Mo Dao as the boat paddle and began to row to the other side of the river.

At first, the soldiers were stunned. It turned out that cowhide and horse skin could really carry people across the river. Even the princess opened her mouth wide and could not close for a long time. After a while, Xue Na suddenly clapped her hands and said, "Wonderful!"

This night, he looked like he was standing on the back of a live cow and horse, crossing the river to the other side. These barbarians always believed in ghosts and gods the most, and some of them believed in some evil gods. When they saw it, they thought that some people rushed over?

Di Renjie also said: "What a brilliant plan."

Li Wei did not listen to their feelings and ordered: "Ma Renjing, Han Qingyu, Du!"
