Through the curtain, I admired the Fen River water not far away. Although it was almost Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather still seemed very hot. Unfortunately, it was a battle now. Otherwise, it would be very pleasant to go in and swim around. Moreover, with such a clear river, there might be many fish and shrimp.

Just as this young master was thinking about it, Yang Gong said that this girl actually came to me.

"My brother, what should you do in your opinion?" In the end, Yang Gongdao, who sat in the main seat and pretended to be a clay bodhisattva for a long time, looked on the young master.

After returning to his senses, this young master narrowed his eyes. After thinking about it, his heart moved: "The Turkic people should not know the nature of water, right?"

"The Turks are further north than us, living in the vast grasslands and Gobi. How can people who live in such places know the nature of water?" Zhao Gan, general of Zuotun Guard, glanced at me and answered directly.

I nodded, and the vague thoughts in my heart gradually became clear. "Who has a longer range than the Turkish crossbow?"

Zhao Gan replied without thinking. "Of course, our crossbow is farther away. The Turks are good at shooting, but their bows are not as good as our Great Sui Dynasty. Generally, it is between seventy and eighty steps. The horn bows in the army of our Great Sui Dynasty can be attacked from a distance of ninety to one hundred steps, while ordinary crossbows can be attacked from a distance of one hundred and fifty steps."

One hundred and fifty steps, that is, the shooting distance of the crossbow can reach more than 200 meters, which is one-third more than the bow. Of course, the so-called crossbows in later generations are not as far away as they are completely used in later generations that do not have arrow feathers, only pursue destructive power, or only pursue standardization.

In this era, the difference between arrows and crossbow arrows is not very big, and it can even be used for crossbow arrows and feather arrows. Moreover, the ancient "Weigong Military Art" also records that the crossbower fires the arrows at 150 steps when the thief is removed, while the archer fires the arrows at 60 steps when the thief is removed. If the thief reaches within 20 steps, the archer will be the archer, and the crossbower will be abandoned, and the garrison will be ordered to collect the garrison.

From this we can imagine how much different the range of the crossbow and the range of the bow? Since it is recorded in the military book, it means that both the crossbow and the bow must be the standard weapons of the soldiers, and are by no means special things. Therefore, even if there is a difference in range, the difference is not much.

"That means that we can ejaculate the Turks, but the Turks can't ejaculate us, right?" I asked another question.

"If you only use the range to judge the distance, that's true. Why? Brother, have you thought of something?" Yang Shidao said curiously.

"Just just now, I saw that the Turkic camps were stationed on the river bank. If we attacked from the shore with infantry and cavalry at night, the movement would be too great. The Turkic people would definitely find out that if they used water to walk on the Fen River and then attacked them with powerful crossbows and fire arrows, I guess those Turkic people, even if they were powerful in riding and shooting skills, would they have no choice but to do anything, right?"

Hearing my words, Li Shimin couldn't help but slam his eyes and said, "This is indeed a good way, but if there are fewer boats, it will only play a role in harassment at most. After all, the Fen River is not as good as the Yellow River. There are not many ships on it, most of them are fishing boats and small boats, and they cannot carry too many crossbowmen."

"It's okay, I see that the east bank of the Fen River is lush, and there seems to be a large bamboo forest there. If we cut bamboo to make bamboo rafts, whether it is harassing the enemy army or transporting troops across the river to contact General Yun in Jingle County, it is a good choice. Do you agree?" I nodded and pointed to a location about a few miles away on the east bank of the river. There you can vaguely see the bamboo and wood connected there.

"Yes, the pier in the east of the city is still there. The Turks are not familiar with the water, so they will definitely not dare to cross the river and attack it. But we can send some people who are familiar with the water to cross the river first and inform General Yun. In addition, they can also send people to get boats and transport some supplies to the general." The general of Zuotun Guard Zhao Gan couldn't help but be overjoyed, and stood up and asked the current commander Yang Gongdao. "Prince, what if the general is going to order to send someone here?

I quickly stood up and stopped him and said, "It's not dark yet, so don't worry, and you must not let the Turks see us sending people to contact the general. What we should do most now is to let those Turks relax their vigilance, so that they can achieve the greatest results."

Yang Gongdao nodded and smiled, "Yes, General Zhao, don't worry. Now it's Shenshi. At most, it's dark. What we need to do most now is to organize the defense line and never let the Turks take advantage of the opportunity."

After discussion and determination, nearly a thousand proficient people were selected from the young and Guanzhong elites, and the others continued to strengthen their camps to prevent the Turkic attacks.

It took less than an hour for my subordinates to transport all the horse corpses that were no more than a hundred steps away from the camp. And there were already more than ten large pots of meat and flesh that were being cooked and officially started to stew.

After the soldiers used up the grain in a hurry, they began to dig a horse-silling moat about ten feet wide and about ten feet deep in front of the carriage. Naturally, my master's troops followed suit and dug it hard there, and the digging of soil happened to be outside the carriage, and a wall of earth was formed.

The Turks found that we were preparing for defense, and coupled with the air strike just now, nearly two thousand people were lost. Therefore, the actions that did not come to disturb us, perhaps in their eyes, as long as we did not try our best to join the defenders in Jingle County.

After all, tens of thousands of people were busy together. In two hours, a wall of earth about 150 meters wide and 10 meters high was set up on the periphery of the carriage. With the appearance of this wall, the young and strong soldiers in the river bay couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Compared with the Turkic people's good at attacking, the people in the Central Plains were better at defending. With this solid earth wall, our safety was finally guaranteed when the troops were not different and the siege method lacked heavy weapons.

At this time, the horse meat was stewed so hard that it was fragrant. The hard bread was wrapped in the middle with the stewed fragrant horse meat. One and two were eaten voraciously. In addition, a lot of it was distributed to other troops, so that everyone could taste the taste of this kind of horse meat burnt together.

"It's really delicious. Brother, you really know how to do it." Yang Gongdao was full, and he was reluctant to taste the last bite of the broth. After eating it, he boiled it and drank a bowl of steaming broth. This feeling was so refreshing.

One noble and two noble playboys were all over the mouth, and they praised him all the time. Li Xuanba, who had a super ingredient, ate three large pieces of horse meat and drank two big bowls of soup before he could stop. His belly was almost as good as three or five months pregnant.

Seeing Yaoguang girl and Li Shimin felt embarrassed, so they quickly stayed away from this foodie brother. Although they had eaten a lot, at least they were not as shocked as Li Xuanba.

"There should be a lot of horse meat left. Let them all come over and cook. However, I'm afraid you'll be the spices, brother." Yang Gong said very much about horse meat fire, and ordered while filling him with his fill.

"It's no problem. We only ate one or two thousand kilograms of horse meat, and there are at least tens of thousands of kilograms there. Let them just go and get it. As for other spices, let them find Li Yuanfang to get it." This young master, who had already eaten it, touched his belly with satisfaction and smiled. The spices are small, and there are many more. At worst, people can go to Jingle County to search. Whether it is spices or pharmacies, there will be a lot of spices.

I chewed slowly, well, no matter how fast you eat, it is useless. The important thing is to taste the taste. For example, the horse meat is stewed well and the spices are sufficient, and it tastes fragrant and slender. Unfortunately, there is no wine, but it is definitely a good wine.

At this moment, someone rushed over to report that people came from Jingle County, of course they quietly sailed to our current camp. The leader was General Yun Dingxing. Seeing this arrival, we quickly stood up and saluted the general.

"No need to be polite, hey, what are you eating, why are you so delicious?" General Yun, who entered the tent and smelled the horse meat and the smell of broth, couldn't help but twitch his nose and asked curiously.

"General, please sit down. You haven't had dinner yet. Come and serve four cakes and two kilograms of horse meat." Yang Gongdao smiled and asked General Yun to sit down. In a short while, someone brought a large plate with four pieces of Yuliang cakes and a plate of fragrant horse meat.

"Please use it for the general. This is what we stewed with the meat of the horses discarded by the Turks. It tastes first-class." Yang Gong said, and the expressions of eating and drinking made General Yun feel appetite and move straight away without saying a word.

"It's not bad. I didn't expect the taste of horse meat to taste so good. It seems that our military rations can save a lot, haha." After chewing for a long time, Yun Dingxing reluctantly swallowed a big mouthful of horse meat and burned it, couldn't help but feel happy.

Next, after eating two pieces of cakes and more than one pound of horse meat as fast as possible, he poured a large bowl of soup, and finally put down the soup bowl with satisfaction, Yun Dingxing wiped his mouth and asked about the battle situation. He also informed us of the battle situation in Jingle County.

Fortunately, Jingle County is the seat of Loufan County after all, and Jingle County has high walls and 5,000 of the seven thousand county soldiers are here. In addition, the five thousand Guanzhong cavalry brought by Yun Dingxing has caused more than 10,000 troops in Jingle County. Today, the Turks' attack did not cause much casualties. However, the defenders who lacked heavy city defense weapons also had no way to deal with the Turks. At most, both sides would just gesture archery skills or spit on each other.

Anyway, the Turks were really not good at sieging the city. Even the siege ladders made now were so rough that they were outrageously. There were even funny things like Turkic soldiers climbed to the middle of the middle and fell into the crowd because the ladders were dispersed.
