The four hundred and fortieth chapters plan for Fangdu
Dewey stated his conjecture very honestly.
"Zilong, tell me."
Yuan Shu shook his head and appointed Zhao Yun to answer Dewey's question.
"In fact, our main purpose in coming to Bingzhou this time is to expel the aliens entrenched in Bingzhou and restore peace to the Han people."
Zhao Yun also smiled and directly told Dewey the purpose of their trip.
"So defending the city is not what I want at all. I want to ambush and defeat them, so I need a suitable place."
Yuan Shu followed Zhao Yun's words and then glanced at Dewey.
"If my lord really wants to do this, then the only place to do it is here."
At this point, Dewey also understood that this new lord was a fierce and ruthless person. Facing 50,000 foreign cavalry, he actually wanted to defeat them. It was really nice.
Everyone followed Dewey's stick and saw an inconspicuous place.
"This place is called Wubao, and there is a ferry here called Ruifangdu. The river here is the narrowest and the river is the gentlest. If you want to cross the Yellow River to Lin County, you must pass the ferry here.
Therefore, we can choose to set up an ambush in the forest behind Fangdu, wait until the foreign cavalry passes by, and then rush out suddenly, which will definitely catch the enemy by surprise."
Dewey gave his own thoughts.
"not enough."
Dewey's idea was good in theory, but it was not enough for Yuan Shu, because the enemy was not three thousand, nor five thousand, but a full fifty thousand. To annihilate so many people, a single ambush was simply impossible.
"??"
Hearing Yuan Shu's words, Dewey was completely stunned.
"Gongda, tell me."
After Yuan Shu finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Xun You who was thinking about it.
"Brother Pingfeng, I want to know, can the Yellow River be dammed?"
As soon as Xun You opened his mouth, Dewey felt a critical hit of 10,000 points. If you cut off the Yellow River, you may not want to go to heaven, but Xun You, as the first military advisor, was too embarrassed to say anything.
"My lord, military advisor, the Yellow River is the largest river in Bingzhou. The water is extremely abundant. It is impossible to block the flow, but it will obviously not be possible within a few days."
"I don't mean to cut it off completely, but to accumulate a certain amount of water and try to make the water flow at the ferry as gentle as possible. It is best to allow them to ride horses across the river."
Xun You thought for a moment and gave his revision suggestions again.
"Although this is a bit difficult, it's not impossible."
"Here, for example, there is a winding gorge five miles north of Fangdu, called Siwan Gorge. There are four narrow narrow passages here. If more manpower is invested, the effect you mentioned can still be achieved."
Dewey thought for a moment and finally gave an awkward but affirmative answer.
"how?"
Yuan Shu once again set his sights on Xun You.
"Well, it's absolutely possible. If we can really achieve the effect we want, then I'm sure to teach these aliens an unforgettable lesson."
Xun You nodded heavily.
"In this case, there is nothing more to say. Everyone will obey the order."
Xun You said there was no problem, and Yuan Shu had nothing to say.
"Zilong, Dewey, Xunyou."
"exist."
"exist."
"exist."
The three of them each cupped their fists towards Yuan Shu.
"I order you to lead the Yingyang Army and the Xihe Cavalry as the vanguard and rush to Lin County to arrange everything. Xun You will be responsible for everything."
"promise."
The three of them made a pledge together.
"Ju Yi, Dian Wei, Yang Chou."
"exist."
"exist."
"exist."
Three more people stood up and clasped their fists.
"We are the Chinese army and rush to Lin County with all our strength."
"Dong Zhao."
"exist."
"You will temporarily serve as the army's staff officer and follow me."
"promise."
"I hope you all can work together. I will use the Battle of Fangdu to announce to these foreign races that the Han Dynasty's counterattack has begun."
"Here."
After Yuan Shu's military order, the Zi family's camp exploded. Since all the troops and horses had already begun preparations when the gathering drum was beating, Zhao Yun took all the cavalry towards Lin County as soon as he left the tent, and the army
Within two hours after Ying Yang's army left, preparations were made one after another, and countless carriages kicked off the sky full of smoke and dust, and embarked on the journey.
Yuan Shu was about to take action, but Jiang Shen encountered trouble because the crossing of Wuding River was too small. They had two thousand cavalry, so it was not easy to cross.
"What should we do now?"
Jiang Shen looked at the vast river and the small boats floating on the river, and couldn't help but frowned.
"I suggest building a wooden bridge."
Bo Luo Ming was confused when he saw what he saw in front of him. Although he had plundered Xihe County in the past, it was during the dry season and the river had less water. Horses could run in many places. But now the true face of this big river is
Let him collapse.
"Wooden bridge? You don't have enough time, and we only need to cross it once, so there is no need to spend a lot of time."
After listening to Bo Luoming's suggestion, Jiang Shen shook his head. He just crossed the river once and had to build a bridge. Are all foreigners fools?
"Master Jiang, you have also seen that it is difficult for these small boats on the river to carry people across, let alone war horses. If we don't build a bridge, how will we get across?"
Jiang Shen felt that Bo Luo Ming was stupid, but little did he know that Bo Luo Ming also had his own mission. He not only wanted to sneak into Lin County, but also paved the way for the army, so building a bridge was imperative.
"but."
Although Jiang Shen also admitted that Bo Luo Ming's words had some truth, he still felt that it was a bit of a fuss.
"No but, Suo Luming, immediately lead your troops to chop down trees and build a bridge."
"promise."
After receiving the general's order, two thousand cavalrymen galloped towards the nearby mountains and forests. They wanted to build a wooden bridge for the army to pass out.
Yuan Shu and the foreigners were preparing, but it was obvious that building bridges and roads was still difficult for the foreigners. It took them five days, a full five days, before they could barely complete the construction. In five days, Zhao Yun had already brought all the people with him.
The cavalry arrived at the border of Lin County.
"Military advisor, let's go to the county seat and take a rest."
Looking at Xun You's slightly haggard face, Dewey suggested taking a break.
"No, time waits for no one. Let's go to Siwan Gorge first. I want to conduct an on-site inspection."
"good."
Xun You did not agree to rest, and Dewey had nothing to say, so he led a large army towards Siwan Gorge.
When the large army arrived at Siwan Gorge, Xun You got off the carriage and slowly came to the edge of the Yellow River.
"Pingfeng, is this the narrow place you mentioned?"
Looking at the majestic river in front of him, Xun You was also a little confused.
"Well, this place is indeed quite narrow compared to other places."
Dewey nodded to Xun You.
"No matter what, all soldiers and horses obey orders."
"exist."
"Three days, we only have three days to build the dam and block the water. Whether this battle can be successful or not depends entirely on us."
"One team dismounted and went up the mountain to carry the stones."
"The second team dismounted and prepared sand, gravel and ashes."
