During the reign of Emperor Ling, the barbarians rebelled and overran Yong Zhi, the prefect of Yizhou.
The imperial censor Zhongcheng Zhu Gui was sent to join the army, and Liang Jin's troops attacked him, but they were unable to defeat him. The court could not conquer it, so it wanted to abandon it according to Zhu Ya's story.
The Taiwei sent Li Yong of Ba County to present Chen Fangce. The emperor paid homage to Yong, the governor of Yizhou, and attacked it with Pang Zhi, the governor. Yong led the Banzhen army of Ba County to fight against it, but they were all defeated, and Zhi was born.
In the past, there was a rebellion in the southern counties, less than a century ago.
The Nanzhong counties have not forgotten the reputation of Banzhen of Ba County who was fierce, brave and good at fighting. He was invincible in every battle.
Today, the same is true for Zhu Bao.
Moreover, at that time, the Banzhen barbarians were attacking Yizhou County.
There is a five-foot road outside Yizhou County to welcome merchants and their goods, and the vast fields in the inner plains produce grain, as well as iron, copper, silver, tin and other products for the army. The wealth is ten times that of Zangqi County, but it still cannot stop the army. Zangqi County
We are so poor that we don't have enough food, fodder, armor, soldiers, and supplies. What are our chances of winning against the barbarians?
Fortunately, it was only a troop of less than a thousand men.
You can't beat it twice, you can't win three times. However, what if I attack five times?
Ha~~~~
An inaudible sneer.
Zhu Bao gently rolled up the military information cloth on the table and put aside the worries in his heart.
Standing up from the case, he turned his head and looked at the conical-haired retinue standing in the corner of the hall, "Prepare your horses and go to the military camp."
In the middle of the month of Jia, the mountains are shining brightly.
The garrison built by the Han army has taken its initial form, and the fortifications are also quite large-scale.
It is backed by a steep mountain, with horizontal earth and stone foundations, solid stone pillars and wooden piles, and a yellow-green bamboo wall standing horizontally and vertically. On both sides there are elevated bamboo buildings with fire basins, which were used for scouting and warning in the army.
The bamboo wall is nearly two feet high and quite thick. It is straight on the outside and sloping on the inside. It is built with bamboo cages filled with pebbles in the middle, and ropes are used to secure the pillars on both sides. Finally, gravel and viscous river mud are poured in. It can be used to support soldiers and soldiers to cover the wall.
Later, they fought with swords and spears.
On the outside of the bamboo wall, there is a closed crenel every one foot.
It is nearly three inches wide, and protrudes from the inside to the outside with a bamboo spear with a sharp end.
Looking at it from a distance, it looks like a huge and angry hedgehog, with spikes all over its body standing up in the wind.
Looking at it again, it is like a pheasant lying on the ground, with its wings stretched out from the side, and its feathers are as thick as the forest.
Outside the garrison, there are two trenches connected horizontally, each about one foot deep and filled with sharp bamboo strips; it is nearly nine feet wide. Although a person running fast can jump across it, he will hit the defensive deer village behind.
Well, it would be more appropriate to call it a horse-rejecting gun.
The Luzhai was originally an obstacle to block the passage of enemy troops.
But Zheng Pu asked the soldiers to make slight changes to Luzhai.
Take a piece of wood with a diameter of two feet, of varying length, and drill cross holes, and place an old bamboo about the width of a security inspector's arm in it. The old bamboo is ten feet long, and both ends are sharp. If an enemy comes at a gallop and bumps into it, the hole will be pierced through the body.
.
That's right, Zheng Pu persuaded Gou and Liu to divide their troops, saying that they would not miss the time to build a garrison, relying on the fact that there was a bamboo forest here!
Replacing wood with bamboo will greatly reduce the construction period and complexity.
Moreover, the Zhi people who grew up in Badi have been in contact with bamboo throughout their lives due to their living customs. The attics, caves, beds, bamboo crossbows used for hunting, etc. are all made of bamboo.
It can be said that everyone is a skilled bamboo craftsman.
The objects used in military fortifications were already wide open and closed, so Zheng Pu's request was nothing more than trivial to them.
Of course, bamboo cannot replace solid wood after all.
If the fortifications here were to face Cao Wei, they would not be able to withstand for half a day and would be defeated by the "Thunderbolt Chariot", bed crossbows, stone cannons and other powerful attack weapons.
However, in the land of Nanzhong, which has always had little literature, how can there be such ingenious things as thunderbolt chariots and bed crossbows?
Not to mention, it is as difficult as the county of Zangdao. The soldiers and armors are not fully prepared, and the common people are unable to feed themselves. If Zhu Bao can have a thunder chariot, why is he still trapped here? Follow the Pearl River southward to plunder Jiaozhou's wealth and food, and build up his momentum. Wouldn't it be wonderful to go west to Yizhou County to attack the city and establish a stronghold to show off the power of the army and make Yongkai and other barbarian tribes bow their heads?
In another three days, all the grain and fodder will be transported, and the garrison here can also be formed. By then, there will be no worries!
With his hands on his back, Zheng Pu walked slowly, walking among the busy soldiers to inspect, thinking secretly in his mind.
The reason why he was so leisurely was that he had not been diligent since he was a child. He originally wanted to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers and participate in the construction. However, as soon as he used the knife to cut the bamboo into strips, his hands were covered with blood.
It also frightened the armored soldier who was pointing at him with a look of panic on his face.
Naturally, he frowned and refused to let Zheng Pu touch the bamboo again.
But Gofu, who came over after hearing the news, burst out laughing. After a few words, he advised him to go around and make sure there was nothing missing.
Alas, there are specialties in the art industry, so I’d better not add to the confusion...
Being very conscious, Zheng Pu gave up his plan of "exerting his meager efforts".
And he would often walk among the busy soldiers with his hands behind his back, or hit someone on the shoulder, or tell someone to be careful not to fall, or make a joke and make a few jokes. Quan was supposed to be using his words to show his presence.
But there is a little difference.
Whenever he passed by Fu Qian and Li Qiu, he would always look solemn and his steps would never stop.
In other words, Fu and Li also wielded their knives to cut bamboo strips, and the "duh" sound of their movements was so smooth that he could not stop.
Ahem!
Teachers should be strict.
How can you smile playfully in front of your disciples!
Let’s act, let’s watch, and let’s laugh.
Zheng Pu walked through the fortifications and reached the garrison without knowing it.
Many military tents have been erected here for a long time, for soldiers to rest and store food and military supplies. They are also built with bamboo foundations to prevent rain and humidity or cold weather at the end of the year. Drinking water for the garrison is obtained from large quantities of water. The bamboo is cut in half and placed on the cliff along the mountain. Several small streams winding down from the mountain are led to the inner area for storage.
The construction of this garrison, from the outside to the inside, was well organized in every aspect.
Even if a senior general in the army saw him, he would not find anything wrong.
Considering the military experience of the three of them and the fact that they are leading the army independently for the first time, it is really rare.
"Zheng Jianjun, Ju Sima and Liu Sima are waiting for you outside the gap."
As I was wandering around, suddenly a panting soldier came quickly and saluted.
Huh?
Outside the gap?
Could it be that the traitor Zhu Bao came with his people?
Faintly realizing something in his heart, Zheng Pucheng nodded slightly to the Jiazi and walked away.
Before they arrived, they saw two men from Ju and Liu, stopping at a high place in the mountain. They were questioning a scout carefully. He didn't hesitate and asked directly, "Brother Xiuran, Xiaoxing, has the traitor Zhu Bao done something strange?" "
"Of course!"
Liu Yin, who was in charge of the alert, nodded heavily, "My scouts have discovered that the rebels have been frequently transporting grain and baggage to Guangtan County in recent days. If nothing else happens, the traitor Zhu Bao will be coming to attack us. .”
The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first.
It seems that Zhu Bao is indeed coming.
When Zheng Pu heard this, he nodded slightly.
Jufu also looked solemn and added quickly, "The scouts claimed that there are a lot of carriages traveling to and from Guangtan County. Zhu Bao may have sent a large number of troops!"
