Lu Jing and Li Gao Gao led an infantry of 20,000 horses and a large amount of military equipment, and left the north gate of Chang'an and headed straight for Zhang Zhen's cement town.
noon.
The sun is shining and the weather is cold.
The Chu army arrived at the shore of the Wei River.
The small cement town is located in front, and the banners with the characters "Han" and "Zhang" on the city are eye-catching. After the Han army got the news, the soldiers who were sleeping were also neatly dressed in armor and holding weapons, and climbed onto the city wall to be on guard.
The cement town is very crude.
They are just made up of cement walls, with wooden doors in the middle as obstructions. Some even have no doors at all, like a sieve that leaks air everywhere.
It looks easy to bully and attack.
But the Han army was too powerful.
The reputation of the Han army is unknown to everyone in the Chu army.
As for Zhang Zhen's Han army, although they crossed the river overnight, they also repaired the small town. They took turns sleeping at dawn and only slept for two hours. But they are all strong men and have regained their energy.
The warrior's eyes widened with a ferocious expression, and his strong body seemed to contain endless power.
Combat power at its peak.
Privates Lu Jing and Li Gao Gao then led dozens of cavalry out to view the small concrete town.
Lu Jing looked up at the flag with the word "Zhang", his expression slightly ugly.
It’s General Zhang Zhen again.
The last time, Zhang Zhen used thousands of troops to fight against him and won.
"Although this city is crude, it is not easy to attack." Lu Jing turned his head and said to Li Gaofeng in a deep voice.
"Yes." Li Gaofeng nodded solemnly.
Although they all have a fighting spirit and are not afraid of dying on the battlefield, they cannot waste the war.
"It's better to bury pots to make rice and set up camp. See if the Han army can cross the river. If the Han army crosses the river, then attack halfway across."
Li Gaofeng suggested with his hands raised.
"Yeah." Lu Ding nodded and immediately conveyed the order.
The Chu army set up a camp opposite the cement town.
...........
In a small cement town. Flags with the characters "Han" and "Zhang" fluttered in the wind. Zhang Zhen was wearing heavy armor and a large cloak, standing on the cement wall.
Next to him, his son Chen Ping stood with his arms akimbo, holding a horse-drawn tree eight feet in length.
"Father. The Chu army did not come to attack, but instead set up camp. Are you afraid of us?" Chen Ping raised his head and looked at the Chu army camp in front, and said scornfully.
"I once attacked Lu Jing on the plains. I won a small victory. Now I have thousands of soldiers and horses, sitting in a small city. Lu Jing has experienced my pain and knows that he will not be able to attack me for a while. Wait. At night, Your Majesty can send more soldiers across the river. He will only lose men and horses in vain."
Zhang Zhen nodded slightly, his eyes were bright, his chest and abdomen were straight and majestic.
"Since he doesn't dare to attack us, why does he still set up camp here? He will go back to Chang'an and be a coward." Chen Ping said puzzled.
"He wanted to attack halfway. But how could His Majesty give him this opportunity?" Zhang Zhen laughed and turned around.
"Strikes halfway through?" Chen Ping raised his hand and pinched his chin. This plot is included in the play.
The army crossed the river, but their footing was unstable and they attacked halfway across the river.
"We can't fight anymore. Send the order down. Order one thousand households to be on guard and two thousand households to sleep. But keep your clothes on and your armor on, and keep your sword close to your body." Zhang Zhen turned his head and ordered.
"Yes." The soldier responded loudly, turned around and went down to deliver the order. The number of soldiers guarding the city was immediately reduced by two-thirds.
Zhang Zhen himself also took Chen Ping back to the Chinese army's tent. He took off his armor and fell asleep.
Lu Jing wanted to wait for Wu Nian's army to cross the river and attack them halfway across.
From day to night, there was no waiting.
It was not long after nightfall. The Han army on the north bank took new actions. Another seven thousand soldiers under Zhang Zhen's command took the ferry.
He was accompanied by a large number of craftsmen, as well as cement, river sand, wood and other items.
The soldiers of these seven thousand households immediately followed the same pattern after crossing the river.
On the left and right of Zhang Zhen's cement town, two other cement towns were built. at the same time. Zhang Zhen reinforced his cement town.
The river wind is strong.
south bank.
In a small cement town. Zhang Zhen took Chen Ping with him to do the rough work himself, either carrying wood or river sand, to start large-scale construction.
"Quick. Speed up."
While Zhang Zhen was working, he urged the soldiers and craftsmen to speed up.
Tens of thousands of people, plus many craftsmen, worked all night.
When it gets brighter.
The Han army established three small cities on the south bank of the Wei River.
The small city that was established on the first day and was also in the middle has been reinforced and raised, and it looks like the same thing.
The other two small towns are very simple.
The three cities are lined up in a row, and their defense power is doubled.
The Han army did not need to formally cross the river at all. They only needed ants to move and rely on the convenience of cement to move troops and food bit by bit.
As long as the number of Han troops, as well as food and military supplies are sufficient.
The Han army can then march across Weinan.
Dare to kill thousands of people and run rampant across the world.
After Zhang Zhen succeeded, he remained calm. One-third of the soldiers were ordered to be on alert, and two-thirds of the soldiers slept without taking off their armor and knives.
Once the Chu army attacks, the Han army can respond quickly.
The Chu army did not respond.
The Chu army camp was very peaceful.
The morale of the soldiers of the Chu army is not weak. Soldiers with missions are equipped with strong weapons and are either patrolling or standing guard. Soldiers who do not have a mission must stay in the camp and are not allowed to make any noise outside.
But they didn't dare to go out.
Because the opponent is stronger.
On the Beiying Gate. Lu Jing and Li Gaofeng had just gotten up and had not had time to have breakfast. After receiving the news, they quickly dressed up and went to Beiying Gate to check.
The two of them looked at the three small cities in the north with ugly expressions on their faces.
Neither can fight in the field.
Nor can we attack the city.
It could not prevent the Han army from crossing the river in a small scale.
They could only watch helplessly as the Han army took action, unable to do anything.
"It seems we can only fight in Chang'an." Lu Jing sighed and said.
"Chang'an City is strong. Even if Wu Nian has 200,000 elite soldiers, we can still defend against it." Li Gaofeng nodded and said in a deep voice.
You can't win in a field battle.
But Chu soldiers are also elite and can defend the city with ease.
At this moment, the sound of rapid horse hooves came from behind the two of them. Lu Jing's heart moved and he turned around to look. I saw a fast horse galloping towards me. After arriving at the camp gate, the knight dismounted and galloped up to the camp gate.
"General. General Wu Yan led 20,000 Luoyang troops out of Tongguan to rescue Chang'an."
The knight knelt down on one knee, raised his head with his fists clasped, and said happily.
"Okay. With Wu Yan's 20,000 soldiers and horses, we are even more powerful than a tiger." Lu Jing's face also showed joy, and he smiled while stroking his hands.
"General. In this case, let's return to Chang'an and fight to the death with the Han army." Li Gaofeng exhaled and said.
"Send the order. Withdraw the troops." Lu Jingding nodded and ordered.
