At this time in the Tang Dynasty world.
Tian Dajia, the captain of the ninth regiment of the Quy Nhon Army, called the deputy captain, two brigade commanders, and four team commanders together to discuss what to do next. Should we continue to hold on or give up Seluburg?
Tian Dajia also invited Cui He, but Cui He refused to attend.
The reason Cui He gave was that he was just ordered to listen.
Tian Dajia first asked Lu Wen: "What did Li Shijun say?"
"Here." Lu Wen crossed his hands and said, "Li Shijun said that he will send troops to help in the near future."
"If this is the case, we will continue to hold on." Tian Dajia said, "If Commander Li sends out a large number of troops to mobilize, it will be as fast as half a month, and as slow as a month. If we only insist on one month, we can still do it."
"I'm afraid this is not easy." Deputy Lieutenant Wang Chang said, "With the 500 shi of grain and 100 barrels of grease shipped back last night, there is no shortage of supplies. However, the west wall is short and broken and has not been covered with bricks. Last night it was A big gap was almost opened by the Tibetan army. If the Tibetan army uses siege engines to attack again tonight, the city wall will definitely collapse."
"If the city wall collapses, it will collapse. At worst, we will fight for our lives with the Tibetan army." Brigadier Du Dudu said with a dark face.
"You're talking lightly. Our ninth regiment only has 200 people in total. How many days can we fight for our lives?" Lu Heng, another brigade commander, immediately retorted, "I thought we should abandon the city."
"Abandoning the city is a capital crime and should be executed according to law." Du Du said angrily.
"What to kill?" Lu Heng said coldly, "We have been alone in Sailubao for more than a month. Tian Shijun's army is close at hand, but he has been reluctant to come to Sailubao for reinforcements. We can't blame us for this. Even if we make trouble in front of the Fengjie Commander, or even in front of the Saint, our ninth regiment still has a clear conscience."
"Well said." Deputy Lieutenant Wang Chang also said, "Our ninth regiment is worthy of the Tang Dynasty and worthy of the saints!"
Du Du was unwilling to say anything more. Anyway, it didn't matter what Wang Chang said about this matter, he had to listen to Tian Dajia.
At this time, Tian Dajia said quietly: "If we can know how the Tibetan army transported siege vehicles, pit trucks, ladders and other siege equipment to the military camp on the west side of Seluburg, we can destroy the Tibetan army's attack in advance. If the city's equipment is like this, it will be no problem to defend Seluburg for a month."
"How do you know about this?" Deputy Lieutenant Wang Chang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Only Lu Wen suddenly changed his expression, as if he thought of something?
Tian Dajia then asked: "Lu Wen, have you discovered anything?"
"Here." Lu Wen crossed his hands and said, "Wen does have a guess."
"Oh?" Tian Dajia said happily, "Tell me about it."
Several other people also immediately pricked up their ears.
Lu Wen said, "I can't explain clearly here. Why don't we ask the captain and colleagues to move to the watchtower?"
"Let's go to the watchtower." Tian Dajia immediately led his deputy lieutenant, two brigade commanders and four teams to the watchtower facing the Sailu River in the south of the castle.
The view from this watchtower is very broad.
The raging Selu River is at the foot of this watchtower.
Lu Wen pointed to the Sailu River at his feet and said: "Colonel Tian and all my colleagues, the secret of the Tibetan army is hidden in this turbulent Sailu River."
"Hidden in the Sailu River at your feet? What do you mean?"
Not only Tian Dajia, but also several deputy lieutenants, brigade commanders and team leaders were all confused and couldn't understand at all.
Lu Wen coughed dryly and continued: "It means that the Tibetan army in the east transported siege equipment and even supplies to the camp in the west through the Sailu River."
"How is this possible? Siege engines are not ships."
"Not even boats. In such a fast river, any boat will capsize."
"Transporting supplies from the river is even more wishful thinking. Captain Lu, are you talking nonsense to us?"
In the face of everyone's doubts, Lu Wen said patiently: "Of course the ships cannot be carried, and the siege equipment cannot be ferried from the Sailu River, but what if it is the wood after it has been dried? Have any colleagues heard of discharge? "
"Discharge?" Tian Dajia's heart moved, and several others also reacted immediately.
Of course, they are no strangers to the matter of discharge. There are often dischargers in Bashui, Fengshui and Laoshui in Guanzhong, transporting wood cut from Nanshan to Chang'an.
The rafts spliced together can withstand the rapids of the river much better than the boats.
Moreover, the wooden rafts stretching for miles or even tens of miles can really be used to transport supplies.
"That's it!" Tian Dajia said in annoyance, "How did the Tubo dogs transport the siege equipment weighing tens of thousands of kilograms to the western camp? And how did they deliver their supplies? It was from the Sailu River. past!"
"But it's useless." Deputy Lieutenant Wang Chang questioned again, "Even if we know that the Tibetans transport wood and supplies to the western camp through the Sailu River, we still have nothing to do with the Tibetans."
"Why is there no way?" Brigade Commander Du Du retorted, "We can intercept them."
"How to intercept?" Wang Chang asked, "Not to mention that the Tibetans must have released the rafts at night. We can't see the rafts in the river. Even if we can see them, we can't stop them. We can't send troops to jump into the Sailu River. Are you going to stop the raft? In such a fast-flowing river, can a person survive if he jumps in?"
Several brigade commanders and team officers immediately fell silent again.
Finally, Lu Wen said: "Colonel Tian, leave this matter to me."
"Leave it to you?" Tian Dajia frowned, "Lu Wen, do you have any idea?"
Wang Chang also said with a hint of warning: "Lu Wen, please know that there is no joke in the army."
Wang Chang's meaning is very clear, Lu Wen, don't look for trouble. If you boast about Haikou but fail to intercept the raft in the end, you will be responsible.
Lu Wen said without hesitation: "Wen is willing to issue a military order!"
Wang Chang was furious, but Tian Dajia waved his hand and said: "Forget the military order, just go ahead and do whatever you want. If you have any needs, just ask me. As long as I can do it, I will do it for you."
Lu Wen said: "Captain Tian, I need two crossbows, two winches and ten bundles of hemp rope. They must be moved to the watchtower here before dark today."
"No problem." Tian Dajia agreed happily.
As soon as Tian Dajia left, Wang Chang and Lu Heng also left cursing.
Du Du and the other team members did not leave, but took the initiative to walk to Lu Wen's side.
Since that point last night, Lu Wen's prestige in the Ninth Regiment has increased a lot.
Du Du worriedly said to Lu Wen: "Old Lu, is this really possible? It's so dark on the river that you can't even see the raft. What are you going to do to intercept the raft?"
"Yes, Lao Lu, it's difficult for the big arrows shot by the crossbow to hit the raft."
"You can't send brothers who are good at water to jump into the river to grab the raft. The current is so fast and it's cold."
Faced with the worries of several colleagues, Lu Wen smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I have a solution."
Lu Wen didn't have confidence in himself, but in the Immortal Lord. In his opinion, there was nothing in this world that the Immortal Lord wanted to do but couldn't do.
…
At this time, on the other side, Lu Xiaoning came to a military supplies store.
After understanding the characteristics of low-light night vision devices and infrared night vision devices, Lu Xiaoning finally chose low-light night vision devices.
Because his main purpose of buying this night vision device was to spot the rafts in the Sailu River, not to spot the Tibetan soldiers on the rafts, the low-light night vision device was obviously more suitable.
Lu Xiaoning is just a little worried. Is it effective through the screen?
If the low-light night vision device cannot be used, the only option is to fire the fire crossbow.
Every once in a while, you can fire a burning fire crossbow onto the river, and you should be able to spot the Tibetan rafts, and then you can use the bed crossbow to join in the interception. This is not difficult, after all, the Sailu River is not wide.
Lu Xiaoning bought a low-light night vision device and was about to return to the rental house when his cell phone rang.
Somewhat unexpectedly, it was the boss of Huayi Company who called, probably because of his sudden resignation.
Really, as soon as the call was connected, Xia Liangming on the other end of the phone smiled and said: "Xiao Ning, you did a good job, why did you suddenly resign? Is it because the salary is low? If the salary is low, just tell me Well."
Lu Xiaoning was really flattered now. When did Xia Liangming become so easy to talk to?
You must know that Xia Liangming often scolded Cao Yinlong and even Dai Jun so much that they didn't even dare to fart.
But what is the saying? If you don't have desires, you will be strong. Lu Xiaoning doesn't even plan to work in Huayi, so he has nothing to fear.
So Lu Xiaoning said directly if there was anything in his mind: "Mr.
Lu Xiaoning's mouth was dirty, but Xia Liangming was not angry.
Xia Liangming even laughed out loud: "Hahaha, this is right."
