Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3594 Back to the Carbine

Before, Li Yifu was already a ten thousand year decree. Although they were all honored by the county, their rank was very different, and their power status was even more different. If they went further, they could go straight to the center.

But succumbing to Jingyang, not only is it far from the center, but also the rank is lowered, that is to be reprimanded, this is the treatment of "criminal ministers", unless there is a great change in the court situation, it will be difficult to return to the center again, and change the place to serve as a county governor. , this life is coming to an end...

Li Yifu's face turned red, and he said ashamed: "Let the Duke of Yue be laughed at, the humble job and knowledge are unknown, and he has gone astray. It is his own fault, and he can't blame others."

He didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Fang Jun, just as respectful as he was back then.

In fact, it's not that he "sees the difference" and "confess to vote for his master", but that Fang Jun can't see him, and all kinds of dislikes are thrown aside without paying attention. He is as ambitious and ambitious as Li Yifu. Can you be silent?

It's just that I didn't expect to take refuge with King Jin and Changsun Wuji, and the end would be the same.

This made him quite annoyed, but he couldn't understand it, and he didn't know how he offended all the big guys...

Fang Jun was noncommittal, and only ordered: "The army in the city is repaired, and the magistrate Li is also asked to arrange for the officials in the county to cooperate more, and don't delay the repair of the army."

Li Yifu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Duke Yue, this is a matter of humble duty, and will definitely ensure that the logistics of the army are worry-free. If there is a mistake, I am willing to be punished!"

Before, he thought that Guan Long had the general trend and would win this battle, but now that he saw Fang Jun, for some reason, he suddenly felt that Donggong might not have the chance to turn defeat into victory.What's more, now that Fang Jun's army is under the city, the knife is already on his neck, and if there is a slight error, he can't expect Fang Jun to spare his life with his old feelings...

So I became more and more obedient, and I didn't have any thoughts of conflict in my heart.

He was so obedient that Fang Jun scratched his head a little. Although he was very opposed to this famous traitor, he couldn't take it seriously and kill him, right?The current situation in Guanlong is great. If Li Yifu is killed, it will make the officials of Guanlong more panic, which will be very unfavorable for the situation in the East Palace.

Let's keep him first, and send someone to keep an eye on him. If there is anything wrong with it, killing him is justifiable...

Li Yifu didn't know that he had turned around in the gate of hell, and diligently asked people to prepare drinks and banquets, intending to entertain Fang Jun and the generals who entered the city, but Fang Jun refused.Just as Li Yifu was about to persuade him, he saw a horse galloping from outside the city. When he got close, he turned over and dismounted.

After saying that, he put a letter in his hands.

Fang Jun raised his hand and took it. He first checked the seal of the lacquer seal and confirmed that it was correct. Then he opened the envelope, took out the letter, and read it at a glance.

After that, he stuffed the letter back into the envelope and handed it to Wang Fangyi beside him. He looked up at the snowflakes swept across the city, and after thinking for a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "Send someone to give orders to Zanpo's department to occupy the Dongwei Bridge, and then advance towards Ba. Bridge, to intimidate Chang'an City, but there is no need for a strong attack, as long as the rebel forces are involved, and if necessary, they can withdraw to Mount Li, and the main thing is to preserve the power."

"Here!"

Wei Ying, the captain of the personal soldier, led the order, quickly brought the war horse, mounted it and galloped away.

Fang Jun said to Wang Fangyi: "When the army is replenished, after dark, you will lead [-] cavalry to return to the original route, ten miles upstream of the Zhongwei Bridge. Tonight, Gao Kan will lead his troops to the bank of the Wei River and build a pontoon bridge. , to meet you to cross the river. After crossing the river, Gao Kan will return to guard outside the Xuanwu Gate. You will lead the troops to defeat Changsun Heng'an. How to act one step at a time, we will make a decision after this coach arrives."

"Here!"

Wang Fangyi received the order, and excitedly rode to Changpingcang, commanding the army to quickly supply supplies, and then assembled outside Jingyang City, waiting for a return to the carbine after dark.

Although he was considered a son of an aristocratic family, he was not welcomed by the family, nor was he cared for by the family when he was in the Anxi Army. Even though he had a lot of military exploits, he was just a scout team, a military attache who was not in the mainstream.

I dream of being able to make achievements and make a career and seal my wife and son...

Now following Fang Jun, not only did he make great achievements in the Great Destruction of the Western Regions, but he also traveled all the way for thousands of miles to help the East Palace. As long as he wins this battle, he has Fang Jun's appreciation and reuse. The official position of a lieutenant is a step into the ranks of the middle-level military attache of the Tang army.

Not to mention that there may be a substantial jump in the ranks that will follow...

Right now, Fang Jun is making him alone in charge of the army, acting alone, with the intention of cultivating and supporting, how can he not be excited?
If a man does not have the ambition to cross the four seas, how can he stand out from the crowd?
Such a god-given opportunity, you must be cautious and succeed in the first battle!
……

The night was dark and the snow had not stopped.

The swept north wind carried snowflakes and fluttered on both sides of the Weishui River. A cavalry of more than [-] people bypassed the Zhongwei Bridge section in the dark night and approached the upper reaches of the Weishui River.More than [-] cavalrymen are all elites in a hundred battles, even with so many cavalry brigade marching, they did not make much noise.

Until ten miles upstream of Zhongwei Bridge, someone approached from the river in the dark night.

Wang Fangyi glanced at the black hole in the four fields, wiped the snowflakes on his face, and asked, "How are you preparing?"

The man replied: "General Gao ordered me to come here after dark, and step on the ice floes to come to meet them. All the planks and rivets in the camp have been transported to the south bank. As soon as the army arrives, the pontoon bridge will be laid immediately."

In ancient times, marching and fighting was greatly restricted by the terrain due to the backward equipment, but it was still necessary to build a road when encountering mountains and bridges when encountering water.Youtunwei has carried out strict training and meticulous improvement in this regard. The efficiency of excavating mountain roads with gunpowder is more than ten times faster than before. In the future, the concept of "modularization" has pre-manufactured bridge plates, and the two ends are wrapped with iron sheets at the same time. Good holes, connected with rivets, iron bolts, and steel cables when in use, which is fast and stable.

Wang Fangyi didn't know that the engineers of the Youtun Guard had been trained for a long time. If the Youtun Guard's combat power is the best in the world, then the engineers of the Youtun Guard can almost be said to be unparalleled in the world... But since Fang Jun is so in favor of crossing the river at night Plan, he naturally will not question.

To the scout: "Go back and report to General Gao immediately, and immediately build a pontoon bridge!"

"Here!"

The scout immediately turned back, his agile figure stepped on the shattered ice floes on the river, as light and vigorous as an ape, and disappeared into the night after a few ups and downs.

Wang Fangyi ordered: "The entire army is temporarily rested, and no fire or noise is allowed. The scouts go out to listen to the enemy's intelligence, but report any abnormalities immediately!"

"Here!"

The order was issued, and more than [-] cavalrymen ordered and banned them. The soldiers dismounted and put a bit on the warhorse.

……

On the south bank of the Weishui River, it is in full swing.

Gao Kan personally led a thousand cavalry and a thousand engineers to the river bank. In order to avoid making too much noise and being noticed by the rebels, all the wooden boards and molds needed to build the pontoon were carried on the shoulders.

After arriving by the river, the cavalry formed a formation to be ready to be harassed by the rebels, and the sappers immediately began to build a pontoon bridge.

Strips of iron moulds were erected on the floating ice, and connected with rivets and iron bolts around to form a rigid and sturdy frame, on which pieces of long wooden boards were erected, and a pontoon bridge with a width of thirty feet was quickly built. .

Youtunwei's equipment for erecting a pontoon bridge is simply beyond the times. It has been trained many times. No matter how wide the river is, it can be quickly built in the battle. Especially now, there are many ice floes above the Wei River. There are many points of leverage to build more It's super fast.

About an hour later, Wang Fangyi heard the "rustling" on the dark river. Soon, a soldier trotted over: "General Qi, the pontoon bridge is completed, please cross the river!"

Wang Fangyi estimated the time and was a little surprised...

But now is not the time to study how to build the pontoon bridge, and ordered the army to assemble and ride on the pontoon bridge first.

The pontoon swayed slightly when the war horse stepped on it, but the wooden planks under the feet were very firm, and there was no danger of collapse and overturning.Wang Fangyi was very determined, and his worries about the inevitable poor quality of such a quick construction were all gone, and he led the army to quickly cross the river.

On the south bank of the Weishui River, Gao Kan stood at the head of the bridge and watched the cavalry on the other side come across the river in an orderly manner. He stepped forward to greet Wang Fangyi, and then said in a low voice, "The safety of Xuanwumen is not to be slack in the slightest, so I will go back to guard immediately. I can't accompany Paoze to defeat the enemy, I wish you all victory!"
