Chapter 2055 The flagship has a magic weapon
Fa Zheng led the army to a place only two miles away from Sanjiangkou. Zhang Yun turned his head and looked over.
The distance was quite far, and he could not see at a glance where Fazheng was.
"Let's get off the boat to greet him." Zhang Yun ordered the side generals and led everyone down the flagship.
The two miles are not far away, and the army appears in Zhang Yun's vision, so there is no need to come to him.
A moment later, Zhang Yunwang saw a large army appearing in front of him.
The army that appeared in sight first exposed a straight black line at the end of the horizon. As the team advanced, the black line became wider and wider, and gradually became a block formation.
Seeing the army, Zhang Yun ordered: "Prepare the horse!"
The guard immediately brought him a war horse.
With a group of guards, Zhang Yun rode his horse to Fa Zheng.
Fa Zheng, who led the army, saw the warships docked on the river from a distance.
As the distance progressed, the warship became clearer and clearer in front of him.
But when he came only more than a mile away from the warship, he could already see the outlines of the warships on the river.
As he was walking, Yang Xiu beside him pointed forward: "Duke Fa, General Zhang is here!"
Looking in the direction of Yang Xiu's finger, Fa Zheng indeed saw a group of people riding horses.
Zhang Yun is walking in the front.
"Is the one who came here?" Zhang Yun stopped at a place that was only twenty or thirty steps away from him, and asked loudly with his hands.
"That's right." Fa Zheng replied, and then asked back: "Is General Zhang ahead?"
"I am Zhang Yun!" Zhang Yun replied and said to Fa Zheng: "I heard that Fa Gong has arrived, and I came to greet him."
"I'm sorry, General Zhang!" Fa Zheng responded and urged the horse to go faster.
Yang Xiu did not follow him, and Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan followed him forward.
When he arrived in front of Zhang Yun, Fa Zheng asked, "When will the general arrive in Sanjiangkou?"
"Just arrived yesterday." Zhang Yun was honest and did not falsely report the time he came. He asked Fa Zheng: "Why did Fa Gong come so late? I thought the army would wait for us at Sanjiangkou."
"There are still many things to be dealt with when breaking through the city." Fa Zheng said apologetically: "What we want to give to the lord is a perfect city, not a place that has been damaged. General Zhang thinks it is not right?"
"What Fa Gong said," Zhang Yun replied, and then asked: "When will Fa Gong launch an attack?"
"It depends on how the general is preparing." Fa Zheng said: "Sanjiangkou is where the Minjiang River, Jinsha River and the Yangtze River meet. In addition to the Yangtze River, the water flows between the Minjiang River and Jinsha River are very turbulent. The Minjiang River is clear and the Jinsha River is turbid, while the Yangtze River is between the two. The river water meets, and there are many whirlpools in it. The situation on the river surface is far more complicated than the wind and waves that the general has seen before."
"I had already observed it when I came yesterday." Zhang Yun smiled and said, "We have been walking on the water surface all year round, and we have seen some such rivers. On the way to come here along the Yangtze River, we passed by a place called Three Gorges. The water conditions there are really complicated, with torrents and whirlpools everywhere. After passing there, the river at the mouth of Sanjiang is so calm that we are facing us."
"It is of course the best for the general to be in trouble." Fa Zheng responded with a smile, and then asked Zhang Yun: "Once the attack is launched, how will General Zhang break through the enemy's defense line?"
Pointing to the other side, Zhang Yun said: "Zhuge Kongming set up many hidden stakes on the shore, and even made people nail many wooden thorns along the river bank. Although our warships are covered with copper on the outside, if they forcefully hit them, they will still suffer."
"The stakes and wooden thorns should be both wood, and the warships will suffer a loss if they wrap copper?" Fa Zheng asked in confusion.
"That's of course." Zhang Yun said: "The outside of the warship is covered with copper skin. After hitting the wooden thorn, it is likely to be pierced by the wooden thorns. After all, the hull is too heavy and the impact is too great. Of course, we may also use the warship to clean up the wooden thorns and stakes. But the risk of doing that is too great. You know, these warships are all treasures of the navy. Even if I am willing to do that, the soldiers will definitely refuse!"
"The navy relies on warships to fight, of course it is very precious to them, I can understand." Fa Zhengdiandu then asked Zhang Yun: "Since General Zhang feels that warships are precious, how should our army cross the river? You can't let the soldiers swim over?"
"That's definitely not possible." Zhang Yun replied with a smile: "Although the warship cannot directly hit the ship, we brought some good things."
He asked Fazheng in a low voice: "Don't Fagong get on the boat and take a look?"
"Of course you have something good, of course you have to see!" Fa Zheng responded with a smile and greeted the army: "Continue to march and stay with the navy."
When he rode forward with Zhang Yun, Fa Zheng asked him: "Where do the navy soldiers live here when they come here? Should they camp on the banks of the river at night and set up tents?"
"Did the Fagong see the tent?" Zhang Yun asked.
Fa Zheng looked forward and was very close to where the navy was stationed, but he didn't see even a tent.
"Don't the soldiers camp on the shore?" Fa Zheng asked Zhang Yun in confusion.
"Of course, we don't camp on the shore." Zhang Yun replied: "We have warships, camp on the shore. If the wind is stronger, the tent may be blown away at any time. If it encounters strong winds and heavy rains, you will suffer. Stay on the warships, as long as they dock on the shore, no matter how big the wind and waves are, it will be no threat to us."
"I seem to understand." Fa Zheng nodded: "The navy soldiers looked down on camping on the shore."
"It's not that I'm not looking down on it, it's just that I'm used to staying on the boat." Zhang Yun replied: "I don't care about it. Since there was a navy army, the soldiers stayed on the boat except going home or looking for their mothers on the shore. It's much more stable for them to walk on the boat than on land."
The two of them walked towards the warship while talking.
It took more than a mile and didn't take long to walk. Soon they arrived at the place where the navy was stationed.
Fa Zheng waved his hand, and Yang Xiu shouted: "The three armies obeyed the orders, set up camp on the spot, waiting for the orders to attack!"
The soldiers stopped you and set up a tent on the shore.
When they set up tents, there would be naval troops standing on each warship standing on it and pointing at them and talking about something.
When you see the soldiers who set up tents, the navy with warships involuntarily will have an inexplicable premonition.
As long as there are rivers, they don’t need to build tents like others do when they go anywhere.
Although some of them are prepared, the soldiers have never used them before.
"Duke Fa, please follow me to the flagship to see." Zhang Yun got off his horse and asked Fa Zheng to follow him to board the flagship: "Break through the enemy's defense line, we have magical weapons on our flagship!"
