    And through the curtain, I was admiring the turbulent Fenhe River not far away. Although it is almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is still very hot. It is a pity that it is a battle now. Otherwise, I would go for a swim.  It must be very refreshing to come down, and in such a clear river, there may be many fish and shrimps.  Just when I was thinking a lot, Yang Gongdao actually came to me.  "My dear brother, in your opinion, what should we do?" Finally, Yang Gongdao, who was sitting on the main seat and pretending to be a clay-embodied Bodhisattva for a long time, turned his attention to me.  After coming back to his senses, I narrowed my eyes. After thinking for a while, my heart moved: "Turks don't know the nature of water, right?" "Turks are further north than us, living in the vast grasslands and Gobi.  How can someone who lives in such a place know the nature of water?" Zhao Gan, the general of Zuotunwei, glanced at me and replied directly.  I nodded, and the vague thoughts in my heart gradually became clear.  "Compared with our crossbows and those of the Turks, which one has a longer range?" Zhao Gan answered without thinking.  "Of course our crossbows are farther, and the Turks are good at shooting. However, their bows are not as sophisticated as our Sui Dynasties. They are average, that is, between seventy and eighty paces. However, our Sui army's horn bows can shoot from a distance."  A distance of 90 to 100 steps, while an ordinary crossbow can shoot a distance of 150 steps. "One hundred and fifty steps, that is to say, the throwing distance of the crossbow can reach more than 200 meters.  In terms of bow shooting, the range is one-third longer. Of course, the so-called crossbows of later generations are not as far as they can be. They are completely the kind of crossbows that have no arrow feathers and only pursue destructive power, or only pursue standardization.  In this era, the difference between arrows and crossbow arrows is not big, and crossbow arrows and feather arrows can even be used. Moreover, the ancient "The Art of War of the Duke of Wei?"  There is also a record in it: The crossbowman will fire the arrow when he is one hundred and fifty steps away from the thief, and the archer will fire the arrow when he is 60 steps away from the thief. If the thief comes within 20 steps, both the archer and the crossbowman will give up their crossbows and order them to station.  Team members collect.  From this we can imagine how big the difference is between the range of a crossbow and the range of a bow?  Since it is recorded in the military book, it means that whether it is a crossbow or a bow, it must be the standard weapon of the soldiers, and it is definitely not a specially made thing.  Therefore, in terms of range, even if there is a difference, the difference is not that big.  "That means we can shoot the Turks, but the Turks can't shoot us, right?" I asked another question.  "If we only use the range to judge distance, it is indeed the case. Why, my dear brother, could it be that you have thought of some way?" Yang Shidao said very curiously.  "I just saw that the Turkic camp is stationed on the river bank. If we attack at night from the bank on foot and on horseback, the noise will be too great, and the Turkic people will definitely detect it. If we use water power to travel on the Fen River  Then he attacked them with powerful crossbows and fire arrows. No matter how powerful their riding and archery skills were, those Turks must have been unable to do anything. " After hearing what I said, Li Shimin couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he high-fived: "This  It is indeed a good idea, but if there are fewer boats, they will only serve as a source of harassment. After all, the Fen River is not as good as the Yellow River. There are not many boats on it, mostly fishing boats and small boats, which cannot carry too much.  "It doesn't matter. I see that there are lush trees on the east bank of the Fen River. There seems to be a large bamboo forest there. If we cut bamboo to make bamboo rafts, whether it is to harass the enemy or transport troops.  Crossing the river to contact General Yun in Jingle County is a good choice, do you think so?" I nodded and pointed to the location about a few miles away on the east bank of the river, where I could vaguely see.  The bamboos and trees are connected together.  "Yes, the trestle in the east of the city is still there. The Turks are not familiar with the nature of the water, so they will definitely not dare to cross the river to attack it. However, we can send some people who are familiar with the nature of the water to cross the river first and inform General Yun. In addition, we can send people to take it first.  Come and ship some supplies to the general." Zhao Gan, the general of Zuotunwei, couldn't help being overjoyed and stood up and asked Yang Gongdao, the current commander.  "Your Majesty, how about I tell the general to send someone over right now? I quickly stood up and stopped him and said, "It's not dark yet, don't worry, we must not let the Turks see us sending someone to contact the general.  What we should do most now is to let those Turks relax their vigilance. Only then can we achieve the greatest results.  Yang Gongdao nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, don't worry, General Zhao. It's Shenshi now. It will be dark in an hour at most. The most important thing we need to do now is to organize the defense line. Don't let it go."  The Turks have an opportunity to take advantage of.  "After the discussion was finalized, nearly a thousand people who were proficient in water nature were quickly selected from among the young men and elites in Guanzhong to stand by, while the others continued to strengthen the camp to guard against surprise attacks by the Turks. "As for my subordinates,  It only took less than an hour to transport all the horse carcasses that were no more than a hundred steps away from the camp, and there were already a dozen large pots, and the blood and flesh from the horse meat was being boiled and the official stew began.  After the soldiers used up the food hastily, they began to dig a path about one foot wide in front of the carriage.The trench was almost one foot deep.  Naturally, my master followed suit and dug hard, and the excavated soil formed an earth wall just outside the carriage.  The Turks noticed that we were making preparations for defense, and coupled with the air raid just now, they lost nearly 2,000 people.  Therefore, they did not come to disturb our actions. Perhaps in their eyes, as long as we did not try our best to join the defenders in Jingle County.  After all, tens of thousands of people were working together. In two hours, an earthen wall about one foot and a half wide and one foot high was built around the carriage.  With the appearance of this earth wall, the young men and soldiers in the river bend could not help but relax a little. Compared with the Turks who were good at attacking, the people from the Central Plains were better at defense. With this solid earth wall,  Wall, with the same troop strength and the lack of heavy weapons in siege methods, our safety is finally guaranteed.  At this time, the horse meat was already well-cooked and fragrant. The thick and hard bread was used to wrap the well-cooked and fragrant horse meat in the middle. Both of them devoured it hungrily, and even divided it into pieces.  A lot of it was given to other troops, so that everyone could have a good taste of the flavor of this horse meat being burned.  "It's really fragrant. Brother Xian, you are really good at making it." Yang Gongdao was full and tasted the last mouthful of the broth with some reluctance. After finishing the fire roast, he drank a bowl of steaming broth. Such a feeling  , it was really refreshing to the extreme.  The two noble dandies ate with their mouths full of oil and praised them endlessly. However, Li Xuanba, who had an extraordinary appetite, gnawed three large pieces of horse meat and drank two large bowls of soup before he stopped.  That belly almost looks like three or five months pregnant.  Seeing that Yao Guang and Li Shimin felt embarrassed, they quickly stayed away from this foodie brother. Although they also ate a lot, at least they were not as stunned as Li Xuanba.  "There should be a lot of horse meat left. Let them all come over and get some for cooking. However, I'm afraid you have to come up with the spices." Yang Gongdao also loves horse meat roasted on fire, and he ate it while he was full.  Er said at the same time, "There is no problem. We have only eaten one or two thousand kilograms of horse meat. There are at least tens of thousands kilograms there. Let them just go and get it. As for other spices, let them ask Li Yuanfang to get it." They have already eaten.  The young master, who has a round belly, rubbed his belly with satisfaction and said with a smile.  Spices are a trivial matter, but there are many. At worst, someone will go to Jingle County to search for them. Whether it is spices or pharmacies, there will be a lot of spices. I chewed slowly, well, eat something.  There is no point in hurrying. The most important thing is to taste the taste. For example, if the horse meat is well stewed and the spices are added enough, it will taste fragrant and long aftertaste. Unfortunately, there is no wine, but it is definitely a good drink with wine.  At this time, someone rushed over to report that people from Jingle County were coming. Of course, they quietly sailed to our current camp.  The leader was none other than General Yun Dingxing.  Seeing this arrival, we quickly stood up and saluted the general.  "No need to be polite, hey, what are you eating? Why is it so delicious?" General Yun, who entered the tent and smelled the smell of horse meat and broth, couldn't help but twitch his nose and asked curiously.  "General, please sit down. You haven't had your dinner yet. Come and serve four cakes and two pounds of horse meat to the general." Yang Gongdao smiled and asked General Yun to sit down. In a short time, someone came  A large plate was brought, with four Yuliang cakes and a plate of fragrantly stewed horse meat.  "General, please use it. This is stewed with the meat of the horses that the Turks abandoned here. The taste is first-class." Yang Gong said this, coupled with the expressions of us eating and drinking, General Yun also made General Yun  When the appetite arose, he started to eat without any hesitation.  "Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect that horse meat tastes so good. It seems that our military rations can be saved a lot because of this, haha." After chewing for a long time, Yun Dingxing reluctantly swallowed a big mouthful of burned horse meat and couldn't help but feel happy.  He said with a raised eyebrow.  Next, after finishing two pieces of cake and more than a kilogram of horse meat as quickly as possible, Yun Dingxing drank a large bowl of soup. Yun Dingxing, who finally put down the soup bowl with satisfaction, wiped his mouth and asked about the situation of the battle.  And he also informed us of the war situation in Jingle County.  I am very fortunate that Jingle County is the seat of Loufan County after all. Jingle County has high walls and thick walls, and five thousand of the seven thousand county soldiers are here.  Coupled with the 5,000 Guanzhong elite cavalry brought by Yun Dingxing, Jingle County has more than 10,000 troops. Today's Turkic attack did not cause too many casualties, but again, the defenders lacked heavy weapons to defend the city.  , there is also no way to deal with those Turks. The most the two sides can do is demonstrate their archery skills, or spit at each other.  Anyway, the Turks are really not very good at attacking cities. Even the siege ladders they have made are horribly rough. There are even funny stories of Turkic soldiers falling into the crowd after climbing halfway up because the ladder fell apart.  It also happens.
