The flow of the Pinchi river is not fast, especially if the section of the pontoon bridge should be said to be quite mild.
The construction of floating bridge is just like that. A floating thing is used as the base, and then a passable bridge deck is laid, which can provide cross-strait communication.
Although it seems to be a very simple project, there are still few countries (nationalities) that can be achieved. The simplest thing is that it can't be done without a certain cultural heritage, let alone the rapid establishment of a stable floating bridge.
The more countries (nations) without civilization, the more they can't do big projects. This can be said to be a human truth. Whether before ancient times or long after, the truth is the same.
A Han army of a division came to the West Bank through a floating bridge. Some officers walked around the West Bank and soon had a plan.
They will build fortifications on the West Bank. Whether they are setting up fences, walls or digging ditches, they will inevitably involve some knowledge of civil engineering.
The soldiers of the regular army will help, but the real work is the auxiliary troops.
A considerable number of auxiliary soldiers are not the first to do those jobs. They have accumulated considerable experience and finished the division of labor soon.
"Let's go to the forest to cut down wood." The guy in Batong's hand was replaced with an axe: "anyway, it's necessary to cut bald. Straight wood can be used to build fences and cause horse resistance and spikes, and the rest can be used as firewood."
Since it will soon become a battlefield, it is inevitable to cut down the surrounding woods. In addition to the large amount of wood required by our own troops, we are unwilling to leave it to the enemy for use.
What Tai Shiming is holding in his hand is a saw, which looks like a bow and is also called a hacksaw.
The Han Army preset this side of the floating bridge as a battlefield. Depending on how much time they have, they will cut down the available wood in the surrounding area. It is conceivable that it will become a bare area in the next few years. I don't know what impact it will have on the ecology.
Zhuxia is never unfamiliar with war. Whether it is a national war or a civil war, as long as a place is preset as a battlefield, the surrounding woods will definitely suffer blood and mold.
Once a war breaks out in a place all year round, even if it was densely forested before, it will inevitably become a "white land" after several wars. Gradually, it is difficult to see forests in that place, resulting in irreversible changes in the water and soil environment, resulting in the phenomenon of water and soil loss. Some are self healing by nature, Some places have become bare loess land.
Cart after cart of wood was transported back to the camp. More people cut the wood cut back and made all kinds of things with wood.
"Ordinary horse resisting is a triangular support frame. The ground pier and rising point are all cut with sharp thorns. The two supporting legs should be straightened, and the other should be tilted..." Ba Dong likes Tai Shiming very much, I don't mind imparting more knowledge: "just like this, this piece of wood tilted forward has lethality, and the enemy's war horse will do great damage. This thing will be called resisting the horse."
Juma distinguishes between monomer and platoon. We need to see where it will be placed.
For example, the anti horse placed near the passage usually uses a single anti horse. Soldiers like to display it irregularly. In that way, it is not a question of whether the enemy cavalry can escape easily. If they don't want to collide with the anti horse, they have to stop.
The anti horse of the platoon will generally cooperate with the fence. It is mainly placed in front of the fence in a row to prevent the enemy from using cavalry to collide with the fence and cause damage, forcing the enemy to come on foot even if they want to destroy the fence.
In any military action, horse resistance is a trivial gadget, but it has repeatedly made great achievements. With their obstruction, long-range forces can play a greater role.
"We have done a good job in large-scale horse rejection. Later, we will do a small-scale horse rejection." Ba Dong compared the size with his hand: "in fact, it is an iron Tribulus terrestris with wooden structure."
The output of pig iron in the Han Empire is the largest in the world, but there are too many places where pig iron is needed. It's hard to ensure that it is sufficient in all aspects.
The shape of Tribulus terrestris is a sharp object with four corners. It can be made of metal or wood.
At present, only the war horses of the Han Empire are equipped with Horseshoes in the world, and other countries have not found that they can put "shoes" on horseshoes for the time being.
In fact, even if a horse is covered with horseshoes, stepping on iron tribulus will be finished. Horseshoes without horseshoes, let alone iron tribulus, even stones can cause great damage to horseshoes.
Therefore, if there are too many small gravel on the road, it is also a big trouble for the cavalry. There are not so many suitable battlefields for the cavalry.
At the age of 16, Tai Shiming began to participate in "two seasons of military training" in the village, but he couldn't learn a lot of knowledge. He was very impressed that his older uncle knew what he should do and could do the work so well and quickly.
"We are auxiliary soldiers. That's what we do." Ba Dong said with a smile, "this is a thing handed down from generation to generation. People who don't understand come to the military camp and learn what to do from their predecessors. Do it a few times more and you will become the one who teaches the younger generation. However, try to be the one who doesn't need to do these jobs, you know?"
Tai Shiming looked at the soldiers passing in line, the uniform they were wearing, and their unsmiling faces. The chicken nodded to Ba Dong.
This is the west of the western regions, which originally belonged to the hunit people.
The hunites who used to live on a piece of land are mainly herding, the level of civilization is not high, and there are no towns around.
It is difficult to see the river here, such as the scene in the territory of the Han Empire. For example, there are boats floating on the river. It should be said that a decent boat can not be found in dozens of miles of reach.
"The enemy can't collect boats. The only way to cross the river is to make rafts." Huo Dong collected the boats and boats on the river. They were made after the arrival of the Han people: "there is a shallow beach twelve miles away from us. In summer, the riverbed will be naked 1 exposed."
The riverbed of a river is deep and shallow, and there will be some natural changes according to different seasons, precipitation and so on.
"No enemy of more than 200000 can be all hunites." When Li Kuang knew the number of enemy troops, he already understood that there must be a great change in the international situation: "we should be prepared for long-term operations here, and there should be no omissions!"
It is a necessary accomplishment for a unified general to master the size related factors that may be beneficial to the enemy on the battlefield. The fuller the understanding of the terrain, the better.
Huo Dong has been on duty here for more than a year. He usually carries out activities along the river bank whenever he has the opportunity. He doesn't have a lot of records on hand.
"Always pay attention to the upstream." Li Kuang pointed to the U-shaped turning point on the sand table: "it's not easy for us to act at this place, but the enemy can rely on its own position advantage."
Li Kuang is worried that the enemy will choose to build dams. Whether the enemy wants water attack or building dams to lower the water level downstream, it will not be a good thing for them.
Huo Dong didn't foolishly say that the enemy was a gang of barbarians. He didn't know so much.
It is not wrong that the Han people are the dominant ethnic group in the world, but if they regard other races as fools, they will really become the stupidest fools.
"There is an observation post over there." Huodong asked, "do you need to build a camp there?"
Li kuangqi gave Huo Dong a strange look.
That place is not a small area, it is a large area, and the reach that can build a dam is exaggerated.
There are fewer troops to be stationed, which is of no use.
If more troops are sent to station, the other side is likely to become the main battlefield.
"Always pay attention." Li Kuang took back his sight, looked at the sand table and asked, "the enemy still stayed in place?"
The Scouts of the Han Army have detected some intelligence, including the discovery of the military flags of sassanne and Rome. In response, the two great empires sent troops eastward.
This news was very useful to Li Kuang, enabling him to judge more clearly what kind of war he was about to face.
As for what purpose sassanne and Rome, including those other countries, formed a coalition and made actual war behavior, it is not what Li Kuang cares about. What he needs to do is to guess the scale of the war and then ask the center for reinforcements.
"The enemy still didn't move." Huo Dong also knows that sassanne and Rome have joined the war. The only emotion is excitement. It can be regarded as another war. It may be an unprecedented war: "they didn't rush across the Pinchi river before you led the army. They should want to wait for the follow-up troops to come and concentrate the superior forces to attack."
Li Kuang is more or less happy about this.
The news I got before was that there were only 80000 enemy troops invading. Although hunnit was crippled, if he fought his old life, he could still get 80000 steps to ride. Li kuangzhen didn't think more about the direction of forming a coalition of countries.
Waiting for further information to continue to return, the number of enemy troops found has increased from 80000 to more than 200000. Li Kuang has led his troops to the Pinchi river.
Didn't the enemy press up immediately? Li Kuang's inner pressure is a little bigger. He could not judge the final number of the enemy. After all, it was a coalition of so many countries. Even Rome thousands of miles away sent troops on an expedition. We can imagine how sincere their alliance was this time.
If there were not only one standing army in his hand, Li Kuang would choose to take the initiative to attack it, so as not to let the enemy assemble so comfortably.
Unfortunately, what Li Kuang could use was only the size of a standing army, and only two divisions pulled to the front line. He really didn't have much capital to disturb the layout of the enemy.
40000 auxiliary troops? They are all auxiliary soldiers. In terms of organization, even the level of county soldiers is not as good as that of county soldiers. It is still useful to fight positional warfare. The field battle in the swimming mode is that the Han people die not enough and not fast enough.
"The formation of the slave army should be faster!" The object of Li Kuang's speech is Shi Songping, commander of the army. "Within three months, I want to see 200000 servants join the army and arrive at the front line."
Each unit of the Han Army has a long history. If the prefix "accompanying the army" is added to the long history, it is not only a role similar to the chief of staff, but also the "housekeeper" of the army.
Song Ping raised her eyebrows and replied with some embarrassment: "promise!"
Within the whole Anxi Prefecture, the number of people from the western regions is unknown. Is there 1.5 million left. Because of the reduction policy of the Han Empire towards the western regions, men in the western regions are killed or captured all the time. It's not so easy to pull out a 200000 cannon fodder in three months.
Of course, Li Kuang knows the difficulty, but no matter how difficult it is, he must do it!
It is obvious that so many countries have united. As a prominent part in the west, anxidu protectorate is bound to become a strategic military unit in the future.
It was a war that I didn't know how long it would last, and it was even difficult to judge whether the war would be carried out in or outside the jurisdiction of anxidu protectorate. The existence of western people would become a threat that can't be ignored. If western people make trouble, anxidu protectorate would have a lot of fun.
Song Ping obviously knew the consequences. He remained silent for a while and promised, "I'll start writing immediately and urge the rear."
Li Kuang Shen nodded heavily and even urged.
At this moment, Li Kuang does not care what means he uses. What he wants is to eliminate potential threats, or the enemy will invade and there will be internal problems. With their current strength, there will be bad consequences.
"We build a defense here." Li Kuang's eyes kept patrolling back and forth on the sand table. After reading the sand table, he went to the shelf of the mountain map hanging throughout the territory of Anxi capital guard house: "in addition to the Red River defense line, Congling..."
The Central Committee's decision to expand the establishment of anxidu protectorate has been passed, and Li Kuang has not been notified in time.
However, even if the Central Committee decides to expand the Anxi capital guard to the size of three standing armies, it will certainly take time to mobilize troops. It will take the highest priority to deal with it, and it will take another month to arrive as soon as possible. It is equivalent to that Anxi capital guard needs to use the current limited force to deal with the current situation.
Li Kuang felt it necessary to build a defense line in the abdomen to prevent the rear from blocking the enemy's advance after the front-line war worsened.
There are few routes suitable for marching in the western regions. In fact, there are only two routes suitable for large-scale troops, all of which are displayed as corridors. In this way, there are not too many directions to prevent in advance, because it is difficult to build passes due to the relevant terrain.
"Lucheng, Tieshan, Shule..." Li Kuang frowned: "we all need to improve the city defense specifications."
There are many cities in the western regions. Almost every city has military value. Some cities in special areas have higher military value, such as those named by Li Kuang. Generally, as long as the cities are not lost, the enemy dare not easily bypass them.
"We need reinforcements..." Song Ping said the key question: "the more, the better."
