126 The Crazy King's Sneak Attack (Part 2)

The next morning, Zhu Qizhuo ordered Qi Jin to summon more than 20 soldiers of the Qi family army who were proficient in water to start drilling to build a temporary dock.

This temporary dock is actually very simple to build, that is, insert three shelves into the mud in the water, and then put a raft-like platform on the three shelves and it's done.

However, many things are easier said than done, and the same is true for building temporary docks. If you don’t do it, you won’t know it. There are a lot of problems when you start.

For example, it is not easy to insert a wooden rack into the mud in the water, because the wood has buoyancy. Not to mention inserting a rack into the mud, it is difficult to stand firm in the turbulent river water.

This problem is not very difficult to solve. Just tie a huge rock of about 100 kilograms to each of the four wooden piles of each wooden stand.

For example, when a boat arrives on the other side, it is also a problem to pull the materials for building the wharf to ashore, because it is impossible for the boat to directly reach the river bank. At most, it must stop after ten steps closer to the shore, otherwise it may be stranded.

In other words, the materials used to build the dock can only be unloaded directly into the water, and they cannot be unloaded on the shore at all.

This question is a bit brain-consuming. More than 20 soldiers of the Qi family army practiced for a whole day before they could barely meet the requirement of building two temporary docks in one hour.

Next, you can implement the tactic of crossing the river sneak attack.

In the evening that day, the sun had just set, and there was still a ray of rays of light in the sky. More than ten figures suddenly sneaked up on a small hill on the north bank of the Jialing River, lay on the top of the mountain, and looked towards the south bank.

If the rebels on the South Bank saw them, they would definitely be shocked.

Because most of these people wear terrifying bronze masks, they look a bit terrifying, and the few who don’t wear bronze masks are even more terrifying.

Ma Qiancheng, Qin Bangping, Qin Yiming, etc., are all famous generals on the land of Bashu.

What are they doing?

Of course, we came to investigate the terrain.

Zhu Qizhe raised his telescope and slowly glanced around the other side, then asked: "Brother-in-law, Chongqing Prefecture City, Fotu Pass, Qingmu Pass, and Erlang Pass have any changes in the military strength?"

Ma Qiancheng put down his telescope, shook his head slightly and said, "No, there were spies who went to explore the two days ago, and the troops everywhere did not change at all."

Zhu Qizhu said with a little thanks to him: "Well, it seems they don't know we're here yet."

He glanced around the banks of the river with a telescope, and then asked: "Is there really no sentry detectives in the more than ten miles between Chongqing Fucheng and Fotu Pass?"

Ma Qiancheng still shook his head slightly and said, "No, the Jiajing River and the Yangtze River are all natural barriers, and few people can swim over. Moreover, even if they can swim over, they can't bring weapons, equipment, food and supplies. Ordinary fishing boats cannot cross the river within such a short distance, so there is no need for them to set up a sentry in this section."

Hehe, these rebels are so careless that they should be attacked!

Zhu Qizhe glanced at him with a telescope again, then waved his hand without hesitation.

A secret guard in a farm uniform stood up and rushed down from the top of the mountain, rushed to the riverside, and plunged into the river.

He dived and floated up, as if he wanted to touch some fish in the river.

However, after a while, he swam back to the shore without even touching any fish, ran back to the mountain, leaning against Zhu Qizhu, and panting: "Prince, the river bank here is a little slower than that. It is three steps away from the shore, and the depth is only five feet. Six steps away from the shore is only ten steps away from the shore, and the depth reaches three feet."

Zhu Qizhuo nodded slightly, then carefully glanced with the telescope, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go back first."

After saying that, he leaned down and retreated down the hill, then got up, and ran down the mountain with his waist.

Everyone followed him down the mountain, got on the war horse, and walked slowly north for about a mile before whipping the horse and heading straight for the army camp.

Early on the third morning, Zhu Qizhe summoned the generals to the commander's tent and began to arrange tasks.

He ordered directly: "Ma Xianglin, make two more sets of materials to build temporary docks. The raft platform does not need to be changed, so it is made according to the original size. As for the wooden frames, all three feet shortened, they must be completed this afternoon."

Ma Xianglin hurriedly bowed and said, "I will obey the order."

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Qizhi ordered: "Qi Jin, Qin Yiming, during the day today, you take turns to practice quickly building temporary wharfs with soldiers who are proficient in water. Other soldiers will rest well and maintain their spirits. In the evening, you will lead your men and horses, bring all the weapons and equipment, and bring the equipment to build temporary wharfs. Depart at the hour of Hai, go to the river bank last night, and prepare to cross the river. Remember, you can't use a torch. After crossing the river, just guard the dock on the other side."

When Qi Jin and Qin Yiming heard this, they hurriedly bowed and said, "I will obey the order."

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Qizhi ordered: "Ma Qiancheng, Qin Gongming, Li Wanxiong, Qin Zuoming, you will lead the Imperial Guards to Peace the East Army, bring all the weapons and equipment, set out at Zishi and Choushi respectively, and prepare to cross the river. Remember, you can't make a torch. Don't make noise after crossing the river, just help the Qi family army guard the pier."

Ma Qiancheng, Qin Gongming and Li Wanxiong, and Qin Zuoming heard this, he hurriedly bowed and said, "I will obey the order."

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Qizhi ordered: "After Ma Xianglin, Qin Zuoming, and the Imperial Guards' Peace East Army set off, you will demolish all the tents, bring all the equipment, head to the river bank, and prepare to cross the river."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xianglin and Qin Zuoming hurriedly bowed, "I will obey the order."

It was night, the moon was shining, and there seemed to be nothing abnormal on the banks of the Jialing River except for the gurgling sound of water.

Before midnight, tens of thousands of Qi's army suddenly appeared silently on the river bank.

With Qi Jin waved his hand, more than ten soldiers of the Qi family army carried three tic-tac-shaped wooden frames into the water.

After a while, three wooden frames lined up in a straight line, extending about eight steps from the edge of the river bank to the middle of the river.

Qi Jin waved his hand again, and more than ten soldiers of the Qi family army carried a three-meter-long raft and stretched out directly from the shore and pressed on the three wooden frames.

About twenty people stood on a raft that was ten feet wide and hit the big hammer wrapped in thick cloth for a while, and a simple dock was built.

Not long after, a hundred wheels and boats lined up in a long row and slowly walked along the north bank of the Jialing River.

Qi Jin waved his hand again, and more than twenty soldiers of the Qi family quickly carried a raft and three wooden frames and stepped on the first wheel boat that was docked on the temporary dock. Soon the wheel boat drove at full speed and headed straight for the other shore.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the Qi family army stepped onto the coming ships one after another, as if they were dumplings. On the river, the ships quickly lined up in a horizontal line and extended to the other side.

As soon as the first wheel boat arrived near the beach on the other side, more than ten soldiers of the Qi family pulled the rope into the water and swam quickly to the shore. Then, they pulled the rope to pull the raft and three wooden frames to the shore. Then, more than ten soldiers of the Qi family lined into the water and started to stand the wooden frames.

Not long after, another simple dock was built by them.

In less than an hour, nearly 5,000 soldiers of the Qi family army stepped onto the beach between Chongqing Prefecture City and Fotuguan through the temporary dock, and quickly launched a defensive formation on the beach.

The wheels turned quickly, and the remaining five thousand soldiers of the Qi family boarded the boat one after another and arrived on the beach on the other side.

At this point, the sneak attack was basically successful. Even if the rebels in Chongqing Fucheng and Fotu Pass discovered their traces at this time, they would be unable to do so.
