Nine hundred and fifty-seventh day a thunderbolt(1/2)

At noon on April 12, 2016, the second year of Yanhe.

Zhang Yue finally met the famous Gong Lushui.

The turbulent river water circumcides a huge river beside the southeast of Yayuan.

The rolling river water flowed eastward, and finally poured into the distant Heilongjiang River.

On both sides of the river bank, there are fragrant grass and countless wild flowers blooming up and down the river valley. The abundant water vapor makes the valley area still green even in summer, becoming an oasis in the vast ocean.

Countless butterflies, birds and insects are attracted here.

Zhang Yue rode his horse, walked along the river bank, and looked at the general situation here once.

I have to say that this Gonglu River is indeed a big river!

The widest part of the river is nearly twenty feet long, as deep as a lake.

Moreover, the river is turbulent and the waves are turbulent.

Fortunately, it is relatively narrow at the river berth and the water flow is relatively smooth, which is suitable for building floating bridges.

After arriving, the infantry of the Feihu Army Tunnel Battalion, which followed the army, immediately began logging and bridge building operations.

In China, BC, the main purpose of making pontoon bridges was to use boats.

Dozens or even hundreds of wooden boats connected together form the main body of the pontoon bridge, and then wooden boards are laid on the fixed wooden boats and tied together with ropes to form a pontoon bridge for people, horses and baggage to pass.

This matter seems simple to say.

But in fact, it is extremely difficult.

Even professional tunnel camps have spent a lot of time on exploration and testing.

Then, someone was sent to row a wooden boat to reach the other side and pull up a rope to connect.

During this process, someone discovered the wreckage of the pontoon bridges created by the Huns when they crossed the river and some unburned piers.

This greatly accelerated the progress of the entire pontoon bridge work.

After two days of intense construction and laying, hundreds of soldiers from the Feihu Army successfully built eight floating bridges for supplies and carriages to pass through on both sides of the Gonglu River.

So, the main force of the Han army passed through these floating bridges in an orderly manner.

For a time, on the Gonglu River, dense crowds of people and cars gathered into a torrent.

After twenty-seven years, after the champion Hou Cavalry General Huo Qubing and Jigong Lushui, another army with the Black Dragon Banner crossed the Huns' mother river and set foot on the river valley land in Hebei.

What appeared before the Han army was a world where deserts, river valleys, yellow sand and Gobi coexist.

This day was the 14th day of the summer of the second year of Han Yanhe (Yiwei).

……………………………………

When the Han army crossed the Gonglu River.

The first new cavalry in Luntai, an important city in the Western Regions, which is thousands of miles apart, has also ushered in the first reborn cavalry in several years.

The Dunhuang Captain's headquarters, which was originally stationed in Dunhuang, had 1,500 cavalrymen, escorted more than 5,000 civilians and transported more than 100,000 stones of food and grass here.

In this way, the wheat beans obtained from Luntai’s military farming last year.

This fortress now has more than 500,000 shi of military rations.

Enough to support the 30,000 army, a month's need!

Such a large-scale military ration transportation act immediately looked like a huge meteorite, smashing into the already boiling situation in the Western Regions, causing countless chain reactions.

Countless information and information flew towards the Chanyu Courtyard, which was set up on the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, like water splashes.

"Shanyu! The Dunhuang Han army transported grain to Luntai!"

"Reported to the Great Chanyu: King Gumo reported that three days ago, he discovered the royal court of Kunmoweng, who was in Wusun, and left Chigu!"

"Reported to the Great Shanyu: There was a report from the merchants and travelers. The Han Dynasty sent envoys to the capital of Dayuan. He wanted to send Dayuan troops with the emperor's integrity!"

"The Great Chanyu: The main force of the Cheshi Captain of King Loulan, who left the Loulan capital yesterday, and his whereabouts were unknown!"

Every news was like a bolt from the blue, destroying Hu Lu Gu's original good mood at once.

Originally, he was very happy.

Seven days ago, Li Ling led his army to attack Shache, and then surrounded Kucha. Within three days, he opened the road to Wei Xu, Wei Li and Yan She.

This finally gave his main force an opportunity to completely eliminate the fear of splitting the group once and for all.

But, it was also from that time that bad news has been going on one after another.

First, the scout reported that the wise men feared to shrink their main force to the northwest and gave up most of the important places in the entire North Tianshan Road.

At that time, Hu Lu Gu thought that the wise men were afraid that they were just using their old tricks and did not dare to do such things.

But I know, the wise man is really here this time!

He really gave up the northern part of Taipei and released the entire Tianshan Mountains, the northern and southern roads of the Western Regions to the Han army.

This forced him to be in a hurry and immediately transferred three thousand cavalry troops to take over and control the strategic areas of the region, and locked the northward road of the Han army in Luntai.

Finally, the Luntai was resealed.

As a result, I heard the bad news that the Han army mobilized food from Luntai!

Before the troops move, food and grass will come first!

The Han army mobilized food to Luntai, and its intention was obvious!

Not to mention, Juyan's main force of the Han army is also ready to move.

And Wusun, Dayuan, and Loulan all had abnormal military mobilizations.

Especially the royal court of Kunmoweng, who was in Wusun, left his old nest, Chigu, and approached the border, which was particularly fatal!

This made Hu Lu Gu feel as if the whole world was enemies of him overnight.

"Li Guangli really wants to hunt in Tianshan with me again? Or is Weng Guimi the bastard who wants to oppose this Shanyu with the ancestors?" Hu Lu Gu bit her lip. Now he had to think about what if the Han army suddenly attacked the ancestors and the emperors and the emperors suddenly attacked from Luntai, Juyan, and Loulan, and three directions and headed straight to Tianshan. How should he deal with the situation?

We have to consider the possibility of Wusun Cavalry joining the battlefield and helping the wise men to fear!

"The Great Shanyu, King Jiankun urgently reported it!" While thinking, another envoy, holding a sheepskin letter, delivered it to Hu Lu Gu.

Hulugu took it, opened it and finally smiled, saying, "It is indeed worthy of being the great general whom Shanyu valued and relied on! King Jiankun is a famous general of the Huns!"

This battle report was Li Ling who captured the three most important ranches near Kucha.

Once these three pastures were lost, the cavalry that had been feared by the wise men lost the most critical cheese and livestock supplements.

We can only rely on small countries like Yan She and Wei Li to supplement them.

Obviously, these three small countries cannot bear the consumption of tens of thousands of cavalry that the ancestors feared!

This made Hu Lu Gu very excited!

"It will take at least half a month for the Han army to complete the full mobilization and organization!" Hu Lugu stood in front of a map drawn on sheepskin, staring at the Han army's Luntai, Juyan and Loulan, and his lips curled up slightly: "As for Wusun, Dayuan's army, it will take at least one month to complete assembly and support..."

"They also need to make up their minds, they need to mobilize and gather food, and armor!"

"But this Shanyu can quickly leave Tianshan Mountain and cooperate with King Jiankun within a few days to solve the fear of his ancestors!"

Hu Lu Gu has enough confidence in this regard.

He believed that as long as his Shanyu dragon flag appeared in front of the cavalry of the wise men.

Then, those soldiers loyal to the Shanyu and the Twins will know how to make a decision.

The four major clans, the Twin Clans and other nobles naturally understood the fact that the wise men were afraid of being finished.

And the monarchs and ministers of Weixu, Yuli, Yan She and other servants of the country would definitely vote with their feet.

In this way, most of the wise men are afraid of the army that they can truly rely on will be reduced.

In the end, what he actually had to deal with was three ten thousand cavalry from the headquarters of King Rizhu, who were loyal to his ancestors, and up to twenty thousand cavalry.

And he has a total of 200,000 cavalry and 150,000 elites!

Such a military advantage can allow him to quickly solve the fear of his ancestors!

Then, I turned around and faced the challenges of the Han army, Wusun and anyone else leisurely!

He was about to give an order to summon the royal nobles to discuss matters.

An envoy hurriedly ran in, knelt in front of him, and bowed in a crying voice: "Da Shanyu! Mobei urgently reported!"

Hu Lu Gu was slightly stunned and took the report from the messenger's hand. After only one look, he trembled and looked at the messenger incredibly, asking, "Is this true?"

"Report to the Great Shanyu! This is true!"

Hu Lu Gu felt a mouthful of passion, and it surged from her heart and went straight to her forehead.

There was a buzzing sound in the seven orifices.

There are countless things in my mind that keep flashing.

He thought of the efforts of his father and grandfather, and his hard work over the years to completely eliminate the wise and his efforts to completely eliminate the wise and his efforts to gather troops and eliminate the wise and his efforts to eliminate the wise and his current efforts to this spring.

Countless promises, countless resources.
