Volume 1 Emperor Chapter 70 Armageddon (3)
On the school ground, which belongs to the Iceberg Camp alone, the three hundred armor soldiers of the Iceberg Battalion stand like a mountain here. Silence, deathly silence makes the night wind even more bleak.
Xiao Yu and Lao Si Leng Feng stood in front of the army, and now Leng Feng, as the deputy general of the Iceberg Battalion, has full authority to handle the affairs of the Iceberg Battalion when Xiao Yu is away.
Xiao Yu said solemnly: "The cliff behind Fusang City, everyone must have heard of it. Now there is a heavy responsibility on our shoulders, and I want you to conquer it, not just to climb up, but also to climb up with hundreds or even hundreds of pounds of equipment on your back. Some people may have doubts in their hearts, I, as the leader of the iceberg battalion, will never deceive you, a new battle plan has been issued, the people in the armory will disassemble the ballista, and our task is to carry the ballista to the top of the mountain, and then assemble it and fight on the top of the mountain. Now the commander of the White Iron Army has gone to the armory to coordinate. ”
Xiao Yu looked at the soldiers who were still silent in front of him, and continued: "We are going to test now, starting tonight with a weight of 100 catties per person to climb the cliff, and then gradually increase the weight until each person can carry 500 catties and climb to the top proficiently." Whether Fusang City can be captured or not, it depends on you, ugly words ahead, someone will fall down, broken to pieces, even the corpse capital may not be found, afraid of death is now out of the ranks, I will not punish you. ”
There was still a deathly silence, and no one answered, but the sound of the fingers clenching their fists was the answer of the entire iceberg battalion, and at this time it was more intimidating than the three armies.
In the big tent of the commander of the Chinese army, Wen Luo has already told the god king and several generals of his strategy. The generals all recognized this strategy, and at the same time sweated for the success of the iceberg battalion, because that cliff was by no means touchable by ordinary people, let alone carrying that kind of heavy equipment.
The god-king only said one word, and the generals had nothing to say. "I believe Chu Xiaoyu can do it. ”
The moon is in the sky, making the black less dark. Looking up from the bottom of the mountain, the cliff top is like a line that divides the night sky in half.
The iceberg camp is ready to be put in place, each carrying a hundred pounds of rocks ready to climb.
Because the mountain is so hard, it is impossible to dig out a stone ladder in a short time, and the mountain is more than 10,000 feet high, so it is impossible to hold some ropes.
For this purpose, Xiaoyu specially made special gloves and shoe covers out of bear skin, so that on the one hand, it can increase the area of strength, so that soldiers will not fall down and lose their lives because of slippery hands and feet, and on the other hand, it can protect the soldiers' hands, because it is easy to scrap their hands if they are not protected when climbing here.
The sound of the bleak wind is the only melody here, and the three hundred soldiers began their journey to conquer the Dingjun Mountain Cliff. There are no tools to use, the soldier can rely on his feet and hands to use the rocks protruding from the cliff or the recessed stone pit to climb up step by step, the key is that he is still carrying a hundred pounds of stones, and this is only the first trial.
The last order given by the little fish was: not to make any sound until death, so as not to startle the snake.
God King Bai Qi and the generals were all watching these three hundred armor soldiers not far away, including of course some mainstays such as Bai Tiejun and Wen Luo. They clenched their hands tightly into fists, silently cheering for the brothers of the Iceberg Battalion, because the magic weapon of this battle was these three hundred armor soldiers.
At first, there was nothing abnormal, the three hundred armor soldiers climbed in an orderly manner, time passed in breath by breath, I don't know how long it took, and finally one soldier fell down because of exhaustion, his hand was not grasped steadily. At the moment of falling, he covered his mouth with his own hands, in order to prevent people from screaming uncontrollably at the most dangerous moment, and he did this because he knew that he must not make the slightest noise at this time, and the whole plan would be in vain. He fell down with such a movement, and his bones were shattered in an instant.
The people on their side cried when they saw their brother fall, but they still didn't make a sound, they gritted their steel teeth and continued to climb so that they could reach the top of the cliff.
The generals not far away bit their fingers fiercely, tears were already wet on their chests, and they saw their subordinates and their brothers being crushed to pieces, how could they not feel distressed? Their hearts were like knives, but they could not make any sound to release their emotions, and the blood of their fingers kept flowing down the corners of their mouths, and they did not know it at all. Only by offering the most standard military salute in their hearts can they express their admiration.
I don't know how long later, another person fell, and it was such a scene again, several generals covered their faces with their hands, and they couldn't bear to see this tragic scene again.
After a long, long time, the armor soldiers finally climbed to the top of the cliff, and they saw the scene in Fuso City, where all the soldiers and civilians were actively preparing for battle, relying on the same perseverance as them. When the soldiers saw this, they retreated silently.
At the end of the first trial, a total of ten armor soldiers were killed. Bai Qi ordered the ten broken bones to be buried in the best coffin, and the Emperor Bingming was buried in the hero's grave.
Bai Qi ordered the slaughter of cattle and sheep to reward these heroes, and after such a huge physical exertion, it may be more practical to be able to have a hearty meal than a reward of money. During such a serious period, the Imperial Army would never let the soldiers drink, even the soldiers of the Iceberg Battalion, so it was the best relaxation to let them eat at this time.
After a day of rest, a new round of trials opened, it was still this place, it was still the brothers of the iceberg camp, the difference was that the weight of the stones they carried on their backs had increased to two hundred catties, although they had already experienced a trial and had some experience, but at the same time, the difficulties had increased a lot, and it had become a new challenge for them.
By the end of the second trial, another unknown soldier was still buried in the hero's grave.
In the third trial, carrying 300 catties, at the end of which three soldiers were unfortunately killed, and their bones were buried in the hero's grave.
At the end of the fourth trial, two soldiers were unfortunately killed, and their bones were buried in the hero's grave.
At the end of the fifth trial, a soldier was unfortunately killed, and his bones were buried in the hero's grave.
Xiao Yu ordered the Iceberg Camp to be corrected for three days to relieve the fatigue accumulated from these five trials. At the same time, he also had to inform Bai Qi and the generals of his strategy.
In the big tent, Xiaoyu explained his intention to Bai Qi, and Bai Qi informed all the generals and pioneers, ready to listen to Xiaoyu's strategy.
Xiao Yu looked at everyone and said, "Generals, Lord Wen Luowen's plan must have been known. But what I'm trying to say is that this strategy can be deepened, and that's why I did the Iceberg Camp brothers to do the Weight-Bearing Trial for this strategy. ”
Xiao Yu walked to the sand table and placed two miniature models of giant ballistas on the top of the cliff, and he wanted to rely on this model of the sand table of Fusang City to tell his plan.
