Chapter 227: Crossing the Canyon

Looking at the canyon in front of them, everyone was a little worried.

Even if the unloading of the mountain is powerful, it is impossible to build a bridge out of thin air.

At this time, Yu Xuan, who was born in the Montenegrin Army, said, "When I fought before, I was forced into a trap and encountered a similar situation. At that time, our whole army was in a desperate situation of life and death, but there was no such powerful ladder. ”

"I remember that between the two canyons, there was a broken wooden bridge, and the middle of the wooden bridge was broken and it was impossible to pass normally. In desperation, a man who often walks in the mountains and is as light as a swallow stands up. ”

He tied the two trunks together so that he could reach the broken bridge on the opposite side. Then a man carried a light rope on his back and walked the single-plank bridge to the opposite side. The heavy rope was pulled over with a light rope, and finally a bridge was made, saving everyone. ”

"This person is Zhang Feiyan, that is, the current leader of the Montenegrin Army, the general of the Ping Difficulty, Zhang Yan. I don't know if there is such a capable person in the Unloading Ridge Department? ”

Shen Long listened, thought for a while, and said, "There are dozens of heroes who are as light as a swallow, but it is estimated that there are no ones who can walk the splicing single-plank bridge." ”

However, Shen Long showed a smile on his face and said, "But I just listened to your method, and I feel that I can gather my experts to discuss, and it is estimated that there will be a way in half an hour." ”

Shenlong summoned more than 50 experts from the Discharge Ridge Department, and after conveying the basic direction, he asked everyone to come up with a method of operation in a unit of five people.

Sure enough, there are many ways for grassroots soldiers to do so.

Some people have suggested that it is most feasible to use centipedes to hang mountain ladders, with a few solid tree trunks, to build them on the opposite side, send people to take the "single-plank bridge" to pull ropes over, and then build a temporary bridge, and then let the engineers officially build a bridge with a wooden and stone structure.

It was also suggested that you could throw javelins and iron claws, which are commonly used in the mountains, tie ropes to them, and climb over one person first, and then build a bridge according to the above method.

These measures are all feasible to a certain extent, but they cannot be implemented alone. For example, the two sides are about fifty paces apart, and it is difficult to throw them with an iron grasp or a javelin with a solid rope.

However, Shin Ryong was very good at brainstorming, and he combined the methods proposed by everyone, and after refining them slightly, he began to try.

A man with slender and powerful hands and feet stepped forward with less than two hundred pounds. Nicknamed "Channeling Mountain Monkey", he is a good hand at unloading the mountain and fighting backwards, and has repeatedly performed dangerous tasks such as climbing cliffs and swinging ropes.

He first climbed the centipede hanging ladder, which was made up of a piece of ladder, and there were dozens of steps behind it on the cliff, and everyone pressed it behind.

Normally, if it is a distance of twenty paces, it is enough to carry a person with a light rope.

It is now a distance of fifty paces, and if the ladder is really built for such a long time, it is estimated that by thirty steps, the ladder will sag sharply, and even break in the middle.

When the others walked to a distance of more than 20 steps, the ladder drooped. At this time, if you are an ordinary person, I am afraid that you will no longer be able to stand.

But the "Channeling Mountain Monkey" is a senior hero in the Jieling Department, he is bold and careful, and his feet are steady and powerful. He stood at the end of the inclined ladder and threw an object at the opposite side with all his might.

"Da"

The thing hit the opposite stone wall and didn't catch it. He had to retract it little by little along the rope.

Shen Long saw it from behind and shouted, "Monkey, don't waste time, safety first." You just throw another one. ”

It turned out that it was the Iron Claw that he had just thrown. In addition to centipedes hanging ladders, iron claws and javelins are also standard when the unloading department is engaged in inverted buckets.

However, the conditions under which they are used when crossing the ravine are also slightly different. If the opposite mountain is a loess structure, then use a javelin and strive to penetrate deeply.

But on the opposite side of this is granite, and the javelin will not be able to penetrate it. Therefore, it is necessary to use iron claws that are good at grasping stones, and once you can grasp the protruding hard stone on the opposite side, you can swing it directly.

Unfortunately, the first blow was unsuccessful, so he withdrew the rope again, intending to throw it a second time.

But the ladder under his feet was extremely dangerous, so Shen Long told him not to take the risk of retracting the first iron claw, but to simply use the second one.

Of course, the "Mountain Monkey" understood Shen Long's intentions, and he felt a burst of warmth in his heart, and steadily threw a second iron claw.

"Da, Ka"

Caught it!

The iron claws grasped the stone wall steadily, and the rope behind it was just right to perform the movement of swinging.

The "Mountain Monkey" took a deep breath, grabbed the rope and jumped with all his might, flying towards the stone wall.

However, this is not the most dangerous time, as the height of the person gradually decreases, the speed also increases, and when approaching the stone wall, it is very likely that it will not be able to control it, and after the impact, it will fall into a deep valley.

Just five steps away from the stone wall, the "mountain monkey" actually let go of the rope.

"Ahh Xue Xia couldn't help but scream when he saw it, but before he could see what was going on, he heard "Okay!" from beside him. "It's done!" cheers.

It turned out that he let go of the rope just enough to grasp the stone wall and the protruding trees, and he had already seen the area where the landing would slow down, and then he landed skillfully and climbed the mountain quickly.

After a stick of incense, the "mountain monkey" had already climbed the opposite cliff and used the thin rope on his body to pull the thick rope towards him.

Shen Long, Yu Poison and the others knew that the general trend had been decided, and they all smiled. However, Xue Xia, when he saw the "Mountain Monkey" performing a stunt, in order to be light, he only wore single clothes, and quickly asked the soldiers to tie the cold coat to the rope and pull it over.

The "mountain monkey" saw that in front of the iron chain and wood on the other side, he handed him the cold coat first, and was moved to tears.

Shen Long and Yu Poison also had great respect for Xue Xia's behavior just now.

In this era, the scholars mostly regarded groups other than themselves as villains. This villain is not, although it is the kind of scolding words of later generations, but it also contains hierarchical contempt.

However, Xue Xia was willing to contact the villain in the eyes of the scholars during this time, and just now he was concerned about the soldiers, so he handed over the winter coat as soon as possible.

Such a scholar is definitely a wonder, but a wonder who is respected by the "villains".

In fact, Xue Xia was bullied by Tianshui Jiang, Yan, Zhao and other big clans, and he was already very disgusted with the set in the small circle of the scholar clan.

After he came into contact with the large circle of people in the Xinxi Liangjun and the Four Seas Merchant Gang, it was like discovering a new continent, and his life became more interesting, and he could show his ambitions.

The actions in these days come from these changes, and they have also made subtle changes in the middle and lower echelons of the Xinxi Liang Army about the scholars.

In the future, the military instructors and counselors in the Dreadnought Army often took Zhang Ji, Wei Qi, Su Ze, Xue Xia and others as examples, so that the soldiers should respect and learn from such scholars. At the same time, they also praised them for representing a progressive and friendly scholar clan, which was diametrically opposed to Wang Yun, Yang, Yuan, etc.
