That place is called Wuyundu, which is an extremely famous ferry port on the Yunluo River in the local area, and has always been known for its danger.

Speaking of this Wuyundu, it is a famous military pass in their Chuxi County, and that place is the only way for Chuxi County to reach the southwest barbarian region, and it has always been guarded by heavy troops.

Wuyundu crosses the Yunluo River, is the only ferry port on the local Yunluo River, known as the natural danger since ancient times.

The most special thing is that this Wuyundu is not the kind of pontoon bridge that is common on other big rivers, and it is not the huge stone pier arch bridge across the water as everyone thinks now.

You know, in ancient times, ordinary small rivers may be able to easily build those stone pier arch bridges across the water, but to build arch bridges on those real big rivers, it is really an absolute fantasy.

Therefore, in a general sense, the great rivers in ancient times were at best just some relatively simple pontoon bridges in some places with stable terrain and peaceful water flow, relying on the favorable terrain of the locality.

Even so, just like the previous Yangxutou ferry, if there is a special flood period, it will only be in vain.

Because everyone can imagine that even those modern bridges made of reinforced concrete in the current sense are still in danger of collapsing in the face of catastrophic floods.

Not to mention, those in ancient times were just simple pontoon bridges paved with some "iron boats" and connected by some iron chains.

However, the Wuyundu side is completely different, it is a rare suspended chain bridge, the end is like a dragon across the most precipitous river surface of the Yunluo River.

The chain bridge of Wuyundu is composed of three parts: the bridge body, the abutment and the bridgehead.

The bridge body is composed of a number of parallel iron chains with thick bowl mouths, the bridge railing is directly erected by iron chains, the bottom side by side iron chains are paved with wooden planks to form the bridge deck, and the handrails and bottom chains are connected with small iron chains, and each iron chain is interlocked.

The horizontal bridge slabs of Wuyundu are paved at intervals, like window lattices, which can not only reduce the weight of the bridge, but also reduce the resistance of the wind; The handrail chain and the bottom chain are connected every few meters, so that the bridge body forms a harmonious and unified whole.

Wuyundu is more than 100 meters long and more than 3 meters wide; There are more than 10 iron chains on the whole bridge, several iron chains on both sides of the bridge railing, and more than 10 iron chains on the bridge deck; Each chain is made up of thousands of interlocking iron rings.

The abutments of Wuyundu are located at both ends of the bridge body, and the iron piles are fixed in the abutments, and the iron chains are fixed in the iron piles of the abutments on both sides.

The Qiaotou Castle on both sides of the Wuyundu Bridgehead is an ancient wooden structure building of the local indigenous people, with a unique style; There is a bridge pavilion built on the anchor iron chain falling into the well, and the eaves are warped and angled, simple and generous.

Not only that, the bridgehead castle at both ends of this Wuyundu is also directly connected to the military camps on both sides, and the abutments at both ends that are tens of meters high have directly become the arrow towers of the soldiers on both sides, and there are a certain number of soldiers on duty all year round.

As for when the Wuyundu chain bridge was built, and by whom, it has long been impossible to verify.

It is said that there were two huge stone monuments near the bridgehead at both ends of Wuyundu, which is said to record the history of the original construction of Wuyundu.

However, the two steles have long been destroyed in the bloody rain of the past, and now there are only two dilapidated stele pedestals left, and the others have long ceased to exist.

In this way, how and when the chain bridge was built has become a mystery, as if it has existed here since ancient times.

As a result, there are all kinds of magical legends in the local area, such as the "divine manpower" who showed great power and appeared overnight on the bridge of God.

The book implicitly says: In fact, the construction of this so-called chain bridge is actually the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients, and it is not really done by some so-called "god man".

Generally speaking, after the iron cable and corresponding accessories required for the bridge are ready, the thick bamboo rope is tied to both sides of the river, and after each bamboo cable is threaded with a plurality of short bamboo tubes, the iron chain is tied to the bamboo tube, and finally the rope that has been tied to the bamboo tube is pulled from the opposite bank to complete the iron cable transportation.

After the iron cable crosses the river, people use large stones on both sides to build a solid bridgehead, and then dig deep wells in the bridgeheads at both ends, and cast transverse woon piles and longitudinal dragon piles with pig iron at the bottom of the well; Finally, all the iron chains are connected to the dragon pile, and the wooden planks are laid on the bottom iron chains to form the bridge deck, and the iron chains are interlocked with each other to form a bridge.

Of course, this simple interlude about the Wuyundu Chain Bridge is just to better express the thrill and magic of the Wuyundu at that time.

You must know that in the era of cold weapons at that time, a chain bridge like Wuyundu can really be called a natural hazard.

Let's put it this way, even if the other party easily captured the bridgehead camp at one end as soon as they came up, but if they want to successfully rush from this chain bridge to the other side, I'm afraid this is really unimaginable.

At that time, the defenders of Wuyundu only need to remove all the solid planks that were originally laid on the horizontal cables under the chain bridge, and then the entire chain bridge will only be left with more than ten bare iron cables, which can be barely relied on.

However, the chain bridge of Wuyundu is at least 100 meters long, and with the extensions on both sides, the whole distance is two or three hundred meters.

What's more, this chain bridge is erected in the air on the river surface at a height of tens of meters, or even hundreds of meters, and the cliffs on both sides are needless to say, and the water is turbulent and the mountain breeze is swift below.

Even when the sky is beautiful, when the general pedestrian passes, it is just a few people and dozens of people walking together, which still requires great courage and guts, and ordinary people generally dare not cross the bridge easily.

What's more, it is said that the natives in this neighborhood have become accustomed to it, but those who have come from afar are really hopeful and intimidating, and they stop there.

Of course, this so-called natural danger is naturally not a big deal for Song Jie, the king of Qin, and Sun Hao, the general of Qin, and these soldiers and generals who are accustomed to battle.

Therefore, after hearing this, Song Jie, the king of Qin, still decided to continue his army, preparing to go to Pudadun Ferry, cross the river from there, and then take Wuyundu, still detouring back to the most convenient official road earlier.

Since they insist on this, the others will naturally not be much better, anyway, if they turn back again, at least they will have to travel three hundred miles more, which will definitely be more time-consuming and laborious.

Besides, now that everyone has an army of more than 10,000 people, plus there is a standing battalion of garrisons on the side of Wuyundu, and it is on their own territory in Chuxi County, what do you have to worry about.

In this way, after a little preparation of the army, everyone continued to advance along the south bank of the Yangtze River lightly, and rushed to the Pudadun ferry in front of them in one breath.

Sure enough, the situation here is really completely different, and even the sky on this side has not been cloudy at all, let alone any heavy rain.

Seeing this, Song Jie, the king of Qin, didn't even let the army have a good rest at all, but simply replenished some necessary food and drinking water, and immediately crossed the Pudadun ferry, which was finally a smooth crossing.

After the army crossed the river, it took less than half a day to arrive at Yunxi Town in front.

Speaking of this Yunxi Town, it didn't have a big name in itself, but it was just on the west bank of the Yunluo River in front of it, so it was called Yunxi Town.

However, there is an old wine workshop in this Yunxi town known as "the first place in the world", and the "Yunshui Shenjiu" produced in it is known as "the first wine in the world".

In particular, in that year, the former Donghai Dynasty's famous "No. 1 fierce general in the world", a pillar of Optimus Yanfei Long, is said to have been drunk because of the overdrinking of this "Yunshui Divine Brew", and finally defeated under the joint efforts of Zhao Jin and Huyan Shouping, and was defeated and died.

It is said that as soon as Song Jie, the king of Qin, heard that there was this Yunxi Town in front of him, he immediately said happily to the general Sun Yushuo next to him: "I said General Sun, we haven't had a good rest for nearly a whole day, why don't we camp outside Yunxi Town in front of us for the time being, let everyone rest for a night, and then continue to move forward early tomorrow morning?" ”

Hearing him say this, the general Sun Yu hurriedly pulled off the war horse in his crotch, and said loudly: "The subordinates are all in accordance with the orders of the prince, since the prince said so, then I will send someone to give the order, and the army will temporarily find a suitable place to camp in front." ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly continued: "Lord Wang, otherwise, I will let people inform the officials here now, and let them quickly clean up their official offices, so that you can stay and rest well......

Song Jie, the king of Qin, said: "Forget it, let's not disturb the local officials, the great army will rest outside this town for one night." ”

Sun Yu said: "Okay, since that's the case, then I will personally go to the front to give the order." Even though you cherish the people here and really don't want to disturb the people, but even so, we have arrived in this famous Yunxi Town, and their most famous 'Yunshui Divine Brew' can't be missed no matter what, hehehe. ”

Hearing him say this, the master Bo Lu Zhaoming, who had just caught up, suddenly said loudly: "This is natural, since we have arrived in Yunxi Town today, the famous 'Yunshui Divine Brew' must not be missed." ”
