Chapter 49: Climbing the Plow

Early in the morning, Guo Qi was woken up by the neighing of horses.

After getting up, Guo Qi couldn't help but shiver, the climate in the mountains was too cold, much colder than Yongcheng; After putting on his coat, Guo Qi walked out of the room; I saw a group of people setting up a carriage, but this carriage was a little strange and had no wheels.

"Come here." Guo Qi beckoned to a man.

"What are you guys working on?"

"Lord Wang, this is a climbing plow, and it is best to walk on snow or ice." The man said.

"Climb the plow, how can you walk without wheels?"

"This villain can't tell, anyway, walking in the snow is much faster than a carriage."

"Yes! Who made this climbing plow? Have you used it before? ”

"Yes, this is what our village owner made."

"Your village master Cheng Yong! and bring him to the king. ”

"No! I'll go now. ”

Soon Cheng Yong was found, and when Cheng Yong came, Guo Qi was watching around the plow! The climbing plough built by Chengjiazhai is similar to a horse-drawn carriage, except that there are no wheels; In contact with the ground are two smooth wooden poles, the front end of which is raised high, and can be replaced at any time if necessary, and the wheels become a horse-drawn carriage.

"My lord, you are looking for a lowly position." Cheng Yong saluted Guo Qi respectfully.

"You did this plow? How did you come up with the idea to do this? ”

"My lord, last winter, on the way back from a trip with a few brothers, I encountered heavy snowfall, and the wheels of the carriage broke down halfway, but we unloaded the wheels and prepared to drag the things on the car back little by little, but I didn't expect that after there were no wheels, we ran faster, and then the blacksmith of our village carried out the transformation and made the current climbing plow." Cheng Yong explained.

"Hmmm! Not bad, very good. Guo Qi nodded and said: "But whether it is really as fast as you say, you have to try it to know, if it is really like what you said, this king will fulfill yesterday's promise." ”

"Humble and thank the lord." Cheng Yong said happily.

There are not only 37 climbing plows in Chengjiazhai, and it is not a problem to sit on each climbing plow with three or four people, so that the horses can all be liberated, and the horses can be tied directly behind the climbing plow, and the speed of the march will be much faster; After all the plows were harnessed to the horses, Guo Qi and the others simply ate something and set off; However, before leaving, Guo Qi left the two wolf cubs behind and handed them over to a special person to take care of them.

"Driving, driving, driving......"

Between the ravines of the mountains, a procession of climbing plows was galloping, and because the speed was so fast, the cold wind swept through the cheeks like knives; Halfway through the walk, the warm sun was obscured again, and light snow fell in the sky again.

"Driving...... Hoo, hoo, hoo ......"

Guo Qi, who was driving the plow, suddenly tightened the reins of the horse, and the originally galloping plow began to slow down.

After slowing down, Guo Qi asked Cheng Yong, "There is Erlong Mountain in front of you, right?" Why don't you see anyone? ”

"Lord Yu, there is Erlong Mountain in front of you; Although Erlong Mountain is the place where the Green Forest League will meet, there are usually no people, and the owners of the 36 villages are still in their respective cottages. ”

"Hoo, hoo, hoo......" Guo Qi stopped the climbing plow at the foot of Erlong Mountain, looked at the surrounding terrain and said: "This place is very difficult!" It can be attacked, retreated and defended, it is an excellent place to garrison troops! Cheng Yong: Is there a water source on Erlong Mountain? ”

"My lord, on the back mountain of Erlong Mountain, there are many large and small springs, and the spring water is sweet and delicious, but it is the best quality of winemaking!"

"You know the wine." Guo Qi smiled and knocked Cheng Yong; "Do it well, go; Driving, driving, driving......"

Not long after Erlong Mountain, Guo Qi and his group came to Chenjia Mountain, due to the heavy snow sealing the mountain, there was no one outside Chenjia Mountain, everyone went to the mountain to spend the winter, there was not even a sentry under the mountain, it was better to Chengjiazhai!

"This king really doesn't know how this mountain wind survived to this day, and he didn't even send a spy at the foot of the mountain, so he wasn't afraid of being served a pot?" Guo Qi shook his head and said.

"Lord, the terrain of Chenjiashan is dangerous, even if the enemy hits the front of the walled gate, he can't attack it; Besides, who will attack the cottage in this snowy mountain! Cheng Yong said disappreciably.

"Fifth son, you take a few brothers with good skills to touch it quietly, go and open the gate of the village, remember not to hurt people's lives." Guo Qi ordered.

"No! Commanded by humility. Li Wu ordered.

"Lord, can I go?" Cheng Yong asked Guo Qi.

"If you want to go, go for it! Don't kill you! ”

"Humble duty understands."

Li Wu and Cheng Yong selected thirty brothers with good skills, and quietly touched the Cheng family cottage, they did not choose to take the front mountain road, but from the mountains and forests on both sides of the detour, the road was surprisingly smooth, and soon touched the Chen family cottage under the wall.

The walled wall is not very high, only about two zhang, but it is made of bluestone, which shows that in order to build this cottage at that time, it did not spend less manpower, material resources and financial resources; Chen's cottage is indeed easy to attack and difficult to defend, but now it is not like this, and there is not even a sentry on the wall of the cottage.

Li Wu and the others took out the flying claws from their bodies, threw them on the city, and climbed up step by step along the rope; Li Wu carefully observed and found that there was no one around at all, so he went down and opened the gate of the wall, and all the people outside were let in.

Then the thirty men began to move about in small groups of five, and without knowing it, they took down all the sentries in the stockade; At this time, Guo Qi is leading a large group of people up the mountain! However, because Chenjiashan is too steep, the climbing plow cannot come up, so Guo Qi and others can only put the climbing plow and horses at the bottom of the mountain, and then hike up the mountain.

After Guo Qi's brigade arrived, they acted quickly under the leadership of their respective commanders and occupied the entire cottage as quickly as possible, and Guo Qi came to the Zhongyi Hall located at the core of the cottage; Guo Qi is very strange, and I don't know why this mountain bandit likes the word 'loyalty'.

As soon as he entered the Zhongyi Hall, Guo Qi saw a mess on the long table in the lobby, empty wine jars everywhere, and the smell was very unpleasant; Guo Qi walked directly to the main seat located directly above the lobby and sat down, pointed to the table below, and several guards immediately began to clean up, and it was quickly cleaned up.

"Go and see if there's anything to eat, this king is hungry."

"No! Let's go. A chief replied.

Soon I found something to eat for Guo Qi, there was a roast chicken and two sauce elbows, and they were still steaming when they were served! Guo Qi, who hadn't eaten much for a day, was so hungry that he just took the whole roast chicken and ate it!

"Lord, look at who I have arrested for you." Before Cheng Yong entered the lobby, a loud voice came in.

Guo Qi didn't know the person who came, but he saw that the five flowers were tied up, and Cheng Yong kept him in front of Guo Qi with his hand, and Guo Qi only cared about eating roast chicken by himself, and didn't even take care of him; Then Li Wu also escorted another person in, this person Guo Qi knew, it was Chen Feng, who had been to Yongcheng with Jia Shen before.
