Chapter 55: You're a Hero
When the six people climbed, they looked more professional than the people just now, but despite this, no one could climb up, and the last person fell down when he climbed to eighty percent of the height.
The hearts of the generals have cooled, and these cliffs dozens of feet high seem to have become insurmountable mountains.
"Brothers, whoever can climb the cliff first will make a military achievement, and who will want to go up?"
"I'd like to..."
A total of six people responded, one of whom was Wang Dahu.
The five of them looked for a place to climb one after another, but Wang Dahu did not move, and kept observing, not only observing how they climbed, but also carefully observing the various positions of the cliff.
The five who volunteered still failed.
One of them fell when he climbed to ninety percent of the height.
Dozens of people have already died, Wang Dahu is fearless and ready to go.
This is the young man that the general pays special attention to, Han Xin patted Wang Dahu on the shoulder and said, "Good luck." ”
From the first batch of people, Wang Dahu has been very aware that the steep cliffs are a very important reason for the failure of dozens of people, but if the method can be improved, there is a possibility of success.
As long as he is a soldier, there is a possibility of losing his head at any time, no matter what the result is, Wang Dahu will try his best to do it, if he does not succeed, he can only accept his fate.
He walked to what he thought was the best fit and began to climb.
The hearts of thousands of soldiers are sweating for him, so many people have died, I hope he will succeed.
Wang Dahu's climbing speed is not fast, but it is very steady, and he climbs higher and higher.
Thousands of pairs of eyes were focused on him alone, and as he got closer and closer to the edge of the cliff, everyone became more and more nervous, and the nerves were tense, and as long as one person went up, it was equivalent to declaring that he could successfully climb the cliff.
Wang Dahu never looked down, he was calm, sometimes looking in front of him, sometimes looking up, sometimes stopping to observe the situation first, and striving to make every step under his feet and every position grasped by his hands, so as not to slip or collapse.
Finally, Wang Dahu was close to the edge of the cliff, and everyone's hearts were extremely nervous.
On the edge of the cliff at that location, there was a small tree, and at this time, Wang Dahu grabbed the small tree with his right hand, and he successfully climbed the cliff.
By this time, everyone's tense nerves finally began to relax.
Suddenly, the protruding stone that Wang Dahu's left foot was stepping on collapsed, and his left foot was hanging in the air.
The nerves that had just been relaxed tightened again.
Fortunately, Wang Dahu had already grabbed the small tree at this time, otherwise he would have died on the way forward like the dozens of people in front of him.
There was no danger, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Dahu exerted his limbs and wanted to climb the cliff.
Suddenly, the roots of the small tree on the edge of the cliff were loose, and they could not withstand the weight of Wang Dahu.
The thousands of officers and soldiers at the bottom of the cliff became nervous again.
The same is true of Han Shin, who is silently praying in his heart for this brilliant subordinate.
At this critical moment, there was no time for Wang Dahu to think about it, he puffed up and climbed up on all fours.
The roots of the small tree, under the action of Wang Dahu's weight afterburner, finally fell off. At this time, Wang Dahu's upper body had gone up to the cliff.
"Come on ......"
The soldiers below were cheering him up.
succeeded, Wang Dahu finally went up, and everyone finally fell into their hearts, and they were happy, as if they had won a big battle.
Wang Dahu was lying on the edge of the cliff, gasping for air, and the sun was shining on him near sunset. Just now, it can be said that he died nine times, and finally succeeded, and he was enjoying the joy of victory.
"Wang Dahu... Wang Dahu..."
The officers and soldiers at the bottom of the cliff were shouting.
Wang Dahu got up, tied the rope on a big tree, and let it go.
The first to climb up was Han Xin, and after coming up, he slapped Wang Dahu hard.
"Congratulations, you are a hero in the Han army."
Han Xin found another big tree, tied the rope and put it down.
By nightfall, the entire crew had climbed up.
Although it is not far from Chencang in a straight line, it is expected that it will take two or three days to reach the destination in the steep mountains.
After a night of camping, the soldiers continued their march, and on this day another sixty-three people died on the road.

December 17, 206 B.C.
In the evening, the mansion of the guard general in Chen Cang City.
Zhang Zhi and Yao Tong were drinking wine and eating meat.
Yao Daodao: "Liu Bang hasn't attacked the city for several days, it seems that there is nothing to be done about us!" ”
Zhang Zhilian laughed a few times and said, "King Yong's reinforcements should have arrived, and Liu Bang will not be arrogant for long." ”
Indeed, the two reinforcements dispatched by Zhang Han have arrived in Yongcheng, and a total of 20,000 Yongcheng troops have gathered in Yongcheng. But where did Zhang Han dare to attack, he saw the bravery of the Han cavalry, and his younger brother Zhang Feng was killed, so he didn't dare to fight the Han army, so he could only wait for Sima Xin and Dong Peng's reinforcements to arrive before making plans.
Zhang Zhi and Yao Tong were eating and drinking, blowing water, and constantly laughing at Liu Bang and Deng Yulong.
——————
Han army camp.
After dinner, Deng Yulong walked back and forth in the tent, Guan Ying and Han Xin had been off for five days, but there was no news yet, and he was anxious.
From time to time, he wondered if he would encounter difficulties that he couldn't overcome.
As they set off for a longer time, the more Deng Yulong thought about it, and the anxiety in his heart became more and more intense.
The right people have been dispatched, and everything that should be explained has been explained, and the rest is up to them, and it is useless to think too much.
The truth is so, but in ancient times, there was no Internet, no television, and a lack of ways to pass the time.
"Come here, play with me!" The attendants were called in by Deng Yulong.
"General, how do you play?" The squire paused. In normal times, he was conscientious, and the general didn't say much to him in the sky and in the ground.
"I have invented a chess game called backgammon in the past few days, and you will teach you first."
Deng Yulong brought out the backgammon that he often played when he was a child, and explained the characteristics of the chess game and the rules of chess to the attendants in detail, which was a way to pass the time, so that Deng Yulong temporarily forgot about the war.
To the south of Chencang, there are also mountains here, but not as high and steep as the mountains to the west of Chencang.
A group of Han troops hid in the mountains, sometimes observing the mountains outside the west gate of Chencang.
This was specially sent by Deng Yulong, if Guan Ying and Han Xin successfully crossed the mountain, they would shake the torch on the mountain to send a message, and when the people here found out, they would immediately return to the camp to report.
As for the west city wall of Chencang, although it was built on a hill, the opposite hill was higher than the city tower, and as long as the people on duty did not deliberately look up at that side, it was almost impossible to be found. Of course, there are no absolutes, it's just that the probability of being discovered is very low.
This group of Han sergeants was stationed here, and it was already the third night.
