"The subordinates do have two plans, which may make it difficult for Jing people to move an inch." Meng Tian's question quickly quieted down in the shogunate, and a group of strategists discussed in a low voice for a long time, and finally discussed two solutions.

"What's the plan?" Meng Tian leaned over and asked urgently.

"First, our army can hit it with a boulder and smash the Jing people rushing the car." Meng Jue said. "Second, our army can ......" Meng Heng said at the key point, walked up to Meng Tian and whispered a few words, Meng Tian couldn't believe it when he heard it. "Is that really so?" he asked. ”

"Yes." Meng Heng nodded heavily, "But this can only be done once." ”

The Ba people occupy the peaks on both sides of the col, and the mountain becomes steeper the closer you get to the pass. The slope of the mountain, which is just over a mile long, is 400 meters above sea level and has an elevation angle of more than 45 degrees. Such a slope is not easy to climb, not to mention attacking. The suggestion of the Great Sima Mansion to attack the trench was not without reason, no matter whether the Qin people were killed by rolling stones or crossbow arrows, only the trench could be resisted.

It's just that it is attacked with a trench, and it is not easy to dig a trench that can be used for carriages and horses to pass, and the trench can shield the attack of the Qin people, so when the trench is dug, the Qin people will not attack? If the Qin people threw stones and arrows, digging trenches would inevitably turn into digging tunnels. Digging trenches is fast, digging tunnels is slow, and although there is no need to worry about landslides in the tunnels for three or four miles, the time will definitely be very long.

Ephesus asked the horses to pull and cover the artillery wagons and soldiers with rushing carts, which could also cover the rolling stone arrows on both sides, and the speed was faster—in addition to the reason for pulling out the loose pass and attacking the pass as soon as possible, the other reason was that the autumn rain was coming soon. When the autumn rains come, the valley will be cloudy and misty, and the roads will become very muddy. At that time, if the old road had not been attacked, the 250-mile mountain road north of Nanzheng City and the shore of Baoshui might not be able to support the logistics of the army.

Lu Chan didn't sleep all night, and the bloody armor was always on his body. He regretted that he had not bombarded the first corner to a certain extent and sent messengers to make the Palestinians retreat, and insisted on fighting them to the death.

The battle was won, and the corner was grabbed, but unfortunately the time was delayed. The battle, which could have been attacked in one day, dragged on for a day, giving the enemy time to deal with it. He personally kept vigil, because he was worried that the enemy would launch a night attack at night, but there was no movement except for listening to the cry of apes and owls all night.

As the day dawned, the temperature cooled and the hoarfrost fell. Lu Chan was so cold that he couldn't stand it and gritted his teeth, and the dark night in front of him that couldn't be dissolved suddenly dissolved. After a while, the noisy birdsong resounded everywhere in the mountain forest, and the gray-black night turned into a thin mist, and the whole col was shrouded in a haze.

"Your Majesty, if you say it, you must be on guard against the Ba people falling rocks today...... a servant came from the camp to pray, and he stood in front of Lu Chan to speak. Before Lu Chan could finish listening, he pulled out the short sword in his hand and stabbed at him suddenly. The lord stabbed himself with a sword, and the servants were immediately stunned, but the sword body just grazed his armor and stabbed behind him, and the screams protruded in his ears, and a man behind him who was about to slash with an axe fell after being hit by the sword, and the warm blood splashed on the back of his ear.

"Why so careless?" Lu Chan put away his sword and moved his arms and waist.

"Villain, villain......" The servant was speechless, sweating like rain. Thinking of the Naba people, he followed behind him, if he hadn't just found the lord, he might have been chopped by him with an axe.

"Raise your shield and form a formation." Lu Chan didn't listen to his explanation, and the armor soldiers beside him had already raised their shields to form a formation to resist the Ba people who were attacking in the fog. After the sentry post, the drums in the ring camp were already beating, and all the sleeping soldiers woke up, and there were shouts of killing all around. But seeing that the Chu people were heavily guarded, the shouting and killing sound quickly disappeared, and after shooting a few crossbow arrows, the Ba people completely disappeared into the dense fog.

"Thirty-six people died...... When the sky was bright, Zhang Han, the brigade commander, came to tell him, and Lu Chan was having breakfast at this time. With yellow corn, large chunks of canned horse meat were stuffed into his mouth. The number of dead did not surprise him, more than a hundred armor soldiers had already been killed in the battle yesterday.

"When will the artillery be towed?" Lu Chan swallowed the rice meat in his mouth and asked.

"The Fur Horse is already making a fire." Zhang Han relayed the report of the workers. The boiler must be heated first, which takes about half an hour. Half an hour before the sky was bright.

"How is the false king?" Lu Qian asked about Lu Gao again, he was swept on the head by the broken silk rope, but fortunately it was only the upper edge. The head was knocked off the spot, and when he was lifted from the ground, he told the doctor that his ears were roaring and his head was splitting.

"It's still the first thing to do." Zhang Han subconsciously shook his head. The fake gentleman was injured in order to save the girl, which is a very stupid thing in the eyes of everyone, and some people even say that the fake gentleman is faint. Of course, if a Chu girl is saved by the fake king, even if this Chu girl is just a concubine, public opinion will be different. People will only say that the false king not only has a benevolent heart, but also has extraordinary courage.

Lu Qian didn't care about everyone's discussions, he knew that he couldn't do without Lu Gao's advice. "Let him recuperate for the time being." He instructed, and then continued his meal. When he had finished his meal, he heard the shouts of the servants again. The thick rope dragged over, circled half a circle on the pulley, and hurriedly pulled it back. After a few more moments, the ground shook beneath his feet, and the first car slowly made its way up the uneven mountain road to a corner a mile away.

The sun has come out and the fog is gradually dissipating. On both sides of the hoarfrost-covered col stood countless Ba people, and once again they saw that the rushing carts in the col did not use horses, and moved strangely forward. Standing on the highest peak on the left side of the mountain col, Meng Tian and the others also saw the rushing car moving forward. At this time, the fog is completely dispersed, and when you look down from a high place, you can see it at a distance of more than 1,000 meters without a land mirror.

The long, narrow rush was held by a thick rope and moved at a normal walking pace. The trail is not smooth, but the drive up the road is effortless. Following the thick rope, Meng Tian saw the Fu Yao horse behind the rushing car, which was hidden in the huge rushing car like the artillery, and he couldn't see the appearance at all. On the mountains where there was no killing, there was an inexplicable, never-before-heard sound of 'ho-ho-ho'.

'Boom——! The fire flashed, and the cannon rang out. The Ba people on both sides of the col were prying the boulders on the hillside, and the Chu soldiers saw it and hurriedly opened fire to stop it. Although the shells did not hit the Pakistanis, they frightened them into taking shelter in all directions.

Seeing this, the chieftain who was standing higher waved the axe and shield in his hand, as if to warn and curse. The Ba people, who had been dodging, ran back and pry the boulder again. The sound of the cannon was more intense, but the boulder had been pried and swayed, and before the other artillery bombarded, it trembled and rolled down.

With a drop of hundreds of meters, the speed of the boulder rolling to the col is already speeding, 'boom——! The boulder did not hit the rushing car, but it caused a shaking that was more violent than the shelling, and Meng Tian at the top of the mountain also felt a slight tremor under his feet.

"It's a pity I didn't hit!" Beside him was the voice of Meng Jue. The rush car is no more than three feet long, the speed at which the boulder rolls down cannot be controlled, and it is really difficult to concentrate such a small target at a distance of several hundred meters.

The first boulder missed, the second boulder also missed, at this time the Chu artillery had already adjusted, where the car was, the artillery bombarded what position, the Ba people on both sides of the col began to brave the shells to forcibly push the boulder down the mountain, as the artillery fire became more and more dense, after being hit several times in a row, these people finally dispersed.

So under Meng Tian's nose, large and small artillery and the Fuyao horses in the rushing car took three hours to drag them to the corner occupied by the Chu army yesterday. As soon as this corner is passed, the col is facing the mountain pass. Thinking that those huge witch weapons were facing the mountain pass, Meng Tian was very uneasy in his heart.

The only thing that could reassure him a little was that the Chu army could only go to this corner, and the witch weapon could not be dragged forward. Thinking like this, Hou Zhengzao's hand suddenly pointed straight down the mountain. Standing on the top of the mountain, the corner where the Chu army was located was located in the southeast of the top of the mountain, but Hou Zhengzao was pointing in the direction due east, that is, somewhere below the mountain pass.

Looking over the trees on the mountainside, Meng Tian saw the figures of some Jing soldiers. They ran to the pass, and when they reached a distance of about two hundred paces, they stopped with their shields. There are crossbows at the mountain pass, and there are various giant crossbows in addition to the crossbows. Two hundred steps is an inconvenient distance to shoot, and the crossbow can't shoot the enemy at this distance, although the giant crossbow can be shot, but using the giant crossbow to shoot a dozen or dozens of Jing soldiers will not only expose the position of the giant crossbow, but also can't kill a few Jing people.

The Jing people who rushed forward stayed under the mountain pass for a short time and then quickly retreated. Meng Tian, who was watching them, breathed a sigh of relief, but unfortunately Meng Heng and the others hadn't thought of a word of comfort for him, and the cronies of the general of the guard stationed at the mountain pass rushed over, "General Yu, the Jing people are dragging the witch weapon to the mountain pass, wanting to attack me." ”

"Huh?!" Meng Tian was shocked. Looking down the hill again, I saw a corner of the rushing car, and just like just now, the rushing car was walking at a walking speed. The Jing people beat the drums, and the drums shook through the mountains and forests.

"How do the Jing people ......" Lieutenant's general Qi Brown was also on the top of the mountain, what he couldn't understand the most was that the Chu army did not capture any place under the mountain pass, how could they drag the heavy witch weapon to the mountain pass, this section of the mountain road is the most rugged, could it be that the car is full of strong men, they are pushing the cart up the mountain?

He was puzzled, and the others didn't understand it for a while. After half a ring, one of the strategists coughed heavily and said, "General Yu, the thing used by the Jing people is probably a ring rope." ”

"Lihuanso?" Extremely unfamiliar name, no one knows a thing or two.

The strategist continued: "When the Jing people dragged the witch weapon, they set up a wheel in front of them, and set a sharp ring rope on the rope, and then dragged it. ”

The pre-Qin period did not have a pulley of later generations, but there was something similar: a sharp ring rope was made on an object that could be rotated, such as a sharp ring rope on a roller, and then the situation of the Chu army towing artillery at this time could be realized. Therefore, the advisor said: "At the end of the rope is where the reel is, and if it can be destroyed, the ring rope will also be destroyed." ”
