Wei Yan divided the 10,000 horses into two parts, the front part was mainly based on scouts, a total of 2,000 people, the main thing was to explore the appropriate roads and the layout of Zhang Lujun's army along the way, as well as the terrain conditions, and the rear 8,000 people were the main men and horses, slowly moving forward, opening roads in the mountains, building bridges in the water, and opening the way for the rear troops.

After the scouts probed the situation of Dao Ma Mingjian, they immediately reported to Wei Yanyu. Wei Yan ordered the men and horses in the rear to suspend the march, and he personally went to Ma Mingjian to explore the terrain and the enemy's reality.

Ma Ming Stream is formed by the long-term erosion of mountains and rivers from the mountains, the cliffs on both sides are neat like knife cuts, the boulders of various shapes can be described as ingenious, and the beasts and poisonous insects are infested, which is very dangerous. The stream is wide and narrow along the terrain, and the Ma Ming Stream is only ten zhang wide, and the checkpoint is located here. Now the bridge has been demolished and it is impossible to pass through it.

Wei Yan's brows furrowed tightly, and he stood among the barren grass on the south bank and stared closely at the defenders of the Maming Pass on the opposite bank not far away, letting the mountain wind blow the folds of his clothes.

The stream roared at the feet, and the eagles circled overhead, looking for suitable prey. Wei Yan's eyes slowly followed the figure of the mountain eagle and kept fluttering, thinking about how to cross the river and win the pass.

Suddenly, a fierce mountain wind blew, swirling among the rocks, rolling up a fallen leaf on the ground, swaying and drifting towards the opposite bank. An idea suddenly flashed in Wei Yan's mind like lightning: Fly over!

Wei Yan suddenly wanted to laugh loudly, but for fear of startling the defenders on the opposite side, he had to forcibly suppress it, and with a happy face, he turned around and left quickly.

"General, is there a happy event?" A very eye-catching soldier next to him accosted him.

"Ha, haha, hahaha...... Yes, it is indeed a happy event! But don't ask, you'll find out! Wei Yan finally laughed.

The soldier had no choice but to smile and retreat, following behind him.

Back in the rear, Wei Yan selected 500 sturdy sergeants, promised a heavy reward, let each bring ropes, specially trained in rock climbing and mountaineering, and at the same time let those in the army who knew carpenter's skills make a strong crossbow up to one zhang long. After five consecutive days, he personally took 500 people and strong crossbows to Ma Mingjian, and the rear men and horses were temporarily led by Liu Pan, and the rear was slowed down, and the code was agreed upon to prepare for the summoning.

After nightfall, the horses roar and the mountain wind howls, and the wild beasts roar, and it completely becomes a paradise for wild beasts. The defenders on the other side of the pass could not stand the fierce mountain wind, and disappeared, hiding in that corner to keep warm. Wei Yan smiled slightly, and tightened the ghost head knife on his back: "Let's go!" It's time, take the opposite level, and you'll have a lot of bounties! ”

Although the people behind him had a difficult face, the bounty was really attractive, if he got enough money for five years, he was rich and dangerous, and it was worth it, and he finally convinced himself, and followed Wei Yan without fear, and walked to a place he had chosen before.

After the strong crossbow is placed and fixed, dozens of people force a wooden arrow with a thick arm, at the tail end of the wooden arrow, tied with a bowl thick hemp rope, as long as it is fired, the wooden arrow will drive the hemp rope to fly to the opposite bank, after previous tests, the huge force of the strong crossbow is enough to send the hemp rope out of such a long distance. The position of the arrow of the wooden arrow is not an arrowhead, but an iron eagle claw is tied to hook the strange rock on the opposite bank.

"Shoot the Wooden Arrow!" Ready, Wei Yan gave an order, the crossbow was launched, the wooden arrow suddenly broke through the air and flew out, and the hemp rope coiled on the ground was taken up in a circle, across the mountain stream, and flew over, which was very spectacular. Although some noises were unavoidable, the roars of beasts and the loud whistling of the mountain wind from time to time muffled everything. The wooden arrow flew steadily over the horse stream and landed among the rocks on the opposite bank.

Wei Yan pulled it with his own hands, and he felt that the hemp rope was hooked by something when he pulled it back a little, and the smile on Wei Yan's face immediately increased, and this operation was already half successful. For the sake of insurance, Wei Yan asked more than ten people to go up together, pull the hemp rope, and saw that the hemp rope did not move at all, proving that the eagle claw had been fixed, so he was relieved.

"It's time to go, Lao Tzu wants to be the first to go! Hey! Wei Yan lowered his voice and laughed.

The sergeants beside him immediately stepped forward and stopped: "How can the general be in danger?" Let's go, the little ones, the general is here to wait for news! ”

Wei Yan said angrily: "Risking your life? What hasn't Lao Tzu experienced? Besides, if I don't go over, it will depend on how many of your heads are enough to cut off if you do not do well and spoil the lord's affairs? Needless to say, Lao Tzu will definitely pass! ”

The sergeant knew Wei Yan's character and temper, he was bold, had a bad temper, and was stubborn, and he couldn't pull back ten cows for what he decided, so he had to say: "If the general must go over, then he can't be the first to go, and after the little ones go over and fix the rope completely, the general will go over again, if the general doesn't even agree to this, then ...... The little ones had to disobey the order, and they couldn't let the general take risks! ”

"You...... You guys...... To rebel?! Wei Yan was very angry, and he reached out to pull out the saber at his waist, but his heart was very warm, and there was a kind of tears in his eyes.

And the soldiers didn't eat this at all, and surrounded him, just didn't let him, so that Wei Yan's hand holding the sword couldn't be tightened.

"Okay, you go first, Lao Tzu will go over, if it can't be done tonight, see how Lao Tzu cleans you up one by one!" Wei Yan scolded.

But everyone laughed and didn't take it seriously at all: "Don't worry, general, you have to complete the order even if you give up this life!" ”

The first man to stop Wei Yan tied a rope around his waist, hung himself on the rope, and looked back at the hundreds of people behind him: "Brothers, take care, see you on the other side!" ”

Turning his head suddenly, he clinged to the rope with both hands, and slowly crawled towards the opposite bank, gradually disappearing into the darkness. All that's left is the constant shaking of the rope!

Wei Yan was a little nervous, he felt that a long, long time had passed, but he didn't get the agreed signal, and his palms were sweating at some point. Just when everyone was anxious and about to give up, there was a long "cooing" night owl cry in the dark, followed by two more sounds, two consecutive sounds, and everyone was immediately overjoyed, which was the previously agreed code, indicating that everything was normal. If there is a problem, it will be short.

"It's over!" Another sergeant shouted.

In this way, it took all five hundred people two hours to pass, and after resting for a while, they quickly went to the gate.

There was a glimmer of light in the eastern night sky, a sign that the day was about to dawn. The defenders don't know where to hide at this time, who would have thought that there would be enemy troops coming in this place where birds don't, even if someone shouts now, it is estimated that it will be regarded as a prank.....
