Of course, Fang Yuan would not listen to Liu Gen's words and hastily convene a military meeting, but summoned Najib, who was good at crossing mountains and mountains, and acting in mountainous areas.

He ordered Najib to send a few people with their hands and feet and nimble minds to go down to the bottom of the deep stream first, and then go upstream, to explore the terrain and whether there was a possibility of a surprise attack on the pass.

A day later, the She people who went to explore the terrain returned to the barracks to report, what Liu Gen said was indeed the truth, this mountain stream can go up to the mountain range, the mountain road between the third and fourth passes of Xianxia Pass.

Fang Yuan was overjoyed to receive accurate terrain information, so he called a military meeting of all the generals to discuss the plan for this surprise attack.

All the generals gathered together, and Fang Yuan said to Najib, the leader of the She people, "Commander Najib, you can talk to the generals about whether you can go against the current and attack the third pass." ”

Najib said, "We She people can go down to the bottom of the stream, and then cut down trees and bamboos to lay a simple path at the bottom of the stream. After crossing, the mountain range is at least thirty or forty zhang high, and the slope is very steep, except for the mountain people who live in the mountains all year round, others must build the climbing rattan in advance if they want to climb. ”

This difficulty was actually within Fang Yuan's expectations, if there was no difficulty, everyone would break through the Xianxia Pass from the bottom of the stream, what else would they attack? The experienced Zhou Quanbin will also guard against it strictly, and will not give the Xuanjia Army any chance to raid at all.

It is precisely because climbing from the bottom of the stream is something that ordinary people can't do, that Zhou Quanbin will neglect to take precautions, so that the Xuanjia Army can take advantage of it.

Fang Yuan asked again, "Commander Gan, you are most familiar with the combat power of the Zheng army, how many people does this surprise attack team need to cut off the mutual aid of the Zheng army between the third and fourth levels in one fell swoop?" ”

Gan Hui knew the battle power of the Zheng army and the Xuanjia army, and came out and said, "Governor Fang, if the number of this surprise attack team is too small, it will be attacked by the Zheng army between the two passes, and it will be more than lucky. In order to ensure that the connection between the Zheng army was severed, the number of surprise raiders should be at least 3,000. ”

He voiced his worries again, "The biggest difficulty in the surprise attack is that the hour is too late. This mountain stream is where the water source of Xianxia Pass is located, and Zheng Jun has to come and go every day at dawn and dusk to fetch water and make food, and there are sentry posts to watch. If we want to break through the unwitting breakthrough surveillance and cross the deep stream, we must do so after nightfall. ”

"That is to say, from nightfall to dawn on the second day, there are only four hours, and my three thousand soldiers will march hastily across the bottom of the stream for one or twenty miles, and then climb from the bottom of the stream to the top of the mountain."

Fang Yuan nodded silently, with Zhou Quanbin's old way, Zheng Jun's surveillance must be strict. It is easy to go up a few or dozens of people in a short period of time, but it is difficult to go up to hundreds or thousands. Three thousand sergeants had to cross the bottom of the stream and climb the mountain in four hours, which was indeed a great challenge.

Fang Yuan asked Najib again, "How many rattans can you build at one time?" ”

Najib said, "Ten, but, one rattan can't withstand two people, only one person at a time." To transport 3,000 people to the mountain, it will take at least 300 round-trips, and it will inevitably be detected by Zheng Jun. ”

Fang Yuan silently calculated, it would take at least ten minutes to climb one person safely, only sixty people could be climbed in an hour, and it would take two days to transport three thousand people. How could Zheng Jun, who came and went, not notice it? Unless everyone is blind!

If you want to sneak attack at night, there are only four hours. It would take an hour and a half to deduct one or twenty miles of marching at the bottom of the stream, and the time left for the 3,000 Xuanjia troops to go up the ridge must not exceed five hours. Converted to each rattan, it must bear the weight of ten people at a time.

Ten people is close to 1,500 catties, this weight is obviously beyond the capacity of the rattan, if the rattan breaks, the lives of the ten sergeants will be lost.

Fang Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, laughed and got up and said, "Rattan is naturally not good, I have a kind of immortal rope, which can be used by at least ten people at a time." ”

Najib lives in the mountains all year round, and has never seen a rattan that can withstand ten people unless it is more than ten rattan tied together. Ordinary hemp rope, also up to one person.

Fang Yuan bought ten nylon mountaineering ropes from Taobao, and two of them were combined into one piece, so that Gan Hui, who had infinite strength, tried the pulling force first.

The ordinary two rattans, Gan Hui was pulled and broken, but unexpectedly, this time he exhausted the strength to eat milk, and he also continued to pull the rope that he had never seen before.

Gan Hui blushed and returned the nylon rope to Fang Yuan, "Governor Fang, this rope is really an immortal rope, I can't do it." ”

Fang Yuan laughed and said, "If you can't succeed alone, immediately select twenty strong people in the barracks to give it a try!" If the rope can be broken, one person will be rewarded with five taels of silver. ”

Bear twenty people at the same time?

Gan Hui and the others were dumbfounded, they would never believe that this thin and small rope could withstand the pull of twenty people, in the eyes of everyone, Fang Yuan was giving silver.

Of course, if it can really withstand the pull of twenty people, it is undoubtedly an immortal rope.

Gan Hui immediately found twenty burly men in the barracks, divided them into groups of ten, and began to have a tug-of-war competition, and promised in public that if they could break the rope, each of them would be rewarded with five taels of silver.

Five taels of silver is already a month's salary for the Xuanjia sergeant, and he can pay an extra month's salary for no reason, and the twenty strong men are full of strength, and they have used all their strength to eat milk.

The two sides pulled hard for nearly a quarter of an hour, and the twenty strong men were exhausted, slumped to the ground and gasped, but the nylon rope was still unharmed.

At this time, everyone was completely shocked, the fiber rope used to pull the fiber may be able to achieve such a large pulling force, but this rope is so thin, thirty or forty zhang long, and the weight of four or five catties in the hand is much lighter than the thick and large fiber rope.

This rope, in the eyes of everyone, is a fairy rope, and they are all amazed.

FANG YUAN IS SECRETLY FUNNY, THE NYLON ROPE FOR MOUNTAINEERING, THE TENSILE FORCE OF 8MM IS 1,500 KILOGRAMS, WHICH CAN BEAR THE WEIGHT OF AT LEAST TEN PEOPLE AT THE SAME TIME. A 10MM NYLON ROPE CAN WITHSTAND A TENSILE FORCE OF AT LEAST 3,000 KILOGRAMS, WHICH IS NOT WHAT TWENTY PEOPLE CAN PULL OFF.

Of course, everyone tossed hard for two quarters of an hour, although they did not break the nylon rope, but they tested the pull of the rope, which was indeed genuine, and also confirmed that this surprise attack was indeed feasible.

Fang Yuan still rewarded each strong man with two taels of silver to reward everyone.

He smiled at the generals and said, "If there are ten people at a time, it will only take two or three hours and one night to complete the delivery mission of this surprise attack." ”

The generals are completely convinced of his endless new gadgets, and since there is such a strong fairy rope, all problems can be solved.

Gan Hui arched his hand and said, "Governor Fang, I am willing to be the commander of the surprise attack team!" ”

Gan Hui is the vanguard general of the attack on Fujian this time, and he personally participated in this kind of surprise attack with unknown victory or defeat, if there are three long and two short, it will be a big loss, and it will affect the morale of the army.

Fang Yuan hesitated and said, "Commander Gan, you are my right-hand man, and you are responsible for the success or failure of this attack on Fujian, so you don't have to take risks yourself." ”

Gan Hui half-knelt on the ground and asked Fang Yuan to fight again, "Governor Fang, I have a blood feud with Zhou Quanbin, I can't help but revenge, I will personally cut off Zheng Jun's retreat, slash this person, please Governor Fang!" ”

Fang Yuan saw that his expression was resolute and his desire to fight was very serious, so he agreed, "Okay! The 3,000 sergeants who participated in the surprise attack were all equipped with blast armor. ”

Due to the high cost of explosion-proof armor, the entire Xuanjia Army only has 12,000 sets of explosion-proof armor, which is dexterous and has more defensive power than ironclad armor, and not everyone can equip it. Explosion-proof equipment is an important strategic armament, which is managed and distributed in the army, and can only be distributed by non-commissioned officers who perform special tasks.

Fang Yuan only brought 8,000 sets of explosion-proof protective gear with the army on this expedition to Fujian. This time, 3,000 sets of explosion-proof protective gear were used to fully arm the surprise attack team, and we must succeed in the battle!
