Li Yanzhi tried to throw it several times, and threw the hook tied to the lasso onto a platform halfway up the cliff, and there was a boulder on the narrow platform. Li Yanzhi visually detected that the hook had hooked the boulder, and he pulled it hard, but the hook at the end of the lasso did not move at all. After confirming that it was safe, Li Yanzhi held the lasso with both hands, and wanted to climb up.

He was pulling the rope with one hand, and was about to use his hands and feet at the same time, but he thought of something, and hurriedly took out the bamboo whistle hanging on his chest and blew it. When the soldiers behind him heard the whistle, they gathered one after another. Li Yanzhi dragged the lasso a few times with his right hand, looked back at the generals and began to explain patiently.

"To climb the cliff, you must first tie the lasso to the hook." Li Yanzhi said as he took the lasso and hook in Zhou Xing's hand beside him, and started the demonstration first. He looped the lasso around the ring at the end of the hook and put it into a slipknot. and pulled it tight, and then motioned to the nearby generals to come forward to take a closer look, and instructed them to take charge of the corporal in the church later.

"After the bolt is secured, pull it a few times vigorously to test the firmness." Li Yanzhi said as he struggled to pull the rope and hook a few times, thinking that it was a demonstration. Then he coiled the lasso at his feet, ready to demonstrate the next step, threw the hook and fixed it near the left side of the cliff.

He took a deep breath, and then saw that there were boulders on the cliff that could be used as a fixed point, and finally, after selecting a tree that grew obliquely on the cliff, Li Yanzhi ran a few steps, turned the hook a few times, and then threw it towards the tree on the cliff. The hook staggered towards the tree, but lost its strength halfway and fell.

Li Yanzhi picked up the hook, and said in a loud voice: "It doesn't matter if it is not fixed once, you can try a few more times, and be sure to make the hook firmly hook the mountain rock or tree trunk." With that, he turned the hook and threw it again against the rock.

This time, the hook flew over the trunk, and then fell, impartial, and firmly hooked the trunk, Li Yanzhi struggled to pull a few times, and saw that the hook was firm and did not move, so he turned around and said: "After hooking the fix, you need to carefully pull it a few times to confirm that it will not be unhooked, and then climb." ”

After saying that, Li Yanzhi let go of the hook that hooked the trunk of the tree, and turned back to the lasso where he had just hooked the boulder. He grabbed the lasso, then walked to the foot of the mountain, pulled the rope again with all his might, and made sure that it was okay, and then pulled the noose back step by step with his hands, and at the same time, his feet also climbed the cliff section, and began to climb upwards step by step.

The generals below were already dumbfounded. Although some of them had known that some of them could climb the cliff with their bare hands with ropes and hooks, this was the first time they had seen it with their own eyes. And what shocked them even more was that this mountain climber with his bare hands was the main general in his army!

When Li Yanzhi climbed to half the height, the soldiers below saw the main general hanging alone on the cliff section, and they all gasped. When they saw that Jesus was going to do such things, they felt so dangerous that they could hardly imagine how dangerous it would be if they did it themselves.

Li Yanzhi climbed halfway, and he already felt that he was overwhelmed. However, the current situation of not being up or down prompted him to continue to climb upward. Wherever there were protruding stones or dead wood branches growing horizontally on the edge of the cliff, he used them as a point of strength, so that it was still more than a quarter of an hour before he climbed up to the platform where the boulder that hooked the hook was located.

Li Yanzhi climbed onto the earth platform with his hands and feet, and then gasped for breath and rested for a while, and the cheers of many soldiers were already heard under the cliff. They never imagined that what seemed to them an insurmountable cliff could be climbed in such a way. All of them were excited. Thunderous cheers echoed through the cliffs, lasting for a long time.

Li Yanzhi got up, shook the iron armor on his body, and then looked at his subordinates under the cliff, waved his hand, and went to the side of the boulder, and after a long time, took out the hook hooked next to the boulder, and then used both hands to cut off the lasso under the cliff and put it on the narrow platform one by one.

After the cheers under the cliff gradually disappeared, Li Yanzhi held a lasso and a hook again, and began to continue to attack the remaining cliff about half a foot high. He threw the hook several times, only to hook something above, and after pulling hard several times, the hook suddenly fell off, and by the way, he also brought down a stone the size of a human head. The stone landed on the edge of the platform, then tumbled and slammed downward.

Li Yanzhi was shocked by this sudden situation and broke out in a cold sweat, but then quickly calmed down, he continued to shake the lasso in his hand, and threw the hook up the cliff again and again, in order to find a stable support point.

I don't know how many times I threw the hook, but when Li Yanzhi pulled the rope again, the rope suddenly tightened. Fearing that the last situation would happen again, he continued to tug hard several times, but this time, it did not fall off as suddenly as before.

After confirming that it was safe, Li Yanzhi continued to pull the rope, using his hands and feet together, and climbed towards the top of the cliff. When the soldiers under the cliff saw Li Yanzhi who was already hanging in the air, they couldn't help but sweat. However, in the end, after waiting for only a quarter of an hour or so, Li Yanzhi finally climbed to the top of the cliff. Panting, he stood still on the top of the cliff, then waved his hand at the many men below.

Seeing that Li Yanzhi successfully climbed the cliff, the generals in the army who were good at trying moved their minds. They each recalled the action of Li Yanzhi tying the hook with a lasso before, and then tried it themselves. After a while, ropes of different styles were attached to their respective hooks.

These generals have pulled the hook and lasso a few times by themselves, and after making sure that it is stable, they have selected the fixed point one after another, and they are about to start throwing the hook to climb. Seeing this, Li Yanzhi, who was on the cliff, hurriedly waved his hand and said something to stop him.

Seeing that Li Yanzhi stopped him, the generals under the cliff stopped their movements one after another. Li Yanzhi ran to the lasso he climbed up, pulled it up, tied a slipknot rope at the end, then measured the length, took off the hook, and then hooked it to the trunk of a tree in the distance.

Li Yanzhi took the rope noose to the edge of the cliff and threw it off the cliff, and it was Wang Cheng under the cliff. Wang Cheng hesitated as he looked at the rope sleeve thrown by Li Yanzhi swaying in place. And Li Yanzhi was already impatiently shouting at Wang Cheng: "Get in!" Tie the noose around your waist and pull tight! ”

Li Yanzhi repeated it twice, and Wang Cheng, who understood his meaning, got into the rope sleeve, and then tightened it around his waist. Li Yanzhi shouted loudly again: "Now, throw your own hook rope and climb!" ”

Wang Cheng did as he said, took out the hook he had just fastened, and threw it several times according to the action demonstrated by Li Yanzhi, until he firmly hooked a small tree on the mountainside, and then began to climb up with his hands and feet.

Wang Cheng was guarding grain in Longxi before, and used a chariot formation to attack the Hun cavalry, and this scene had already formed a deep-rooted impression in Li Yanzhi's heart. Without any battle formation or professor, Wang Cheng was able to think of this with his own brain, which also made Li Yanzhi believe that this person has a bright future in the future, and since the auxiliary soldiers joined the army, he also attaches great importance to Wang Cheng.

And Wang Cheng climbed the cliff in a similar way, which made Li Yanzhi look at him even more. He himself knew to look for the protruding rocks and branches on the cliff as support points. Halfway through the climb, take a break, and then continue climbing. Under the gaze of hundreds of Jianrui battalion soldiers below, in less than two quarters of an hour, Wang Cheng also climbed to his first borrowing point.

Wang Cheng stepped on the rocks on the cliff with one foot, and with the other foot on a branch that grew horizontally, rested for a while, and then took off the hook he had hooked on the branch and continued to throw it upward. Wang Cheng's hook crossed the top of the cliff and fell straight down. Witnessing the free fall of the hook, Li Yanzhi yelled: "Okay, don't pull, I'll help you hook it!" ”

After that, Li Yanzhi picked up the hook, ran to the side of the boulder, pulled the hook into the crack of the boulder, and pulled it several times to confirm that it had been fixed, before poking his head out and saying to Wang Cheng, who was still hanging in the air: "Okay, come up!" ”

Wang Cheng did as he said, pulled the rope a few times, and then continued to use his hands and feet together to climb. Li Yanzhi poked his head out of the cliff and watched Wang Cheng's actions carefully, half an hour later, Wang Cheng also climbed to the top of the cliff, and then let go of the rope, grabbed the top of the cliff with both hands, and the whole person had successfully climbed!

Li Yanzhi strode towards Wang Cheng, stretched out his hand to pull him up, and then patted Wang Cheng's shoulder approvingly to show encouragement. Wang Cheng smiled and said: "The long history of this method is wonderful!" ”

Li Yanzhi was noncommittal, but said to Wang Cheng: "The soldiers trained by this method may be taken by surprise, but after all, they are dangerous. Do not move lightly unless absolutely necessary. ”

Wang Cheng nodded: "The long history teaches, and the subordinates keep it in mind." After that, he watched Li Yanzhi untie the rope on his body, continue to put it into a slipknot, and then measure the length, and then throw it off the cliff, Wang Cheng also took another rope and walked in the same way. In the blink of an eye, two ropes tied into slipknots swayed under the cliff again.

This time it was Zhou Xing and Wei Xu who tried. Li Yanzhi and Wang Cheng poked their heads out of the cliff together, closely watching the movements of the two of them. Xu is not as smart as Wang Cheng, these two people are in the process of climbing, and they have repeatedly had problems. But fortunately, Li Yanzhi has pulled the rope into a slipknot and acted as a safety rope, and the two of them are fine.

After several failures, the two finally climbed to the top of the cliff. By this time, it was already dark. The generals under the cliff have already ordered the soldiers to light the torches to illuminate them. Zhou Xing smiled bitterly and walked to Li Yanzhi's side, arched his hand and said: "Changshi, his subordinates are not effective, and he has failed to set an example, and I hope that Changshi will be punished." ”

Since he was wounded in the battle of Lingju last time, Zhou Xing's physical condition has deteriorated. Of the several knives in his body, one stabbed through the shoulder socket between his shoulder armor and his body armor, and the other stabbed through the side of the rib. I don't know if it hurt the ligaments and organs, anyway, now Zhou Xing is brave, and it is far worse than it was at the beginning.

Li Yanzhi sighed and patted Zhou Xing on the shoulder: "General Zhou Bairen, you were also a person who escaped death by ordering yourself to live before, and between us and us, you are no longer just superiors and subordinates. is also a robe brother who has lived and died together. You were seriously injured in the past. Now he can still practice with the team, and as the main general, Li can no longer ask for more. ”

Li Yanzhi thought for a moment, paused and said: "Zhou Bairen will be in poor health, and he is really no longer suitable for leading troops on the front line. I also hope that Zhou Bairen will plan for himself, and don't refuse Li's invitation ......"

When Zhou Xing heard what Li Yanzhi said, his face was entangled, and he immediately replied: "My subordinates are grateful for the long history of Guan Chui, but Zhou is a martial artist, except for leading troops, he is really incompetent for the rest...... I hope Sima will consider it. ”

Li Yanzhi looked at the sky, turned his head and said: "It's getting late, Zhou Bairen will wait for me to write to the king, and then make a decision." I'll be back today. Come here again tomorrow, and make sure that all the generals of the army master this method of climbing the cliff......"

After that, Li Yanzhi brushed the lasso in his hand, tied the end of the slipknot to his waist, and took the lead in climbing down the cliff. Immediately afterwards, Wang Cheng and the others did the same. After a while, they returned to the bottom of the cliff.

After going off the cliff, Wang Chengcai yelled badly. Li Yanzhi asked the reason, Wang Cheng stretched out his hand and pointed to several ropes that were still hanging from the edge of the cliff and said, "Now that we have gone down the cliff, how can these ropes be recovered?" ”

Li Yanzhi laughed and said: "I knew that I couldn't take it back, so I left one person on the edge of the cliff, and there was only one rope left." Now that they have all descended from the cliff, they will leave it here. When we come back tomorrow, we can climb directly to the top, won't it be troublesome? ”

After that, Li Yanzhi ordered the generals to return to their respective camps, and then brought the whole team back. When the lieutenant generals saw these generals climbing the cliff with their bare hands, they were all envious. On the way, there were occasional exchanges of discussions, but they gradually fell silent under the cheers of the generals.

The armies entered the city through the west gate, and then returned to their respective camps under the leadership of their generals. And Li Yanzhi and Wang Cheng led their soldiers to the outside of the camp, but they saw Li Liang, who was anxious and still waiting outside the camp.

Li Yanzhi walked up to Li Liang and asked, "Craftsman Li, why are you waiting here?" ”

Li Liang smiled bitterly: "Long history, you can wait here for a while......

Li Yanzhi immediately cried and laughed: "This time I led the army to practice, and I hope the craftsman will forgive me for the neglect......

Li Liang waved his hand again and again: "Changshi, there is a matter of humbleness, it is between difficulties, and I hope that Changshi will give you guidance......"

Li Liang explained the crossbow machine now, as well as the problem that crossbow is difficult to manufacture, to Li Yanzhi in detail. Li Yanzhi listened and listened, and immediately frowned. After listening to Li Liang's lecture on the problems he encountered, Li Yanzhi fell into deep contemplation.

Looking at Li Yanzhi thinking hard, Li Liang didn't dare to interrupt. I don't know how long it took, Li Yanzhifang raised his head and asked, "Regarding the crossbow machine, first make a pair of iron samples, try them out, and then decide whether to make them with iron." But this bow ......."

Li Yanzhi looked up at Li Liang: "Now in the arsenal, how much is left?" ”

Li Liang spread his hands: "Your Majesty has gone to the arsenal to check and count, and now there are only five hundred and thirty-five bows in the arsenal, and most of them can't break through the iron armor with their pulling force......"

"Alright, use all these weapons and bows as crossbows. Later, I will ask the treasurer of the camp to transfer these bows to the workshop, and ask Craftsman Li to take the trouble to check them......"

He paused: "Now the matter of making crossbows, there is a lot of trouble for the craftsman of Lao Li......"
