Chapter 961: Consent

Chen Jin said: "If you can create a thick iron nail that can be driven into the crack of the rock, when the first soldier climbs to a certain height, first drive the thick iron nail into the rock crevice, and then tie one end of the rope to himself, and the other end to the thick iron nail nailed into the rock crevice, for safety reasons, you can nail a few more thick iron nails." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoWhen he tied another bundle of rope to the thick iron nail that was nailed into the crack of the rock and lowered the rope, the soldiers below could climb up through this rope, and when they climbed to the same position as him, they gave him a bundle of rope, he took the new rope and continued to climb up, and when he reached another height, he continued to nail in the crack of the rock, and tied the rope that was originally tied to himself to the new iron nail, and the people below could climb up with this rope, it was like a relay race, and every soldier who climbed had to carry a bundle of rope, Until the rope is passed to the first soldier! ”

"This requires three requirements: first, the first soldier to climb must have a very high climbing ability, be agile and react quickly; Second, the rope should be strong enough; Thirdly, the general iron nail cannot be driven into the crack of the rock, it will bend when beating, and the iron nail we need must have a strong ability to drill through! ”

"It's a great way to do it!" Zhang Ben's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he thought for a while and said: "Since the tenacity of ordinary iron nails is not enough, then we will let the blacksmiths of the siege camp specially use steel to make steel nails for us!" ”

Chen Jin said again: "General, my subordinates have specially looked at the cliff, only the second half of the cliff has no slope, the first half still has a relatively inclined slope, as long as we climb to the upper half safely, the remaining half is much easier, and the second half of the cliff is not without a thing, the subordinates found that there are thirteen trees of different thicknesses growing on the cliff, about thirty-five zhang to forty zhang, and they are arranged horizontally, The first soldier to climb can shoot the rope with the iron hook with a crossbow bolt as long as he climbs a certain distance, and the iron hook hooks the trunk of the tree, so it is not very difficult to climb this cliff! ”

"There is no endless road, hahaha・・・・・・" Zhang Ben was overjoyed and said: "Look, look, as long as we are willing to observe and use our brains, we can think of a way!" The order was sent down to prepare a set of climbing equipment for all the soldiers, and everyone should not wear armor or anything except weapons, because it was too heavy to climb. In addition, each person needs to prepare a repeating crossbow, a dagger, five arrow magazines, and a bundle of ropes! From now on, I need the correct height number from the river to the top of the cliff, and I'll find it for General Ben right away! Thirteen of the most capable climbers from the whole army will be the first of our people to climb the cliffs, and send them to the siege camp to tell them that we need thick steel nails made of steel, and that the nails must have buckles on them・・・・・・"

After an afternoon of discussion, the Huya Army finally had a set of mature tactical ideas to infiltrate the Jinding Pass, and after dark, Zhang Ben immediately came to the Chinese army's big tent after dinner to report to Zhao Ziliang.

At this time, Zhao Ziliang was holding his arms and looking at the map, this is the map of all Tibet, of course, his vision will not be limited by a small golden dome pass. However, for the time being, breaking through the golden top pass is the premise for the next step of the strategy.

Because the land of Tibet is vast and sparsely populated, the towns are scarce, and the Tubo people live in scattered places, even if there are only tens of thousands of people in the cities of Tubo now, and the most densely populated places in other places are only the size of a small town, which has advantages and disadvantages compared to the Western Qin army, the advantage is that it is more difficult for the Tubo people to gather a large army to fight against the Western Qin army, and the disadvantage is that the Western Qin army needs to spend more energy and manpower to rule the occupied places, and it becomes difficult to manage because of the sparse population. However, for the time being, the two places along the Yalu River are the most densely populated by the Tibetan people, and this river is the mother river for the Tibetan people, and the vast majority of the Tibetan people are conceived by this river. Therefore, fighting along both sides of the Yalu River is the fastest way to solve the military strength of Tibet.

"Your Majesty, General Zhang Ben, the commander of the Huya Army, is asking to see you outside the tent!" A small school walked into the big tent and clenched his fist to report.

"Let him in!" Zhao Ziliang looked at the map and said.

"Yes!"

Zhang Ben walked in and clasped his fists and saluted: "Weichen greets the king!" ”

Zhao Ziliang touched his chin and thought, turned around and walked behind the desk, sat down and looked at Zhang Ben and asked, "No courtesy!" Zhang Ben, why did you come to see this king like this? ”

Zhang Ben said: "King, Wei Chen convened the generals under his command to discuss for a day, we think that if we want to Jindingguan, we can only sneak in from both sides, and it is basically impossible to sneak in from the front, and it is difficult to detour from other places, it takes a long time, and it is difficult to cover up the whereabouts, if the whereabouts are discovered by the Tubo people, it will not work to sneak in secretly!" Diving from the cliff on the left and under the ravine on the right is difficult, but it's not impossible to overcome! After discussion, for the sake of insurance, the ministers decided to divide the Huya Army into two parts, one part climbed from the cliff; Climb all the way down the mountain stream on the right! ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "The cliff on the left side of the river, this king goes to see, the difficulty of climbing is indeed very great, if you don't make a mistake or fall down after exhaustion, I am afraid that there are no bones, and the danger is extremely high." How do you overcome the difficulty of climbing too steep and climbing too high? ”

Zhang Ben immediately walked to the map and stretched out his finger on the plan of the cliff side, and said: "King, please see, we first find a dozen soldiers with the strongest climbing ability, they stop every ten zhang of the distance they climb, and then make a big hole in the cliff wall, and use special steel nails to top the cliff wall, this first batch of soldiers carried iron hammers, a large number of special steel nails and two bundles of tough ropes more than ten zhang long, after they nailed the first steel nail, they first tied one end of the rope to the steel nail, and the other end to their body, so that Even if he slips on the next climb, he won't fall to his death, unless the steel nail is not secure! Three steel nails are driven in each time to make sure they're strong enough to make sure they don't fall off loose! ”

The remaining bundle of rope was also hung on one of the steel spikes and thrown down, which would allow the soldiers below to be tied to themselves and protect them as they climbed. When the first batch of soldiers ran out of ropes, they had to stop and rest, and wait for the soldiers below to climb up and give them ropes, each time sending two bundles, therefore, each soldier must carry Liang Kun ropes before starting to climb, so that the ropes are passed upwards in turn, and the first batch of soldiers who climb receive new ropes after one end is tied to the steel nails, and the other end is tied to themselves before they begin to continue to climb upward! This is like a relay, and this has the added benefit that everyone can stop and rest in the middle of the way, and reinforce the steel nails at every point! ”

"Look, my lord, there are thirteen great trees growing in the cross-section of the lower part of the cliff at a distance of thirty-five to forty zhang, and these great trees can grow on the cliff face, and they are so thick and oppressed by the wind and snow all the year round, and their roots must be very deep, so that they should be strong enough, as long as the first soldiers climb to a distance of ten zhang from them, they can shoot them with crossbow arrows and tie the rope to the top and wrap around the trunk, which is good for climbing, and tie the rope to the root of the trunk. The soldiers will be able to pull the ropes and climb! ”

"In addition, the king looks at the upper half of this cliff, it is made of some slopes, although its slope will not be lower than seventy degrees, but it should still be eighty degrees, as long as there is a slope, our soldiers will be much easier in the process of climbing!"

Zhao Ziliang smiled after listening to Zhang Ben's explanation, and said: "This method you have come up with is good, which can not only protect the safety of the soldiers to the greatest extent, but also allow them to rest and accumulate physical strength in the process of climbing." It's just that the steel nail must be able to drive into the rock, at least into the crack of the rock! ”

Zhang Ben said: "Yes, so Weichen ordered the king to allocate a special steel block to build this kind of steel nail in logistics, and all the buckles on the equipment used by the soldiers to climb should be replaced with buckles made of this special steel block, so that it is safe!" ”

Zhao Ziliang agreed: "Okay, if you go to Zheng San, just say that this king agrees!" ”

"King Xie!"

Zhao Ziliang asked again: "So how to climb from the right side of the mountain stream?" I heard that the mountain stream is covered with moss, and there are thorns and shrubs everywhere, and there is no road at all, and some places are even at an inverted angle, with a height of more than ten zhang, which is not good for climbing! ”

Zhang Ben said: "King, we have thought about this problem, we decided to send an advance team to open up a road, the king gave us six days, Weichen thinks that these times should be enough for us to send someone to open a road!" Although the mountain stream is covered with moss, spikes and thorns, there are trees everywhere, we can use these trees and ropes to climb, as long as there is a point of focus, the climb can be carried out, the only thing worth worrying about is that we need to cut down trees when opening up the road, which may cause movement, but we will ask the advance team members to avoid the trees that are too dense, and only cut down some thorns and spikes to reduce the sound! ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and agreed: "Okay! This king will order a frontal offensive to attract the attention of the Tibetan army to the front, and create conditions and opportunities for you to sneak in! ”

Zhang Ben saluted: "Thank you, King!" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked, "Do you have any other requirements?" ”

"King, there are no requirements for the ministers, marching and fighting are the duty of our generation of soldiers, even if it is dangerous, we must go!"

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while, and shouted outside: "Come on, send a message to Zheng San, and ask him to send a batch of meat and wine to the Huya Army!" ”

After shouting, he said to Zhang Ben: "Let the soldiers eat and drink enough, recuperate in the past few days, you feel that everything is ready, you can start on your own, you don't have to wait for the deadline to pass before acting!" ”

"Yes, King!"
