Just like Ge Luofeng's barbarian sentry watching, after breakfast, Wang Yuan ordered people to start building wooden platoons. Song Jiangong and Li Mi didn't know what Wang Yuan was going to do, and reminded Wang Yuan that it was impossible for the wooden platoon to let 10,000 soldiers and horses cross the river, Wang Yuan only smiled and asked them to calm down, and after dark, there must be a way for Song Jiangong to cross the river smoothly with 15,000 soldiers and horses.

Song Jiangong was too lazy to talk, and went to the camp to select soldiers and horses to equip them with the required equipment and weapons, as well as food and water that could guarantee two days. In the afternoon, when things were arranged, Song Jiangong ordered all of them to sleep to recharge their energy for the night river crossing. Although I don't know what kind of trick Vice Marshal Wang has to cross the river, no matter what, tonight will definitely be a sleepless night. Crossing the river is difficult, and crossing the river is even more difficult.

On the beach of the Lushui River, there are not thousands or hundreds of wooden rafts, but only a dozen huge wooden rafts across the murky river. In order to ensure that the wooden rafts could cross the river, Wang Yuan had to build these huge wooden rafts to ensure their stability and firmness.

After the sky was dark, it was pitch black above and below the cliff, Wang Yuan forbade lighting torches, and ordered more than a dozen wooden rows to cross the river in black. There were only a dozen people on each wooden raft, and under the cover of night, they rowed to the opposite bank with difficulty in the sound of the river. The Lushui River, which is dozens of zhang wide, is raging and rushing, and the wooden rafts float diagonally from the top to the opposite side of the bottom at an extremely slow speed. With the force of the current and the force of the slight brace, he walked a long diagonal line, four or five miles upstream, and reached the opposite bank on a wide river beach beneath a steep cliff.

More than a dozen wooden rafts have also withstood the test of the current, but the more than 100 soldiers on it have suffered a lot, and it is more than 100 soldiers with excellent water quality led by Tan Ping, and they all have a thin rope around their waists. After getting off the wooden raft, the thin ropes began to be pulled, slowly pulling the dozens of thick hemp ropes on the north bank to the opposite side. After the ropes on the north bank were fixed on the top of the cliff, the ropes were slowly rotated and tightened by the winch on the opposite river beach.

All this was carried out quietly in the dark, and the difficulty can be imagined, when the last rope was tightened, Wang Yuan, who had been paying attention to the whole process on the north shore, also breathed a sigh of relief, and his body was sweating profusely.

But the real test had just begun, and Song Jiangong, who had been waiting for the anxious Song Jiangong, to ask for orders several times, and now, Wang Yuan could finally order his 15,000 soldiers and horses to move slowly to the cliff. When Song Jiangong came to the cliff and saw the dozens of ropes that led straight down into the darkness under Wang Yuan's guidance, he was stunned.

"Lieutenant Marshal, what is this going to do?"

"Didn't you say you were going to fly over? That's how to get your men flying over. These thick ropes were fastened to the opposite river beach, and all the soldiers and horses slid down the ropes with incredible speed. If nothing goes wrong, you, the fifteen thousand, will be on the other side before dawn. Wang Yuan said in a low voice.

Song Jiangong was frightened, this method was really unexpected to him, it was indeed a good way, but it was also very dangerous.

"Isn't falling in mid-air a dead end? And this rope is so tilted, the more slippery it is, the faster it will be, don't you want to shoot to death on the opposite cliff wall when you get to the opposite side? ”

"Don't worry about it, this is a bamboo basket hanging on it, and people can just sit in it and not fall down. The second thing is not to worry, there will be a rope hanging on the bamboo basket, and someone here will control the speed, and when they slide to the opposite bank, they will pull the bamboo basket vigorously to slow down and put it down, and then pull the bamboo basket back so that the people behind can continue to cross the river. We did a test just now, and we sent fifty-eight brothers safely at one time, so you can rest assured. ”

Song Jiangong nodded secretly, Vice Marshal Wang's idea was wild, if he had told himself this idea before, he would definitely think that he was unreliable. But when the zipline is really in front of you, you have to believe that these things are not fanciful, but achievable.

Time was pressing, and there was no need to hesitate, for if we did not cross the river at night, we would be harassed by the brutes who would ambush them on the other side at dawn. So the 58 ziplines immediately began to run, and the soldiers climbed into the bamboo baskets in fear, and the next moment they crossed the surging river with a width of dozens of zhang like a cloud, and arrived at the opposite river beach at a fast and slow speed, and 58 people at a time, about 70 or 80 breaths of time can be completed in a delivery, and more than 80 times of nearly 4,000 people can be delivered in an hour. The cycle went on and on, until when it was dark, 15,000 soldiers arrived on the other side.

There have been many accidents, at least hundreds of soldiers crashed into the opposite cliff because they couldn't slow down, and died instantly. There were also more than a dozen bamboo baskets that were deformed by being pulled back and forth and disintegrated in the air, and more than a dozen soldiers who were inside fell into the rolling torrent. Near dawn, three ropes were worn out and broken, and the three soldiers who were gliding fell along with the bamboo baskets, leaving no bones left.

But these accidents were obviously nothing, and the 15,000 soldiers and horses all arrived on the opposite bank before dawn and successfully occupied the big mountain bag on the cliff wall on the opposite bank. The timing was just right. This is actually the result of Wang Yuan's calculations. Wang Yuan also wanted to send more soldiers to the opposite side, but he could only send 15,000 soldiers over in one night. It was almost impossible to openly cross the river in this way in broad daylight, and the soldiers and horses of the Nanzhao would use the soldiers on the river beach as live targets above the cliffs on the opposite bank.

……

When the news of Jiannanjun's smuggling across the river at night arrived at Ge Luofeng's big tent in the forest, Ge Luofeng was practicing marksmanship with the spear in his hand in the early morning mist. After receiving the report, Ge Luofeng was taken aback, and his first reaction was that this was absolutely impossible.

But when he hurried to the edge of the hillside, looked at the cliff wall on the river bank from the lookout point set up at the top of the tall trees, and saw the countless Tang soldiers on the mountain on the cliff wall under the early morning fog, he had to believe that this was the truth. It is really incredible that the Jiannan Army smuggled so many soldiers over last night, and what kind of means were used. Then, under the guidance of a general, Ge Luofeng found the answer.

Dozens of long ropes loomed across both sides of the Lushui River, and hundreds of Tang soldiers were moving the long ropes from the bottom of the cliff wall up to the back of the mountain bag that the Tang Army intended to defend. Dozens of people are using winches to tighten ropes and fasten them to boulders and thick trees.

Ge Luofeng instantly understood Tang Jun's intention, this was to build a cableway trestle bridge. And he had to forcibly build a rope bridge under his nose, and forcibly crossed the Lushui River, and he didn't take himself seriously.

"General Abao, give the order, all the soldiers and horses are ready to attack. The Tang army came just in time, and there were about 10,000 soldiers and horses on the mountain, which was exactly the number we could swallow. It seems that Tang Jun has calculated to give us a big gift. ”

Half an hour later, the four horns broke the tranquility of the mountain forest, and the forest birds in the dense forests on the slopes on both sides were frightened and rushed to the sky, fleeing into the distance in dense numbers. At the same time, dense Nanzhao barbarian soldiers also poured out from the edge of the woods, and the strange screams of 'oh Luoluo' in their mouths instantly filled the valley road on the south bank.

On the big mountain bag on the cliff wall, Song Jiangong, who was directing the soldiers and horses to dig gravel along the three sides of the mountain bag, immediately ordered to enter the battle state, and all the soldiers were nervous, and the arrows and crossbows on their bows were ready to fight. But when tens of thousands of barbarians rushed to the meadow in the valley below the mountain pack, they suddenly stopped, and hundreds of people gathered in a circle to light a bonfire and began to dance strangely with their teeth and claws, singing strange tunes in their mouths.

This is the pre-battle sacrificial ritual of Ge Luofeng, and before each battle, Ge Luofeng has to pray for victory in this way and cheer up his barbarian soldiers. This time the sacrifice time was very short, Ge Luofeng obviously did not want to spend more time on this, after the tea, a white horse was pulled to Ge Luofeng's side, Ge Luofeng clenched a long knife with both hands and shouted, cutting off the horse's head.

As the horse's head hit the ground, the blood rushed out, and the horse's corpse hit the ground with a bang. Ge Luofeng picked up the mallet and began to beat the drum, the sound of the drums made the blood of the barbarians boil, they stood up, opened their mouths and screamed strangely, the sound shook the mountains and fields.

"Kill them all." Ge Luofeng pointed his drumstick at the top of the mountain bag, and all the barbarians swarmed up and stormed up the slope of the big mountain bag occupied by the Tang army.

"Don't be afraid, these barbarians don't even have armor, they all have straw curtains hanging on their buttocks, we can shoot them through with one arrow, this is the moment when our Jiannan Army washes away the shame of the Battle of Lushui, brothers, whether it is a hero or a bad seed depends on today." Song Jiangong shouted loudly at the top of his throat.

The bowstrings of the Tang soldiers were drawn, and the crossbow arrows were aimed at the barbarians who were swarming up from the hillsides on three sides. When the barbarians entered the firing range, Song Jiangong roared angrily, and ten thousand arrows suddenly shot at the top of the mountain bag, and the arrows covered the slopes on three sides like dark clouds, and suddenly there was a wailing sound on the hillside. After a rain of arrows, hundreds of barbarians became hedgehogs full of arrows, and thousands of people were hit by arrows and rolled down the hillside in the rocky grass.
