Chapter 917: A bridge flying north and south
readx;
Han Yong, Xia Xue, and Qiu Ping stood on top of the lonely peak, looking at the mountain beam in the distance opposite, a black and oppressive forest on the steep wall, compared with the bright lights at both ends, the middle section seemed extraordinarily dark, standing on the top of the cliff, looking down, the bottom was not visible, the mountain wind blew, it seemed to be blowing on the hole above the rock wall, making a whining sound, and it was very infiltrating.

"Let's luck with that!" Han Yong muttered.
He crouched down and began to fiddle with several eight-ox crossbows that had already been loaded by the soldiers.
"Shoot only one eight-bull crossbow at a time!" Summer Snow Road. The eight-ox crossbow produced in Dingzhou can fire four rounds at a time, and the power is still very great, and it is not a problem to make it stronger, "We are not only going to shoot the crossbow arrow this time, but also to make the crossbow arrow penetrate deep into the rock or the ground, between the trunks of trees, so that it can bear the weight of a person, then it must be stronger." ”
"Xia Xue is right!" Han Yong said. Loading the crossbow bolt as thick as a child's arm, he carefully checked the steel wire attached to the back, and then raised the crossbow head, "Let's get started!" ”
Aiming carefully, Han Yong hoped that the crossbow arrow would pierce into the trees on the opposite side and shoot through the trunk of the tree, this special crossbow arrow had a barb on it, as long as it could penetrate the trunk thick enough, it would have enough pull.
Pull the trigger suddenly, there was a sound of collapse, in the silent night, the howling sound of the eight bull crossbow seemed so harsh, everyone was startled, nervously looking at the other side, if the other party has a sentry there, then, the sound of the eight bull crossbow shooting over will definitely alarm them.
For a long time, there was still no movement on that side, but between the two peaks, there was an extra wire rope.
"Quick!" Han Yong waved his hand to let the soldier behind him quickly tie the other end of the wire rope firmly to a boulder, stretched out his hand and pressed it hard, the wire rope sank slightly, and couldn't help but say, "Yes, it should be able to bear the weight of a person!" ”
"Shoot one more!" Qiu Ping said. Seeing that the strategy worked, everyone was overjoyed.
A moment later, there was another crackling sound, this time slightly lower. The two wire ropes were suspended in the night sky, almost invisible, even if Han Yong and the others knew that there was this thing between the two peaks, if they didn't look carefully, it would not be easy to find it.
Pressing the two wire ropes hard, Han Yong said: "It's a pity, it would be good if there were a few long wire ropes, and a few more will be shot to ensure that you can pass safely." ”
Xia Xue said with a smile: "You can be content, it's just these few roots, and they are also owned by Tanning Prefecture, if it weren't for the fact that General Deng's sailors were here, I really couldn't find them, there were only three in total, and one had to be left to pull the thick steel cable, and two were enough." ”
"People's hearts are always insufficient!" Han Yong smiled, "Two, then I'm going to be the first!" He reached out and tightened his clothes.
"Wait!" Xia Xue stretched out her hand to stop him, "I'll come first." ”
Han Yong said dissatisfiedly: "That makes sense, how can you let a woman come first, I'll go up, you guys will watch the wind here first." ”
Xia Xue was a little annoyed, "What's wrong with the woman, it's not worse than you, General Han, I said I'll come first, because among the three of us, I'm smaller and lighter, this wire is hanging in the air, although it looks quite strong, but I don't know how to not try it in person, at this time, the body is one or two lighter, maybe it's life and death, you're a big guy, at least dozens of pounds heavier than me, so it's more sure that I can go up?" ”
Han Yong was silent for a moment, knowing that Xia Xue was right, the wire rope spanned Lixu, looking strong, but no one could say what it was, besides, Xia Xue's martial arts were no worse than herself, and her martial arts path was delicate and first-class, and her flexibility was better than herself, in this kind of wire rope, the grasp was indeed greater, and at the moment, the Dingzhou army could not afford to lose.
"Well, be careful!" Han Yong said in a low voice.
Qiu Ping stepped forward and stretched out her hand to hug Xia Xue in her arms: "Be careful!" ”
"It's fine!" Xia Xue smiled lightly, reached out and tore a cloak, slowly and carefully wrapping the strip of cloth around her hand. Leaned over and tied the last thin steel wire to himself, walked to the edge of the cliff, turned around and waved his fist, "Dingzhou Army, Wan Sheng!" ”
"Dingzhou Army, Wansheng!" Han Yong and Qiu Ping both waved their fists at her vigorously, under the gaze of more than a hundred pairs of eyes, Xia Xue closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and put a steel pull ring on the leather belt around her waist on the wire rope, and then the whole person slowly climbed up, grabbed the thin rope with both hands, and hooked her feet cross, and with a slight slide, the person was already suspended in the air.
Everyone held their breath and watched Xia Xue alternate her hands and move forward slowly.
The steel wire is suspended in the air, looking strong, but the more forward, the greater the shaking, and the more difficult it is to travel, Xia Xue carefully moved forward, and the whole body swayed from side to side with the swing of the wire rope, stabilizing her body
The body ratio is forward
It was even more difficult, only a third of the way forward, and I was already sweating profusely.
Although there were strips of cloth wrapped around his hands, there were still bursts of stinging pain, which were obviously worn out. Looking down at the body below, hundreds of meters in the air was dizzying, she quickly raised her head, took a few breaths, let go of a hand, and moved her wrist, fortunately, the steel buckle at her waist could bear some of the power for her.
Gu Feng's side has been blurred, nothing can be seen clearly, looking back at his target, he usually feels very close to Xu Zhili, but now it seems to be out of reach, in the bottom of his heart secretly cheered for himself, Xia Xue began to move forward again, right now, she has no way out, either succeed, or fall down from these hundreds of meters into the air, and turn into a ball of flesh.
Han Yong and Qiu Ping's faces were full of sweat, although they couldn't see the situation in the air clearly, they still tried to widen their eyes, trying their best to see more clearly, he wasn't worried that Xia Xue would fall down, he was more worried that if the eight-bull crossbow on the opposite side fell off, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Oops, it's windy!" Han Yong let out a low cry, the wind was a little stronger than just now, they might not feel anything when they were standing on the ground, but for the real snow that was only hanging in the air with only two wire ropes at the moment, any slightly stronger wind could bring him a catastrophe.
Qiu Ping's face was also pale, and as Han Yong said, the wind was slowly getting stronger. His hands pressed to the ground and plunged deep into the soft earth.
The sudden wind made Xia Xue indeed face a great dilemma, the swing of the whole body was getting bigger and bigger, although she had tried her best to stabilize her body, but she had no place to borrow, she could only swing with the swaying of the wire rope.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" She cried out to herself. Alternating his hands, Xia Xue sped up.
The wire rope in his hand suddenly sank down, and the whole person fell steeply down two meters, Xia Xue's mind buzzed, a blank, the eight bull crossbow fell off, it's over! As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, the wire rope that had been lowered by two meters stopped again,
Xia Xue, who was waiting for herself to fall, found that she was still hanging in the air and did not fall, she was ecstatic, and her body suddenly gave birth to a force - a strength, like an octopus, desperately crawling towards the opposite side, there were still a hundred meters.
Ninety meters, eighty meters. The wire rope is slowly sinking.
Finding that her body was sinking deeper and lower, Xia Xue knew that the Eight Bull Crossbow must be slowly sliding outward from the place where it was pierced, and maybe at any time, she would fall down with the Eight Bull Crossbow that fell off.
Hurry, hurry, hurry! I didn't know where the strength came from, so Concubine Xue alternated her hands and quickly climbed to the opposite bank.
Thirty ingredients, twenty meters, ten meters. Xia Xue had already seen the dark rock wall and the woods above.
Five meters, four meters, three times... Xia Xue stretched out her hand violently, grabbed a small protruding tree on the rock wall, and finally stopped in her heart, almost at the same time, there was a crisp sound, and an eight-ox crossbow fell off the ground, slid all the way from the ground, hit the ground, clanged, Xia Xue reacted very quickly, and quickly freed the steel buckle on her waist from the wire rope, and just finished this action, a crossbow arrow had fallen from the cliff in front of her.
"It's dangerous!" Xia Xue secretly said in her heart that she was lucky, if she was slow down for a minute and a half seconds, she would be a pile of meat paste now.
With the force in her hands, she squatted on the rock wall with her two feet, Xia Xue climbed the cliff, and as soon as her feet fell to the ground, the whole person became weak and collapsed on the ground. With his mouth open, he gasped for breath, and a feeling of escape from death arose in his heart.
A wire rope fell into the air, Han Yong and Qiu Ping on the lonely peak were stunned, Qiu Ping rushed to the edge of the cliff and looked at the bottom of the cliff blankly, wanting to cry without tears, Xia Xue must have also fallen.
Han Yong was silent for a moment, grabbed the wire rope with both hands, and put the wire rope up alternately, Xia Xue is dead, they will fire the crossbow bolt again, the second attempt.
"Han Yong, look!" Qiu Ping, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, suddenly screamed in surprise. The wire rope that was tied to Xia Xue's body was still stretched horizontally in the air, if Xia Xue fell, this wire should also hang down the cliff, not like this.
The two looked at each other, and they couldn't hold back their joy, "She succeeded!" Qiu Ping shouted happily.
After a while, the wire rope slowly pulled up, and quickly retracted towards the opposite side, watching the thick steel cable coiled on the ground also be pulled and began to cross the sky, more than 100 special combat personnel on the cliff were excited to rush up. Once the thick steel cable has been pulled over and secured, they can be sent there on a large scale.
Half an hour later, Qiu Ping, who looked at the opposite side with wide eyes, found a lit incense stick drawn three circles in the night sky, which meant that Xia Xue had fixed the steel cable, and happily grabbed another steel cable with one hand, "Okay, I'll go over the second one." ”
