This is very different from the later generations! Under the protection of the guards, Zhu Yongxing climbed to the peak and faced the bridge, and couldn't help but sigh after observing around.

Back then, when he visited the area, the bridge had been properly protected and reinforced, and the rugged paths at both ends had been re-hewn and widened with stone steps. And the two sides of the "Tiansheng Bridge" are set up guardrails, and the river under the bridge has also built a hydropower station, and visitors can overlook it by the railing here, and think about the ancient feelings. And now, walking on the "Tiansheng Bridge", the wind is blowing strongly, and the waves under the bridge are terrifying, where can you calmly and calmly enjoy the wonders?

Moreover, it is still possible to pass through the "Tiansheng Bridge" if it is bombarded with artillery, but it will be an absolute nightmare to attack Tianfeng Temple on the back along a rugged path.

Obviously, the Qing army on the opposite side also believed that it was impossible for the enemy to break through from here. From the binoculars, it can be seen that there are only a few hundred Qing soldiers defending the opposite cliff, and their faces are relaxed. They were waiting for the Ming army to cross the bridge, and then they fired arrows, causing the Ming army to bleed on the bridge that was no more than two meters narrow.

In the summer and autumn season, the famous Xiaguan wind is still smaller, but Zhu Yongxing does not want to use the corpse mountain and blood sea to seize the natural danger. He ordered a small number of Ming troops to carry their shields to make a tentative attack on Tiansheng Bridge, and retreated after a slight setback. Then, he transferred most of the Ming army to the back of the mountain, leaving only a few hundred people to defend. made a gesture of retreating in the face of difficulties to paralyze the Qing army.

The moon had risen, and the night had turned pale. The shadows seemed to be scattered, and they could be seen everywhere clearly, and even the grass stalks under their feet could be discerned. The peaks of the walls stand from the feet to the top. It's all black rocks. In some places, it is so prominent that it seems to be about to collapse; In some places, it was sunken in, as if there was a deep cavern inside, and in the crevices above and below the rock, there were wild miscellaneous trees and wattles with crooked branches, which looked like the coarse hairs of giants. Painted with a layer of vast night, it looks even more ferocious and terrifying.

Zhu Yongxing nibbled on dry food. Drinking the water in the gourd, he looked at the opposite cliff from time to time. The Qing army lit a bonfire, and the Jiangfeng Temple farther away was also lit up.

I don't know what happened to the strange army that sneaked around the road, whether they continued to trek, or if they had already found a suitable location, or if they had already started a sneak flight. Anyway, it's still very early, and Zhu Yongxing barely suppressed the cranky thoughts in his heart. Close your eyes and start resting.

………………

The moonlight also shone on the mountains and forests in the west more than ten miles away from Tiansheng Bridge, and the figures of people swayed on the cliffs.

Look at the other side here. It's a knife-like cliff, but it's a little lower than here, but there are always more than 30 zhang between the canyons. Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking down, the deep valley of the black hole, the boulders are hanging, and the wind is blowing. Scraping flesh through the bones, the sound of the rapids rushing into the ear drums. The trees on the opposite cliff were swaying and chirping in the wind. Because of the swing of the treetops, it is reflected as if all the mountains are shaking. It makes people feel dizzy and unable to stand. I was so nervous that I held two handfuls of cold sweat.

The southwest wind is not small! Several artillerymen measured the distance, measured the speed of the wind, and after a moment of careful discussion, adjusted the direction of the small cannon, then loaded the medicine bag, and put into it a round plank that fit the muzzle of the gun, and then an iron hook, behind which was tied a long, thick rope that had been soaked with water.

More than a dozen Ming troops held up a huge black curtain to block the fire from being launched, a move to guard against the Qing army in the distance.

Everything was ready, the artillerymen lit the fuse, and a moment later, with a muffled sound, the planks flew out of the muzzle of the guns with a hook and fired in the opposite direction.

"Pull, pull back slowly." The hook fell, and it was impossible to see if it had scraped a tree or a rock, and at the sound of an order, several fierce warriors began to tighten the rope tied to the trunk with an improvised winch.

The thick rope was slowly straightened and pulled back, and the chief soldiers Zhang Guoyong and Li Chengjue stared wide-eyed, hoping to succeed in one attempt. It wasn't until the thick rope stopped moving, and the three strong men couldn't twist the wheel, that the two breathed a sigh of relief.

I'm not afraid that I can't do it, I'm afraid that I can't think of it, using a small sky-bombing cannon to fire a hook tied to a rope and hanging it on the trees on the opposite hill sounds very simple, but it is not easy to really come up with it. This is the limitation of thinking, for some people can invent and create through inconspicuous things, while some people turn a blind eye every day, this is the truth.

Zhu Yongxing's knowledge is many times broader than that of people in this era, outwitting Huashan Zhilu Dao No, attacking Milk × Tou Mountain Zhi Lu Dao No, Walking a Tightrope in the Absolute Valley Knowing Lu Dao No, well, this principle is also the same.

"Go a few more, and then continue to throw the rope, whether you scrape it or not, there is someone who can help fix it." Zhang Guoyong turned to Li Chengjue and asked in a consultative tone, "What do you think?" ”

"This is the safest way." Li Chengjue nodded yes, and did not forget to compliment, "General Zhang is worthy of being the general who has followed His Highness for the longest time, and this meticulous and thorough understanding is the essence of His Highness's use of troops." ”

Zhang Guo has a kind of pride in his heart, and when His Royal Highness went out of Burma and entered Yunnan, he surrendered, thinking that he was the oldest and had military exploits. And although Li Chengjue and others also had merit in the expedition to Annam, they could not be compared with them.

"Mr. Li has won the award." Zhang Guoyong had to show modesty on the surface, waved his hand and said: "Fur, I only learned some fur." His Royal Highness's strategy is mysterious, if you want to learn the essence, how easy is it? ”

"That's, that's." Li Chengjue nodded again and again, but sincerely admired, "The relevant utensils have already been prepared, and His Royal Highness has already reached Longwei Pass before he goes to Yongchang, and it is not an exaggeration to win a thousand miles." ”

Several Ming soldiers put ropes on the pulleys, and a slightly thinner rope was tied to the pulleys, and rope pockets were tied underneath. In this way, flying over the deep ravines does not require a strenuous and frightening climb, relying on the natural angle, and the person sits in the rope pocket. It flew over like a cloud. Then use that slightly thinner rope to pull the pulley back. Making extremely dangerous and difficult things so simple and convenient, I'm afraid only Zhu Yongxing can do it!

A lean soldier was the first to sit in the rope pocket, carrying some application objects on his body, and slid down the rope. The figure disappeared into the darkness on the other side.

After a long while, the thick rope kept shaking, and it was obvious that this Ming soldier from the past was reinforcing the rope over there. Later, a faint red light lit up on the opposite cliff, drawing a circle towards this side.

The pulleys were quickly pulled back, some grease was poured over them, and one by one the soldiers began to fly over the moat. After a dozen people had passed, the small sky-bombarding cannon made a muffled sound again, throwing five large ropes one after another. After being fixed by the soldiers on the opposite side, the speed of the personnel sneaking over was greatly accelerated.

It's done! Zhang Guoyong and Li Chengjue glanced at each other and smiled in unison. It's over. Wait until you suddenly launch an attack behind the side of Tianfeng Temple, and then take over the main force to conquer Tiansheng Pass, and this great achievement will be done.

………………

The sun had not yet risen, but the air was already filled with the chill of dawn, and the grass was already covered with gray dew. The early birds sing in the half-light and half-dark clouds. And in the distant sky, there is a morning star staring at the closest. It's like a lonely eye.

The bonfires that had been extinguished were boiled with firewood, and the water was boiled in kettles and distributed to the officers and soldiers participating in the battle. A bowl of boiling water under the stomach, a few pieces of dry food to satisfy hunger, the discomfort of sleeping in the mountains and forests was washed away, and the excitement of the battle gradually soaked the body.

Although Zhu Yongxing got a report of the success of the sneak in the first half of the night. But he knew that it would take a long time for the battle to start. Wangshan ran a dead horse, and the sneaking place was only ten miles away from the Tiansheng Bridge, but it had to go over the mountains and mountains, and experienced great hardships and hardships. in order to circumvent the Tianfeng Temple.

It's just that this level of trek and climbing is much easier than the army climbing over the snow-covered Cangshan Mountain and going straight to Dali.

Wei Jun raised the telescope again and looked at the opposite side, which had been repeated many times in just a few minutes, showing the anxiety in his heart.

Zhu Yongxing smiled faintly and watched the artillery set up the sky-bombardment cannon according to the mountain, pointing directly at the Qing army's position opposite the Tiansheng Bridge. Under the indiscriminate artillery bombardment, it is certainly possible to rush across the Tiansheng Bridge. Then, the hedgehogs gather in a narrow area and follow the rugged mountain road to attack the Heavenly Pass? At that time, artillery could not be used, and even if it was a pile of human lives, it would be difficult to make a breakthrough.

"Wind direction, wind speed, pay special attention." Zhu Yongxing reminded the artillery squad leader who came to report, "The muzzle of the gun should be deflected. ”

The artillery squad leader took the order and left, Zhu Yongxing held the teacup in his hand and warmed his hands, but he heard Wei Junzhong let out an excited shout.

"Your Highness, Your Highness." Wei Jun ran over in a few steps, handed the telescope to Zhu Yongxing, and shouted, "Fire, firelight, in Jiangfeng Temple." ”

Zhu Yongxing hurriedly took the telescope, in fact, he didn't need it anymore, although the fire was not big, but he could see it here. It's just that with a telescope, you might be able to see the situation more clearly. However, Zhu Yongxing felt disappointed, and he couldn't tell for the time being whether the fire was ignited by the Qing army or caused by the battle.

"Your Highness—" Wei Junzhong said anxiously.

"Rest easy." Zhu Yongxing did not put down the binoculars, and said in his mouth: "Order the troops, prepare for the attack." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Wei Junzhong hurriedly conveyed the order to His Majesty.

"Boom, boom..." The sound of the explosion came, although it was not very real, Zhu Yongxing immediately knew that the battle of Jiangfeng Temple had indeed started. Although he didn't bring grenades with him when he set out from Yuanjiang, he also made some earthen bombs that needed to be lit with open flames, and this kind of sound appeared in the enemy's defensive place, so you don't have to think about it to know what is going on.

"Attack!" Zhu Yongxing immediately got up, drew his sword and pointed at Tianshengguan.

"Fire!" The leader of the artillery squad, who had long been ready to stop, jumped on a big rock, held high the red flag, and waved it violently.

"Tong, Tong, Tong......" There was a muffled sound, and the white smoke rose, and was immediately blown away by the wind.

More than a dozen black shells flew across the Tiansheng Bridge, and it was clear that they were blown away by strong winds in the air, but the adjusted firing angle corrected the deviation to the greatest extent and landed on the positions of the Qing army.

A moment later, there was a loud bang that blew up countless pieces of rubble, more powerful than in normal land.

The standby Ming army shouted forward, two rows of sword and shield men lined up on the edge of the cliff, and musketeers lined up behind, sending out rows of fierce volleys towards the opposite side.

Soon. The Sky Cannon fired another salvo, this time with more accuracy and more explosion. The rocks were fired fiercely, and they fell one after another, coupled with the non-stop muskets that were fired, and the Qing troops guarding the Tiansheng Bridge were so crushed that they couldn't raise their heads.

Drums rumble. The Ming army, dressed in heavy armor, rushed forward and stepped onto the Tiansheng Bridge. Although the movement was a little slow, the weight largely offset the strong blowing of the "Shimonoseki Wind".

There were Qing soldiers who risked their lives to block the attack, and Ming soldiers fell to the bottom of the bridge, and the sound of muskets was mixed with the screams of soldiers on both sides, and the Tiansheng Bridge once again became a bloody battlefield.

The wind, whistling in your ears. Two spears stabbed from the top of the side and took Chen Xiangpeng from the hundred households. And his steel knife had just been pulled out of the neck of a Qing soldier, and there was no time to parry. He hurriedly leaned over and threw himself to the side.

The tip of the spear slashed across the shoulder armor with a screeching sound, and the covering musket continued to fire, one spear slumped to the ground, and the other hastily retracted.

Chen Xiangpeng stretched out his hand and grabbed the barrel of the gun with his strength, kicked a stone crack, and jumped suddenly. With a flash of the sword, he cut off half of the Qing soldier's head. And then. With his elbow, he put it on the edge of the stone cliff, rolled it well, and climbed onto the position of the Qing army.

Knives and spears struck one after another, hitting the rocks that Chen Xiangpeng had rolled on. A volley of muskets fired, screams rang out, and several Qing soldiers who got up to slash and kill were either killed or wounded. They fell to the ground in a splatter of blood arrows.

Chen Xiangpeng didn't dare to get up in a hurry, just lay on the ground and rolled and chopped, but he didn't leave the edge of the cliff, only creating favorable conditions for the soldiers behind.

A Ming soldier was lifted up by his companions, and as soon as he was exposed to the edge of the stone cliff, he smashed the spear in his hand and stabbed it indiscriminately. The two Qing soldiers were killed, and he was immediately stabbed in the shoulder and fell down with a scream.

Several Ming soldiers stepped on the shoulders of their companions again and appeared on the edge of the cliff, and after a battle of guns and knives, two Ming soldiers turned up.

The musket stopped firing, Chen Xiangpeng hurriedly turned around, leaned on each other with the two Ming soldiers, killed three Qing soldiers one after another, and covered several Ming soldiers to climb to the top of the cliff again.

The safety distance from the top of the cliff is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more Ming troops cross the Tiansheng Bridge and then climb to the top of the cliff to fight the remaining Qing army.

"It worked." Zhu Yongxing's telescope had already left the battlefield on the cliff, and a red flag appeared on the rugged path leading to Jiangfeng Temple, moving quickly towards Tiansheng Bridge, which was the illegal troops who had already captured Jiangfeng Temple and sent troops to meet them.

The morning sun poked its head out on the distant side of the mountain, spewing flames. The surrounding scenery was filled with a fresh morning light, bright red at first, then bright red and golden...... The red flag was blown by the wind and hunted and flyed, and under the light of the sun, it was as red as fire, as if it was burning.

……………

Walk through the Black Dragon Bridge not far away, is the enemy building that clears the customs, and the book has three big characters of "Longwei Pass". There are two floors upstairs, and there is a horizontal plaque hanging under the cornice of the building, which reads "Dragon Pass Lock Key".

Duan Wan'er in the convoy looked up and couldn't help but show a wry smile. What to defend against the enemy, impregnable, what a husband should be a pass, ten thousand people do not open, just two days of work, it was captured by the Ming army, I heard that His Royal Highness Min personally led the soldiers and horses, from the desperate place of the natural pass to make a breakthrough.

Alas, I still think I am clever in my own efforts, which is really an axe. In fact, people have a good idea in their hearts, and their own eloquent talk seems ridiculous.

Duan Wan'er hung her head in frustration and followed the convoy into Longwei Pass sullenly.

The traces of fighting on the streets of Longwei Pass are not heavy, and the Tiansheng Pass was attacked, which was a fatal psychological blow to the Qing army guarding the pass. When the watchtower closest to Tianshengguan was captured, and the Ming army under the city could enter the city smoothly through the ladder, the Qing army opened the north gate and fled in the direction of Dali.

Natural danger can become the basis for confidence in battle, and it can also become the main reason for the loss of fighting spirit. This is what Zhu Yongxing said, the reason why the danger is in his heart.

The convoy did not stop at Longwei Pass, but went straight out of the north gate. Except for the troops led by Zhu Yongxing who attacked Tianshengguan with heavy casualties and were relatively tired, the other troops still maintained good physical strength, and their mental state was also encouraged by the successive victories, and they were very full.

Soldiers are fast. After Zhu Yongxing and Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, and Bai Wenxuan, the king of Zhao, discussed urgently, they decided that the main force would not stop and go out of the customs to take Dali. Less than thirty miles away, the troops will be in the city tonight, giving the Dali defenders a greater psychological shock.

The cavalry had already pursued the fleeing Qing army towards Dali, and the large army began to set off after a little rectification. Although Zhu Yongxing was a little tired, he still insisted on riding a horse. It's no longer a long-distance march, so you don't need to save horsepower and measure it with your feet.

After traveling five or six miles, Bai Wenxuan, the king of Zhao, urged his horse to Zhu Yongxing's side and chatted with Zhu Yongxing as if gossiping.

"This Huguang Green Camp is even worse than the Ganshan Green Camp." Zhu Yongxing talked about his feelings, "When the natural danger is not broken, you can still fight desperately, but once you have no support, you will lose your fighting spirit." ”

"If it weren't for the defeat of Tengchong, the Ganshan Green Battalion would also be a strong force." Zhao Wang Bai Wenxuan shook his head slightly, obviously a little disdainful of the performance of the Ganshan Green Battalion when attacking Yongchang, "The Manchurian soldiers, the Han army banner, and the descendants of the three feudatories are soldiers and horses, and then the green battalions of the provinces, among which the Ganshan Green Battalion and the Huguang Green Battalion are still good combat units. The army of the three feudatories is the strongest among the three ghosts, followed by Shang traitor, and Geng traitor again. ”

Kong Youde is dead, there is no successor, and he is no longer known as the vassal king. And Sun Yanling of Guangxi, although he is also in a province, is no longer among the three feudatories.

"There is still a strong force in the Ganshan Green Battalion, and if we fight in the future, we must be cautious." Zhu Yongxing thought of Zhao Liangdong in Guizhou, and couldn't help but remind: "Daniel Zhang, Zhao Liangdong, are all famous generals, not to be underestimated. ”

"Daniel Zhang has been defeated at the hands of His Highness, and his courage will be lost." Bai Wenxuan seemed to be a little unimpressed, and also seemed to be complimenting Zhu Yongxing, and said with a smile: "Zhao Liangdong, even under Daniel Zhang, there is no need to worry. (To be continued......)
