The Tatar army, which had killed more than 800 horses and fed his soldiers, finally had the strength to act, although it was very unbearable to kill the horses, but most of the Tatar soldiers had a consensus in their hearts: horse meat was actually quite delicious, lean and strong, and after being paired with the grassland peppercorns they carried, the taste was really delicious.

For a long time, the soldiers looked at the bulging thighs of the war horses, and all they thought of was the soup of the horses, forgetting that these were their partners on the battlefield.

The first thing after the arrival of the Ming reinforcements must be to increase the troops in the West Cliff and cut off the way to cross the river, so it is unwise to go to the West Cliff to seize the ferry, he needs to find a place to cross the river, and the whole army swims across the Yellow River in order to avoid the Ming army and arrive at the territory of Ningxia Town on the north bank of the Yellow River.

A day later, the army marched quietly among the high and low mountains, and in the evening heard the sound of rushing water, the army camped on the spot, and took Bald Meng Ke and dozens of generals to climb the high cliff to check the situation. On the top of the cliff, the situation in front of people is surprised, only to see between the two cliffs of the wall standing thousands of miles, a rolling river meanders to the northeast direction at dozens of zhang under the cliff, standing on the top of the cliff, you can feel the shaking of the cliff under your feet, the momentum of the river rolling is like a thousand troops and horses galloping forward, which makes people tremble and chill.

The faces of the generals were not very good-looking, and they wanted to find a place to cross the river, but they didn't expect that it was such an insurmountable curse, and there was no way to cross the river here; The river is rolling, and the turbid waves are roaring, not to mention people and horses swimming across the river, even if you throw a big stone, it will be swept away by the rapids.

The bald man was also gloomy, and the unfamiliar guide of the terrain could only try their luck to go north, anyway, they knew that the Yellow River was in the north, and they were planning to arrive at the bank of the Yellow River first, but now that they were on the bank of the Yellow River, this was the case. For some reason, he suddenly sounded a sentence that he had often seen when studying Han books in the past few years: 'If you don't reach the Yellow River, your heart will not die', this sentence is perfectly appropriate here, and it does feel like a heart is dead at this moment.

"Father Khan, go back to the camp and rest, and walk northeast along the bank tomorrow to see if you can find a flat terrain to cross the river, it will definitely not work here." Turu whispered.

The bald man snorted coldly, "Do we still have time?" You must arrive at Ningxia Town to launch an attack within a few days, and your brother will lead an army to attack the Great Wall Pass northeast of Ningxia Town within three days after receiving the news. ”

"But how can we get here? It's pretty much the same to fly with wings outstretched. Tulu was unhappy at the scolding and muttered in a low voice.

"Can't my army cross even a great river? Whoever will think of a way for Ben Khan to cross the Yellow River from here, Ben Khan will reward him with 100 good horses and 1,000 cattle and sheep. "Put the bald can be said in a deep voice.

The generals were speechless, looking at the steep river valley in the twilight, who would dare to take this conversation? Not to mention rewarding cattle, sheep and horses, even if it is to sweat a lot, then there must be a way to pass.

In silence, a general spoke up: "Great Khan, why don't you ask among the soldiers, let them help think of a way, there are many people and great strength, we can't do anything for a while, maybe someone can have a flash of inspiration." ”

The bald man nodded and said: "Go and call the soldiers to come and see, tell them, who can come up with a way to let the horses cross the river safely, and be promoted to the commander of a thousand people, enter the golden tent of my Dayan Khan, and reward the gold, silver, jewelry, cattle and sheep servants." ”

The general took the order and left, and after a while, the soldiers who were busy camping came from the rear, standing densely on the top of a mountain cliff, in the face of such a dangerous pattern, most of these people changed color on their faces, and muttered in their hearts: Isn't the Great Khan crazy? Crossing the river from here is not looking for death? This is good, it is also a battlefield of corpses, and it can be fed directly into the Yellow River.

"Can't you all do it? Could it be that my army is blocked by this river, and the way home will not be possible? The bald man asked in a loud voice.

Soldiers, look at me, I'll look at you, no one dares to talk much, this natural danger, I'm afraid I can only put on wings and fly, what can I do?

Suddenly, a thin soldier stepped forward and walked towards the edge of the cliff. His superior, a centurion, hurriedly lowered his voice and shouted, "Hairigu, what are you doing?" Come back. ”

The soldier walked to the edge of the cliff, squinted his eyes and looked at the opposite bank, and after a while, he turned around and walked back and forth to the bald man, and the bald man's personal guards hurriedly stopped him and asked, and the soldier said, "The villain has a way, I want to tell Dayan Khan about it." ”

Hai Rigu was brought to the bald man, and he looked a little uncomfortable under the sharp eyes of the bald man, and stood there at a loss. The bald man asked in a deep voice, "Do you have a way?" ”

"The villain can't say that it will definitely work, but maybe he can give it a try."

"Huh? It turned out that I was not sure to try my luck, get out. Turu shouted.

The bald man scolded: "Tulu, stay there and let him speak." ”

Tulu walked away, he actually didn't want to watch his father Khan wade into danger, such a high cliff, this deep river valley, what good way can he cross the river? He came up with some ways to kill people, and he didn't want to fall into the Yellow River and drown here.

"The villain was originally from the Riyan tribe in the north of Helan Mountain, although our tribe is also herding, but many people are digging medicine and hunting on Helan Mountain for a living, and the villain is one of them."

"If you tell you how to cross the river, what are you doing with all this? Who likes to hear where you come from? Tulu couldn't help but turn around and scold.

Putting the machete on his waist, Tulu changed color, hurriedly turned his head and left, disappearing far behind a big rock.

"Go on."

"Yes, Great Khan. When we go up the mountain to hunt and collect medicine, if we encounter the mountain stream and canyon that we can't pass, we will use a way to climb over, that is, to use a rope to connect the steep place to climb the rope and pass through, just now the villain looked at the terrain between the two cliffs, here is high, the opposite bank is low, it is an excellent place to climb the rope to cross. ”

The bald man frowned and said, "Is it connected by a rope?" It's a good idea, but I'm afraid it won't work. How can a rope be secured to the opposite shore? That's the problem. ”

"What the Great Khan said is that in the mountains we all use arrows to fix ropes, shoot them to the cliffs on the opposite bank, and hook them between the rocks or the branches of big trees. The villain saw that the distance between them was very far, so he was not sure, and he didn't know if this method would work. If you can shoot a thin rope to fix it, the villain is willing to climb over and pull the thick rope to fix it, as long as one person crosses the river, you can pull hundreds of ropes, and then use hundreds of ropes to form a rope suspension bridge, and the army can pass through the guò. ”

The bald man's eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "Is it really okay? ”

Hairi Gudao: "The premise is that a rope can be fixed, otherwise the villain will not be able to do anything." ”

The bald man nodded and said, "Look." As he spoke, he strode forward, and a general beside him reminded in a low voice: "Great Khan, the two cliffs are nearly five hundred steps away. Arrows can't be shot. ”

Turning a deaf ear to the bald man, he stepped to the steep place on the edge of the cliff, looked at it for a long time, and said in a loud voice: "Who will give it a try?" Aren't they all self-proclaimed and infinitely powerful, boasting that they are the number one warrior on the grassland? See which of you can shoot an arrow five hundred paces away. ”

All the generals stepped forward one after another, took out their bows and arrows, bent their bows and shot towards the opposite bank, dozens of arrows went like meteors, but unfortunately they lost their strength halfway through, and fell headlong into the river under the cliff. The generals tried and tried again, but none of them succeeded, and they all died down.

Next, several military wrestlers also came forward to bend their bows and give alms, and the farthest one actually shot three hundred steps away, which was already very amazing, but it was still a long way from the other side.

With a sneer on his face, he said in a low voice, "Take Ben Khan's golden black bow." ”

Everyone was stunned, this golden black bow is the most famous bow and arrow on the grassland, made of pure steel, the bowstring is made of hundreds of yak hamstrings, it is made by the famous bow master Jebel on the grassland, and it was once dedicated to Genghis Khan, the emperor of Mengyuan, and then fell into the hands of the leader of the Waspur tribe; After sweeping the spurs away, the bow also fell into the hands of the bald man.

The problem is that this bow and arrow is said to have been pulled apart by Jebe and Genghis Khan, who made the bow, and no one else can pull the bow and arrow, so it has always been turned into an ornament and a mascot, and this bow and arrow is to be carried every time he goes out, but no one uses it.

The personal guard warrior carried this swarthy bow and arrow and walked over, slowly removed the bald man, tightly strangled his waist and abdomen with a cowhide plate belt, turned around in place a few times, let out a few strange roars, reached out and took the golden black bow in his hand, and slowly picked up an inconspicuous black long arrow, signaling the people around him to tie a finger-thick hemp rope to the end of the arrow, and the feet were arched, pointing obliquely at the sky on the opposite bank.

Everyone held their breath and stared, and more than 10,000 pairs of eyes stared at the bow and arrow in the bald man's hand, but when they saw that the bald man could exhale, the muscles on his arms bulged into big pimples the size of steamed buns, however, the bowstring did not move at all, and it was not pulled away at all.

Just as everyone sighed in disappointment, they suddenly heard the bald man shouting: "Open! "The bow and arrow slowly opened, creaking from a crescent moon, and slowly turning into an ellipse; With the crackling sound of the bones on the bald man's body, the entire bow and arrow were pulled into a full moon.

The Tartar soldiers roared with joy, some knelt down and kowtowed, and some shouted: "Great Khan, Great Khan." "The emotion is so excited that it is uncontrollable. Bald Mengke's face turned red, and suddenly his fingers were loosened, and the black arrows swished straight into the opposite sky like a meteor catching the moon, and at the same time, he planted Bald Mengke on the ground, vomiting a stream of blood from his mouth.

The people around him hurriedly helped him up, asked about the situation, and put the bald man with blood on his lips, but his eyes were staring at the arrow with a rope in the distance. The arrow went straight into the sky, and finally fell down with a long rope like a streamer, and everyone held their breath, staring at the black dot, but they saw that the arrow passed by the cliff and fell down the cliff.

The soldiers of the whole army sighed with regret, and the bald man also sighed secretly, it seemed that it was the will of heaven, and suddenly, he heard everyone shouting: "Hang, hang." ”

Looking at the bald and fierce probe, the arrow fell down the cliff on the opposite bank, but it was hooked by a tree sticking out, and the rope fluttered between the two cliffs, and it really hooked.

Excited, he spurted out a small mouthful of blood, but his heart felt much better.
