readx;? Chapter 1280 is difficult

At present, the Sixth Army of the Ningnan Army is still stationed in the Termel Gorge, which is still a strategic point for the Feng Army and the Ningnan Army to fight. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Through the investigation of the dark flag, Shangguan Xiu's side already knew that the Sixth Legion in Ningnan was still stationed in the Thamel Gorge, and if he wanted to go over, he had to defeat the Sixth Legion first.

Shangguan Xiu and the Sixth Legion are old rivals, especially with Jun Qihan, the commander of the Sixth Legion, who can be called old acquaintances. Now that the Sixth Army of Ningnan is holding on to the danger, it is not easy for Shangguan Xiu to lead the army through the Thamel Gorge.

Looking at the topographic map of Thamel Canyon drawn by the Dark Flag spies, Shangguan Xiu pointed at the topographic map with his fingers while silently calculating in his heart. ===Breaking the Sky Comics/CX16/===.

After thinking about it for a long time, he asked, "Thamel Canyon, divided into East Peak and West Peak, which side is relatively easy to attack?"

The Ningnan army has occupied the peaks on both sides of the canyon, and if the peak is not captured, the wind army will not be able to pass through at all, and the Ningnan army on the top of the mountain will be stoned to death in the canyon.

Zhao Chen Zhengse said: "Brother Xiu, the slope of the East Peak is gentle, and it is relatively easy to attack, but Jun Qihan and the main force under his command are all in the East Peak, and the West Peak has a steep slope, and the strength of the Ningnan Army here is relatively small, about 20,000 people." ”

Shangguan Xiu nodded while listening, the terrain of the East Peak is relatively weak, but Jun Qihan and the main forces under his command are here, and although the troops on the West Peak are small, the terrain here is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In the arrangement of troops, I can't find fault with Jun Qihan.

He pondered for a while and asked, "What is the closest distance between the East Peak and the West Peak?"

"The nearest place is thirty zhang apart, and the farthest place is more than 100 zhang apart. ”

Thirty zhang, that is, 100 meters away. Such a close distance is equivalent to standing on the peak of this side, and you can directly attack the peak on the opposite side. Shangguan Xiu rubbed his chin and said, "So, our army must first conquer the peak on one side. ”

Zhao Chen nodded first, then shook his head again, and said: "Whether it is the East Peak or the West Peak, it is impossible to transport large baggage such as artillery to the peak, even if our army can conquer the peak on one side first, and if we want to suppress the enemy army on the opposite peak, it is unlikely that we can do it." ”

Shangguan Xiu smiled and said, "Before the two peaks, the nearest place was only thirty zhang, and at such a close distance, the officers and men of our army could jump from this side to the opposite side!"

Jumping to the other side?Zhao Chen shrunk his neck, almost choking on his own saliva. Even the nearest place is thirty zhang away, and for ordinary soldiers, let alone thirty zhang away, even if they can jump three zhang away, it is a miracle.

Shangguan Xiu didn't care what Zhao Chen thought in his heart, he stretched out his hand and clicked on the West Peak on the topographic map, and said, "Our army, let's hit the West Peak first." The west peak is steep, and our army can win by surprise if we attack here first! The enemy forces in the west peak are small, and when our army attacks the west peak, the pressure will be much less. ”

The generals present raised their heads one after another, looked at Shangguan Xiu, and asked, "......What does Your Highness mean?"

Hu Chong said thoughtfully: "Your Highness means that our army can send a small group of elites to secretly climb to the top of the peak where the enemy's defense is lax, take it by surprise, attack it unprepared, and take the enemy by surprise." ”

Shangguan Xiu looked up and smiled, and said, "What Lao Hu said is very much in line with me. ”

Zhao Chen smiled bitterly, shook his head again and again, and said: "Brother Xiu, the peak of the West Peak is nearly a hundred zhang high, and the places where the Ningnan Army's defense is lax are almost all dangerous peaks that go straight up and down, and the West Peak has not seen sunlight for a long time, the cliffs are damp, and covered with moss, slippery like a mirror, it is really difficult for humans and animals to climb!"

Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes and said: "It is precisely because of the steepness and the difficulty of people and animals to climb that the Ningnan army on the peak will take it lightly, as long as the elite of our army can successfully climb to the peak, it will be able to kill the Ningnan army by surprise." ”

The key is how to climb up! Zhao Chen lowered his head and was silent in thought.

Shao Han opened his mouth and said: "It is up to the cultivators to take the lead in climbing, and then go down the rope to help our soldiers climb the mountain!"

"Where can our army find a rope that is a hundred feet long?" Zhao Chen asked. You must know that a rope is not just for one person to climb, if this is the case, even if it is three days and three nights, you will not be able to climb the top of the mountain for a few people.

A rope must at least be able to withstand dozens or hundreds of people climbing at the same time, which requires that the rope must be tightened abnormally, and by connecting several sections of rope into a hundred zhang long, it is tantamount to joking with the lives of the soldiers.

Shao Han thought for a while and said, "Climb in stages." The three-zhang long rope is fixed at the height of the three-zhang, and so on, leading to the peak in a stepped manner!"

Zhao Chen still shook his head and said: "It's okay to say below the halfway up the mountain, above the halfway up the mountain, the mountain wind is too strong, and the rope doesn't know where to be blown away, the soldiers climbed this rope to the end, and then wanted to grab another rope on it, it was too difficult." ”

Shao Han's eyes rolled again and again, and he said, "Then tie up a soldier at the end of each section of rope, and let the soldier fall on the rope so that the rope will not be blown away by the mountain wind." ”

"What if even a person with a rope is blown away?" Zhao Chen said: "The height of fifty zhang away, the wind is so strong that it is far beyond the ground. ”

"It's not enough to tie one person, then tie two people, then tie two people is not enough, then tie three people, as long as you are willing to put one heart into one, where can you not do it?" Shao Han said categorically.

Shao Han can be regarded as the most orthodox elite of the Duwei Mansion, he has been an orphan since he was a child, adopted by the Duwei Mansion, and grew up in the almost purgatory-like tempering of the Duwei Mansion, improvised, and has a strong ability to solve problems.

Here in Shao Han, as long as you can come up with a plan, even if it seems unfeasible, he can make the infeasible feasible. This is Shao Han's excellence. Even Hu Chong was reluctant to lose Shao Han's right-hand man, of course, for a reason.

Zhao Chen blinked his eyes and stopped talking, although he felt that the idea that Shao Han came up with was ridiculous and ridiculous, but he couldn't find a rebuttal for a while.

Menshak said quietly: "Tie the soldiers to the end of the rope, it is good that our army can succeed in this battle, if it is not successful, these soldiers will become the living targets of the people of Ningnan." ”

Shao Han frowned and said, "Risk and benefit coexist, this is war, where is there a battle that can sit back and enjoy without taking risks?" He turned his head to look at Shangguan Xiu and said, "Brother Xiu, my subordinates are willing to fight this battle!"

Shangguan Xiu looked at Shao Han and didn't answer immediately. He proposed to attack the West Peak because he was sure that the defense of the Ningnan Army on the West Peak side was much weaker than the defense on the East Peak side, and as for what to do, he did not have a plan in his mind.

After being silent for a while, he asked, "Lao Shao, leading the army to attack Xifeng, how sure can you win?"

Shao Han didn't think about it, and said: "My subordinates are thirty percent sure. ”

Hearing this, everyone present frowned, only Sancheng was sure, he still wanted to ask Ying to fight? Shao Han's courage was too great.

Without waiting for others to speak, Shao Han continued: "If His Highness is willing to transfer a hundred spiritual cultivators from the Three Legions and listen to the dispatch of his subordinates, his subordinates will be fifty percent sure of this battle. If His Royal Highness can lend General Xiao and General Wu to his subordinates together, his subordinates will have a seventy percent chance of winning this battle!"

Hearing Shao Han's words, Shangguan Xiu and everyone present couldn't help but burst out laughing.

It turned out that what Shao Han said was only thirty percent sure, it was just a pretense, what he really wanted was that the hundred spiritual cultivators in the Third Legion, plus Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei, would all help each other.

Shangguan Xiu smiled lightly, and first turned his head to look at Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei beside him.

The two of them did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately said: "My subordinates are willing to fight with General Shao!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Xiu smiled and looked at Hu Chong again. Hu Chong didn't say a word, and said categorically: "The cultivators of the Third Legion can be dispatched by General Shao!"

"Okay!" Shangguan Xiu stroked his palms and smiled, and said: "Lao Shao, you are responsible for the sneak attack on Xifeng, I hope you can succeed in the battle." ”

"Subordinates obey!"

The matter of the sneak attack on the west peak of the Thamel Canyon finally fell on the head of the Zero Legion at the initiative of Shao Han.

Shao Han first selected 5,000 soldiers who were good at climbing in the Zero Legion, and then removed the wounded and weak among them, and finally only retained 3,000 soldiers. And these 3,000 people are the main force that he wants to personally lead and sneak attack on Xifeng.

In order to avoid startling the grass and snakes, the main force of the wind army led by Shang Guanxiu marched slowly in the direction of the Thamel Canyon, and the three thousand elites led by Shao Han quietly broke away from the main force of the wind army, avoided the official road, and specialized in marching in the wilderness mountains and forests.

Two days later, Shao Han successfully arrived on the west side of Thamel Canyon.

As Zhao Chen said, the western peak of Thamel Canyon is towering into the sky, and it is extremely steep, and the worst thing is that the smoothness of the cliff is almost like a mirror. Not to mention climbing upwards, even if your feet are on the rocks, it will be slippery.

Under the guidance of Zhao Chen, Shao Han came to a cliff. After carefully examining the surrounding environment, Zhao Chen said: "According to our investigation, there is no sentry post of the Ningnan Army near this place. ”

Shao Han looked around, this cliff, and the jungle at the foot of the mountain are close together, it is very suitable for his own soldiers to hide nearby, and it is indeed a good place to climb the peak. He smiled at Zhao Chen and said, "It seems that you have already helped me find the specific location of the mountain." ”

Zhao Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Lao Shao, climbing the mountain is dangerous, after climbing to the top of the mountain, it is even more dangerous, you have to think about it carefully!"

Shao Han is the banner master of the Shura Hall, and Zhao Chen is also the banner master of the cultivators, the two have known each other for many years, and their status in the Shura Hall is also equal, in public and private, he doesn't want Shao Han to make a mistake.

He raised his hand and patted Zhao Chen's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have my own measure! After we conquer the Thamel Canyon, you and my brother, let's talk about wine again!"

Zhao Chen shook his head helplessly and said, "Take care, I'll go back to Brother Xiu first." ”

Shao Han bowed his hand, Zhao Chen hurriedly returned the salute, and then left quickly with two henchmen.

After Zhao Chen left, Shao Han observed the nearby environment again, and then retreated to the mountains and forests with his subordinates.

That night, in the middle of the night, the wind army led by Shao Han began to move.

The first to act are the spiritual cultivators. Under Shao Han's instructions, Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei and the others took out cloth towels, wrapped their mouths around them, and then covered the spirit armor and carried the bundles of ropes prepared in advance on their backs.

Each of them also had hemp rope tied around his waist, and all the thick and large iron pegs were tied to the hemp rope, which was specially used to hold the rope in place.

After everyone was ready, Shao Han carefully checked it, confirmed that it was correct, and nodded to everyone, indicating that they could start acting.

Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei took the lead and took the lead in climbing the cliff. Even if the fingers and toes wrapped in the spirit armor were as sharp as hooks, it would be difficult to climb on such a smooth cliff.

The two of them drew out the spirit knife and used it as an aid for climbing.

First, the spirit knife was inserted deep into the gap of the cliff, and then with the help of the spirit knife as a support point, the fingers and toes were used to buckle the hole in the cliff wall to make a stable support point, and then the spirit knife inserted into the mountain wall was pulled out and reinserted into a higher place.

Even the cultivators were so slow and difficult to climb, and the cliffs of the West Peak were difficult to walk in front of ordinary soldiers.

It took a full quarter of an hour for Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei, who were the fastest, to climb out of a height of three feet. The two of them first used the spirit knife to insert a crack in the cliff, and then took off the iron peg hanging from their waists, and stabbed into the crack in the cliff with all their might.

The iron peg was pointed at one end, and there was an iron ring at the other end, confirming that the iron peg was fixed and strong, Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei took off the rope on their bodies, tied one end to the iron ring, and threw the other end down.

This is just to complete a process, this cliff, almost a hundred zhang high, they have to complete dozens of such processes, in order to smooth the rope all the way to the top of the cliff, the most important thing is that their time is not unlimited, all the processes, must be completed before dawn, if dragged until dawn, then these ropes fixed on the cliff are very likely to be observed by the spies of the Ningnan army, and their plan will be completely failed.
