Chapter nine hundred and seventy seventh heaven descends
Xiao Shilian said in a deep voice: "Are you not going to take command anymore?"
Li Xingchen patted the railing: "If someone comes to take charge personally every time, how can we live in peace in the future, so we have to train some people from now on. Although we are pursuing victory, we cannot get used to winning, and we also need to have some blood.
Fire and hardship will temper this army. So whether it is victory or defeat, I accept it."
Xiao Shilian couldn't help but smile: "I'm afraid you are the only one who can see clearly on this river, right?"
Li Xingchen stretched out his hand and pointed to the mountain stronghold in front of him: "The key point of the entire battle is there. The mountain stronghold on the right is not large in scale, and the terrain is dangerous. Although Gu Jue's troops are not many, it is not that easy for us to rush up. This
Most of the roads are steep cliffs that go straight up and down, so how to suppress Lu Zhongsu is the most important thing to solve. After taking down the mountain stronghold on the left, we can untie the iron rope, and then the Jingzhou Navy will be in the bag."
Xiao Shilian frowned: "You say you are so confident, are you really so confident in Cheng Feng and the others?"
"Cheng Feng..." Li Xingchen hesitated for a moment and said with a smile, "At least you haven't let me down, right?"
"Your Highness, General Wang requested the Army Division to continue sending additional troops!" A messenger came quickly.
Li Xingchen looked at Xiao Shilian: "I'll leave the beach to you. With such a fierce battle today, we may not have many opportunities in the future."
Xiao Shilian nodded solemnly.
At this time, behind the hilltop on the left not far away, figures were climbing up with difficulty. Although the mountain on this side is not straight up and down, it is rugged with rocks and overgrown with weeds, and there is almost no place to climb calmly.
The road to walk.
All the soldiers who climbed up had to use both hands and feet. When encountering a big rock, a skilled person had to be sent up first, and then hung the rope down. Sometimes they had to use plum blossom claws.
In fact, they had arrived at the foot of the mountain last night, but it had already taken them more than half a day to climb up the mountain.
"Follow me from behind!" Cheng Feng stood in a mountain col and said in a low voice. Sweat slid down his face. However, because he had shed countless sweats along the way, Cheng Feng didn't care about it for a long time.
, this place is only one step away from the top of the mountain. After losing two or three men, Cheng Feng finally led this group of brothers to conquer the mountain.
Across the hilltop, you can already hear the earth-shattering sounds of killing on the other side. It's obvious that the war is still going on, so that's good.
"Boss, we just captured the beachhead and were blocked on the hillside." A soldier who climbed to the top of the mountain first saw Cheng Feng coming and said hurriedly, "It is a steep slope from here to the camp on the mountainside. We can only rely on
Rope down."
Cheng Feng took a deep breath. Although this was expected, it was undoubtedly the worst plan. After all, descending by rope meant that he would be completely exposed to the enemy's arrows. Although it would not last long,
It's also deadly enough.
"We have no choice, prepare to rappel!" Cheng Feng said decisively.
When His Highness arranged the task, he clearly stated that Lu Zhongsu's camp should be outflanked from the back mountain at all costs. Cheng Feng didn't know how many of the eight hundred men would be left if this continued, but he knew what "at any cost" meant.
Relying on cliffs to carry out rappelling raids is definitely a brand new concept. When Li Xingchen proposed it, both Xiao Shilian and Wang Chang who were present thought that Li Xingchen must be crazy. However, Cheng Feng, who had already learned many similar concepts from Li Xingchen, knew clearly.
This is not impossible at all. When the required ropes, plum blossom claws and other equipment are complete enough, the rest that is needed is courage.
In order to be able to achieve his goal, Cheng Feng has led people to train on the cliffs outside Xinzhou a few days ago. The cliffs there can be rappelled calmly, let alone this side. After all, the slopes here are a bit steep.
The slope.
Taking a deep breath, Cheng Feng grabbed the rope and threw it directly. The rope was long enough to help people land on a platform not far from the Nanchen camp, and from there to the back of the camp.
It was already very easy. At least now Cheng Feng didn't dare to fall directly into the enemy's camp.
It's not a good feeling to be surrounded by crossbowmen.
The ropes have been firmly fixed on the rocks, and soldiers are left here to watch. Because there are not enough sharp and protruding stones for the other ropes, they simply smash the prepared iron drills into the ground, which is enough to support a group of ropes.
A rope and the weight of a person.
"Let's go!" Cheng Feng pulled up the rope and was the first to fall down, while several battle leaders beside him followed closely behind him. The key to this battle was whether he could land. As the commander, Cheng Feng, in order to prevent the soldiers from
They were timid - even though they were all veterans, this was the first time they had fought like this - so he simply took the lead.
The river wind was roaring, and people on the rope felt like they were constantly shaking. Under their feet were the abyss and the tumbling river. Of course, there were countless sounds of fighting and shouting. At this moment, anyone would probably feel that they were above hell.
Even though Cheng Feng had been mentally prepared for a long time, it was a bit too much for him to suddenly entrust his entire body to a rickety rope. But no matter how much it was, he had no choice now in mid-air.
After stepping hard on the cliff, Cheng Feng's figure slowed down and slid down again. Fortunately, their hands were all wearing deerskin gloves, and their knees, elbows and other parts that were easily touched were also thickened for protection.
Although the action is a bit clumsy, at least non-combat attrition can be avoided.
"Fall!" Cheng Feng stepped on the platform, and a gust of river wind blew. He didn't even know whether he was in heaven or on earth.
But now standing on the platform, the entire battlefield can be clearly seen.
As expected, the navy's attack was thwarted by the iron cables blocking the river. Several huge five-toothed ships were like giant beasts struggling in a cage. Although the entire cage was creaking, it was still strong and strong.
Powerfully curb the struggle of the giant beast.
The fighting on the hillside of the mountain village was even more fierce. Although there was still some distance, Cheng Feng could clearly see the corpses covered on the hillside. The flag of the Shu Han army was still flying tenaciously, but most of the soldiers guarding the flag had already
Fall down.
In order to storm this stronghold, the Lu Division fought very fiercely.
There were more and more people behind them, and Nanchen's army, which was obviously focused on the hillside in front, didn't even notice that there were people coming down the steep cliff behind them. In other words, Nanchen didn't even notice when he was building this camp.
I thought that the enemy would rush down from the top of the mountain, so the camp was built on the mountain. Only the side facing the hillside had a wall, and the side facing the top of the mountain had no protective measures at all. (To be continued)
