Horse on the World

Chapter 918
Hearing the captain's grievances, Guo Quan was also speechless. Qingfeng's plan did not give them any greetings in advance. I can complain a few words from the bottom of my heart.Patted the captain's shoulder, but it made the captain grin his teeth in pain, and then remembered that the kid had been whipped dozens of times, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's all for the great cause of Dingzhou, for the sake of the master, there is nothing good Don't complain, don't forget how happy you were when you got the first steel knife in your hand. That knife was sent to us by the Overwatch Council at the risk of risk. The brothers who went up the mountain were ten taels of silver each. For the bounty, I will take another ten days off and have a good rest!"

The captain finally smiled happily, "Thank you, General, for the reward!"

"I heard that there is money to get, so I laughed like a flower, worthless thing!" Guo Quan smiled and waved his hand, "Go down, go down!" The captain smiled and retreated, but the other two surveyors were still wounded. Niujiaozhai and its surrounding terrain were slowly molded with mud on the sand table and placed on the sand table. In the huge sand table, the outline of the terrain in this area finally appeared.

"It's hard work, it's hard work!" Guo Quan said with a smile: "The two of you received 20 taels of silver, which is still ten days off! Take good care of your injuries, and there will be many places that will need you in the future! Well, not bad, your craftsmanship is good!" Staring at the sand table, Guo Quan said happily.

After the meeting in Ningzhou City, Guo Quan knew that they couldn't afford to delay here and had to fight. Even if they paid a relatively high price, they had to clean up King Ning first so that they could deal with Luoyang Tianqi and Shang Shang without any worries. Hypo.As the main force for the main attack on the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Guo Quan felt that he was under great pressure.

"General Wang Zhen, General Ji Tong, General Zhou Shuwen, General He Ping, General Liang Yi, please come over!" Guo Quan ordered.

After a while, several generals under Guo Quan's command gathered in Guo Quan's war room.

Patting on the sand table, Guo Quan said: "Look, this is Niujiao Village and its surrounding terrain, and it is also our next battle target. Before, we always looked at the flowers in the fog and didn't know how to start, but now we can see clearly, but the brain is more serious. It hurts, no wonder the Qiang people have gone through so many dynasties and have not been tamed by the Central Plains for so many years, such a treacherous terrain makes one's scalp tingle at the sight of it!"

Looking at the sand table just made by the surveyors, everyone gasped.

"Want to attack hard?" Wang Zhen asked tentatively.

Guo Quan sighed: "There are some abnormalities, maybe we can only beat them by force."

"How many lives does it take to get in?" Liang Yi hissed, "It might not work!"

The cliff where Niujiao Village is located is extremely steep, and two protruding mountain beams protrude out like the corners of a buffalo. Niujiao Village was built deep in these two corners, and two branch offices were set up on the protruding mountain beams. Each village has 2000 guards, guarding the only way to attack the main village. If you want to attack from between the two crooked beams, you have to withstand the strong blow from top to bottom from the two small villages. Even if you suffer huge casualties, you may not be able to enter. Niujiao Village is a thousand-year-old village. I don’t know how many attacks from emperors and generals it has survived. With the support of the Southern Army, which is extremely rich in experience and has more diverse weapons, it is difficult to defeat him.

"Niujiaozhai is the first village to enter the mountain. If we defeat him, the rest will be easier!" Guo Quandao: "Except for the stronghold of the Qiang people, Tarot Village, Niujiaozhai is the most dangerous and powerful. If we succeed in the first battle, we can take Niujiaozhai." Fortress, the other leaders of the Twelve Qiang Villages have to think about it, is there a way out with King Ning?" Guo Quanning said: "So this battle, we must not only fight, but also win. It's killing monkeys to scare chickens."

"What a way to kill monkeys and scare chickens!" Tian Feng's laughter came from outside the door. Guo Quan raised his head and saw Tian Feng striding in accompanied by a person, "Dean Qingfeng, General Tian?" Guo Quan He asked in surprise, "Why did you two come here?"

Tian Feng smiled and said: "As General Guo said, this first battle must not only be fought, but also won. I am responsible for clearing and suppressing the remaining troops of King Ning. How can I not come at such an important moment? Not only am I here, I also brought [-] personal guards, this battle will be handed over to General Guo to command, don't be afraid to use them."

Guo Quan was overjoyed, "General Tian's personal guards are amazing. I've been envious for a long time, but I'm afraid of the power of the general, so I dare not ask for it!"

"Just put honey in your mouth!" Tian Feng laughed.

All the generals went forward to greet Tian Feng and Qingfeng.

Qingfeng took off the bamboo hat on his head, and his beautiful face immediately brightened the room. He stretched out his hand to straighten some messy hair. This simple action made the throats of all the generals in the room dry, but this woman was not something they liked. One by one, they lowered their heads and looked at their toes.

Qingfeng smiled slightly, "Not only did General Tian bring his personal guards, but I also brought the Flying Eagle Brigade, and they were also under the command of General Guo."

"How dare you do this?" Guo Quan dared to say: "Last time Feiying trained [-] special forces for us, and I haven't thanked the dean yet?"

Qingfeng said: "It's all for the great cause of Dingzhou, why would you say thank you, how about it, General Guo, I heard that you have explored the topography of Niujiao Village?" Qingfeng glanced at the sand table.

"That's right!" Guo Quan waved his hand, "Dean, General Tian, ​​look, I'm having a headache! The terrain of Niujiao Village is too dangerous. I want to attack, but I don't know where to start. You can force it! Relying on the superiority of our Dingzhou army's ordnance, we will forcefully rush forward."

Tian Feng only glanced at the sand table, then shook his head, "How can this be done? General Guo, look, these two sub-villages are steep cliffs, even if there is no one to hinder them, it would be extremely difficult to climb up, not to mention Now the enemy army must be heavily guarded and will not let you take advantage of it. Even if you are willing to pay a high price, it is very likely that you will get nothing!"

"I think so too, but I can't fight now!" Guo Quan said distressedly.

"How far is this solitary peak from Zuolian curved beam?" Tian Feng asked, pointing to a solitary peak on the sand table.

"About Li Xu!" Guo Quandao: "General Tian, ​​I also thought about erecting heavy weapons such as trebuchets on this place to attack the curved beam on the left, but first of all, the mountain is steep and it is difficult to transport stone bullets up. The facilities on the curved beam on the left are complete, even hitting with a trebuchet has no effect!"

Tian Feng rubbed his chin, but there was nothing he could do for a while.

"How far is it?" Qingfeng thought for a moment, "It would be great if we could build a bridge over it, and pass through this lonely peak, right in the middle of the main village and the small village. You can cut off the connection between the two places."

Guo Quan laughed, "This single peak is several miles away from the left curved beam, and it is hundreds of meters high. Unless we can fly, it is impossible to get in."

Sun Zewu, who was following Qingfeng, suddenly said: "Maybe, we can build a suspension bridge between the two places. We have practiced this subject in training before, and we can build a suspension bridge at a distance of tens of feet. Climb over it."

"It's as far as a mile!" Guo Quan shook his head, "Even if a suspension bridge is erected, how many people can be sent over, one hundred, two hundred, such a small number of people will be a gift to the opponent What? It was wiped out in a blink of an eye."

Tian Feng's eyes suddenly brightened, "General Sun, if you are asked to build a bridge here, what will you do?"

Sun Zewu thought for a while, and said: "If the opponent doesn't have a sentry position here, then we can use the strong crossbow force of the eight-ox crossbow to shoot over with the steel wire. With a few steel wires, people with high martial arts skills and such training can climb along the steel wires. However, as General Guo said, the efficiency is very low, and it is only suitable for small-scale special operations, not for the whole army.”

Tian Feng slapped his hands violently, "As long as people can pass, that's fine. Those who pass carry thin steel cables on their backs, and thick steel cables are tied to the back of the thin steel cables. If you pull over a dozen thick steel cables, you can build an aerial bridge." The engineers laid wooden boards on the bridge, and ordinary soldiers can quickly throw themselves into the opposite side along this suspended bridge. The opponent relies on the advantage of the terrain. Is it our opponent?"

"It's really good, it's a good idea!" Qingfeng also applauded crisply, while Sun Zewu nodded slightly, but Guo Quan and others looked at each other when they heard these words, which was too whimsical.

"Dean, General Tian, ​​this bridge must be built overnight, and enough troops must be sent to defend this point overnight, otherwise, at dawn, such a big thing hanging in the air will be easy for the opponent If the troops are not strong enough to defend this point, then this method will not work." Guo Quan said.

"Sun Zewu, are you sure you can set up the steel cable at night and send how many people there?" Qingfeng turned around and asked Sun Zewu.

"Miss, more than [-] people in my flying eagle can climb over the bridge without using the bridge, and the [-] special forces sent to General Guo before should be able to do it overnight. As the steel cable climbs there, we can send so many people there at most."

"Can 1000 people defend against the attack from both sides for an hour?" Qingfeng asked in a deep voice, "Don't try to be brave, this is related to your life and death, if you can, you can, if you can't, let's pay attention!"

"Okay!" Sun Zewu raised his head abruptly, "We can hold on!"

"Very good!" Qingfeng looked at Guo Quan, "General Guo, it's up to you if Sun Zewu can hold on."

Guo Quan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "As long as there is an hour, it will be easy to handle. After dawn, I will send troops to attack from the front to contain some of the troops of Zuo Wanliang and relieve the pressure on you."
