Chapter five hundred and eighty fifth: whim
The Northern Expedition Army once again returned to their camp, stepping on the bloody mud all the way, leaving countless destroyed stone throwing tools and scattered siege platforms on the open space.
Wan Shichang walked into Shi Gandang's big tent with a depressed look on his face, lay on the chair, stretched out his long legs, leaned back, and his hands were hanging down, almost touching the ground. He kept sighing.
"Why did you lose your fighting spirit after you get beaten once? This is not Wan Shichang I see!" A bowl of water was handed to Wan Shichang, "Get up and sit up straight!"
Wan Shichang stood up and sat up, "It's a waste of effort, it's a waste of effort. This Yumen Pass is really hard to fight. Also, those Mongolian soldiers are really not afraid of death!"
Shi Gandang said, "This is also the shortage of Yumen Pass's guards. If there are more than 10,000 regular troops here, and there will be another general who is proficient in defending the city. To be honest, I have no confidence to break him at all, but now, this is what I need most.
Both sides are short of each other, so we can definitely conquer him.”
Wan Shichang's spirit was a little cheered up, "You said that, it's just Lao Shi, the governor gave us a deadline. Moreover, after a long time, the Mongolian army outside the pass may come to help!"
"Yanjing has undergone several major changes, first it was Tuotuo, and then it was Barutu. The Mongolian army outside the pass was almost pulled out. It was not easy to gather a group of troops before hastily, so we still have some time.
Shichang, it won’t take many days to conquer Yumen Pass” Shi Gandang said with confidence.
"What's wrong with you?" Wan Shichang looked at him with some confusion, "looking confident."
"Thank you for this!" Shi Gandang patted Wan Shichang's shoulder hard.
"I" Wan Shichang looked at Shi Gandang, "Old Shi, don't laugh at me, okay? I lost twice and I was so embarrassed!"
"What are these two battles? If I were to go, I might lose even worse! The general who led the army to fight was not a good general who had never suffered a defeat and had never lost a battle!" Shi Gandang said with a smile.
"Who said that without our governor, he would never have lost a battle!" Wan Shichang said.
Shi Gandang shook his head, "Who did you hear me?"
"Everyone in the army said so!" Wan Shichang said strangely.
"It's not like that. I heard Xiao Yi say that the governor was defeated many times and escaped from death several times! The most dangerous time was to save Xiao Yi, he broke into the Mongolian camp alone.
He captured the current emperor Yardan, who is now the Mongol Yuan, and then took the hostage to perform a great escape." Shi Gandang said in a low voice.
Wan Shichang widened his eyes, "There is still this, but this is also very awesome!" He suddenly burst into laughter, "I heard that the Yaerdan country is so beautiful that our governor escorted her to escape, but he didn't
Something happened!" After a pause, he said, "But I heard that the scented woman has a scent on her body, maybe our governor doesn't like her either! But why did she let her go later?"
Shi Gandang coughed softly, "I don't know the twists and turns in it."
Looking at Shi Gandang's appearance, Wan Shichang didn't stare at his eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "Old Shi, you didn't treat me as a brother. It's obvious that you have something to hide in your stomach! Your relationship with Yan Xiaoyi is extraordinary now,
He is the old man who follows the governor again, so there must be internal news, right?
Shi Gandang laughed dryly, "We dare not talk about the right and wrong of the governor behind the scenes!"
It would be fine if you didn't say this, but once you said it, it aroused Wan Shichang's greater curiosity. "No, our governor is really in a relationship with the Queen of Mengyuan."
Shi Gandang took a sip of water, and when he heard this, he spit out all his mouthfuls and sprayed Wan Shichang all over, "I said Lao Wan, what are you thinking in your mind?"
Wan Shichang shook his head, "Mengren woman, don't care if she is a princess or not, she will be there!"
Shi Gandang laughed and said mysteriously: "I don't know if I'm here or not, but I heard from Xiao Yi that our governor had met this Yardan several times later, and they all met in private. Maybe something really happened.
!”
"Our governor is so awesome!" Wan Shichang shook his head and sighed, "He actually got into a female emperor."
"It's off topic!" Shi Gandang put the water bowl on the table, "I just said that you gave me the inspiration to break the city. It's not ridiculing you, but serious words, Lao Wan, how did you come down in the end?"
"Jumped off!" Wan Shichang widened his eyes.
"The soldiers who jumped down with you all fell to death, why didn't you die?" Shi Gandang asked, looking at him.
"I'm a tough life!" Wan Shichang said, suddenly remembering something: "When I jumped down, I grabbed the cloak!"
"Yes, you grabbed the cloak and floated down, and didn't fall to death!" Shi Gandang looked at him steadily, "Do you understand?"
"I understand what," Wan Shichang stared at him, "You mean we give each of the soldiers a cloak, and if we can't attack, we will jump down like this, so as not to fall to death!"
Shi Gandang stared at him for a while, grabbed him, pulled him to the big tent, and pointed to the mountains on both sides of Yumen Pass, "Did you see it?"
"See it!"
"Did you understand?"
"I don't understand!" Wan Shichang shook his head, looked at Shi Gandang, and suddenly jumped up with a smile in the other person's eyes, "You mean you jumped out of that, aren't you crazy?"
Shi Gandang raised his head and looked at the mountains, "I'm not crazy. Since you didn't fall to death if you jumped like this from the city, then we won't fall to death if we jumped from there."
"I'm jumping to the ground, you're jumping to the city. What if I can't land on the city, let's talk about it. I'm forced to live in death. The soldiers can have the courage to do so."
"We still have time to train the soldiers for two days, practice courage, and also let them practice how to control the direction in the air and accurately land on the city wall. Shichang, think about it, in a month of black wind
On high nights, our soldiers fell from the sky. Will the Mengren be scared at that time? At that time, we attacked both sides of the city, and Yumen Pass could not be broken. "Shi Gandang said excitedly." If successful, we can not only make the soldiers bleed less, but also
He can complete the important task of winning Yumen Pass within the time limit of the governor."
"Then, let's give it a try!" Wan Shichang's hands were trembling slightly, "Each soldier sent a cloak."
Shi Gandang walked back to the big tent with a big laugh, "The cloak is naturally not good. If the cloak is broken halfway, wouldn't the soldier die in vain?" He pointed at the big tent, "We have all the big tents."
Made of leather, he was made into a large umbrella shape, tied out the four corners with cowhide ropes. The soldier tied two cowhide ropes to his body, holding them in his hands, jumped off the cliff that was closed on the jade gate to control it.
The direction, land on the city.”
"Then how many people do we have to prepare?" Wan Shichang asked.
"This time we attacked, the total casualties have exceeded 3,000, and there are more than 12,000 people who can fight. I plan to let 3,000 people go to train for a few days. At that time, there will be only one or two people.
If a thousand people fall to the city, they will be accomplished.”
"Don't do it! Then I will be the first to jump off the cliff." Wan Shichang was ready to go," I said, I will go back."
"A little over ten miles away from here, there is a cliff about half shorter than here, which allows soldiers to train. Three days, Shichang, I will give you three days at most!" Shi Gan Dang said.
"Enough, this method depends more on courage. As long as they dare to jump down, die or live, half or half!" Wan Shichang waved his hand, "I believe our soldiers still have this courage.
.”
Ten miles away from Yumen Pass, a towering cliff was about thirty meters above the ground. The woods below had been cut down and piled up several meters of branches and leaves. On the top of the cliff, rows of soldiers were handed down.
The big umbrella made of tent cloth, but it can be seen that each of them had pale faces, and they were obviously extremely scared in their hearts. They were soldiers, and they were not afraid of death, but they would rather fight the enemy and die,
I don't want to fall to death like this.
But the army is the army, and their boss, Wan Shichang, deputy commander of the Eighth Battalion, stood first. Although he fought with the double team, he still stood there with courage, looking disapproving. General
His life is much more precious, he dares to jump, why don't I dare to jump
Wan Shichang stood at the first one at the front, looked at the cliff, which was taller than Yumen Pass, but it was much shorter than the cliff they were going to jump in the future. Even so, he was a little dizzy.
The feeling of strings.
At the foot of the mountain, Shi Gandang also looked nervously at the cliff, success or failure was here. The doctors in the army had already prepared countless medicines for falls and wounds, and the soldiers who were preparing to rescue were already in place.
Shi Gandang nodded, and the flag behind him shook, sending a signal to the cliff.
Wan Shichang looked back at the soldiers behind him and shouted loudly: "A man, what's there to be afraid of? A man dies and a bird is facing the sky, and he will never die for thousands of years. Look at me." He turned around suddenly, holding two ropes with both hands,
The soldiers behind him rushed and jumped down in awe of the screams of the soldiers.
With the experience of jumping to the level last time, Wan Shichang was much more courageous this time. When he just jumped down, he was extremely fast, but as the umbrella suddenly became bulging by the wind, he felt like he was raised upwards.
The falling speed immediately slowed down.
The wind whistled in his ears, and his eyes were pricked by the wind. He tried his best to widen his eyes, and his hands kept pulling the ropes to adjust his direction.
After a while, his feet stepped on the thick branches and leaves under his body, and his legs bent. Wan Shichang squatted on the ground, then grew up, stood on the branches, waved his hands up vigorously, and used all his body.
He shouted with strength: "Brothers, it's okay, jump!"
Seeing Wan Shichang fall to the ground safely, he ran away like a dragon and a dragon. Thunderous cheers were heard on the mountain. On the cliff, some officers led the army and jumped down from the cliff one by one, and white umbrella flowers were
Blooming in the sky.
The officer led the way, and the soldiers behind finally put aside their fear and jumped down one after another.
On the first day, more than 2,800 out of the 3,000 people landed safely, eleven people died, more than 100 were injured, and most of them broke their leg bones. These people deviated from the landing site and were panicked.
, so much that he lost control and fell directly from the air.
