Chapter 175 Flying up the cliff

Tian Pengzu's analysis is generally reasonable.

Xiahou Xuan was attacked by the Yan army's inflated forces and thought that tens of thousands of troops were besieging him. He was so scared that he lost Ye County without much resistance.

In this situation, Gongsun Xiu was facing two large armies of Wei, one lord and one leap. If he really had the strength to divide troops to Qingzhou to reinforce, he would have done this long ago. The result of the division of troops was that he was short of troops. He was defeated by Cao Shuang in one fell swoop and the entire Liaodong would be lost.

The first time was fake, and the second time was of course fake. The Yan army was already exhausted and could no longer change the situation.

Tian Pengzu was sure in his heart: "Xiahou Xuan will be deceived, but he can't deceive us. If we can send troops to defeat him, the island chain may be able to be recaptured. Now, in this situation of being attacked from both sides, and trying to pretend to be a new force, he really treats the civil and military ministers of Qingzhou as stupid people."

Tian Pengzu smiled faintly: "Immediately transfer two thousand people and let me personally go there to defeat them to see if they can still pretend."

Han Sheng was shocked: "Young Master, since you know it is fake, just ignore him and just sit in the city gate. If you take risks and pursue it, there may be danger."

Tian Pengzu stretched out a finger, shook it in front of him, and said seriously: "Han Changshi doesn't know anything. Although we know it's fake, the men, women, young and old, officials in Qingzhou don't know the truth or falsehood. They really regard the Yan thief as a god who can cast spells and magic tricks and transforms into soldiers with grass men. I'm sending troops to attack him this time, one is to smash the rumors, and the other is to destroy the remaining enemy troops. The enemy ship that seemed to be loaded with large troops fled when I saw me. Qingzhou is as timid as a mouse, so naturally he knows the truth."

Han Sheng smiled bitterly and had to agree. He believed in 70% or 80% of the time, only to feel that Tian Pengzu's move would definitely win if he sent troops.

Immediately summoned two thousand elite troops of the Wei army. Tian Pengzu was wearing armor, the tassel on his helmet was extremely dazzling, and he rode a tall horse under his crotch.

The city gate of Huang County slowly opened, and the two thousand soldiers rolled up dust and headed straight for the coast.

Jiuzhang Cliff.

This is a lonely cliff standing by the sea. As its name suggests, it is as high as nine feet tall, and it is extremely steep and the cliff wall is almost vertical. This is a wonder formed by the erosion and corrosion of the sea water for countless millions of years.

And now, seven thousand Yan soldiers are about to climb this extremely high cliff.

Deng Zhong reached out and touched the smooth moss of the cliff wall, couldn't help but frown, and said in surprise: "General Yang, this - this is so cliff, not to mention the towering heights, the cliff wall is so smooth, how to climb?"

The name of Jiuzhang Cliff is not an imaginary number, but a real Jiuzhang.

It is converted into thirty meters. According to the height of the building built in later generations, the height of the contract is 8 stories high.

If you fall down at such a height, you will basically be a pile of meat paste.

Yang Zuo smiled and said, "It's okay. The king had already thought about how to climb up, and he had already made a batch of cliff-climbing weapons."

Under his command, the civilian ship not only carried a large number of ropes off the ship, but also took down thousands of pairs of special military shoes.

The style and texture of the heel are no different from ordinary shoes. The only difference is that the insole is an iron piece with nails nailed into the iron piece. Each shoe poked seven or eight nail tips from the sole.

Deng Zhong knew that no matter how smooth the cliff wall was, it could produce some grip. It was an extremely clever thing.

Everyone changed into special military shoes, while all the civilian ships returned to the voyage, seducing the Wei army's gaze between the various docks.

Yang Zuo looked at the Yan army lined up under the cliff and smiled, "Who can be the first to climb up and reward a thousand gold."

With this command, even if Jiuzhang Cliff is intimidating, many Yan soldiers raised their arms high and wanted to be the first to climb to the top of the cliff.

One of the short soldiers came to him and raised his hand and said, "General, I will try it out."

Seeing that he was short and stunned, Yang Zuo couldn't help but sneer and said, "Can you be the short guy do it?"

The short soldier smiled and said, "I often climb mountains and trees, so there is definitely no problem, please don't worry, general."

Yang Zuo said: "What's your name?"

The shorter man said: "General, his humble profession is called Chu Hui."

"good."

Yang Zuo turned his eyes to the deputy general who was standing aside and ordered: "Remember the name of the cliff who took the lead in climbing the cliff, and reward the daughters who successfully climbed the cliff. If he unfortunately fell to death, he would be able to pay his parents."

The deputy general hurriedly said: "Yes."

The cliff is almost vertical, and the cliff is bare and has no stress points. Fortunately, the cliff is cracked and there are still gaps of all sizes to focus on, so you won’t be able to do anything.

Yang Zuo first picked out thirty people to climb the cliff at the same time. All of these thirty people were masterful veterans and had extremely high talent for climbing cliffs. Each of them had a rope tied around their waists, and they had to take the rope to the cliffs.

Chu Hui spitted into his palms, poked hard, then hugged the two short handles around his waist in his hand, and climbed down bravely.

Although he was short, the moment he jumped up, the inverted hook in his hand penetrated into the cliff. With a "click", he hooked tightly, and his right arm exerted force, and his whole person rushed up a few feet. Then the inverted hook in his left hand also strode upwards, hooking the higher place, and in a short while he climbed more than two feet.

Yang Zuo and Deng Zhong's eyes lit up at the same time, thinking that although this kid is short, his arms are strong and his body is flexible, he is an excellent candidate for climbing cliffs.

Thirty people climbed up desperately, and the rope tied between their waists was like long tails. From time to time, someone climbed to a height of six or seven feet and fell down. He fell down with screams. With a loud "bang", the brain was mixed with blood all over the floor.

Yang Zuo's face did not change and said coldly: "Continue to go."

The Yan army was no longer afraid, and jumped out seven or eight people to untied the ropes from the dead bodies, tied them around their waists, and climbed up desperately.

There is a huge problem with such cliff climbing, which is that you climb up all the way without any protective measures. Once the gravel on the cliff is loose or you lose your strength, you will basically not even need to be treated.

Chu Hui struggled to climb to about seven feet, and there was a gap about two feet the size of a bulge, giving him a place to sit. When he climbed to such a high position, no one could eat or bear the physical strength.

Chu Hui let out a long sigh, and the short handle of his right hand pierced straight into the cliff above his head. The cliff wall was extremely deep, and the three-foot-long reverse hook was gone and it was firmly stuck.

Yang Zuo was shocked at the cliff and thought that it was only about two feet away from the last, and shouted: "Remember to keep your body steady. If you stand steadily, you will have a rest for a while and you will be two feet away from the top of the cliff."

Chu Hui was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to respond. He was only two feet big at the foot and could not turn around. He could only reach out and wave it behind him, indicating that he was fine.

At this moment, a Yan army on the upper left slipped under his feet and fell straight from mid-air. With screams, he waved his hands around, and was about to hit Chu Hui.

Everyone was shocked. Chu Hui knew that he would not be able to stand firm when he hit his elbow, but he was in the air and had no way to avoid it. He immediately turned his heart, grabbed the rope around his waist, and walked around the inverted hook inserted into the cliff wall twice.

With a "bang", Chu Hui was hit by the other party's shoulder, and his body shook, and the two fell down quickly.

Chu Hui quickly grabbed the rope in his hand, and saw the rope tied to Chu Hui's body rushing upwards frantically. Yang Zuo's heart was shocked, and he immediately stepped forward without saying a word to grab the rope and pulled it downwards.

With enough strength to pull, Chu Hui's speed of falling down stopped immediately, and his whole body was swaying in the air.

He was so scared that his face was pale. When he looked down, it was the former general Yang Zuo who grabbed the rope, which prevented the fate of breaking his bones and tendons. The soldier who knocked him down was not so lucky. He fell firmly at Yang Zuo's feet, and blood splattered all over Yang Zuo.

Yang Zuo's face turned red, his arms were rushing, and his steps were inevitably a little sluggish.

At this time, seven or eight Yan soldiers surrounded him and helped Yang Zuo pull the rope.

Chu Hui wrapped the rope around his waist around his back hook, and at this time it turned out to be a pulley.

Yang Zuo pulled the rope down with several force, and Chu Hui rose a few feet. With his quick movements, he quickly climbed back to his original place.

"call--"

Chu Hui breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that he was about two feet tall, he stood at the foot point wide, untied the rope around his waist, tied the head of the rope to the hook, and increased the counterweight. He threw it hard for a few times, and threw it up as if he was lucky.

The throwing rope ran upwards two feet and flew to the top of the cliff.

Amid the cheers, Chu Hui slowly pulled the rope. Suddenly, the inverted hook tied to the rope became extremely stable. He pulled the rope down a few times and found that it was not moving at all. It should have hooked the cracks on the rocks on the top of the cliff or entangled trees.

This made it much more convenient. Chu Hui grabbed the rope with both hands, climbed the last two feet at a speed of two, and finally successfully climbed the nine-zhang cliff.

Yang Zuo was overjoyed and said loudly: "If you are surnamed Chu, pull the rope upwards."

Chu Hui took a break for a while, then he turned his eyes around, and then he found that the thrown upside down hook was exactly stuck between the two pieces of granite.

Next, it was easy to deal with. According to Yang Zuo's instructions, Chu Hui quickly pulled the rope upwards, and soon pulled up the rope seven or eight feet long. The Yan army under the cliff spread out the huge rope net woven with thick ropes in advance.

Chu Hui pulled a corner up and put the end on the granite on the top of the cliff.

This made it easy to build a rope net that was nine feet long close to the cliff.

Taking advantage of the night, seven thousand Yan soldiers began to climb up the rope net. Everyone had the rope net and wore nail shoes that were extremely tightly grasping the wall. It was easier to climb Jiuzhang Cliff to climb more than a thousand times.

It took about several hours before the Yan army all climbed the Jiuzhang Cliff.

Yang Zuo was also very tired. Seeing that seven thousand people climbed up the ropes, they had nothing but weapons and dry food that could eat for three days, and the war horses could not come from Jiuzhang Cliff.

He ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot for a night, and sat down in the corner with Deng Zhong, and said happily in pain: "I think my Liaodong cavalry in Dayan is so powerful that Haidong, but I didn't expect that in order to attack Huang County, we would turn from cavalry to infantry."

Deng Zhong was exhausted. When he heard Yang Zuo telling a joke, he laughed a few times: "Even if the seven thousand people are infantry, it can still break Huang County. Once this place is captured, the food route that Wei State supports Cao Shuang will be changed."

Yang Zuo also nodded, "Sima Yi built a granary in Huang County and transported it to Liaodong."

"Now I'm not afraid, just take a night off."

Deng Zhong beat his waist, looked at the quiet and empty Jiuzhang Cliff, and smiled and said, "The quiet needles here can be heard, and the Wei army would never have imagined that we would climb the city here, and there was not even a patrol person."

Yang Zuo couldn't help laughing: "The Wei army would naturally not be so stupid that we think we are even more stupid. If you choose such a place to land, you would think that everyone in Yan army had wings on their backs and could leapt over such a cliff like a bird."

The two laughed together.

The next morning, the scout who had agreed to meet Jiuzhangya came immediately and said excitedly: "General, I have seen more than 2,000 Wei troops heading straight to the coast in Huangxian, with great momentum."

Yang Zuo was overjoyed when he heard this, stood up suddenly and said with a smile: "It seems that the garrison stationed in Huang County has been trapped. He thought that our army would use the trick of inflating troops for the second time. However, he never thought that the truth and reality were a coincidence. The last time it was a false army, but this time it was a true."

Deng Zhong also got up and frowned and said, "We have to find out clearly. Who is the one who led two thousand men to run along the coast? If Cheng Pei is a bit tricky, it means that Tian Pengzu is still in Huang County. Cheng Pei and others are not worth worrying about, but Tian's surname is not easy to deal with."

He and Tian Pengzu also understood the terrifying aspects of both sides during the fierce battle between Nanchangshan Island, and he felt that heroes cherished heroes.

Yang Zuo thought that even Deng Zhong said it was difficult, that was really difficult, and frowned and said, "Talk again and report again!"

The scout immediately got off the cliff.

It was not until the evening when he came back. The scout rushed straight to the cliff and said happily: "Report to General Yang, Deng Xianfeng, the commander of the two thousand Wei troops was Tian Pengzu."

Deng Zhong immediately looked happy and said to Yang Zuo: "General Yang, you can take Huang County with all your might. He is not afraid of the 2,000 soldiers and horses in Huang County, but only fears this one. If it is not easy for him to deceive the city, Huang County will be as solid as a god. Although we are all, we cannot quickly obtain the city. If Cheng Pei and others are, they will be native chickens and tiles and dogs, and they can be captured in one battle."

Seven thousand people were all light soldiers and had little dry food on their bodies, which could not last for several days. At this time, the people along the coast were "fearing swallows like tigers", and they had long known that many of them had fled into the mountains to take refuge with their elderly and young children.

Even if you want to be a rioter who grabs food, you can rely on the empty houses in every room, and the food you grab is not enough for the army to get stuck in the gaps.

"Very good, go to Fahuang County immediately."

Yang Zuo laughed loudly, and under his instructions, seven thousand people quickly got off the cliff and headed straight for Huang County.

Jiuzhangya is not far from Huang County, only more than 60 miles. At this time, the Yan army was determined to fight to the death. There was no extra baggage, and the individual soldiers were carrying the weight and only had inseparable weapons and dry food.

It is almost no difficulty to reach Huang County by a fast march. What is currently missing is not soldiers, but food and grass.

Or, what is missing is time!

At this time, Huangxian was transferred out of two thousand Wei cavalry, and Han Sheng led the remaining two thousand people.

Han Sheng was walking on the top of the city, looking at him, talking to himself, and he was silently ecstatic and thought to himself: "I always feel something is wrong, but I can't say it."
