Chapter 76: Battle of the Rope Bridge

"Go up and drive all the Anxi Army out of the cable bridge."

"Kill! All the miscellaneous people in the Marquis' Mansion will go to Jianyuan to take a bath." The fat man held two short-handled and large copper hammers, and smashed the two shield soldiers of the Shu army into Jianyuan with one hammer.

He was very unlucky and was shot into the thigh by the enemy's stray arrow through the shield. The monkey held a saber in front of him, and retreated to the back of the cable bridge under the cover of the shield soldiers.

At this time, an arrow was still inserted into his left thigh, covered in blood. He looked up and saw that the cable bridge less than 50 meters long had been halfway down by the Shu army. He felt anxious, "Send the order, replace the rear army. Change the shield soldiers to the basement, push all the enemies down the abyss." After giving the order, the monkey helped him retreat back to the shore and said anxiously, "Boss, how about it?"

Gripping his teeth, "It's okay, I shot through the flesh and didn't touch the bones. I took the strong wine, cut the tail of the arrow and pulled it out from behind."

The monkey immediately took out the strong wine from behind, bit off the plug, and poured it on his thigh. "Boss, hold it back."

"fall"

When the strong wine touched the wound, it hurt so much that it made me feel cold. I grabbed the arrow behind my legs and whistled hard, and the arrow was pulled out, and the blood kept flowing. The monkey hurriedly took the ribbon, poured the strong wine to disinfect it, and circled it for five or six times to stop the blood. "Boss, you're resting here, I'll avenge you."

The monkey got up and was about to move, but he called him "Wait". He gasped and continued, "Tell the fat man, take all the shield soldiers to the left side of the middle. Monkey, you can take people to remove all the right bridge boards of the cable bridge for me."

The monkey was stunned, "Boss, take off the right bridge board, isn't the width of the cable bridge narrower?"

"I will explain to you later, and I will go and remove the right bridge board."

The monkey was not hesitating, holding the saber, and shouting, "Brothers, follow me..."

There was no way to let the monkey break the right bridge board. Last night, Zhao Chunsan and others chased him up and told him a message: the enemy had learned about the military situation. After hearing this news, he stopped resting, so he hurriedly called the team to cross the mountains overnight. Time! He climbed for a whole night before crossing the last Qinling Mountains, and rested for two hours and rushed to the cable bridge. He didn't want to burn the plank road or demolish the cable bridge. The only way was to pull the bridge board. Anyway, he only needed to cut off his Yue Zhongren's two months of repair.

As a result, the Shu army naturally retreated. But when they first occupied the cable bridge, Xu Li and the opposite side also arrived with the Shu army. What else can you say? Fight! Fight from morning to afternoon. His 30,000 troops were all new recruits, and they were no match for the Shu army at all. They were pushed from the south of the bridge to the bridge. If the Shu army continued like this, they would definitely be knocked out of the cable bridge. After the right board of the cable bridge was demolished, they wanted to narrow the bridge deck and flatten the gap in combat between the two sides. Otherwise, the more than ten battles would be wide, and the 30,000 new recruits would be a loss.

There were only the thousands of Zhenzhou veterans behind Fatty. After most of the day, not many of them died in battle, and many of them were squeezed into the abyss by the Shu army. If there weren't these thousands of Zhenzhou veterans, Suoqiao would have been taken away by Xu Li.

He reached out and asked the guards to help him up, looked at the bridge deck, wiped the blood on his face, "Send the order, the fat man holds the middle and leaves the left pass, and let the monkey remove the bridge board behind the fat man."

...

The monkey just led his men to tear off the right bridge deck, but before he could get back to the middle, a messenger told him: "The lord has an order, and ask the general to tear down the middle bridge deck."

Looking up at the front, the fat man was still squeezing backwards step by step. Time is limited. "Go and remove the middle bridge board."

...

On the south bank of the cable bridge, Xu Li looked at the bridge deck battlefield with some doubts. Why did he move forward and move all to the left? At this time, a guard came to report to "Report... General, the enemy pulled the right rear bridge board, would he let the army retreat some?"

Xu Li was shocked, "The right bridge board in front was pulled by the enemy? No, I'll send an order and push me to the opposite side at all costs." He was also anxious. He pushed the cable bridge that was less than fifty battles for thirty battles. The enemy pulled the bridge board, obviously feeling that he could not fight against the Shu army, and was preparing to dismantle the last twenty bridge boards. Now the right bridge board has been removed by the enemy, so next it will be in the middle, and then on the left, and there is no bridge board. Then how can his 40,000 troops go over? How can the supply team go over?

The monkey was about to remove the bridge board when he was suddenly interrupted by the retreating recruits. He stood up and looked forward. No, the fat man couldn't bear it anymore. The enemy increased the attack and forced the fat man to retreat. The recruits on both sides were squeezed into the abyss by the enemy one after another. Then he shouted, "Don't demolish them anymore, hold on to the enemy with me first."

The fat man is suffering now. He encountered this kind of battle against the weak when he first went to the battlefield. Although he was a general in charge, what was different from other recruits? Relying on his large size and strength, he led thousands of veterans to withstand the enemy for a long time. The shield formation was arranged for him before the boss was injured, but now he was covered in knife wounds. If it weren't for the thick skin and flesh, he would have been hacked to death (it was too big, not as big as that). He held the double hammers and shouted, "Monkey, have you finished dismantling it? I can't stand it anymore."

The monkey responded later, "There is no time to tear the enemy back first."

"What should I do?"

...

Standing on the shore, watching the battle on the bridge. "Damn it, can't even remove the bridge board?" The twenty-fighting rope bridge was killed by the Shu army again. What's wrong with the Shu army being crazy? In order to drive him out of the rope bridge, he didn't even want the lives of the soldiers? I don't know how many people were squeezed into the abyss by their own people. How could so many people be stuffed into the cable bridge with more than ten wide rope bridges? It's crazy. But no matter how crazy you are, the north bridge board was drawn. As he said that, he threw away the guards, picked up the saber, and limped towards the rope bridge...

"Send the order, let the fat man take his people back and the monkey will push it up."

Thanks to these more than 3,000 Zhenzhou veterans, more than 30,000 new recruits would have been crushed by the Shu army. The North Bridge board was pulled, and there was only eight battles left to the left. As long as the soldiers approached the right, they would be squeezed into the abyss in an instant. The Shu army did not care about human lives, and the shield soldiers did not know how much they had been squeezed down by their own people. But he had to care about human lives. Thirty thousand new recruits had to piece together to get together. How could they consume like this? Such a congested bridge deck, without him, he would definitely be defeated. After all, the new recruits were not as strong as the veterans' mental capacity, and they had to change their strategies.

While walking towards the cable bridge, he muttered, "Xu Li, Xu Li, are you a general in Shuzhou uncomfortable? You can tolerate becoming a vanguard officer. You are really loyal to Yue Qunshan. Don't think that my 30,000 new recruits must not be your opponent of your 40,000 Shu army. For combat strength, I admit that the Shu army is very strong, but for military strategy, you Xu Li... are not qualified."

"Oh! I understand, the boss said that I am a little arrogant and competitive, and it is easy to get rid of things."

"I didn't say it, you said it yourself. But that's about that."

"Hey! It's obvious that I don't have that body..."

...

——

At the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, the intersection of Shu Road. "The Great Elder, I found out that they are all civilians, and there is not a single Shu army."

Wang Laogou thought for a while, "Have you seen Xu Li?"

The disciple shook his head, "No, only the civil servants."

After listening to the report from his subordinates, he thought for a while. Only the civil servants? Could it be that Xu Li led the Shu army to rush forward first? It is probably so. Zheng Yunxiao brought the news to Xu Li. He was afraid that the gang leader would really demolish the cable bridge and burn the plank road, so he led the gang to the road ahead of time. I wonder if the gang leader succeeded. If it failed... no, he could not fail. Now the transport team is all civil servants. This is a good opportunity. If all the supplies can be burned... But these tens of thousands of wheelbarrows are not easy to burn. What should I do? Thinking of this, I looked up and asked, "How many crossbows do we have?"

"The standard configuration is twenty pieces per person, and the actual configuration is thirty pieces per person."

Each person has thirty arrows, 170 people are 5,100, and the enemy is 30,000 to 40,000 transport vehicles. Well, there is no need to burn them all, put five thousand at the two ends and the middle point, and how much can it spread.

Late at night, the dark ones reached out and saw his five fingers. "Send the command, the first rocket is a signal, and the fourth update takes action."

...

"Are you ready?"

"Elder, all are ready."

"Well, the enemy is resting. Take a few people with you to go over and order a batch of them first."

"yes"

More than 100,000 civilians rushed for a day, and they were already exhausted. The fourth day was the most sleepy time. A civilian was awakened by urination and got up in a daze. When he heard the sound of "I'm afraid, I'm afraid", his head turned... He didn't even have time to mention "Muwazi, are still sleeping? Fires, get up and put out the fire!"

Wang Laogou sent someone to light the fire, but the enemy noticed it within an hour and quickly ordered "setting the rocket", "swoosh, swish, swish..."

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, get weapons...", "Extinguish fire, extinguish fire..."

For a time, the Shu army transport team was in a mess. Some civilians were timid and frightened when they heard the enemy attack. One ran away, and two...

OK, Wang Laogou originally thought it would be difficult to burn supplies. More than 100,000 civilians put such pressure on him, but he didn't expect that this would end up being the result.

In fact, this is normal. The civil servants are all ordinary people, not soldiers, and it has nothing to do with the number of people. If the vanguard officer escorts the supplies, if the civil servants hire them, they will send a large number of troops to protect them. However, all the Shu army was taken by Xu Li to grab the road ahead. It would be strange if the civil servants without military protection heard that the enemy attacked them and did not make a mess.

Wang Laogou's bold raid this time helped his gang leader a great help. Zheng Yunxiao leaked the news and came back by accident. It was really: there was no way out after mountains and rivers, and there was another village with dark willows and flowers.

When he burned down the supply of the Shu army, what about the gang leader?

...

———

The monkey hurried over, "Boss, spies are here to report that the Shu army is less than two miles away from us. What should we do?"

With a saber, he put on a blindfold and looked forward, "The cable bridge is about two days away from the plank road. We have not rested all night since last night. Now it is almost half a day away from the plank road. Let's send orders and the whole army enters the Qinling Mountains."

"Uh?⊙? Now entering Qinling Mountains? There is no news about the fat man's place!"

"You can't wait for the fat man anymore. The brothers have not had a rest for two days and one night. It's another trouble to let Xu Li catch up. There is no way, and you can compete with the Shu army for physical strength. These more than 10,000 new recruits are no match for them. Moreover, I believe in the fat man."

The monkey thought about it, the combat effectiveness of the Shu army was indeed stronger than that of himself. "The person came and ordered all the teams to enter the mountain."

In a battle of cable bridges, 30,000 new recruits lost more than 10,000. However, Xu Li was even more cruel and took the cable bridges at all costs. The loss was at least about 20,000. This was still the case of having an advantage and his personal command, otherwise these 30,000 new recruits would be killed by Xu Li. He stepped into the Qinling Mountains again with more than 10,000 new recruits. When he came, he brought 15 days of food rations and forced to cross the six Qinling Mountains for 11 days, saving consumption of two more days. He fought a day's battle and ran another night, consuming a day's amount, which means that there were still five days left. When he entered the mountain, he was thrown out of the Yuxia Mountains. It took eleven days to cross the Qinling Mountains. As long as he survived six days, he would have food to eat after leaving the Qinling Mountains. Sighing, "Oh! He was born to be hungry."

...

On Xu Li's side, "Report... General, the enemy entered the Qinling Mountains."

Hum? Didn’t go to the plank road? What does it mean to go directly into the mountain? Don’t the other party want to burn the plank road? Or is there any other way to cut off my supply route? Thinking of this, it’s not good. If there is any problem, you must be on the rope bridge. "Come on, go to the rope bridge to see it. If there is any problem, report it immediately and do not delay." As soon as the words were finished, a messenger rushed over, "General, something happened to the rope bridge."

"What? What's wrong with Suoqiao?" Xu Li asked with his eyes wide open.

"The cable bridge, the cable bridge was attacked by the enemy from the southern section, and the three thousand defenders did not block the enemy. The bridge board, the bridge board was demolished by the enemy."

"I'm careless, really careless." Xu Li browed. How can I pass without a bridge? How long does it take to get around Jianyuan from Qinling? The transport vehicle cannot enter Qinling at all. The bridge repair has to go back to Lizhou. It takes more than a month to repair the bridge. The little marquis couldn't stand it for so long. There was no way, so the bridge still had to be repaired. "Come here, go to Baling and tell the little marquis that the bridge was demolished by the enemy. The supply date would be delayed for a while. But I will find a way to deliver the supply within one and a half months."

...

But he didn't know that if he just built a rope bridge, he might have to hurry up and get it done in a month and a half. But after he went back, he realized that the Baling War had been considered a failure.
