Chapter 1098: Special Operations
When he arrived at Liu Bei's palace in Jiange Pass, Wu Lan found that he had come too late, and right now, the palace was crowded with people inside and outside. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Inside were the major generals of the Shu Kingdom, and outside were the personal guards, and with their arrival, the entire Sword Pavilion Pass was alarmed.
Without receiving a military order, ordinary soldiers did not dare to light a fire or go out, but they all opened the door and looked out. The night wind sometimes sends the whispers of the soldiers to the palace, and there will be a burst of discussion in the palace.
"What's the noise? Then Li Yi is clearly playing tricks, this is harassment in disguise, you guys don't even know if they are tricked! Liu Bei was angry and yelled angrily.
After the Tang army arrived at the Sword Pavilion Pass, it had been attacking the pass for more than half a month, and seeing that the momentum was about to fall to a low point, his opportunity would come. As a result, these idiots didn't know what they were thinking, and the other party sent a few women to sing and put a few rockets, and one by one they came to them hysterically.
However, now it is up to these people to guard the pass, so Liu Bei can only suppress the anger in his heart, and say to the generals: "Don't say that Li Yi has no spells, even if he really has it, there is a Sword Pavilion Guan Tian to protect him, what are you afraid of?" Give me a hurry back, don't be attacked by the Tang Army! ”
What Liu Bei said makes sense, but many things in the world are not useful if they are reasonable, and the leaders look at each other, their mouths respond, but they don't move at all.
Seeing everyone's expressions in his eyes, Liu Bei became more and more angry, and when he was about to be furious, he suddenly heard a deafening noise outside the tent, which was obviously made by the sergeants and soldiers on duty outside the tent. He shouted in his heart, and the generals of Shu also showed a shocked look on their faces, and hurriedly ran out of the palace.
Wu Lan came late, and his location was in the outermost area, so he came out the fastest, and he was the first to see the shocking changes outside, which made him tremble and be shocked.
"The sky is above, Li Yi's spells, his spells, are really ......"
……
It will be the top of the mountain, and the mountains will be seen at a glance.
In fact, the absolute altitude of Jianmen Mountain is only more than 1,000 meters, which is not much outstanding in the land of China. However, given the surrounding geography, the situation is different.
Jianmen Mountain was called Liangshan in ancient times, it is composed of big and small Jianshan Mountain, it is the southwest section of Jianmen Mountain Range, its mountains are steep and horizontal, the precipice is towering, it winds and stretches from northeast to southwest, it is more than 100 miles long, and it is magnificent. The main peak of Dajian Mountain, the peak is like a sword insertion, the stone wall is horizontal, the forest is like a city, the cliff is interrupted, the two cliffs are confronted, a line is passed in the middle, and the shape is like a gate.
Of course, you can only feel this way when you climb the mountain during the day, and when you climb the mountain in the middle of the night, and it is in the dark clouds, you will only feel a moment of confusion when you look out, because you can't see anything. If it weren't for the fact that this hillside was sorted out in advance and clearly indicated the direction, even a special soldier like Li Yi, who had received professional wilderness survival training, would definitely feel dizzy when the night was at its peak.
At night more than 1,800 years ago, it was too dark.
Later generations of airplanes flew at a higher altitude than Dajian Mountain, but from the porthole, you can still see some lights. But now, no matter how you look at it, it is only pitch black, and it was not until the signals halfway up the mountain were transmitted layer by layer that Li Yi knew the latest movements of the Sword Pavilion Pass.
"Your Majesty?" Luo Cheng looked at Li Yi and asked for instructions.
"Well, let's get started." Li Yi nodded.
At the moment on the eve of the decisive battle, it should have been full of ambition and pride, however, although the other party didn't feel it, Li Yi always felt a sense of disobedience when he looked at Luo Cheng's outfit.
Luo Cheng was not wearing armor, but thick cotton clothes, and the sturdy linen cloth was filled with cotton wool. The limbs were also tied with thick linen, which looked very bloated and a little funny.
Especially when Li Yi thought of the identity of the other party, the sense of disobedience became stronger. You must know that the person in front of you is Luo Cheng, a famous general in romance, famous for being handsome and chic.
Luo Cheng himself didn't feel anything, in fact, including Li Yi, the 1,000 Tang special forces on the mountain were all dressed similarly, with the exception of a few auxiliary personnel who did not participate in the war.
This is not to keep out the cold, after all, it is the height of summer in July, even at night at the top of Dajian Mountain at an altitude of more than 1,300 meters, the temperature is about 20 degrees, and it is no problem to wear thin single clothes.
Looking around at everyone, Li Yi saw a hundred eyes full of firm and warlike intent, and of course, nervousness was inevitable.
Although it has been practiced many times, when it comes to the actual battle, even with Luo Cheng's bravery and composure, his heart is a little unreliable. After all, the tactics used in this battle are too unbelievable, if it weren't for the Wude Emperor Li Yi who proposed and organized the training, who would dare to believe that people can actually fly in the sky?
After Li Yi's hand-in-hand teaching and countless drills from easy to difficult, the soldiers have mastered the skills proficiently.
However, when it comes to actual combat, any minor accident can lead to a major accident.
There was an accident at an altitude of several hundred meters, and there was only one result, and that was death.
Even if the accident is born at the last moment, it will still be fatal, because what this strange army wants to do is to raid the enemy camp with 60,000 troops stationed!
"Brothers, are you nervous? Scared? Li Yi asked suddenly.
Everyone was a little apprehensive when they heard that the emperor actually called him a brother, but after a long training, they still replied in unison: "No! ”
Li Yi patted the glider placed next to him, and laughed loudly: "Actually, it's nothing to be nervous, to be honest, I'm also a little nervous." It's really hard to say whether this big kite will work or not. ”
This thing is made of wooden frames and oilcloth. The degree of solidity is certainly incomparable with that made of alloys in later generations. The distance from here to the Sword Pavilion Pass is quite far, and in such a dark night, it is difficult to say that there will be any accidents, and it is false to say that you are not nervous.
For this reason, the generals in the Tang army were all strongly opposed to Li Yi's participation in such a dangerous operation, but Li Yi's persistence, coupled with his outstanding strength in training, persuaded the Tang army's generals to personally lead the first surprise attack from the air in history.
"However, we have been practicing a lot these days, and the blood and sweat shed during training will not be in vain! Maybe someone can't complete the journey, maybe the raid won't have the desired effect, and even if everything goes well, they may die in the chaos......"
Li Yi's voice was a little low, Luo Cheng saw this, and was about to say something, but saw Li Yi wave his hand to him, and immediately, the emperor's tone returned to his usual high-spiritedness: "The crockpot is not broken from the well, the general will inevitably die in battle, I can't guarantee the safety of my brothers, but you can rest assured, as long as I don't die, the families of the war dead will be supported by me." Even if I die in battle, there are still people in the Tang royal family. So, don't worry about anything, it's the same as the usual drills......"
Li Yi stretched out his hand, finally tested the wind direction, and then waved his hand heavily, and said categorically: "The big camp under the mountain will send a signal to us to navigate, follow the north wind, let's fly over together, and scare the Shu army into dissipation!" ”
The reason why Li Yi delayed this raid for so long was not only to allow the soldiers to be trained, but also to wait for the wind to change. After all, it's the height of summer, and most of the time the wind blows from the south. And if the Tang army wants to glide to the Sword Pavilion Pass in the south, it can only wait until the north wind blows.
Tonight, it's just when the north wind blows.
"Obey!"
"Scare those cowards of Shu to death!"
"Scare them to death! So that they will never dare to fight with my Datang again! ”
……
Listening to what Wang Yu said was interesting, everyone laughed, and the tense atmosphere was swept away.
The most fundamental tone of this surprise attack is to pretend to be a ghost to scare people. Otherwise, even if they could fly into the Sword Pavilion Pass by surprise and launch a surprise attack, how could a thousand people have an army of 60,000?
Seeing that the emotions of the soldiers were mobilized, Li Yi waved his hand and ordered: "Let's go, Shixin will go first, and I will press the formation!" ”
"Whoa!" Luo Cheng promised and took the lead to the top of the slope.
The place where everyone is located is a natural ramp at the top of Dajian Mountain, the ramp is inclined downward in an arc of about 30 degrees, and the overall length is about 100 zhang. Due to the natural topography, it only needs to be lightly modified to be put into use as a runway for gliders to take off.
Luo Cheng lifted a glider and began to run. At first, he held the glider, and when he was halfway through the run, the glider was already light; After running for a while, I saw that the front end of the glider was raised, and it flew up quickly, soaring upward; Finally, in a burst of cheers, it disappeared into the depths of the night sky.
These thousand people, all of whom have been selected and trained for many years, are the strongest army in this era, even Li Yi's personal guards are not comparable, courage and martial arts are all strong, even if there is no Li Yi's morale boost, they will not hesitate, and at this moment they are even more imposing.
Immediately after Luo Cheng, one after another gliders repeated the fast run, taking one loyal warrior after another, flying into the depths of the night sky.
Looking at their figures, Li Yi seemed to see a sharp blade, which was plunging into the heart of the enemy with unstoppable momentum!
The time for a thousand gliders to take off is a long time, but in fact it is very short. Because for every batch of takeoffs, there are ten people. They lined up on the hillside, starting, sprinting, taking off...... Each cycle takes about ten seconds. About 50 people can take off in a minute, and 1,000 people is just 20 minutes.
Soon, it was Li Yi's turn.
The glider in the hand is not as heavy as expected, and it is also strong. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Mo Zhai, the ancestor of the Mo family, created a wooden bird that could fly into the sky, and later after Lu Ban's improvement, there were kites in later generations.
