Chapter 60 The terrain exploration staff was dispatched, but was blocked by the enemy's cliff
The stars twinkled, and the glow sprinkled the land. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Chang looked at the cliffs around him, and sighed without surprise: "That rainstorm was really powerful, but I didn't expect that it really created a mudslide here and blocked this river." And looking at it like this, there is only a lot of water accumulated here. ”
"Of course. But do you think this water can submerge the entire Yushe City?" Zhao Zhi asked.
Behind the two men, more than a dozen staff officers began to work under the command of the two of them, and they pulled out the long rope of the bearer in their hands and began to measure the length, width and height of the mud and rock pile, so as to provide enough data to support the future plan.
Not far away, there were also about 100 people wearing iron armor and holding longbows to protect them from being attacked by enemies such as jackals, tigers, leopards, or Tartars that suddenly appeared around them, so as to ensure the safety of the people.
"Even if it's not enough, there's that rainstorm. Looking at the calm lake in a daze, Li Chang sighed suddenly.
In his eyes, the lake in front of him was extremely quiet, but on both sides was a thousand feet of high mountains, which were naturally strong enough to block the entire dammed lake, and the narrow valleys on both sides had long been blocked by the debris that had collapsed due to heavy rains, forming the mud and rock piles they were currently waiting for.
The gravel pile is ten zhang high, more than three zhang wide, stretches a hundred zhang away, and forcibly blocks all the river water that flows down from above, so that the river water that continues to flow out of the mountains gathers to form a dammed lake with an area of several square kilometers and a depth of more than three zhang.
At this moment, from the dammed lake, the calm water suddenly bubbled, and more than a dozen people emerged from it.
They had already stripped off their clothes and jumped into the dammed lake to check what was going on inside.
"Kuishan, what's going on down there?" Li Chang immediately stepped forward and ordered the soldiers behind him to hand over the dry clothes and let a few people put them on.
Wiping his body clean, Kuishan looked frightened: "It's bad." The groundwater here is so complex that I've even encountered a whirlpool before, and I've almost been sucked in. Even though he was a strong swimmer, his previous experience at the bottom of the lake still terrified him and he didn't want to try it again.
Li Chang immediately asked, "Vortex?"
"That's right, it's the whirlpool. Nodding, Kuishan replied, "I've met several of them alone. ”
Thoughtfully, Li Chang turned his head, looked at Zhao Zhi with inquiry, and asked, "Since it is a whirlpool, it means that there may be gaps and cracks underneath here. The water flows out of the cracks, which is why it creates whirlpools under the lake. In other words, this mud pile under our feet is afraid that it will not last too long. ”
"That's right. And according to the current situation, this mud and rock pile is afraid that it will collapse in the near future. ”
Stepping on the gravel under his feet, Zhao Zhi's eyes condensed, and he began to silently calculate in his heart when the gravel pile under his feet would collapse.
Li Chang turned his head, but laughed: "How long do you think it will exist?"
"Three days?" Zhao Zhi asked.
Li Chang shook his head, and then said with an affirmative face: "I think it's a day!"
"One day, do you think it will be so fast?" Zhao Zhi felt a little incredulous, squatted down and pressed his hand on the pile of rubble.
Mixed with sediment, countless large and small gravel squeezed together, which is the obvious trace left by the impact of the mudslide.
This pile of rubble is a mudslide formed during the initial rainstorm, and its impact is quite large, so the entire river channel is blocked, making it difficult for the river water to follow the river and reintegrate into the turbidity river. Although the pile of rubble seemed to be hard, his keen senses could tell that there was a trickle of water flowing from within, peeling the sand off the stone, and when the earth with sufficient binder was washed away, the strength of the stone alone could not hold back such a large river.
After all, this is not a specially made dam, the stones have not been treated between them, and the soil is not sticky enough to hold the stones in place, so this pile of rubble cannot have the same bearing capacity and resistance to pressure as a man-made dam.
When the pressure reaches a certain limit, it will collapse in an instant, and the immeasurable and innumerable river will rush up, destroying everything in its path.
After a torrential rainstorm, it does not mean that a sunny day has arrived, and there are more dangers in this dangerous forest.
"If you don't believe me, we can make a bet. Li Chang smiled, as a mountain man, he can be said to know the entire Taihang Mountain well.
Although it was inconceivable that this dammed lake would collapse within a day, Zhao Zhi was interested and said with a smile: "Bet on what?"
If I win, give me the fiery gun that the Lord has given you. If I win, the fiery gun will be yours. Pointing to the fire gun behind him, Li Chang's eyes were a little eager.
As a prize to reward several staff officers for formulating battle plans, Xiao Feng gave all the rest to the staff department except for one for himself after getting those trial items, so that these young seedlings could be fully protected from being attacked by those strong warriors.
"Fire?" Zhao Zhi smiled slightly, and immediately responded.
Li Chang also smirked and said, "That's good." Then we'll wait here and see when it will collapse. In his words, it was clear that he was already full of confidence that the collapse of the lake would be within a day.

"Follow, you guys. ”
Looking at the slacking soldiers behind him, Zamahe suddenly became angry, and waved his leather whip for a while.
Reprimanded by this whip, those soldiers couldn't help but show a look of distress, and shouted "the captain who should be killed", "bastard", "so tired" and other complaining words, and then looked at the captain with an impatient look, and had to regain his spirit and continue to step on the mountain road, moving forward.
He was the general of the vanguard led by Zhong Wei, who was promoted to the rank of a hundred households after years of war, and is currently leading his soldiers to patrol the surrounding mountains. However, the terrain of this Taihang Mountain is too complicated, and as people from other places, they really can't figure out what the situation is in front of them.
No way, after the rainstorm, many places in the mountains have been changed, and they can't figure out which way to get out, which road is a dead end!
Otherwise, how could their 12,000 army be trapped in this mountain forest by the Red Phoenix Army with 7,000 soldiers and horses?
In order to ensure the safety of the entire army, Zama and Nature must be loyal to their duties and ensure the safety of the entire Yushe City.
And today, he found that his daily perseverance was not without cost, after all, on the rocks not far away, there were ropes that someone had left behind to climb.
So, he waved his hand and motioned for a few people to go back and inform the marshal of the news, while he took the rest of the people to grab the rope and climbed the same way, wanting to see what the Red Phoenix Army was doing on the top of the mountain!
But when the leader was just about to climb up, he let go of the rope with a "bang", and the whole person fell from mid-air and fell into the cliff, and the bones were gone.
"Those red demons are really planning something. Everyone, come with me at once!"
With a frightened face, Zama and Lian shouted loudly, and then felt that the rope in his hand did not feel the slightest force, and his body suddenly fell down.
In this way, it is obvious that the person above has cut the rope.
Without anything, the soldiers who were climbing immediately became frightened, and shouted and cursed again and again. But Zama He was not afraid, and looked at the surrounding environment, he immediately grabbed a raised stone next to him with his hand, stabilized his body, and with the other hand, he wrapped the rope layer by layer, and lifted his arm violently, and immediately grabbed the entire rope so that it could not fall to the ground.
After getting to a standstill, the soldiers above recovered, and one by one crawled downward, trying to get out of here quickly.
However, from the top of the mountain, Li Chang poked his head out, just swept it and sighed: "Good guy, this person's strength is really good." ”
In order to achieve such strength, the strength of both arms must be managed by a thousand catties, and even among them who belong to the same three realms of refining the body and begin to refine the true yuan in the body, their strength is far ahead.
The Mongol army dominates the world, and naturally it makes sense!
"It's a pity that you are destined to die here today. ”
Taking out the firearm behind him, Li Chang coldly aimed the muzzle of the gun at Zamahe, and then pulled the trigger.
The firelight moved slightly, and the half-suspended Zama and his body shook immediately, and then he was like a balloon that had been unloaded with air in his body, and the strength of his hand disappeared immediately, and he fell down the valley with a "bang", and even the more than ten people on the rope lost their traction and fell to death in the valley.
"Is it the Red Demons again?"
Not far away, Zhong Wei's eyes widened, and he looked at everything in front of him incredulously.
After getting the news from Zamahe, he immediately rushed here with his soldiers and horses, who would have expected that he would see such a thing just after he arrived.
In Zhong Wei's memory, Zamahe was a very powerful warrior, if his strength was displayed on the battlefield, hundreds of people would not be able to get close, but he was a fierce general galloping on the battlefield.
Now, like the broken doll and the broken kite, he was killed so simply, leaving only the broken corpse.
The muscles on his face couldn't help shaking, and Zhong Wei gave an order full of anger: "Attack me, don't let the other party escape from here." ”
The soldiers behind him immediately walked out, holding shields to protect the central military formation, and after they were there, all the soldiers bent their longbows and shot them at the people on the cliff. The arrows were gathered like rain, and they immediately pressed Li Chang, Zhao Zhi, the accompanying staff officers, and the soldiers who protected them to move, so they could only hide on the cliff to avoid the edge.
............
"I just came out to check the situation, but I didn't expect to bump into that group of guys. It's really ****** bad luck. ”
Bowing his head and scolding, Kui Shan grinned and wiped his arm, rubbing the blood away, if it wasn't for the few warriors around him who grabbed him back in time, he was afraid that the previous attack would kill him, instead of just rubbing his arm with a bloody mark.
Li Chang was also annoyed in his heart, especially when he thought of the Zhong Wei he had seen before, he felt even more nervous: "Although this is Taihang Mountain, it is only ten miles away from Yushe City. If the other party is as diligent as we are, they will naturally discover our existence. Otherwise, why would the lord want us to come with the most elite soldiers?
If their staff department is considered to be the elite existence of the Red Phoenix Army, then the soldiers under Zhong Wei are the elite among the Tartars.
Being able to find and besiege them here so quickly, that Zhongwei was obviously not an ordinary person, not to mention that that person's martial arts were also the best, if anyone in the staff met this person alone, they would be killed by him in an instant.
There is no doubt about that!
"Then what should we do next?" Zhao Zhi asked.
Although they have the same rank in the Red Feng Army, according to the various instructions made by Xiao Feng before, it is obvious that in this team exploring the dammed lake, it is Li Chang who is the leader.
Li Chang bit his lip tightly, thinking about it but never thinking of a way to break through the line, after all, Na Zhongwei's subordinates are elites, each of them is an archery master, and they are the kind of masters who can penetrate Yang in a hundred steps, and the number of them is more than five hundred, which is more than four times the strength of their squad, and the strength is far above it.
In a head-on confrontation, the staff of the staff, which numbered only a hundred people, was naturally not its opponent!
"That guy can recruit reinforcements, and so can we. A different color flashed in his eyes, and Li Chang immediately said: "Pass my order, immediately launch a signal flare, and point out to the lord where we are." Now, we can only wait for reinforcements from the lord. Otherwise, with our strength, we will not be able to repel the opponent at all. ”
"Okay, I got it. ”
Zhao Zhi immediately waved his hand and motioned for a soldier to turn on the rocket on his waist.
After he ignited the rocket with a fire breaker, the rocket immediately burst into the sky with a pitch-black flame, and exploded with a "bang", and in the clear sky, a black cloud appeared here.
The smoke is so thick that it feels very familiar at first sight.
Looking at the gradually dissipating clouds, Li Chang silently prayed in his heart: "I hope the lord can come over in time." Otherwise, we might have all folded here. There was still fear and fear in his eyes, and he found that when he was facing death, he still couldn't face death calmly like the legendary warrior.
However, how can there really be a person in this world who is not afraid of life and death? )
