Chapter 724 Mustang Valley Challenge (5)(1/2)
"Continuing to try our luck here will not lead to good results. The five bridges in the third round are already like this. It will be more and more difficult to arrest later, so we will have to bet. The further we go, the more bridges we get, and we bet
The probability of being right is lower, so we must cross the river and go to the other side of the river. We don’t have to take pains to choose which bridge to guard. At least we can capture the wild horses based on our skills instead of letting most of the soldiers wait needlessly." Xu Shu said solemnly.
"You are right, but how are we going to get there?"
Yu Buzhi looked at the herd of wild horses on the other side, the grass bridge across the two banks, and the crocodiles in the river, and sighed: "Even if we pass, it seems difficult for us to hold on against the impact of all the wild horses running wild."
Xu Shu said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will talk about the wild horse attack first."
"I have just observed that the impact of wild horses is directly proportional to their number and speed. The more wild horses running together and the faster they run, the harder it is for our soldiers to stop them. Otherwise, the greater the possibility of our capture."
“When does the Mustang have the lowest impact?”
"altar!"
"When the wild horses first appear and have not yet run out of the altar, the impact of the wild horses is at their weakest. If our army can cross the river and capture the wild horses around the altar, we can use our strengths and avoid weaknesses, and it will be much easier to capture the wild horses.
Capturing soldiers nearby can give us more advantages. Even if our army cannot block the wild horse attack in the end, we will surely be able to make a lot of gains before the encirclement is broken. Another advantage of surrounding the altar is that all our soldiers can participate in the capture operation.
, instead of being divided and trapped like now, there are always people who are not involved."
Yu Buzhi nodded silently, what Xu Shu said was absolutely correct.
Being able to catch wild horses around the altar will definitely be much better than now. At least the distance for wild horses to escape will be extended. Even if the defense line collapses, as long as the wild horses can be tied up with a rope, run across the grass bridge from the other side of the river, and then rush into the knot here.
The boundary area can definitely not be completed in one minute. It is a typical space-for-time.
The biggest problem is, how to cross the river?
Whether the Qingcao Bridge can be seen or not, and there are endless crocodiles in the river, Yu Buzhi really can't think of a way to cross the river, otherwise the challenging army would have tried it long ago. However, Xu Shu brought up the old matter now, so he must have thought of a way.
"I did think of a way, but whether it works or not, we have to try it to know."
Xu Shu smiled and waved to Peigua who was not far away: "Uncle, here are some melon soldiers."
"Oh." Pei Gua didn't ask why and directly summoned five melon soldiers.
"Okay, Zilong, you can also come and help me."
Zhao Yun came over, took the stick that Xu Shu had picked up, and asked, "How to do it?"
"Hit to the other side."
Zhao Yun glanced at Xu Shu, smiled and nodded.
Xu Shu himself was a man of letters and military, and he could execute the Gua Gua tactics himself, but now he asked Zhao Yun to do it for him. Zhao Yun was a little surprised, but now he finally understood. The river in Yema Valley is wide or narrow, so Xu Shu
With the strength of the melon soldiers, it may be a bit reluctant to let the melon soldiers cross the river safely. Hitting the melon soldiers with the rolling melon tactic is not as simple as hitting them hard. You need to use skillful force when hitting. If you make a slight mistake, the melon soldiers will explode. Let the melon soldiers explode.
The soldiers must cross the river safely, and the melon soldiers will not explode in the air or soon after landing, and a king-level general will be required.
"How easy is this? How many?"
"Just two."
Zhao Yun said nothing more and struck twice casually.
The two melon soldiers flew out, drew two arcs in the air, landed steadily on the other side, bounced a few times, and slowly stopped. Pei Gua understood the idea and began to remotely control the melon soldiers. The melon soldiers stretched out their little arms.
The calf slowly wandered around on the other side. A small melon soldier walked up to the wild horse grazing. The wild horse looked up, snorted, and continued to chew grass.
"Huh? Are we going to use melon soldiers to attack the wild horses on the other side of the river, drive them away, and find a way to get them onto our heavily guarded bridge?" Qu Chen, who had just been busy cleaning the battlefield and treating the wounded soldiers, came over and asked.
"Drive the wild horses onto the bridge?" Xu Shu was stunned for a moment. Obviously, the method Qu Chen said was something he had not thought of, but he quickly figured out the key to it, shook his head and said, "It's too far, it's not that easy."
Qu Chen decisively shut up. There was really nothing he could do.
"The melon soldiers crossing the river verified two details."
Xu Shu laughed happily and said: "Firstly, the grassland on the other side is different from the Qingcao Bridge and can be stepped on; secondly, wild horses lack active aggression and generally ignore people or things that do not hinder their movement."
"I understand!" Yu Buzhi took a breath of cold air.
Xu Shu said this, it would be stupid if Yu Buzhi didn't understand what he wanted to do. Xu Shu clearly wanted to rely on the outstanding strength of the king-level general to send the troops to the other side of the river, and then let the soldiers reach the other side of the river.
The melon soldiers assisted the troops in crossing the river.
"My lord is wise!" Xu Shu said.
"In order to capture wild horses, we have prepared a large number of standard ropes in advance. The rope lengths are all twenty steps. I think the river is about two hundred steps wide. We only need to connect more than ten standard ropes to reach the other side. Guarana
The soldiers brought the rope over, and let the melon soldiers work together to tighten the rope. We chose the sergeants who were light and agile to cross the river with the rope. The soldiers in the flying army were all barbarians and were good at climbing. As long as we send a few people across, things will get easier.
It’s getting easier…”
Xu Shu told everything about his plan, and everyone looked at each other in shock.
This plan is crazy!
The edge rope spans a river two hundred steps wide, and there are swarms of crocodiles in the river. It sounds simple, but the risk is unimaginable. If you accidentally fall into the river, you will end up with no body left.
There are more than 200 steps on the river, and the rope is dangling, so you can imagine how difficult it is to climb.
It is already difficult to cross the river by climbing a rope with bare hands. You also need to bring a rope to harness the horse. Since the elite wild horses have a bad habit of biting people, they must also bring the necessary weapons and armor. The Wudang Feijun is so powerful that they may be able to undergo training.
Pretend to cross the river, but it is difficult to say how long it will take to cross the river. The challenge time limit is limited. In addition, the cavalry basically do not have the ability to cross the river alone. According to Xu Shu's plan, the main capture force will become the flying army originally responsible for blocking.
The original capture of the main cavalry probably could only be done on this side of the river...
The risks are too great and the difficulties are many!
But no one can deny that Xu Shu's plan can help us regain the initiative to challenge the mission.
After briefly describing the plan, Xu Shu glanced at everyone: "What do you think?"
Everyone looked at Wang Ping who arrived on foot from behind. The main pressure for the new plan was on Fei Jun.
Wang Ping thought for a moment and said, "Can anyone deal with the crocodile?"
"The rope will fall into the water due to the weight. I have thought of this, no problem." Xu Shu nodded.
Wang Ping said no more: "Okay, I'll go prepare."
Xu Shu turned to look at Qu Chen and Zhao Yun, and said seriously: "Sending the melon soldiers across the river is not difficult for both of you, but this is only the first step. We need to tie the melon soldiers with ropes that are strong enough to cross the river.
The weight will increase significantly, and I want to know if you are sure that the melon soldiers tied to the ropes will be sent over safely?"
The two looked at each other and saw a little anxiety in each other's eyes.
It used to be easy to send the melon soldiers, but the melon soldiers were tied with more than 200 paces of rope, and the weight increased at least several times. With the strength of Zhao Yun and Qu Chen, it was not a problem to beat the melon soldiers across the river with ropes. The only problem was to increase the power output.
It's hard for the melon soldiers to withstand such a powerful blow, and they are directly knocked back to their original shape. How can they play again?
"Try it." Zhao Yun said.
Qu Chen also said: "You have to try it before you know."
Several flying soldiers connected the ropes, and Pei Gua followed Xu Shu's instructions and summoned the melon soldiers again. This time he input the maximum mana. The new melon soldiers could withstand greater blows than the previous ordinary melon soldiers.
"boom!"
Qu Chen lowered his stick and blew one up in the air, causing the rope to fall to the ground.
When he gathered his strength and came again, the melon soldiers were still destroyed.
If Zhao Yun was replaced, the result would be the same.
The two king-level generals were extremely skilled at controlling their power. The problem was that the strongest melon soldier summoned by Pei Gua could not withstand the huge force that was enough for him and the rope to cross the river. Yu Buzhi and Xu Shu were silent, but Zhao Yun seemed not to.
Noticing it, he continued to take the trouble to test the maximum endurance limit of the melon soldiers.
Flying over about three-quarters of the river is the best result that can be tolerated without the melon soldiers being blown up.
Disappointment flashed across Xu Shu's eyes.
"It should be okay." Zhao Yun suddenly said.
"What?"
Zhao Yun said seriously: "We can go there, but we have to join forces with the second general..."
The force of the blow that the melon soldiers can withstand is limited. The solution that Zhao Yun came up with is that he and Qu Chen join forces. One of them grabs the rope and swings it in a circle to give the melon soldiers a good initial speed; the other is still responsible for the blow.
The melon soldiers were thrown to the other side and they took action instantly. Theoretically speaking, as long as the two king-level generals cooperate well enough to safely send the melon soldiers and ropes to the other side, there should be no problem!
Qu Chen also thought it was feasible, but this operation required a lot of coordination, so the two quickly started practicing.
"Okay, hurry up!"
Xu Shu was overjoyed. The situation forced him to make up his mind to cross the river. It was okay if there was no hope at all. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would not give up. Wang Ping and Zhao Yun were never people who would talk freely. Since a promise can cross the river by climbing a rope
, and the other promised to send melon troops across. Xu Shu, always decisive in killing, decisively ordered the infantry from No. 1 Bridge and No. 5 Bridge to come over and prepare to cross the river at No. 3 Bridge.
In front of Yu Bu Zhi, more than a dozen flying troops were tying ropes.
The Feijun were all barbarians, and many of them had hunting experience in the mountains before joining the army. They were extremely skilled in using mountain vines to pass through obstacles or create traps. With two standard ropes in their hands, it only took a second or two to tie them tightly.
Together, you can't even see where the knot is, and the long rope is completely integrated.
Yu Buzhi was amazed at what he saw. There were rules in the game that were annoying, but they also had corresponding benefits. For example, the miracle of connecting short ropes to long ropes without leaving any knots is something that would never happen in reality.
Wang Ping led nine lean flying troops over, and they were obviously the first soldiers to cross the river.
"Lord, military advisor, we are ready."
