Xiang Yu fights the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 76

The special troops under Sun Jian started to move after the sun went down in the evening. At this time, the surrounding area was pitch black. It is really difficult for ordinary people to climb the very steep rock wall under such circumstances. arrived.

But all of these people have unique skills and are very good at rock climbing, but even so, it does not mean that there will be no mistakes at all. As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, there is no way your shoes will not get wet. Once these people make mistakes, the consequences will be fatal. At the least, it caused his own life to be lost, and at the worst, the mission failed, which affected Sun Jian's entire battle plan.

So for them, this is also a task that can only be successful and not fail. The defenders of Tianshui City have indeed ignored this position, but they cannot be blamed for this. After all, no one would have thought of such a straight and steep rock wall. , Some people can climb up, so there is almost no defense capability here.

After getting ready, the special forces began to climb along the steep rock walls. Of course, although these rock walls look very steep, it is not impossible to find a place to start and get off. Their feet Wearing special shoes, they can be tightly embedded in the rock wall, and they also have a kind of grabbing hook on their hands, which can be tied with a rope, and then thrown out, usually onto some relatively large rock blocks, or some On top of tree trunks growing above the rock face.

They firmly grasped the claws in their hands, threw them upwards, and just caught them on a protruding rock. One of them pulled down hard, and after confirming that the claws were indeed firmly grasped, they began to follow Climbing up the rope, these people are very athletic, and most of their bodies are thin and short, but their hands are usually relatively large, their shoulders are narrow, and their palms and limbs are extremely powerful. The stamina is also very good.

Usually this can be regarded as a talent, not everyone can become a good climber through training, those big men who look like burly backs and strong bodies are basically impossible to be like them, like monkeys Climbing flexibly on steep rock walls, in fact, sometimes if you really observe their climbing process carefully, you may really regard them as some monkeys that look like people.

After all, there are many similarities between humans and monkeys. In the process of learning to climb, these people will really learn from monkeys. Some people have imitated and learned many monkey climbing skills through observation and training. , As a result, their body shape and movements became similar to monkeys over time.

Therefore, this special army also has a nickname, it is called the Macaque Army. Many of them quite like this name, because they think that monkeys are very spiritual animals, and they are better than many people. Survive in brutal and complex places in the wild.

Soon the man from the macaque army who climbed to the front had already grasped the protruding rock wall, and then he threw his claws to the trunk of a small tree growing obliquely on the top of the rock wall. , the roots of this small tree have been spreading and growing among the rocks. Its vitality is so tenacious that it struggles to grow out of the barren and hard rock gaps, growing towards the direction of the sun.

In such a night, the surroundings are pitch black, and they can only judge the surrounding situation by relying on a little light from the bright moon in the sky. Many times, these require experience and on-the-spot judgments. Those who are not experienced enough, or judge People who are not accurate enough often cannot live here. Although they are powerful, many people have failed in the process of becoming such a powerful person. Such a difficult and dangerous rock climbing method, of course, has high failure rate.

However, like the heroic soldiers who went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, they all have a heart that regards death as home. Although everyone is afraid of death deep in their hearts, they are also very clear that their life and death are often only in a flash It’s just a matter of time, they live one second, and may die the next second, so they don’t have extra energy to think about death, they have to focus all their energy in front of them, only in this way can they have a chance to live, The more you think about it, the more likely you are to die.

It was getting closer, getting closer, and the person at the front finally climbed up the steep rock wall. There was a section of city wall at the top of the rock wall, but there was an obvious gap in the city wall, perhaps because there was a cliff below, so there was no gap. People went to repair it, and there were more soldiers of the Macaque Army behind him.

They wear black tights all over their bodies, and black masks on their heads. Only the eyes are exposed. Against the background of the surrounding darkness, their figures are hidden in it, even if they are not far from them You may not be able to see them anywhere.

In fact, in ancient times, many people had no way to supplement vitamin A, so their eyesight was not good at night, which is the so-called night blindness, and these soldiers of the macaque army often ate some animal livers to supplement vitamin A. Vitamin A.

Of course, people in this era don't know what vitamin A or cucurbitacin is. They only know that eating more animal livers can help them see more clearly in the dark at night, and those enemy soldiers who don't have the conditions to eat animal livers , In the darkness of night, they are no different from blind people, especially in some relatively distant places, in dark corners where firelight cannot reach, they are also difficult to see clearly.

There are not many soldiers from the macaque army climbing up, about a dozen or so people. After they come up, they will look for a place to fix it, and then let a lot of ropes down from the rock wall, so that more ordinary soldiers behind can also climb up. Climb up the rope.

Even with the help of these ropes, some soldiers still couldn't climb up the steep rock wall, so they had to put the ladder below. During this process, the macaque army would sneak in and try to avoid the surrounding sentries and patrols as much as possible. Soldiers of the team dealt with them. They hid in the darkness, held sharp daggers in their hands, and walked forward slowly with their thin and flexible bodies like monkeys, or crawled on the ground. Those guards in Tianshui City It was really hard for the city soldiers to notice, and their throats were cut from behind by accident.

The macaque army did not continue to infiltrate inside. After all, their number is limited. At this time, if they continue to move deeper, there is a risk of exposing the target. They have to wait for the siege soldiers behind to gradually climb up from the rock wall, and wait until they are assembled. After a sufficient number of troops, proceed to the next operation.

Sun Jian's plan was to let these macaque troops clear the way for the siege troops, and then climb up the rock wall with dozens or hundreds of soldiers. Their main task was to find opportunities to capture the city gate and open the city of Tianshui City for the siege troops. Door.

After all, rock climbing is extremely difficult. Even with the assistance of ropes and ladders, it is still difficult to climb up a large number of soldiers in a short period of time. These small number of soldiers can only do some functional things, and once they attack, the The rock walls will also be exposed, and there is no way to do it again next time, so this plan is also a one-off, if it fails, there will be no next chance.
