Jiang Hai silently thought to himself that he would have the chance to ask Dugu Qiu to teach him some real kung fu later. However, the most important thing now was to land. The two people who had landed had already started setting up their equipment.
Except for the people from the Xincheng Corps, everyone else was looking at it with curiosity. They saw that the machine had pedals at the front, like a bicycle.
After the rope was stretched straight, the first group of soldiers on the boat carried the same equipment, fixed it to the buckles on the rope, and were then shaken up by the two soldiers who boarded first on the shore.
They took turns going up, and soon the first group of twenty or thirty people were gone. There were twenty or thirty more taut ropes on the four boats.
Several ropes were used to carry supplies, while the others were used to carry people. The people of the New City Corps cooperated in an orderly manner, and the people on the ropes flew upwards like they were hanging on wires.
"Wow, this is all possible." Cai'er's eyes widened when she saw this scene.
Yuchi Ziling had heard Jiang Hai talk about this thing yesterday, but seeing it with her own eyes was still very shocking. With such a useful tool, the login speed is very fast.
"You are so smart that you can come up with this idea." Yuchi Ziling sighed.
"No big deal, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Let's go and get ready, it's almost time to go up." Jiang Hai said.
At this time, Dugu Qiu looked at this scene and felt a little admiration in his heart, but pretended to be calm on the surface.
"Senior Dugu, let's go and prepare to climb up." Jiang Hai waved to Dugu Qiu.
"Humph, this old man doesn't need to prepare."
Dugu Qiu put his hands behind his back in disdain. After saying that, he chose a rope that no one was using and jumped up.
Then, everyone saw a very funny scene. The old man was running forward on the rope. However, his injured leg slowed down his pace. He ran with one foot deep and one foot shallow, one step big and one step small.
"Hahahaha." Jiang Hai couldn't help laughing when he saw him like this.
Dugu Qiu heard Jiang Hai's laughter and was distracted. His injured leg missed a step and he fell off the rope. Fortunately, the old man was very skilled in martial arts and immediately grabbed the rope with his one arm and hung in the air.
The old man's face suddenly became ugly. He was embarrassed and angry because he failed to show off. He cursed at Jiang Hai.
"What are you laughing at? Come on if you can do it."
"Hahahaha, no, no, senior, please go up quickly." Jiang Hai answered him while holding his stomach with a smile.
Dugu Qiu's face darkened. He snorted, gathered his energy, and with a powerful pull, he flew into the air. He then pulled himself back onto the rope and ran to the shore, taking one step forward and one step back.
After Dugu Qiu went up, Jiang Hai and the others below were almost ready and had tied themselves up. Jiang Hai buttoned up his wife and sent her up first.
Then it was Cai'er. Cai'er was trembling a little, and Jiang Hai was a little confused.
"What's wrong, Cai'er? You're not afraid of heights, are you? Aren't you able to climb walls and fly normally?"
"That's different. It's not that high, and you don't have to worry about your feet touching the ground. This..."
Cai Er was a little confused and continued, "I, I can't swim yet."
Jiang Hai put the buckle on her without saying anything, waved his hand, and the people on the shore started shaking.
Cai'er was pulled up to the rope in a flash. She was so frightened that she didn't even dare to open her eyes. This girl was really amazing. She dared to run on the roof, but she was afraid of such a thing.
Jiang Hai discovered another weakness of this girl and was very happy.
Then Jiang Hai went up himself.
Each rope was assigned to less than a hundred people, so it only took about an hour to finish climbing.
Only Lu Laotie and a few others were left on the boat to drive the boat, while everyone else had landed.
After landing, the first people who went ashore had already received armor from the supply delivery side and put it on. Their armor was not the same style, and each person had different armor according to their different division of labor.
The two who had gone up to build the equipment earlier were only wearing armor similar to bulletproof vests, mainly for ease of movement. Furthermore, they were all camouflaged, as they weren't planning on engaging in direct combat this time and needed concealment.
Jiang Hai also put on armor and gave his wife the Sanliu Di and Cai'er's Sansi Bi.
He turned around and glanced at Dugu Qiu. The old man still had the demeanor of a hero and was not very interested in these things.
"Senior Dugu, why don't you wear one?"
"No need. How can a mere foreign soldier hurt me?"
"How about a pair of leg armor?"
After Jiang Hai finished speaking, he handed him a pair of leg guards. Dugu Qiu looked disdainful, silently took the leg guards and tied them to his injured leg.
Jiang Hai smiled secretly in his heart and said no, which was quite honest.
According to the previous strategic deployment, after being fully equipped, the troops split into two groups and headed towards different targets.
Jiang Hai and Yuchi Ziling followed Qin Wan's team. Wu Gong followed Qin Bai's team and went to select the blasting site, which he was more experienced in.
It takes about a day to travel to Wucheng, and another day to get from Wucheng to Liaocheng.
"Young Master, Wucheng will be handed over to you then. I will take people to Liaocheng when we get there." Qin Wan said.
"Okay, then we'll wait for you outside Wucheng for a day. When do you expect to open fire?"
"If we can finish it before 3pm the day after tomorrow, we'll start firing simultaneously at 3pm."
"Okay. Let's go."
Jiang Hai and Qin Wan exchanged a few words, then each took their men on their way.
…
On the other side, Hu Can's army had already passed the ambush site chosen by Qin Bai and his men and was heading towards Donggu Pass.
According to this, there is just a time difference. However, Jiang Hai has no intelligence yet and does not know the number of the enemy's troops. It is just an estimate.
Jiang Xiuyuan had previously analyzed the situation for them in Xincheng, and concluded that there would be no fewer than 100,000 foreign troops. Otherwise, given the supply of troops at Donggu Pass and nearby areas, there was no way they would need to ask the imperial court for assistance.
At this time, the reinforcements led by Yuchi Zhong were still ten days away from Donggu Pass, and there was no way they could arrive before the foreign invaders attacked.
On the other side of the Hulang tribe, tens of thousands of cavalry had already assembled and were preparing to march towards Beiguguan. Because the Hulang tribe were all nomadic and their cavalry were fast, they had not gathered their troops beforehand and had not explored the border in advance.
Donggu Pass, above the city wall.
The strong wind blew in the face, making the flags of Guanshang Darong flutter.
The defending general Zhou Yi stood on the city wall and looked outside the pass. The nearby hills had been cleared and there was not a single usable tree.
His brows were furrowed and his eyes were filled with worry.
According to the intelligence that has just been delivered, Hu Can’s army is very close, and if nothing unexpected happens, they will be at the gates of the city tomorrow.
As for whether the enemy would immediately attack the pass upon arrival, he had no idea, and all the necessary preparations had been completed.
