Chapter 438 She loves catching turtles the most
Wei Lin used his remaining hand to draw a rough topographic map of the sixth-level area.
This was also thanks to his previous experience in exploring and scouting the enemy's situation in the Qi Family Army.
The topographic map is clear at a glance.
The terrain, several important fortresses, and locations that are easy to defend and difficult to attack are all clearly marked.
"The population of the sixth-tier district is actually smaller than that of the seventh-tier district, and it doesn't have the same high defensive walls as the seventh-tier district. However, the terrain they are located in is unique. The entire area is in the mountains, and the terrain in the mountains is extremely complex. If you are not very familiar with it, you may get lost after entering."
Therefore, for the sixth-level area, the mountain where it is located is a natural protective barrier.
"There's only one way into the mountain, so Naihetang has stationed all the guards on that road and set up a lot of traps."
Although those from Naihe Hall are just small minions who are not to be feared, they have been wandering in the mountains for a long time and are very familiar with the terrain, which gives them a certain advantage.
Yun Fu narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard this: "There's only one way. Isn't that great? We can just catch the turtle in the jar."
Her favorite thing is to catch turtles.
Cheng Qingyan and others: "..."
This girl didn't listen to anything else!
I heard there was only one way.
Xuanji Zhang smiled foolishly: "That's true, but we have to find a way to get in before we can catch the turtle!"
Yun Fu glanced at Wei Lin and said, "Since you were able to escape from under the guard's nose, it shouldn't be difficult to get in, right?"
After all, those who had escaped from the sixth-class area were a group of old, weak and sick people.
"Huh?" Wei Lin paused. Did they do that back then?
But they didn't come down from that mountain road in the first place!
"Well, we didn't actually escape from the Sixth Ward under the guards' noses. Instead, we left secretly via a suspension bridge on the cliff in the back mountain."
If they had taken the heavily guarded mountain path, they would not be standing here today.
Yun Fu raised her eyebrows: "Didn't they say there was only one way?"
Wei Lin scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Well, it's like this. When we escaped from the suspension bridge to the opposite cliff, we were afraid that pursuers would catch up with us, so we cut down the bridge from this end."
He also didn't know whether the suspension bridge was rebuilt after the people from Naihe Hall discovered that it was destroyed.
Yun Fu nodded in understanding: "Take us to that cliff to have a look."
Even those who have never marched or fought in a battle know how satisfying it is to sneak up behind the enemy and catch them off guard.
Even if Yun Fu didn't say what she meant, everyone present understood what she meant.
"Okay, no problem." Wei Lin nodded.
——
Yun Fu was just going to explore the route first, so she didn't bring many people with her. It was just her, Qi Hanzhou, and Wei Lin. The three of them rode on horses and went into battle lightly.
The sixth and seventh class areas were not far from each other.
The cliff they were going to was right next to the sixth-class area.
The distance does not count.
But because they still had to climb the mountain and the road was difficult to travel, it took them about three hours to reach the cliff that Wei Lin mentioned.
From a distance, you can see a tattered suspension bridge hanging on the opposite cliff.
Obviously, no one was arranged in the Sixth District to repair the suspension bridge.
Wei Lin looked at the damaged suspension bridge, feeling a little regretful: "If I had known I would need it today, I shouldn't have destroyed it."
Yun Fu certainly wouldn't blame him for this. "If you hadn't cut off the bridge, you might not have been able to escape to the Stone Forest in the Seventh District, and you might not have waited for us to show up. Oftentimes, fate has its own destiny. You don't need to blame yourself."
Qi Hanzhou also said in a deep voice: "There was nothing wrong with your original choice."
Wei Lin sighed, "But this road is blocked. We can't launch a surprise attack now. We have to re-formulate our tactics."
Yun Fu didn't respond to him. Instead, she stared at the shorter cliff face with a slightly gloomy gaze, as if thinking, "That might not be the case."
"What does the princess mean?" Wei Lin asked in confusion.
Yun Fu twitched her lips lightly, and something seemed to flash across her eyes: "I say, this road may not be blocked."
In fact, Yun Fu was not in a daze just now, but was calculating the shortest distance between the cliffs on both sides, and an idea came to her mind.
If there was no road, she would make one.
She estimated the distance between the cliffs and the advantages of one high and one low. With Xiaobai's ability, it shouldn't be a big problem for him to fly over.
But this side is high and the other side is low, which means that Xiaobai can jump over but it is difficult for him to jump back.
Moreover, even if Xiaobai could jump back and forth, Yunfu would not let it carry one or two hundred people and serve as a tool horse.
So, she had to find a way to use something to connect the cliffs on both sides so that people could cross to the other side.
Soon, Yun Fu came up with an idea. She could make a simple zipline for people to slide across.
The zipline, also known as a zip line, originally existed as a tool for crossing rivers. After all, building a bridge across a very wide river is not an easy task.
But the people living on both sides of the river did not want to take a long detour that would take several days, so for convenience, they created this zipline.
This thing doesn't require any technical skills. It just uses a steel cable or thick rope connected to the two sides of the valley. Generally, one end is higher and the other end is lower, so that people can slide from a high place to a low place.
Of course, there are also situations where the terrain is relatively flat, which is called flat sliding. When starting a flat slide, you slide with the help of the inertia of your feet pushing against the ground. After sliding halfway, you will stop. For the remaining distance, you can only rely on your own feet and hands to continue climbing to the other side.
This requires a test of one's physical strength.
Sometimes it also tests your courage, because the river water is surging beneath you, and if you fall in, you may lose your life.
Now, the two cliffs in front of Yun Fu have a very obvious height difference. She doesn't need to exert any effort at all. She can use her body weight as inertia to slide to the other side.
Yun Fu told the two people beside her about her thoughts.
Qi Hanzhou naturally agreed with her idea: "Then do as you say, Xiao Fu'er. I have no objection."
Although Wei Lin didn't quite understand what Yun Fu said, such as "zipline", "inclination", "steel cable" and "pulley".
But he believed in Princess Yunfu's ability.
——
After returning to the seventh-class area, Yun Fu locked herself in the room and drew the blueprint of the zipline.
The size, dimensions and material of each component are clearly marked.
Since she is leading these people to do things, she will try her best to ensure their safety.
Logically speaking, hemp rope is simpler and easier to obtain, but after all, hemp rope is not as strong as steel cable.
