The Jin Bing's attack plan did not change, but made some slight adjustments. After reconnaissance, they chose three other attack locations to conduct simultaneous attacks. The difference was that they chose the most suitable location to truly attack and cross the river.

, that is the canyon terrain in the valley of the Snowy Mountains in the north.

The reason for choosing this place is very simple. Firstly, it is under two high snow-capped mountains and the terrain is open, which is conducive to troops and horses attacking with all their strength. Secondly, it is extremely difficult for all vehicles and equipment to move in the mountains.

Yes, but by detouring from the gentle slopes of the snow-capped mountains on the east side and reaching the top of the valley, you can reach the edge of the canyon without any hindrance. And this will be a decisive advantage. The materials for building bridges carried by engineers, including planks, ropes, can be transported there in one go

Here, almost all of the one thousand engineers and soldiers are following this army, striving to break through from here.

Xiao Huaizhong made a desperate move. He personally formulated a three-sided feint attack and an improved plan to break through on the north side. The remaining three attacks must be fierce at all costs, creating the illusion of an all-out attack. The 15,000 troops and horses led by Zhao Qinian

The North Route Army quietly arrived at the attack site under cover and carried out a swift and violent attack.

In order for the plan to succeed, Xiao Huaizhong spent a lot of money. The feint attacks on three sides were extremely brutal. The battle lasted for nearly two hours one after another before Zhao Qinian's troops quickly approached the attack point from the snow-capped mountain valley.

The only purpose of this is to completely divert the attention of the Zhongyi Army's defensive troops, allowing them to focus all their attention on the three ongoing battlefields and invest all their forces in these three battlefields. Once the northern attack is launched,

, the Zhongyi Army temporarily mobilized manpower to rush there, but it was probably too late.

This plan was neither vicious nor thorough. In fact, the Zhongyi Army was indeed fooled. After the battle started, no one was still wary of the Jin soldiers attacking from other troops. The cunning thing about the Jin soldiers was

, they not only created a time difference, but also used the cover of darkness to prevent the opponent from knowing how many troops were attacking, in order to deceive the opponent. As the saying goes, a soldier never tires of deceit, and that was true at this moment.

Zhang Ruomei was stunned when she learned that another group of enemy troops had gathered on the cliff to the north. She felt that she could hardly breathe and was about to suffocate. The pressure on the three battlefields was so great at the moment, and the Jin soldiers were

The extremely cunning sneak attack from the north was completely beyond her expectation. At this moment, Fang Zian was nowhere to be found, and she had nowhere to turn to for help. She could not ask others to give her advice. After a brief moment of sluggishness, she quickly took a few deep breaths.

, control your emotions.

"After all, you have to rely on yourself. You can't rely on anyone. Even the people I trust and rely on the most can't help me at this moment." Zhang Ruomei thought in her heart and quickly issued the order.

"Li Dahai, from now on, you will be promoted from the position of captain to deputy general. I will order you to take full responsibility for commanding the battle on Dongshanya. I will take 500 of the 1,300 brothers here to go to Beiya to resist the enemy. You are here

If you don’t have enough manpower, you can find a way to solve it yourself. You can recruit from the common people who volunteer to participate in the battle. But remember, they have to be willing. Do you understand?"

The captain named Li Dahai knew that it was imminent at this time, and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, unless I, Li Dahai, die here, the Dongya Cable Bridge will not be lost. Commander-in-Chief himself must be careful."

Zhang Ruomei nodded and said:

"Everyone be careful. I hope the battle is over and we can all live. I'm going."

Zhang Ruomei quickly summoned 500 soldiers to evacuate the East Cliff, and also brought 300 female battalion soldiers who did not need to go to the battlefield, a total of 800 people. Fortunately, many horse-drawn sleighs were prepared under the cliff. Three horse-drawn sleighs were prepared.

Fifteen or six people could be accommodated. Although the number of sleds was insufficient, Zhang Ruomei led 300 archers to resist the enemy first, while the others ran towards the north cliff first and waited for the sleds to arrive before turning back to pick them up.

It was nearly eight miles to the north cliff. Zhang Ruomei was so anxious that she wished she could spread her wings and fly to the north cliff. But she also knew in her heart that such a small number of manpower might not be enough to resist the enemy. But at this moment, she was thinking about what to do.

What? The worst case scenario is to fight to the death with the enemy, live and die with the camp, and go to the spring to find his brother. Standing on the sled, the flying snow foam hit his face, and the cold wind whipped Zhang Ruomei's face.

At this moment, she felt extremely lonely and cold. After her brother died, she seemed to be a pitiful person who no longer had anyone to protect her in this world.

On the other side of the North Cliff, the light of the torches is as bright as day and as dense as stars. It has been almost an hour since Zhao Qi arrived here with 15,000 soldiers and horses. Although there are beacon fires burning on the opposite cliff as a warning, it is obvious that there are not many soldiers.

The horse was on defense, with less than a dozen people above bluffing and shooting sporadic arrows in this direction.

Zhao Qinian ordered: "Ignore them, the engineers will start building the bridge immediately."

A thousand engineers had already carried all the materials to the cliff, and preparations had been made. After hearing Zhao Qinian's order, they immediately started taking action.

The way engineers build bridges is professional. As long as they have the materials, they can build a bridge in the air without having to swim to the other side to pull up the rope. The engineers erected triangular supports tied with logs on the other side. The log supports are six to seven feet high.

It was planted on the ground, and an iron pulley rope was hung from the thick log beam in the middle, connected to a winch, and operated by more than fifty strong soldiers.

The method is to use pulleys to pull the bridge deck that extends forward step by step. For every three feet added, tie a rope to the triangular support to secure it firmly. This will ensure that the bridge deck will not fall. Each piece of the bridge deck is

The board modules, which are more than ten feet wide, are reinforced with rice-shaped hardwoods below, and each bridge board is connected with iron hooks. The front is laid, and the back is reinforced with staggered logs. This kind of rapid volley bridge construction method

The method has long been known in the Song Dynasty. When Bianliang City was destroyed, the Jin people not only kidnapped the two saints and a large number of courtiers, royal concubines, concubines, emperors, and gold and silver treasures, but also kidnapped a large number of craftsmen in the city. This kind of delicate

Bridge-building technology was also learned by the Jin people and successfully used in the military.

Of course, this kind of bridge cannot be too long, otherwise it cannot be built, but the width of the entire canyon is only twenty feet, and the pulling force of tall triangular log supports and several winches is enough to support it. As long as you reach the other side, you can

Roots were grown on the cliff, and thick ropes were pulled from the other side to pull the balance. The bridge finally built was similar to the cable-stayed bridge of later generations. However, the final shape was still a wooden cableway bridge.

Although this method of building a bridge is very advanced, the progress is not fast. A thousand engineers have been working hard, but Zhao Qinian is still too slow and keeps urging to speed up the progress. Because Zhao Qinian knows that the Eight-Character Army will soon be

Arrive, it is best to take advantage of the time when they are still in chaos and mobilize their troops.

It's enough to build the rope bridge, and everyone can rush across to the other side. Then they can gallop and kill wantonly in Fenglong Mountain. Zhao Qinian is highly used this time. Xiao Huaizhong entrusts such an important offensive task to himself, and he must grasp it.

Seize this opportunity to make great achievements, so that Xiao Huaizhong will benefit, and he can hold his thigh and rise to the top.

An hour passed, and when nearly half of the bridge was built, Zhang Ruomei led 300 archers to the top of the North Cliff. Seeing that the other party had already built half of the bridge as if no one was around, Zhang Ruomei immediately ordered an attack.

.

Three hundred archers fired indiscriminately at the engineers building the bridge from the top of the cliff, killing more than twenty people at once. The remaining engineers were so frightened that they fled back to the shore. However, the attack on the top of the cliff led to ferocious retaliation.

The golden archers and more than 30 ballistas who had already set up a formation began to fire arrows to suppress them wildly. Although there were bunkers, the opponent's stormy blows still left the three hundred people on the top of the cliff unable to fight back. As soon as they showed up,

will be shot. It’s not that the opponent’s shooting skills are so exquisite, but that the opponent’s bows and arrows are too dense, almost a carpet of non-stop strikes, and even the ants crawling on the ground may be hit by an arrow. In this case, except

There is no other way than hiding behind cover, because even trying to catch a glimpse of the enemy will cost you injury and death.

Under the cover of ferocious arrow strikes, the engineers resumed construction. The rope bridge extended forward little by little. Zhang Ruomei and the others on the top of the cliff became even more anxious. They had to risk being shot and let go.

Although the arrows killed the engineers building the bridge and slowed down the construction speed of the bridge, every time someone stood up to shoot an arrow, someone would be hit by the arrow and fall to the ground. Subsequently, the other 500 people rushed to the top of the cliff one after another, but it was of no avail. The opponent no longer cared about it.

Regardless of the cost of the attack, there is no way to stop the opponent's progress.

Zhang Ruomei was so anxious that she stood up and shot the enemy regardless of the dissuasion. But this quickly cost her. After taking aim and shooting an engineer, Zhang Ruomei's shoulder felt like a crab.

She felt pain like a sting, and a powerful arrow hit her shoulder. The blood immediately dyed her armor and clothes red.

Everyone hurriedly helped bandage her, and Zhang Ruomei shouted: "Kill the enemy, leave me alone."

A female guard sighed: "Commander, we are afraid that we will all lose our lives, and it will be difficult to stop it."

Zhang Ruomei wanted to be angry, but she couldn't, because what the female guard said was true. At this moment, Zhang Ruomei really realized the meaning of the word despair. Now she was really desperate.

"Everyone, when the enemy attacks, let's fight them to death. Especially our female guard sisters, we can't be captured alive by them, you know?" Zhang Ruomei sighed softly.

"Don't worry, Commander, we will not be captured alive. We will die together with them. Even if we jump off the cliff with the golden dog in our arms, we will not be captured alive by them." The female guards said in tears.

Dawn was about to break, and the sky was already gray and bright. A fierce battle was going on on the cliffs around Fenglong Mountain. After several hours of continuous fierce attacks, both sides suffered heavy casualties. However, both sides knew in their hearts that all this was about to end.
