Chapter 137 The Cliff

No, it's not possible to enter from here.

Zhao Jin lowered his gaze to other places where the firelight was sparse.

Suddenly, Zhao Jin noticed a place that was completely dark with no light at all.

None of the robbers were guarding the place.

Zhao Jin squinted his eyes. Such a situation could only mean that they were sure that no one would come in from there.

After Zhao Jin raised his hand and gestured to Yang Xu and others, he got dressed and walked towards the darkness.

This place is indeed very dark, even the moonlight can barely shine in. Only some outlines can be seen vaguely, and they are not very clear.

After arriving here, Zhao Jin finally understood why they didn't guard this place.

Below here is the valley floor, where the bandits are stationed, and behind and even above is a cliff.

No wonder, with the steep cliff, no one will come in from here, and the bandits will not pay attention to it.

Zhao Jin walked to the bottom of the cliff and then to the edge near the bottom of the valley.

He thought to himself: There is a road here that can go directly to the bottom of the valley, and there is no one stationed there.

Walking back to the bottom of the cliff again, Zhao Jin stretched out his hand and groped the surface of the cliff bit by bit.

Yang Xu and others had already followed Zhao Jin and were puzzled by Zhao Jin's actions.

Sir, are you trying to get in from here?

Qin Heng looked up and saw that it was pitch black and he couldn't see the height of the cliff at all.

"Sir, there is no way for us to leave here." Qin Heng lowered his voice to the lowest level, leaving almost only the sound of his breath.

In the darkness, Zhao Jin raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a smile, "That's not necessarily the case."

Yang Xu and others were stunned for a while, then saw that Zhao Jin was about to leave, and quickly followed him.

After some distance from the valley, everyone no longer suppressed their doubts.

"Here, how come so many troops came down the cliff silently?" Seng Fan scratched his head.

In fact, what he wanted to ask more was, although he couldn't see clearly, the bottom of the cliff was so steep, and he was afraid that the top would not be any better, so how could they get down from the top.

It's just that Zhao Jin's previous intention was obviously to find a way to solve this problem.

Zhao Jin glanced at a few people and said, "So I have to go back and train hard."

It is not easy for soldiers in Yunzhou City to do this now, but it does not mean that they cannot do it after training.

Zhao Jin is an international mercenary. When performing missions, similar infiltrations are very common. He is quite experienced in how to get off the cliff.

Although it is difficult to get such an army to come down from above, it does not mean that it cannot be done.

Nearly an hour later, Zhao Jin and his party descended to the foot of the mountain.

"Sir!" As soon as Liang Qian saw their figures, he immediately ran over, "How are you doing?"

"Found it."

Zhao Jin's expression became much more relaxed. As long as he found where these people were, everything else would be easy to handle.

Liang Qian's face was filled with joy and she hurriedly said: "Where are they? I will lead people to capture them immediately!"

"Don't be in a hurry, continue to guard here." Zhao Jin said calmly: "Pick seven or eight people who are agile and go to the valley circled on the map to keep an eye on it."

Liang Qian's expression collapsed when he heard that he still had to wait.

But we have found the people and are not far away from capturing them.

Liang Qian immediately said: "My subordinates will go right now."

"Well, I'll give you the map later."

After Zhao Jin returned to the government office, he first marked the route he had just taken with a red pen, and also specifically marked the hiding places of the bandits.

After ordering someone to send the map to Liang Qian, Zhao Jin picked up the brush again and kept writing on the paper.

After a moment, a strange claw hook appeared on the paper.

Unlike ordinary grappling hooks, everything that follows is a rope.

The claw hook drawn by Zhao Jin can be seen from the coil he drew. The hook is followed by a very long line, and behind the line, there is something like a belt.

"Call Yanxiang."

Yanxiang is the most attentive among these people, so Zhao Jin feels more at ease when leaving this matter to him.

"Yanxiang."

Zhao Jin looked at the subordinates in front of him, pushed the paper on the desk to the edge, and said solemnly: "Immediately order someone to make this kind of grappling hook."

Taking the drawing, Yan Xiang glanced at it. He had never seen this kind of claw hook before, but Zhao Jin drew it in detail and it was not a complicated thing.

"Yes, sir!"

"You need to pay attention to the rope inside. It must be wear-resistant and able to withstand the weight of an adult man for a long time."

Yan Xiang was slightly startled. There was no problem in bearing the weight of a man. After all, they already had grappling hooks.

However, it needs to be wear-resistant for a long time.

There was a bit of hesitation on his handsome face.

"Sir, the strongest rope we have today cannot do this."

Zhao Jin thought about it and said, "Use cowhide rope. This kind of rope is very strong."

Although it is not as strong as modern steel wire ropes, it is still quite good and is sufficient for use here.

Cowhide?

Yan Xiang looked at the blueprint in his hand and felt it was even hotter. "Sir, it is forbidden to kill cattle. Therefore, if there is only a small amount of cowhide and tendon, we can still find it, but..."

Lowering his head, Yan Xiang was speechless when his eyes saw the words "Ten Thousand Copies" written on it. Where could he find it?

The rope is so long that the cowhide required is definitely not enough.

Zhao Jin suddenly realized that in ancient times, it was forbidden to kill cattle because of cattle farming.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"Then mix some beef tendon and hemp. However, this kind of rope must be thick enough!"

A rope mixed with hemp is definitely not as strong as a cowhide rope, so it can only be made thick enough to withstand such strength.

Zhao Jin drew a width with his hand, which was about the thickness of his wrist.

This thickness can ensure the safety of soldiers using the grappling hook.

Yanxiang breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes!"

After Yan Xiang made the grappling hook, Zhao Jin took 4,000 copies for soldiers to use for training.

After that, Zhao Jin chose an open space with a large flat ground on one side and a steep cliff on the other, which was particularly suitable as a training place.

In order to improve the sensitivity of these soldiers, Zhao Jin did everything possible.

Walking ropes, dodging arrows that dislodge arrowheads, etc.

He must improve the sensitivity of these soldiers in a very short period of time in order to increase the success rate of suppressing bandits.

Fortunately, these soldiers were all elite, and they quickly adapted to Zhao Jin's strange and high-intensity training.

During the first cliff training, Zhao Jin observed from the top of the cliff, while Yang Xu led others to take protective measures below.

Zhao Jin ordered them to hold up soft quilts stuffed with rags and form a circle directly under the cliff to prevent anyone from falling from the cliff.

Because there were no cotton batting or machines to weave cotton cloth at this time, Zhao Jin could only stuff strips of cloth inside.

Everyone, the claw hooks were tightly hooked on the rocks or trees above, and the soldiers had two belts tied around their waists, which were tightly connected to the ropes, holding the soldiers.
