After treating the wounds, Tang Fei didn't care about the bodies of the two dead soldiers, put on his clothes and walked into the snow again.
After trudging for two more days in the wind and snow, we finally arrived at the outskirts of Brass Valley.
After spending another night bypassing the scout blockade of King Qin's army, on the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Tang Fei finally entered the Shu army's territory and met a group of patrolling bodyguards.
Tang Fei is one of the few living individuals with first-class merit. He is very famous in the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau. The squad leader of the patrolling escort recognized him as soon as he saw him.
"Captain Tang, what's wrong with you?"
The squad leader of the escort quickly stepped forward to support Tang Fei.
After trudging through the heavy snow for several days and nights with his injuries, Tang Fei was at the end of his strength and looked very ugly.
"Where is sir?" Tang Fei took the escort squad leader's arm and said, "Take me to see sir quickly!"
Seeing that Tang Fei was anxious, the escort squad leader quickly led the deputy squad leader and others to continue patrolling. He helped Tang Fei and turned back to find Jin Feng.
At this time, Jin Feng was having breakfast with Zhang Liang and others in the command room. When he heard that Tang Fei was coming, he quickly looked towards the door.
Seeing Tang Fei coming alone and being supported by others, Jin Feng couldn't help but feel nervous.
Zhang Liang frowned and asked: "Tang Fei, why did you come here alone? Where is the hot air balloon?"
"We were ambushed by dead soldiers and the hot air balloon was burned out!"
Tang Fei knelt down on the ground with a pop and answered with a guilty look on his face.
When he came just now, he had already listened to the escort squad leader's talk about recent events, and then he realized that the situation in Zhuangzhuanggou was more critical than he had guessed, and that the hot air balloon was needed more.
But they lost the hot air balloon.
This made Tang Fei feel even more guilty.
Zhuangzhuanggou was counting on the hot air balloon to save his life, but after waiting for so long, he finally got this result.
Not to mention other people, even Jin Feng could not help but feel a flash of despair in his heart!
But Jin Feng immediately suppressed this negative emotion, signaled the hammer to pull Tang Fei up, and asked: "What's going on?"
Tang Fei then told what happened in the col.
The command room suddenly fell into silence again.
In recent days, Dangxiang's march to the south has not stopped building walls.
Moreover, Dangxiang Jun changed his strategy and no longer increased the length, but continued to increase the width and height.
More than ten thousand people worked together to build the wall very quickly, with the height increasing every day.
As the height of the stone wall increases, it becomes difficult to hit the heavy crossbows previously deployed. The hammer must blast the mountain again to deploy the heavy crossbows.
In just a few days, the northern ends of the hills on both sides of Brass Valley were bombed beyond recognition, but they still could not keep up with the speed of the enemy's wall.
Now the height of the stone wall is almost as high as the hill. I am afraid that in a day or two, the height will exceed the hill.
At that time, the Dangxiang people can attack Brass Valley from a high position, and it will be difficult for the Shu army's heavy crossbows and catapults to hit the stone wall.
In order to prevent such a situation, Jin Feng began to modify the catapult yesterday.
However, the structure of the catapult is too simple. Its potential has been fully exploited by Jin Feng, and there is not much room for modification.
Jin Feng has been working overtime in the laboratory for a day and a night, but he has not come up with a good solution.
Everyone was counting on Tang Fei to send the hot air balloon over as soon as possible and then launch a counterattack, but who knew that the hot air balloon was burned...
Monkey had a good relationship with Tang Fei, and he was also very concerned about the situation of the second reconnaissance battalion, and asked: "Old Tang, have you sent someone to notify Dashan Pass to send more hot air balloons?"
"I arranged for a class of brothers to go to Dasanguan, but since some people are watching me, there are probably people watching them too, but I believe the brothers can definitely complete the task!" Tang Fei said confidently.
"Even if they complete their mission, what's the use of notifying Dashan Pass?" Zhang Liang said coldly.
Even if the escort who went to Dashan Pass to report the news was faster than Tang Fei, he would send the news to Dashan Pass today. Dashan Pass would immediately arrange for someone to send the second batch of hot air balloons, and everything went well on the way. I'm afraid it would be difficult to send them here again.
That's too late!
What's more, it is impossible for that team of escorts to reach Dashan Pass today, because the distance between the mountain col and Dashan Pass is much further than that of Zhuangzigou, and Tang Fei's speed is faster than that of ordinary escorts.
The enemy would not allow the escort to rush back so smoothly, let alone watch the escort send a second batch of hot air balloons to Zhuangzigou.
They will definitely block you on the road.
"Get ready for a tough fight!" Jin Feng said: "Inform the logistics battalion to prepare explosive packets. Once the stone wall enters the attack range of the catapult, use the explosive packets to blow up their stone wall immediately!"
The stone wall built by the party members was very simple. No adhesive was used. The soldiers moved the stones together to maintain stability. The structure was small at the bottom and large at the top.
If explosives are used to blow up the rocks below, the rocks above will collapse.
This is why Jin Feng is still sitting still and did not agree with Zhang Liang to send death squads to blow up the wall.
"Yes!" Zhang Liang nodded and his expression became serious.
Tang Fei opened his mouth and wanted to take the initiative to plead guilty and accept punishment, but was stopped by the monkey.
At this time, Zhang Liang was furious. It would be a pity if he got angry and removed Tang Fei from his position.
It was on this day that Li Lingrui also received news from Chen Anjie.www.81zw.????m
There are no more hot air balloons in Brass Valley, and there are not many falcons left in the Southern Expedition.
During the recent period, Li Lingrui has been worried about Jin Feng getting a new hot air balloon, so he has been urging Chen Anjie to keep an eye on Dashanguan.
This was also one of the conditions for him to agree to Chen Anjie's soy sauce operation at the south end of Zhuangzhuanggou.
Now that it was confirmed that the hot air balloon sent from Dashan Pass had been burned by the soldiers sent by the King of Qin, Li Lingrui's heart finally fell to the ground.
With the snowfall in recent days, the weather has become colder and colder, and the food carried by the Southern Expeditionary Army has become less and less. In order to kill Jin Feng as soon as possible, Li Lingrui once again increased the manpower for the wall.
At noon on the third day of the Lunar New Year, the southern section of the stone wall finally entered the attack range of the catapult.
Zhang Liang immediately ordered the attack.
An explosive package drew an arc in the air and landed on the southern section of the stone wall.
With a violent explosion, a large gap was opened at the bottom of the stone wall, and the stones on top slid down one after another. Many of the party soldiers on the stone wall also slipped down and were killed and injured by the stones.
However, Li Lingrui did not stop building the wall and rescue the wounded at all. Instead, he dispatched more soldiers to make up for it.
Suddenly, the stone wall was densely packed with party soldiers. From the air, they looked like ants carrying large and small stones and throwing them from the edge of the stone wall.
Those party soldiers who slipped down were directly buried in the stone wall.
There is strength in numbers. As Li Lingrui continued to increase his manpower, even if the Shu army kept bombing, the length of the stone wall was still slowly increasing.
