Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 828 Heavenly Soldiers
"Fifth Uncle, will this... work?" On the eastern cliff, listening to the whistling mountain wind at the bottom of the cliff, Li Jinglong felt uneasy in his heart.

This cliff was like a sword from the gods, splitting a mountain that should have been connected into two halves, one high and one low. Can human power really overcome such a might of heaven and earth?

Zhu Su did not answer, but silently helped the soldier who volunteered to jump over the cliff to tie the straps. The soldier had a huge glider on his back, which was like a wing. Because of the mountain wind, it felt like he was about to be blown into the sky.

It is not difficult to make a hang glider. After Zhu Su drew the blueprint, he directed several soldiers who had worked as craftsmen to work together. After a while, the first prototype was completed.

However, things did not go smoothly. The first hang glider was broken by strong winds when it was carried to the cliff. The second and third hang gliders were also damaged for various reasons before they were tested.

Zhu Su simply used the tough flagpole as the glider frame and tore off the best lining fabric from his tent to use as the glider material, and then he made two temporary gliders. He tied a heavy object about the weight of a person to one of the gliders, and when he saw that the glider had successfully flown to the opposite cliff through the telescope, he began to let the selected warrior fly.

"...Be careful. If you can reach the opposite cliff, be careful when you land. If anything goes wrong, your comrades will pull you up the cliff... Regardless of whether you succeed or not, I will never forget your heroic deeds today!"

The soldier who volunteered to take the risk was only in his twenties, still a young man, but he already had a lot of messy beard on his face. Upon hearing this, the bearded man was already excited and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. My mother told me that I have a good fortune and can live to be seventy or eighty years old! Nothing will happen to me this time. I will definitely take Your Highness and my brothers to fly over this bird cliff!"

Hearing his outspokenness, Zhu Su also laughed. He checked the hang glider again and found nothing unusual, so he patted the bearded man on the shoulder. "Then, I and the thousands of brothers will be grateful for your blessing... Go! Regardless of whether you succeed or not, I will ensure that your name goes down in history!"

The bearded man saluted with his fists, tightened the rope around his waist, and then began to run. Facing the wind-swept cliff, he jumped decisively...

Everyone's attention was drawn to this unknown soldier. This soldier with wings and a rope tied around his waist stayed in the air for only a moment before he fell into the cliff like a kite with a broken string.

"Ah..." Everyone on the cliff cried out in unison, with unconscious panic and concern in their voices. But before they could go forward to check the situation, they saw a black shadow flash, and the bearded soldier was pushed up by the valley wind on the cliff again. White clouds were hazy, and he was actually flying in the air.

"Fifth Uncle, it actually... worked! It really worked!" Li Jinglong cheered.

Not only him, but also the Ming army who were watching on the cliff burst into cheers when they saw their comrades were safe and sound and actually flew into the sky. They had been trapped on the lonely mountain for several days, and this was the first time they were so excited.

Zhu Su did not dare to take it lightly. He tightly grasped the hem of his clothes and stared at the direction of the bearded soldier without blinking. Although he did not fall into the cliff, he had not yet flown to the other side, so this method could not be considered a success... Maybe the glider would break in the middle of the journey, or maybe a gust of wind would blow the brave warrior away... Since the dust had not yet settled, how could he not be worried?
But perhaps this bearded man was really blessed by heaven, or perhaps God did not want the Ming Dynasty to be defeated by mere bandits... In any case, in the blue sky, the simple temporary hang glider was really swaying and flew to the top of the cliff opposite.

The bearded man seemed to have fallen when he landed, but fortunately he was not seriously injured. Zhu Su saw through the telescope that he untied the rope around his waist and tied it firmly to a tree that was big enough for several people to hug, then raised the bright red mandarin duck battle robe in his hand and waved it towards here.

"It's done!" Zhu Su clenched his fist with joy, and then shouted: "Quick, make preparations quickly and cross the cliff in batches!"

The Ming army, which had already made arrangements, immediately began to move. They tightened the rope and tied it firmly, and then several people formed a team and began to use the rope as a zipline to slide to the other side before it got dark. After reaching the other side, the Ming army quickly set up several new cableways. Under the setting sun, the shadows of people on the cableways were dim, creating a scene of flying across the river.

It didn't take many hours for thousands of Ming soldiers to cross to the other side. The morale of the Ming army was high because they had successfully conquered this natural barrier.

"Your Highness, what should we do next?" Di Meng leaned over and asked.

"The strength of the bandits' troops is unknown, so we might as well withdraw to Dadu Port first, mobilize elite troops, advance on Chen Zuyi, and capture both the religious bandits and Chen Zuyi in one fell swoop..." he suggested.

This is indeed a safe method, but Zhu Su looked at the soldiers who were in high spirits because they had accomplished a great feat, and smiled cunningly: "It is not polite not to return the favor. The thieves designed to deceive us and trapped us in the lonely mountain for several days."

"With such great generosity, how can we not return the favor and make Chen Zuyi's trip worthwhile?"

……

At this time, Chen Zuyi didn't know that Zhu Su and others had already left the isolated mountain quietly and were preparing to give him a big gift.

He was still at the foot of the western mountain road, looking up at the winding mountain road, guarding against the attack of the Ming army.

"Boss, the sun has already set... Even if the Ming army is arrogant, they won't take the risk of fighting at night on the mountain road."

"Maybe he finally felt the pain? He backed out?"

"Impossible." Chen Zuyi put down the telescope in his hand and said decisively. "Although I don't like King Zhou, I have to admit that he is indeed a great man. Is he scared by such a small scene? You must be blinded by greed!"

After saying that, he casually spat out the grass stem in his mouth and muttered, "This shouldn't be the case. These past few days, I deliberately asked the little guys to reduce the amount of kerosene we use... Ming Gouzi thought our kerosene was running low, so he should have put more effort into the feint attack."

"Why is there suddenly no sound today? Did something happen on the mountain?"

Chen Zuyi was shocked, but after thinking carefully, he couldn't think of any loopholes. There are only two ways down the mountain. This side is quiet, and the south side of the mountain is guarded by Fu Puxin and the guys of the White Lotus Sect... Although Fu Puxin was defeated by the Ming Dynasty, he and his men are still of some level.

Besides, there are 3,000 foreign troops that he lent him... enough to stop the Ming army. And if the Ming army attacks the south, there will definitely be some movement.

Since there was no movement on either road, the Ming army must still be on the mountain. Could it be that they could grow wings and fly down the mountain?
