Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 104 Hang Gliding, Heavenly Soldier
On the peak of Tiantangzhai, in front of a cave.

Li Guo stood on a tall and huge rock, put his hand on the handle of the knife, and raised his eyes to look down the mountain.The cloak billows behind him, and he is tall and slender, worthy of the reputation of "a tiger".

In the early morning, the Ming army attacked the town, and there was a lot of gunfire.At noon, the mountain was surrounded again, and the foot of the mountain was crowded with people.

Li Guo secretly sighed: "I just said that the Ming army would not be able to enter the Dabie Mountains without ten days and a half months. I didn't expect that after only four days, they arrived in front of us. It was so fast! How did Chongzhen do it? Can he use magic tricks? "

Then he smiled disdainfully and said, "Hey, I was just trying to scare myself. Chongzhen is also a mortal body. How can there be any magic tricks! Fortunately, I was prepared and ran to hide in the mountains. There is enough food and water on the mountains. There are also a lot of wild game, not to mention a month, even half a year can last."

"Oh, Chongzhen, I want to see how you attack the mountain!"

Li Guo jumped off the rock, went to inspect the surroundings, and told the soldiers to stick to their defenses and not to fight lightly.After the camp tour, he relaxed and went back to the cave to cool off.

For two days and two nights in a row, the Ming army besieged but did not attack, and set up camp at the foot of the mountain, as if to compare their patience with Li Guo.

Li Guo became more and more disapproving, and said to the lieutenant general: "It is said that Chongzhen used soldiers like a god, but this time he made a mistake!"

The lieutenant asked: "How?"

"The Ming army raided the Dabie Mountains for a long distance, and the speed was really amazing. But in this way, they had to pack lightly and carry not much dry food. Long-distance raids paid attention to quick battles, but after Chongzhen arrived in the mountains, he slowed down the pace of attack. How many days can the army's food last?"

The lieutenant general said: "Maybe the Ming army's grain transport troops are behind. General Li, the general has a plan. I will lead a team quietly down the mountain to intercept the Ming army's grain transport troops. How about it?"

"This plan is feasible, but we must find a good time, and we must not be rash!" Li Guo said.

Before Li Guo could find an opportunity to send people down the mountain to attack the Ming army's food transport troops, the Ming army launched an attack on the afternoon of the third day.The fighting continued intermittently until dark.

The Ming army's style of play is very strange. It is not so much an attack as a harassment.

The soldiers of the Ming army charged to the middle of the mountain and shot from a distance.Once he fought with Li Guo's army, he immediately retreated.But not long after, they made a comeback again.

At night, during the interval between battles, Li Cunming ordered the soldiers to shout in unison: "Li Guo, Li Zicheng entrusted me with a dream to submit you to the Ming Dynasty! For Li Zicheng's sake, I can't bear to meet you with swordsmen, surrender quickly! !”

The shouts echoed and roared all over the mountains and plains, Li Guo was so annoyed that he stomped his feet and scolded: "Chongzhen likes to pretend to be a ghost. When he was in Ningling, he sent someone to pretend to be Guan Gong to deceive me. Now he is doing the same trick again. Do you think I am an idiot?"

Cursing on his lips, but feeling a little uneasy in his heart, he remembered seeing Li Zicheng's ghost a few days ago, and wondered to himself, could it be that his uncle really gave Chongzhen a dream?Maybe returning to the Ming Dynasty will not disappoint my uncle's expectations, and that's my only way out, right?

The Ming army never got tired of it, and fought and yelled all night.

Li Guo's army was overwhelmed, and it felt like all the grass and trees were all soldiers.Li Guo also didn't close his eyes all night, he was exhausted and his nerves were tense.

After dawn, the Ming army stopped.

Li Guo hastily ordered the soldiers to eat and rest as soon as possible, saying: "The so-called one-bombing, and then three and exhausted, the Ming army can't attack at the first time, and the morale will be worn down."

Unexpectedly, at noon, a dark cloud floated in the originally bright sky.The soldiers immediately realized that something was wrong, and someone shouted: "That's not a cloud, it's a bat swarm! My God, where are there so many bats?"

People looked up one after another, and sure enough, they saw dense bats flying in the sky, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.Swarms of bats circled back and forth in the air, and hula-la flew from east to west and then from west to east.

The lieutenant covered his eyes with one hand, and said: "The last general has checked, and there is a cliff in the back mountain, and there is a cave on the cliff, which is full of bats..."

Speaking of this, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "General Li, it's not the Ming army who climbed up from the cliff and alarmed the bats, right?"

As soon as the words fell, many soldiers were heard shouting: "The Ming army is here, and the Ming army is coming from behind the mountain!"

"Oh, it's not good. The Ming army pretended to attack last night. It turned out to be a cover!" Li Guo stomped his feet and asked hastily, "How many people are there?"

"The trees are tall and the forest is dense, it's hard to see!"

"Follow me!" Li Guo drew out his knife and ran towards the back mountain with more than 2000 people.

Rushing to the back mountain, more than 300 Ming troops happened to rush down from the cliff. The two armies immediately fought together, and the fight was inextricable.

Li Guo observed the situation and found that there seemed to be only more than 300 Ming troops. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Kill these people first, and then hold the cliff. Regardless of whether there are enemies climbing up, we There will be no danger!"

Li Guo's idea was correct. After killing the Ming army in front of him and then guarding the commanding heights of the cliff, the Ming army's subsequent troops could only look back and sigh.

But at this moment, sharp-eyed people saw soldiers of the Ming army jumping on the cliff one after another, and were stunned at first. Did these people climb the cliff so hard to commit suicide by jumping off the cliff?

Immediately stunned, the soldiers of the Ming army jumped off the cliff and rose into the air, with a huge and strange thing like a bird's wing on their bodies.

"They...they can fly!" Someone yelled in horror.

Li Guo raised his eyes hastily, he thought the Ming army was coming in a hot air balloon, thinking it was that old trick again.When he saw it clearly, he was also stunned. It was not a hot air balloon, but something he had never seen before.

God, why does Chongzhen have so many tricks?
Li Guo didn't know that the Ming soldiers were using hang glider.

This was obtained by Li Cunming when he signed in at Fengyang Mansion. There were [-] of them in total. After more than a month, a group of glider personnel was trained, which came in handy today.

In ancient China, there was no lack of exploration of the sky. Being able to fly into the sky like a bird has been a dream that people have never stopped since ancient times.

It is mentioned in the Han Shu that Wang Mang recruited strange people to attack the Xiongnu. One of them made wings out of bird feathers, with feathers on his head and body.This should be regarded as the predecessor of wingsuit flight.

In another case, in the Northern Qi Dynasty before the Sui Dynasty, the tyrant Gao Yang ordered the death row prisoners to be tied with bamboo mats as wings and fly down from a height of more than 30 meters. As a result, most of the prisoners fell to the ground and fell to pieces, but only one person hovered and glided and landed successfully. The first recorded successful human flight.It's a pity that this person was still executed, and no one tried again in the future.

The most famous is the story of "Wan Hu Flying to the Sky" in the early Ming Dynasty. There was a man named Tao Chengdao who held two kites and sat on a snake-shaped speeding car full of 47 rockets. The sky, unfortunately fell.

Whether it's feathers, bamboo mats, or snake-shaped flying cars, it can't be compared with hang gliding.

The hang glider rewarded by the father of the system is very strong and strong. The main structure is composed of a triangle frame, a control frame, a mast, a tension line, and an umbrella cloth.It is also equipped with a hanging bag to provide warmth, protection and rectification for the glider.

After the hang glider takes off, the glider's legs are lifted back and stretched into the hanging bag. The legs can be used for strength, and the hands are also switched from both sides to the lower crossbar of the control frame, making the flight more stable.

Gliders wear special leather jackets, which not only protect against wind and keep warm, but also reduce wind resistance.

In fact, these people climbed to the cliff last night and lurked until noon.First, it took a long time to assemble the hang glider.

The second reason is that if the hang glider wants to fly, it must generate an upward force.At noon, the valley wind prevails in the mountains, and the wind blows upwards from the valley, providing power for gliding.

Compared with hot air balloons, hang gliders are much smaller and lighter, rely entirely on wind power, save fuel, and are easier to operate when hovering and turning in the air.

Li Guo's soldiers didn't know so much, and they had never seen people who could fly in the air. When they saw dozens of Ming soldiers descending from the sky, they were stunned and frightened, thinking that they were soldiers from heaven.

Qi Dazhuang is the general of the Flying Tigers, and it was he who led the paragliders into actual combat for the first time.The air currents were rushing, the cold wind was howling, and a few panicked soldiers made misoperations, or fell quickly to pieces, or crashed into trees or rocks, and their brains burst.

Zhu Yousong howled like killing a pig: "Ah...the wind is too strong...my mouth is blown crooked..."

"Steady!" Qi Dazhuang roared, flying hundreds of meters, suddenly saw Li Guo, and said ecstatically, "That man is Li Guo, catch him!"

The gliders quickly circled over and gathered together, swooping down like a group of eagles, heading straight for Li Guo.

The peasant army was in a state of trance, and suddenly saw the "magic soldiers" rushing down, how could they dare to resist, and retreated one after another.

Li Guo turned around to run, but was caught by Qi Dazhuang, the two fell to the ground.Under the huge impact, the two of them rolled together with the hang glider, and they didn't stop until they hit a big tree heavily.

After a long while, Qi Dazhuang's triumphant and hearty laughter sounded in the valley: "Li Guo, do you still know me? I dressed up as Master Guan in Ningling and scared the shit out of you. Now you are in my hands again! God's will, God's will, haha..."
