    When it was getting dark, a majestic mountain appeared in front of us. It was extremely dangerous with its steep mountains and thousands of rocky peaks.

    Ge Shuhan pointed to the mountain in front and explained to Chen Wanrong: "Brother Chen, this is Jishi Mountain. This is the farthest place that China has marched into this land. Zhao Chongguo, a famous general in the Western Han Dynasty, was ordered to guard the western border. Once, the army came  Jishi Mountain. More than seven hundred years have passed, and there has never been another march on the scale of his. We are the second army after Zhao Chongguo to arrive here on such a scale, so we should be proud."

    Zhao Chongguo, a famous general in the Western Han Dynasty, once accompanied Li Guangli, the general of the Second Division, to the Second Division City and fought hard to capture the army. He was wounded dozens of times and dozens of arrow clusters were taken out from his body.  Li Guangli thought highly of him and recommended him to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Zhao Chongguo became famous.

    His greatest achievement was his battle with the Xiqiang who were entrenched on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at that time, and he achieved very important achievements.  When he began to discuss military affairs, others did not take it seriously. Later, his opinions were accepted by others. Whenever he discussed military affairs, he always praised him for his good deeds. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty valued him very much and entrusted him with the important task of guarding Xizhui.

    Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was the first emperor in Chinese history to use large-scale troops on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and Zhao Chongguo was the first famous general in Chinese history to make a large-scale march here. Moreover, he also achieved very important achievements and had a great influence on future generations.

    Chen Wanrong longed for the heroic deeds of his ancestors, and sighed with emotion: "The terrain here is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the roads are rugged, and marching is difficult. How difficult it was for Zhao Chongguo to reach this mountain seven hundred years ago."  !¡±

    "It's not easy for Zhao Chongguo to get here, but the deeds of our ancestors have come true! It's not easy for us to get here today, but I believe we will march further!" Ge Shuhan said confidently: "Although Duo Ma blocked it  He can't stop Cheng Xiaotian, but he can't stop us."

    "I think so too!" Wang Shaohua took a look at the sky. It was already late, and suggested: "Brother Chen, we will camp here tonight. We will pass Jishi Mountain early tomorrow morning. The road to Jishi Mountain is extremely dangerous and difficult to pass.  , it is a big test for our artillery. Only after a night¡¯s rest will the brothers have the energy to overcome the mountain!¡±

    Chen Wanrong nodded in agreement: "That's great! Let's set up camp."

    When the order was passed, the artillery immediately set up camp and concentrated the artillery to guard it.  The artilleryman was born in the Longwu Army and had good military qualities. After receiving training from Ge Shuhan, he acted more quickly.  The camp was set up and the atmosphere was strict. Chen Wanrong was very satisfied.

    ¡°Brother Geshu, it¡¯s still a while before dark, let¡¯s go to Jishi Mountain to take a look and understand the situation.¡± Chen Wanrong suggested.

    Brother Shuhan had this intention and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, if you don't tell me, I will go too. Let's go and have a look. I have heard for a long time that the mountain roads in Jishi Mountain are dangerous, and I just want to see it."

    Wang Zhongsi suggested: "Since we are going, we should bring the school captain and brigade commander with us and let them know about it, so that we can know better."

    No one would disagree with this proposal. Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "Wang Zhongsi is right."

    After giving the order, the captain and brigade commander came immediately and entered Jishi Mountain with Chen Wanrong and others.

    The steepness of Jishi Mountain is beyond imagination. The mountains are towering, the roads are narrow, and huge rocks can be seen everywhere.  If an ambush were set up here, even gods would not be able to escape.

    "What a great place to use troops!" Ge Shuhan's eyes lit up.

    Wang Shaohua sighed with emotion: "No wonder Zhao Chongguo's troops never moved forward after they approached Jishi Mountain. The strength of the mountain alone was enough to scare people!"

    Ge Shuhan knew this period of history very well and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, Zhao Chongguo came here and stopped advancing. It's not that he didn't have the courage, but that even if he passed through Jishi Mountain and occupied more land, he would not  Use. This land is different from other places. Communication with the Central Plains is very inconvenient due to the high mountains and dense forests. Therefore, the indigenous people here do not know much about the Central Plains."

    Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had been emperor for fifty-four years, but he fought for more than thirty years, established great achievements, and created the "Prosperous Age of Han Wu".  His greatest achievement was to defeat the Huns and split them. Those die-hards moved north to the Volga River Basin, lived there for four centuries, and then moved westward, finally destroying the Western Roman Empire.

    The other part surrendered to the Han Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty ordered the Xiongnu to migrate inland and became the Pingfan of the Han Dynasty.  In order to show courtesy to the Xiongnu nobles, they were given the surname Liu to show their honor. The famous Liu Yuan in history was a Xiongnu.  A large part of the current Liu surnames are descendants of the Huns.

    Once the Xiongnu were defeated, the threat from the north was lifted. The Western Han Dynasty was finally free to deal with the affairs of the Western Frontier. Only then did Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty appoint the famous general Zhao Chongguo to guard the Western Frontier.  It was also from Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty that our ancestors began the war to conquer Qinghai-Tibet.  Historical changes, dynasties change, our ancestors began toIt's beautiful, but we will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties before us and make God's ruthlessness useless to us!  Because we are good men of the Tang Dynasty!  Because we are artillery!  "

    "We are good men of the Tang Dynasty! We are artillerymen!" the artillerymen shouted in unison.

    A bolt of thunder and lightning flashed across, illuminating the artilleryman¡¯s resolute face!

    Chen Wanrong waved his right arm heavily: "Now, I order you to put the pole on your shoulders and set off!"

    "Let's go! Let's go!" the artillerymen shouted, raising their artillery, braving the pouring rain, and embarked on the most arduous journey since the march.

    The most difficult thing about this march is the artillery. It needs to be dismantled. Six people carry the cannon body and two people carry the gun frame.  One cannon requires eight men, and twenty-five cannons require two hundred men.

    Chen Wanrong left 200 people for Wang Shaohua and others to guard the ten artillery pieces left behind, and set off with a total of 800 people.  Chen Wanrong divided these 800 people into three groups. One group was responsible for carrying artillery, one group was responsible for guarding, and one group was responsible for resting.  Of course, the three groups of people have to rotate.

    As for the artillery shells, they were easy to handle. The Tang army had many horses, which came in handy.  Chen Wanrong really put a lot of effort into the packaging of the artillery shells. Considering the issue of marching, every ten artillery shells were packed together, tightly wrapped, and then painted with moisture-proof agent, so that there would be no fear of moisture return.

    Chen Wanrong did an experiment. After packaging, he soaked the shells in water for a long time. When he opened them, he found that they were still very dry. No matter how heavy the rain was, there was no need to be afraid.  Just put it on the horse and transport it away.

    A hundred pounds of cannonballs were placed on Qinghua's back. Chen Wanrong held the reins, said goodbye to Wang Shaohua and Wang Zhongsi, and followed the team forward.

    It was raining heavily, and I couldn't even open my eyes. The water on the ground covered my insteps. The already uneven road was even more crisscrossed with ravines. When I walked, one foot was deep and the other was shallow, so I didn't walk very fast.

    Even in such a harsh environment, the artillery soldiers were full of momentum, shouting slogans and encouraging each other. Although the march was slow, it was smooth.  An hour later, we entered Jishi Mountain.

    After half a day, we came to a dangerous place, and we had to be very careful to let the artillery pass through.  There is a cliff below. If you are not careful and lose your footing, you will fall down and your body will be shattered.

    Liu Fuqing led fifty people to the front to clear the way. When he arrived, he saw countless boulders rolling down from above, whistling and falling down the cliff in the strong wind.

    "Landslide?" Liu Fuqing's expression changed drastically.

    If a landslide occurs here, it will be just a dream for artillery to pass through here.  When Liu Fuqing was surprised, hundreds of figures appeared on the hilltop, pointing at Liu Fuqing and the others and shouting: "You passers-by, please leave your money quickly and I will spare your life!"

    Another burst of boulders fell towards Liu Fuqing and the others.  (To be continued. If you want to know about the funeral, please log on to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters. Support the author and support genuine reading!) (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
