Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

Sitting on the horse, Ning Fan galloped like an ordinary soldier.

When it got dark, everyone found a secluded forest and planned to rest here.

"Your Highness, we are three hundred miles away from Yinshan Mountain. We have already walked more than half of it this afternoon! We should be able to arrive tomorrow afternoon."

Sun Lu found the map, pointed at the location of the Yinshan Base Camp on the map and said.

Ning Fan shook his head and said: "If it is tomorrow afternoon, it will be too late!"

"The ministries should have arrived at Yinshan in the afternoon. To form a coalition, the Huyan tribe must come out to take the lead."

"What do you mean?"

Sun Lu looked confused.

Ning Fan smiled and said: "Do you think I really want to lead a thousand people to break through the defense line of tens of thousands of people?"

Sun Lu was confused by Ning Fan: "Then what do you mean, Your Highness?"

"General Sun, can't you walk without a horse? We can go up from behind Yinshan Mountain, catch them by surprise, and annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

Ning Fan pointed at Yinshan Mountain and said.

Sun Lu was completely shocked: "Your Highness, that Yin Mountain is extremely steep, how is that possible!"

Ning Fan, however, didn't take it seriously and said, "It's not impossible. Let's rest for four hours and start climbing up from the north tonight."

Sun Lu was speechless, but Ning Fan had orders and there was nothing he could do.

After a while, a dark and thin middle-aged man walked into Ning Fan's tent. Following the dark and thin man were two other scouts of the Dragon Scale Army.

"Your Highness, this person's name is Zhao Liang. He is a native of Yunzhou who has lived in Yunzhou for generations. He is also of Dakang blood. He is absolutely reliable."

A scout spoke.

Ning Fan nodded and looked at Zhao Liang.

This Zhao Liang is not tall, only about 1.6 meters tall. He is dressed in a sheepskin robe. He is exquisite and capable, with bright eyes. At first glance, he is an experienced hunter.

"Zhao Liang, before dawn, a thousand of us have to climb Yinshan Mountain from the side. Do you know the way?"

Ning Fan asked.

When Zhao Liang heard what Ning Fan said, his eyes widened slightly, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Your Highness, a small team is fine, but with so many people, there is too much movement! And finally there is a scourge, you need to rely on vines to swing across, experience If it’s not enough, nine times out of ten, you’ll fall off the cliff!”

When Sun Lu heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, there is no road, how can we get there?"

Ning Fan was too lazy to pay attention to Sun Lu, but asked Sun Liang again: "How wide is it approximately? Can you usually go there alone?"

"Yes! But there are risks when it's dark."

Zhao Liang looked determined.

Ning Fan nodded: "We will set off in a moment. All the horses will stay here, and we will only carry light weapons."

Seeing that he could not stop Ning Fan, Sun Lu simply said nothing, but his expression still showed fear.

In Sun Lu's eyes, Ning Fan was simply a crazy person, doing things as if he had no imagination.

A four-hour event during the day is enough to restore physical fitness.

Ning Fan found the time and rested for a while. When the time came, almost all the thousands of people in the camp began to pack their bags.

Daggers, long knives, bows and arrows...

Every soldier is very neatly equipped.

When Zhao Liang saw the cavalry's sophisticated compound bows, he also had a look of envy in his eyes.

"Zhao Liang, if this operation is successful, I will give you a horse and a compound bow as a gift!"

Ning Fan smiled.

When Zhao Liang heard this, his eyes showed surprise, but he immediately shook his head and said: "Your Highness, I don't want anything. I want to follow Your Highness and join the army!"

"why?"

Ning Fan was a little surprised. Zhao Liang already looked old and not suitable to be a soldier.

And judging from Zhao Liang's appearance, he should have children.

"I am thirty-six years old this year. I already have a wife and a pair of children at home, so I have nothing to worry about! Fighting on the battlefield is my favorite thing."

Zhao Liang said frankly.

Ning Fan nodded: "Survive first and then talk about it."

A team of thousands of people moved in unison, walking silently in the jungle following the guide Zhao Liang.

This is a mountain path. No one can light torches at night. They can only rely on the snow in the mountains to see the direction and distinguish the road.

In the second half of the night, everyone's path was finally blocked by a natural chasm.

There is a hundred meters of distance between the two high mountains.

It is almost impossible to cross this natural chasm.

But Ning Fan discovered that Zhao Liang chose to observe everywhere.

"Your Highness, if you climb that tree, you can shorten the distance to the opposite side to twenty meters! Through the vines, you can go directly to the opposite side."

"I often go there alone, and I also went to observe the Jurchen tribe."

Zhao Liang said in a calm voice.

Only then did Ning Fan discover that there was a towering green tree growing between the cliffs.

The tree's canopy is huge, blocking out the sky and sun, and its branches and leaves cover half of the cliff, which shortens the distance between the two sides a lot.

"That won't work either. There are so many of us, how can we all get through like this."

Sun Lu immediately objected.

Ning Fan waved his hand, and two soldiers dragged up a large package.

After the package was opened, there was something inside that no one had ever seen before.

A huge crossbow, made of steel.

A few soldiers quickly assembled it, and soon they formed a giant ballista!

The arrow is as thick as a spear, and there is a rope hanging behind the arrow. The rope is not thick, but it is definitely long enough.

"Zhao Liang, you go over first. After I shoot the rope over with a ballista, you find a big tree and tie it up."

Ning Fan looked calm, but he was well prepared.

Sun Lu on the side was speechless, his face a little hot.

This thing is definitely a killer!

It was easy to shoot the huge crossbow arrows and the rope to the opposite side at once.

Zhao Liang was a little surprised and surprised when he saw this ballista. He was pleasantly surprised and said: "It turns out that His Highness has such a magical weapon! It seems that crossing the cliff is nothing!"

Zhao Liang is not tall, but his arms are very long. He is as agile as an ape and can shoot up a very tall tree in a few clicks.

Zhao Liang walked very quickly along the single branches and leaves on the tree crown.

However, Zhao Liang was very cautious when choosing vines. After choosing a vine that was strong enough, Zhao Liang jumped up and relied on the power of the vines to swing towards the opposite side.

Everyone was worried about Zhao Liang. If Zhao Liang failed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Ning Fan just watched quietly and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhao Liang landed on the opposite tree crown and grabbed a branch.

"Is this a human or a monkey?"

Sun Lu couldn't help but marvel.

Ning Fan had no time to talk nonsense and directly ordered the crossbow operator to start preparations.

Under the reflection of the snow light, some things could still be seen. After aiming and fixing, several crossbowmen began to work together to pull the bowstring of the crossbow.

With a bang, a thick and long crossbow arrow flew towards the opposite side with a slender rope.
